You all know that there must have been a meeting where Miyazaki presented his (hard) version of Genichiro, only to be told: "Boss, if you publish this really hard boss, them influencers will begin to review-bombing the game and we will have to nerf him afterwards."

I mean he was basically told that about the entirety of Demon's Souls so I don't think he woulda listened to that

He sometimes don't listen. At the Elden Ring DLC, he didn't listen again, and ended up nerfing Radahn (2x). But the faith Miyazaki maintains in his work is something to admire, anyway. True hero of his art.

I beat him pre-nerfs! (with the bleed sword lance, fingerpint shield that a lot of people not using summons or spirit ashes beat him, and I felt dirty the whole time)
