Honestly I have to give credit to the author; this is indeed the single most infuriating character I have ever seen in any manga. I really hope the ending is the 'curse' where he dies if he ever leaves her turns out to be false and the first thing he does it books it.
Bro we have been on the same fucking boat for 10 years. I have gone from rereading the series 5+ times to just wanting this shit to end. Two month wait for Guts to fall on his face? Good analogy for the series honestly.
