Does Guts get revenge?

Did Guts defeat Griffith?

Yes, Guts did defeat Griffith in a duel during the "Golden Age" arc, specifically when Guts left the Band of the Hawk, but this was a moment of Guts surpassing Griffith's human form, not a final, world-altering victory; later, as the godlike Femto, Griffith holds power over Guts, and their conflict remains unresolved in the ongoing manga. Guts won that duel by being calmer and more focused, breaking Griffith's sword in a single, decisive blow, symbolizing Guts breaking free from Griffith's influence.
 

Will Guts ever forgive Griffith?

No, Guts hasn't truly forgiven Griffith; his feelings are complex, shifting from pure rage to a cold, enduring hatred mixed with profound loss and sadness for the friend he once knew, differentiating the monstrous Femto from the lost human Griffith, though forgiveness remains unlikely given the depths of Griffith's betrayal and crimes against humanity. While Guts's initial fiery revenge cooled as he focused on protecting Casca, the core wound from the Eclipse and Griffith's monstrous acts (Femto) remains, making genuine forgiveness highly improbable.

His pre-existing narcissism and viewing others as tools for his ambition, amplified by physical and mental trauma, set the stage for his demonic transformation, making him a being devoid of empathy, though traces of his past self sometimes appear.
