I agree. I thought the scene was erotic in a dangerous and artistic sense, because of what it represented between Guts and Griffith (two soldiers, and how Casca was basically the battlefield and Griffith was 'raping' and conquering the land), but it wasn't HAWT. HAWT to me was like...Guts and Griffith being gay together every two seconds, or Guts and Casca's lovemaking scene ♥

I hated the death of all of the Hawks ahahah the anime made me cry hardcore :B but the manga had it even sadder for me. That part of the manga was just heartbreaking, but what was even worse was seeing Guts afterwards :\ and how heartless and fucked up he became.
