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.

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...

Wow, my condolences. This is really unexpected bad news. Am I getting it right that this was his first fully directed show?
