ASSUMING the mystery child IS Griffith

Of course, none of us can 100% prove who or what the mystery child is... His appearance is an obvious cross between Guts and Casca. As in, their kid. We know that the demon child merged with Griffith's vessel (the behelit apostle).

LET'S JUST ASSUME for a moment that the mystery child IS Griffith.

What if?

If Griffith was flown in by Zodd to take form as the mystery child, what motives would he have? If Griffith claims that Guts is "beneath his notice," "an insignificant squirming sacrifice," and that he is free from his attachment to Guts, what purpose would observing him and his group serve?

Is it simply the Demon Child within Griffith longing for his parents (as Skull Knight said he would)? Is it Griffith's own will to see how much Guts has progressed? Is it just to check out the armor and see Guts in action?

What of the connection between the mystery child and the child made of light that appeared before Guts while he was fighting those "alligator monsters" telling him to STOP before he killed his friends? If that was indeed the mystery child who was indeed Griffith, then why?

A lot of questions, but what do you guys think?

The name is the moonlight boy, from the episode he appeared in, not the "mystery child".

Clearly the boy wasn't "observing" anything. It wasn't a reconnaissance operation.

That would be the most plausible explanation.

It's obviously the boy.
