44->''Nearly 30 years ago, Miura called me and said, “I need to talk to you about drawing a rough draft.” I went to his workplace just to talk as we always do, but Miura looked more serious than usual. “I need to draw the Eclipse,” he said. I sensed it would be hard work, but couldn’t believe it when I was trapped indoors for a week… In that very moment, the storyline for Berserk was completed, until the very last chapter.\
45Strangely, the story for Berserk went on exactly as we discussed at the time, with almost no changes. I continued to talk to Miura often, whenever there was a big episode. We did so ever since we were students, consulting each other while working on manga.\
46I think people with good intuition would realize by now that I know the story for Berserk up to the very end. Still, I cannot say that I can draw it because I know it. That is because only the genius Kentaro Miura can write a masterpiece like Berserk.\
47However, a great responsibility has fallen on me.\
48While he was alive, Miura said, “I haven’t told anyone other than you, Mori, about the story in its entirety.” And that was the truth. It is too big a responsibility. I thought, should I talk to fans about it through an interview? Or should I publish an article with some illustrations? But that wouldn’t convey the scenes that Miura described to me, or the lines of Guts and Griffith…\
49Just when I was trying to decide what to do, I received a message.\
50“The staff are saying they will finish the last chapter that was left behind, so can you take a look?”\
51The last few pages of the chapter were incomplete. Some did not even have the characters drawn on them.\
52I took a look at the manuscript, without expecting much.\
53Desperation can push people to create miracles — There it was, the completed manuscript for Berserk.\
54“Mr. Mori, will you let us do it?”\
55Miura’s apprentices, who Miura had been so proud of while he was alive, asked me straight.\
56Company Director Shimada, a mentor for me and Miura, also said, “If you do it, the company will give our full support.”\
57I thought, if I run away now, Miura would say:\
58“I talked to you about it so much, but you didn’t do it!!”\
59Alright. I’ll do it properly.\
60I have a message and promise to everyone. I will recall the details as much as possible and tell the story.\
61Also, 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. Of course, it will not be perfect. Still, I think I can almost tell the story that Miura wanted to tell.\
62The talent Miura’s apprentices have are real!\
63They are brilliant artists.\
64Many of you may not be fully satisfied with the Berserk written without Miura, but we hope everyone’s thoughts will be with us.\
65We ask you for your continued support.''
66-->-- '''Kouji Mori''' announcing the continuation of ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' a year after the death of Creator/KentaroMiura

68->'''Bucket''': Good grief, Salzella, you're an educated man! How can you sit there so calmly and accept this sort of madness? Some creature in a mask has the run of the place, gets a prime Box all to himself, kills people, and you sit there saying there will be trouble?\
69'''Salzella''': I told you: the show must go on.\
70'''Bucket''': ''Why?'' We never said "the cheese must go on"! What's so special about the show going on?\
71'''Salzella''': As far as I understand it, the ... power behind the show, the soul of the show, all the effort that's gone into it, call it what you will ... it leaks out and spills everywhere. That's why they burble about "the show must go on". It ''must'' go on. But most of the company wouldn't even understand why anyone should ask the question.
