Berserk Without Kentaro Miura

[@thejadedeagle6729]

As far as I'm concerned, they live a long, happy life on that island. Isidro grows to be a legendary swordsman, worthy of inheriting guts' title. Farnise and Serpico find some sort of solace, and move on from the black swordsman, the island, and the struggle. Puck enjoys the rest of his existence, maybe with the witches, or with isidro. Schrizche becomes a master witch, and becomes the next teacher to the witches. And guts and casca? They get their happily ever after. The one they truly deserve. A quiet, happy life. No more demons to attack them. The God hand, far, far from their mind.

[@ADMG]

@@Deamons64 I think the same. I think that after the most epic battles, Guts defeats the God Hand, one by one, Griffith being the last one obviously. And after so much suffering and pain, Guts gets what he always wanted. A peaceful life with the love of his life.

The last message Miura has addressed to has fans years ago proves that there is so much more to the story than we know so far. But other than that.....

I never thought I was the type of person to cry over the death of someone I never knew. In fact, I thought that was kind of stupid. Im a 32 year old man who has been reading the manga for over 15 years. I woke up today and discovered the bad news. Got ready for work, drove to work, and as usual arrived early. I sat in the parking garage and waiting for time to pass by ended up watching a tribute video to Kentaro Miura with Gatsu as the background music. I broke down and sobbed. Sat in the parking garage in my car and sobbed over the death of someone I never met. He changed my life for years, and I so desperately wanted to know how it would end. Now I may never know how it truly was supposed to. I didn't realize how important and impactful his art was to me.

[@Mink0twink]

Dude same, same age and almost had the same experience. I knew this would affect me, but when I got stuck listening to the berserk theme music on loop for like 3 hours last night the realization that this isn't going to be a quick one I get over really sat in. I think for many of us Berserk was our #1 that was ongoing in the background of our lives. It was always a source of excitement because at any point you could hop on to reddit for the recent predictions of the future of berserk after a new chapter was released. You never had to think about it, Berserk was there for a you, it was your Rock. Now for the first time we must face the fact that that rock might be going away leaving a void. The story is still amazing for what it is but without the guaranteed progression of the series it can no longer provide the same stability as it did before. So not only did we lose a legend of an artist and the progression of our favorite story is at imminent risk on incompletion, part of our emotional foundation has been chipped away that can't be easily replaced. As mentioned in this video, I think there is a good chance we could see one or maybe even two more chapter published by the studio. Beyond that is a coin flip, but I think Kentaro's passing is going to be a call to action of people interested in the dark fantasy medium but were maybe on the ropes or looking for additional motivation for their projects. Don't be surprised if several amazing dark fantasy stories all of a sudden pop up in the market 5 to 10 years from now. Berserk and Kentaro have trained us for the moment, when shit gets real we must keep on struggling. Cheers

if the editorial team that was teached by miura will finish berserk for him I think it would be a great way to honor him. That truly would be a legendary legacy not only in the form of manga he created but also the skills he passed down to the editors

Kentaro Miura, we all love and appreciate the work you blessed us with, and we all will miss you, and deepest condolences to his family.

So sad to end on an Isidro Star Wars chapter.

[@paulandreotti1639]

The way Beserk contributed to my understanding of masculinity through art can't be understated. Mr. Miura was a man's man and I'm blessed I could enjoy his art, storytelling and learn from his wisdom of what it means to be human.

[@ordnaelshideout]

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

[@deanmccrorie3461]

If Miura did leave a conclusion to the story, I will be pleased with how it is drawn and finished. Why? One man gives me that confidence Hidetaka Miyazaki

What saddens me the most about it (ofcourse after Sensei Miura's death) is that even when the story continues and he told his student kind of about the ending, we will never see the direction of Miuras hand.. Like the exact final panels and so on

Guts dude if he worked with the other two, the manga industry would actually fucking break, itd be like the collaboration of a century with mangaka legends who helped build shonen/seinen to what it is now.

[@ImmortalXUchiha]

I don't think this will happen unless Miura left a note that said they are allowed to finish it. In the japanese manga industry the vision of the Mangaka is really respected and if not chosen before, there is low probability some one will just take the lead and do it. It's just disrespectful to the authors art for many.

[@kennyzia2795]

Edward Gaines I actually do agree with this idea. Not only because it's one of my two favorite mangas/anime (Beserk being the other one), but it's one of the only manga artworks that's closest to Berserk to my knowledge.

[@kennyzia2795]

@@ImmortalXUchiha that's understandable. But if it were allowed, I wouldn't mind the creators of Fist of the North Star to do it or Miura's assistants.

[@mephisto4130]

Kentaro Miura inspired me a entire novel and for this, I wish I could publish it and include a small text for his memory. Berserk has a soul, this is a masterpiece in all points. I loved his work, his passion and his style. Sad that he will never finish it himself...and show us the true end of this journey...

