We were sad thinking about all the individuals who had died and couldn't see the end of Berserk. Now, they will be the first to know the end of this masterpiece. Thank you for the memories, Kentaro. May God rest your soul
It's amazing how we can feel so close to someone through their work. Berserk inspired countless artists, countless creators..and countless passionate readers. We might never see how the story of Berserk is resolved, and this is the end of Kentaro Miura's story as well. I feel lucky to have experienced some of his story. Rest in peace.
I'm hoping his assistants to whom he taught his style and hopefully the conclusion of the story can pick up the work, even if's not in the same form as it was originally planned
Lost my grandmother the day before I heard about Miura's passing. When it rains, it pours. Rest in Peace Miura and grandma Jackie, and thank you for this tribute, Zullie.
I told my father(age 72) of Kentaro Miura's passing today. He asked me, "How old was the man?" - "He was 54." - "He was just a child... how old was he when he started his magnum opus?" - "22 or 23, I'm not sure on the month. 1989." - My father shakes his head, "The brightest candles burn half as long."
Miura still have a debt which is to make a happy ending to guts, that man has suffered a lot. R.I.P Kentarou Miura the man, the legend. For his great work have inspired countless people in every media.
No offence, I see this quote used a lot but it's been taken out of context 😕 If you actually read that scene, Guts isn't trying to be comforting or anything
You don't even need to be a Berserk fan to fully appreciate what Miura has done to so many people . I really felt it in a way, he died young. Rest in peace...
It's wonderful how the dark souls community is also paying Respect for him. His work was just an inspiration for Dark Souls, yet everyone is compelled by both works and both creators. May he rest in peace.
I'm so sad of the fact that this talented man never got to finish his work even though he dedicated his life to it. I really hope and wish he's happy now...
There is still hope. Miura did spend the most few years of hiatus teaching his assistants to mimic his style. Even if the hope is small. I willaccept whatever will happen next.
@@ColdNorth0628 sometimes i wonder if this is the best way. Miura san was known for his OCD of starting projects all over again if he didnt feel it was perfect. Perfection is awesome, but sometimes it can be a hinderance to finishing projects and his case, his health :( In the hands of his assistants, it may actually finish. I also am pretty sure he has a idea of how he wanted to end the series. It just took forever to get there
@@timsohn7057 that forever aint over. His soul can guide the ending :') his assistants knew him well for this long so they know enough if berserk to give what they can. Heck i will take mimic art of what could have been like with what happened with vagabond.

I only finished watching this anime a few weeks ago, and I am already nostalgic about the music. This video coming out right now is such a weird timing...
The song was stuck in my head the day I heard of his passing, despite me never listening to it that day. I don't think I could've put myself through hearing it at the time. It was painful enough hearing it in my head.
Im 30 years old and i've seen a lot of animes, read a lot of mangas, especially the 90's-2000's wave. I played Dark Souls 1 for 1k+ hours when i discovered it, and at the time it was a real shock since how incredibly amazing it was. To this day, despite maybe Akira, Berserk is the best story/manga/anime i've ever been touched by. The manga, The 90's anime, the Golden-Age movies, the music, the characters, the depth and the poetry of this unbelievably brutal and unfair universe, man... I dont have words. Rest in Peace Kentaro Miura. Love and respect from France.

This quote made me cry. Because at this moment I do feel like Griffith... Proud, but now confused and struggling to come to the realization that Guts (Muira) is leaving my life and waking away from me and no matter what I do he will never come back to me. I cannot fathom a life without him and now I am an empty shell of my former self. This will be a tough recovery for me but I know life must push forward...
Yes I agree. That’s the reason as to why Griffith lost it and became genuinely depressed in the end. Griffith really loved Guts very much. He would not be his normal composed self at times. I remember that time when he got injured by Zodd and they were recovering in the castle. And Griffith said “Will you always be left doubting me? When I lay my life for you?” God I love that.
This is truly hearth breaking he was still young by today standards and he clearly still had plenty of ideas to draw, now Berserk will never be finished, no-one can step up and do it properly.
He was young by general standards, 54 wasn't really considered old in the past, thats just myths perpetuated by media. Most people lived to their 75-80s in the Middle Ages or in Antiquity (aside rare deadly plagues from the east, ex: black death, "Justinian's" plague) But still, gone too soon...

