He doesn t. He s trying with all the good intention. That said i m one of those who thinks the story should have ended with Miura. Hate is not acceptable anyway
@BingeArt That's what haters do, consume the "subject" they hate so they'd have ammunition to continue hating. They call something shit but they keep eating it up. (Well I guess they didn't have to digest it 😅)
Some of the new chapters already demonstrate that difficulty, being very visual conducted and lacking dialogues for many consecutive panels. But again it just reiterates that it will be an incomplete work as Mori himself stated. As long as we get some closure to the story I'll be happy too.
I don't think so. Berserk is over 30 years old, yes the characters have changed but they have been hardened into who they are, now is the test of mettle. The most important dialogue the series has seen since wounds is Rickert speaking to Guts next chapter. After that it is action that will speak for us as Guts has always done.
The first couple chapters they had were very sparse in dialogue which had me worried, but the chapters with Casca in Griffith's castle and the chapter where Guts has a mental breakdown on the boat were both very emotional and dialogue heavy. Those two chapters proved to me that they can write fantastic dialogue that stays true to the characters.
Huge respect to Mori; dude lost his best friend and by all accounts has done everything in his power to respect Miura’s wishes regarding Berserk by continuing it in a way that will be as true as possible to what Miura wanted. The statements he’s put out show nothing but respect and admiration for his best friend, and I think besides Miura being alive and writing it himself, this is the best possible outcome for the story.
I absolutely love all his manga, he was one of my top 5 mangaka, before i even knew he's friends with miura, so even if he would add his own style a little I would probably love it
@@preternatural9417Ok gonna answer your questions: 1. The port, you mean how impossible is to believe that there is a port in a place that was changed completely even to the point of restructuring the land after falconia appeared (out of nowhere might add), is it really hard to believe that the place where falconia (the perfect city) is currently has a port? 2. "Zodd showing up through the world tree without explanation", yeah it's not as if it was previously shown that Griffith could travel anywhere he wanted and bring people with him through the world tree, and yes I know Griffith was there as the child before Zodd showed up, but is it really that difficult to assume that Zodd as an apostle of Griffith can also travel through the branches of the tree whenever? I mean if we are gonna call that arbitrary then everything that Griffith does is arbitrary because the plot (called destiny) is literally in his favor he has done things we thought impossible out of nowhere, really not that difficult to believe that an apostle can travel through those branches, this is not contradicting anything the story has put out, the branches are shown to be like tubes you can use to fast travel, never stating only Griffith can use them. An apostle being a super natural being may use them as well whether it is because Griffith allows it to or because they understand how it works. 3. "The elders not defending their land". Well first, everything happened really fast, there wasn't even time for anyone to move from one side of the island to another, it was already destroyed in a matter of a couple minutes, add into that that none of the people living there ever thought of getting attacked, the island was thought to be a safe Haven impossible to reach by ill-intentioned beings. Even if they could have done something we had a whole arc seeing how this people would not even considerate or know how to attack or defend themselves, that includes the Storm monarch btw, she could have done something I agree but the destruction of the island happened too suddenly and abruptly for her to react on time. The Storm monarch felt the presence of Griffith and all she could say is "it's all happening too suddenly" and literally 2 pages later the island was already falling apart. 4. About Isma's mom, why is that so important? For all we know she couldn't reach the island on time, we don't know it's not breaker of the story, if anything it's a nitpick at most. 5. "Destroying the place, no explanaition", yeah it's not as if it was one of the only places in the world that he couldn't reach and could pose a threat against him, if given them enough time and resolution, yes they were pacifist, yes they were not prepared, yes they probably would've never done something against Griffith, but with a person that has complete control in the world destroying one of the only places you can't control and eliminating the threat even if that threat would've never done something against you only makes complete sense. Even if that wasn't the case, since when has Griffith given his real explanations of why he is doing what he is doing? Since he came back none of us know for sure what are his plans, we can only guess by what he is doing. 6. "Puck and ivalera not desappearing". Dude, do you know what a mystery is? The characters don't know either and they also find it weird, we don't know and that's because the story won't give you those answers right away, that's the point. 7. "Spending several episodes where guts' part of the plot only consisted in crying and whining over his sword not hitting Griffith and not even thinking of casca?" ARE YOU SERIOUS? At this point I'm doubting if you understood the character of guts, I'll break it down to you. The reason why he is crying is because he couldn't protect the only person from his past that he had left. The reason why he is crying about his sword is because since he was a baby the only thing that accompanied him and the only thing he could trust to solve his problems is his damn sword, he is not crying because the sword didn't work, he is crying because when he needed it the most to protect casca it didn't work. The part where guts says to himself "all of this was for nothing" do you really believe he was talking about his sword? NO, it is the fact that guts is thrown into despair because he was proven that the only thing he has been reallying on since almost birth couldn't protect the most important person in his life, that is what destroyed him, his world shattered, what's the point if the only thing he is good at couldn't save her, couldn't save any of them from Griffith? This time it broke him because at eclipse at least he could take her out of there and he survived by fighting, now not only he couldn't do that, but she was taken and he could only watch. Jesus man I felt like I explained a really obvious joke, it feels wrong to explain this because it's pretty much in your face if you paid attention to how guts is constructed. I will say this, the visual storytelling is not as good and at times a tat confusing. I also appreciate that the attack is purely against what kouji is doing and not against his persona, so you have my respects my friends, but your comments seem to be looking for reason to hate because kouji is not Miura which is the problem.
As long as it's Miura's actual story, even if Koji only knows the major plot points, I'm more than fine with it. If he and Gaga have to piece it together and fill in a few blanks, I appreciate the hell out of them for it. I feel they're getting better and better every chapter.
I feel like this was the expectation, it was always unlikely we were going to be able to get a perfect replica of the story based on a memory of a conversation from over 20 years ago
I had read somewhere that Koji himself had said he is only offering to help with story elements he has first hand knowledge about. He will not speculate or make things up on his own
i think its akin to the state of the world, this kind of thing destroys how special the creators view was, if anyone expects something better is kidding themselves... this should be left alone. the message is stronge as it is. Look at all your remakes or additions... please dont..
@@rumplstiltztinkersteintbh I always thought of Mori as more of like guts and Miura as Griffith (a good version lol). Mori was more akin to a struggling artist that had to really push himself through some terrible hardships to reach success wheareas Miura was more of the gifted genius that had a grand idea for what become one of the best mangas ever conceived.
I don’t think haters really understand how lucky Berserk’s fandom have been. First time they were lucky cause there is life-long friend of Miura who listened from him about this story for 30 years. Second time they were lucky when this friend happened to be not lawyer or pilot but mangaka. Third time they were lucky cause he even decided to finish the manga despite all the pressure (considering how big and unique this story is). And with every new chapter I can tell they continue to improving with every aspect of the story, I’m happy we still here and going forward after Miura’s death. I wish Studio Gaga and Kouji Mori the best and hope they end Berserk on the highest note possible.
now im not a hater and have been enjoying the continuation, but I definitely would not say the berserk fandom is lucky, I mean miura literally passed away before finishing the story.
@@ozyssah He means lucky as in there is actually someone suitable to complete the series even if the original creator passed away. There are a lot of stories that don't ever get an ending, or someone comes in and fcks up the story (good example is the Dune series). They are lucky in comparison to pretty much every fandom that had its artist pass away.
If I want anything from the assistants it’s for them to not solely imitate Miura. I want to see them become great too. Because even though Miura can never be replicated, that doesn’t mean we can’t find something great afterwards.
Definitely. I still think they should closely follow what Miura has set up and try and continue to push whatever message/conclusion he wanted, but they should put some of their own personality and emotions into the work too. It shouldn't be robotic and stiff, I think they deserve to improve and create a voice of their own to finish Berserk.
