And its not even close, the goat. Rest in everlasting peace with your friends, family and the many fans that passed before their time. Forever in my thoughts
STOP giving this guy likes on his comments! He comments around 1000 Videos a day and is always in the top comments THIS CAN'T BE A COINCIDENCE! I don't know what trick he's using but it needs to stop, so STOP LIKING HIS COMMENTS! Other ppl also deserve to be top comment!
He died too soon, I’ve never cried so much for a man i’ve never met, it’s so heartbreaking. Rest In Peace Kentaro Miura. Thank you for making my life and everybody else’s better.
I've been reading Berserk since 2009. The story of a man struggling against the overwhelming tide of fate was so elemental and beautifully executed, that all I can be is grateful for every page Miura crafted for us. The example of Guts has helped me fight against depression and loss, making it the most important work of art I've enjoyed in my lifetime. I'm so glad that we managed to get Casca back, it's important that he was able to reach that milestone. Also, his last panel being the Moonlight child is somewhat fitting and it's allusions to what was to come further drives home the epic scale of what Miura had created. Thank you Kentaro Miura for inspiring so many to keep struggling.
R.I.P The Legendary Mangaka himself. Kentaro Miura & Berserk continue to be an inspirations & admirations to millions of people including myself. Stay Strong Strugglers...
@Jonathan Chiarkas I don’t understand why you guys give attention to such an obvious troll, do you just lack the awareness that you’re doing exactly what he wants you to do?
Farwell Kentaro Miura will be missed, condolences to his family you never be forgotten by generations of Berserk fans, you are the greatest artist and writer of your generations and will be remembered countless times.
Such a long time on this inspiring, rollercoaster of a journey, almost two decades and many memories attached to it. This really hurts... it really is incredible how the work of an author who barely showed his face can be so impactful to me and so many people. We've lost a truly brilliant mind. Rest in peace Kentaro Miura, you absolute legend.
Berserk inspired a lot of things. Dark souls series especially due to the theme of being a struggler in a land that is always out to get you. You fight endlessly to see if there will be an end. Wandering endlessly, struggling endlessly till dawn. The light of the sun is that hope that through this struggle that tomorrow will come and a brighter future will be. Berserk tells of a man defying death at every corner, struggling to get by another day as his presence brings death to those around him and others which is why he must fight. To see a better tomorrow and protect the one's he loves from the horrors of the overshadowing threat of death at every corner. May you rest in peace Kentaro Miura. Thank you for everything you have done. You inspired many including myself with your Manga, with the story of Guts and his struggle to survive and protect casca. His purpose and dream of preserving his loved ones and defying death is inspirational. Thank you so much.
The fact that my mind immediately went to the same panel as yours did upon hearing this news (which I'm trembling, as this is the first I've heard of it), is a testament to why we all love this series so much. As much as he denied it, we all know that Miura wrote himself as Guts. Not as a mercenary, of course, but as a person who walked away from paths that others set for him, regardless of the outcome. A man who lived his own dream, so that even when he fell, on a seemingly regular day, he can say that what he achieved was truly his own, and not merely given to him or permitted by someone else. I'm feeling so many things right now, so I'll leave it at that. A truly special artist, and man, whose work will live on until the end of time. Rest in peace.
If he knew about his condition this puts the idea of evil and Casca's heart curse in a whole different context. R.I.P Miura, we don't know how lucky we are to have been able to experience your masterpiece. Rest now Struggler
If you are a man of self reflection, everyone's had that moment like in the background picture. Maybe either defeated or in utter happiness but you lay there looking up like... this is life. Fitting for reflecting on Miura's death
I'm shocked... My favorite Mangaka of all time. He created a world which was so unique and against everything normal. He had a huuuuge influence on me. His style of drawing is exactly what I like the most and the dark mood of the world and all. The authentic Characters. I can't believe he's gone. I'm so sad that berserk will never end now. I wish all the best for his family and friends!
Why did it have to be this way? I love Berserk, I love this author, he made me look differently about life, I'm so heartbroken and sad, thank you Kentaro Miura for creating a masterpiece.
I am so sad now , I learned this morning that he is gone ...and now its just ..I dont want to believe it..thank you for share with us your feelings.I felt sadness in your voice .Rest in peace Senpai ,you always be loved.Goodbye...
