Following the 25th and final episode broadcast of Edens Zero on Sunday, the official website of the television anime announced that the series director Yuuji Suzuki died on September 9 in a hospital in Tokyo.

Before helming Edens Zero with chief director Shinji Ishihara, Suzuki served as an episode director on the second and final Fairy Tail seasons, Saint Seiya: Soul of Gold, Choujin Koukousei-tachi wa Isekai demo Yoyuu de Ikinuku you desu! (Choyoyu!: High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even in Another World!), and Seisen Cerberus: Ryuukoku no Fatalités (Cerberus).

Suzuki recently worked as the action director for Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu (Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy) during the Summer 2021 season.

Hearing this news just when the anime finished airing on Nippon TV is just sad.

RIP Yuuji Suzuki. May your soul depart in peace, knowing that you've done a good work.

This is quite suddenly, RIP.
Even though I haven't watched Edens Zero, I enjoyed his work/participation in Tsukimichi and Fairy Tail :(

Damn, this was too sudden! My sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones.

I’ve only watched the first half of Edens Zero so far and that too just recently so this is really saddening.

RIP. i really hope he passed away peacefully, not because overwork related.

Rest in peace, sensei.
First they came for the EreMika shippers, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not an EreMika shipper.

Then they came for the Gabi fans, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Gabi fan.

Then they came for those who loved AOT's ending, and I did not speak out—
    Because I didn't care about AOT's ending.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

An action director of Tsukimichi ~Moonlight Fantasy~, R.I.P.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Wait, what?! I checked MAL News in hope of seeing an announcement of Edens Zero getting a S2 but instead, I saw the director of it passing away?!! So sad... And right after his show ended too... Rest in Peace... At least may you know that you've directed a great show...
