I wanted to turn a spotlight onto character introductions, particularly their intro scenes. Muira has made many great first impressions of his characters. I want to know whom is your favorite. Be it Guts slamming a canon down a apostles throat? Perhaps the bizarre manifestation of the God Hand in general? Maybe the strange egg apostle?
Personally, the first time I was overwhelmed by a introduction (when first picking up the manga finally) was when the apostles came to bid loyalty to Griffith and join the new Band of the Hawk. In that one scene my heart somewhat dropped as to me it signified great odds to a already daunting journey. Being Gut's path of revenge back to Griffith. It took a lot of hatred to survive the eclipse and drive Guts to fight day and night. There for a moment I thought Guts was getting the hang of battling such odds. Throwing these new apostle hawk warriors in there, was like getting to the peak of the mountain and seeing the vast mountain range yet to come. However, these days I think Guts will likely hold up pretty well. I hope his companions master themselves and Guts indirectly ends up with a very effective group of friends against these great odds in the long run. Seems its slowly becoming that way for sure.
