Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

With the gates of Wall Rose blocked, the battle was declared won, and the giants that remained in Wall Rose were cleared out one after another.

To put it bluntly, although the giants are scary, as long as they do not come in an endless stream, humans can use "manpower" and "cannons" to clear out these giants in an organized manner.

After all, although giants are powerful, most of them are unintelligent, just like wild beasts.

Even wild animals are quite intelligent and can seek benefits and avoid harm.

But the giants seemed to have no instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. They only knew to devour humans until the moment they were hit in the vitals and died completely.

So once the giant is alone or surrounded, it is easy to get rid of it.

However... the casualties during this operation were enormous.

In this battle, there were 207 soldiers killed or missing, and 897 wounded.

This number may not sound thrilling enough, because the soldiers of the four major corps actually have higher quality requirements than real soldiers.

Because of the training of the three-dimensional mobile device, it can be said that the resources for training a soldier have increased several times, or even ten times.

So if we multiply this number by ten, or put it another way, the number of elite soldiers killed or wounded reached a thousand, then such casualties would be extremely terrifying.

Even if the above statement is not true, the deaths or disappearances of more than 200 people and the injuries of more than 800 people are still shocking. After all, those are all living lives.

Among the survivors, whose family members, friends, and companions are they?
Just like...

During the post-war cleanup of the bodies, Allen's former mortal enemy asked a soldier who was not seriously injured to help clean up the streets.

In the many battles with giants, humans have learned that if the corpses are not properly handled, they will rot, stink, and bring disease.

However, just as he walked to the center of the street, he unexpectedly saw a corpse that he found incredible.

"Hey……"

He froze in place, and after repeated confirmation, he asked the corpse in a somewhat absurd tone, "Are you... Marco?"

In the middle of the street, a corpse, whose body and head had been half eaten off by a giant, lay there helplessly.

This is actually...

Allen and Marco Bott, who graduated seventh in the same training corps!

He has always been among the strongest soldiers of his time, has considerable charisma, and a very clear mind.

He is usually very considerate of his companions and teammates, has extremely high leadership and organizational abilities, and is deeply trusted by his companions.

During the memorable training period, many soldiers expressed their hope to fight under Marco's command in the future.

This includes... Jean as a good friend.

But he died miserably here...

Jean couldn't believe it, but he finally accepted the fact.

After all, anyone could be killed in front of a monster like a giant.

He was just a little confused as to why Marco died here. He didn't know he died in battle until he was found by him. It shouldn't be... shouldn't his comrades who fought with him at the time have reported it shortly after the war?

But what he didn't notice was that Marco didn't have any three-dimensional mobility device on his body. Even if his body was bitten off by the giant, the three-dimensional mobility device firmly tied to his body should not fall off.

On the other hand, Ani, who was a soldier of the same period as Eren, kept saying sorry for some reason...

Since then, many of Eren's companions of the same period, even those with names, such as Mina, Thomas, almost all the soldiers of Class 34, and even the top ten outstanding graduates like Marco, have died in the battle with the Titans.

This seems to highlight the cruelty and ruthlessness of fighting against giants, and at the same time... it also makes the fans feel...

Lin Qingshan's cutting in this work is irregular, even moody!
Thomas, who had a slight dispute with Allen, was eaten by the giant, but Jean, who was Allen's mortal enemy and wished each other badly, did not suffer any casualties.

And then... Mina, the cute girl character who was inspired by Eren and planned to join the Survey Corps after graduation, also died.

Logically speaking, this kind of character usually follows the protagonist and becomes an important character who joins the protagonist's team in the future.

Fans had already started to like Mina halfway through the show, but she got her head bitten off by a giant in her first battle...

Even now, Marco, a strong and clear-headed good guy, died tragically for no reason, which makes comic fans feel sorry.

So everyone looks at this posture...

Who knows what will happen if he gets stabbed in the back!