Like Guts said when Casca fell in the sea "I guess even if you force back what was lost.....It still won't be the way it was." but that's alright, we can reply on people and not do things on our own.
That quote is always in my head since it was announced that berserk would continue. When reading reading the newer chapters, I often think about how Miura would have done it, but then I realize that that isn't a fair comparison. No matter how hard anyone tries, we will never know how Miura would have done it, but that's okay. The story is in the right hands, and however awful this situation is, atleast berserk is still going, even if it's not what it could have been.
@@istvankeri6688Similar to how I felt when I watched Star Wars in it's current state. I always wonder what George Lucas would've done with the sequels even though he is still around to watch them burn.
I just hope he doesn't die before finishing. Imagine that happening in a few years. We get close to the finish line but then Mori dies and now there is no one left on Earth who knows the ending.. that would be sad.
What you believe in "knock on wood" or fengshui or something? Saying or writing something does not make it real, just ask the people who wrote the bible and the quran xD@@capo3oh169
As you said Kouji Mouri is probably the best person for the job. I like the idea of berserk continuing if it’s fumbles we can just ignore it if it succeeds and continues to be good it will be a fully completed magnum ops and be the manga equivalent of Mozart requiem.
He’s passing the torch to his most trusted friend to carry on his legacy. Nobody is more suited than Kouji. The story continues and I’m excited to see where it goes!
I really respect you and admire your love of Berserk. I also love Berserk and feel that Kouji Mori and Studio Gaga are doing an excellent job under the tragic circumstances. It was extremely devastating for me personally to hear of Miura's passing. That Kouji is continuing it is nothing short of heroic. I think Miura would be happy to know his life's work is continuing on to its conclusion. Best wishes to them and to you.
I do think that the post-Miura chapters and Mori's afterword here best justify why Berserk needs a quality anime adaptation. Not just some okay-to-good Golden Age adaptation again, a 100% faithful adaptation of the highest caliber. Give people something to be hyped about, give people the experience of witnessing Black Swordsman, Conviction, Lost Children, etc. in anime form. All the while, allow the team to revisit these recent chapters and see if anything additional could be done to improve on them or flesh them out if they felt the need to do so. It would also make Miura-Berserk to Mori-Berserk much less of a jump, since you'd keep whatever anime style they'd go with for Fantasia. Definitely a long shot, but that's what I'm personally hoping for. I want Berserk to succeed and for Mori & Studio Gaga to stick the landing, and it's an uphill battle for sure.
We will probably never get a faithful anime adaptation unless it's adults only rating and we all know that companies are scared for something that won't make money
Such a beautiful friendship, can't even imagine the pressure this guy is under, not only from fans but mostly himself As much as I am critical of the new chapters quality ultimately I think we are better for having them and being able to see the ending for Miura's story
I am getting emotional, the story of their friendship seems really authentic, there is no place for any hate if Mori tries to finish his friend's story
People will literally find ANYTHING to cry about. Its as simple as reading up until Miura died & then you stop reading. Most people are like me & want to see the journey reach the finish-line. Miura most likely gave them a guideline to finish & most likely knew he wasn’t going to be able to finish the story due to health problems long before his passing. I don’t think Koji would even attempt to finish the story if Miura didn’t want that. Thank you for sharing this with us Ryan.. we appreciate you & all your hard work.
Good video, man! Frankly, it angers me how people assume the worst of Koji Mori and Studio Gaga for continuing "Berserk" to honor Miura's wish to finish his life's work; if it feels wrong for them because it is not penned by Miura, fine, but that is not a license to speak ill of Koji Mori and Studio Gaga, whom Miura confided and vetted with great care, or to shame those reading what Koji Mori and Studio created because they want closure to a narrative so inspiring and engaging. Personally, Mori and Studio Gaga, talented and respectful, proved to me that they are worthy of carrying Miura's legacy.
How he, and the team, are keeping Berserk alive, should be showered with praise, and the utmost respect.. nobody can match what Miura has done, but man, the love, and passion is still there- you can tell with each panel, each piece of dialogue, you know it’s all from a place of love, admiration, and trying their best to follow in the footsteps of the legend.. anybody else would’ve failed miserably, because Berserk isn’t your common manga, it’s layered like Monster, and Vagabond, which has to be emotionally, mentally draining.. along with the expectation of us fans, it has to be stressful.. ppl that are disrespectful towards him, and the team, is nothing but wrong.. I’m happy, and blessed, that the series is still going.. Miura left in his hands for a reason, let us appreciate it..
I was legit getting scared, Fuck the ultra-purists. Mori and Studio Gaga are the closest thing to the people who knows Miuras story for Berserk. I need to see this story end before I die. I cant live knowing that it might get cancelled man. Id be super depressed. Bless Mori and Gaga!
Kouji Mori has an incredible background and career. His skill alone is unparalleled, and if he was chosen by Miura himself to continue then that's all there is to it. At the end of the day, he is simply bringing Miura's vision to life posthumously. I can't think of any of my homies that would even consider the same for myself. The fact that this is even happening is incredible.
Kouji definitely is a real one. He's doing something for his friend that he really didn't have to, and it's essentially an impossible task and I think so far what he's produced is high quality. Obviously not the same, but given the shitty situation, he's doing a great job imo.
Berserk will never be the same without Miura, that's a given and something I've accepted. However, I strongly believe this series is in the best possible hands. I respect the hell out of Kouji Mori and Studio Gaga for seeing Berserk to its conclusion. It's not going to be perfect nor the entire story, but it will hit those major beats Miura planned out. So far I'm really enjoying this continuation and I'll see it until its end. The strength of Berserk for me has always been the characters and the themes. If Kouji Mori and Studio Gaga continue to do well on that front than I'm a happy camper.
@preternatural9417 It does. Guts hit rock bottom because he couldn't hit Griffith and save Casca. He will get better, though, as he speaks to Rickert and Daiba.
@preternatural9417 Farnese and Casca are nothing compared to Griffith/Femto. Berserk is NOT a shounen where everybody fights everybody. Your reasoning is weak.
@@preternatural9417 No, you didn't explain sh*t. You were projecting. Farnese's magic power is WEAK, she can't do sh*t to Griffith. If you were her you would stand there helpless too. Not everybody can actively fight evil. THAT is true to human limits, not characterization issue. You know sh*t, dude.
@@preternatural9417 It's not complex yes. Farnese took care of Casca but she could only look after Casca, that's it. Also, she stood and watched HELPLESSLY. She knew she couldn't do anything. Besides, she has been living in peace on Elf Island, Casca's kidnapping is a shock to her. Oh, sure, like Schierke's magic was gonna be of use against something like Femto. You just love that shounen sh*t, don't you? Like I said, it doesn't have to be a fight every time. They were taken by surprise, they could do jack and sh*t. And lol attacking Zodd while the whole island falls apart. Great priority, just like yours. You could have saved yourself the energy to do something better instead of being mad about Mori's decision to continue Berserk. You are a tourist and your "opinion" doesn't matter. Most things Mori and Studio Gaga did is fine and will help pave the way for future chapters. You don't like it, you can kindly f*ck off. We don't need you around airing out your "opinion".
Its super reassuring that they know the endpoint of the story. I remember reading a Miura interview years ago where he revealed that he was already working on the ending.
I don't personally dive deep into fandoms and what everyone's opinions are. I have my own due to my connection to Berserk. I can understand others would be upset with the circumstances, and that's fine. I think Mori-san has enough of a connection to the work to merit trying his hand towards the ending. I hope volume 42 and onward do well enough support to Studio Gaga's efforts.
