Hey everybody,
I started watching the Berserk anime last weekend (So bare with me if I don't know all of the names), and ended up finishing through all of the manga yesterday... The whole while, I've been thinking.
Do you think that Fate has no direct control over what happens to Guts? Here are some thoughts that might support this theory:
- During his first rise to power, no one defeated Griffith or could come even close to the impact that he had on peoples' actions and thought - except for Guts. Guts not only fought against him very well initially, but eventually people began to like him debatable just as much as Griffith.
- When the sacrifice occurred, he actually survived. He has to have been the only person, if not one of the only people, to do such a thing.
- Without his presence, all of his current party would be dead. Casca would have died in the Sacrifice; the boy would have been killed by those enemy troops; Farnese, her servant/half-brother/lover, and the mace-wielding lieutenant would have died during the second sacrifice; the young witch probably would have died in either the attack on her home or later on and she toted her witch-ability to heretic-hungry religious fanatics; everyone on the boat would have been killed in the raid on the Holy City.
- Also without his presence, the only people to oppose Griffith's ascension to the Midland throne would have died against those demon-tigers at the ball.
To me, it feels like he's the only one who can oppose fate's plan; the ones who should have been taken by fate are drawn to him much like everyone else is drawn to Griffith.
What do you guys think?
(On another note, is there a word filter on this site? Like half of the names I wrote down appear to have changed.)
