That sort of thing could easily be some distraction tactic. Guts has dealt with flashy fighters before, namely Silat.
Secondly, the Dragonslayer has totally cut through magic before. Remember when Guts fought the Demon Sultan? He was made out of fire, and the Dragonslayer hurt him.[/quote]

That's because it's anti-demon, not anti-magic. Apparently cutting through apostles like butter makes it even easier to cut through them.

And when it comes to 'getting involved with the rest of the RP at all', I've always held to fudging accurate characterisation as more important than trying to fit events to the characters. Especially when you need intimate knowledge of an enormous manga to actually begin to try and work out what [i]might[/i] possibly not get a vicious response, given that your choices are 'far too advanced technology that seems like magic' or 'magic'. <.<