@@alexmag342 Love to see this. I recently read Civilized to Death, which talks at length about this. The whole "one scrape and you're dead" rhetoric is a bit of a reach. People were super hardy.
First, Miura passes away. then my grandfather passes away at the age of 87. Then literally on the same day of his funeral, I find out a friend from my school had died in a car crash...8 months ago, and I didn't know because I had purged myself from social media for a time. Trying to turn inward instead of looking outward constantly... And then of course, as I'm finally catching up on facebook to see what has been happening in my friends lives, on the same day mind you; I found out one of my marching band buddies also took their own lives. It is a pain i cannot describe properly with words so instead I'll tell you the physical result was. I had a complete breakdown at the end of 2021. No i didn't sob heavily or scream at the top of the hills in agony, i don't really cry much, But instead, had the worst panic attack of my entire life. I couldn't even move. I essentially fell on the floor, my heart rate had skyrocketed. My body felt tingly, I was cold, and I was alone. It stayed like this. Kinda thought I may be dying. But it passed and afterwards sitting up, alone on my livingroom carpet....think I realized something. I'm okay. This was just a more extreme version of the pain i felt when guts lost his friends. He lost parts of himself literally and figuratively just like i had lost my family and friends. I knew this pain at a less extreme level so surely, this too would pass. This pain. And I'll just pick I'll myself up again and keep walking. If berserk had not taught me to accept not only pain, but myself, I may have followed the same path. So Thank you Kentaro Miura. I will never forget your lessons.
As an artist myself, it is unmeasurable the feeling of having unfinished art but as a person, i can only imagine what his family is going through. Hope they are safe.
@DawgSlayer82 I was talking exactly about manga, cuz why the fuck I would say that Berserker went to shit from perspectives of anime or movie. There was nothing to went anywhere. It is the manga which kept feeding shit in preference of silly weeb fanboys,
@@qazweriopkoilj You have the writing capacity of a halfwit 10 year old, and you're critiquing Berserk. I'm not even a regular anime fan but just the way you structure your sentences triggers me. Go back to school and learn English, then return and state your opinion properly.
@@qazweriopkoilj You know if you're trying to be a contrarian at least be intelligent about it, there's nothing more stupid than someone who speaks volumes but ultimately have nothing to say anyways.. obviously Berserk isn't for you, but to try and discredit Years of work from an Artist who went on to inspire a lot of people is just incredibly immature.
This music has been playing in my head over everything I've been reading about Kentaro Miura for the past couple of days. I loved his work and will certainly miss what might have been. Rest in peace.
Hello Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial. On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people. While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there. I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes but don't you just hate it when people can't let go of your past mistakes. I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life. Can we talk?
I can’t stop thinking about him, and my heart feels heavy. Reading Berserk suddenly has so much more meaning. I don’t feel sad because the story will have no ending, but because I feel we lost someone brilliant. It’s so hard at times to see the human being behind the work, and as a fan of both Berserk and Hunter, I know how frustrating the wait can be at times. But their job is extremely demanding. Mangakas like him give so much of themselves to make this stories. The interviews about his early years are so hard to read. They damage their health in ways that cannot be repaired later. I don’t care anymore if Togashi never ends Hunter. Miura and him gave the world amazing moments, and they should be allowed to do things at they’re own pace. Rest is peace Miura. You will be missed.
@@kamilkaya5367 Miyazaki doesn't have Miura's intellect I'm afraid. Neither his blessed handwriting. I think it's better if the Black Swordsman continued on his journey without end, such as the proclaimed seekers of truth.
@@cheefqueef6494 too honor him that is, he may hire Miuras assitants or help his assistants to finish berserk since Miura tought them how to draw like his own style.
Berserk was a masterpiece beyond masterpieces. Very few manga can hope to compare to Kentaro Miura's magnum opus. It's a tragedy beyond words that he didn't get to see it finished. At the very least, his friend, Kouji Mori, will see to it that his vision is realized as best as can be done, but Miura deserved to see its realization with his own eyes, achieved by his own hands. Nonetheless, rest easy, Miura-sensei. Through your legacy and through the stories and lives you have inspired with your own, your struggle has made you immortal.
