Wow.. Kaminari.. that's some awesome writing there. You've almost got me converted into a fangirl myself. Mwaha.. ahem.
Judeau does all the work. I'm just meant to fan the flames of recognition & appreciation, so that they don't burn out ;)
But yeah.. the thing I loved most about Judeau was how he sacrificed for Caska and Guts. Shows how true and sincere his love was for the both of them. And that just made the way he died so much more painful to watch. That one moment where he shielded Caska with his body, coughing out blood as the demons kept thrashing on his back.. just imagine staring into his eyes right then..
The fact that he still managed to summon the remainder of his strength to pass off a smile, so that she wouldn't be as upset & he wouldn't see tears in her eyes as his last sight, is a total testament to what a considerate guy he was *sobs*...& ultimately, the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of another, was a fitting last scene for him.
...Still! It sucks that it had to happen at all! *Weeps*
