Did anyone notice that to protect his mama in the Tower of conviction arc, he…
did an equivalent of…
what Griffith did several times…
after being reborn? Except that Griffith was showing the souls to the family of the deceased when the baby simply exorcized the things that were after his mom, or so it looks like?
And since that baby and Femto fused to allow Griffith to be reborn, I wonder if it couldn’t be the baby’s power and, because they fused, Griffith can used that power? Or Griffith just has all the possible powers that exist because he’s one of the Godhand and Baby Gutsca just happened to get this power in particular as a demon? Or all demons can somehow exorcize each other and it’s all inherent to who’s the strongest demon?
Also let’s say the demon infant is somehow the moonlight child (I know, it’s just a theory), could it be that the last we saw of him…
has something to do with what Griffith does when he shows the souls of the departed to their families?
Except that in the moonlight child’s case (considering the theory he’s the demon infant), the fact he’s a part of Griffith + that it happens on the night of the full moon (when magic is at its strongest) allows him a corporeal body for a short time?
But at the same time that wouldn’t explain Zodd possibly watching over him from afar, since all of this would mean the moonlight child would disappear after the full moon anyway, even if he didn’t leave on his own…
The thing is, I’m not ready to believe yet that Griffith is somehow disappearing every full moon to allow the Moonlight Child some freedom and time with this parents (that doesn’t sound like him at all, especially considering what he did to said parents), so there must be an explanation as to how the moonlight child manages to appear at every full moon with what seems to be a corporeal body.
I wonder, does Griffith even know about that? If Zodd really is watching over the Moonlight Child (at least the first time this happened), then there is a good possibility he knows (assuming Griffith doesn’t disappear because the Moonlight Child is allowed to exist for one night), though Zodd is different from the other Apostles, so… who knows really.
Any thoughts?
Reblogging this post ‘cause I reread vol 38 again (just when Rickert leaves with the Kushans) and…
…the moon is full but Griffith is there.
So if my boy here…
…really is linked to Griffith, there is a high chance that him appearing during the full moon isn’t equal to Griffith disappearing for a night (see the full discussion).
Obviously that doesn’t help with whether Griffith knows about this or not or why Zodd was apparently spying on Guts’ group and the child during vol 28, but at least it looks like this boy and Griffith are more or less independent entities the nights magic is at its strongest.
As always, feel free to leave your thoughts if you want!