[@longbottomleaf6918]

Berserk is way to important to end. I would be immensely surprised if his team would not finish the story, not to mention we do know that he has extensive notes on the lore and ending of berserk. Such a massive loss to the manga industry and the world. Berserk is so influential that is has touched all forms of media. It may take a long time but I expect Miura's team will at least attempt to conclude the story. Miura himself admitted the story is about 75-80% complete.

[@buulaa1]

Of all the manga authors, Miuras passing was my nightmare scenario, there is nothing compares even close to the absolute masterpiece berserk is. I still recall being recommended the original animation just finding myself binging it hours on end and got instantly hooked on the manga.

[@AscendantStoic]

Life can be very strange, Miura's fav series of epic fantasy novels (and one of the inspirations for Berserk) Guin Saga also wasn't finished by its author, she died in her 50s in 2009 before completing it same as with Miura, but the story is still continuing today by other writers (same thing happened to Wheel of Time fantasy series of books, Brandon Sanderson who was a fan of the book continued the series after the death of the original creator), so there is still hope Berserk could still reach a somewhat satisfactory conclusion, if that's what Miura wanted after all.

[@Lamenter_A.G.K.T]

My father said to me when my grandmother died “don’t be sad that there gone be happy that they lived at all think of the good times because has long has you live the memories of them will never die.” I don’t know if this will bring anyone any semblance of peace of mind but it did for me so I will share it and hope that it help others.

[@rotemeno]

The day I read about his death I couldn't stop the tears... about a year and a half ago I tattooed on myself the brand of sacrifice as a symbol of survival because of the message that berserk brought into my life, no matter what hardship Guts handled, even after he got chased by hell in its entirety, he still managed to get on his feet and carry on with his journey... I see my hardships as a boulder on the way to success, another milestone, and even though hardships will continue to chase me my entire life I will keep on standing, keep on living my life to its fullest potential. Thank you for the master piece you wrote for us, I will forever be indebted to you because of the change you made in me.

[@deadhouse3889]

[@constipation4650]

Even if you have not heard of Berserk, you cannot deny that its now all around us. Majority of the modern internet culture, TV Shows and even games have been heavily influenced by such magnificence. Its now part of history, left to be remembered as time comes.

[@vla1ne]

Honestly, considering the scale of this manga, I want to hope that they take 2 different paths. 1) I want the first story to be a swift end to the series, give guts his ending with casca, and tie up as many loose ends as reasonable. Make it a conclusion for those who want the story to take that final rest. 2) I want the second branch to use a combination of methods like what stories such as gantz, did. Continue in the world, ignoring the first ending option, and try to carry the torch with as much respect to miuras original ideas and ideals as possible. Respectively, an inner peace conclusion, and a struggle conclusion. So that those who want to stop, can be give their conclusion, and those that wish to continue have some means to do so. it still wouldn't satisfy everyone, but it would be the best path to take imo.

[@ADMG]

The world lost one of it´s brightest minds and one of the greatest artists of our time. If Berserk continues, I believe Miura´s assistants would do a great job both in the story and in the art, but we as fanbase need to be patient and comprehensive. Anime/manga fandoms get toxic really easily, so we must not put more stress on them. Berserk might feel different without Miura, but if we get the continuation, we must be grateful and appreciate it, in honor of him.

[@OnionTaylorJoy]

I doubt they will continue without him. If there are notes available on how events will play out to conclusion, they should just release those.

[@savagemantis9060]

That would be noble, I'd love to get a book filled with his outlines/notes and some behind the scenes making of stuff that wraps with a memoriam.

[@zeonic_keys6375]

@@savagemantis9060 I can 100% see that happening. At the very least, In terms of getting some kind of closure, maybe they could do a 3 part 2-3 hour long film adaptation of everything after the last anime adaptation that includes a movie “anime original” finale that follows whatever information he left behind (if he did). That way the manga is not sullied, but fans still get SOMETHING of an ending after 30 years of reading.

We lost a Mangaka genius. I am saddened but also I can smile at least. His works brought me enjoyment and happiness and I hope it can continue to bring that to others.

Trying to continue the story where Miura left off is like giving a 4 year old child a crayon and telling them to adjust a masterful painting. This isn't no ordinary manga, this is Berserk. I personally think the story should be laid to rest along with its creator. It would be a disservice to try and continue this without Miura. It was his life long work.

But in turn, his work is basically his mind and when he's gone, Berserk is gone. R.I.P Kentaro Miura R.I.P Berserk

I'm regretful that I never got into berserk and manga/anime a little earlier than I have. I'm proud to say Berserk was the first manga I've ever read and also ever finished.