People who are new berserk fans here, I can say that it's amazes me how berserk creator friends is keeping his friends memorie going throughout these tough times without him. Time heals all wounds, and wish him the best in finishing berserk story how much we appreciate his time & effort time & time again.... R.I.P Miura... your story will be heard & finished in your memory: from 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
I just lost someone I loved dearly, more than I even knew until it was too late. Seeing what he is saying about miura and how he wants to continue his legacy means a lot more to me now. I don’t believe this to be anything other than love and friendship and it’s one of the nicest things a person could do for someone. People can be beautiful, if only we all tried. A pity. I’m happy he and the team are finishing the story though, god bless Miura.
Definitely feel like people want to chuck the baby out with the bathwater over the new chapters. Yeah, it's not Miura, but so far they've been really interesting. The guy's studio is working their ass off, they're not just cashing in on the name.
This takes me back to about 12-13 years ago homeless living on the streets or at a shelter eating shit ass food and staff that were like cruel jailers a system of bullshit and turmoil and one of those few things that kept me going was a new issue..and still after all that I'm finally off the streets Im still here with that hope.
In terms of completing a dead author's work, this is probably the best scenario you can hope for besides a literal pile of papers that outline every detail of the story with trusted parties to faithfully put it together (more or less happened with Wheel of Time's author). So far, from what i have seen in the post-Miura works, it looks like the group will do a great job in completing the series with all things considered. The interview reinforced the notion that the group are committed in doing things right to the best of their abilities. If folks dont care much for that, then they can pretend that the story ended with Griffith shedding a tear. However, i am on board to see this great story reach its conclusion.
If there is one guy you can trust it ahould be his best friend and Im really happy with the last chapters and if you dont want another author finish it, just stop reading it and make peace with it.
I can't imagine how much strain he is under, even just self imposed. Many men would break under that pressure, but now that we've had several Mori chapters, he's doing about as good a job as anyone on earth could possibly do given these circumstances. I'm behind him for the long haul, he's doing a noble thing finishing his friend's story and trying to do it justice
"Mook" is a combination of the English words "magazine" and "book", often referring to guides or fanzines relating to a particular subject. For example, the magazine Gamest would include mooks dedicated to certain games (often containing character move lists, concept art, developer interviews, etc.) in their issues. For Berserk, there were a set of self-published mooks called "Berserk Freaks" from the mid 90's. One issue in particular from 1996 where Miura is interviewed while working (a work-in-progress manuscript of chapter 92 is visible on his desk) is the origin of the few infamous black and white images available online for many years. Mori is saying he was thinking of making a guidebook for the rest of Berserk's story and its conclusion where what he remembers would be explained alongside accompanying illustrations.
Thank god Berserk has a publisher that values the creator more than the IP. I'd imagine if Marvel owned Berserk, they would've had a field day whoring the franchise out after his death. I'm still hurt about Miura's passing but I'm also excited to see this series get a conclusion. If this franchise can cross the finish line then I'll be estatic.
20:42 I was aware of Berserk my whole life, and I knew it was good, I just didn't gave it a shot because whatever. Got into Berserk back in 2020 amidst the pandemic, one year prior to Miura's passing. Kouji Mouri deserves all the possible praise in this world, may god bless him wherever he goes !!
↓ translation of Kouji Mori's afterword (google translation, with my minimum correction) Thank you very much for picking up Berserk volume 42. From here on, it's Berserk without Miura. Of course it will be incomplete. I think some people find this difficult to accept. Even I have that feeling. As a manga artist and a fan, I am a fundamentalist and admirer of Miura. However, as someone who was closest to Miura and a close friend, I cannot ignore the story that Miura tried to write. I ask for your forgiveness. Gaga's staff and people in charge are all doing their best to preserve Miura and Berserk. Each volume that will be published from now on is a crystallization of these thoughts. Everyone who loves Berserk. Please keep an eye on them! And if possible, I would be happy if you could support them so that they can run to the end. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone involved in Berserk and to everyone who loves Berserk. ↓original sentence ベルセルク４２巻を手に取っていただき本当にありがとうございます。 ここから先は三浦不在のベルセルクです。 当然不完全なものとなるでしょう。 受け入れがたいと思う方もいらっしゃると思います。 私自身でさえその気持ちがあります。 一漫画家として一ファンとして私こそが三浦原理主義者であり崇拝者なのです。 しかし三浦の一番近くにいた者として親友として、三浦が描き上げようとした物語を放っておくことは出来ません。 どうか許していただきたいと思います。 ガガのスタッフや担当の方々は皆、三浦をベルセルクを残そうと必死に頑張っています。 これから刊行される一巻一巻はそういった思いの結晶です。 ベルセルクを愛する皆さん。 どうか彼らを見守っていて下さい！ そして出来れば最後まで走り切れるよう応援していただけたら嬉しく思います。 ベルセルクに関わる全ての人々、ベルセルクを愛する全ての人々に感謝の気持ちを込めて。
I feel like the addition of the older godhand by Miura was his last practical joke on his friend,like hey I’m going to open up this can of worms and have Mori deal with it!
We don't even know what that was if it indeed were the old god hand members, it was a vision that Guts saw from the past there's no real specific details on what really took place there. And how's that a joke by him drawing the vision from the past? Your point seems vague and not connected to anything at all.
@@Ulvmannsskjebne dude obviously I was joking however it does seem obvious it was an older god hand with Void inaugurated as the 5th newest member,meaning it opens the possibility of godhand dying however I believe this is more due to the fact that a godhand has a fixed term rather than someone killing them,this had the potential to be a huge plot line,potentially the biggest in berserk,so the fact that Miura did this a few months before he died has left Mori and Gaga a lot more work had that chapter not happened! Pretty much all I was trying to say with some slight humour!
the fans are hating for a reason, the level of Detail isnt there, their making 1 chapter per 1 month, miura took 1 year to make 1 chapter, was putting sistine levels of chapel of detail into his art.
Nonsense. Kouji Mori's Berserk has better art then Miura's Berserk at the beginning. Yes, after 5 years of doing Berserk, Miura's art improved beyond belief. But Kouji Mori's Berserk will also improve after years of experience.
I love the fact that they were best friends and Mori is on par with Miura's storytelling and art style, couldn't ask for anyone better to finish the fight.
Im just glad to see a final version or another version of this story. The universe of berserk is just too great to let it end unfinished. But man we had a good time over the past years. Miuras style, dialogue and vision was such something else
To take up berserk like mori did has got to be one of the most bravest things a creator can do even if berserk isn’t satisfying in the end you just got to respect someone who try’s to complete their friends work
It's really scary to think about... this kind of task is monumental at best. However, for Mori and the Studio to not try would be an insult. They're the only ones who can finish the story and do it justice. I will try to be there for the end of it.
I knew the point and plot by which I wanted my 10+ year long (so far) writing project to end since before I started writing it, and its at least for me a good practice to start with the end when writing. Makes me feel good to see they are going to point as quickly to the ending Miura described to Kenji. Thats the only way imo. The most respectful way to do it anyways. I wonder if he also came up with the ending first, like I did.
I just want Casca and Guts to be together and safe. If that happens, I will be satisfied with the ending. I would even accept Griffith keeping his Kingdom if Guts and Casca make it out together.
Then again we don't know the extent of how much griffith wants to rule. It could be earth and he'll too. That's even if Guts would rather die than live in a world where he has to call Griffith his leader
Miura said guts and the band of the hawk was based off of him and his friends such as Mori and other members. He and Mori being a mix of Guts and Griffith!