He is responsible for my favorite story ever and is also responsible for inspiring a lot of Dark Souls, one of my other favorite things ever. Rest In Peace Kentaro Miura, and thank you
His long lasting memory will forever live in his art, a true master of his craft. Only love and respect for one of the greatest artist ever lived. Shall Berserk be in my heart forever.
This was a great little tribute from the DS community to a man who not only helped shape the worlds of all of the soulsborne games but to someone who as a berserk fan has shaped my life
This is hitting me so hard today. I feel like I've lost a friend, and it feels simultaneously silly, and all too real. I mourn for Miura the artist, and I mourn for the characters I've grown to love.
Never has anything touched me as berserk did. The aesthetic is pure art, Truly heartbroken that you are gone and it will remain unfinished,it really was a masterpiece.
I'm sad to see somebody who put so much passion into his art is gone. Rest in peace Kentaro Miura, your struggle is over. We will continue to struggle onwards for you.
Dude. I just got into berserk just over a year now. It's crazy to think how this 1 man, was capable of such mastery with the stroke of a pen. I aspire to do great things with my life. Time is short guys. Just fill everyday with smiles & love & I guarantee your life & the people in it will reflect your happiness. You have the power to change your life.
Why did this come out just weeks after I finished watching the anime and began to realize how important it is...? Just enough time to have nostalgia over that music...
This man not only created a manga, a community, and new legends of storytelling. Bro created a whole genre, a whole reality. Kentaro.... you a whole legend man. Rest easy.....
I remember being in college around 2016 and stumbling accros Berserk. It was a difficult time in my life and reading about Guts' struggle and his perseverance despite insurmountable odds really resonated with me. I ended up getting the Brand as my first tattoo after college and have a sleeve I still want to get that would be Berserk themed as well. I loved reading Berserk and seeing how much it influenced so much of FromSoftware's work and beyond and I loved watching how Miura's style changed and improved as the series progressed. I am saddened by his passing and I hope that this incredible man died without regrets. Rest in peace Kentaro Miura.
cannot believe he basically passed on my birthday .. i will never see it the same way after this much love sir Kentaro and thank you for ever been part of our broken world may Berserk, the Black swordsman Guts, the Skull Knight and your whole Legacy live always till the end of our times and beyond thank you for been the Tolkien of a generation
biggest thanks to fromsoftware , even Miura-san already gone but they still put atleast 1 character in they new game elden ring.....R.I.P Kentaro Miura
@@chris6709 I'm not telling you to care, I'm telling you to respect the grieving time of people who do care. Also if you're so braindead that when faced with the death of an author who even expressed himself through manga comments how overworked he was (messed up sleep schedule, losing weight due to stress,etc) and died so young to ask for the future of a fictional work you aren't a fan, you're a piece of shit, hope the manga/anime industry takes conscience and doesn't overwork itself into oblivion.
It's a no brainer anyway, no matter what he left behind for young animal to finish the series with, berserk died with Miura, any fan should know this and just mourne the loss of an outstandingly great mangaka and his masterpiece.
That kinda ruined my week, man ☹ Rip Kentaro Miura God Bless Togashi and Oda and all other legendary artistists who work more than their health can take.
My eulogy: Inspired by the manga written by Yoshiyuki Okamura and Tetsuo Hara's Hokuto no Ken and the spiritual successor, Violence Jack, written by Go Nagai, as well as Kaoru Kurimoto's Guin Saga, with further influences from the directors and artists Paul Verhoeven, Clive Barker and Walt Disney, Hieronymous Bosch, M.C Escher, Gustave Doré, and Pieter Bruegel, we will never forget the legacy Kentaro Miura left behind too soon for the world. He has inspired several video game publishers, such as Hidetaka Miyazaki and FromSoftware's Dark Souls, Capcom's Dragon's Dogma and DMC, Square Enix' Final Fantasy, as well as animé and manga authors like Ryōgo Narita (Baccano!/Durarara!!), Yana Toboso (Kuroshitsuji), and Kazue Kato (Blue Exorcist). We love you, Miura-san. We will never forget you. Rest in peace.
