If that is the case, it's sort of interesting to wonder just what sort of reception Guts and Co. will recieve when it's discovered that they brought him back. After all, it's not as if his time in the human world seems to have matured him any.
I can image Puck going home with newcomers to be very much like Jar-Jar Binks when he returned to his home place underwater with the two other Jedi...but then again you can compare just about anything to Star Wars lol. Nerds always find a way.

You know, I was thinking the same thing about Puck's homecoming. The only difference is Puck is effective in his role as comedy relief while Jar-Jar is not.

Puck is also at least a little useful, which Jar-Jar certainly isn't. But your right, I always found Jar-Jar more annoying then funny. Puck is definately humorous.

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

I wonder if Guts feels comfortable being surrounded by any living thing other than apostles and monsters that he can hack at.

I don't know if "comfortable" is really a word you can apply to Guts. He doesn't seem the type to kick back and relax in any circumstance. He didn't seem uncomfortable in the city, surrounded by people. He seemed to view it as almost normal. I suspect that Guts would react to almost any environment (except battle) with equamity. I can't think of any non-combat situation that saw him truly rattled.

I remember him feeling uncomfortable at the moment the lost child at the beach climbed up his back. (ch 238, vol 28 )

Ok, but that's not quite the same. It's already been established that Gut's doesn't like people to touch him. I was talking about any sort of social situation.

Being touched by women is different than men. They're less threatening, usually. That's how it seems to me anyway.

Especially since Guts was raped by a man.

Plus it's probably easier to tolerate if he knows the person and has traveled with them for a while.

So guts can be considered a human more than ever before. I mean saying he was a fighting machine when he was young wouldn't be too wrong. Yet now there is more, something like following a goal, not just waiting for the next enemy to give him a reason to cut him down. Or is he just becoming older and wiser... :wink:

I don't think you could say more then ever before, he was at least as human during the Golden Age Arc when he was with the Band of the Hawks. Guts seems to become more what you call "human" when he has companions, it's when he's alone, or almost so (Puck apparently doesn't count) that he becomes a sort of killing machine.

This preview seems much more interesting then some (like that one with the picture of the pope). And yes, it looks like the next several chapters will be fighting and gore intensive.

I'm curious of your knowledge and experience with being touched by men.