Miura would have enjoyed the idea of berserk continuing without him. Source: in an interview he stated guin saga remained one of his favorite novels even after the author died and a new one took over
Miura himself changed in terms of his art design and writing tone throughout berserk. So to act like any change moving forward is unnatural is just foolish. This guy was Miura's best friend, confidant, and partner. I see absolutely no reason why he won't give us a great and satisfying conclusion. He knows where Miura wanted to take this story. People need to calm down.
"Miura himself changed in terms of his art design and writing tone throughout berserk. So to act like any change moving forward is unnatural is just foolish. " This comparison is not only extremely stupid but also very disrespectful.
@@AD-nq2nz you are putting the "change" of Miura's own art style and the "change" of a completely different author on the same level when you say "anyone who has an issue with THIS new change is a fool cuss there have been changes in the past". These two things and changes are NOTHING the same. This is now a fundamentally different work with a different author for God's sake!
I don’t care what it is I just want more berzerk. Good, bad, whatever. Just more. He’s doing gods work undertaking this task and so is studio Gaga. Absolute respect for them. If you don’t like it stfu and don’t read it. Don’t ruin others’ experience
If Mori and Gaga hadn't gotten the go ahead and chosen to continue Berserk to the end I would have HAD to write fanfiction to complete the story that these characters have been on, and probably have done really poorly at it. So thanks to all of them for saving me years of effort and giving all of us the conclusion to the best piece of literature ever created
All this Berserk continuation saga was certainly a surprising series of good decisions, in my opinion. I was skeptical about it in the beginning, but I'm really enjoying it now.
I feel bad for Mori. He was so happy to see a man who was pretty much his brother, get back into his passion to finish his long runnin story. They started going to the gym together again, Mori and Miura were involved in each others personal lives, for i think, the first time in a while. Not to Miura basically told Mori that Berserk was almost over. Hell, they were even gonna travel the world when it was all over. Then, like so many other great stories, something that no one knew would happen happened. Miura suffered an Aortic Dissection and passed away, leaving Mori broken and confused. Now, he's not only set on the task of finishing his best friend's life's work, he also has to deal with the hate so called "fans" are spitting at him. Best of luck to studio Gaga and best of luck Kouji Mori. I have every ounce of faith in the man.
If there was a person to do it, its him. Of course theres trolls, but I do agree about that toxicity being pretty sour. Its beautiful, that we are going to get to the end by the hand of someone who knows whats up. Sanderson got to complete The Wheel of Time and hes gone on to become quite the famous author, sometimes, it can be a really good thing, to allows someones vision to be completed. Id be okay if the story didnt keep going, so Ill cherish what we get. A lot of us have grown up alongside Guts, this isnt just your average manga after all, Berserk deserves a heavy amount of respect and we are going to get that.
Really gotta agree with you on the berserk fandom, its definitely changed and i feel there are less fans post miura's passing who resonate with it as deeply and are more casual in the ways they appreciate berserk. I don't know if you're on tiktok but i saw berserk absolutely explode on tiktok over the past year so that may have something to do with it.
Okay so they have established the future and plot line of Berserk with Miura passing the torch onto his best friend. That makes somewhat clear and reassurance that there is an end goal of Berserk. At least I hope it’ll be better than stupid AoT
Even for me though, I just want to see this done to miuras vision as beat as mori sensei and studio gaga can, I think the art is spectacular all things consider without miura sensei in the reins anymore, and the buildup is very good as well
Honestly I have just adored every ounce of work he has poured into Berkontinuation. Perhaps if I were to be overly critical, I do have nitpicks with episode 365 and episode 366, despite being totally blown away by them when they released, but after that, it became a magically well done experience for me. It'll never be Miura, but I think it'll be peak ngl.
Man I recently started my obsession with berserk and I’m dying for more content :( it so sad to know that it’s not Miura writing anymore. RIP the legend berserk helped me feel a bit stronger tbh only other manga/anime I have similar feeling for is one piece. I think of Guts when I feel weak especially during a work out “struggle struggler!” Gotta complete the set ☠️
He's done a good job. I mean, it's not going to be what it was, but I don't believe anyone else could have finished this project better, in regard to remaining as faithful as possible to the original vision. I'm very much looking forward to the ending.
Bro I'm still waiting for you to review "Historie" 🙏 😭😭😭 done by the same author of "Parasyte" and is a political drama, think game of Thrones but in Rome. I'll wait for you to read it
The way there relationships went I trust this guy- he wanted be a mangaka - n he went to do his own thing and the way in the interview he talks about how sad he was when they decide to go there own ways~ it’s like a beautiful sad ruin for him to carry his friends torch✨🙏🏽💞
Honestly, I'm all for him trying to finish it. If it's not as good as it was before, we can always just enjoy Miura's work separately from the continuation.
This video almost made me tear up. It really is sad how many toxic fans there are now of Berserk. I feel like the edgy jokes were always there, but the arguing has never been worse. And then you went and said that the true fans are still there, and why we connect with Guts and how everyone’s had a rough patch in their lives. Struggle on! Thanks for a great video Ryan
Kouji Mouri doesn't deserve an ounce of the hate people are spilling
He doesn t. He s trying with all the good intention. That said i m one of those who thinks the story should have ended with Miura. Hate is not acceptable anyway
Welcome to the elitist berserk group
@@synchaos9141 I mean is so easy to stop reading and go on with your life. These assholes who spread hate are scum.
@@DiabloTommaso If you stop reading from that point then the story ends for you there, seems like it's optional.
Why on earth would they give him any? Don't they want the series to continue!?
You can have your opinions on if he should/shouldn’t finish it, but he doesn’t deserve any sort of hate for trying to finish his best friends legacy.
Facts. People will find a way to hate on everything if its not exactly what they expect
Agreed! I have huge respect for Mori for continuing Miura’s legacy!
misura literally wanted Mori to finish it
Crazy thing is people that are hating are still gonna read the chapters coming out.
@BingeArt That's what haters do, consume the "subject" they hate so they'd have ammunition to continue hating.
They call something shit but they keep eating it up. (Well I guess they didn't have to digest it 😅)
I think the dialogue will be the hardest thing to create. I am happy as hell they will finish Berserk.
Some of the new chapters already demonstrate that difficulty, being very visual conducted and lacking dialogues for many consecutive panels. But again it just reiterates that it will be an incomplete work as Mori himself stated. As long as we get some closure to the story I'll be happy too.
I don't think so. Berserk is over 30 years old, yes the characters have changed but they have been hardened into who they are, now is the test of mettle. The most important dialogue the series has seen since wounds is Rickert speaking to Guts next chapter. After that it is action that will speak for us as Guts has always done.
There hasn’t been a line I felt is out of character them so far
And remember studio GAGA has been working on berserk for many years
I would agree but I also do feel they are avoiding dialogue. Just a feeling. We shall see with more chapters.@@brettthebest3978
The first couple chapters they had were very sparse in dialogue which had me worried, but the chapters with Casca in Griffith's castle and the chapter where Guts has a mental breakdown on the boat were both very emotional and dialogue heavy. Those two chapters proved to me that they can write fantastic dialogue that stays true to the characters.
Huge respect to Mori; dude lost his best friend and by all accounts has done everything in his power to respect Miura’s wishes regarding Berserk by continuing it in a way that will be as true as possible to what Miura wanted. The statements he’s put out show nothing but respect and admiration for his best friend, and I think besides Miura being alive and writing it himself, this is the best possible outcome for the story.
I absolutely love all his manga, he was one of my top 5 mangaka, before i even knew he's friends with miura, so even if he would add his own style a little I would probably love it
@@preternatural9417Ok gonna answer your questions:
1. The port, you mean how impossible is to believe that there is a port in a place that was changed completely even to the point of restructuring the land after falconia appeared (out of nowhere might add), is it really hard to believe that the place where falconia (the perfect city) is currently has a port?
