I don't know if the the scans I read were incomplete (they weren't from this site) or if it just went over my head, but I saw in the faq section something about Guts and Casca having a child and that the child was tainted due to Casca being raped by Femto? I don't remember reading that it said that she was even pregnant. Could someone tell me what chapter this was in? Thanks. By the way, this is a really cool website.
Hello and welcome to the forum.
I hope someone else can give you the exact chapter and volume as I'm at work and can't research it properly.
There where a couple chapters dedicated to the 'twisted' fetus that came out of Casca and if I remember correctly, disappeared, (faded out) of existence. The physical vessel that is represented by the fetus was used by Femto to come into the world as post-Femto Griffith. What was left, be it spirit or whatever of the baby between Guts and Caska was taken in by the Egg Apostle before it died. That is the last we hear of it till much later when Guts and Crew are on the beach and see a child. Guts and Caska both act... oddly (like that did around the fetus).
Interesting note: In the city right before the attack by the Kushans, there is a spirit of sorts that Guts sees. Not sure if it is the child or not, but the child shows up again in the city.
So, it is not know if 'The Child' is astral being with no real corporal form, or something else entirely. We can only speculate that it appears and disappears, but shows up now and then around Guts and Caska.
Vote on if this should be a new thread or not, I can't remember if we discussed this at length or not.
