This chapter was like a Russian nesting egg. Miura style! I think he’s telling us a lot here. First and foremost is there is now a clear path to success laid out for Guts. He has hope in a sense, but it will ABSOLUTELY destroy him. The Skull Knight, I believe, killed all those previous God Hand members. This shows that it is possible for an armor bearer to do such a thing. Guts may potentially have the power to kill Femto. Potentially...On the other hand we see that this probably won’t happen or end well, or in an obvious way. TSK already tried to kill Femto and didn’t really come close. Void obviously survived TSK’s attack on TGH beta edition. Void and Femto are on similar god power levels and have similar time warping powers which are obviously very hard to counter with steel and rage alone. Berserk is not a redemption story IMO. It’s a story about trying. Trying to achieve what you believe in. Try until you die, and then claw your way back from the great beyond. Reinvent yourself and try again. One thing I have not heard discussed is what exactly is TSK now? He wore the armor, past tense, but at some point he took it off and died. So how did he make his Femto like transformation into his current skull state? I doubt he was ever a God hand himself, but...maybe. Maybe thats what we’re missing. He sacrificed his wife to become a Godhand. Maybe after achieving his demonic climax he had a ptsd rage out and killed his new homies? And maybe, this is telling us that Griffith may have something up his sleeve that none of us is expecting. A second GH betrayal? Who knows. Thanks for your service Mr.Miura
