The fact that Guts decides to pursue an equal relationship with Griffith after hearing the speech is what singles his relationship with Griffith out as unique. Everyone else in Griffith’s life is content to either look up at or down on him.
Even the Princess, his future wife, just marvels at the speech while literally looking up at him, rather than showing any desire to find a dream herself and become “worthy” of calling herself his equal. Because Guts is the only one who wants to genuinely connect with Griffith - who wants to stand beside him by achieving something of his own - Guts is Griffith’s only “true” relationship, the only relationship he has based on real affection and genuine desire for the person, and not just what he represents, either as a symbol of hope and achievement (for the Hawks), a symbol of security and happiness (for Charlotte) or a symbol of corruption and loss of power (for those plotting against him).
Which just makes it so wonderfully ironic that Guts is the only one who made Griffith forget his dream.
