Society fears that young people don’t want to be literary godfathers

After that ridiculous play in the water, Agni spoke nervously, hoping that Togata would give "Luna" back.

"Haha...Luna?"

With a smile on his face, Director Togata, who has neat short hair, said:

"This is not your sister, you know that, right?"

"Of course I know!"

Agni shouted these words almost like a roar... However, just as he said these words, Togada made a quick decision and threw Yoda's head over!

Looking at the head of "Luna" flying towards him, Agni, who was afraid that his own flames would ignite it, didn't even dare to catch it, so he had to shout to Togata to pick up "Luna" -

"I told you, this is not Luna."

After the fun, everything seems to be calm.

The playful smile turned into an expressionless face. Looking at Agni who seemed to be a little crazy, Togata wanted to break the man's pitiful fantasy and let him return to reality——

But...faced with Yoda's face, which was almost identical to his sister's, Agni's heart showed a trace of fantasy that was like escaping from reality.

He thought that maybe there would be some blessing in this world that would allow people to be resurrected - because Yoda and Luna looked exactly the same!

"...Even the hair and voice are the same, so we can't deny the possibility of resurrection..."

With a stiff smile on his face, he imagined that the burning man was helpless like a child, standing on the cold sea.

However, faced with Agni's performance, Togata just shook his head and broke Agni's pitiful fantasy with one sentence:

"Don't think about it, there is no such blessing."

"And...if your sister was still alive, you would give up revenge - is this the only level of anger in your heart?"

.... Agni fell into silence when asked this question.

The originally quite gentle expression was completely wiped out, and the indifference in thinking that his sister was still alive also disappeared with the wind... The man whose whole body was burning recalled Dema in the faint rising despair. The sinner who burned his village and family to death.

In an instant, Agni's mood changed considerably.

That despicable guy even apologized to me - and said that anything short of death would be fine... He was clearly treating me like an idiot.

As long as Dema is dead, I will be satisfied...

In an instant, the rage of revenge filled the man's body again.

The emotions of anger and despair rose up and turned into Agni's low but cold words:

"...If he wants to live so much, I will let him die!"

"Oh, not bad."

After hearing what Agni said, Director Togata nodded with great satisfaction, his whole expression showing inexplicable satisfaction:

"I just want to hear you say this... In this case, let's sign a contract."

"I have lived for 300 years. In addition to being able to fight, I also have 300 years of knowledge...so don't worry, I am going to arrange a plot for you to kill Dema with your own hands—— "

"But if you want me to help you, there is a prerequisite: let me follow you to shoot."

"I'm the director, you're the actor, the kid's the cameraman, and Dema's the villain... Let's make a fun movie together."

"........"

Agni said nothing after hearing that Togata, who had saved him but behaved in a rather bizarre manner, was in front of him.

However, it is obvious that Agni herself does agree with the proposal given by the woman who calls herself the director.

Just...there's one more thing to confirm.

"What about Luna—no, Yoda?"

After a moment of silence, Agni asked Togada who had just cut off the head.

"There's nothing we can do, just let her go."

Togata smiled and responded to Agni in front of him:

"After all, directors and actors have to live in harmony. If you can be my actor, it doesn't matter if you sell this favor."

".......it is good."

Hearing what Togada said, Agni also responded solemnly:

"Then, let me be the protagonist."

Words fall.

Standing on the cold water, the short-haired woman and the burning man have clearly established their alliance.

Under Knight's handheld camera, a post-apocalyptic movie called "Fireman" is already being filmed.

The latest episode of Flame Fist has come to an end.

......

One thing that must be explained is that the release of the latest episode of Flame Fist has triggered a backlash and discussion that far exceeds many people's imagination.

Director Togata's rescue, Agni's resurrection, Yoda's two decapitations, and the establishment of cooperation in the filming of the movie make it difficult to evaluate this recently updated Fire Fist comic in an accurate and clear word.

As a die-hard fan of All and a pure-blooded fan who has been following its comics since high school, Kitahara Aoi couldn't help but shook her head and was silent for a moment before reluctantly leaving this sentence:

"It's outrageous."

Yes.

For most readers, the updated "Fist of Fire", which has now begun to take shape, is indeed a comic with considerable transcendence——

In other words, this kind of comics is probably a bit too early for humans.

