    Miura was a master of storytelling. Knowing that his magnum opus, the work that will define his legacy, will never be finished breaks me.
    Despite that, I look back on the major theme of Berserk; the world can tear you apart and take everything away from you but you will always have the strength to keep moving forward. You don't deserve to be consumed by your anguish, to spend the rest of your days wallowing in misery.
    When I look at Guts, one of my favourite protagonists in all of fiction, I don't see an edgelord. I see a man slowly learning to live again. As difficult as it may be, he won't give up on himself. He is the struggler.

    I don't agree that people wanting Berserk to go on aren't real fans or that it would necessarily be better unfinished. It's understandable that people who have been invested in a series for years would want to cling to hope. It would be great if we hear more about whether Miura did indeed plan for this situation (as people have speculated), and whether his wishes for the series are known. Because if he did want his assistance to carry the torch, then that'd be the most respectful thing to do.

      These three pissed me off at that point. They're judging a fandom they absolutely are not apart of. For fans who have emotional attachment and investment in the series, it's not just Miura dying. Its also the fate of his magnum opus and their favorite story being left in question. It's natural for the fandom while also grieving to immediately wonder about the man's life work.
      And how do we know they aren't Strugglers? Simple. They thought Guts killed one of the Godhand. Like ffs, I can give Cdawg a pass since he apparently hasn't read the whole manga, but Gigguk let me down if he's read it. Joey...don't care.

    [TW] I just want to also point out that Berserk did something that I don't think a lot of manga does: it talks about: male SA & r@pe. The way that Miura handled this topic was just so raw and brutal and it just goes to show you that even strong, incredibly badass characters like Guts (who almost always comes out on top) can be incredibly broken by it and find healing through love (via his relationship with Casca and his brotherhood with the rest of the Band of the Hawk). I say this because it feels like a lot of creators use r@pe and SA as the go-to background story for female characters and at times it feels like they just use it in a shallow, exploitative way. However, Miura uses it in a way that's more "realistic" by showing that these types of things can happen to anyone, even the most hardened, badass, sword-slinging characters. I'm not a man so I don't speak for men when I say this, but I have a feeling that lot of men might have been touched by Berserk because of how it portrays SA against men, a topic that isn't nearly discussed in our current times, and seeing a huge behemoth of a character go through something like that shows them "oh, if someone as strong as Guts can go through something like that, then I'm not weak or less than for having gone through that myself" if that makes sense? Again, I don't speak for men so please correct me if I'm totally off the mark.

    I refused to read Berserk for so long due to a certain point I heard (from the prequel story) about a young Guts late at night with a certain mercenary named Donovan.
    I eventually decided to read it from start to finish (that was when the story was up to the millennium falcon arc) and loved every single second, including "The Boat"
    Every single part, every single character is important to the story.
    Isidro wasting half a chapter pulling witches clothes down - critical
    Guts staring out at the sea as a boat sails for an unknowingly long time - critical
    Puck carrying on and on being a silly bugger - critical
    All of it is important to the full story and fleshes every part out.
    I saw so many people getting annoyed at Isidro, Puck, Schierke, Farnese or Serpico cause "ohhh they're getting in the way of Guts being the furious Black Swordsman"
    The way I see the story, and the way I believe Miura was pushing the story was that Revenge kills you, Revenge ruins you internally. Gut's suffering from wearing the Berserker Armour is showing that fact. I think the above mentioned characters getting in Guts way when he just wants to be violent is important for him to grow as a character, he needs to give up that violence and hatred.
    Going by the things Miura said a few years ago about how he couldn't see a sad ending for the story, and that he couldn't imagine Guts killing Griffith cause that would be like Guts killing the Author (Himself). I will always assume the ending is where The Idea of Evil is destroyed by Griffith giving all the people a peaceful place to live resulting in Griffith destroying himself, then he will die off with his last sight seeing a happy peaceful Guts and Casca having a happy life being that they've long having forgotten him.
    My ending needs way more explanation but i'm running out of characters to type with.

    So far, I've only read the black swordsman arc and watched the golden age anime, so take my words with a grain of salt. That being said, not knowing whether a story is going to be finished is a legitimate concern, especially one as important as Berserk. What does Joey mean when he said "Those aren't fans of Berserk." You can be sad that Miura passed away, and still question whether Berserk will continue. These aren't mutually exclusive things. At the time of the announcement, I had only seen the golden age anime. I knew I was going to read the manga at some point. So when I heard the news that Miura had passed away, I was sad that Berserk may not get an ending. In my point of view, It's sad that Berserk won't get an ending it deserves. Not that it takes anything away from what we do have, but its still tragic that Miura didn't get to finish his masterpiece.

    I recently just finished Berserk (8/23/2021 around 3 or 4 am) once I finally finished reading the last panel I smiled and closed my laptop and started to tear up. That day there was a full moon, I'm not a huge believer but I was raised with religion in my life. That night I prayed for the author hoping he's in a better place. What a masterpiece one human can create may he rest for all of eternity.

    I picked it up because it was wrapped in the book store with a huge “parental advisor” sticker on it and I was like
    Ooooo I bet this is good
    Was not disappointed

    I think miura said last year that he planned to finish berserk in the next 5-10 years (taking into account his slower pace and everything). Lots of speculation that the climax of the series was about to happen. Like, the moonlight boy just showed up, and maybe Griffith would follow with his generals for a final battle on the elf island or something like that

    As an Artist, reading 1st page of berserk made me tearup by detail and beautiful style.
