Why is it the only thing that makes sense? Guts' story is that of the survivor. He Was born to a dead women and left in the ground but survives. He spends pretty much his entire life on the battlefield. His is a story of a normal human who literally just can't give up no matter what. No matter what happens to him he will get up because he can't not. Even "fate" doesn't work on him because he's simply unable to give up. Him being the son of Zodd would destroy his character and story.

Guts is 100% human and it’s part of his character. People who think he is zodd’s son watched too much star wars.
It's a homosexual theory that takes away from the story. Guts is strong because his life is constant war and pain all the way from his childhood. Saying that he's the son of zodd means he never earned his prowess (and by extension, you the reader could never be as good as him because you don't have saiyan blood or whatever). It's a weak homosexual theory for weak homosexuals who don't want to be inspired. The fact that you need a fairy tale magic excuse for guts to have superhuman strength is gay and moronic.
Plus griffith beat guts in combat. Is griffith somehow half apostle too?
Also this is so fricking dumb. The whole point of guts character is he was born of nobodies with nothing. Everything he has he has had to struggle and earn.
He's only defined by himself and his actions.
>Man vs God story should pull a Naruto discounting Guts's personification of the human struggle
Shut up
He didn't get the berserker armor until really late in the story, like chapter 250 of the current 360 or something.
As others said, I just really don't see what it adds >but berserker armor means he's special
So Guts is a descendant of the skull king then, considering that he was the last one to don the armor before him. Honestly that theory makes a lot more sense now that I think about it. You know what, I've made my decision. Guts is a descendant of the first king of Midland and that's that. Also explains why the guy even bothers talking to him.
I don't really care but I have a few Qs. >Can Apostles have normal children?
We haven't see that. >Zod seems 100% uninterested in anything but glorious combat against worthy foes
I don't remember him ever being Hornt >Why tho
Seriously what does it add. Gut already had corrupted half Demon son. Having an Apostle for a dad who went to the store to buy Newports doesn't add much.
>>Can Apostles have normal children? >We haven't see that.
Wrong, Slug Baron had a qt daughter. As for the physical resemblance, compare their ears, hair, and face. Lots of similarity. >>Zodd seems 100% uninterested in anything but glorious combat against worthy foes >I don't remember him ever being Hornt
Out of character maybe, but still possible. Just because he's not a Wyald sickfrick doesn't mean he doesn't get pussy. >>Why tho >Seriously what does it add
Explains his innate combat talent and why he's such a physical beast (Griffith's top guy), because he's the son of gigachad. Also adds a kino twist to their autistic death battle and the fact that they were/are both Griffith's top dogs at one point or another.
>>>Can Apostles have normal children? >>We haven't see that. >Wrong, Slug Baron had a qt daughter. As for the physical resemblance, compare their ears, hair, and face. Lots of similarity.
He had a daughter before he became an apostle you fricking moron.
First of all it put some respect on my homie Griffith's name and second of all his tender consensual lovemaking corrupted Guts' child. It didn't produce a child in and of itself.
Third of all the Godhand aren't normalgay apostles so this makes it even worse for your argument that the strongest and best of these beings can only produce a corrupted human that looks like a Dali painting.

Struggling and grinding doesn't enable you to cut horses and homies in plate armor in half even if you have a Rich Piana physique, but being the

Yeh, doesn't mean an apostle can't get his frick on with a human woman and produce a human child though, especially in their "human" form

How does that make sense? What's your theory?
Him being zodd's son would be ridiculously bad for the story. Also can apostles even have children? The baron had a daughter but he had a daughter BEFORE he became an apostle.
Zodd looks like a fking gorrila, guts is unironically handsome.
Also this is so fricking dumb. The whole point of guts character is he was born of nobodies with nothing. Everything he has he has had to struggle and earn.
He's only defined by himself and his actions.
Guts being a son of a legendary apostle would go against the whole theme of the story. Fighting against your fate even though you can't escape it, is central to the story.
It's a big part of Guts' identity, which is why it would be cool to see him struggle with his apostle blood. It's like being an S.S. officer and finding out you have israeli ancestry, kek. Maybe his resolve would waver a bit, since his humanity is literally one of the only things he has left to cling to. Compound this with the godhand tempting his bloodlust side with apostlehood and you have a kino arc with lots of character building to be had. I can totally see Miura going in that direction during the last few arcs, maybe when he's fighting one of the godhand.
Griffith is the chosen one with all the things given to him. He is literally chosen by 'god'. Guts is supposed to be the opposite of that. Some literal who. But he will be tempted by the behelit that he has been carrying for so long and will have to make the choice of sacrificing all his friends but it's going to take something big happening for him to even consider that. Such a shame he passed away. I wonder if he ever told the ending to his editors Incase something happened.
It's been picked up by Miura's friend and successful manga creator Kouji Mori. Evidently Miura finished the whole story and told it to him. Said he wont embellish it and only put in what he remembers from their conversations on it. And Miura's current art team (who was doing the art for the most part anyway) is gonna be doing most of the art.

Not what I meant
swings a 400 lbs slab of iron around and doesnt sleep, imo he's on grams of gear
He's a genetic freak
Or he's Zodd's son

Remember when Guts banished a random farmer to an eternity in hell for literally no reason?
Guts deserved what he got
When you save countless people you get to do things like that.
pretty sure this was before the elf arc. The eclipse happened like two weeks ago. He also killed a kid so eternity in hell he deserves
Kid was an accident. I would have sliced that little twink too.
You mean the one in the wagon with his daughter? That wasn't his fault
yeah it was. Golden age arc hadn't started yet and KM hadn't fleshed out his character yet. Like when he fricks the apostle.
