Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 278 The Million-Dollar Turnaround Machine of Bataan, the Land of the Dead

"The Land of the Dead..." Shen Yun looked at the brand on the back of his hand, a thoughtful expression on his face.

He remembered that the plot of the Land of the Dead seemed to be based on the costume battle movie "Heisei VS Showa"...

If the plot and dialogue of the 40th anniversary Kamen Rider movie are a mess, but it's full of nostalgia...

The only highlights of this Heisei vs. Showa series are the opening knight battle and the return of many original cast members.

Such as Keisuke Kamiya (Kamen Rider X), Takashi, Takumi, Wizard, Soga, Hongo, Shotaro, and Ryo Murasame (Kamen Rider ZX).

As for the plot...

It's simply a terrible movie!

This is the worst movie ever!

Moreover, the character development here is extremely flawed. (And the script was written by that idiot Yonemura again.)

Given Number 1's personality, he would never disapprove of any knight who fights for humanity and justice.

Although the Showa Knights were all cyborgs, they were by no means cold-blooded or ruthless.

They would never mock younger generations for missing the deceased, as this is a perfectly normal thing.

The Showa Knights had experienced many tragedies, so they should understand even more the feeling of missing the dead.

The essence of Kamen Rider in the Showa era is that of a warrior who hides his sadness and tears with a mask and fights for humanity!

Although they are tough guys, they are not without tenderness.

Given the personalities of the Showa Knights, they would only offer guidance and affirmation to their juniors.

Perhaps they would physically punish those younger colleagues who are confused or lack conviction, but it would definitely be for educational purposes, not in such a deadly manner. (That idiot Yonemura definitely hasn't watched Showa Knights.)

This theatrical version portrays Showa Riders as emotionless, cold-blooded cyborgs, which is very off-putting to Showa Rider fans.

Moreover, because of this theatrical version, many young Riders have emerged who are blindly praising the Heisei era and criticizing the Showa era.

No, they are all heroes of justice, why do we have to compare who is better?

Is there any reward or thrill in winning?

Little did you know, the knight you trampled was also a hero in someone else's eyes.

Besides the disastrous character designs of the Showa Riders, the Heisei Riders in this theatrical version are also ridiculously poorly designed.

Despite his growth throughout the entire TV series, Qiao Ye remains confused and doesn't understand the meaning of battle...

Wang Xiaoming, the first passerby.

Mage, just passing by as a tool number two.

Silly Orange, a protagonist whose significance is unclear.

Moreover, the ending of this theatrical version was extremely absurd.

To protect a little yellow flower, Silly Orange took the brunt of Number 1's ultimate attack.

When Number 1 saw that Silly Orange had taken his Knight's kick just to protect Little Yellow Flower, he felt ashamed and gave up.

That's right, Number 1 surrendered immediately... (Sanjou Riku specifically satirized this part in Fuuto Detective. Didn't the previous episode, "Kyoku no Kou," reveal the idea of ​​"hating sins but not people"? Sanjou Riku then elaborated on the meaning of "hating sins but not people" in Fuuto Detective episode 134. It cracked me up. Sanjou Riku is such a jerk.)

This ending is outrageous!

Moreover, in addition to the Heisei victory ending, this theatrical version also has a Showa victory ending.

This victory for the Heisei era, while absurd, is somewhat understandable.

But the ending of the Showa era's victory was even more absurd than the ending of the Heisei era's victory. (There's a video on Bilibili, so I won't comment on it.)

Shen Yun shook his head, putting aside all his complaints about the movie, and began to seriously consider what benefits he could gain from it.

"If it's this theatrical version, it seems there's not much I can plan."

"However, it seems there are no better options."

To be fair, the Shocker leader is quite good to his subordinates.

Since the Shocker leader is still alive, there's no need for him to look for another ally; he can just stick with the Shocker leader.

Shen Yun came downstairs from his study, where Shen Qin and the other two were still chattering about what had just happened.

Seeing Shen Yun come downstairs, Yui quickly got up from the sofa and walked over to him, saying, "Dear father, it seems that all the mirror monsters I created have disappeared." (At the time in the book, the Shocker leader had just been defeated.)

