![]() ![]() The fact that instead of pain he feels happiness, more than he felt in any other context shows both his strength and insane love for fighting. Strangely the one in which he’s most happy is when he’s clearly just been cut in combat. We’re then treated to a series of images which show Guts at various stages in the show. He is staring out from a cliff top overlooking the world before jumping down ready to fight, with blood slashing at the floor and a flower burning up, which could represent Guts’ loss of purity and childhood innocence from a very young age. It could be ironically saying that Guts is the complete opposite to this line or that his wish for a dream is so desperate that any help from the grave will be appreciated. I find it strange that this scene takes place at the same time as “Even mother will show you another way” because it obviously shows that Guts’ mother is hanging there and he’s left deserted in the world. The next shot shows the scene of Gut’s birth, yes he was born in a tree with many hanged people on it. Despite this he’s able to draw his sword later showing the adventure he embarks on and his undying quest for purpose and fighting. It may also foreshadow the future catastrophic events which happen to him. We start with a shot of Guts which zooms out in fragments to a moment where his skin starts burning up, showing his troubled, tragic past and nature as a lonely mercenary. I skip the OP normally anyway so it really doesn’t bother me too much. They balance quite well and the music matches the early parts of the story really well. To me the music is hype to represent all the cool parts of the show, the adventure and fighting whilst the ED represents the depressing and dark parts. ![]() A claim that people often make is that the OP doesn’t fit in with the rest of the show and I couldn’t disagree more. ![]()