If they watch "Chainsaw Man" and immediately go on to watch "Fist of Fire", many readers may be confused - and in the confusion, looking back at "Chainsaw Man", this movie has always been judged As a manga about mental illness, many people may have half-consciously realized that in the past, the manga that was always complained about as being quite "subversive" and "abstract" actually developed its plot according to logic and the routine of a hot-blooded shounen manga. .

Although the plot of "Chainsaw Man" is indeed a bit ridiculous, it basically follows the unitization process of hot-blooded comics: the protagonist group confronts the villain group, a small boss appears, and everyone fights the boss; after defeating this boss, another slightly stronger one appears. After a certain boss, fight this boss again; mixed with more combat power-increasing moves and emotional dramas such as friendship and love, in the end the protagonist defeated the final boss and indirectly saved the world and himself. It was completed. Growth and sublimation——

If you put aside some overly personal plots and bizarre battle scenes, ordinary readers can basically get the main line of the entire story when watching Chainsaw Man, and know what the protagonist will probably do and what setbacks he will experience... ....It is precisely because of this that although the industry has mixed reviews on Chainsaw Man, if it is based on its origin, Chainsaw Man can indeed be clearly classified as a hot-blooded comic.

However, compared with works such as "Chainsaw Man", although "Fist of Fire" is written by the same author, the underlying tone is actually very different, which makes people feel inexplicably complicated.

Inheriting the usual bloody battles and ridiculous plots that are unimaginable, "Fire Fist" does not inherit the blood-blooded youth comic blood of "Chainsaw Man", and even shows an inexplicable sense of emptiness... .There is no other reason. As this comic has developed to this point, there is actually no such thing as plot logic at all. It prefers a certain artistic conception and emptiness to the obvious truth, so it is naturally less popular than "Chainsaw Man" Stronger.

Countless ordinary readers who have fantasized about guessing the subsequent plot of "Fire Fist", but were still repeatedly traumatized and subverted their own perceptions, have increasingly understood that the thinking of a certain psychotic cartoonist is too difficult to follow, so they gave up. In order to think about it, I no longer hope that I can imagine the subsequent plot.

(...Don't ever imagine that you can guess the direction of the development of Mr. Mochizuki's comics, because the more confident you are in guessing, the more you will feel your brain trembling when the real development comes.)

——Excerpted from the high praise answer in the comment area of ​​"Fire Fist" under the official app of Shonen Jump.

".......call."

I couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. I was sitting in a coffee shop in Tokyo, enjoying afternoon tea with an abstract troll who was a Class-A war criminal. By the way, Kasumi Takegami, who was reading the latest manga readers' comments, was also a little bit excited. He retracted his little head stiffly and took a sip of the refill of coffee:

"After reading it...it seems to be completely consistent with my initial imagination. Quite a few readers were confused by what you said."

".......Indeed it is."

Leaning gently on the seat, putting down the mobile phone he had been using to read comics, Mochizuki put his hands on his chest, his expression somewhat confused:

"It seems that after this chapter, many readers no longer have the confidence to guess the plot of "Fire Fist"... Really, it is very frustrating to not be able to guess the plot of this latest chapter. Well, why do so many people break through the defense?"

"...Nonsense, don't even think about how many people on the Internet are studying you, and even analyzing the plot of your comics and possible subsequent trends like Leeuwenhoek - but you end up doing this every time Hit them in the face with the convulsive brain circuit, it's strange that they don't feel numb."

"Oh, that seems to be the case."

While nodding, Mochizuki's little hands were not very clean and she secretly took away the Portuguese tart that the little teacher had locked away when the little teacher was not paying attention:

"But...to be honest, I am somewhat concerned about the spontaneous groups of 'boxing experts' and fans who always brag about all the comics on the Internet."

"...Eh, is that right?"

As if noticing the deep meaning behind Mochizuki's words, Teacher Kocheng raised her puppy ears:

"What do you think?"

"That is to say... I feel like the current new fans and casual readers who believe that I am invincible seem to be a little obsessed with "Fire Fist" and myself."

Putting down the coffee cup, Mochizuki left this sentence calmly:

"Honestly, I just saw several of my fans scolding me in the online comment section. It's strange. I didn't draw it the way they wanted. Why did they start attacking me in life? ?Isn’t this too strange?”

"...Hai, you can't think that everyone in the world is normal, Ali."

I just saw a few nasty comments online scolding Mochizuki. I probably know why the naturally curly boy next to me is a little unhappy. The girl with dog eyes also comforted her softly:

"That's how the Internet is, don't worry too much."

