Ch 263

I hope Roderick does betray them so we can see Guts throw a knife at his face, then throw him overboard so the alligators can eat him.

Roderick looked like a villian from the very beginning

Er.... I still don't see why Guts should hide his identity. He's been very straightforward all his life, why should he attempt to become a "clandestine" warrior now?
In fact his time with the Raiders was the happiest of his life, why should he deny it?

Might bring some memories, since they've been all sacrificed for Griffith.

But I don't think he'll deny, he just say something like "Does it matter now? The Hawks are dead."

And about Roderick...am I the only one who thinks the guy is cool? While every other noble in the party were scaried to death, he fought with one (well, he tried) to protect Farneze. I think he likes Farneze...and that is all.

Roderick is ambiguous at best, I still think he'll turn out to be a self-centered prick, even though he shows some courage now.

Well maybe he was too cool(I mean cmon a noble romantic latino looking hotty who isnt scared of monsters and that knows how to fight) that I found that he looked uncool...

Well, when Ishidoro was saying all those stuff about the hawks and army banners and crap, Guts didn't really reveal his identity as raid leader then, so it's only a assumption he won't do it now. I don't think he wants to answer too many questions like 'why aren't you with the hawks' or 'what happened to the hawks'.

Yeah, not much of a preview, trying to think if I've seen that old guy around.

What a preview, not much to see but that makes it even harder to wait.

On the contrary, i think that it looks like a flashback on the past of one character's past. And i was thinking that Guts is about to kill more and more ... well, i might be wrong

Maybe the little witch girl is sensing something there...

It looks like a flashback.

Hope the old man is someone important and not a filler.

I think he is the Pope that they were talk about in chapter 263.

Guts was only asked in which army he was. his reply was that he forgot. it's not like anyone directly made a statement. Ishidoro wasn't talking to guts or assuming anything, he was just talking about the great raid leader. I mean guts won't tell things if it's not necessary but he won't lie either.

very small preview indeed...nothing to assume from this.

If anything negative comes of the man, I think Roderick hanging around gats (And seeing Farness pratically juice her pants over him again and agian) is going to give him a huge inferiority complex and make him prime Behilt canidate. I doubt he's a spy though. If he was a spy, the marriage would be his way into high midland society. And if that was the case, he woudlnt' go through the brother, but the father.

Post by **MrFelony** » Tue Oct 25, 2005 2:26 pm

well saying he forgot is a lie. and noodle, i was thinking he might be a spy or some form of "partner" with him. he is a captain (at least right?) in the navy so he would be the perfect guy to go to when they want infomation on when a big meeting is and then possible help on getting a one up on the harbored ships or w/e. but his play of going through the brother to get married to farnese is a lot better than the father. the father might have said no, where as the two of them, who seem to be partners, would be able to force a power play and make the father sorta accept the marriage to save face.

Post by **Loeviz** » Tue Oct 25, 2005 4:13 pm

Yeah and we still dont know who gave the Kushans the info that all the nobles would have a big meeting this night either.
My money is still on Roderick, or Farneses dumb brother. He could be so stupid that he said it when he was drunk or something.

Post by **Necromancer** » Tue Oct 25, 2005 10:39 pm

You know the Kushans have those wise guys that control the "monsters", maybe they somehow know it through them. And if there is a big noble party I think everybody would know it.

Post by **Istvan** » Tue Oct 25, 2005 10:59 pm

Right. An event that big, with that many people involved, would be almost impossible to hide, if they even tried. Remember there are a bunch of armies at the city right now, and the Kushan main army is nowhere nearby, so they probably feel pretty secure (of course, they didn't know about the beast army).

Actually, if Roderick is of high rank in the navy or something, it'll be amusing to see Guts holding Roderick hostage and people listening to his demands, heh.

Meh, seems to me you guys are reading too much into it. Roderick is just another stupid noble. *shrugs*

Post by **Libaax** » Wed Oct 26, 2005 9:29 am

Yeah you can see clearly that Rodrick is only stupid and greedy for power.

I dont know why people think a loser like that would be a spy or something.

Post by **MrFelony** » Wed Oct 26, 2005 11:39 am

well he makes the perfect lackey for ganishka to be like "i'll make you SUPER POWERFUL if you help me out!" but then ignore him while he dies after serving his purpose

Post by **Libaax** » Wed Oct 26, 2005 2:20 pm

I dont think he would risk his plans by making Rodrick work for him or maybe Roderick is just playing a fool. If he is playing,he is a very good actor.

Post by **Finito** » Wed Oct 26, 2005 2:24 pm

Well if hes a spy ill shave my beard.

That old man doesnt look like a pope but I could be wrong. We dont have enough info to know who he is if he aint the pope.

Post by **Loeviz** » Wed Oct 26, 2005 3:55 pm

If he isnt a spy I will grow a beard
