One of my favorite characters is Ganishka, and the reason why I like him is very simple: his attitude. I mean, he is an apostle and should be serving the godhand in general and Griffith in particular, and what does he do? He shows godhand the finger! His ego is so large that he propably thinks he can take on Idea all by himself.Anybody else here like Ganishka for this?
He shows Griffith the finger to be precise, and I doubt him to think he could vanquish Idea in any kind of way. Don't forget that to Idea, he's probably no more than a pawn in the great scheme of things. I do like him anyway, for various reasons.
Oh, and bye the way, how is anyone ever going to defeat Ganishka? After all, his apostle form is fog.
You're being a bit hasty here, we don't know that; it's an assumption at best.
I personally think his fog form is a result of the magical powers he keeps bragging about, as well as the whole mist in Wyndham thing. He clearly says that as long as the city stays deep in that fog, he can't be defeated. Familiars, frying apostles with thunder and such are also a manifestation of the power he has aside from (or in combination with) being an apostle.
That's the result of an apostle having a deep knowledge of the world and how it works I guess (he even mocks Locus and his men about being cocky with "the small amount of Evil they received in their bodies"). Take him without all this defensive preparation with the magical fog, the Daka (created using minor apostles he apparently "captured"), the familiars, and I think he wouldn't be
that strong. Still strong and very dangerous, but not invincible or anything like that.
As for his apostle form, I'd see something ugly with many, many teeth.
