Honestly, I've been saying for a long time that if anyone deserves the killing blow on Griffith, it's Casca. Unfortunately, Griffith sharing a body with Casca and Guts son complicates matters greatly

I never picked that up with the fetus. But man, that makes some dark sense.

A bit, yeah. They like black swordsman era Guts, when not even Guts liked being black swordsman era Guts.

I thought that the golden age arc did a good job of showing that Guts, despite his hardships, is actually a very caring and compassionate person and that the rest of the story is supposed to be him regaining that sense of humanity that was taken from him. I guess the point didn't land for a lot of people.

I didn't get it either until I started buying the deluxe manga editions and did another read through. Having mostly remembered how much of an almlst uncaring monster killer he was, I almost forgot how caring he could be during the Golden Age arc. His interactions with Casca after The Advent were proof of some vestiges of said humanity, but I never really picked up on his regaining it until like, the VERY recent chapters.

I totally missed Casca getting kidnapped, though. What a bummer. I was hoping that they would keep her away from any further damsel in distress storylines.
Goddammit.