The thought that we will never hear the end of the story breaks my heart. It's like a huge, enticing question hanging in the air and the world will never be able to answer it. Don't know what else to say. Godspeed, Miura Kentaro, and thank you
That is so sad that his lifes work will go unfinished :( Or worse be taken over by someone who doesen't have the same vision or passion as he did. Damn...damn
I remember reading the wounds chapter for the first time. It was early 2020. I was stuck at home of course. I was overweight and drinking too much and losing motivation faster than I was losing money to the booze. I read berserk religiously. I always had the guts theme playing while I read. because that's what led me to berserk. I sat outside on my deck at night and was so deeply affected and inspired by the story and by Guts' character in particular, I started changing my life. I went to the gym, I became more driven with my work (novel writing) and I fell in love with someone I never took the time to truly look at before. Is it crazy to say that this story changed me and affected all my decisions the past few years? Is it crazier to say Berserk made me who I am? I don't think so. Not too crazy at all. Thank you Kentaro Miura, for introducing me to Guts.
I woke up to the news and can safely say that it does not feel real. Ever since sophomore year of high school in 2018, Berserk has been one of my favorite pieces of media. It has influenced my standards for art and story. I have had a wonderful time following Berserk throughout these three short years. Thank you Miura for dedicating your entire life to creating such an influential masterpiece. Rest In Peace
My older brother shows me this series when I was like 10 but. I was very young so he only let me watch the anime but when I got older I finally was going to buy the manga and right when I start getting invested, the author dies😔😔. I don’t even wanna finish the manga anymore bro
Kentaro gave us the roadmap to struggle properly: 1- Forge meaningful friendships rooted in reciprocity. 2 - Be willing to learn from capable allies. 3 - Be willing to teach to those who would truly listen. 4 - Confront evil fearlessly, within yourself and others. 5 - Carry a big fuckin Sword.
I don't know what to say. I can't put words behind how I feel right now, so I'll use Kentaro's masterful writing in an attempt to convey these feelings. Here are some quotes that I believe fit the situation: "While many can pursue their dreams in solitude, other dreams are like great storms blowing hundreds, even thousands of dreams apart in their wake. Dreams breathe life into men and can cage them in suffering. Men live and die by their dreams. But long after they have been abandoned they still smolder deep in men's hearts. Some see nothing more than life and death. They are dead, for they have no dreams." "FUCK YOU! I'm human, the real deal, right down to the fuckin' marrow of my bones!" "I will never forget about you. On this road of unfulfillment, I still stand alone... Like a wounded bird, I endure the rain with grace." "The stronger the light the darker the shadow." RIP Kentaro Miura. You truly understood the depths of the human spirit and were a pure human being. Forehead to forehead, I love you struggler.
I woke up to this news and wished I was still dreaming. Sadly, though, I was not. I've been reading Berserk for 15 years now, it's accompanied me for more than half my life and shaped it quite much. It's heartbreaking to see such a talented artist suffer such a premature death. He definitely massacred himself with work, sleeping very little, taking close to no pauses during his earliest career. He went from an extreme, this one, to another, the year-long hiatuses (and they were fairly understandable). All that stress probably caused his death. I believe that Berserk's greatest lessons have been taught already: we humans are capable of bearing immense burdens and keep struggling on. Berserk is not just dark fantasy and horror: it's a tragedy, and a cathartic one. We, as readers, tossed our expectations onto Miura-san, "like a bonfire of dreams". Now the tragedy is onto us, and it's our time to band together and struggle. Miura's legacy will live on forever
I am in the anime comunity for a few years now and rivalries of some manga was always going on. People tried to gets it favourite manga as the best over the other, but I never ever met anyone who read Berserk saying it was less than a masterpiece. Yes, there are good mangas but a classic is still a classic. Rest in peace, Kentaro Miura, the one who build the path for strugglers as yourself to keep moving forward no matter what. #ThankYouuKentarouMiura
I cant believe it. I become huge fan few months ago and this was something special for me, and now it happend. It seems like some bad dream for me right now, i just opened TH-cam to watch some funny stupid videos...
