No, Guts cannot defeat Griffith, even when equipped with the formidable Berserker Armor.
Understanding the Power Disparity
While Guts' raw physical strength and combat prowess are exceptionally impressive, and the Berserker Armor significantly augments his capabilities, it remains insufficient to overcome Griffith's current form as Femto.
- Guts' Enhancement: The Berserker Armor pushes Guts beyond human limits, enabling him to withstand incredible punishment and deliver devastating blows. It removes pain, allowing him to utilize his body to its absolute maximum potential, even at the cost of his own sanity and physical integrity. It empowers Guts to fight with unparalleled ferocity and disregard for his own well-being.
- Griffith's Transcendent Power: Griffith, having ascended to the God Hand as Femto, operates on an entirely different plane of existence. His power is not merely physical; it involves manipulation of causality, destiny, and reality itself. He possesses supernatural abilities that far exceed any conventional or even magically enhanced human combatant.
The Core Challenge
The fundamental issue lies in the nature of their respective powers. Guts, even in his most powerful state with the Berserker Armor, is still a mortal fighting against a pseudo-divine, demonic entity. His physical attacks, no matter how strong, are largely ineffective against a being who can seemingly bend space and fate to their will.
Here's a brief comparison of their capabilities in this context:
| Aspect | Guts (with Berserker Armor) | Griffith (as Femto) |
|---|---|---|
| Nature | Peak human (supernaturally enhanced by armor) | Demonic entity, member of the God Hand |
| Abilities | Enhanced strength, speed, durability, pain immunity, ferocity | Causality manipulation, spatial distortion, immense power, prophetic foresight |
| Vulnerability | Physical damage, mental strain, exhaustion, armor's side effects | Appears largely invulnerable to conventional attacks |
| Feasibility in Combat | Cannot compete on this level | Holds overwhelming, near-absolute advantage |
Why the Armor Isn't Enough
The Berserker Armor, while transforming Guts into a literal force of nature, does not grant him abilities that can counteract Griffith's supernatural powers as Femto. It makes him stronger, but not differently strong in a way that would bypass Femto's inherent nature and defenses. His physical blows, even with the immense force of the Dragon Slayer, are effectively nullified or circumvented by Griffith's transcendent abilities. The fight would not be a mere clash of strength, but a confrontation between a mortal and a being that transcends mortal understanding.
