There's also that. Anyways someone will surely explain this way better than this.Ramen4ever said:...Griffith may appear to be a human but his abilities so far indicate that he is not "human" he is still a member of the GH. Can a member of the GH be sacrificed?
Griffith said:Who knows? Obviously one's first inclination is no, but even if it were technically possible, it's probably not going to happen.
I'm more interesting in the peripheral issues surrounding this idea though, such as the implications of a sacrifice trying to make a sacrifice, and whether or not Griffith would qualify as being something so dear to him in a twisted way.
Ramen4ever said:I don't know if it would be right to mix the God Hand or apostles in general into the mix. Considering that Slan tried to tempt and entice Guts by asking him if he wanted to make a sacrifice like Griffith and her comment about how interesting it would be if Guts joined them. I would say that a sacrifice making a sacrifice is actually plausible.
Ramen4ever said:Miura developing the Beast of Darkness within Guts, establishes a kind of worry or fear in the reader. That maybe Guts will one day use the Beherit.
Ramen4ever said:Would Miura allow Guts to truly become a monster? Probably not but it's still a great plot device and Miura uses it to great effect. I guess what I'm saying is that Miura hints at the possibility. It most likely won't happen. But it's still there and that's what's interesting.
Ramen4ever said:As for Griffith, I don't think he qualifies as a sacrifice for Guts. Or as a sacrifice in general. An eclipse ceremony only happens once every 216 years and it probably requires a lot of manipulation from the Idea of Evil for each potential member. Centuries of manipulation actually, to establish a GH member just so that member can be sacrificed in order to create a new apostle? To me that sounds on par with sacrificing your Queen in chess just to save your peon.
Deci said:Not that it would ever happen, of that it's even possible, but I think if there's a hint toward Guts "sacrificing" anyone, it's Casca.
