From what I understand, there are obvious parallels between Guts and the Skull Knight. However, there are slight differences that could make all the difference. Whatever the Skull Knight is, it isn't an apostle. After all he once wore the berserk armor himself, but he gave it up for something stronger (which I'm assuming is not another berserk armor). However in the process...

Several times it has been mentioned by others that it is amazing that Guts survived as a human, when it would have been easier to get stronger/survive if he just gave up his humanity. I'm assuming that their are different ways to do this, and the Skull Knight took one of them (immortality?, undeath?) to get the chance to destroy his enemies.

Since the story is about Guts fight against destiny, I'm assuming that he will retain (unlike the Skull Knight) his humanity, and find another method that doesn't require that sacrifice.

We're kind on the same page here. I think Guts and some others will be given the chance to become something else than human, and while Guts won't take it, someone of them will. And this will go bad for everyone involved.
Isidro would be particularly vulnerable. He's constantly the underdog and wants to be the strongest swordsman ever...

So then the obvious parallels would be:

Guts <=> Skull Knight
Schierke <=> Flora
Isidro <=> Zodd?!?

Edit: Removed spoiler tag...

Yes I know it's just speculation, but it was the best way I could think of to bring out a :wtf: moment using the limited forum tools.

If it is made into an OAV, I just hope they don't screw up the soundtrack like they did with Hellsing. I really liked the TV version.

I think Zodd is just really old by Apostle standards. I forget if there's anything in the series to suggest this or if it's just an intuition, but I think they did at least say at one point that he had been appearing on battlefields for a hundred or two hundred years.

More then that, but it might be just how long known stories of him have been remembered by humans. Zodd knows too much about the Skull Knight. I would put both of them (and Flora) as coming from the same generation. The SK did say he wore the berserk armor in "ages past, when we where still in the Reason of Time" whatever that means.
