I hate when people who say "RIP Kentaro Miura" then turn around and insult Hunter x Hunter's release schedule. Togashi's chronic pain from lumbago is well known, so there is no excuse for expecting him to give his body and quality of life to draw us comics on a grueling schedule.

I would rather HxH never come back than Togashi suffer to bring it to us. Manga artists deserve to live and thrive like everyone else. Miura is gone and so many like him die young. But Togashi is an example of how stories like Miura's should have ended. Life comes before manga, always.

Let's appreciate the new chapters without forgetting that the only reason we can get them is that Togashi is taking care of his health.

Can't wait to read the new Berserk chapters ! Of course, I'm still sad that it won't be the same it'd have been if Miura-sensei did it himself, but I'm glad they chose one of his closest friends (whom Miura himself told his relationship with him inspired him Guts and Griffith's friendship) to continue the manga.

So here is another, less sad and more hopeful tribute. I should redraw the first I did last year though...

Let me start by saying that I can't believe it's already been a year.

I'm not going to say the cliché, "time flies," because sure I petered out the second half of last year... okay. I mean, a lot of shit happened last year, some joyous, but a lot of it... not. Honestly, in retrospect, Miura's death was the second worst thing to have happened to my psyche last year (I'm still not in a mental state to explain the first, which indeed happened during the later half of the year). But you know, life goes on despite the tragedies and the heartache. It has to. And so it did.

I really didn't know what I could add to the overwhelming amount of remembrances I've seen all over Twitter for the anniversary of Miura's passing. Maybe I didn't really need to say anything at all.

... But then this guy named K.S. died.

Okay, sooooo this is going to be weird and unorthodox, and if you're not black and particularly Black American, you most likely have no idea who I'm talking about (and I envy you for that). In fact, I'm not even going to say his full name, but again, if you're in the grapevine, you'll know whom I'm referring to.

In a nutshell, K.S. was a podcaster whose name to fame was essentially being derogatory toward women, particularly black women; he was basically part of the manosphere and dished out advice to men and women who for some reason called into his show to be publicly degraded by him in an effort to "improve themselves." Naturally I deviate away from listening to those type of podcasts (and for the record, I don't really listen to the female equivalent either if such a thing exists; I'm honestly just another stereotypical true crime/paranormal listening chick), but every snippet I've ever come across... left a lot to be desired.

And now he too is part of the aether.

Of course I'm not going to go so far as to say that I'm glad the guy is dead, but I'm not going to say I'm upset either. I think that's the humblest approach. Rather than focus on my personal feelings of it all - being part of the demographic that was the target of K.S.'s ire - I think I'm just going to make the observation of this guy dying close to the same date as our beloved Miura-sensei and focus on legacy.

K.S. spent a portion of his 57 years - three years more than what was given to Miura - being a most unsavory and toxic human being and encouraged his listeners to be as unsavory and toxic as he was. As far as we know, up to his last day in this mortal coil he spent it exuding some deep-seated resentment he had toward BW - he literally built his livelihood on that energy, and ironically he died the way he claimed BW would if they didn't shape up: alone.

It's weird because both he and Miura were around the same age bracket and died the same way (heart attack) and there's a lot of speculation on either side ("what could have caused Miura's heart attack?" "K.S.'s heart was full of hate and that's why his heart gave out."). They each impacted the lives of many and each have a dedicated following.

But I think you can see where we begin making some distinctions.

The thing about podcasters like K.S. - "men with mics" as it's now dubbed - is just what actually makes them happy in life? What TRULY brings value to them? I could ask the usual what's their ambition or ultimate dream in life, but I think instead I ask, what are their daily whims? I think daily whims are important because they're those little moments and adventures that can take you and your headspace to a different level. I do a lot of those and they really helped me after Miura's passing.

It is unfortunately true to many people that all publicity is good publicity, even when that publicity is rooted in being awful, and people can make careers out of having an awful personality in a media-idol world. It's just weird that people choose to go down that path instead of doing something that makes them whole, whether it brings them into the spotlight or they revel in a shady area. I know that fame and power makes people forget about their own mortality, but alas, a lot of people get close calls and still go down that path.

Though I haven't really talked about it on here, I will hint that the biggest hardship I had endure last year was relationship-based. It's hard because I in fact had a close call - brace yourself - on the same day Miura died.

Yeah. Really, REALLY made shit so much shittier for my part.

But I remember saying in that moment, that I really wanted to see them face-to-face if I made it through.

And I made it so.

But I'm here now without them, so I guess it was not to be.

I'm still healing, and as with most events like these, a part of me will always remain wounded.

But in two days, I'll be going to Ecuador to continue my work in archaeology, and I'm going to make the most of my time while I'm there, thinking of ways to excel my own career ambitions and research. And the funny thing is that part of the reason I want to go down there so badly is so that I can come back and continue doing those little things I love that aren't career related: creating art, writing stories, spending time at my favorite haunts and with my friends, conversing with nature in my biome.

Sure, I could spend my time dishing out dating and relationship advice (based on many podcasts, it doesn't seem like being in a steady relationship is a prerequisite to start one) in order to soothe my wounded heart and ego, but I could also spend that energy making a podcast about my career topics and talk to awesome like-minded people. OR I could also just start yet another true-crime/haunted history podcast. Those things bring much more value to me, just like my daily whims.

I wonder if Miura did things like that, if he allowed himself to. His life was spent creating a masterpiece, but we've already implicated to the problematic nature of the industry he was in. But I think it's easy to say that despite the dark nature of his work and the various opinions people have on it - and the arguments we've gotten over -Miura managed not only to bring people together but to put forth a positive light in the world through the message of Berserk and the life he led to bring his story into being.

Despite the comparative nature of the two men and the presence of an expansive audience belonging to each - one being more of a positive force than the other IMHO - the matter of legacy applies to us all because we'll all leave one whether we become famous or not. We've probably all said at some point that we wouldn't care how people remembered us when we die, but I don't think it's true - not entirely at least.

I think it's one of those things we have to continue pondering, one year later.

((The Master and Frascona (volume warning)))

“Ohh, my. Would I be considered a ‘twink’, Captain Wrath?”

“W-Well, if I may be frank, Master, one of your disguises was…. rather twinkish….”

“Are you going to attempt to disrespect me as Guts has to Lord Griffith? You know I am capable of more than a silly little 'eclipse’…”

“Absolutely not, Master!! I am loyal to you for all eternity!!” But boy oh boy what he wouldn’t give for an opportunity to yell at the Master and find happiness in the end.

With the anniversary of Muira's passing upon us, I feel compelled to write a reflection. A lot is happening in my personal life ATM, so maybe I'll get to something tomorrow.

One year since Kentaro Miura left us & I wanna believe Berserk was not just about Guts reclaiming his humanity after the worst happening to him, but that he never had to be alone. And I think that was by extension showing us that Miura was never alone in making this series.

I feel that, if only a little, we could see Miura's progress as a mangaka through Guts' journey. A man living on borrowed time but doesn't fully consume himself into loneliness & emptiness. He didn't just change himself, he became an anchor for those that got to know the real him.

Duranki was a testament that Miura not only had support in his life, he wanted others to join in what he saw in Berserk with this project I believe was Studio Gaga's project, not just Miura's.

And with Guts being able to get friends and have a family again, Miura did more than enough to make Berserk not just the best manga of all, but the most satisfying legend of all time regardless of what couldn't be. I only hope he knew that before and now.

#kentaro miura #continue to rest in peace #Berserk #RIP
