Guts' Kill Roster: How many has he REALLY killed?

[brinco]

Great idea and good work

[Chung]

Not sure I understand what you mean...?

Sry, I'm sleepy, I was refering to adding the "Guts Kill Roster"-...thing to the actual list too, you know, there's the list with all the manga covers and such, but the "Guts Kill Roster" on top of it is gone. Might have been nice to just keep it in that place, (pretty trite, I know, but I was just trying to be somehow constructive )...was that understandable now ?

Ah, I get it now.  Yeah I could add the header, but I think it gets in the way. And since you have to go through the form to get to the actual roster anyway, it's not like you'll forget where you are

[Chung]

Haha, true that 

How about adding a pic of Guts, when sorting the list in chronological order? So it would be a new pic for each stage of his life instead of the volume covers, maybe?

So, a new picture for every instance he ages?  I like the idea, but it wouldn't be very balanced for the roster as a whole. There'd be a pic of him at 9, 11, 15 and from age 18 on, he looks virtually the same.

I'll try it out though and see how it looks. An image is worth 1000 words afterall.

Update: Added a little guide, hosted by one of my favorite characters. Check it out.

Wow, that is a fantastic work.

Very nice page.

[CnC]

a fine guide for a great guide.

Good work!

Great job really immpresive! Just a quick one I didn't see a count for the possesed horse in vol. 17? If I missed something apologies in advance

Hehe yeah, just goes to show you that the job is never done    I've found a handful of other ones myself.  Thankfully with the new format, its much easier to add them.

Good call!

[Serpico]

Woah, nice work. I've considered doing a count myself but an image of Guts sword covered with insect apostle spawn flashing in my head has always stopped my plan.

Maybe I'll start a count for Serpico. If there is 30 more volumes and he kills the peons while Guts deals with 1 or 2 huge prey he could probably catch up... well probably not actually, since guts also hacks peons before, after, and in the middle of all his fights, but Serpico will probably make a decent count too. I think he is already number 2, or is that Schierke and her blaze wheel, etc? She might actually pass Guts.

[handsome rakshas]

Great job, Water! 

[Some Guy]

Fine work Walter, it looks great!

[Serpico]

I did a count for Serpico. So far he is upto 65 kills with about 5 being debateable but still likely.

[Walter]

Do you have them listed by vol/page? 

[Serpico]

Do you have them listed by vol/page? 

Well I did, but my numbering reflects my own files. Here they are though

I put a question by the ones I wasn't sure of. There is the 3 mounted tigers whose heads get slashed up with Serpico's whirlwind attacks. Roderick stabbed one in the eye later so I know they lived a little longer. Then also the apostle chasing them which Schierke blasts its neck with hairs and then Serpico slashes along his head after which he collapses and I think is never seen again.

I don't think we can tell whether he's collapsing or not, and since they're pretty much fleeing after Serpico slashes his face I don't think he died (besides he's an apostle, he wouldn't die from a superficial cut). As far as I can tell Serpico managed to blind him (he got one eye but it looks like he slightly missed the other) and they used the opportunity to run away and hide in the armor's room while he was rampaging in the corridor.

Other than that it looks like the tigers lived a little longer yeah, even though his attack badly wounded them. As for the skeleton in episode 196... That's hard to say really, it depends on the criteria to count deaths that occur off screen.

[Forest Wraith]

Great work everyone. Walter; the design is amazing, you thought of everything and then some.

[Tuco_godguns]

you should send it to miura

[xbigvmanx]

I am sure he can easily kill more then 100 with his skills these days. i just wonder how many can he kill before he collapses in one battle. And lets choose an army of human merceneries. I would think now he can kill 1000. With all of his gadgets and power of the Armor.

What the hell does this have to do with the roster?  And he didnt reach the 1000 mark until the Trolls in the Qliphoth, so claiming he can kill 1000 on any given tuesday is just ridiculous.

is Rochine dead? I remember her flying away thinking about dinner.

[Sparnage]

is Rochine dead? I remember her flying away thinking about dinner.

Yeah it's made pretty clear she died while flying away after the damage Guts inflicted on her, a great trophy of the kill roster I must say.

[Aazealh]

is Rochine dead? I remember her flying away thinking about dinner.

And then her body breaks apart as she fall.

Does Ganishka's apparation count as a kill? 

[Walter]

Does Ganishka's apparation count as a kill? 

Hmmmmm... That's a good question. I'll have to consult my peers ( , ).  I have a strong feeling they'll approve of it even though my personal gut reaction to it is "no way."  I don't even know what it'd be classified as... I guess in terms of the roster, it's the same as dispelling a ghost.  But... I just don't know.  It's not a distinct entity from Ganishka; it's really more like Guts chopped off Ganishka's spiritual arm, more than mortally wounded him.
