The name is not really translatable. For what purpose? And what if Void wasn’t the first, but the second…? That should say enough about his character. Maybe not in the same fashion as Griffith, maybe SK was willing to be a good ruler, changing the injustice of Gaiseric tyranny. My opinion is that he's referring to the skull knight's situation in that the exact same sacrifice occurred. Gaiseric, seeing the ceremony of the eclipse takes Void as an hostage, so SK could only sacrified all his band except Flora and Void. An Alternative Theory to Skull Knight’s and Void’s origins But in fact by taking Void as an hostage and torturing him for so long his helping the IoE, preparing Void mentally to be the second God Hand.When SK, Flora and Void defeated Gaiseric, SK made the decision to step down from being the perfect King, probably hoping to regain Flora but stepping down from the IoE have a price and SK couldn’t stay in the physical world, so their love was imposible at that point after all. What will sacrifice then?
Perhaps even King Gaiseric was offered as sacrifice and thus branded. There is all the reason to think the symbolism applies to this specific character as well. I'm thinking whoever was able to sacrifice a Kingdom and not be the King has to be close to him somehow. I will have to double check this at some time.
author have stuff to write about for another +100 chapters lol ). I see no reason to call it the sword of resonance. Mozgus: In this tower a wise man was once imprisoned by Gaiseric the Conqueror.Nice post. Or maybe SK and four friends who were as close to him as Schierke, Serpico, Caska and that little boy (forgot his name) are to Guts?
But if you want to mention his motif's then his skull helmet, those hooks on his helmet look like a crown and his shield has a very interesting rose with "x" crossed thorns under it... symbol.
I see Gats surviving and Flora eventually leaves the band, searching sanctuary in the elf world, SK prayed her to stay but it was in the curse of causality that SK will eventually lose control of the berserker armour and be in the verge of dead, to activate the crimson behelit, in a fight against the demon king. I know there is this every x years a new member is appointed rul (which I never read in the manga itself) but then again there were a complete set of God's Hand that destroyed Gaeserics empire. I also want to point out that all of the current members of God's Hand might be as well exist since the downfall of Gaeseric's empire. IMO Void, the dude who controls space/time/dimensions etc., at some point for w/e reason sends current Guts in the past. For her majestic SK I find it normal since SK was meant to be the perfect King of the whole world just like Griffith now.
It's not that important. Then SK and Flora confronts the idea of evil not willing to follow its agenda.
But Void who has been tortured for 80 years has more than enough hate and malicious inside him and refuse to give up the idea of evil, he takes the crimson behelit and scapes, waiting for the next eclipse to happen.

I think that would be all. They win some battles but never really defeated completely Gaiseric.
This would explain the sacrifices in the bottom of the tower. And then there’s the Tower of Rebirth and the ruins of Gaiseric’s kingdom that lies at the bottom.
Afterall, he is a representation of his own psiche, and if he has a horse and a woman on it, that is also a symbol of what matters to him.You've got a point there and Iadded it in the list.First of all I want to thank you for contributing these interesting thought and I included some of your ideas in the "compendium". Here is how I think it may have happened.Skull Knight’s sword has thorns as hilt and a rose-like shape worked into the grip where it connects to the hilt.
