#the reason i think abt this a lot is bc i'm fixated on Skull Knight's Lost Lady Love looking very much like griffith on that one page

Trying to make sense of Skull Knight and Gaiseric and the empire and the parallels with Griffith and Guts and Void and the godhand and what all this means for current events and I just need to read the whole thing again

There were 5 godhand including Void when the empire fell in an eclipse. Void is the only one remaining so it's likely he is the one who sacrificed, he's also probably the sage from the tower of conviction and so was Gaiseric's enemy even before sacrificing and ascending. Gaiseric has no history prior to being king and was a poor ruler. The person who sacrificed must have loved the city and its people to sacrifice them. Gaiseric escaped and became Skull Knight who is neither a godhand or apostle, as Guts escaped Femto. Guts is compared to Skull Knight but Griffith is compared to Gaiseric. Those other 4 godhand are gone, and the new ones didn't simply replace them because there was a spot waiting for Femto. So did Void turn on the other 4? Is Griffith now going to do the same? If Femto opposed the others, what would the apostles do? Would they turn on him without thought or choice?

I don't see it ending in Guts vs Griffith because a) I don't think guts stands a chance against Griffith and the apostles even with Skull Knight and his friends and whatever other allies and b) even if they beat Griffith, there's still the rest of the godhand