As it stands, the ending of Berserk is that Griffith did in fact get to have his perfect life and his Kingdom without ever facing to justice, and in fact he has even made many people very happy in the process. Was Griffith justified for believing he could create a more beautiful kingdom than anyone else? Was it worth sacrificing the lives of the Band of the Hawk? And what can we learn from Guts? Our last memory of Guts is that he never gave up on his friends or betrayed them, and he even succeeded in bringing Casca back to life and saving her soul. Guts is the one true honorable man in Berserk, and no matter what Griffith ever does or ever says, Griffith will always be forced to accept that Guts was the better man, as he received no deus ex machina or special power granted to him... there is only one struggler who survived it all on his own, the Black Swordsman, the Hundred Man Slayer, Kentaro Miura's >>>>> GUTS!!!
I aknowledged this now and by your video. I started reading berserk just 2 months ago and i nearly completed it. the author was a genious and people this talented are rare as perfect gems. I wish i will draw good like him one day
I had heard of Berserk in the past, but never really thought much about it. A friend of mine had gotten me into the Souls community a few years ago, and I heard from numerous people it was heavily inspired by Berserk. I’ve never been much of an anime/manga fan, but a few weeks ago I decided I’d give Berserk a shot and I absolutely fell in love with it. It was a wonderfully crafted work of art, but sadly it may never get an end now. I’ve been drawing for years and have great respect for other artists, and this is no exception. RIP Mr. Miura, may your soul rest peacefully.
It's admirable how everyone pays respects towards him, being his work so taugh and maybe not fit for all the publics, yet loved by many as the best work of manga ever created, myself included. I think what we all loved about him is the fact that que imprinted so very well his thoughts and visions into his work that yet, not knowing him, we all feel like today it's a tragic day. I didn't noticed till now but I think about Berserk almost daily, and from now on it will be tad bitter to think of it, yet not at all less amazing. You really did great, Miura, we will all miss you.
A final word if you will..... Be safe on your travels to wherever they may be. Long may the sun shine in your direction and remember this, don't you dare go hollow.
yeah its somewhere in limgrave i believe close to where the fallen golems are, its a hill of swords except the swords are guts' dragonslayer, and in the middle theres a giant version of it
This private guy connected with do many people through his art, I sometimes wonder what he really thought or how he felt to make such a raw, human work as Berserk.
The unfinished Masterpiece. Rest in Peace Kentaro Miura.

Rest in peace Kentaro Miura, your inspiration will live on
First, Miura passes away.
then my grandfather passes away at the age of 87.
Then literally on the same day of his funeral, I find out a friend from my school had died in a car crash...8 months ago, and I didn't know because I had purged myself from social media for a time. Trying to turn inward instead of looking outward constantly...
And then of course, as I'm finally catching up on facebook to see what has been happening in my friends lives, on the same day mind you; I found out one of my marching band buddies also took their own lives.
It is a pain i cannot describe properly with words so instead I'll tell you the physical result was. I had a complete breakdown at the end of 2021. No i didn't sob heavily or scream at the top of the hills in agony, i don't really cry much, But instead, had the worst panic attack of my entire life. I couldn't even move. I essentially fell on the floor, my heart rate had skyrocketed. My body felt tingly, I was cold, and I was alone. It stayed like this. Kinda thought I may be dying.
But it passed and afterwards sitting up, alone on my livingroom carpet....think I realized something.
I'm okay.
This was just a more extreme version of the pain i felt when guts lost his friends. He lost parts of himself literally and figuratively just like i had lost my family and friends. I knew this pain at a less extreme level so surely, this too would pass. This pain. And I'll just pick I'll myself up again and keep walking.
If berserk had not taught me to accept not only pain, but myself, I may have followed the same path. So
Thank you Kentaro Miura. I will never forget your lessons.
Stay strong, my friend ❤
As an artist myself, it is unmeasurable the feeling of having unfinished art but as a person, i can only imagine what his family is going through. Hope they are safe.
Berserk went to shit anyway, so you can consider it was finished already.
@DawgSlayer82 You're just silly weeb.
@DawgSlayer82 I was talking exactly about manga, cuz why the fuck I would say that Berserker went to shit from perspectives of anime or movie. There was nothing to went anywhere.
It is the manga which kept feeding shit in preference of silly weeb fanboys,
@@qazweriopkoilj You have the writing capacity of a halfwit 10 year old, and you're critiquing Berserk. I'm not even a regular anime fan but just the way you structure your sentences triggers me. Go back to school and learn English, then return and state your opinion properly.
