Evil Genius

i have been rereading the series again.
does anyone feel that guts has completely shed his "If your always worried about crushing the ants beneath you; you won't be able to walk." attitude?

when he first met puck, he was this arrogant and rebellious person. his philosophy was that the weak should die and the strong dominate. he didnt care for other people at all. the weak deserved to be plagued by evil because they cannot help themselves.

compared to the guts now, he has changed a lot. its hard to pinpoint but i think his friendship with the original band of hawks changed his character a lot.

I'd agree he's changed a lot, but if you're talking about the changes since he met Puck, it isn't the Band of the Hawk that changed him, it's his new companions and (especially) working to protect Caska. After all, when he met Puck the Band was already dead (their death at Griffith's order is a large part of why he was that way in the first place).

hmm you are right!
i got my chronology wrong... guts was arrogant and selfish after the band of hawks were all killed.
but before that he was quite the good and responsible guy.
i guess their death made him cynical. and his journey with his new party changed him to a good guy again.

yup

Probably quite a bit of it was his way of walling off his pain.

There was no preview pic on the YA site, however I snipped this for you all. Enjoy, as this means we have the raw.

Hoo seems like trouble ! Gatts going to be sucked in that water summon or he's going to fall in the sea. In any case, can't wait to see how he's going to deal with that.

i love it how with each chapter the armour is constantly reshaping itself!
=)

That pic up there is neat because it is in that frame that Guts lets rip some of his classic one-liners. Good stuff.

Oh and with any luck, the chapter might be ready for release really soon.

I give the most credit of changing Guts to Puck,cause it was he who had to work hard to change his dark heart. When he met the rest of current crew he was already soft compared to his old dark,cynical self cause he had been with Puck a time before them.

Keep up the good work.

Its going to be interesting to see how Guts fights the water snake thing. From the little preview it looks like the fight isn't going to go so easy for Guts.

Especially since I can't see how even someone as strong as Guts is with the armor activated could swim while wearing full armor and carrying the Dragonslayer. That'll be a real problem for him if (as it looks like) he falls in the water.

Don't worry by the next page he is out of the water, it's not that big of a deal really.

SPOILER! lol

+1

wait a tick....didn't he swim in full armor with raider sword and Caska before? he said he wouldn't want to do it again but hell in this armor he's better. it shouldn't phase him...but then again he is getting a little soft and he also has a hole in his chest.

I think that armor may have been lighter than his current one. It certainly could have been discarded if he needed, whereas I doubt he wants to lose any pieces of this one.

lol please Guts couldn't possible swim with the DS or his amour but there is a loophole to solve that problem. Really guys there is a lot more interesting stuff going on in this one I wouldn't get hung up on Guts swimming(as he doesn't).

Come on, the sword alone has to weight 300 lbs. I can swim with things that heavy any day of the week.

On a more serious note, I'm going to say it has something to do with magic either the witches or Serpico's winds.

No you forget the amazing power of jumping! dun don darrr
