Definitely. Also, Miura will probably die before he draws the last chapter lol.
But yeah, especially Guts walking out on the Band of the Hawk was inspired by events in his life.
I think Casca will definitely be healed and therefore the arc that comes after will be the last one. Miura said that the story was about 60-70% done a few years ago I think, so whatever comes next will definitely be the final showdown. that said, I'll bet some of my money (always being cautious) that Miura will be more regularly releasing chapters now that he's getting used to digital art and that he's healing Casca. This is a major plot-defining moment, so now that he needs to build up to the next one, he should be able to hurry things up. That probably doesn't mean Berserk will be ending soon though, I still think in the next decade. :/ Oh well. More Berserk rereads for me.
Cool ^^
Well I'm glad to know that, I think it's the best way it could go right now. I kinda had this One Piece vibe when they started traveling on ship with all these monsters popping everywhere, that was really epic. There is just so much material to make a long adventure like OP but I guess the circumstances make heading towards the closure the better solution. I'm still frustrated with what Berserk could have been but knowing the chapters will get more frequent is a relief.
