For these last few months, we weren't sure about the cause of death of Kazuki Takahashi, bite of shark, or attacked by some ocean creature or something, recently it was found in this article from US military journal here:
If click the picture, it does give you the article, I'm still processing, but this news that he died drowning from trying to rescue people from a riptide, it makes his death hits even harder, specially when you look at his work, specifically Yu-Gi-Oh!, the messages he wanted to express, it was always noticeable that he was sincere in his work and messages, interviews, he died a hero.
He wasn'r afraid to lose his life if meant saving someone else or attempting, which always reminds like how Yugi and Jounouchi were willing to give up their lives to save each other, like Pharaoh Atem who put his whole existence in the line to save his own country as it's ruler, lost his memories and forgot his own name, or when Yugi wasn't afraid to lose against Kaiba or kept trying to fight Pegasus with Dark Yugi until he lost consciousness, I could go on and on, Kazuki Takahashi standing for what he preached, convictions, his messages in his work, yet...is so heartbreaking for such a loss, selfless and kind.
In his memory...I will select panels that potrays these messages...
Kazuki Takahashi was always my favourite storyteller of all time, this story he shared with us, Yu-Gi-Oh! is also my favourite story of all time, his messages in his work given me advice when I needed the most, you can say he "gave up" his life to save someone else...the right way of putting is that he "was not afraid to lose" his life whether it would happen or not happen, even though is heartbreaking yet heroic, he did it for he stood for, he knew the risks, he is also very courageous, it's interesting that he kind of embodied Yugi and Atem in someway, the kindness, the courage, capable to do selfless acts to save and protect someone...the sense of justice as well...
