Which Hawk do you miss the most?

Post by dos.azn »

which hawk do you miss the most? most prolly there will be a ton voting for judeau, but i pick the raiders, especially gaston. they believed in gutts so much. they worshipped him for his incredible sword skills and were even planning to leave the hawks to follow gutts. i think it was guys like them that mostly made gutts feel like he had a home here in the hawks

No contest, it's Judeau all the way. I don't even need to explain my decision, we all know how awesome he was.

Pippin was a far better character IMO. Seriously they should have built up his story more though. His death in the eclipse was sadder for me. He took on that apostle head to head to let Casca escape.

So did Judeau. :wink:

Pippin would've been my second choice but, like you said, it's hard to like him as much because Judeau was more fleshed out.

Its just if there was a choice to save one member of the hawks while having to let the other die (say it was Casca and Corkus). Judeau would strike me as the type of person to choose Casca over anyone else. But to me Pippin seems like the guy who would jump in the way and maybe sacrifice himself to save both.

Judeau all the way. :thumb: I never liked Corkus. Kinda sad to see the way he died though.

I don't know if anybody has thought about this, but each one of the main members of the Hawks got a fitting death.

Pippin, the noble brute, died fighting head-on with Apostles to defend his comrades; Judeau, the good-hearted guy, died defending the person he loved and Corkus, the selfish loser, had what was probably the worst death of the three. Gaston died in Guts' hands too, and Guts was his hero. It's interesting to say the least.

One Word: Judeau
Since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved.

Maybe Casca's past self.

Yeah, we have Casca now. But it's most like a piece of brown meat that eats everything.

I would vote for her, but as It's not correctly defined. I will give my vote for Judeau too. I will ever remember his lasts words.

I voted for Judeau, too. Can't give good reasons, he's just the choice.
But I don't think Corkus was this cold hearted at all, he was just a little bit hrm let's say loneley.
Judeau once told Guts that Corkus was a leader of bandits before he joined the band of the hawk and he was in some way happy and proud.

Yeah, Corcus wasn't such a bad guy. he was just jealous of guts. He would have wanted to do better but couldn't so he was searching for attention.

Judeau. Partially because he was probably the most fleshed-out of the Hawks, but also because Miura spent more time on his death in the Eclipse than the others'. I think the amount of "death-pages" is relative to the amount of personality in a character. Pippin, for example, was torn in two over a couple of pages. I do believe Corkus' death was quite short too, but...

It doesn't matter that pippin didn't have any character development. He had a GIANT HAMMER. Thats all you need really.
