Has Two Mommies is now a disambig. Dewicking
Changed line(s) 32 (click to see context) from:
* Before genetics was well-understood, in some cultures it was believed that if two men had sex with a woman within a short span of time, the resulting child would ''literally'' [[HasTwoMommies Have Two Daddies]], taking on traits from both of them. Sounds a lot like the Child, yes? Also, some evolutionary psychologists currently believe that very young children instinctively try to cock-block their parents because another child would demand resources (food, attention, protection) that would otherwise be theirs alone, which would offer an additional explanation for why raping Casca is its BerserkButton.

* What happens to Casca is already [[TearJerker unimaginably horrific]], there is no question. In fact, one would be hard pressed to figure out a way to make it worse, though I'm sure Miura could do it if he put [[FanDisservice his mind]] to it. Which is why, when imaging Guts' feelings of agony, guilt, and hopelessness, it becomes an [[UpToEleven order of magnitude more horrifying]] when we consider how he must feel when he failed to prevent happening the exact same thing that happened to him as a child. Then he is almost coerced by his evil half to do the exact same thing. Excuse me, but I have some sand in my eyes.

** An even better example is Ganishka, who literally rebelled against the God Hand, tried to become more powerful than they were, and ended up just being the next stepping stone to the astral merger (with the Skull Knight and his sword being strung along also). He did exactly what he wanted, those wants presumably were against the God Hand, but it didn't matter, it was all in the flow of Causality.

** He was probably just being extra safe, knowing how dangerous an enemy Guts really is. A stab to the head might not have ended the fight immediately (Guts could have dodged, blocked it with his mouth, or given his fame just flat out survived it), and that would have allowed Guts to draw his sword unopposed.

** One additional point— yes, Charlotte consented, but knowing [[TheSociopath who Griffith is]] and [[RapeAsDrama what he does later]] in his desperate attempts to feel powerful, who's to say he ''cared'' even then? Griffith is notably making forceful advances even before he gets her consent. Charlotte may very well have narrowly avoided a similar fate to that of Casca, and she never even knew it.

** That's a bit irrelevant, considering that the Apostles and God Hand do '''not''' have any kind of order from the Idea of Evil. Their free will '''is''' the will of their master, that's the whole point of all the Causality talk, everyone is stuck in this predestined nightmare, God Hand and humans alike. So, even if Femto somehow betrays the other God Hand in a bid for even more power, this will also have been part of the plan before he could even conceive of the possibility, for doing what he wants means furthering the Idea of Evil's plan.

This is best exemplified when Wyald tries to kill Griffith, saying the Apostles don't really have to respect the next chosen one, and he can exercise his free will and crush him before the Eclipse. Zodd agrees, and then says he's exercising his own free will in killing Wyald before that happens. Everyone's free will adds up to Causality, which is the Idea of Evil's plan coming together.
