Casca became pregnant as a result of a sexual encounter with Guts. This conception occurred after Guts had reunited with the Band of the Falcon, prior to the devastating events of the Eclipse.
The Conception and Subsequent Events
The child was conceived through the intimate relationship between Guts and Casca, marking a brief period of deep connection between them.
However, the circumstances surrounding Casca's pregnancy took a horrifying turn during the cataclysmic ritual known as the Eclipse. During this event, Griffith, in his ultimate quest for power, sacrificed the Band of the Falcon and was reborn as Femto, a new member of the God Hand.
Upon his terrifying transformation into Femto, he flew down and brutally raped Casca in front of a trapped and helpless Guts. While this monstrous act did not initiate the pregnancy, it profoundly affected the already conceived fetus. The demonic influence and pervasive evil of Femto's act during the Eclipse corrupted the unborn child.
- Key Timeline of Events:
- Conception: Guts and Casca engaged in sexual intercourse, leading to Casca becoming pregnant.
- The Eclipse: Griffith sacrifices his companions and transforms into the demon Femto.
- Corruption: Femto rapes Casca, which, while not the act of conception, imbued the developing fetus with demonic characteristics.
The Demon Child's Nature
The child born from this union, often referred to as the Demon Child, bore the tragic consequences of the Eclipse. Though biologically Guts's offspring, the demonic energies and malevolent will from Femto's act warped its physical form and essence. This resulted in a tormented existence, reflecting the profound and horrifying impact of the supernatural forces at play within their world.
