Griffith <3. Absolute hero destroying those giants, protecting his kingdom! Who would have thought that he was actually quite humane
I've mentioned this before, but I still have my doubts that Griffith is "protecting" anything. From the translation I read, it sounds like this was more of an invasion and conquest on the Band's part (the bearded soldier says something about "expanding their territory," and while they're traveling the world tree someone says that they "subjugated the giants"). Griffith basically murdered an entire army in this chapter that we, the readers, know nothing about, except that they died defending their land. He didn't even give them a chance to surrender.
Yeah I was being sarcrastic about Griffith. We know he holds no attachments, especially as an incarnated form of femto, and that everyone and everything is a means to his end, whatever that may be.

Next episode, Casca finally?
God damn, I hope so. Probably not though, I feel like there is still more with Griffith, or maybe even something with Rickert.

Apologies for the misunderstanding, I didn't realize you were being sarcastic. I've seen quite a few "Griffith did no wrong" comments, so I assumed you were one of them.

You say that, but it's such a tired cliche in the japanese media that i can't distinguish between Griffith and any other "perfect" biseinen you see in anime.
I think the important distinction is that we, the audience, know that Griffith isn't really perfect. We know all the terrible things he did to become "perfect," and it's not pretty. Sooner or later, the facade will crack, and his loyal followers will either see him for what he really is or get thrown under the bus just like his last band of loyal followers were.
I don't really see his demonic companions throwing him under the bus though. They'd likely be stoked with him being femto. The others... Well, their city is full of nasty demons yet they don't seem to care. I'm not really sure whats going on to be honest.
So you think that he'll continue to be perfect until something happens and it'll get a terrible and climactic end to how he's being perceived?
I personally think he'll be like he is until he faces off with Guts and they both die in the fight. The end.
You heard it here first! :D

Other Hand...This is F*king Femto we are Talking about...Member of the freaking God Hand... I am quite willing to believe My brother's theory that they are just fat-ting up this Kingdom with People...and in the end....Griffith does the Second Band of the Hawk Eclipse....this time he just Sacrifices Entire Kingdom to Behelith and the so called God that God Hand Serve...50% sure that When Guts returns and they fight...Griffith makes that choice.....and the other point why I have mixed feelings...
Guts is Seriously going to Need a FREAKING ARMY to even get close to Kill Griffith...unless he is going to be Suicidal bastard...welll he might have those Bakiraka and Rickect in his side before it happens...