“You’re going to be all right. You just stumbled over a stone in the road. It means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this. Doesn’t it? I’m sure you’ll overcome this. You’ll walk again... soon.” - Guts #thankyoukentaromiura
Kentaro miura, my highest respects to you man, you taught me more on how to live and how to be than anyone else ever did, RIP you struggler, my highest gratitudes to you and what you achieved, Thank you
Lets struggle together to the end everyone, yes we may be all sad not knowing what to do but looking at the love shown towards Miura Sensei. I say we lift our heads up n continue to change our lives for the better as a sign of a respect knowing how he impacted us ❤️
Rest in Peace, Kentaro Miura. I don't have much to say about the whole situation, but what I will say is that he was a very talented individual who allowed many people to enjoy his work that went on for decades; he is truly among the greats. A large thank you for dedicating so much time, passion, and effort into Berserk. So many people alongside myself are grateful for it, and once again thank you for the time placed into the series as a whole. In the end, he did what he wanted to do and never gave up. I'm sure he had ups and downs with his project, but even then, he stayed with it for years. (Repost of what I said on Twitter.)
RIP SENSEI. He taught us so much. His work was there for us when nothing else was. I can't stop the tears man. 全世界の大ファンからのメッセージ： 安らかに眠ってください、先生！お疲れ様！！！
His work as made a mark on me that will stay forever, his work as influenced the way i look at life, the way i deal with things and most important of all my personal work/story writing. I can only express gratitude for everything he has done, the blood and sweat he has poured so he could make our lives a bit better. For that, thank you Master Miura and i hope some day i'll get to meet you in the otherworld.
RIP KENTARO MIURA guy worked himself to death, heres snippets from articles in the magazine berserk was published in where he talks about his health: I came down with a high fever of 40 degrees Celsius. Thinking about it, I've only had two days off this year. (1993, No. 12) I've lost five kilos without doing anything. I wonder why? (1993, No.21) In the past two months, my average sleep time has been less than four hours. Now I'll be Mr. Satonaka soon. (No.23, 1993) Since I moved, my average sleep time has been less than four hours. I'm going to go gammu. (1994, No.16) I had a day off for the first time in a month and a half, and when I went out, I got heatstroke! (1995, No. 17) I went to Okinawa for my first big holiday as a manga artist, and spent two and a half days out of four suffering from heatstroke. (1998, No.19) My first big holiday as a manga artist was to Okinawa. (No.21, 2002) My days off are half days every two months. I haven't had two days off in a row for four years. I'm getting tired of it. (No.23, 2004) I collapsed again from overwork. I missed Gwynn's Hundred Great Books. Ugh! (2005, No.9) It's the first time in my life that I've come down with a cold twice in one month. (2007, No.5) I'll be 27 years old in July. Looking back, 27 years full of cartoons, is this what you want? (1993, No. 14) It's the same every year, but I'm working on Christmas and New Year's Day. I want to eat Osechi once in a while. (1994, No.3) I had a day off for the first time in a month and a half, and when I went out, I got heatstroke! (1995, No.17) After a movie, I always go to the Loiho next to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building for a review meeting with friends and stay there until the first train leaves. (1996, No.1) I bought some clothes and shoes for the New Year's party. I only have two pairs of sneakers. (1996, No.2) I'll be 30 in July, and looking back, I've been drawing comics like Kintaro candy. (1996, No.12) In a month and a half, I was only able to go out for two hours to have dinner at Jonathan's. A petite recluse? (2001, No.24) If I don't see people for a long time, my mouth won't work properly. (2002, No. 7) My thirties are almost over. My life is a mess, with nothing but manga. But I can't take it back now, so I'm going to keep going! I'm going to stay indoors again this year. (2006, No.3) After all, I'm not going to stay indoors because I'm lonely. (2006, No.4) I've been too busy to go out for a week, and chocolate has become a precious food for me. Thank you very much. (2006, No.6) I drew soldiers all the time during my absence. (2007, No. 3) Two-thirds of my body is made up of calorie mates. So does that mean that 2/3 of Berserk is provided by Otsuka Pharmaceutical? (2009, No.19) I couldn't see cherry blossoms with the naked eye even once this year. (2011, No.10)
I'm glad he shared such a beautiful and harsh world with us, that we got to learn about the happiness and struggles of Guts, and I'm very grateful for how much he dedicated to this masterpiece, it still feels unreal to me that he's gone but I sincerely hope he's resting in peace
Gone, but never forgotten. Even if berserk doesn’t receive a proper ending, his work touched the hearts of millions, and the story he crafted is a monument to the human spirit and imagination. Rest In Peace.
Nice respectful video. I only just started berserk and yet I teared up when I heard the news of his passing. I give my condolences to his family and friends. Thank you Kentaro Miura for your Beautiful mind and inspiring many of the things I love.
