So did Griffith consider Guts a friend or was he just using him as a soldier?

He considered guts as a lover

The manga outright tells you that "h-he was just using him" theory is bullshit.

An unwilling Lover

Post the next page, just to drive the point home.

He outright states in the manga that Guts was the only person to make him lose sight of his dream. He was gay as fuck for Guts.

He wanted his cock

Yeah, Griffith didn't care about Guts at all, Guts wasn't Griffith's only friend or anything, he never went off the rails as a result of Guts leaving and the entire eclipse story and everything after it never happened. What a dumb question.

>So did Griffith consider Guts a friend or was he just using him as a soldier?

Obviously the latter at first.

By the time they got christened the White Hawks Griffith clearly saw him as a close friend. That was the ironic thing: that thing about stomping all over people to get what he wanted was just bravado, but he admitted what he always wanted to Charlotte then: an equal.

Guts took it entirely the wrong way but pretty much by the time Griffith was trusting him with his dirtier work, he clearly thought of him as one, even if neither of them realized that, that's why Guts leaving and beating him destroyed him so. To him, Guts decided being equals wasn't enough.

He was starring at guts the entire time while raping casca, he was probably pretty hardo gay for him.

>who changed griffith that way
Definitely don't remember that line.
How liberal of a translation could that be?

He's devilman levels of gay for guts.

But Satan can't be gay for Devilman if she's both.

Griffith loves guts a platonic yet super homo way. He's basically the ever person he has met that he views as anything approaching an equal, and the only person he didn't want to sacrifice in order to achieve his dreams.

Nah he really is gay for guts. He tried to shoot guts a sign during the nude bathing scene at the well.

And now that Griffith can't be gay because he's a hermaphrodite too, it's in the name: Femto, with a heavy emphasis on the Fem.

>You're the one... who changed Griffith that way. And I can't forgive you for that...
It's 100% accurate.

Yeah but it is more than just gay homolust. It is pure love in the Greek sense.

A friend but Griffith was a giant dickhead about it and wanted to see him as another soldier.

full on homo mode confirmed. Or at least, Caska certainly thought so.
Might think differently now, if she thought much at all.
Maybe another conversation to be had post-potato.

Well the funny thing is he clearly did that so the others wouldn't see it as special treatment but
prove at the very least Casca saw right through all that.

And honestly the way they carried themselves near the end none of them would've begrudged Griffith for it either, most of them were either Guts' fanboys from the start or after he did some of the crazy shit during their campaigns.

I think you're overestimating it. If Griffith wasn't a fucking idiot about it constantly deluding himself that all he cares about is that dream of his it would be normal friendship.

He clearly wasn't trying too hard.

Gettin' pretty damn J Edgar Hoover in here.

Are you serious with this shit? "Why would you question me when I'd lay down my own life for you." That shit is in the anime, didn't even have to fig for it. Like...seriously dude? It was made clear like 3 fucking times.

>Among the thousands of comrades and thousands of enemies you're the only one that made me forget my dream
Clearly at some point he did

i think its both OP, he respected/loved guts but didnt hesitate to use him when the opportunity presented itself

guts was his main toy. he maybe wanted to be friends but guts wanted more than just be friends. he wanted to be his equal and that would not happen.

did you even read the manga?

Unless he was lying to the princess here, it's pretty much stated.

forgot pic

>that shitty scan
>mangafox
Come on, man.

I don't get it

Why didn't Griffith just rape Guts instead of Casca if he loved him that much?

If the old man he prostituted himself out to hadn't turned him off men he probably would've

He wants the ol guts cock, not his butt
