“

With Volume 24, the Steel Ball Run race is completed. Everyone, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for being such loving readers. Just what was the holy corpse that appeared here? I never explained it thoroughly right up to the end, but I wrote it as a symbol of purity. I think that the sense of purity is extremely important: like the difference between good and evil, virtue, and what should be respected, it can be understood instinctively. You can be sure that the one who obtains the corpse will find happiness.

この24巻で、ＳＢＲレースは完結します。皆様、心よりご愛読惑謝申し上げます。

ここに登場する「聖なる遺体」とはいったい何者だったのでしょうか？
最後までハッキリとは言いきりませんでしたが、「清らか」なものの象徴として書きました。「清らかさ」という感覚はとても大切な感覚だそうで、善悪の区別や、美徳や敬うべきものが、本能的に理解できるそうです。
「遺体」を手にする者は間違いなく「幸せ」になるのでしょう。