@@qazweriopkoilj You know if you're trying to be a contrarian at least be intelligent about it, there's nothing more stupid than someone who speaks volumes but ultimately have nothing to say anyways.. obviously Berserk isn't for you, but to try and discredit Years of work from an Artist who went on to inspire a lot of people is just incredibly immature.
This music has been playing in my head over everything I've been reading about Kentaro Miura for the past couple of days. I loved his work and will certainly miss what might have been. Rest in peace.
You inspired an entire game genre, none of your work will ever be forgotten. Rest in Peace
His work was so profoundly in touch with humanity. His voice will be sorely missed.
This is just depressing, 54 is still so young... I wish his family get all the strength and support they need during this time.
Hello
Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial.
On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people. While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there.
Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there. I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes but don't you just hate it when people can't let go of your past mistakes.
I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life. Can we talk?
@@fightermma bro....
@@LargeInCharge77 sis...
@@fightermma bruh whut?
@@fightermma i m a man. This isnt my phone
I can’t stop thinking about him, and my heart feels heavy. Reading Berserk suddenly has so much more meaning.
I don’t feel sad because the story will have no ending, but because I feel we lost someone brilliant.
It’s so hard at times to see the human being behind the work, and as a fan of both Berserk and Hunter, I know how frustrating the wait can be at times. But their job is extremely demanding. Mangakas like him give so much of themselves to make this stories. The interviews about his early years are so hard to read. They damage their health in ways that cannot be repaired later.
I don’t care anymore if Togashi never ends Hunter. Miura and him gave the world amazing moments, and they should be allowed to do things at they’re own pace.
Rest is peace Miura. You will be missed.
May this inspire Miyazaki to continue his vision...
I hope Miyazaki will finish the Berserk's story. He is the only one that can do that.
@@kamilkaya5367 Miyazaki doesn't have Miura's intellect I'm afraid. Neither his blessed handwriting. I think it's better if the Black Swordsman continued on his journey without end, such as the proclaimed seekers of truth.
@@cheefqueef6494 too honor him that is, he may hire Miuras assitants or help his assistants to finish berserk since Miura tought them how to draw like his own style.
if miyazaki read something like berserk i doubt he'd appreciate it
he already has qualms with the rest of the anime industry
@@johnxina7496 lets just hope and wait if Miura left some notes to his assistants to finish berserk.
Berserk was a masterpiece beyond masterpieces. Very few manga can hope to compare to Kentaro Miura's magnum opus. It's a tragedy beyond words that he didn't get to see it finished.
At the very least, his friend, Kouji Mori, will see to it that his vision is realized as best as can be done, but Miura deserved to see its realization with his own eyes, achieved by his own hands.
Nonetheless, rest easy, Miura-sensei. Through your legacy and through the stories and lives you have inspired with your own, your struggle has made you immortal.
He is responsible for my favorite story ever and is also responsible for inspiring a lot of Dark Souls, one of my other favorite things ever. Rest In Peace Kentaro Miura, and thank you
His long lasting memory will forever live in his art, a true master of his craft. Only love and respect for one of the greatest artist ever lived. Shall Berserk be in my heart forever.
This was a great little tribute from the DS community to a man who not only helped shape the worlds of all of the soulsborne games but to someone who as a berserk fan has shaped my life
Fuck, this hurts. I wish he could've lived to finish his absolute masterpiece. At least now the weight on his shoulders is lifted
This is hitting me so hard today. I feel like I've lost a friend, and it feels simultaneously silly, and all too real. I mourn for Miura the artist, and I mourn for the characters I've grown to love.
RIP Miura. Guts means alot to us and the whole series as well. Thank you for the inspirations you unknowingly gave to Miyazaki.
Rest In Peace, Kentaro Miura. You and your unfinished masterpiece will not be forgotten.
Never has anything touched me as berserk did. The aesthetic is pure art, Truly heartbroken that you are gone and it will remain unfinished,it really was a masterpiece.
Absolute legend may he rest in peace now...
Farewell, good hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.
I'm sad to see somebody who put so much passion into his art is gone. Rest in peace Kentaro Miura, your struggle is over. We will continue to struggle onwards for you.