Casca will always be the best female warrior, realistically characterized, in a dark medieval fantasy setting. Thank you, Kentaro Miura, and goodbye. 😞
Kentaro Miura was a legend, a genius and inspiration. He worked and gave his life to something from an other world. It gives me tremendous sorrow that he is no longer with us and I couldn't finish his Magnum Opus "Berserk". I was thinking of Johann Sebastian Bach last work was "The Art of the Fugue" Contrapunctus XIV Fuga a 3 Soggetti. It was left unfinished with a question, not even a form of Cadence. Just a reflection in my mind. I always listen to Bach while I'm reading Berserk and I will continue to do that the rest of my life. Guts is right, "He died doing what he wanted, no matter what right?" I bet he was happy. Both Kentaro Miura and Johann Sebastian Bach died happy doing what they wanted. I want to believe that because it makes me happy. 💙🌸🕊🌸📃✒📃🌸🕊🌸💙
So sad. :( One of the greatest to ever do it. I was actually shocked to learn he was only 54 with the amount of work he produced. Such a huge loss. RIP
Berserk is one of the greatest written and drawn works of humanity. Mr.Miura was an example of dedication, humility and discretion and it is an honour to have lived at the same time. Sayonara spiritual father.
None of us will ever forget the incredible spirit of this man. Berserk kept us struggling forward through life, no matter the odds. I only hope that Miura knew just how special him and his creation were to so many. RIP you legend
I haven't read or watched Berserk, which is a damn shame since I've heard from multiple people how much of a treasure it is. My mother is a big fan of the series going all the way back to the 90s and based on the panels I've seen while browsing through a volume or two at the book store, Berserk felt like it had something few other manga had: it was bloody, it was action-heavy, it was heart-felt, but most of all it was amazing. It was absolutely amazing from just the few panels I've seen and the few clips I've seen of the anime seem to have done the series justice. Farewell, Kentaro Miura. Hopefully, you died doing what you loved most.
We feel the same, stunned... Nothing but Respect for the man who defined dark fantasy to us. It has been part of our lives, it will continue to inspire... Thank you Kentaro Miura for the best manga. I feel lucky to experience it. "My brother" theme will unite us time n time again. Thank you for the tribute
I discovered berserk about 5 years ago , I watched every rendition of berserk I could and also read the manga 3 times ... I've related to guts in many ways in both emotions and parts of his backstory, an abusive father figure , a dead mother, being molested, becoming a soldier. I've understood the coldness guts has and growing past it and opening up to people like the band of the hawk. Miura made me feel understood , I felt a deep connection to these characters and I'm so grateful to miura for that . He was a truly amazing, iconic and influencal story teller, artist and human being. Thank you miura , you will not be forgotten , you will be deeply missed... I'm currently serving overseas for the UN and I am crying about a man I never met and I dont think anyone understands why, but I'm grateful for the community and fanbase miura established because we all understand what miura and his creation meant to each of us dispute never having met the man. It is sad he's gone , but let's remember to be happy we ever had him in our lives at all. Much love kentaro... Rest in peace. And thank you
While we take the time to mourn the loss of a legend let us also remember that "To be a Berserk fan is to struggle". So to partially quote the great Skull Knight himself, "Struggle, endure, contend. For that alone is the sword of one who defies death. Do not forget these words." As long as we continue on, Miura and the impact Berserk had on our lives will live on through us. I'm thankful for every bit of it and the community I got to experience in my life.
Berserk has changed so many of our lives over these years, and for some, it has even been our sole saving grace. Miura poured everything he had into this story, and it will forever go down in history as one of, if not the best, manga ever written. I don't remember where this quote came from, I think it has been warped over the years, but it went something like this: "People die three times. The first is when their body and mind cease to function. The second is when they are consigned to the grave. The third is when their name is forgotten. Some people only face the first two. Isn't that beautiful?" Miura will never face the third death, and will forever be remembered for generations to come. Rest in Peace forevermore, Kentaro Miura.
This will leave many feeling empty, I hope those who were going to, are or have read his story, read it once more to give your final farewell to Kentaro Miura. I'm sad I will never get to see his story end but sadder that he won't be able to complete His work and see it done for himself. If they have the whole script for Berserk I hope they continue with his dream. Even if it isn't done by him. Atleast seeing what he wanted to accomplish, I believe, would be an amazing way to respect him. So that his completed work is solidified in history and the hearts of others to keep his memory alive. May your soul rest well, you were and will continue to be loved by many. Thankyou, Kentaro Miura.