Maybe, just like before, Lin Qingshan has "relapsed into old illness" and is going under the knife everywhere!
So the fans expressed their opinions one after another——

"Wow...at this rate, I don't even dare to think who will be the next one to be stabbed."

"At first I thought there was no way Marco would die. He was the kind of person who made the final decision in the team. I thought he would join the Survey Corps with Eren and fight side by side."

"It's a bit too outrageous... I was stunned when Mina was eaten by the giant before, but at that time I was more focused on the fact that the protagonist Eren was also eaten."

"Now that I think about it... oooooh my Mina, Mina is really cute. And she was just moved by Eren and plans to join the Survey Corps after graduation."

"Mina is imitating her senior and turning around after only three episodes ()"

"Isn't it Lao Zei's favorite thing to do the knife when the character reaches the peak, or when people think it may reach the peak? He also said that this actually has a kind of regretful beauty..."

"You are really crazy, old thief...but you seem to have always been like this."

"Who says it's not true... The old thief went crazy and even stabbed the male lead (funny)."

"Of course. Think about it, who set the precedent of the boss defeating the hero in the finale?"

"I still can't forget the scene where Adam tore the hero apart with his bare hands with a hammer... It was too outrageous."

"That was the peak of the old thief's illness. He really went crazy and didn't care about anything. The hero was about to be stabbed. But things became much more normal afterwards. At least the villain didn't beat the hero to death in the ending."

"Otherwise, why do you say the old thief is a mental patient? I think the main point is to create an unexpected experience."

"No... I heard that my editor-in-chief begged me to be more restrained. To be honest, I always felt that the comic industry was hindering my creative freedom. Now that I have a new employer, why is I letting myself go?"

"??? The latter part is more restrained? Are you talking about "Flame Fist" or "Chainsaw Man"?"

"That depends on what you compare it with. Let me ask you, compared with Edgewalker, did the old thief restrain himself later? And the Flame Fist you mentioned was not serialized in the comic world at that time, but was directly published as a single volume."

"Yes, 'Flame Fist' was never serialized, but was directly published as a set of stand-alone books. The old thief called it a 'gift' to the fans at the time." "Ah, yes, yes, it is a gift. This gift is such a gift."

"I'm scared... Hearing you say that, I'm reminded of the fear I had when I was controlled by the old thief's Edgewalker, Flame Fist, and Chainsaw Man."

"Now watching Attack on Titan, it really feels so familiar... Will it really be a remake of Edgewalker, Fist of Fire, or Chainsaw Man?"

"Great! It's the cyberpsycho version of the old thief! We are hopeless!"

"On this day... people once again remembered the fear of being dominated by mental patients!"

……

As the subsequent plot of "Attack on Titan" gets on track, its popularity and heat have also increased.

Although Lin Qingshan has long been the uncrowned king of the contemporary industry, and his popularity and fame are already number one, no matter how far he goes, he will only be number one.

But... there is a saying that no one is young forever, but there is always someone who is young.

There are always little comic fans who are just beginning to learn how to read comics and watch animations, who have just moved away from childish children's animations and turned to the slightly more mature boys' comics.

Especially since Lin Qingshan’s works are so widely discussed, many young comic fans are attracted to them.

In terms of popularity, it may only be number one, but in terms of popularity and sales, it can increase from one million to two million... to one hundred million, and then from one hundred million to one billion.

Therefore, as the plot of the comics deepens, the popularity and sales can be further improved.

But Lin Qingshan doesn't care about these things now. He drew this "Attack on Titan" comic just to express... love and peace.

And there is also...

This is the ninth work in the system task, and his current fame is enough to complete the task.

Therefore, as long as "Attack on Titan" is appreciated more than 100 million times, the system will have completed its mission and may leave him.

Therefore, he wants "Attack on Titan" to be more popular and hotter, and he also wants people to feel the anti-war thoughts in it.

