All these years, all guts had was his sword... But now that has failed him. What can he rely on now? I'm hoping Guts will show this incredible resilience that he is known for. This is the turning point.
I wish the pacing of the scenes in this chapter was slower, I understand Griffith's kidnapping of Casca happens super fast so the pacing made sense for those chapters but I was disappointed by the lack of depth in Guts' reaction.
