For me the clearest indicator that the new writers are just winging it is what they did with Rakshas.
The last thing Miura wrote featuring Rakshas had him being shot in the face with a medieval rocket launcher after which he falls into the sea. He could be dead, he might be alive who knows?
The next time he appears Miura is dead and we're at the mercy of the new writers.
Rakshas inexplicably appears in the middle of the meeting of Kushan elders. No explanation for his survival, no explanation for how he got there, nothing.
They even have Rakshas point this out, he says something to the effect of "how am I alive?".
He then attacks everyone, gets absolutely btfo in the process and runs away to find Guts for yet another unexplained reason.
Guts is chained and in the middle of his cucked blue screen arc so he doesn't even fight back, Rakshas is about to kill him before Silat appears and kills Rakshas by stabbing him in the back of the head. It's that simple to kill an apostle apparently, even when that same apostle made a point during their previous fight of saying his head isn't necessarily where his mask is.

I refuse to believe that's what Miura planned. Rickert either killed him or something else would have happened. He wouldn't have clumsily resurrected him just so could get shat on for a chapter or two before getting killed off for good.
The character was introduced and it was immediately apparent he had his own independent plans. His first appearance he threatens to kill Griffith, later he shows Silat Ganishka's demon birthing bussy and then he hides in Zodd's wings when reality was broken atop the world tree.
All of those little details amounted to nothing. What was the fucking point of this character?

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk, I wrote more than I meant to but as I recalled each plot point I got more autistically upset.