Make a contribution to world peace, just like those great comic masters, such as Master Tezuka, Master Toriyama, Master Fujiko, etc., who fought to promote love and peace.

So in a sense... just as Gen Urobuchi claims himself, isn't Lin Qingshan also a warrior of love?

He has also always been more concerned about the overall quality of "Attack on Titan".

And then, although Eren, as a hero of mankind, helped humans build the Wall Rose.

But after the successful battle, he was imprisoned.

His hands were restrained, seemingly to prevent him from biting his fingers and using the power of the giant.

Then he saw...

The two pillars of the Survey Corps - Captain Erwin and Corporal Levi!

Among them, Levi is the short man who appeared earlier and saved Eren, Armin and Mikasa from the two giants.

However, don’t be fooled by his short stature, he is actually the strongest soldier in the world!

That’s right, he is called “the strongest in the human race” and his past achievements are quite brilliant.

He possesses excellent techniques such as throwing discarded blades to damage the giant's eyesight and then killing him, and using a three-dimensional maneuverable device to perform a spinning slash. He is extremely fast and the battle is often over in an instant.

His combat power alone is equivalent to that of a brigade. He can annihilate two giants within 15 seconds and annihilate three strange species in one go.

In subsequent battles, his terrifying fighting power was displayed, and even the intelligent giants were almost defeated.

The other one, Captain Erwin, is the true supreme leader of the Survey Corps, commanding the soldiers who yearn for the mysterious and dangerous world outside the walls.

He is also responsible for formulating plans for investigations outside the wall and other work. He has a broad vision, can accurately judge the overall situation of the situation, has a long-term vision, and is calm and rational.

It can be said to be a more perfect Marco.

They explained the reason why they came to see Allen, which was... to find out Allen's position.

During this time, Eren determined his position as a human being and expressed his desire to join the Survey Corps to Erwin and Levi.

So Levi agreed to his request and decided to take over Eren himself.

Afterwards, Eren was under investigation, during which he was criticized a lot because of his identity as a Titan. People from the Chamber of Commerce and the Church, because of their inherent fear of Titans, planned to execute Eren on the spot without any consequences.

The head of the Military Police Division, Neil Dekker, planned to dissect Allen and make him into a specimen. As Allen's good friend, Mikasa naturally argued for Allen in court.

As a result, not only did no one believe him, but he was also discovered when he and Eren killed kidnappers when he was 9 years old, and was subsequently suspected of being one of the Titans in human form.

Seeing this scene, Eren could no longer hold back his anger and angrily denounced everyone present as cowards in court. Just when things became heated, Levi beat Eren violently in the name of "teaching him a lesson" in front of everyone.

But later, with the instigation of Erwin's plan, President Darius Zachary finally decided to hand Eren over to the Survey Corps, with Levi Ackerman as his caretaker.

Later, Levi's gentle side was revealed, and all he did was to help Eren.

Then Eren joined Levi's team. In addition to Levi, there were three other members in Levi's team.

They are Gunda Schultz, a relatively calm young man with a crew cut, Oluo Borchardt, a frivolous blond man, and Elder Jean, who has an outstanding memory and was the first to reveal the dark history of other team members.

as well as……

The only woman in Levi's class - Petra LaRue.

Alan also met another strange person in the Survey Corps - Hange Zoe, the squad leader of the Survey Corps.

She can be said to be the third most important person in the Survey Corps, but unlike Captain Erwin and Captain Levi, she is actually a... mad scientist.

Unlike other soldiers who avoid giants, she is unexpectedly enthusiastic about them and has a strong desire to learn.

She even went so far as to get Erwin to agree to her plan to capture the Titan alive.

During the follow-up work of the Trost District Recapture Campaign, two giants were captured and many experimental studies were conducted on them.

However, not long after...these two giants were secretly killed by someone unknown, which made Hanji, who regarded them as her own pets, wail in pain.

Therefore, Hanji is also an absolute weirdo in the Survey Corps. (End of this chapter)
