| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Great character development in this episode. It came as no surprise that griffith was gay, but it was disgusting, i dont mind him being gay, but a manwhore is just not acceptable and a suicidal one too. lol. caska looked better younger long hair, I think she wouldave been ownage with long hair now she'd probably look like someone outta claymore. |

That was weird. Giffith been abuse. Wow shocking |
| Griffith is not gay, he was just willing to do anything to achieve his dream and protect his men. It may have been shameful what he did but I for one respect it. |
| you respect a guy for letting another guy enter him from behind? this applies to both men and women but selling your body to get what you want is in no way worthy of respect in my opinion. |
| His sacrifice of himself for something more important is a brave move. Those were the times. And in his condition, when his dream is all he has in front of his eyes, using this old man is a minor thing. What else would you suggest? |
| I didn't realize what had happened until I rewinded it. @ LiarK: He's getting porked for his dream. I really don't find any pride or braveness in that. |
| He's not proud of it and he admits that, but that's what he found the best for him to do in order to advance with his achievements. Maybe it does lack bravery, but still, to endure such deeds you have to be strong and determined. That's all. |
| i dont know about respect or whatever, but im sure it was very hard for him to do that... |
| "Would you have sex with a stranger for a million dollars?" I think a lot of people would say yes to that. At least when I take a detached view of the situation, I don't think Griffith did anything particularly outlandish, considering what he got out of the deal. It was a logical and straightforward method of getting the money he needed to fund his mercenary band. What is his pride, or whatever sense of revulsion he may have had, next to that? |
| Fuck Griffith, I loved the Caska x Gatsu scenes. |
| I understand Griffith , but seriously , i didn't care about him in this episode. He was weird from the beginning. I was more interested in Casca. |
| Griffith is crazy boy died |

| So..that explains our pretty boy's pedo feeling towards anoying princess girl.. Sent with Mal Updater |
| It really didn't come as a surprise to me for what he did in order to get money to help pay for costs of the entire band of the hawk. I really wasn't a huge fan of Griffith from the very first episode, somehow I could tell even then we was pure evil and would only use people. It was a nice flashback of Caska and Guts. It made me understand more about Caska and why she is such a true follower of Grifith. Its too bad that she cut her hair though, for I think she looked a lot better with longer hair. LoL |
| Hmm, this show went further then I was expecting. Now that I think I see where it's heading, I hope it keeps going in this direction. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| I don't know how someone can sell their own body to get it their way. u_u |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Wow just wow |
| Finally Casca and Guts get to have a little chat. And Griffith...wow! |

| Such an emotionally packed episode. Grifith and Caskas pasts. Grifith proving that he will do anything to obtain his dreams and to allow the dreams of those under him to come to pass as well. By having sex Grifith stopped the death of his soldiers. High five mate. |
| Very emotion filled episode. We learned a lot about Casca and Griffiths past.. Pretty interesting stuff. RenaPsychoKiller said: Fuck Griffith, I loved the Caska x Gatsu scenes. This |
| lol. Damn intense. I'm not as strong as Griffith. What a strong and determine guy...but he's also a bit crazy which isn't good, scratching his arms like that. This show is deeper than I expected. I thought it would just be brutal, but I'm glad it can get me thinking. |
| Man. I wasn't expecting that. So many emotions... AHH! I'm glad I was home alone, because I just kept repeating "ohmygod ohmygod" and freakin out. I really love this show so far, the character development is perfection. |
| And at midpoint, this series is reaching a whole other level of depth and drama. This was indeed great development, I love it when stories aren't afraid to show what people are capable of doing, and Berserk shows it realistically despite all the fantasy medieval setting. |

I really wasn't a huge fan of Griffith from the very first episode, somehow I could tell even then he was pure evil and would only use people. I'm not sure if you can call abandoning his pride and sleeping with a man in order to lower the amount of casualties "pure evil". |
| Wow this was some episode alright, nice background of Casca and Griffith. |
| Dat character development. |
| I still don't trust Griffith. He's definitely hiding something. |
| "When life gives you lemons, make orange juice, then sit back and watch the world wonder how you did it." |
| Geezus! I've always thought that Casca was a sickeningly annoying character, but she really took it to the limit in this episode. Guts should have left her to drown and saved himself. Not too sure how much more of this wench I can stand. As for Griffith, after reading a few of the posts, can it be safely assumed that Griffith was letting that noble bend him over? Perhaps, Griffith was bending the noble over? Sent with Mal Updater |

| I don't care what anyone says. Given the situation I think Griffith deserves respect for what he did. He's my fav. character so far. |
TowardsTheStars said: Dat character development. |
| Wasn't expecting the ever-cool Griffith to sell his body. Would love to see more Guts x Casca development~ |
| Well that was expected for Casca's backstory, but a litttle unexpected for Griffith. This is getting more and more complicated. |
| I loved the super desaturated color scheme of the flashbacks in this episode. It was very Griffith. |
| Well this sure was an interesting episode with a great backstory filled with some interesting surprises and character development! |

I think she looks fine with short her. Suits her. But would suit her more if she was white. Especially with hair like that. And why the hell was Griffith scratching his arms like that!? I dunno why but I feel there's some dark secret he's hiding. Sometimes it feels like he's evil and some kind of demon pretending to be human. Something is up with him. |

| Damn, the innocent and noble Griffith sold his body...don't know what to think. All this talk about dreams makes me wonder whats so great about them anyway. |

| Man this series does not disappoint, its like it's getting better and better. |
| Rewatching in eng dub, This is why movies cut out so much crap, knowing more details about certain characters make something have more feels :v |

| Dat Griffith. Didn't really surprise me. I mean he did show his crazy eyes a few times before, so you know there's a few screws rattling around in his head. If you can spot a pun in here, I swear not intended lol. |