Dude. I just got into berserk just over a year now. It's crazy to think how this 1 man, was capable of such mastery with the stroke of a pen. I aspire to do great things with my life. Time is short guys. Just fill everyday with smiles & love & I guarantee your life & the people in it will reflect your happiness. You have the power to change your life.
just started last week
like the anime and I am exited to start the manga
He moved on to the big hiatus in the sky . . .
May he Rest In Peace and his work never be forgotten
He sailed away, hopefully to a better place.
Why did this come out just weeks after I finished watching the anime and began to realize how important it is...?
Just enough time to have nostalgia over that music...
I think Kentaro would tell us to struggle onwards.
This man not only created a manga, a community, and new legends of storytelling. Bro created a whole genre, a whole reality. Kentaro.... you a whole legend man. Rest easy.....
I remember being in college around 2016 and stumbling accros Berserk. It was a difficult time in my life and reading about Guts' struggle and his perseverance despite insurmountable odds really resonated with me. I ended up getting the Brand as my first tattoo after college and have a sleeve I still want to get that would be Berserk themed as well. I loved reading Berserk and seeing how much it influenced so much of FromSoftware's work and beyond and I loved watching how Miura's style changed and improved as the series progressed. I am saddened by his passing and I hope that this incredible man died without regrets. Rest in peace Kentaro Miura.
cannot believe he basically passed on my birthday ..
i will never see it the same way after this
much love sir Kentaro and thank you for ever been part of our broken world
may Berserk, the Black swordsman Guts, the Skull Knight and your whole Legacy live always
till the end of our times and beyond
thank you for been the Tolkien of a generation
man hearing guts theme today really hits home
Now we lost akira may both rest in peace 🕊️❤️
He's amidst the bonfires now. Warming the wanderers that pass it by, giving them the warmth to continue on.
biggest thanks to fromsoftware , even Miura-san already gone but they still put atleast 1 character in they new game elden ring.....R.I.P Kentaro Miura
Rest in peace great warrior! 😢
Rest in Peace, Miura. Also want to add this is not the time to ask for Berserk's future, if you only care about that at least wait a little
RIP Miura. But nobody cares for what you have to add, what will happen to berserk it’s a question every fan want to know and it’s ok to ask.
@@chris6709 I'm not telling you to care, I'm telling you to respect the grieving time of people who do care.
Also if you're so braindead that when faced with the death of an author who even expressed himself through manga comments how overworked he was (messed up sleep schedule, losing weight due to stress,etc) and died so young to ask for the future of a fictional work you aren't a fan, you're a piece of shit, hope the manga/anime industry takes conscience and doesn't overwork itself into oblivion.
It's a no brainer anyway, no matter what he left behind for young animal to finish the series with, berserk died with Miura, any fan should know this and just mourne the loss of an outstandingly great mangaka and his masterpiece.
@@nailtoolofamusement yeah definitely but it's better to be edgy in the internet i guess
Yeah, I'd have to wonder what kind of a fan they are, anyway, if they'd actually be satisfied with anything but Miura's own work.
Gonna miss his artistry. Truly a pedigree all his own than is hardly matched by anything else.
That kinda ruined my week, man ☹
Rip Kentaro Miura
God Bless Togashi and Oda and all other legendary artistists who work more than their health can take.
Thank you Miura! For not only granting us Berserk, but also for being the grandfather for Soulsborne.
I'm sure he's playing Idolmaster in the great beyond now.
He will truly be missed.
My eulogy:
Inspired by the manga written by Yoshiyuki Okamura and Tetsuo Hara's Hokuto no Ken and the spiritual successor, Violence Jack, written by Go Nagai, as well as Kaoru Kurimoto's Guin Saga, with further influences from the directors and artists Paul Verhoeven, Clive Barker and Walt Disney, Hieronymous Bosch, M.C Escher, Gustave Doré, and Pieter Bruegel, we will never forget the legacy Kentaro Miura left behind too soon for the world.
He has inspired several video game publishers, such as Hidetaka Miyazaki and FromSoftware's Dark Souls, Capcom's Dragon's Dogma and DMC, Square Enix' Final Fantasy, as well as animé and manga authors like Ryōgo Narita (Baccano!/Durarara!!), Yana Toboso (Kuroshitsuji), and Kazue Kato (Blue Exorcist).
We love you, Miura-san. We will never forget you. Rest in peace.
Extremely based post. RIP Miura-sensei
Thank you for this video Zullie. May Miura rest in peace and long live his legacy.