2. "Zodd showing up through the world tree without explanation", yeah it's not as if it was previously shown that Griffith could travel anywhere he wanted and bring people with him through the world tree, and yes I know Griffith was there as the child before Zodd showed up, but is it really that difficult to assume that Zodd as an apostle of Griffith can also travel through the branches of the tree whenever? I mean if we are gonna call that arbitrary then everything that Griffith does is arbitrary because the plot (called destiny) is literally in his favor he has done things we thought impossible out of nowhere, really not that difficult to believe that an apostle can travel through those branches, this is not contradicting anything the story has put out, the branches are shown to be like tubes you can use to fast travel, never stating only Griffith can use them. An apostle being a super natural being may use them as well whether it is because Griffith allows it to or because they understand how it works.
3. "The elders not defending their land". Well first, everything happened really fast, there wasn't even time for anyone to move from one side of the island to another, it was already destroyed in a matter of a couple minutes, add into that that none of the people living there ever thought of getting attacked, the island was thought to be a safe Haven impossible to reach by ill-intentioned beings. Even if they could have done something we had a whole arc seeing how this people would not even considerate or know how to attack or defend themselves, that includes the Storm monarch btw, she could have done something I agree but the destruction of the island happened too suddenly and abruptly for her to react on time. The Storm monarch felt the presence of Griffith and all she could say is "it's all happening too suddenly" and literally 2 pages later the island was already falling apart.
4. About Isma's mom, why is that so important? For all we know she couldn't reach the island on time, we don't know it's not breaker of the story, if anything it's a nitpick at most.
5. "Destroying the place, no explanaition", yeah it's not as if it was one of the only places in the world that he couldn't reach and could pose a threat against him, if given them enough time and resolution, yes they were pacifist, yes they were not prepared, yes they probably would've never done something against Griffith, but with a person that has complete control in the world destroying one of the only places you can't control and eliminating the threat even if that threat would've never done something against you only makes complete sense. Even if that wasn't the case, since when has Griffith given his real explanations of why he is doing what he is doing? Since he came back none of us know for sure what are his plans, we can only guess by what he is doing.
6. "Puck and ivalera not desappearing". Dude, do you know what a mystery is? The characters don't know either and they also find it weird, we don't know and that's because the story won't give you those answers right away, that's the point.
7. "Spending several episodes where guts' part of the plot only consisted in crying and whining over his sword not hitting Griffith and not even thinking of casca?" ARE YOU SERIOUS? At this point I'm doubting if you understood the character of guts, I'll break it down to you. The reason why he is crying is because he couldn't protect the only person from his past that he had left. The reason why he is crying about his sword is because since he was a baby the only thing that accompanied him and the only thing he could trust to solve his problems is his damn sword, he is not crying because the sword didn't work, he is crying because when he needed it the most to protect casca it didn't work. The part where guts says to himself "all of this was for nothing" do you really believe he was talking about his sword? NO, it is the fact that guts is thrown into despair because he was proven that the only thing he has been reallying on since almost birth couldn't protect the most important person in his life, that is what destroyed him, his world shattered, what's the point if the only thing he is good at couldn't save her, couldn't save any of them from Griffith? This time it broke him because at eclipse at least he could take her out of there and he survived by fighting, now not only he couldn't do that, but she was taken and he could only watch. Jesus man I felt like I explained a really obvious joke, it feels wrong to explain this because it's pretty much in your face if you paid attention to how guts is constructed.
I will say this, the visual storytelling is not as good and at times a tat confusing. I also appreciate that the attack is purely against what kouji is doing and not against his persona, so you have my respects my friends, but your comments seem to be looking for reason to hate because kouji is not Miura which is the problem.
@AlphaBeta17 'The best ending': Berserk's new chapter turns into Game of Thrones season 8
As long as it's Miura's actual story, even if Koji only knows the major plot points, I'm more than fine with it. If he and Gaga have to piece it together and fill in a few blanks, I appreciate the hell out of them for it. I feel they're getting better and better every chapter.
I feel like this was the expectation, it was always unlikely we were going to be able to get a perfect replica of the story based on a memory of a conversation from over 20 years ago
they knew each other since highschool, Koji will do a good job
I had read somewhere that Koji himself had said he is only offering to help with story elements he has first hand knowledge about. He will not speculate or make things up on his own
How ironic that the one person that Miura modeled his Griffith character off of returned to complete his life’s work and dream.
Thank you!! 🙏
i think its akin to the state of the world, this kind of thing destroys how special the creators view was, if anyone expects something better is kidding themselves... this should be left alone. the message is stronge as it is. Look at all your remakes or additions... please dont..
@@serafaus These are just rumours. But I heard someone mention he saying "sometimes he was Griffith. Sometimes I was Griffith."
@@serafausIt was based on Mori.
@@rumplstiltztinkersteintbh I always thought of Mori as more of like guts and Miura as Griffith (a good version lol). Mori was more akin to a struggling artist that had to really push himself through some terrible hardships to reach success wheareas Miura was more of the gifted genius that had a grand idea for what become one of the best mangas ever conceived.
Utmost respect to Mori and Studio Gaga
I don’t think haters really understand how lucky Berserk’s fandom have been. First time they were lucky cause there is life-long friend of Miura who listened from him about this story for 30 years. Second time they were lucky when this friend happened to be not lawyer or pilot but mangaka. Third time they were lucky cause he even decided to finish the manga despite all the pressure (considering how big and unique this story is).
And with every new chapter I can tell they continue to improving with every aspect of the story, I’m happy we still here and going forward after Miura’s death. I wish Studio Gaga and Kouji Mori the best and hope they end Berserk on the highest note possible.
now im not a hater and have been enjoying the continuation, but I definitely would not say the berserk fandom is lucky, I mean miura literally passed away before finishing the story.
@@ozyssah
He means lucky as in there is actually someone suitable to complete the series even if the original creator passed away.
There are a lot of stories that don't ever get an ending, or someone comes in and fcks up the story (good example is the Dune series).
They are lucky in comparison to pretty much every fandom that had its artist pass away.
I appreciate you making this video, my friend. This needed to be said.
Aww thank you Kay!!! ❤️❤️
Mori Sensei is definitely gonna get to the end goal of Berserk. Ryan I love how you mention AOT and Vinland stories and how the pieces add up.
W Neji pfp
AOT has a dogshit ending
If I want anything from the assistants it’s for them to not solely imitate Miura. I want to see them become great too. Because even though Miura can never be replicated, that doesn’t mean we can’t find something great afterwards.
Definitely. I still think they should closely follow what Miura has set up and try and continue to push whatever message/conclusion he wanted, but they should put some of their own personality and emotions into the work too. It shouldn't be robotic and stiff, I think they deserve to improve and create a voice of their own to finish Berserk.
HAVEN'T EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO YET, I DON'T NEED TO KNOW ANYTHING MORE WHEN MIURA LEFT BERSERK IN THE HANDS OF THE ABSOLUTE GOAT THAT MADE HOLYLAND
Now I gotta look up Holy land
@@mannymover2397 You gotta read it - as Kouji Mori's magnum opus, it's right up there with Berserk for me
Like Guts said when Casca fell in the sea "I guess even if you force back what was lost.....It still won't be the way it was." but that's alright, we can reply on people and not do things on our own.
That quote is always in my head since it was announced that berserk would continue. When reading reading the newer chapters, I often think about how Miura would have done it, but then I realize that that isn't a fair comparison. No matter how hard anyone tries, we will never know how Miura would have done it, but that's okay. The story is in the right hands, and however awful this situation is, atleast berserk is still going, even if it's not what it could have been.
