  The main Difference Between Guts and Griffith is that Griffith lacks the 4 Cardinal virtues that Aristotle believes make a true Hero which includes Fortitude, Prudence, Temperance and Justice. In the beginning Guts had none of these but he slowly develop and Currently developing them to this day

  I&apos;m a simple man, I see a berserk analysis, I watch the whole thing. There&apos;s also a vein in my neck that throbs when I see Griffith but that&apos;s different

  I always felt Guts and Griffith represented how people would see their own egos if manifested. People who are fans of Guts are willing to deal with the harsh reality of being human, imperfect &nbsp;fragile and at times wrong. But capable of growing, maturing and being open to others. Than you have Griffith who is superficial, hollow and alone. But has power, influence and admiration. This show how fans and people can be divided in their most simplistic form on how they see themselves. I like both characters but it&apos;s Guts who a resonate more and criticized Griffith. The breaking point for fans to see which character they resonate more was the eclipse scene. Some fans became more on side with Guts while other pitty Griffith even though he made a choice to harm others for his own ambition.

  I&apos;ve been thinkin about this. Basically whom Griffith considered as friend are those who are equal to him in the aspect of dream. These people must be able to livin their live in the name of dream, and must be able to pour themself to realize their dream, whatever the odds. Anything less than this is not his &quot;equals&quot;. &nbsp;But Griffith never realized he already had such friend who are equal to him. Griffith maybe never noticed the real reason why he really wanted Guts in his army, or can never explained why he save Guts a number of times, even putting himself in danger for him. That&apos;s because Guts is already his equals in his subconscious. <br><br>Guts mesmerized Griffith so much because he is living for the moment, pouring everything and every fiber of his being in his sword. Guts dream was never a grand one. He fight because he know nothing else, he explained this beautifully to Casca, in the Bonfire of Dreams chapter. He live and pour his existence to his sword, this is visible in his style of fighting. Guts did gamble his live to one single strike quite a few times, putting his life on the lines against Basuzo and Zod, thus earned his survival, by wager everything he had to the tip of his sword. Guts livin his life by his sword, one strike at a time. Griffith can never understand this as he live for &nbsp;the future, thus mesmerized by Guts. &nbsp;<br><br>This is why Guts had no interest to court life, nobility or kingdom formality as he chooses to train his swordsmanship alone. He pays no heed to status, and while he respect Griffith, he never worships him. I think this is also why Griffith can only open his darkest scheme to Guts and believe him to get the job done, as opposed to Casca who only know some of his dark secret by accident. and when Griffith told Guts about Julius&apos;s assassination plan, he didn&apos;t order him, he request him, like a friend should. Because Guts, while he had no grand ambition to spoke of, is already living his life and dream to the fullest at that time even though he didn&apos;t know it, as opposed to Griffith that living for his dream in the future. Both of them are living their dream, yet they&apos;re completely different in their approach, thus makes them &quot;equal&quot; by Griffith standard. Thats why Guts leavin destroys Griffith, he lost his only friend, who sees him as equals and he himself consider equals subconsciously. And sadly both of them never know that and Griffith ego cannot cope with Guts leaving. And the rest is history.
