Mori admits that with only what he knows, the story doesn't make sense.
Regarding the final part of the story, "there are still many difficult questions to solve, and there are things on which Miura had not yet made up his mind."
Mori says that he could never create or draw Berserk with what abilities he has
And that right there is the real problem with this continuation.
A Berserk continuation that does
not respect Miura's work and vision (everything that Miura wrote in Volumes 1 - 41), and introduces totally unnecessary plot holes and retcons, and takes massive shortcuts to race to the ending, is definitely
not "the story that Miura wanted to tell".
Miura would *never* do this.
Miura would *never* introduce a new party member (Isma) and give her unique abilities (she can survive underwater, she can tame lesser water spirit creatures, she can attack enemies with a magical song, she has a connection to the mermaids), and give her a unique magical item (the magic seashell that Isma didn't even get a chance to use yet), only to eliminate her at the end of the ElfHelm story arc. That's literally
not Miura's writing style. Just imagine if Farnese, Serpico, and Isidro were killed off at the end of the Troll Extermination adventure.
And Miura would *never* show us multiple panoramic views of Falconia, and explain to us that Falconia now stands where the capital city of Midland once stood, and make it perfectly clear that *the capital city of Midland is landlocked*, if he really planned for Falconia to have a seaport.
And Miura would *never* show us that Schierke
did *not* lose any of her powers after Flora's Spirit Tree Mansion was destroyed, if he really planned for the Skellig Island's mages to "lose their powers" after their home is destroyed. If Miura didn't know what to do with these Skellig Island mages... he would have them *die with the island*. It's that simple. He would explain to us that Schierke, Farnese, and maybe Morda are now the only magic users left alive in the West. He would
not invent some ridiculous plot twist ("they lost their powers") that doesn't even make sense and contradicts his own carefully established continuity.
And Miura would *never* have Guts, Farnese, and Schierke
say absolutely NOTHING when Griffith kidnapped Casca. That's just common sense. He would *never* write that scene with no dialogue. Guts would be yelling "Don't touch her!!!" and "You bastard!!!". Farnese and Schierke would at least say something like "No!" and "Leave her alone!".
What makes this even worse is the fact that Mori
was Miura's best friend. He is not some 3rd party hack who isn't even familiar with Berserk. So *why* is Mori doing such a poor job? Why is Mori
not respecting Miura's work and continuity? If Mori simply isn't capable of writing a continuation of Berserk that respects Miura's work and vision, he should have been brutally honest with the publisher of this manga and with the fans: "I'm sorry but I can't do this. I don't have enough material to write a proper final story arc for Berserk".