Rely* on
@@istvankeri6688Similar to how I felt when I watched Star Wars in it's current state. I always wonder what George Lucas would've done with the sequels even though he is still around to watch them burn.
I just hope he doesn't die before finishing. Imagine that happening in a few years. We get close to the finish line but then Mori dies and now there is no one left on Earth who knows the ending.. that would be sad.
Don’t even put this energy out there please
@@capo3oh169 Your weakness to the evil anime villains online, is laughable bro.
What you believe in "knock on wood" or fengshui or something? Saying or writing something does not make it real, just ask the people who wrote the bible and the quran xD@@capo3oh169
@@capo3oh169fr why is this dude even putting negative thoughts out there
It’s a foolish thing for you to let such bad thoughts out into the world
As you said Kouji Mouri is probably the best person for the job. I like the idea of berserk continuing if it’s fumbles we can just ignore it if it succeeds and continues to be good it will be a fully completed magnum ops and be the manga equivalent of Mozart requiem.
Requiem is a fantastic comparison
Koji is a real bro, really grateful for him and Japanese people in general
Bro, I really hope Kouji-sensei to live a happy and long life. We don't know if he wrote down everything Miura-sensei told him about Berserk.
He’s passing the torch to his most trusted friend to carry on his legacy. Nobody is more suited than Kouji. The story continues and I’m excited to see where it goes!
Really respect Kouji and their team for taking the duty to continue Berserk. Whatever the ending they go, I'm happy.
They are GOATED for completing one of the greatest stories of all times.
I really respect you and admire your love of Berserk. I also love Berserk and feel that Kouji Mori and Studio Gaga are doing an excellent job under the tragic circumstances. It was extremely devastating for me personally to hear of Miura's passing. That Kouji is continuing it is nothing short of heroic. I think Miura would be happy to know his life's work is continuing on to its conclusion. Best wishes to them and to you.
I do think that the post-Miura chapters and Mori's afterword here best justify why Berserk needs a quality anime adaptation. Not just some okay-to-good Golden Age adaptation again, a 100% faithful adaptation of the highest caliber. Give people something to be hyped about, give people the experience of witnessing Black Swordsman, Conviction, Lost Children, etc. in anime form. All the while, allow the team to revisit these recent chapters and see if anything additional could be done to improve on them or flesh them out if they felt the need to do so. It would also make Miura-Berserk to Mori-Berserk much less of a jump, since you'd keep whatever anime style they'd go with for Fantasia.
Definitely a long shot, but that's what I'm personally hoping for. I want Berserk to succeed and for Mori & Studio Gaga to stick the landing, and it's an uphill battle for sure.
i will come back to this comment if the upcoming announcement has anything to do with an anime...
With the society being so soft today we can never have an accurate adaptation,I prefer the free gore and violence drawn at panels
We will probably never get a faithful anime adaptation unless it's adults only rating and we all know that companies are scared for something that won't make money
@@f10pped36 of course,1997 was the closest to an accurate adaptation we could ever get
It's getting the right Studio to animate it is the problem. Adi Skankar who did CastleVania Anime expressed interest in doing it.
Such a beautiful friendship, can't even imagine the pressure this guy is under, not only from fans but mostly himself
As much as I am critical of the new chapters quality ultimately I think we are better for having them and being able to see the ending for Miura's story
It’s been 2 years and hearing that’s he’s died still hurts.
Rip Miura
it does. it just seems so wrong. RIP mirura and may his legacy carry on
I am getting emotional, the story of their friendship seems really authentic, there is no place for any hate if Mori tries to finish his friend's story
I never clicked on yt video this fast in my life
😂
People will literally find ANYTHING to cry about. Its as simple as reading up until Miura died & then you stop reading. Most people are like me & want to see the journey reach the finish-line. Miura most likely gave them a guideline to finish & most likely knew he wasn’t going to be able to finish the story due to health problems long before his passing. I don’t think Koji would even attempt to finish the story if Miura didn’t want that. Thank you for sharing this with us Ryan.. we appreciate you & all your hard work.
Good video, man! Frankly, it angers me how people assume the worst of Koji Mori and Studio Gaga for continuing "Berserk" to honor Miura's wish to finish his life's work; if it feels wrong for them because it is not penned by Miura, fine, but that is not a license to speak ill of Koji Mori and Studio Gaga, whom Miura confided and vetted with great care, or to shame those reading what Koji Mori and Studio created because they want closure to a narrative so inspiring and engaging. Personally, Mori and Studio Gaga, talented and respectful, proved to me that they are worthy of carrying Miura's legacy.
How he, and the team, are keeping Berserk alive, should be showered with praise, and the utmost respect.. nobody can match what Miura has done, but man, the love, and passion is still there- you can tell with each panel, each piece of dialogue, you know it’s all from a place of love, admiration, and trying their best to follow in the footsteps of the legend.. anybody else would’ve failed miserably, because Berserk isn’t your common manga, it’s layered like Monster, and Vagabond, which has to be emotionally, mentally draining.. along with the expectation of us fans, it has to be stressful.. ppl that are disrespectful towards him, and the team, is nothing but wrong..
I’m happy, and blessed, that the series is still going.. Miura left in his hands for a reason, let us appreciate it..
I was legit getting scared, Fuck the ultra-purists. Mori and Studio Gaga are the closest thing to the people who knows Miuras story for Berserk.
I need to see this story end before I die. I cant live knowing that it might get cancelled man. Id be super depressed.
Bless Mori and Gaga!
Kouji Mori has an incredible background and career. His skill alone is unparalleled, and if he was chosen by Miura himself to continue then that's all there is to it. At the end of the day, he is simply bringing Miura's vision to life posthumously. I can't think of any of my homies that would even consider the same for myself. The fact that this is even happening is incredible.
Kouji definitely is a real one. He's doing something for his friend that he really didn't have to, and it's essentially an impossible task and I think so far what he's produced is high quality. Obviously not the same, but given the shitty situation, he's doing a great job imo.
Obviously studio Gaga is a part of it too. Didn't want to forget their input.
Mori is a real one🙏
Berserk will never be the same without Miura, that's a given and something I've accepted. However, I strongly believe this series is in the best possible hands. I respect the hell out of Kouji Mori and Studio Gaga for seeing Berserk to its conclusion. It's not going to be perfect nor the entire story, but it will hit those major beats Miura planned out. So far I'm really enjoying this continuation and I'll see it until its end. The strength of Berserk for me has always been the characters and the themes. If Kouji Mori and Studio Gaga continue to do well on that front than I'm a happy camper.
Then* I'm a happy camper.
@preternatural9417 It does. Guts hit rock bottom because he couldn't hit Griffith and save Casca. He will get better, though, as he speaks to Rickert and Daiba.
@preternatural9417 Farnese and Casca are nothing compared to Griffith/Femto. Berserk is NOT a shounen where everybody fights everybody. Your reasoning is weak.
@@preternatural9417 No, you didn't explain sh*t. You were projecting. Farnese's magic power is WEAK, she can't do sh*t to Griffith. If you were her you would stand there helpless too. Not everybody can actively fight evil. THAT is true to human limits, not characterization issue. You know sh*t, dude.
@@preternatural9417 It's not complex yes. Farnese took care of Casca but she could only look after Casca, that's it. Also, she stood and watched HELPLESSLY. She knew she couldn't do anything. Besides, she has been living in peace on Elf Island, Casca's kidnapping is a shock to her.
Oh, sure, like Schierke's magic was gonna be of use against something like Femto. You just love that shounen sh*t, don't you? Like I said, it doesn't have to be a fight every time. They were taken by surprise, they could do jack and sh*t.