"Disappeared?"

"Yes, although I can still enter the mirror, all the mirror monsters in the mirror world have disappeared," Yui said.

"Not only that, the whole world has changed a lot. Look, Mr. Shen, Shocker has disappeared!" Yuka also got up from the sofa and handed the search results on her phone to Shen Yun, her face showing some confusion.

"Oh, I was just about to tell you..." Shen Yun was about to explain when he was interrupted by Garonia's slightly sad voice.

"My husband!"

Shen Yun turned around and saw Garonia running down the stairs, holding up the hem of her skirt.

Marybalon chased after Garonnia, anxiously saying, "Your Highness, please slow down!"

Garonia ran downstairs and threw herself into Shen Yun's arms, a hint of sadness in her eyes. She said, "Husband, my father and the Craces Empire are both..."

Shen Yun sighed softly, reached out and pulled Garonia into his arms, gently patting her beautiful back to comfort her.

As this distorted timeline was corrected, the Crysis Empire, along with the Crysis Emperor and the people of the Crysis Empire, were all buried back in the ground.

After all, in the ending of RX, Emperor Cressis was defeated by RX and, before dying, tried to detonate the Monster World to perish together with RX.

However, as long as there is sunlight, RX will not die, so the explosion in the Demon World did not kill RX, and RX returned to Earth unharmed in the end.

Emperor Krexis detonated the Demon Realm, but in the end, he only brought down the Krexis Empire and the Krexis people.

Because Garonia and the others had a close relationship with him, they were not affected by the time correction force and still had memories of the timeline in which Shocker ruled the world.

In a sense, Garonia is now a princess of a fallen kingdom.

Garonia leaned against Shen Yun's chest, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, which fell like pearls from a broken string.

Seeing this, Maya wisely refrained from approaching.

She originally wanted to tell Shen Yun that she couldn't contact Bishop either, but considering the current situation, she decided to wait and say so later.

"Let's go." Shen Qin pulled Youyi and Yuka away.

After crying, Garonya calmed down considerably.

"Are you feeling better?" Shen Yun reached out and wiped away the tears from Garonia's eyes, asking gently.

"Much better." Garonia looked up at Shen Yun and asked, "Husband, can you tell me what happened? It seems like there's a discrepancy between our memories and reality."

"This is because the timeline has changed," Shen Yun said.

"Changes in the timeline?" Garonia asked, puzzled.

"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking of telling you all."

After Shen Yun finished speaking, he called Maya and the others over and explained to them the changes in the timeline and the singularity.

"Dear, how do you know all this?" Yuka asked curiously.

"This is all what the Shocker leader told me," Shen Yun said, directly shifting the blame onto the Shocker leader.

"Huh? The Shocker leader? But wasn't he already defeated?" Yui asked in surprise.

"The Shocker leader is an aggregate of evil spirit energy and has no concept of death," Shen Yun explained with a smile, then continued, "The Great Leader just found me, and I have decided to follow him to the Underworld."

"We'll go too." Maya stood up, looked at Shen Yun, and said.

"No, you all stay on the ground. A2 will come with me, that's enough," Shen Yun objected.

"No!" Garonia objected.

She already has no country and no father, and she can't be without a husband too.

"We're not children anymore, we can help our parents now," Yuka said.

"Yes." Yui nodded.

"No need." Shen Yun smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't want you to be burdened with sins like me. I would much rather you live a carefree and happy life."

Although the erroneous timeline has been corrected, the sins he bears will not disappear because of the timeline correction.

Sin is sin, and it will exist no matter what.

Shen Yun was well aware of what he was doing, so he didn't want to involve Maya and the others.

Shen Yun's words also silenced Maya and the others.

"In short, you should all stay here and live your lives properly, and stop getting involved in the Xiuka matter," Shen Yun decided.

After Shen Yun finished speaking, looking at the somewhat somber atmosphere, he added, "The Great Chief has granted me the authority to freely enter and leave the Land of the Underworld, so I can come back to see you at any time."

