Re: Why does Zodd help Gatts?
I have a theory on this. I don't know if anyone's suggested something similar before, but here goes. For one thing, we know Guts' mother was dead when she gave birth to him, but we know nothing of his father. I think that Zodd is Guts' father. There are things that point to it a bit. For one thing, it would explain why Guts has the superhuman abilities that he does. It's been stated more than once that Guts is unnaturally strong and fast and tough. For another, they kind of look alike. I mean, Guts certainly looks more human than Zodd, but they have similar haircuts and builds. Finally, Zodd goes out of his way to help Guts in ways that even a demon who respects fighting prowess probably wouldn't. I mean, he was willing to stand up to Griffith and the God Hand for awhile. I suppose I could be wrong, but Zodd and Guts being related would tie a lot of loose ends of the story together.