And lol attacking Zodd while the whole island falls apart. Great priority, just like yours. You could have saved yourself the energy to do something better instead of being mad about Mori's decision to continue Berserk. You are a tourist and your "opinion" doesn't matter. Most things Mori and Studio Gaga did is fine and will help pave the way for future chapters. You don't like it, you can kindly f*ck off. We don't need you around airing out your "opinion".
We are still here Ryan. Utmost respect and admiration to and for Mori and Gaga. And to fans like you.
Thank you for this video
Miura's death made me cry for 3 days no cap.
We gotta follow this through.
appreciate it Ryan.
Its super reassuring that they know the endpoint of the story. I remember reading a Miura interview years ago where he revealed that he was already working on the ending.
I don't personally dive deep into fandoms and what everyone's opinions are. I have my own due to my connection to Berserk. I can understand others would be upset with the circumstances, and that's fine. I think Mori-san has enough of a connection to the work to merit trying his hand towards the ending. I hope volume 42 and onward do well enough support to Studio Gaga's efforts.
People who are new berserk fans here, I can say that it's amazes me how berserk creator friends is keeping his friends memorie going throughout these tough times without him. Time heals all wounds, and wish him the best in finishing berserk story how much we appreciate his time & effort time & time again.... R.I.P Miura... your story will be heard & finished in your memory: from 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
I just lost someone I loved dearly, more than I even knew until it was too late. Seeing what he is saying about miura and how he wants to continue his legacy means a lot more to me now. I don’t believe this to be anything other than love and friendship and it’s one of the nicest things a person could do for someone. People can be beautiful, if only we all tried. A pity. I’m happy he and the team are finishing the story though, god bless Miura.
Very well said, I think it's a huge honor, high respect of a friend. I'm sorry for your loss.
Hope im alive in 20-30 years to see it finished
Definitely feel like people want to chuck the baby out with the bathwater over the new chapters.
Yeah, it's not Miura, but so far they've been really interesting. The guy's studio is working their ass off, they're not just cashing in on the name.
Couldn't agree more, good to see you here too 👏
This takes me back to about 12-13 years ago homeless living on the streets or at a shelter eating shit ass food and staff that were like cruel jailers a system of bullshit and turmoil and one of those few things that kept me going was a new issue..and still after all that I'm finally off the streets Im still here with that hope.
Never give up.
Fellow struggler
In terms of completing a dead author's work, this is probably the best scenario you can hope for besides a literal pile of papers that outline every detail of the story with trusted parties to faithfully put it together (more or less happened with Wheel of Time's author). So far, from what i have seen in the post-Miura works, it looks like the group will do a great job in completing the series with all things considered. The interview reinforced the notion that the group are committed in doing things right to the best of their abilities. If folks dont care much for that, then they can pretend that the story ended with Griffith shedding a tear. However, i am on board to see this great story reach its conclusion.
Been reading for over 20 years. I need to see the ending and am glad his friend will be there to finish his masterpiece
The continuation is really not my thing but I love your philosophy and attitude, Ryan! Much respect to both you and Mori/Studio Gaga either way ✊️🙏
If there is one guy you can trust it ahould be his best friend and Im really happy with the last chapters and if you dont want another author finish it, just stop reading it and make peace with it.
I can't imagine how much strain he is under, even just self imposed. Many men would break under that pressure, but now that we've had several Mori chapters, he's doing about as good a job as anyone on earth could possibly do given these circumstances. I'm behind him for the long haul, he's doing a noble thing finishing his friend's story and trying to do it justice
I’m happy for the story to continue.
Thank you for such a great analysis on commentary
Great video! I think we will see The Idea of Evil again. The chapter was cut because it "gave to much away"
"Mook" is a combination of the English words "magazine" and "book", often referring to guides or fanzines relating to a particular subject. For example, the magazine Gamest would include mooks dedicated to certain games (often containing character move lists, concept art, developer interviews, etc.) in their issues. For Berserk, there were a set of self-published mooks called "Berserk Freaks" from the mid 90's. One issue in particular from 1996 where Miura is interviewed while working (a work-in-progress manuscript of chapter 92 is visible on his desk) is the origin of the few infamous black and white images available online for many years.
Mori is saying he was thinking of making a guidebook for the rest of Berserk's story and its conclusion where what he remembers would be explained alongside accompanying illustrations.
That's sound like a great idea and I wont mind Mori and Gaga doing that if they couldnt do it in manga form.
Thank god Berserk has a publisher that values the creator more than the IP. I'd imagine if Marvel owned Berserk, they would've had a field day whoring the franchise out after his death.
I'm still hurt about Miura's passing but I'm also excited to see this series get a conclusion. If this franchise can cross the finish line then I'll be estatic.
Guts killing a a Kushan warrior next chapter
Rickert: Well, THAT just happened
To Kouji I only have one thing to say
"Put your glasses on, you can do no wrong"
Appreciate you as always Ryan thanks for your thoughts!🤘🏼🔥
I'm glad Miura's story is going to be completed. Its deserves to be.
Casca and Rickert are back, I'm happy so far. Can't wait for the next chapter.
20:42 I was aware of Berserk my whole life, and I knew it was good, I just didn't gave it a shot because whatever. Got into Berserk back in 2020 amidst the pandemic, one year prior to Miura's passing.
Kouji Mouri deserves all the possible praise in this world, may god bless him wherever he goes !!
I’m so sad he’ll never see our reaction to the end. Rest in peace to the Legend ⭐️
↓ translation of Kouji Mori's afterword (google translation, with my minimum correction)
Thank you very much for picking up Berserk volume 42.
From here on, it's Berserk without Miura.
Of course it will be incomplete.
I think some people find this difficult to accept.
Even I have that feeling.
As a manga artist and a fan, I am a fundamentalist and admirer of Miura.
However, as someone who was closest to Miura and a close friend, I cannot ignore the story that Miura tried to write.
I ask for your forgiveness.
Gaga's staff and people in charge are all doing their best to preserve Miura and Berserk.
Each volume that will be published from now on is a crystallization of these thoughts.
Everyone who loves Berserk.
Please keep an eye on them!
And if possible, I would be happy if you could support them so that they can run to the end.
I would like to express my gratitude to everyone involved in Berserk and to everyone who loves Berserk.

Excellent vid rye guy
I feel like the addition of the older godhand by Miura was his last practical joke on his friend,like hey I’m going to open up this can of worms and have Mori deal with it!
I don’t think he knew he was gonna die
@@KMExceeder I think it's a joke 😐
@@macca937 nah he told me he was serious
We don't even know what that was if it indeed were the old god hand members, it was a vision that Guts saw from the past there's no real specific details on what really took place there. And how's that a joke by him drawing the vision from the past? Your point seems vague and not connected to anything at all.
@@Ulvmannsskjebne dude obviously I was joking however it does seem obvious it was an older god hand with Void inaugurated as the 5th newest member,meaning it opens the possibility of godhand dying however I believe this is more due to the fact that a godhand has a fixed term rather than someone killing them,this had the potential to be a huge plot line,potentially the biggest in berserk,so the fact that Miura did this a few months before he died has left Mori and Gaga a lot more work had that chapter not happened!
Pretty much all I was trying to say with some slight humour!
the fans are hating for a reason, the level of Detail isnt there, their making 1 chapter per 1 month, miura took 1 year to make 1 chapter, was putting sistine levels of chapel of detail into his art.
Nonsense. Kouji Mori's Berserk has better art then Miura's Berserk at the beginning. Yes, after 5 years of doing Berserk, Miura's art improved beyond belief. But Kouji Mori's Berserk will also improve after years of experience.
Love your stuff as always man
I love the fact that they were best friends and Mori is on par with Miura's storytelling and art style, couldn't ask for anyone better to finish the fight.
