I was surprised when Miura said that someone told him that a knight named Goetz existed and that he had an iron arm too, and all the more surprised when he said that he started Berserk before knowing it.
I did a quick search on the internet and i found this :
Goetz (or Götz) von Berlichingen was a German knight who lost his right hand in 1504 in the Landshut battle and after that he was given an iron arm.

I think there are some similarities between this arm and Guts' one for the hand part, even if the arm part is totally different.
I didn't find any picture of Goetz (to check if he had his 2 eyes :))
Miura may have heard of that when he was young and now he doesn't remember, thus giving us some explanation of these similarities.
Or is it only a big coincidence (Guts/Goetz , iron arm,...)?
So what do you think about that ? :) :)
