consider: guts, a teenager (? how old was he at this point in canon? young anyway) just killed a man in cold blood and accidentally killed a child (not a thing he does in either case, at this point) for griffith, then is wounded and hits his head
… this is somehow the first time I noticed he hits his head that hard and probably has a concussion at this point…
has just hallucinated his childhood traumas with himself in a villain roll, staggers in and asks immediately for griffith
at this point he must be delirious to some extent and he’s just focussed on finding griffith to report, but I think also for comfort? to be told he did the right thing, he did well, it’s all okay
(and what happens is he overhears that stupid conversation while still fucking concussed and oh my god berserk is PAIN)
yeah this was one of the worst sequences in the entire manga lol at the end all this he was just so needy and just wanted to talk to griffith so bad. like the first thing he did was he went looking for him and he completely ignored casca when she started asking him questions
and then he sees finds griffith but he’s with charlotte and guts fucking. makes this expression
and just proceeds up the stairs. when casca stops him he flinches and again look at his face
then griffith delivers his speech and:
like. highkey fucking hate this chapter and my only consolation is that griffith knows this is where he hurt guts because:
would griffith actually know what they were talking about, though? his reaction suggests something like that, but it could also suggest him thinking something else was happening between guts and casca that night, or that guts had told casca what he’d done for griffith? then again I haven’t gotten to this chapter in the manga yet ha
but holy shit yes this is one of the most painful things in the manga and the way guts has this semi-concussed expression the whole time jada’dad’adjlk’’ ow
oh! sorry for the spoilers then fdkjsdf
but, after that casca says
so i think if griffith remembers his own speech he should know what they’re talking about, though it is possible that he doesn’t
you're the only one
