Griffith's plans for Charlotte

>he just underestimated how fucked up the King of Midland was when it comes to Charlotte
Pretty much this. The nature of the king's feelings toward Charlotte only became clear to Griffith when the torture started.

Eventually would had sent Guts to murder him

Pretty much, I think he had some idea that marrying Charlotte would be harder than he hoped for, but he didn't know about the incest stuff until later.

Also, which one? LEFT or RIGHT

The King would have no say against the marriage if Griffith just kept his cool.

If he did, he would have died.

Simple as that.

I don't even understand how kingdom ownership is an issue at this point.

I'll preface my expansion of that statement by saying I'm not all the way caught up. I'm up to where Guts n co. get to some city in Midland (forget which) and Isidro and that knight fag fight off some would be pirates.

So from what I've seen, Griffith manifested into the normal realm is op op. According to battles we've seen and loli witch's explanations, creatures like him are not susceptible to harm in any way from stuff coming from the normal realm. "It's like the character in a story challenging the writer," or something like that. So sure, I accept Griffith is gonna get that dang ol' kingdom because that's what he wanted to do in the first place. Fine. When a being has op powers I think it's natural to question why their motives would remain petty, but I'll grant that it makes sense that he still wants to rule a kingdom simply because that was his dream all along (not power or anything else we might think is concomitant or more valuable than a kingdom). My question is, what does Charlotte, the right of succession, enemy opposition, or anything else have anything to do with the execution of Griffith's plan to own a kingdom? None of the (significantly culled) populace of Midland needs to respect or recognize him for him to own them. He can just keep effortlessly slaughtering all opposition and then by default he'll be the inheritor. Maybe I just don't know how kingship works, or maybe I underestimate the Kushan's leader. I dunno.

Wow okay I totally misread the OP. Seems you were asking your question from the pre eclipse setting. I was thinking about after Griffith and Zodd rescued Charlotte. Disregard!

>>149259270
Griffith can be harmed, you just have to get past the godhand's causal manipulation, which is surprisingly easy to do seeing as how they are limited in their foresight/pseudo-precognition.

Kinda like what we saw with Rickert. Griffith couldn't expect Rickert to reject him in a million years, so he let his guard down and got fuckign shlapped.

>>149258445
Right

>>149258445
Right looks more accurate

>>149256949
Wasn't the king of Midland actually thinking of letting them marry? He seemed to love Griffith

>>149257696
I think he didnt even need to do that. The king died of natural causes only 3 years after Guts leaves. Meanwhile Griffith could have played his cards well on the court and make himself more influential in Midland politics. Hell, the guy is said to be charismatic as fuck, and he already had several people among the nobles who liked him, it's only natural to assume this would be the path he took if Guts didnt leave his ass.

>>149259788
You can also speculate that Griffith let him slap him, but then again that seems dumb since there are assassin's trying to kill him now.

Or. maybe now that the realms have merged, God Hand isn't as OP now. The would make sense since Skull Knight clearly did it on purpose.

>>149256949
>Or maybe he just underestimated how fucked up the King of Midland was when it comes to Charlotte.
But he knew how fucked up he was. He even told him in his face that he wants Charlotte for himself.
Also you don't need to be fucked up to punish that guy who fucked your daughter behind your back.
How I see the the situation, Griffith probably would have waited, but after Guts left, which pissed him off beyond everything, he stopped thinking straight and need some for of victory quickly so he overthrew his plans and went straight for the princess.
