Okay my head is constantly twirling around with ideas related to Berserk. They fly around all jumbled up and lost and usually find no fruition, and when they do, often they fail.
So, I decided I'd go ahead and ask about what some of you thought about one of the really really simple ones that's been particularly bugging me. Also note that I asked another Berserk fan what they thought and they kinda went ahead and pushed my motivation forward to posting it here.
Anyway, and I did a search and am almost positive no one as has ever asked this before, at least not here. Miura seems to have some direction when it comes to names. When I say that I mean I don't think he just randomly chooses them because they sound cool or are the names of his cats and dogs. He seems to have usually some tie with the name and the character/place/object he creates. Guts is a great example.
That said, what about Skull Knight? I realize and agree that all signs point to him most likely being King Gaesiric, but what if he wasn't? And what if our first clue was right in front of us? What if he was a Knight of some sort? I know anything is possible but it really gets a certain gear in my head turning that just won't fucking stop (probably the meds I'm on - prescribed btw), so let's hear your thoughts.... even if it's, "You're stupid.", I won't entirely disagree. For one, there's the big encounter with Slan, where she refers to him as "Your Majesty", or, "Your Highness" or something or other.... so that's a hole in my theory right there. I would also like to point out he pretty much just called her a prostitute, so it may have been reciprocated sarcasm.
