This is also why various interpretations can be assigned to his words and actions.

Of course, Griffith's feelings stopped mattering after the Eclipse. For whatever reason, Griffith made Guts out to be far more valuable than anyone else—including himself.

Another part of the attraction theory comes from Casca's role in this.

Thus, when Guts arrived and changed Griffith in ways she never could, she grew jealous and resentful of Guts. Following his rebirth into the physical world, several male characters describe how just hearing his voice makes them feel strange things.

Owen and Laban, who are Heterosexual Life-Partners, have a Stupid Sexy Flanders moment towards Griffith, and late in the volumes are overjoyed to find each other again after a long separation.

Casca complained, saying she's a warrior and that it doesn't suit her, but Danann insisted on it, saying it's perfect, that she looks beautiful, and that she also looks like a 'dark elf princess'. Intrigued, and unfamiliar with what "bara" even meant, I decided to look into it -- and I was shocked at my findings.

Here, you can clearly see the bara Guts' man boobs jiggle as he lands on the ground.

This is a rather groundbreaking discovery.
Now I question the heterosexuality of Berserk, and I must conclude that it is indeed quite gay -- not that there's anything wrong with that.

But it doesn't end there:
I realized that the sheer gayness of Berserk was in front of me the entire time.

Like his thoughts, his feelings are kept vague throughout the story, so it's impossible to know him. Because you are mine.”

Berserk does have quite a bit of Les Yay, such as between Luca and Nina. By the time Guts was ready to leave the Band of the Hawk, Griffith reasserted that Guts was his and would have to duel for his freedom; this was a callback to when Griffith won their first duel and declared ownership over Guts.

He considers all the different possibilities of attacking Guts, realizing that one way, if executed properly, would most likely end in Guts' death. Getting anywhere close to the answer requires considering whatever evidence may be relevant and looking at it from multiple angles.

Arguments for Griffith Loving Guts

It's easy enough to put Griffith and Guts together as lovers, which is also why it's so easy to joke about.

He even reflected that for a second he forgot his urge to kill.

They tended to have No Sense of Personal Space around one another and would come to the others rescue a lot.

In the movie when Guts was about to fall over the side of a building, Griffith quickly reaches over and catches him, preventing him from falling to his doom.

Though after the Eclipse, shipping these two would count as Foe Yay Shipping as well as Ho Yay.

Berserk was inspired, in part, by the western film Lady Hawke, in which two lovers are kept apart by their respective transformations.

It is amazingly creepy.

There's also why Guts left in the first place. Because Guts left the Hawks and he could no longer control his life or death. He helped Guts recover after mortally wounding him, claimed him in a duel, made battle plans with Guts' personality as a factor, assigned him to special missions, and personally defended him from Zodd.

However, those who stop to think about it soon realize that the answer is much more complicated than a simple yes or no question.

He hesitates, but then thinks to himself, "But... Letting Guts into his heart caused him to act rashly on new emotions he didn't fully understand. He says the man who he used to have a hold on slipped from his grasp and will now be the sole reason for his survival. Griffith is known by his Band of the Hawk as a calm, collected leader who puts his ambitions before everything else.

Not only that, he may have ordered Rakshas to murder Rickert. This could be called love in Griffith's twisted sense of the idea.

So Does Griffith Love Guts or Not?

Part of what makes Griffith's true feelings so hard to determine is how ambiguously they were presented. We love the LGBTQAAI+ community here on MAL, don't we folks?
