Okay, beyond the messing around, if I can be completely honest for a moment the latest chapter and the way how it rewrites the relationship between Griffith and the GodHand has left me with this dreadful feeling, which I truly hope I am wrong about. The way how it calls out all his savior antics and world building and his kingdom as just a front he is hiding behind- which, to be fair, is just confirmation of what we already know- but this revelation being done in the form of taunting by the GodHand, coupled with his unusual reaction... has me fearing that this entire time the reality of Griffith's situation has been this:
The only difference now being:
He no longer has somebody to drag him out of there.
In this grand chase of his that was spurred on by both guilt and ambition, for every single sacrifice to be worth something he chose power believing that he wouldn't have to need anybody else if he was strong enough.
And he got exactly what he wanted.
This time around he is completely and utterly alone.
