OMFG 318

[ericthai1]

Anyway I've been wondering this how old was Gutts in this chapter?He is gettin quite old

 

[MorrisB]

Is Guts' age ever stated in the series to begin with ?

I'd say he's between 30-40 btw, but perhaps the Berserker Armor is hastening his aging a bit due to the stress it puts on the body (it even made his hair turn silvery).

 

[Lord Benrir]

I'd go with the armour theory. I think that his actual age is rather the mid twenties or so.

 

[Evilknightz]

He is 22

 

[MorrisB]

In which chapter is that stated ?

Also, another reason why I can hardly accept Guts is anywhere below 25 is that Miura hardly mentions anywhere how fast is the story actually preceeding (how many days/weeks/months do the adventures and the traveling between places takes), the only two occasions I remember is where it pointed out how many years he spent with the Hawks and how long he was out on a lonely revenge quest before returning to Godo's mine (and finding out Caska went missing). So I think it is quite rightful to assume he's around 30 by now.

 

[Evilknightz]

With the large gaps in the story, it always says something like "Three years later" People added it up.

 

[Battery Acid]

Guts is in his early twenties.

 

[Evilknightz]

It's pretty clear that he is about 15 when he fights Batsuzo, and Miura tells us how many years pass. He is approx. 22.

 

[Lord Benrir]

Aww, I hit two years off the spot! I thought 24..

 

[Ar - Adunakhor]

So what i gather from this thread is that the 'missing' chapters are not written yet and the gaps in the numeration are due to that fact. Am i right?

Could somebody tell me which is the first chapter after the anime?

 

[Evilknightz]

No. Read the manga of the anime part. They skipped a lot of important stuff.

 

[Ar - Adunakhor]

Thank you, I will do that.
