I don’t think it’s his swing so much. He’s got complete control over that. It’s not like he’s going to accidentally cut one of his companions in half. It’s the fact that he has to keep an eye on them to make sure they’re not being attacked. It limits his versatility.

I think Gatts does want to have Casca healed, if it’s possible. If not, he probably plans to leave her in Elfheim until he can take Griffith down. He has indeed chosen Casca over his revenge. However, like Libaax said, they’ll never be able to live normal lives if he doesn’t kill Griffith.

Yeah I know he has complete control over his swing but people being near him limits the directions he can swing. The size of the sword makes it where basically anyone within about 7 feet is something he needs to avoid. So if someone is near him he needs ot keep an eye on where there going to be so his sword is not there. I mean he has perfect control, but to everything there is a limit, he coudl not cut an troll in half and then stop instantly if someone was standing next to the troll. There are limits to what you can do with a sword of that size no matter how strong or skilled you are. You can't sing at someone 3 feet away if in the same direction there is someone 4 feet away that is an ally. Just means he needs to watch out more I guess.

Well...recall in earlier chapters that Guts was chopping up the 'burning children', and Jill was about to be sliced in half by Guts. He stopped it just in time then, so I think he's beyond the limits. Guts is a thinker as well, and by now I'm sure his party knows his fighting style and are wise enough to not be near him to close in a battle.

Well, yes, he does need to be a bit more careful. However, normally he doesn’t stand within range of them. Also, he can stop on a dime. He can cut through a monster, and then stop immediately after that, if say a companion is on the other side. I’ve seen him do it. Remember when he cut that horses head off, when it was trying to rape Farnese. He stopped mere inches from her throat, because he’s badass like that. I get what you’re saying though.

Post by **Arresty** » Mon Feb 14, 2005 9:55 am

Well with the exception of Casca, but she is scared of him so thats not a problem either. Yeah and he did stop it there. But still limiting in ways. When he takes on all the trolls by himself after rescuing Casca and Farnese he does say "It's been awhile, this sensation, swiming my sowrd wiht abandon, restricted by nothing, not worrying about who is behind you. The savagery within me released." So even there he is mentioning that he is restricted by protecting Casca. Though she is not right on his back anymore, so he not as restricted as he was when travelling alone with her. But he is generally much more free in combat now than he was then. So it is much more like that. So I guess now he just mainly needs to keep an eye to see if they are out of danger from other beasts.

Guess you can mostly ignore this post now. Read Starnum's after.

Yes, indeed. Point made, let's move on.

The bombs that he got from Rickert save his life many times from battle. Also recieving the cannon for his arm. Those are his treasures/assets.

You know what I haven't seen in a while that I always liked. The repeater crossbow. That thing was nice. Useful at the beginning of combat. But not a great asset.

Someone previously mention in this thread about splitting a behit - maybe the Dragon Slayer will change like SK's sword did... but then again I hope not. Anyways, his greatest asset is his determination/will. The guy just gets back up no matter the opposition and how many times he was beat to the ground.

Post by **Starnum** » Sun Feb 20, 2005 1:17 pm

Yeah, his determination is indeed a great asset he has. As for Gatts’ sword changing like SK’s, I don’t really see that happening. SK had eaten a bunch of behelits and caused some kind of magical fusion inside him to cause that change. Gatts only has one behelit. Then again, who knows?

It wont happen, nobody can fit the dragon slayer in their mouth.

Post by **Eldo** » Sun Feb 20, 2005 8:31 pm

Yep, I remember Morgus trying to do that and DIED.

Guts' greatest asset?

t3h Dragonslayer, of course.

Post by **Arresty** » Mon Feb 21, 2005 2:36 am

I am going with NINJ4 on this one. I believe it will be his will and determination. His drive to succeed is very strong. I think possibly stronger than Griffith's. Cause even griffith second guessed his dream on a few occasions, especially when he was down, but Guts does not second guess his at all. He looses an arm and an eye and soon as he can get back up he is going after his dream again.

YEP - even if he were somehow to lose the DragonSlayer, it wouldn't stop him from splitting Femto's body in two with his bare hands by a process that involves gripping the upper and lower part of Femto's mouth and the motion of bringing the hands far apart as possible.

Post by **Gaiseric** » Mon Feb 21, 2005 10:56 am

Correction; hand. Singular.

Not likely. Not as of yet anyway. So far Gatts hasn't even managed to lay a finger on Femto. I mean, he can barely even approach the guy. Man, that puts you down by two Ninj4. You're going to have to step it up.

Post by **Libaax** » Tue Feb 22, 2005 3:14 am

Well eventually Guts will have to get stronger enough to tuch Femto without bleeding to death.

Post by **Starnum** » Tue Feb 22, 2005 3:17 am

Yes eventually. That's why I said "as of yet".

Post by **Libaax** » Tue Feb 22, 2005 3:23 am

Obs didnt see that... thats my fault for reading this topic this late when im 90% at sleep:P

Post by **Arresty** » Tue Feb 22, 2005 5:11 am

I think he could approach him now without to much of a problem. He was able to stab Slan. I think that is a step in the right direction. I don't think he has a chance in hell of killing Femto though. Atleast not yet, even wiht the berserker armor. I believe Miura is still to introduce us to more that will help Guts on his way to victory.

Post by **Femto** » Tue Feb 22, 2005 6:40 am

Well, I think that the reason why he was able to impale Slan was because she was in the physical world. I think I read somewhere that the Godhand's powers are decreased when in the physical world. That may be how he will approach Griffith/Femto without a problem now that both are in the same realm.

Killing him is another matter entirely, though...

Post by **Arresty** » Tue Feb 22, 2005 6:42 am

Were they not in Quiloth(sp?) when he impaled her, which is in the spirit world?
