私、カレー小僧、カレー仙人ことSHUTAROはガンと診断され闘病生活を始める事となりました。
Bloodstainedの続編は既に私のほうで話、ゲームなどの構想は出来ております。今後は分担して引き継いでもらいます。
応援よろしくお願いいたします。
I, SHUTARO, also known as Curry Boy and Curry Sage, have been diagnosed with cancer and have begun my battle with the disease.
I have already started talking about the sequel to Bloodstained, and have ideas for the game and such. From now on, we will have them share the responsibilities.
Thank you for your support.​

これまで、DSシリーズやブラッドステインドは実質的にSHUTAROディレクターを中心に制作を行ってきました。正に彼の作品と言えるでしょう。
そんな彼がプロジェクトから遠ざかるのは大変な痛手ですが、それに負けぬよう頑張ります。
また一緒に仕事ができるまで回復することを期待します。
Up until now, the DS series and Bloodstained have essentially been produced primarily by Director SHUTARO. It can truly be called his work.
It is a great blow to have him step away from the project, but we will do our best not to be defeated by it.
I hope that you will recover quickly enough to work with us again.​
