So this has been confusing me.
We see a demon fetus in the first couple of volumes chasing Guts around right? And you can definitely tell it's an early work, and maybe not everything has been thought of just yet.
For awhile, I thought Miura had forgotten all about the little freak (I did anyway). But he comes back when the story has caught up back to the present. What slightly bugged me is the amount of time for a "gestation" period. It sort of feels like (to me) that he just threw it in at the beginning to be weird and obscure, but then decided to give it an explanation later for continuity's sake.
When Guts returns to the Hawks and does his thing ('twas romantic by the way <3) with Casca, that is when we shall start the stopwatch. I'm not at home so I can't go look it up, but didn't they go to the tower to rescue Griffith like, within the next 1-3 days? It even showed Casca being "sore" as she mounted her horse, which is a sign (to me) that the event was still fresh.
After they rescue Griffith, they are chased by Wyald. That whole thing felt like it happened in about two days. The next part I'm not too sure how much time has passed, but it's where Casca wants to address the Hawks that are with her, but isn't sure what to say. That's the whole part with the wagons and just before Griffith loses it... uh, could that be a few days later? Or would it be considered immediately?
Another thing I want to bring up, is if anyone thinks this scene http://four.fsphost.com/toyhyena/berserkv12ch71038.jpg was supposed to be insinuating something. 'cause when I originally saw it, I just thought maybe her chest hurt (since that's where her heart is)
And then the Eclipse happens. How many days have passed when Guts and Casca recover in the cave? Guts immediately runs outside, I don't imagine too much time has passed when he turns back around in time to see Casca abort the demon embryo. Like maybe 3-7 days' worth of development tops? Should I chalk up its size to just outright demonization?
Basically I just am curious as to what anyone else thinks about the whole baby thing. I personally think Guts is very quiet and underwhelmed about it and I can't wait to see Casca's opinion once she's not a vegetable.
