How did this happen???

No.
I am under the assumption that Griffith allowed him to do it, wouldn't really want to warp space or dodge for something as insignificant.
The real answer is that it serves the narrative.
By having Rickert, one of the last survivors of the eclipse finally confront Griffth and showcase his defiance.
Hope I made myself clear.

it happened because the writer wanted it to happen is the shittiest excuse for poor writing in history

He didn't expect Rickert to slap him. He 'allowed' him to do it out of surprise.

CLANG

Pope and Charlotte were watching. While they both revere him, it's hardly befitting himself as the "benevolent white king" if Griffith turned Rickert into a twisted ball of organs for trying to slap him.

He let him do it, what's the danger in getting slapped?

If a flea jumped past your face into the grass, would you chase it?

Look at this retard who doesn't even know what is he talking about.

>>145447859
That's not my point, physically slapping him conveys a lot more of Rickert's sentiment towards Griffith than verbally confronting him, it's not poor writing.

Rickert confirmed able to kill apostles.

When was this stated?

griffith is god, he doesnt have to let anyone do anything

the fact that rickert could slap griffith means he is very special. Remember that lord that bowed before griffith and cried and was wondering what the hell he was doing? Free will does not exist in the berserk universe, at least not for most

He allowed him. If Griffith is 'god', it doesn't matter.

The sword grave was actually the number of apostles he killed. He used a different sword each time because he has that much swag.

And that's not even counting all the ones he killed with his homemade medieval rocket launcher.
