Reading through the forum kinda made me think... during that popular meeting between Slan & Guts, Slan offered him the chance to sacrifice something, which of course is unheard of (at least based on all the information present in the manga so far) since Guts is branded.
Do you guys think she was merely teasing him or do you think she was serious and there is a chance that he will actually go ahead with it? It's not going to happen anytime soon mind you, but think about it. What if Guts, after a long and tough road (say 10 years from where we are now in terms of Volumes) realizes that his battle against the God Hands is futile (even if he sends Griffith back to the Nexus, wouldn't he still be the God Hand Femto again or is he already split between two different worlds?) and decides to take Slan up on her offer and sacrifices something (the difficult part is figuring out what exactly would he sacrifice, but perhaps with Skull Knight's approval, they might concoct a plan together to bring the GH down by sacrificing SK who would become sufficiently important to Guts by that time to be considered a "precious sacrifice"). Thereafter, Guts becomes one of the members of the GH and somehow manages to bring them down and then replace (or destroy?) the Idea of Evil with the Idea of Good (SK would help him out since it doesn't matter to him whether he is branded or not - he can strill travel any dimensional or wordly interstice). Now I know it's all far-fetched, but I still like the possibility, even though I'd want evil to triumph in the end personally (the current GH are awesome).
1st time this possibility occured to me was when, on the Count's evocation of the GH, Slan mentioned that Guts would be an ideally-suited addition to them, 2nd time when, on the lam from the knights of the inquisition, his doggish shape of hate/sorrow/battle carried some sort of Beherit in it's mouth and 3rd time of course during the aforementioned tryst with Slan on Qliphoth. My only real concrete question that is an addition to what I said above is what kind of Beherit were that monster and Slan thinking of if push came to shove? If it's the regular type that offers a transformation to an Apostle, then that would contradict them both since his monstrous manifestation wants Guts to act on his instincts and that would mean killing the GH first and foremost and Slan wants him to be on her team which would necessitate him to have the Egg-Behelit. So does that perhaps leave some other methods of becoming a GH, perhaps with Ganishka's help?
Thx for reading this guys. I'm Dima by the way and Berserk is my favourite manga of all time! :)
