Viewing Topic - Thoughts About Casca And The "possible" Ending

Ok... well I was pretty harsh on Casca before, but I think I may have just been venting a little too much. I still believe that even if she does get her memory back she'll betray Gats and the crew to go to Griffith, but that's not for a very long time from now[with the way this author works]. I just started Volume 24 so I'm not a hundred percent on these, but they could be true based on what I have seen from the characters so far.

Casca is not in love with Gats... She was using him as a way to get over Griffith. She may have cared for him as a little more than a comrade in arms, but she certainly never had any intention of going with him when left the group again. She may have thought about it since she knew it would difficult to see Griffith with some one else[the princess for example], but she was really never seriously considering it. Everything she was doing with Gats can used to prove my theory, it was almost as if she was trying to hard to forget him. She seemed to be over compensating for the pain she was feeling in her heart for knowing that Griffith would never fully accept her like she wanted.

Gats was merely the crying pillow.

That said it's also true that she enjoyed the supposed "rape" at the hands of Femto[Griffith]. You can see it on her face and in her actions as they are doing it[I don't think rape victims kiss their rapers as passionately as she was kissing him or caress their attackers the way she caressing him]. She continuously said to not look because she was embarrassed to be seen while having sex like that.

Again, more proof that she never truly cared for Gats.

Now on to the memory loss itself. I feel it's a combination of trauma and spell or curse that Griffith placed on her while have sex with her. Griffith had to have done something to her since she's different than Gats is. At night the creatures don't really attack her so much and this can be proven in the fact that she survived for an entire month by herself without being killed by the creatures of the night. Also at the tower the creatures that appeared in the Iron Maiden and attacked the Inquisitors seemed to revere her as a Queen, savagely protecting and engulfing her to keep her safe. It's almost like by having sex with Griffith she has been acknowledged as his Queen as such is meant to be protected. Of course the lowly creatures of the night will still attack since they don't recognize her, but she is protected by more powerful creatures. Also it seems that she wasn't really getting attacked by creatures until she started traveling with Gats. There is something very different about her and I feel it has to do with her and Griffiths relationship.

Because of Casca's "memory loss" she's seems more child-like and broken. I believe this is also one of the reasons that she seems to recognize Griffith. Maybe she didn't recognize him, but became enthralled in his presence like everyone else did. It's obvious that Griffith still very much cares for Casca[since he saved her from falling rocks at Goto's place, and Zodd seemed to be preventing Gats from interfering with their reunion]. Casca obviously never forgot the love she had for him, but the look on her face at Goto's seemed more like a believer looking at the face of their God. She seems to remember the reverence she had for him, and that's the feeling that eventually turned to love before all of this happened. It's a shame but really not all that unpredictable... Casca will betray the group and probably die by the hands of one of her "friends" at the end of the story.

--- End of the Story -----

My prediction of the end of the story is really simple. Casca will undoubtly do something to decieve the group and she'll running/allow herself to be taken to Griffith. She will probably copulate[have sex, if you don't know] with him and then she'll become something like his right hand, next to Zodd of course. Gats will, of course, try to "save" her fro Griffith[never understood this part... She left freely and even tried to stop you from following her... Why chase after her like she was taken?]. Finally Gats will fight his way to Griffith killing Zodd in the process and Franesse or someone like he will fight with Casca. During which time Gats and Diffith will have their EPIC battle and in the end Gats will kill him. Casca, distracted briefly from Griffith's death, will be killed by her fighter... Most likely Farnesse. Gats will grieve and cry then bury her and disappear.

------ End of Prediction ------

Truthfully, the only shot Gats has to be with Casca romantically is if he is able to win her over while she doesn't remember anything and when she does get her memories back they some how "meld" with her current memories. If that's the case then Gats might be able to get a big enough place in her heart to overcome her need for Griffith. Hopefully enough to make her stay with him.

This seems unlikely, but it's Gats best and only chance to be happy with Casca.
