According to fan discussions on Reddit, the interview was initially scheduled to air during an exhibition before Kentaro Miura’s untimely passing. Following the tragic event, it was decided to include the interview as part of the Blu-ray release instead.
The Twitter user who shared the clip also mentioned their intention to post the entire special interview. In the meantime, numerous image screenshots have been shared by other owners of the special edition. Many of these images and videos are still in Japanese, but fans are hopeful that the publishing magazine will translate the interview and make it available to a global audience.
This recent discovery of Kentaro Miura’s interview has put a smile on the faces of countless Berserk fans. Many manga authors choose to avoid the camera for privacy reasons, and Miura was no exception. The images previously available online were decades old, so this rare glimpse into the author’s life is a true treasure for his fans.
Berserk is a dark fantasy manga series by Kentaro Miura which follows lone swordsman Guts and mercenary band leader Griffith in a medieval Europe-inspired world. Debuting in 1988 with a prototype, the series later appeared in Hakusensha’s Monthly Animal House and Young Animal. After Miura’s passing in May 2021, the series resumed in June 2022 under his childhood friend and fellow manga author, Kouji Mori and Studio Gaga’s supervision.
