"Im never going swimming in full armor again."

Thus implying he has swam in half his armor before, thus he had 'experience' in the matter.
That and Caska's hormonal bleeding emitted pheromones that gave Guts testosterone power that gave him super strength to protect her. Or something.

Shall I clap for you? =__="

Well I was pretty sure about why she was struggling during the battle, but when it was shown it looked like some kind of wound.
I'm surprised they kind of show it though.

Guts is repaying the favor, though I don't know why he wouldn't wrap her in his cape first or something.
And they always had some chemistry. It comes at no surprise. Casca will probably get pretty angry in the morning.

great episode, its good to know that every character has strengths and weaknesses, and how powerful Guts is, Griffith must be strong AF! love how Guts was able to return the favor with Casca too, but I hope they explain why Casca is always so hateful toward Guts, and why Guts is so impassive toward said hate, or did I miss something?

I'm still surprised that Griffith hasn't addressed Guts about the fact that Guts murdered way too many people than he originally was intended to do.

Also, I thought at first that Casca was pregnant, but turns out she was wounded. If she has a fever because of a wound, that's no good at all.

I can't see Lord Adon making it out alive but I wouldn't be surprised.

A battle with an interpersonal ending. I think that's good but at this point what are they even battling for?

I guess it's time for Casca and Guts to actually spend some time together. He kept his clothes on at least and held her. His arms have to be sore though, after swinging that sword around and holding her most the night. It's as if hes holding her like his shield with the sword on the other arm.

I wonder if they'll talk about themselves or just Griffith.

Another great episode yet again. This series has been nothing but great so far.

Griffith keeps becoming more and more sinister with each passing episode, it is becoming very interesting.

Griffith may have been the star of the other episodes, but this time I will have to give it to Guts. The last scene really says it all.

Well, holy heck, that took a sudden turn... Let's start from the beginning though. The Queen seems to have Julius' mindset, so Griffith might struggle getting political power via Princess. Unfortunate. The battle turned bad, Griffith and his men beat the enemies, however, Guts and Casca are in a pretty rough situation, both're injured, especially Casca, she might not even make it, it seems. Let's see what Griffith decides regarding this situation.

You guys are way too critical on the realism of this show. There were winged demons in the beginning if you don't remember that so stop talking shit about CPR, if they would have survived the fall, Corbalwatz could have killed Casca etc.
It is a piece of fictional narrative story telling, appreciate the artistry of composition and colour instead of nitpicking on questions of realism in a clearly established unrealistic show from the get go

Yes! Absolutely agree! And the way he was clutching his sword as he wrapped himself around her. Protecting Casca is clearly very important to Guts and the composition of this shot explains that perfectly!

I already hated Adon and now I hate him 10x more. Hope he is dead.

Hopefully Casca warms up towards Guts instead of returning to become that unlikeable Casca everyone hates. It seriously was hard to be a woman in Medieval warring states.

Those Military commanders from the main army are such dicks.

Good episode. Griffith receives a "lodestone" from the princess. That Coborlowitz dude had such a roundabout way to basically say that Casca's a slut. Lol, what a medieval roast.
Anyways, he got beat up, but I guess they didn't finish him off either after he shot Casca and Guts off of the cliff.

I knew Casca was having her period the moment she grabbed her stomach for the first time, but the "reveal" in the cave was a bit unclear, because I couldn't really tell what part of her body they were showing at first. Took me a few times to realize it was the "period" reveal, instead of some scar/battlewound as I thought at first.

Also the fact that Guts had to warm her body this time was just perfect. It confirms he doesn't really mind touching anymore and I'm still wondering how that came about. Maybe in the manga it gets explained?

A few thoughts:
1) I think Griffith already considers Guts a friend, but he doesn't realize it. Casca noticed from the very beginning that Guts changed something in Griffith. A mere follower cannot change the one they follow. Also, to be noted that Guts does not believe in Griffith vision like the rest. He is rather interested in Griffith as a person. I believe Griffith feels this, but again, he doesn't realize it.

2) Women have fighting abilities. It is not because they are as good warriors as the men, but because they need to protect the children when danger arises and men are not around, as it happens with many other living creatures. Although, in most cases, women and children are in safer places, one can never know when dire situations occur. However, this doesn't mean a woman can fight on a regular basis. Her fighting skills are an auxiliary function meant for crisis. Her body is different from the man's, and she has not the same physical strength. When a woman fights, she inevitably fights differently from men. Her body has a different rhythm, functions, and routine. Therefore, if a woman wants to live a man's life, like in this episode, occasionally her body manifests in a disruptive way. It is these moments that mean to remind her she has a different mission, she is made to do other things.
