Berserk's Griffith Just Made His Biggest Mistake Since the Golden Age
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Berserk chapter 367!
Griffith's latest transgression in Berserk could threaten the powerful empire he's been establishing for a reason similar to why he initially lost control during the Golden Age. And that reason just so happens to be Princess Charlotte.
At the height of the Golden Age before he fell from grace, Griffith positioned himself to possibly gain a seemingly unending stream of success and prosperity. He won the favor of the king of Midland, captured the heart of the king's daughter Princess Charlotte and was regarded as Midland's savior for almost single-handedly defeating the kingdom's 100-year adversary, the Chudor Empire. But when Guts abandons Griffith to pursue his own dream, Griffith loses himself and foolishly tries to gain control of the situation by having intimate relations with Charlotte, an unfortunate development that leads to his immediate capture and torture.

But in chapter 367 of Berserk, which comes in the wake of the unfortunate passing of mangaka Kentaro Miura, Griffith appears to be setting himself up for a similar downfall. After infiltrating Skellig Island where Guts and his comrades have been resting, Griffith clashes with Guts and eventually manages to separate his opponent from Casca, all in an attempt to likely kidnap her. Although it's clearly plausible that Griffith is hoping to antagonize his foe and cause Guts to once again have something important ripped away from him, his plan will undoubtedly backfire because of Princess Charlotte.
The princess is clearly unaware of Griffith's past even though she's seen him cavorting with monstrous creatures including Zodd the Immortal.
