I think Gambino is just a twisted guy. Some lone, solitary wolves like him generally show love and hatre for some people at the same time. At the same time they are hating on them and saying despicable things, they still share some sort of love to such person in subtle actions like Gambino giving Guts the medicine to heal his arm. It's a twisted type of affection, that swings between hatre and some tame love.

Why does Griffifth look so much like woman lol

Also, why is Casca mad at Guts for sleeping with him, even though it was Griffifth who made her do it?

His character design was inspired by Lady Oscar from the manga/anime Rose of Versailles, a woman given the upbringing of a man in the French nobility. Miura has said that he considers Berserk comparable to a Shoujo (girl's manga) due to them and Berserk having a strong focus on emotions driving a character's decisions. Many have compared Berserk to be in many ways a fusion between Hokuto no Ken and Rose of Versailles, with a hint of Guin Saga and a few western sci-fi and dark fantasy works from the 50s-80s such as Elric of Melinbone.

Also, why is Casca mad at Guts for sleeping with him, even though it was Griffifth who made her do it?
She has such an undying loyalty and respect for Griffith that she'd rather put the blame on Guts getting so injured in the first place.

Something about the characters and their interactions reminds me a bit of Star Wars. Do you see something similar between the two [mention]Captain Cadaver[/mention]?

Also lol at how Guts’ “If you win I’ll be your fag boy or whatever”

Well, a later character (Isidro) does mention at one point he has the high-ground :troll

I'd say it's probably a bit of a stretch to say there's similar character chemistry between Berserk's cast and the Star Wars films, though both (more so for the Star Wars prequels) do have some Shakespearean elements to both character dialogue and their thought processes.

He's got the experience. :donovan3

Well guess I wasn’t half wrong on the guy not being a man… Or is this just lazy censorship?

It's the latter. Having characters essentially be like an Action Man toy downstairs is a pretty common censorship trope in manga/anime.

Interesting to note that another character in manga this trope is used on, Lizard Misty from Saint Seiya, also had similar inspirations behind his effeminate design as Griffith did.

Has Griffith's age ever been revealed? He looks slightly older than Guts when they first met but not by much.

He's roughly the same age as Guts according to the Berserk Official Guidebook, which cites them both as 24 as of the start of the Fantasia Arc.

I'd love to know how Griffith's tiny sword was capable of blocking Guts'. Was it made of Katchin?

That guidebook entry was full of shit though. It also says Casca is the same age as Griffith, and that's completely impossible based on their first meeting (unless Griffith somehow looked a good 2-3 years older than his age and had adult-like maturity)

[mention]SuperSaiyan2[/mention] I thin I’ll go back to where I stopped. Still remember the little bit I’ve read fairly well to not have to bother starting from zero.
