Draulix said:If you ask me, no doubt his armor would help him survive longer during an eclipse.
The thread refers to the Occultation ceremony during which he was branded specifically, and he's not likely to ever be in another one anyway. I think it's granted that the armor would help him last longer, but the problem is actual complete survival, going by DemiAngel's postulate.
Draulix said:As to doing damage if any to the god hands, I think it is possible because we did get a hint as to his Dragon Slayer is now infused with some mysterious powers from slaying so many apostles thus far.
Yeah, I think everyone knows this. It was demonstrated when Guts managed to repulse Slan out of the Qliphoth, and later on when he injured Ganishka and dispelled his giant mist form.
Draulix said:Think back when the little witch was handing out magical weapons and armors to Serpico and the rest. When she tried to give him an axe, he replied he didn't need any and he only needed his sword which had some black mist flowing along side it. That maybe the key to striking and injuring god hands if the occasion ever comes?
To be exact, he said he needed to fight with something he was familiar with, and only Schierke could see the sword's dark aura. Guts learned about it in the Qliphoth. Anyway, all of this is nice, but it doesn't mean that Guts could defeat the whole God Hand together or even one of its members at this point. We don't know if the DS has that potency yet, and he would need to be able to strike them first while evading or sustaining damage from their incredible powers.
