Actually, the look for Guts is based more on Hauer's mercenary character in Paul Verhoeven's medieval cult classic Flesh + Blood.

Faust said:Miura said in an interview that Guts's face is actually modeled after Rudger Hauer, the psycho android from Blade Runner.
Kentarou Miura said:But there wasn't anybody in particular for Guts and Griffith. [...] I wasn't really thinking of anybody at the time I created Guts. But if you're only talking about his looks and not about his personality then I guess Rutger Hauer was the model. I saw him playing a mercenary in a medieval movie, "Flesh & Blood" and I really liked him in that movie. He also played the lead in "Salute of the Jugger." It was an Sci Fi movie, but I thought the character he played was similar to Guts. And the main character from "Highlander" kind of reminds me of Guts. I think it had a lot to do with those cool collected type heroes I admired when I was in college.

Aazealh said:(see Guts in volume 1, doesn't look anything like Hauer)

Aazealh said:I think this episode may be the one showing us the real beginning of Vritannis' attack, the title makes me think that numerous enemies will start pouring down the streets (or will already be there, like the familiar), and we might even see more assailants assaulting the ball, reinforcements for the skewered tiger.
Alucalb said:I thought he kinda did, in some places. But that's just me.
Smith said:Wow! And Guts have to take them down all alone?
Judo said:considering that this town is full of troops of the holy sea, i guess Guts won't be the only one who fights back the Kushans...

Anyway, the episode is out. Quick & rough summary: After Guts deals with the original tiger in a swift jaw-dropping action, more familiars start assailing the ball and cut short to the nobles' curiosity concerning Guts (Owen included ). Casca takes refuge near Farnese (haha, how can she say no?), who asks Guts to protect her parents, and Schierke spots the casters controlling the tigers. Serpico goes collect their heads while Guts mangles the familiars, to "check if he's going better". Next issue on August, 26. |

Abstraction said:Best part was when it looks like Sir Owen recognises Guts from the band of the hawk days...pg.5 (or does he recognise the sword from when Godo was there...na he's not that old)
So yeah I hardly have time to post here, but Thanks Aazealth for the new episode!
