  1. ​ @monfernova  nope, the point of Berserk is actually the reverse. Guts fame grows, but the nature of that fame doesn't change - people still see him as a devil in human form. Only those near him know the truth... or see brighter shades:D Because in the end this connection is the only thing that would allow Guts to win over Godhand. Remember Heart of Evil? Remember how it's fueled by human emotions, wishes and fears just like 40k Warp? Guts can't win. Griffith can't lose(in fact he might even "rebel" in the future and kill some of the other members of Godhand). But from the eyes of those very same common peasants, who fuel Heart of Darkness... they see Black Swordsman as Satan and Griffith as Jesus. The very masks they forged themselves and had worn. So what happens when Guts falls to Griffiths hand in the end before the eyes of hundreds of thousands and rumours go out of this to tens millions in mere days? They see saint slay devil. Guts's death rips out the very battery from Heart of Darkness. The belief. The fear. The very things that powered it end for that one moment. Griffith, Godhand, all demons just lose their only source of magic power. And they turn back into ordinary humans. Era of magic ends, fantasy dies, masquerade falls.

  3.  @TailsClock  he probably meant Deku as lancer(pupil variety) to All Might. And for some time, it was kind of true.

  4.  @dndamn  IF we are lucky enough to live that long:D Kind of. That was my best bet once based on available info. Then he soft retconned Heart of Evil. I just don't see the way Guts would suddenly go full Saitama and gain enough power to challenge the Godhand. Even if Femto goes completely mad and kills all other members, he would still be too powerful. Plus this way I see at least some point to Beast plotline.
