Long story short, man's passed due to acute aortic dissection, which as far as my research went, is painful.

You can read more here.


And now for the schizo rant.

WHAT THE FUCK GOD

YOU COULD'VE TAKEN TOGASHI

YOU COULD'VE TAKEN KISHIMOTO

FUCK IT, TAKE ODA EVEN

FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

FUCK

fuck

fuck

...

...

At least he got Casca back.

I'm content with the final panel we got, actually.

The mystery of the moon child, getting Casca back, Guts finally reaching a resting point.

I think, to me, it's a weird, open-ended conclusion to wrap things up for, which is by NOT wrapping things up.

Is it a conclusion we all wanted? Fuck no.

But to be honest, for the world of Berserk, it's weirdly on theme here.

Griffith and his monster goons are lurking ever nearer, Casca's back but with a price, and Guts, as he ever was his entire life, is still struggling.

But at least he's got his companions. We may never know if Casca would truly look at Guts in the face ever again, or if Guts could finally put his sword down for good. He's gonna fucking die before his thirties anyway. Guy looks 40 at age 26.

But one thing we know is that Guts will be struggling, and like a cheesy message at the end of a B movie, like our favourite GATSU, we must move forward. Our past struggles and failures aren't obstacles to our goal, but trophies of our journey.

It's right in the afternoon but fuck it, I'm pouring one out for the man.

Godspeed Miura, you absolute bastard of a man. My blue balls will forever be a testament to your artistry.

And if you excuse me, I've got an Idolm@ster hentai spree to jack to, in the name of Kentaro.

I fucking knew it. I was always thinking that he could possibly die before finishing his masterpiece, and hoped that it wouldn't come true. But here we are.

I saw the news on Twitter and was gutted. I put reading the manga on hold cause I wanted it to be finished so I could binge the rest. Waiting for the uploads wasn't ideal for me. I could barely wait for Griffith to get wrecked.

My God, this is sad.

I didn't know the man, so it is hard to say I feel his death without feeling like a lying piece of shit, but when I think about the fact that I'll never get to watch Griffith get what's coming to him, I feel an almost homicidal rage.

I feel terrible for everybody in that world, a lot of characters will never get closure because the God of their world just died.

When I was like ten years old or something like that, my older sister made me watch a few animes. At first, I didn't like anime as a genre as something different from the usual cartoons. I started slowly getting into it when my parents got us a channel that was airing different animes. At first, it was something like shaman king, naruto, etc. And then berserk happened when I was approximately twelve years old. It was more than ten years ago. But I remember to this day the way I couldn't understand the ending. It simply left me stupefied.

My sister at that time stopped being into anime and manga, so I was left one on one with this. A few years later, watching different harem rom-coms as I was growing up I started reading manga. It started with a rather mild thing like the three big shounen mangas aka Bleach, One Piece, Naruto. And other things like that. When I was around fourteen or fifteen years old, I stumbled upon the manga version of berserk.

I was left emotionally scarred reading it.

For the rest of my life, I won't be able to patch the hole it made. I doubt anything would ever come close to the level Berserk affected me emotionally. The way Berserk affected me is to the point, that it's hard for me to even feel anything or get emotional in my daily life.

And now I'm left with another hole.

For me personally, Kentaro Miura is the greatest of all time. No piece of art since then has affected me as much. Reading this news, I simply didn't believe it at first. There were already few times when people spread lies that he died, but apparently, not this time.

Still, I can't just shrug this off. I would at least let out something that welled up deep inside me as I heard this news.

May Kentaro Miura rest in peace.