4 days to go until we see final pages of his work 😑😶😭RIP Miura.No words to describe how we all are feeling right now🤔 kinda of like guts after eclipse 😔
RIP The greatest of all time.

RIP Kentaro Miura. You truly understood the depths of the human spirit and were a pure human being. Forehead to forehead, I love you struggler.
I woke up to this news and wished I was still dreaming. Sadly, though, I was not.
I've been reading Berserk for 15 years now, it's accompanied me for more than half my life and shaped it quite much.
It's heartbreaking to see such a talented artist suffer such a premature death. He definitely massacred himself with work, sleeping very little, taking close to no pauses during his earliest career. He went from an extreme, this one, to another, the year-long hiatuses (and they were fairly understandable).
All that stress probably caused his death.
I believe that Berserk's greatest lessons have been taught already: we humans are capable of bearing immense burdens and keep struggling on.
Berserk is not just dark fantasy and horror: it's a tragedy, and a cathartic one.
We, as readers, tossed our expectations onto Miura-san, "like a bonfire of dreams". Now the tragedy is onto us, and it's our time to band together and struggle.
Miura's legacy will live on forever
Put your glasses on another great has fallen.
I am in the anime comunity for a few years now and rivalries of some manga was always going on. People tried to gets it favourite manga as the best over the other, but I never ever met anyone who read Berserk saying it was less than a masterpiece. Yes, there are good mangas but a classic is still a classic. Rest in peace, Kentaro Miura, the one who build the path for strugglers as yourself to keep moving forward no matter what. #ThankYouuKentarouMiura
I cant believe it. I become huge fan few months ago and this was something special for me, and now it happend. It seems like some bad dream for me right now, i just opened TH-cam to watch some funny stupid videos...
He inspired me to draw, rest in peace legend
Rip legand
So sad he is gone 😢 Berserk has had a huge impact on me. One of my favorite series to this day.

R.I.P Kentaro Miura ♥
Rest in Peace, Kentaro Miura.
I don't have much to say about the whole situation, but what I will say is that he was a very talented individual who allowed many people to enjoy his work that went on for decades; he is truly among the greats.
A large thank you for dedicating so much time, passion, and effort into Berserk. So many people alongside myself are grateful for it, and once again thank you for the time placed into the series as a whole.
In the end, he did what he wanted to do and never gave up. I'm sure he had ups and downs with his project, but even then, he stayed with it for years.

I'm glad he shared such a beautiful and harsh world with us, that we got to learn about the happiness and struggles of Guts, and I'm very grateful for how much he dedicated to this masterpiece, it still feels unreal to me that he's gone but I sincerely hope he's resting in peace
Pain.
This series has been a part of my life for about 16 years.
never cried like this ever in my life after hearing his death
I know it's early, and it's not good for anyone, but I'll be taking a shot of whiskey for Mr. Miura. It'll stop the tears from flowing
Gone, but never forgotten. Even if berserk doesn’t receive a proper ending, his work touched the hearts of millions, and the story he crafted is a monument to the human spirit and imagination. Rest In Peace.
Nice respectful video.
I only just started berserk and yet I teared up when I heard the news of his passing. I give my condolences to his family and friends.
Thank you Kentaro Miura for your Beautiful mind and inspiring many of the things I love.
Casca will always be the best female warrior, realistically characterized, in a dark medieval fantasy setting. Thank you, Kentaro Miura, and goodbye. 😞
RIP the Greatest RIP...so sad man ...so sad
This actually made me feel ok a little bit now.
Thank you
Even tho I have never read Berserk,I can Respect the Author,Rip 😔
Kentaro Miura was a legend, a genius and inspiration. He worked and gave his life to something from an other world. It gives me tremendous sorrow that he is no longer with us and I couldn't finish his Magnum Opus "Berserk". I was thinking of Johann Sebastian Bach last work was "The Art of the Fugue" Contrapunctus XIV Fuga a 3 Soggetti. It was left unfinished with a question, not even a form of Cadence. Just a reflection in my mind. I always listen to Bach while I'm reading Berserk and I will continue to do that the rest of my life. Guts is right, "He died doing what he wanted, no matter what right?" I bet he was happy. Both Kentaro Miura and Johann Sebastian Bach died happy doing what they wanted. I want to believe that because it makes me happy. 💙🌸🕊🌸📃✒📃🌸🕊🌸💙
I've been a fan of Berserk since 2004. This is just awful. RIP
R.I.P.