Im just glad to see a final version or another version of this story. The universe of berserk is just too great to let it end unfinished. But man we had a good time over the past years. Miuras style, dialogue and vision was such something else
Thanks for content ry
To take up berserk like mori did has got to be one of the most bravest things a creator can do even if berserk isn’t satisfying in the end you just got to respect someone who try’s to complete their friends work
I can't wait to see the end
It's really scary to think about... this kind of task is monumental at best. However, for Mori and the Studio to not try would be an insult.
They're the only ones who can finish the story and do it justice. I will try to be there for the end of it.
I knew the point and plot by which I wanted my 10+ year long (so far) writing project to end since before I started writing it, and its at least for me a good practice to start with the end when writing. Makes me feel good to see they are going to point as quickly to the ending Miura described to Kenji. Thats the only way imo. The most respectful way to do it anyways. I wonder if he also came up with the ending first, like I did.
Damn he made holyland? didnt know that but knowing it know I feel a lot more confident that the story will not disappoint moving forward
I just want Casca and Guts to be together and safe. If that happens, I will be satisfied with the ending. I would even accept Griffith keeping his Kingdom if Guts and Casca make it out together.
Then again we don't know the extent of how much griffith wants to rule. It could be earth and he'll too. That's even if Guts would rather die than live in a world where he has to call Griffith his leader
@@f10pped36godhand members are not completely immortal lmao. The only one who comes close to that would be Void.
Miura said guts and the band of the hawk was based off of him and his friends such as Mori and other members. He and Mori being a mix of Guts and Griffith!
19:29 I cannot agree more. This is very true for myself. I latched on to Berserk during the worst point in my life.
Miura would have enjoyed the idea of berserk continuing without him. Source: in an interview he stated guin saga remained one of his favorite novels even after the author died and a new one took over
Miura himself changed in terms of his art design and writing tone throughout berserk. So to act like any change moving forward is unnatural is just foolish. This guy was Miura's best friend, confidant, and partner. I see absolutely no reason why he won't give us a great and satisfying conclusion. He knows where Miura wanted to take this story. People need to calm down.
"Miura himself changed in terms of his art design and writing tone throughout berserk. So to act like any change moving forward is unnatural is just foolish. " This comparison is not only extremely stupid but also very disrespectful.
@@scottclay9005 How is it disrespectful? It's an objective fact that Miura's writing and art style did change over time.
@@AD-nq2nz you are putting the "change" of Miura's own art style and the "change" of a completely different author on the same level when you say "anyone who has an issue with THIS new change is a fool cuss there have been changes in the past". These two things and changes are NOTHING the same. This is now a fundamentally different work with a different author for God's sake!
I don’t care what it is I just want more berzerk. Good, bad, whatever. Just more. He’s doing gods work undertaking this task and so is studio Gaga. Absolute respect for them. If you don’t like it stfu and don’t read it. Don’t ruin others’ experience
If Mori and Gaga hadn't gotten the go ahead and chosen to continue Berserk to the end I would have HAD to write fanfiction to complete the story that these characters have been on, and probably have done really poorly at it. So thanks to all of them for saving me years of effort and giving all of us the conclusion to the best piece of literature ever created
All this Berserk continuation saga was certainly a surprising series of good decisions, in my opinion. I was skeptical about it in the beginning, but I'm really enjoying it now.
I feel bad for Mori. He was so happy to see a man who was pretty much his brother, get back into his passion to finish his long runnin story. They started going to the gym together again, Mori and Miura were involved in each others personal lives, for i think, the first time in a while. Not to Miura basically told Mori that Berserk was almost over. Hell, they were even gonna travel the world when it was all over. Then, like so many other great stories, something that no one knew would happen happened. Miura suffered an Aortic Dissection and passed away, leaving Mori broken and confused. Now, he's not only set on the task of finishing his best friend's life's work, he also has to deal with the hate so called "fans" are spitting at him. Best of luck to studio Gaga and best of luck Kouji Mori. I have every ounce of faith in the man.
Man if I died I would definitely want my best friend to finish my story. It would not be the same, but it is what it is.
If there was a person to do it, its him. Of course theres trolls, but I do agree about that toxicity being pretty sour.
Its beautiful, that we are going to get to the end by the hand of someone who knows whats up. Sanderson got to complete The Wheel of Time and hes gone on to become quite the famous author, sometimes, it can be a really good thing, to allows someones vision to be completed.
Id be okay if the story didnt keep going, so Ill cherish what we get. A lot of us have grown up alongside Guts, this isnt just your average manga after all, Berserk deserves a heavy amount of respect and we are going to get that.
Really gotta agree with you on the berserk fandom, its definitely changed and i feel there are less fans post miura's passing who resonate with it as deeply and are more casual in the ways they appreciate berserk. I don't know if you're on tiktok but i saw berserk absolutely explode on tiktok over the past year so that may have something to do with it.
Okay so they have established the future and plot line of Berserk with Miura passing the torch onto his best friend. That makes somewhat clear and reassurance that there is an end goal of Berserk. At least I hope it’ll be better than stupid AoT
Even for me though, I just want to see this done to miuras vision as beat as mori sensei and studio gaga can, I think the art is spectacular all things consider without miura sensei in the reins anymore, and the buildup is very good as well
If aot's ending is stupid idk what to tell you
@vould7233 Attack on Titan's ending is unfortunately very... unfinished.
The moment u mentioned aot trash anime/manga, in a berserk video ur opinion doesn't count.
Honestly I have just adored every ounce of work he has poured into Berkontinuation. Perhaps if I were to be overly critical, I do have nitpicks with episode 365 and episode 366, despite being totally blown away by them when they released, but after that, it became a magically well done experience for me. It'll never be Miura, but I think it'll be peak ngl.
Man I recently started my obsession with berserk and I’m dying for more content :( it so sad to know that it’s not Miura writing anymore. RIP the legend berserk helped me feel a bit stronger tbh only other manga/anime I have similar feeling for is one piece. I think of Guts when I feel weak especially during a work out “struggle struggler!” Gotta complete the set ☠️
He's done a good job. I mean, it's not going to be what it was, but I don't believe anyone else could have finished this project better, in regard to remaining as faithful as possible to the original vision. I'm very much looking forward to the ending.
Bro I'm still waiting for you to review "Historie" 🙏 😭😭😭 done by the same author of "Parasyte" and is a political drama, think game of Thrones but in Rome. I'll wait for you to read it
The way there relationships went I trust this guy- he wanted be a mangaka - n he went to do his own thing and the way in the interview he talks about how sad he was when they decide to go there own ways~ it’s like a beautiful sad ruin for him to carry his friends torch✨🙏🏽💞
Being an hindu, i can see lots of foreshadowing in berserk. Miura was cooking huge
Wow so glad we have Mori
Honestly, I'm all for him trying to finish it. If it's not as good as it was before, we can always just enjoy Miura's work separately from the continuation.
The hopeful ending:
Guts just chilling on the beach
This video almost made me tear up. It really is sad how many toxic fans there are now of Berserk. I feel like the edgy jokes were always there, but the arguing has never been worse.
And then you went and said that the true fans are still there, and why we connect with Guts and how everyone’s had a rough patch in their lives.
Struggle on! Thanks for a great video Ryan
Those aren't fans, those are fakes.
Agreed, but the public eye will just lump us in with them 🥲
Yeah. The toxic fakers makes the true Berserk fans & fandom in general look bad.
I really respect Mori, can’t believe people are sending him hate
People who dont agree with the continuation should just not read it because the rest of us don't care.
Fr
I think the drawing of them geeking out is pretty cute
LET'S GOOOOOO!
