This is just a small little thing I said earlier on some other post but didnt really make it as clear.
If you ask me, Guts is something that God Hand, Causality didnt exactly expect. He is able to survive pretty much anything, and he is purely human, minus the brand. Even still, he is able to utterly destroy many apostles, and live on through the 'edge of reality'. Some fans have even gone as far to say that Guts could be the USO, based on the fact that he has never given in to Idea. I.E. everything he has gained has been through his own works. Guts has avoided death on several, countless occasions, and if you ask me, any one of them was something designed by Idea to kill Guts, to erase him from the picture, for in the original plan of causality, Guts was meaningless, just another human not nearly as important as someone like Griffith, for whom an entire era of people were manipulated. and so, Guts survived his frightening birth, survived the attack with gambino, survived countless battles, the 100 man assault, Zodd, the eclipse, countless apostles, the count, Roshinu, Mozgus, a second fight with Zodd.....any of which could have been meant to wipe guts out of the picture.
However, if Guts was supposed to be killed off earlier, and yet remained a 'flaw' in the system of causality so to speak, then why/how did he play such an intricate role in Griffiths decision to enter the ranks of God Hand? In the end, Griffith chose the line 'you were the only one that was able to make me forget my dream' as if Guts was the catalyst for Griffiths role, and in many many ways, he is. So then...where does Guts lay (or did lay, since he is now branded, completely outside the picture if you ask me...but thats just theory) in the plan of causality? Intentional casualty of war? Unintentional flaw in the system? A way 'out' for Idea?
