A corporation will naturally outlive its creator. But with a story written and drawn by one person, there's no expectation that the series must continue after their death. So what Studio Gaga did by mandating it to continue to a previously discussed conclusion is both admirable and reckless. And while I’m sure it’s nice that Miura’s assistants get to keep their jobs, I don't think the continuation is exclusively about profit for the people who are working on it. For Hakusensha (the publisher)? Sure, of course. Easy decision to make, right? But for Mori, I do believe it's very personal for him; I do think he's trying to do right by his friend. I just think he made the wrong decision.Kind of like a CEO stepping down and a new one taking the rains. Promising everything to be as good as before, to preserve the image of Miura and to check all of the marketing B**S** boxes in their statements, but in the end all they are thinking about is making as much profit as possible for as long as possible.
He meant what Griffith said in Ep 358, when he laid out the plan for the "second empire." It's not about emotions. Whatever human Griffith wanted is synonymous with what Femto wanted and is in the cards for the God Hand's ultimate plans. That's how causality works.Are we taking about previous intentions of Griffith, not Femto, here? That's a doubt I always have(not just with the continuation) because we know that Femto doesn't have any human emotions on him, Griffith humans intentions was just a causality parallel to his future God Hands "role"(if that's a thing) or Femto just still want to finish his later human intentions (i know that's surely not the case, but is something that always comes in my mind) and that's a signal of some weakness to exploit, apparently he doesn't have any weakness besides the obvious Moonlight Boy.
The new team did 7 episodes in 2022.Just sharing my thoughts here because if Mori plans to finish Berserk with 4 episodes a year, and in less than five years (just hypothetically) them that's a thing that he have to explicit know Miura's intentions for us to have an end for the story.
