I, SHUTARO, also known as Curry Boy and Curry Sage, have been diagnosed with cancer and have begun my battle with the disease.
I have already started talking about the sequel to Bloodstained, and have ideas for the game and such. From now on, we will have them share the responsibilities.
Thank you for your support.

これまで、DSシリーズやブラッドステインドは実質的にSHUTAROディレクターを中心に制作を行ってきました。正に彼の作品と言えるでしょう。
そんな彼がプロジェクトから遠ざかるのは大変な痛手ですが、それに負けぬよう頑張ります。
また一緒に仕事ができるまで回復することを期待します。
Up until now, the DS series and Bloodstained have essentially been produced primarily by Director SHUTARO. It can truly be called his work.
It is a great blow to have him step away from the project, but we will do our best not to be defeated by it.
I hope that you will recover quickly enough to work with us again.

I hope they found it quick enough for him to recover from it. That's horrifying to find.

 

[Dynasty8]

Really sad. Fuck cancer.

 

[Ceadeus]

Wow, now that's sad. Let's hope for recovery

 

[Buggy Loop]

Fuck cancer

Time passes and I'm shocked we're still trailing for treatments. Feels like its been 30 years of "yea we're almost there!"

 

[IFireflyl]

Cancer and Alzheimer's are two of the most debilitating and damaging things I can think of. I wouldn't wish those on anyone.

I feel like it's all a masquerade. Many cure to many disease probably are known but the society needs its healthcare network to be running. Otherwise many job would be lost, elitist wouldn't make as much money and so on. It sounds sick but this has to be the reality, madness like this is all around us so it's why I wouldn't be surprised at all.

I work in R&D for a medical device manufacturer. Trust me, if we had a cure for cancer we’d release it and make an absolute shitload of money from it. Even the rumors that we had such a thing would send the stock price through the roof and make our shareholders very happy. Nobody’s sitting on a cure just for the sake of keeping the “system” going or whatever.

Well I think otherwise. Was I talking to you?

It was a stupid conspiracy theory take you put on a public forum and he respectfully corrected you. Now humbly take the L and disengage if you're so sensitive to such a mild response.

Do you know how a message board works? What a stupid thing to say.

We are not trailing. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are very effective, the problem is cancers being detected in late stage III or IV, at that point you can’t do much. Vast majority of cancers remain treatable. Context: I had cancer.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

A shame. I really enjoyed Bloodstained 1 and the 8 bit titles. Good times. Hopefully hell have a speedy recovery.

 

[Fbh]

Damn that sucks.
Hopefully they caught it early and he makes a full recovery

There have been advancements and improvements in treatment. As far as I'm aware a big complexity is that all forms of cancer are different, it's very unlikely we'll find a single big cure for it. From my understanding the most realistic "treatment" we can hope to achieve in the near to mid future are better and cheaper forms of screening, a lot of cancers are highly treatable as long as you find them early.

Cure for cancer would be more beneficial longterm if given for free or a affordable price. Curing cancer would retain workers and society wants workers to work as long as they can.

Now when it comes to World Hunger I doubt that'll ever happen. Companies want you to buy as much as possible.

 

[FoxMcChief]

That sucks.

 

[Gamerguy84]

Hope he beats it. Absolutely fuck cancer as my wife just spent 2 years fighting it.

Beneficial to whom? Big Pharma?
The current trend is society needs less and less workers, and preferrably young and cheap. Cancer his mostly older people, and the cancer industry is real. Too much money involved.

my best wishes

 

[Pejo]

Terrible news, hope they caught it early.

 

[Astray]

Hope he can recover from this. Cancer sucks.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Fuck cancer, hope he recovers!

 

[STARSBarry]

Yeah this sucks.

He has my best wishes for as little as those are worth.
