Chapter 898 Scene 898 Resurrected Alan
The author of "Detective Conan" personally explained the details and got "there is only one conclusion to the truth", which made everyone have to be convinced, and even the author of "Saint Seiya", Sada Masami, who has always thought that the protagonist would not die no matter what, also agreed regretfully next to him:
"I also agree with Mr. Aoyama's inference, if it is another comic, then everything will be possible, it depends on the arrangement of the script author, but this "Attack on Titan" is different, Director Li Xiaole, who wrote the script, has a set of strict story logic, just by looking at the knowledge details he introduced in the middle of each chapter, as well as the plot arrangement, you know that Director Li Xiaole is a thoroughly realistic author, and he carefully arranges the plot with movie-level logic~
So far, there is no magic and superpower skills in "Attack on Titan", there is no priest, no technology, no spells, and the medical aspect is also very limited. So how did he come back to life? ”
In the show, whether it is the three cartoonists or the audience interviews and answers, it seems that everyone thinks that Alan cannot be resurrected, and now the situation is no longer something that Li Xiaole, a playwright, can determine, because in the previous story, he has forced himself to death, and there is no way out, if Alan is resurrected, but the resurrection is inexplicable, it will completely break the desperate and terrifying atmosphere that was established before this comic......
In any case, "Attack on Titan" seems to inevitably decline in popularity in the reader's questionnaire, the question is just how much it will fall, who will he and "The Demon King's Daddy" end up dying? This is also a huge question mark, you must know that this result will directly affect the success or failure of the movie version of "Slam Dunk".
During the week of waiting for the next issue of "Shonen Jump" to be released, people all over Japan were discussing the news, and "Allen's life and death" became the answer that everyone wanted to know the most.
The "Attack on Titan" craze is fermenting all over Japan, and the executives of other manga companies also know about it, but they all laugh and shake their heads, the protagonist Allen died? At the end of the week, the classic cartoon of the evil path that crosses like a meteor? And only a simple reader would believe it. A spokesman for Kodansha, Shueisha's biggest rival, immediately questioned these remarks.
First of all, if the protagonist Allen's death story ends like this, why didn't Li Xiaole put the climax scene in the fourth week, but in the third week? You must know that these three weeks are all double-page serialization, and Li Xiaole can completely reduce the length and drag his popularity until the end of the month to compete with his opponents; In addition, this manga really ended so quickly, how could Shueisha let Gui Zheng and a comic master like this serve as an assistant to Li Xiaole?
What's more, in Fuji TV's talk show, the three cartoonists who appeared, Yoshihiro Fujian, Tsuyomasa Aoyama, and Masami Cheda, are all cartoonists under Shueisha, especially Yoshihiro Fujian, one of the three kings of Japanese comics, has always participated in TV programs, and Fuji TV was able to invite him this time, without the instructions of Shueisha's senior management behind him, how is this possible?
Therefore, in several interviews, the Kodansha spokesman tried to refute the rumor that "Allen died": "Will the protagonist die? This can't happen, even if Li Xiaole dares to make it up, Shueisha can't let him paint it like this~~"
Naturally, many media outlets will not stop there, and they have begun to investigate the truth behind this "Allen life and death" discussion. When they are determined to investigate, it is easy to get the truth, there is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that so many Shueisha editors have seen the storyboard of "Attack on Titan".
So the Tokyo Shimbun immediately got the truth, and the editor of Kodansha's "Shonen Magazine" said: "Isayama has come to us to submit articles, and many of us have seen the original manuscript of this "Attack on Titan" three years ago, although the story is slightly different from now, but the creativity is the same, it is not a short manga, but a super long one, yes ~ The protagonist has always been a person, and he is not dead...... It's been so long since the plot in the middle of the story that I can't remember it. ”
And at the Shogakukan of another manga magazine, an editor who reviewed the work said: "Oh, I've seen this manga, it's not in "Shonen Jump", it's found in the company's submission box, it's definitely a feature, the protagonist is not dead, we just nodded at the time, this manga will belong to us, but you know, we ended up rejecting the young man named Isayama Sou, seriously, we regret it now, and one of the company's editors was suspended because of it...... Alas, this sketch was too ordinary at first......"
