A Memorial Work Dedicated to Mr. Kentarou Miura

ART OF WAR, having developed a deep connection with the late Kentarou Miura through years of producing Berserk sculptures. 

We have had the great privilege of sharing his vision of the world through a variety of conversation and discussion not only about Berserk itself but also about the films, books and experiences that createdhis world as well as his in-depth knowledge of armor and costume.

After his unexpected passing, driven by a desire to honor his legacy and to express our gratitude for the time we spent with him, we released Guts Requiem in 2022.

Guts Requiem channeled Miura’s essence through Guts, the protagonist, capturing a serene expression that mirrored Miura himself – calm on the surface yet holding an inner, unexpressed passion that embodied his intense spirit and unwavering dedication to his craft.

■ A Two-Part Homage 

However, it was one of two parts, and with this work, Guts Requiem Kai, the memorial work comes to a conclusion. 

The first Guts Requiem depicted Guts in his human form, symbolizing “stillness”. In contrast, Guts Requiem Kai portrays Guts in his armor-clad “Berserker” form, representing “movement.” 

The creation of this work took over a year, building upon its predecessor but incorporating extensive modifications to enhance both detail and power. Every aspect of the sculpture was carefully refined, from the positioning of the wrists and ankles to the overall composition. Special focus was placed on capturing the Berserker armor’s fierce, mechanical essence, conveying a sense of row power and a near absence of conscious will, setting it apart from Guts Requiem. 

Photographing this work was one of the most difficult in recent year, as it is difficult for a two-dimensional image to convey the volume of information, intricate form, presence, and image of a three-dimensional work of art. 

If you actually see it, you will be amazed at the highest level of perfection ever achieved. We hope that you will experience it for yourself.

■ Realistic Proportions and Detail

In pursuit of enhanced realism, we carefully balanced the sculpture’s proportions. The torso and limbs were designed to fit snugly within the armor, accentuating muscular definition, while the head was slightly enlarged to reflect the natural limits of the skull. This meticulous attention to detail results in a piece that is both strikingly realistic and powerfully dynamic. 

The Senma Soldier was also created based on a thorough study of actual medieval costumes and the coloring was also done in reference to the existing costumes of the time. The Senma soldier alone is a high-level work of art that can only be produced by ART OF WAR. 

■ Dedication to Detail 

Our unwavering commitment to precision in every detail reflects our deep respect for Kentarou Miura and a desire to create a piece that would honor his vision. This dedication underscores our company’s ongoing mission to bring the world of Berserk to life in a way that truly honors its legendary creator. 

We are more than happy that Mr. Miura was pleased to mention our company's name (Kenshin Co., Ltd.) in his interview at the Great Berserk Exhibition.

We have been creating statues as a professional sculptor, focusing on the reality of the three-dimentional representation of Berserk, which is different from the manga, and we believe that this will bring the world of Berserk to life and pay homage to the Berserk itself as depicted by Mr. Miura.

■ A Final Tribute to Kentarou Miura 

Like “the individual and the group", "Guts and Griffith", opposites accentuate each other in Berserk.

Through these two works, representing “stillness and movement,” we aim to share the world of Berserk and honor Miura’s monumental achievements with dedicated fans around the world.

They his marks the final memorial piece dedicated to Kentarou Miura.We once again extend our deepest condolences and heartfelt wishes for the peace of the late Miura-sensei.
