I guess all this talk begs the question: does Guts match up to someone like Aolsier?
Before the Berserk's armor I'd have said no, but now... Maybe.
Aaz, what was Aolsier's plan? Probably to gather all the greatest blacksmiths in the country (world?) to create a sword actually capable of fighting dragons. Once he got what he came for, maybe there was no reason to "fake" being human anymore.
Good question, but what purpose did that serve then? I don't think he only planned to kill a single "dragon" (apostle?). I'm curious as to what happened to him afterwards. SK seems to know of his existence, so the more I think of it the more I'm believing he'll show up in Elfhelm. Training Guts with the DS so he can take up the God Hand.
The biological son of Aolsier?
Actually, why not. We've never seen or heard anything about Guts' father, and Guts' strength is incredible, beyond that of humans. If Aolsier is really the king of Elfhelm then that would make Guts an elfman, a theory that was pretty popular back in 2001.
The more we discuss this, the more I think it makes sense. I think we're on to something here.
I would almost willing to bet that its someone that we already have seen.
Hmm, but who? Maybe he's lying in wait for something to happen? You're not thinking of Ganishka, are you? Maybe he would have ordered the DS created to fight against Griffith?
Also if King Aolsier is on Elfhelm, I would imagine that Puck would have said something by now about a guy who somewhat resembles Guts whether it be his strength, demeanor, or what not. I know Puck is forgetful of tings but it seems like this would be one topic he wouldn't forget...
But do you remember Puck's strange reaction when the king of Elfhelm was mentioned? He stayed silent when Isidro and Ivalera teased him... It was very strange, I think he knows something he's not saying. Maybe he doesn't want Guts to discover the truth for some reason.
