Holy shit, Skeleton Knight just jumped to one of my favorite characters. That was bad ass. When I saw he had not just Guts but Casca with him aswell, I felt a smidgeon of happiness for the first time in a few chapters.
Griffith looked at Guts and reached for him, but didn't seem to do anything. Maybe it would have been futile, or maybe he consciously let him go. Interesting.
Seeing Rickert outside again was nice. He's been through a lot of shit. I expect some serious character development, if he lives long enough. Seeing him tremble before the supernatural crap he was witnessing was funny. Skeletonbro lifting him up onto his ride was cool, as well.
Zodd remains as mysterious as ever...although a couple of chapters ago he did say his goal was to meet strong people.
Now that Guts and Casca seem to be relatively safe, my worry for Casca's mental state has surfaced again.
