One year ago on May 19, our Ninja had passed after losing his battle with cancer. Densetsu was known for not only his contributions to the NDS scene, but for his extremely amazing personality. He would go out of his way to help everyone and kept a calm level head no matter what pressure he was under. He never lost his cool and was always willing to work things out, earning him the utmost respect for the community. He was also an inspiring doctor going through medical school. Something he was extremely passionate about, coupled with his love for gaming.
Densetsu's legacy still lives on in the hearts of those who had the pleasure to work with him.
To quote @BORTZ

We don't mourn for you, we mourn for us. Because you were stolen.
You are gone, but never forgotten. Your memory lives on.
Keep rolling, brother. The skies are open for you.

RIP Densetsu 2016

Can't believe it's been a year since...

 

[Boured]

I never knew him, and now i never will. But death is never good and I hope he rests in peace, that's all I can really say about it.

 

[Ev1l0rd]

Never knew him, but losing any major community member is unfortunate. RIP Densetsu.

Cancer is truly a horrible disease, and even though cures are being made, it doesn't change the fact that every death caused by it is one too many.

What age did the poor guy die in?

It's been a year already ? :/

Time sure does fly by fast ... rip Ninja Doctor.

 

[Pluupy]

What age did the poor guy die in?

...Sengoku period?

I don't really have an answer to that question because no one really ever really said to begin with. I do know that he was getting treated for his cancer and that he was doing better before his passing.
If there is any comforting words I can give, is that he was a true ninja. He struck us in our hearts and vanished before he even knew what hit us.

My heart still skips a beat when I see your avatar with the corner of my eye.
I so regret having a small quarrel with him before he died. Something stupid about grammar but yeah...

Something rather relevant to that thought. After that mental breakdown I had a few months ago and tried to quit, it was actually an email about a comment I made on his profile that got me to return back to reality and come back.
Seeing that just reminded me of the times he would contact me whenever he noticed something was amiss about me. He always wanted to make sure I was doing ok, make sure I was actually eating or getting enough sleep. He really looked out for me on the Temp and most likely looked out for other members as well. It's been a rough year not having that kind of buffer when you really needed it most, but somehow he still found away to keep me grounded.
I can't stress enough just how amazing a person he was. He rightfully holds the title of Legend.

Damn... kinda insane if you think about it. I'm here, sitting, breathing and reading this, while he's somewhere between the skies

R.i.P.

 

[AsPika2219]

My memory..... Densetsu..... Thanks for making nice translations for best DS games. RIP.....

 

[Joom]

RIP
but couldn't chemotherapy save him? FUCK CANCER

Unfortunately chemo isn't the cure for cancer. Depending on the severity of it chemo just staves it off long enough to keep someone alive for a small extension of time. It's also immensely painful to those receiving it. Many decide to not even go through with it because of such.

 

[DeslotlCL]

Never had the pleasure to meet him, but as people describe him, he sure was a fantastic person.

May he rest in peace and the memories of him will always stay alive on those who loved him.

I hope this community could follow his example and stop the cancer and shitposting from most of the users...

 

[Deleted member 377734]

Pest in peace, dood, you deserve it..

 

[jamezfat]

such a sad story... i never had an account at the time so i didn't really interact with him, but from all his helpful posts to downright being a kind guy. he will always be remembered as not just a source of information but a great person and a greater friend...





rest in spaghetti, never forgetti

 

[Alkéryn]

Wow i didn't realised it have been a year, i didn't knew him that much but it is definitely sad
RIP

 

[Hells Malice]

A year already, huh?
Wow.
He was a really great guy, it's always so sad that they're the ones that get taken away. I was just done for the day once I saw that he had passed away.

He'll always be remembered around here, and will always be in the heart of the community.

RIP Densetsu
I used to visit his profile sometimes.

 

[the_randomizer]

Ah geez, reading this me tear up

Cancer is horrible, I lost a friend of mine who lived two houses down from me from Li Fraumeni Syndrome (extremely rare cancer where the P-51 tumor suppressor gene is missing), and succumbed to brain cancer. But Densetsu as well,
I spoke to him, he was amazing, he helped me with learning Japanese and a way to improve it, I'll never forget him...

 

[Dionicio3]

I wished I could join to see him

Fuck cancer

 

[wurstpistole]

Who? Why have I never heard of this. I was around and active.