Rip
Thank you for making this commemoration.
And thank you Kentaro Miura for letting me experience a Fantasy unlike any other.
So sad. :( One of the greatest to ever do it. I was actually shocked to learn he was only 54 with the amount of work he produced. Such a huge loss. RIP
Berserk is one of the greatest written and drawn works of humanity.
Mr.Miura was an example of dedication, humility and discretion and it is an honour to have lived at the same time.
Sayonara spiritual father.
I have the feeling that somehow the last 2 pages os berserk chapter 360 predicted this tragedy...
None of us will ever forget the incredible spirit of this man. Berserk kept us struggling forward through life, no matter the odds.
I only hope that Miura knew just how special him and his creation were to so many.
RIP you legend
I haven't read or watched Berserk, which is a damn shame since I've heard from multiple people how much of a treasure it is. My mother is a big fan of the series going all the way back to the 90s and based on the panels I've seen while browsing through a volume or two at the book store, Berserk felt like it had something few other manga had: it was bloody, it was action-heavy, it was heart-felt, but most of all it was amazing. It was absolutely amazing from just the few panels I've seen and the few clips I've seen of the anime seem to have done the series justice.
Farewell, Kentaro Miura. Hopefully, you died doing what you loved most.
Final fantasy 7 remake should make a berserk game. They can make cloud. So they can make guts.
some joke about it to deal with it, they joke, since that's what they always did, it's their way of life... r/berserklejerk
We feel the same, stunned... Nothing but Respect for the man who defined dark fantasy to us. It has been part of our lives, it will continue to inspire... Thank you Kentaro Miura for the best manga. I feel lucky to experience it. "My brother" theme will unite us time n time again. Thank you for the tribute
I discovered berserk about 5 years ago , I watched every rendition of berserk I could and also read the manga 3 times ... I've related to guts in many ways in both emotions and parts of his backstory, an abusive father figure , a dead mother, being molested, becoming a soldier. I've understood the coldness guts has and growing past it and opening up to people like the band of the hawk. Miura made me feel understood , I felt a deep connection to these characters and I'm so grateful to miura for that . He was a truly amazing, iconic and influencal story teller, artist and human being. Thank you miura , you will not be forgotten , you will be deeply missed... I'm currently serving overseas for the UN and I am crying about a man I never met and I dont think anyone understands why, but I'm grateful for the community and fanbase miura established because we all understand what miura and his creation meant to each of us dispute never having met the man.
It is sad he's gone , but let's remember to be happy we ever had him in our lives at all.
Much love kentaro... Rest in peace.
And thank you
While we take the time to mourn the loss of a legend let us also remember that "To be a Berserk fan is to struggle". So to partially quote the great Skull Knight himself, "Struggle, endure, contend. For that alone is the sword of one who defies death. Do not forget these words." As long as we continue on, Miura and the impact Berserk had on our lives will live on through us. I'm thankful for every bit of it and the community I got to experience in my life.
Berserk has changed so many of our lives over these years, and for some, it has even been our sole saving grace. Miura poured everything he had into this story, and it will forever go down in history as one of, if not the best, manga ever written.
I don't remember where this quote came from, I think it has been warped over the years, but it went something like this:
"People die three times. The first is when their body and mind cease to function. The second is when they are consigned to the grave. The third is when their name is forgotten. Some people only face the first two. Isn't that beautiful?"
Miura will never face the third death, and will forever be remembered for generations to come.
Rest in Peace forevermore, Kentaro Miura.
This will leave many feeling empty, I hope those who were going to, are or have read his story, read it once more to give your final farewell to Kentaro Miura. I'm sad I will never get to see his story end but sadder that he won't be able to complete His work and see it done for himself. If they have the whole script for Berserk I hope they continue with his dream. Even if it isn't done by him. Atleast seeing what he wanted to accomplish, I believe, would be an amazing way to respect him. So that his completed work is solidified in history and the hearts of others to keep his memory alive. May your soul rest well, you were and will continue to be loved by many. Thankyou, Kentaro Miura.
4 days to go until we see final pages of his work 😑😶😭RIP Miura.No words to describe how we all are feeling right now🤔 kinda of like guts after eclipse 😔
