“You demons will not have his soul” is unironically one of the nicest things anyone could do for guts

Honestly, yeah. Im sure Guts would feel honor that someone he didnt know respect and understand his rage would fights demons for his soul safety would give him a bit peace.

[@its_sisha_not_chair505]

​@@doctorwho3708i wonder how the story would of been if Guts found dimitri instead of Griffith... The better king

[@doctorwho3708]

@its_sisha_not_chair505 A whole lot of things would change. Since one, Guts wouldn't have met the mercenary group, so he wouldn't know them even if they go through the same events. But Guts would be enlisted as a knight for Dimitri country and assuming this happen during the war, he would have been on the Front lines as one of his best soldiers. And if this after the war, then Guts would have been joining Dimitri during the hunt against TWSITD(Those who Slither in the Dark) as assuming Hapi would have inform Dimitri of their existence and what they did. Guts wouldn't have demons chasing him at all and be a 'normal' soldier under a King who is Mad, but kind.

[@Sean-Johnson]

I can imagine Goro vs Machamp being like that if Goro won. Because of Goro’s honor and he will show respect to those he deems worthy. He’d probably give Machamp his respect for the fight he put up and respect even more that he fought, faced death and died like a warrior.

One thing I loved about this fight is that Dimitri used Areadbhar 20 times on screen, and in FE3H, the max use count before repairing is 20 uses! Then Guts breaks it! So amazing, love the work you guys put into these fights

Fun fact, Dimitri's lance broke after exactly 20 uses (combat arts cost extra uses in fire emblem)

[@gratedshtick]

[@edsl39]

They've made a habit of actually counting that stuff. Even back in Robocop vs Terminator, the made sure RoboCop's firearm used exactly 50 rounds. It's a small detail, but if a few people notice it then they did their job well.

[@do-re-mi-fabeat4449]

​@@bladeswillxbleedyou dropped your salt shaker.

[@ivrydice0954]

So I've heard Dimitri spends all 20 points of durability in the animation so I'll try to count how many times he attacks with his spear or glaive or whatever Areadbhar is. Ignoring the intro and I'll presume attacks blocked with the weapon don't spend durability (ironically enough) And neither do attacks that whiff so 15:17 and similar situations are ignored. subtract 1 (15:20) Tempest Lance so subtract 5 (15:24) subtract 1 (15:44) subtract 1 (15:54) subtract 1 (16:05) Frozen Lance so subtract 4 (16:12) Frame by frame counts 6 clashes for (16:57) and my ears count about 2 more offscreen subtract 1 (17:02) subtract 1 (17:09) Atrocity so subtract 4 (17:19) So if you count the Clash Rush as one turn of attacking then the math checks out. Well Done.

[@christopherrowley1274]

Actually, in Three Hopes you can upgrade it to 25 durability, so if you count the clash as six it still works

[@ivrydice0954]

@@christopherrowley1274 Never played that game so thanks for that tidbit.

​@@christopherrowley1274I'm pretty sure you can upgrade to at least 70 in Three Hopes, but it's been a while since I played.

[@PurpleShift42]

You can in fact upgrade Areadbhar to 570 durability (after being unleashed) in Three Hopes, but also in that game only combat arts and magic (if he's in Holy/Dark Knight, e.g. for class mastery or healing utility) can deplete durability, so the durability system is very different there!

[@taleswar]

As much as I'd wanted Guts to win, this death battle could've easily been shortened to 30 seconds when you factor in Fire Emblem's weapon triangle.

Why would fire emblem's weapon triangle apply to Guts? Guts has shown time and time again his swordsmanship is simply better then masters of more abstract weapons like chakrams or whips. Guts can also take on hundreds of troops solo. I will admit Demitri took this fight when someone plays through Fire Emblem three house's as Demitri versus 100 units on his own.

[@colemando0012]

@@jamesmacklin1495 well you see the weapon triangle is like rock paper scissors. Swords beat Axes, Axes beat Lances, and most important for this Lances beat Swords. Therefore Dimitri would have an extra hit % and attack power against Guts.

[@scouttengu]

My favorite part about the fight is how both of them get so bloody and messed up. In most death battles, the fighters usually don't have any visual damage to them until the final blow. However, in this fight you can see both Guts and Dimitri get absolutely f**ked up. It shows how neither of them is invincible and feels every bit of pain, only pushing through it because they need to keep fighting on until only one of them is left standing. (Well, technically both of them were standing at the end) It's such an amazing detail and also the reason why I like these more low power level fights rather than seeing two universe busters throw each other around planets and stuff. Props to everyone who worked on this episode. It's probably the best one ever!

[@sketchydude8431]

Yeah that's great Part of me wishes they was more detail to the damage, like one of them loses a few fingers for example. But that's more of a nitpick than anything else, and what was shown in the fight is still pretty great.
