since Shisu was not in her right mind…who really took care of Guts as a baby?? cus that boy need to learn to talk, walk, eat…i know damn well it wasn’t shisu. i mean she probably played and talked to him but didn’t teach him to walk and all the other stuff. i think it was the handmaidens…now all i want is a chapter dedicated to them taking care of guts
I never thought about this, good question. Yeah the handmaidens or whoever they were seems like a reasonable explanation. Guts probably learned a lot through imitation too, even without direct instruction, but yeah I’d fall back on the women with Shisu probably pitching in.
And I guess we don’t really know how out of it Shisu was – could be that between finding Guts and dying 3 years later she recovered mentally. It would make more sense for her to be in a depressed dissociative state for a few days rather than totally driven insane by a miscarriage imo, though Miura is kind of weird about trauma and mental regression with his female characters.
