Like boom, that's the end of Gavv. Stopped before it started.

Not to mention that Shoma being half-human/half-Granute is important because it makes him a total outsider for both sides. He's monstrous because of being half-Granute to humans, but he's a pathetic weakling (at the beginning) to Granutes. Let's not forget that even when he transformed for the first time against Hound, he still had some difficulty fighting him. A part of his journey is accepting that while on the surface, he doesn't belong to either world, that he has the right to create his own where he does belong, with Hanto, Sachika, Lakia, and Dente.

This really is just questioning something for the sake of questioning. And I hate this sort of question as a criticism. It's fine for fanfiction, but like, asking if a story would improve if a gigantic aspect of it was changed has way more ripple effects than people think. We'd get an entirely different story altogether.

In the smallest nutshell possible, the story practically requires Shoma to be half-Granute to even happen.
