Evil is born when we lose power over ourselves.
My Hat's off to Gambino, I can understand him working so hard to make Guts tough but the man is childish himself. The scene where Guts scores a hit when they are sparring and he responds by getting enraged and cutting him across the face sums it up for me. A really cool and confident mercernary badass would have just laughed it off, praised the kid for showing such skill and toughness: And then kicked him again while his guard was down for balking at having cut somebody . . .
Pimping your adopted son crosses a line too. However, as if that weren't enough: Instead of accepting his fate and just deciding to live quietly after losing his legs. Gambino couldn't be at peace with himself and had to take out his anger at his feelings of weakness on Guts . . . People who scape-goat others for their own misfortune and failings are beneath contempt in my opinion.
My thoughts exactly. It's all the more impressive when you take into account the fact of how inhumane being an Apostle encourages people to act. Yet he always treated his daughter with Humanity, he really Loved her.

Aazealh said:If you put aside the fact he was an apostle, the Count was great to his daughter. He locked her up in her room, but that's not the end of the world, especially for a noble's daughter. He never harmed her and in the end, chose to die rather than sacrifice her.
