Chapter 624: The theme of this comic is ..... [Twisted]!
The magician cooperated with the Heroic Spirit to fight for the existence called the [Holy Grail], and because of the ability of the magician and the Heroic Spirit itself to surpass ordinary common sense, the battle scene and scale between the Seven Lords and the Heroic Spirit rose to the ...... Judging from this setting alone, the content of the first three episodes of the comic "Fate" has already defined the entire comic as the tone of [Epic Vast War]!
However, why is Yoshida distorted by the first three words of the manga "fate"?
Because the plot world constructed by the first three episodes of the comic, it is not able to show this comic...... Or the essence of this series of comics!
Actually, about the works of the "Fate" series...... No, even all the works that revolve around the world of the moon do not belong to the traditional sense of the "royal road" works, on the contrary, this series of works is more suitable to be classified as dark and depressing!
Whether it is several works that revolve around [Holy Grail War], or the "Empty Realm" series derived from the same world, what is told is not a heart-warming and healing story, but a series of coincidences and accidents that should not have happened to the characters...... To analyze it in a slightly simpler way, it is the works involved in the entire Moon series, which can be described by the word "twist"!
Although magicians are hidden in the world in which humans live, they ignore secular laws and morals, and things that are not acceptable to normal society, such as murder and human experimentation, are common sense for magicians...... From this point of view, the group of magicians is a group of beings with extraordinary power but completely distorted human nature!
And as an important participant in the Holy Grail War, the Heroic Spirits are no different!
According to the legends of mankind and the description of heroes in history, in combination with today's real society, a little imagination knows that the so-called heroic spirits are actually difficult to integrate into the current society......
Not to mention the way in which the Heroic Spirits exist, the Heroic Spirits themselves, as beings praised by human beings, will naturally inherit their heroic deeds as human beings continue...... However, for today's society, the glorious deeds that heroes have accomplished, and even the existence of heroes themselves, are like vicious tumors, which are difficult to be accepted by today's human beings!
It's like Emiya Kiritsugu and the heroic King Arthur......
Assassination, blowing up the hotel, using the wordplay in the contract to calculate Director Ken...... All the ways and means used by Emiya Kiritsugu throughout the course of the Holy Grail War seem to be quite unbounded and despicable, but I have to admit that the way to win the war is to eliminate all the participants in the war! Since it has been made clear that this is a war that never stops, isn't it a matter of course to use any means to achieve victory?
In today's society, even if you know that you will be infamous and blamed in the future, in order to gain more benefits, human beings will still choose to carry out some behaviors such as cheating your loved ones and killing your colleagues and friends......
Although in terms of results, the actions carried out by humans in real society do not seem to be as exaggerated as those of Emiya Kiritsugu, it cannot be denied that it is ...... The nature of the two is exactly the same!
King Arthur, the servant of Emiya Kiritsugu, not to mention the setting of the maiden in the comics...... Whether it is recorded in historical documents or recorded in human legends, King Arthur is worthy of his title of [Knight King], a knight of noble character, and a great king!
Just like the ancient chivalrous warriors of the rivers and lakes, although they are often complained about with words such as "chivalry and martial arts", most of the people who are mixed in the rivers and lakes still spontaneously abide by the [rules of the rivers and lakes] to act...... Born in that chaotic era of frequent wars, King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and even most of the human beings with the title of [Knight], also volunteered to use principles such as the [Eight Virtues of Knights] to restrain their behavior!
To put it simply, whether it is a chivalrous man or a heroic spirit, looking at the existence that can be praised by human beings, each of them has their own code of conduct and bottom line...... Of course, there are some not-so-normal Heroic Spirits!
But in today's era, the kind of existence with a code of conduct and a bottom line is often used by the surrounding humans as naïve and heartless [world-class good teammates] to kill and sell all kinds of ......
Therefore, do not accuse Emiya Kiritsugu of being too extreme or despicable because he is influenced by King Arthur's noble chivalry, because Emiya Kiritsugu's way of doing things "to achieve the end by means" is the method that most humans in modern society usually use...... At most, the results are different!
In the manga "Fate", he chose to make the knight king with noble conduct partner with the unscrupulous Emiya Kiritsugu...... This kind of teaming up of two humans who can almost be regarded as [inherently incompatible and hostile to each other], the result is naturally conceivable!
Saying...... This is probably a typical example of the so-called "different circles, no strong integration", right?
No matter how much King Arthur hated Emiya Kiritsugu for acting too harshly, and no matter how much Emiya Kiritsugu despised King Arthur for acting too naïvely, both the Heroic Spirit and the Master tried to interfere with each other's behavior and tried to demand a change in the other's behavior...... In that sense alone, it's a kind of [distortion]!
For another example, Uncle Yanye, who created the "Dark Demon Swordsman Kalia" series with himself as the protagonist, and said "Everything is the fault of this guy (Shi Chen)] This famous sentence has been circulated for many years...... It is also an existence that has been played with by the [Twisted] Fate!
Originally, he was the only normal person in the whole comic.,Uncle Yanye, who had escaped from the shackles of the Jian Tong family and was able to live as a normal person.,But because of his kindness.,Want to participate in the [Holy Grail War], to do what you can for the woman you once loved and her daughter.,So he suffered from the ridicule and play of fate......
In order to be able to save Sakura, who was trapped in the wormhole and tortured, Uncle Yanya took responsibility for his escape in the bravest way, and gave all his life to make Lori Sakura happy......
Uncle Yanye, who never claims to be a "savior" or a hero, is able to perform self-sacrificing acts like a hero...... From this point alone, it can be inferred that Uncle Yanye's body that was eaten and devoured by insects must be a noble soul!
However, a person with a noble soul like Uncle Yanye was born in a twisted family, and he only participated in the twisted war of the [Holy Grail Competition], and the result is self-evident...... Therefore, whether it is Uncle Yanye's subsequent encounters or Uncle Yanye's initial kindness, driven and played with by fate, it is natural that he has been [distorted]!
To put it simply, this comic "Fate", which revolves around the Holy Grail War, after the foreshadowing of the first three episodes, is a tragic collection of [twisted] stories, and the style of the whole comic is biased towards ...... No, it should be said that it belongs to the dark and depressive system!
But in the three-episode serialization that Makoto Takahashi handed over to Yoshida, there is no plot about this at all...... In the comic manuscript of the whole three episodes, there are only the character design of the magician, the existence of the Heroic Spirit, the common sense related to the Holy Grail War, and the gorgeous and shocking Heroic Spirit summoning scene!
So for Yoshida, the editor in charge who can't wait to submit the manga to the serialization meeting just by reading the first three episodes, it is natural to be misled......
As for why Uncle Tintin complained that Makoto Takahashi's style is [ghost animal]......
I remember that when the comic "Madoka" was serialized, the plot of the senior sister being bitten off her head seemed to appear in the plot of the fourth episode...... Although the original manga "Madoka" was serialized by Makoto Takahashi and his new wife Eiji as [Makoto Shinkai], don't forget that the plot of the entire comic is provided by a secondary two cartoonist! 2k reading web
