As unfortunate as Mr. Miura's passing is, I think the important thing to remember is the fact that he left a legacy and lived a life worth living, which was one of the central messages of Berserk. He influenced gaming for possibly years to come in the form of Dark Souls, he helped spawn a number of anime, and made an iconic representation of the anti-hero archetype. And not only that, he brought together fans from all over the world over it. And as unfortunate as it is that we very likely will never see the end of it, I think just being able to do those things has left much more of a lasting mark on the world.

I love Berserk. I started reading during a pretty hard time in my life. I had been diagnosed with cancer and needed to undergo a number of procedures(surgery, chemo, radiation). I had a lot of time to kill and was at home most days. I took that time to really get lost in the world of Berserk. The beautiful illustrations, the dynamic and interesting characters, and the masterful worldbuilding of Kentaro Miura was just about everything I could ever ask for in a manga series. Truly this was a masterpiece, and I'd found this series that, even though incredibly grim, became almost comforting to me. I could relate to Guts on a lot of levels with what I was going through. Seeing him struggle constantly and always get back up no matter what... I guess it made chemo not look so bad.

Fast forward a few years and it turns out there is still a little cancer in me. I have this big operation, and end up coming home barely even feeling like myself. But I struggle on, and I pull through as best as I can because every time I fall my damn legs wont let me stay down. But then Miura passes, and honestly even though I never knew the guy personally, I feel like I just lost a family member. I started reading Berserk again as I continued to recover, even shelled out over a hundred bucks to line my shelf with some volumes. It was like falling in love all over again.

I'm not sure what I'm really trying to say here. Maybe just that Berserk is really good, or maybe that it appeals to me on this special level because of what I've been through with it. Either way, Thanks Kentaro Miura. You're legacy lives on in every body your work touched on a personal level, and I know I am not the only one who feels that way.

The night Miura died, I read the news on twitter like everyone else. I was filled with such a sense of sadness for a man I had never met, but who had helped to shape my life in such a profound way. I went out for a walk with my headphones on, listening to Guts' theme in the middle of an actual thunderstorm. I walked 6 and a half miles that night with this song on repeat. I was absolutely soaked when I got home. I will never forget that night, and I will never forget the wonderful story and characters that Miura brought to this world. RIP Kentaro Miura.

I'm a man who suffers from chronic pain. I'm thirty-six years old, and I've done a lot in my life - none of it particularly notable. I've been a boxer, a reclusive nerd, a student, a welder, a patient alone in a hospital. A husband. A father. Doctors tell me the illness that causes my pain will never go away, it's my own body killing itself, it'll take my legs from me eventually. I had to retire from welding barely before I started as it worsened. I'm doing fine really. Just another day.

I've been reading Berserk since I was a teen. When Miura passed - I decided to try my hand at writing. I've always been a writer, usually nothing grand. TTRPGs, DM stuff. Character backgrounds. I've been writing a book. More to have something concrete that said 'I was here, I lived once' really than anything. I drew on it for my writing, it along with many things, Elric of Melinbone, Sparhawk of Elenia, even humble Samwise Gamgee. I filled my world with monsters, horror and decent, strong men. It's been a fulfilling process, I'm on track to finish it's first draft in a few months.

Someone in my reader pool came to me the other day, he's a younger guy who's really into comics and games, big Dark Souls player and said to me; "It's like Berserk with paladins." and I couldn't contain my smile. I'd put my pain into the story, the understanding of suffering and loss that came with it. Seems along the way I started treading that same path Kentaro Miura did.

Thank you Kentaro Miura. Thank you for sharing your world with me through that little square book. It made mine seem less dark. It let me eventually make my pain matter to someone.

Edit: As everyone is interested, you can find the WIPs for my reader pool of my book on Archive of our Own. Youtube deletes comments with links and I don't want to pull away from this channel, so search for 'Chasing the Unicorn' and keep listening. It's not bad background music for the story by half.

Damn listening to this audio while reading the comments and thinking abt ur own life hit different.

[Zakkariaha]

To be a stoic isnt about not feeling. It's about what youve felt, what youre going to feel, and knowing that the pain can never stop you from living. God bless you all who lay your eyes apoun this

[momookus]

pls make "Guts theme during an hour-long struggle of constipation in my bathroom at 4 AM"

[shuu]

I see no dislikes yet, good stuff, the rain being louder than the music is making it realistic than having the music louder than the rain, good aesthetic delivery.

[Zambobi]

If you ever feel like a clown, know people really felt the need to dislike this.

[AkiraDubs]

You ever feel like you’re scared to make new memories, because you’re afraid to forget the old ones?

[RandLand]

You can do almost anything with this music on in the background. Study, walk, run, cry, laugh, seek clarity after bussin a fat nut. It's honestly tho most relaxing peace of music I've ever heard.
