Yeah I thought of the same two instances, but i didnt think that him seeing them as companions meant that he saw them as family. Also, with that bar scene, I thought he said something along the lines of 'thats our girl' but i dont remember, owell
I know that Guts viewed the Band of the Falcon as family but I dont really know what he considers his new group as. Obviously they've been through quite alot together but I dont really get the same family vibe, more like a guardian or something. What do you guys think?
