I thought to myself, what would happen if there was only 1 or 2 apostles present at the time of the ceremony, could a group like the band of the Hawk escape, or even win? Maybe not win but what about if the sacrifice was not an ordinary person, but someone like a Flora / Guts in armor, or even ?
During the ceremony, do God Hand members do anything besides watch it all take place or put brands on people? I'm quickly browsing the volumes and I don't think I have seen anyone killed by a God Hand member, though Casca had well, you know.
Maybe the first few ceremonies failed, thoughts?
An idea I had when trying to link things around were that people were able to escape the first ceremonies, and maybe it followed a similar order.
-First few apostles chose something they couldn't kill, like a small army or person with great power.
->The sacrifice(s) escape - team up- share info , maybe attempt to take them down years later whilst dropping in on ceremonies in attempt to rescue more like them. I mean its plausible that Magic users and such know about ceremonies and God Hand because a survivor told them right?
->When apostle numbers reach a big enough amount, the success rate of sacrifices go way up. Then the rescue efforts were abandoned and no one wanted to do it anymore or they died trying to do so previously except one, Who he rescues and why I don't know.
