Like Guts definitely admires Griffith a whole lot, but I don’t think he sees him as a perfect godlike unreachable person until Promrose. It’s part of how Miura shows why Guts is so easily swayed by the Promrose Hall speech. The way I see it, Guts’ issues, and the way he put Griffith on a pedestal, didn’t really start to get in the way of their relationship until Promrose Hall.īefore that there are a few instances of Guts treating Griffith like a leader, asking if it’s an order when Griffith makes him rear guard in chapter 15, and “just order me to do it” with Julius’ assassination, but those are pretty mild, and more like foreshadowing for when Guts’ issues raise their head properly after Promrose Hall, rather than an actual problem.
