Look at the pretty flower...
A few things, first Hi everyone, I'm a lurker and I've finally decide to come out publically with it. *snif* *snif*. There's been so many great discussions, but I didn't have much to say in the past, but today I thought I should throw in my 2 cents.
Just something to remember about this arc is that the whole journey wasn't to find Flora, but to actually get to elfhome and protect/cure Caska, so even if Flora is dead, perhaps Gattsu might get cured once he gets to Elfhome (they might decide to just bury him under pixie dust and wait till he's strong enough to dig himself out of it). In the mean time, perhaps the armor will have a soothing effect on the wound forcing Gattsu to wear it until he can be healed.
As for the burning house at the end of the chapter, I personally see it as a sign that Flora is dead. I don't think she died at the hands of the apostles, but instead she either died by summoning a powerful fire elemental to kill them all as they were invading the house or that once she died, the magic inside her house started to unravel and the place started to burn up with its master.
I think (and hope) we'd see the final fight between Zodd and Skullknight. If Flora killed herself in a blaze of glory, then I'm betting that it broke up the fight between the two. If not, Gattsu and co. will arrive on the scene and see them fight (and probably see Skullknight fall if this is to be the final fight between the two. Zodd will probably be defeated by Gattsu in the end unless it involves a huge open war between Gattsu's forces and Griffith's in which case we'd probably see different people taking on different villians)
Last but not least, I'd also like to say Thanks SaiyajinNoOuji for the scans. It nice to see what's happening and gives us something to speculate about :)