"I understand this...but if you really think about the phenomenon behind the popularity of "Fire Fist", it's hard not to care."

After taking over Teacher Xiaocheng's words, as if he finally got down to business, Mochizuki gently held his chin at this moment, and his eyes also turned around at this moment:

"Because the influence of cartoonist 'all' has slowly expanded, many newcomers have appeared in the industry who imitate the style of "Chainsaw Man". Even the new work "Fire Fist" that recently published the Shonen Jump serialization has also seen many newcomers who have completely disappeared from the past. Now, the "die-hard fans" and "exquisite fans" suddenly appear, analyzing page by page the comics that have not been updated much... But who can think at this time that I am actually just the beginning? What about a new cartoonist who has been serializing for less than three years? He always puts me in such a high position for his own sake. This is not a good phenomenon."

"...If you say that, it is indeed the case."

Understanding the profound meaning of Mochizuki's words, Takegami Kasumi couldn't help but nod silently:

"You are so popular now, and the self-explosion of your waistcoat that you painstakingly planned in the past was too eye-catching. Many people have already regarded you as a living god, thinking that you are an absolute genius in the Japanese entertainment industry in the 21st century... .....Although I agree that you are a genius, it seems that such a vigorous god-making activity can easily be backlashed."

"Don't tell me, Teacher Xiaocheng. Today I saw the backlash of this spontaneous god-making movement."

While saying this, Mochizuki unlocked his phone again, clicked on the comment area of ​​Yan Fist in the official app of "Shounen Jump", and handed it to the girl with dog eyes next to him:

"As you saw just now, quite a few readers have begun to curse me and throw me off the altar because the new plot exceeded expectations and did not progress in the so-called "connotative" direction they envisioned... .....It feels like this is really ridiculous. First, he praised me as high as the sky and then threw me aside in disappointment. It is really too outrageous."

".......It is indeed the case."

Nodding silently, looking at those bad words exchanged, Takegami Kasumi deeply believed:

"Actually, I have learned about the situation recently, and I feel like you are really having a bit of a moving altar effect now."

"Haha, right?"

Amused by Teacher Xiaocheng's words, Mochizuki, who usually gave off a serious look, showed a rare smile and sighed again in the blink of an eye.

"So, why did you start analyzing me...?"

The young man shook his head, his voice showing some tension:

"What do I have to analyze? Why don't we all laugh and read the comics together? He is so formal and over-analyzes like a party member. He treats a cartoonist the same way he treats world famous works. You will be disappointed by then. ."

"...Don't say this to your fans so bluntly, they are very sensitive."

"Of course, I know that."

Nodding, thanking the little teacher Gouyan for his concern, Mochizuki also drank the coffee in the cup:

"Okay, I feel like I have to find a way to manage the fans who are starting to act randomly as the popularity continues to soar... Really, at this time, I really would rather they treat me as a lunatic. I don’t want friends who I can chat with when I follow them, but I don’t want them to brag about me all day long and still think about themselves.”

"So, what should I do to attract fans to me? Go to the Slothfish account and post some videos showing me cooking? Or go to the streets of Tokyo and put on a mask and yell who am I? Forget it, it's a good society. If I die, I feel like I will be regarded as a fool..."

"...Pfft."

Kasumi Takegami couldn't help but laugh when he saw Mochizuki Ri, who was showing embarrassment due to his soaring popularity, holding his chin and thinking about how to let fans gradually get to know him better.

Really... Is this weird kid who was shy about showing himself to everyone before and almost just wanted to stay in the corner crawling in the dark now starting to want to be more proactive in letting everyone know him?

.....You are really growing up, Ali.

"Um........?"

Perhaps noticing the gaze of the dog eyes, Mochizuki pulled himself out of his racing thoughts and looked at Teacher Xiaocheng beside him:

"What's wrong? It feels like you've been looking at me."

"Haha, it's nothing~"

Without saying anything else, Takegami Kasumi just gently raised the coffee cup and drank the slightly astringent and slightly sweet content in one gulp:

"I just suddenly felt that you were quite cute...and suddenly I understood why there were so many girls trying to tease you when I was a doorman in high school."

"?"

Hearing his comic assistant suddenly say this, Mochizuki's expression changed slightly:

"Teacher Xiaocheng."

His expression sank slightly, and the naturally curly idiot said:

"I'm a boy. Normally you should praise me for being handsome."

"Hai, you don't understand this."
