Gambino and griffith both lose their women (his wife and his casca) to Guts. both have names that start with G(well so does guts
). both take in guts and shortly after, he is the cause for them losing their women. guts kills gambino and metaphorically kills griffith. guts flees from both after doing so and strived to gain acceptance from both griffith and gambino. both were great warriors and leaders (proportional to guts' strengths i guess). Guts and the hound have their servitude in common with their masters. a dog is man's best friend, but the fact that he is a dog will always separate them, just as Griffith status and beliefs separated him from Guts. too lazy to actually further this (and i have to go). my english teacher probably woudla eaten this up.

Ready or not, here's something I want to know your ideas about!
, so I'll skip it)) I would consider a rapist. Besides, he does have a granddaughter, so he ust have been a family man. But...what the heck, it's possible 
. but from what i remember he might have come close to despising the sword for what it is, the Hydrogen bomb of swords. If he was afraid (or didnt want) to tell guts about the sword, then why would he continue to let the kingdom use it. so after threatening to hang him, Godo had little choice but to let them use it.
. i like your making us try to work for it since either wise ideas would stagnate 
Aha...
...mmature person). And would also add: "By the way I live here in the middle of nowhere becouse I'm a smelly old annoying bag of bones."
, but the posts I have seen here did give my fantasy a kick. Well, here goes nothing, here's what I have got:
Godo is a whiz, when it comes to weaponry. I assume, that what he had in store was built during his exile <-- he claims he could barely escape, so I doubt he took the time to rescue his stock. I'll return to this point later (but still can't help wondering what happened to his relatives). He invented all that stuff, becouse it was what he was used to, his life. 
Sounds trivial, but since he was escaping from death, it must have been of great value to him, OR he DID use it to sweep aside anyone in his path.
Maybe the king was scared like shit (--> stress, paranoia), becouse some monster was terrorising the kingdom. Or apart from it all, he simply could have gone mad.
