Berserk - Ch. 380 - Shadows Die Twice

[MangaDex]

 

[DesertStorm]

We REALLY need more grimdark from Berserk. Thankfully, Mori Kouji's the mangaka working on this!

He's the guy built for this shit.

Is that a motherfucking Sekiro reference? /s

 

[gmanhunt]

Early Berserk chapter release jumpscare

 

[mr4merica]

Man, I have to play sekiro again, that reference came out of nowhere.

 

[Josehsmentol]

Guts needs a bitchslap and someone to upgrade the dragon slayer.

Impossible...2 chapters in a month

 

[LunicShadow]

The art becoming more like Kentaro Miura's work ever since chapter 365, Kouji Mori really improved and making more like Miura's art

 

[Ironclad]

What an unremarkable end for Rakshas. Pacing still feels really rushed. Like they're working from a handful of Miura's notes on how the arc was suppose to progress, and instead of filling the gaps themselves they just cut it short. Hopefully they have more to work with from here on.

If I'm remembering correctly that's exactly what Mori said he was gonna do. He was not gonna add anything and try to reach the conclusion Miura wanted with what he had.
Googling I got this:
"I will recall the details as much as possible and tell the story. Also, I will only write the episodes that Miura talked to me about. I will not flesh it out. I will not write episodes that I don’t remember clearly. I will only write the lines and stories that Miura described to me."

Feels bad for Guts.. Can he even recover?

Filling the gaps is a twopronged sword.
For one, the notes likely would've been expanded if they were done by Miura himself most likely. For the other, putting his interpretations into it could result into it becoming more fanfic like, see the game of thrones show or opm with the artist. Here they prefer to err on the side off caution, given how much they respect him.

 

[R0dr1g0-Shin]

Well, i can understand why Silat is angry, he views Guts as a rival to surpass, since Guts had that much impact on him with his strength

 

[Chuggoth]

"Guts is sad, Guts is not sad anymore, Guts gets up, Guts punches Griffith in the face, Guts is happy, The End".
Is this the story we're going for?

 

[Sky_Ravager]

new chapter lets goooo

 

[alacaelum]

Silat is one of the few people that have been against Guts' full might and survived, he hates him... but he too respects the hell out of his strength, seeing him like that must be grating.

Yeah, there is no way to posthumously complete an author's work the way the author wanted, the creative process is not linear, one may plan the beats of the story before hand, have everything lined up... and at the moment of putting ink to paper, they change everything, or use those plans as no more than guidelines.

Mori-sensei took the thankless job of finishing his friend's story, because he is probably one of the few people that know what Miura-sensei had planned, he himself is an accomplished author and he has the team that Miura trained and refined for years... but there is a limit.

Personaly, I accept it, I have come to therms that the "perfect" Miura's Berserk is no more, but this is like a funeral procession for him, done by his friends and colleagues, if it was a stand alone story they would be doing a flawless job, but they can only do so much, and I appreciate what they are doing because in the end... they are doing this for the fans as much as they are doing it for Miura-sensei.