Hearing Shen Yun's words, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

After explaining everything, Shen Yun snapped his fingers lightly, and a crack appeared in the floor of Delan Castle.

An ominous purple light emanated from the crack.

"A2, it's time to go." Shen Yun said, and walked to the crack.

"Yes!" A2 followed closely behind Shen Yun.

Looking at the crack emitting a purple glow, Shen Yun jumped down without thinking.

A2 followed suit and jumped in.

After passing through an endless purple space, Shen Yun and A2 landed in a city.

However, the city here is deserted, like a mirror world.

"Doctor, look up!" A2 looked up at the view above them and said quickly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun also looked up at the sky, where the Earth's continental plates were reflected above them.

"What a peculiar sight," Shen Yun remarked with interest, looking at the Japanese continental plate above them.

"However, on the other hand, are these spirits or ghosts?" Shen Yun asked, glancing at the figures floating around him, their bodies radiating a purple glow.

These figures, emitting a purple glow, had clear outlines and looked like human souls.

However, judging from their aimless, drifting behavior, they seem to have little self-awareness.

Regardless of the circumstances, as long as the souls of humans come here after death, this place can indeed be called the Land of the Dead.

"Let's go find the Great Chief first." Shen Yun glanced at the figures emitting a purple glow a few times, then looked down at the flashing Badan mark on the back of his hand and began to move forward in this unfamiliar city according to the Badan mark's guidance.

Guided by the Bataan Mark, Shen Yun also arrived at the gathering place of the strange people.

Shen Yun glanced around and exclaimed, "Good heavens! They're all old acquaintances!"

In addition to these cadres, there are also eccentrics and combatants from various evil organizations throughout history who have all gathered here.

Shen Yun couldn't help but take a second look at the bat-toothed blood demon among the strange crowd.

He remembered the bat-toothed vampire's dying words: that he would wait for him in hell.

Surprisingly, this guy actually managed to wait for him.

Shen Yun approached the skull formed from purple energy, bowed slightly, and said, "Chief."

"You've come at the right time. I need you to design a machine that can flip the world of the living and the dead, based on this child's abilities." President Bataan waved his hand, and the Dark Ambassador grabbed a child who looked to be about ten years old by the collar and brought him in front of Shen Yun.

"Let me go! Let me go!" the child struggled incessantly.

But how could he possibly break free with his meager strength?

Upon seeing the child in the white sweater, Shen Yun recognized the child's identity.

Hiiragi, a boy from the windy city.

But at this point in time, had this boy named Hiiragi already been killed by the truck?

Truck sales increased by 1 point.

This is a bit of a hellish joke.

However, to be honest, it's not a problem that Hiiragi is here.

After all, from OOO to Gaim, there was only a Fourze and Wizard in between, which was only about two years.

It's quite a stretch to build a massive flipping machine like the one at Bataan in just over two years.

"What are the child's abilities?" Shen Yun asked, feigning ignorance, as he looked at the boy before him.

"He can flip all sorts of things on a small scale," said the Dark Ambassador.

Shen Yun glanced at the Dark Ambassador without showing any emotion, wondering whether the Dark Ambassador in front of him was the real Dark Ambassador or Murasame Ryo in disguise.

"Small-scale flipping of all sorts of things? I know how to do it."

"Oh? What do you plan to do?" the Dark Ambassador asked.

"All we need to do is amplify his abilities so that they can radiate throughout the entire world. That way, we can turn the world of the living and the world of the dead upside down," Shen Yun said.

"Excellent, I look forward to your masterpiece." President Bataan laughed heartily, then added, "Ambassador of Darkness, arrange accommodations for our Dr. Demon."

"Yes." The Dark Ambassador bowed slightly, then turned to Shen Yun and said, "Come with me."

Shen Yun strode after him, and A2 followed closely beside him.

After settling down in the Land of the Dead, Shen Yun immediately began examining Hiiragi's body and analyzing his superpowers in order to design a million-fold flip machine to amplify Hiiragi's superpowers.