Then the reporter went to the printing house and found the printing worker in charge of printing "Shonen Jump", and the worker took out a printing order for "Shonen Jump" this month: "I don't know the contents of the magazine, but Shueisha gave us orders for "Shonen Jump" in the next month to exceed 3 million orders per issue, I think if "Attack on Titan" is finished, then there should not be so many sales." ”
The evidence is conclusive, and as soon as this report in the Tokyo Shimbun came out, the rumors on the Internet that Shueisha deliberately created "Allen is dead" were self-defeating.
In this regard, Shueisha and Li Xiaole have long been prepared, so the propaganda method of Xuanqi is just counting on it to arouse people's appetite, because the matter is big, as long as you dig deeper, the truth will inevitably be revealed. As long as people's curiosity is aroused and a huge sensation is made, the "Allen Life and Death" puzzle can be accomplished. When things get to this point, even if the audience knows that Eren will be resurrected, they will still buy the next episode of "Shonen Jump".
Because people will be more curious, how can such a logically rigorous comic resurrect the protagonist Alan? And it has to be convincing, almost everyone is talking about it, how can I miss it, young people don't want to be left behind, and when you hear what others are talking about, you have to find out, you have to read this comic.
So the focus of the publicity of "Attack on Titan" has already shifted to the technique of "how Alan is resurrected", Shueisha took Li Xiaole's suggestion, and engaged in an activity on Shueisha's official forum to "draw how Allen is resurrected", the way to participate in the activity is very simple, as long as you have a few strokes, you can draw the way of Allen's resurrection in the simplest way, even if it is a child's four-frame painting.
Then the answers are announced for the top three with the closest results, and the winners get a name right for an important new character in Attack on Titan.
In this competition, everyone's sense of participation is also bursting, and they have drawn all kinds of "Allen's resurrection comics", what Alan is actually a vampire, Allen was saved by aliens, Allen evolved and transformed in the belly of a giant, etc......
So when the Tokyo Shimbun report came out, Shueisha generously clarified the facts, and the editor-in-chief, Fujii, admitted to the media that this work will be a long-term serialized story, and now the storyboard drawn by Li Xiaole and Isayama can support more than 5 years of content, and will never be completed in a short period of time.
5 years of storyboarding? Everyone else was shocked! Oh, my God... Li Xiaole actually entered the comic industry not to play tickets, but to make a big move, has he prepared a story for 5 years? But how can such a manga that relies on evil comics, by spreading terror and despair to maintain its popularity, last for five years? You must know that the previously popular "Death Note" has only lasted for two short years, is Shueisha too hasty?
In the midst of this questioning and doubt, the issue of "Shonen Jump", which finally decided the outcome of the game, was put on the shelves, and on the same day, almost all bookstores, bookstalls, and newsstands were sold out as soon as the comic magazine was put on the shelves~~
When people open the magazine, what they see at the beginning is the perspective of the world that Eren saw in the last moments before he died, Alan's eyes widened, he knelt in his mouth in horror and numbness, his eyes shrunk to the extreme trembled violently, just like five years ago, he could only watch the people around him, torn to pieces by giants in front of him, splashing blood, like scattered petals, charming and cruel, warm blood dripping on Alan's cheeks, but this time it was his own blood...... His body trembled, his fists clenched, his nails digging deep into his palms......
"Why~! Why~! Obviously, after five years, I am no longer the cowardly me I used to be, why am I still trembling and trembling in front of them, like those humans running around, weak like pigs at the mercy of others, the last time I saw the world was...... The crumbling rubble of the people trembled as the giants poured in from all directions......
Then Alan heard the sound of his own bones shattering...... Death...... It's coming~~ "Woo-ah-ah-" The thick beast-like roar roared in the heart, as if the whole world was screaming...... Then came darkness......
When the perspective shifts from here to the heroine Mikasa, and then it has been the plot that continues Mikasa, which makes fans look a little confused...... What about Alan? Is Eren really dead? Didn't you say he wouldn't die? When everyone looked a little anxious, suddenly a crazy giant appeared in the picture, when they saw this giant with a unique hairstyle crushing the other giants like chopping melons and vegetables, everyone was stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly woke up, why is that hairstyle so similar to Allen......? Then they all opened their mouths wide, could it be that giant Allen!?