One of the greatest stories ever told 😭 RIP
What a shame rest in peace you were one of the great guys
So were you bro
As it stands, the ending of Berserk is that Griffith did in fact get to have his perfect life and his Kingdom without ever facing to justice, and in fact he has even made many people very happy in the process. Was Griffith justified for believing he could create a more beautiful kingdom than anyone else? Was it worth sacrificing the lives of the Band of the Hawk?
And what can we learn from Guts? Our last memory of Guts is that he never gave up on his friends or betrayed them, and he even succeeded in bringing Casca back to life and saving her soul. Guts is the one true honorable man in Berserk, and no matter what Griffith ever does or ever says, Griffith will always be forced to accept that Guts was the better man, as he received no deus ex machina or special power granted to him... there is only one struggler who survived it all on his own, the Black Swordsman, the Hundred Man Slayer, Kentaro Miura's >>>>> GUTS!!!
PREACH THE GOOD WORD BROTHER!!!
Sad to see someone go at 54. All the best to Kentaro Miura wherever he is~
It’s been nearly 2 days and it gets harder and harder to cope. Hopefully he is remembered like Michelangelo
Life as a masterpiece. Incomplete yet all the more beautiful for it. Rest well beautiful soul.
He's out there now, beating the shit outta Griffith.
I aknowledged this now and by your video. I started reading berserk just 2 months ago and i nearly completed it. the author was a genious and people this talented are rare as perfect gems. I wish i will draw good like him one day
A legend has left this world.
R.I.P Miura
R.I.P. his works were inspirational and entertained countless people, Kentaro Miura-san you'll be sorely missed.
rest in peace franku sama😞
Was watching Prod’s stream when the news broke. May he rest in peace
I had heard of Berserk in the past, but never really thought much about it. A friend of mine had gotten me into the Souls community a few years ago, and I heard from numerous people it was heavily inspired by Berserk. I’ve never been much of an anime/manga fan, but a few weeks ago I decided I’d give Berserk a shot and I absolutely fell in love with it. It was a wonderfully crafted work of art, but sadly it may never get an end now. I’ve been drawing for years and have great respect for other artists, and this is no exception. RIP Mr. Miura, may your soul rest peacefully.
Rest in Peace, Miura. Now you are able to reunite with Judeau, Corkus, Pippin, and the rest of The Band of the Hawk.
It's admirable how everyone pays respects towards him, being his work so taugh and maybe not fit for all the publics, yet loved by many as the best work of manga ever created, myself included. I think what we all loved about him is the fact that que imprinted so very well his thoughts and visions into his work that yet, not knowing him, we all feel like today it's a tragic day. I didn't noticed till now but I think about Berserk almost daily, and from now on it will be tad bitter to think of it, yet not at all less amazing. You really did great, Miura, we will all miss you.
A final word if you will.....
Be safe on your travels to wherever they may be. Long may the sun shine in your direction and remember this, don't you dare go hollow.
dont worry guys hes now part of the astral world viewing guts in his struggle to defeat the impossible
I have a gut feeling that Berserk will be on a cliff hanger. Rest well i hope. You will be missed.
I've never felt this much grief and shock. Rip to a truly talented legend.
He was, to me, the greatest mangaka of our time, and one of the greatest to ever live.
His vision really cannot be understated. He crafted truly nightmarish and beautiful art. This is truly a tragedy. God rest his soul.
Rest in peace Kentaro Miura. I will never forget your work as long as I breathe.
Learning and reading about berserk definitely changed my life for the better, truly a great loss
Man, now i'm hollow at all... rest in peace Miura-sensei
A full year now without the GOAT, rest forever in peace and here's to a never ending legacy.
Bro that bgm gives me goosebumps😭😭
Man, this guy changed so many lives. Rip.
There needs to be a tribute to him in Elden Ring. A tribute somewhere special
There is!
yeah its somewhere in limgrave i believe close to where the fallen golems are, its a hill of swords except the swords are guts' dragonslayer, and in the middle theres a giant version of it
There are, more than one, all scattered through the lands between
In Caelid, you can get his sword.
This private guy connected with do many people through his art, I sometimes wonder what he really thought or how he felt to make such a raw, human work as Berserk.
Everyone launch up your Guts cosplays. Tonight, we toast to the fallen.
