Chapter 292: Ghoul
Yan Mingjun still clearly remembers the details of that day, that day Zhao Chen rarely came to the apartment where the assistants worked, and after checking the samples of the serialized works, he called Yan Mingjun, who was in charge of the background of "Dragon Ball", to the living room. Yan Mingjun, who was more self-aware, felt bad in his heart, and naturally thought that Zhao Chen was not satisfied with his work.
What made him feel unbelievable was that Zhao Chen did cancel his job in the future, but he was given another job, that is, to become a real full-time cartoonist. Of course, what shocked Yan Mingjun the most was that Zhao Chen also came up with a cooperation intention, that is, the full text outline and character modeling of "Parasitic Beast"!
Yan Mingjun is usually a little inferior and silent assistant, especially after becoming Zhao Chen's full-time assistant, the inferiority complex in his heart has expanded, but Zhao Chen's assistants can not only be said to be talented, but most of them have their own unique skills.
Among them, what makes Yan Mingjun feel inferior is Yoshihiro Fujian, Yoshihiro Fujian's talent in comics is obviously higher than that of other assistants, and his strength at a young age is no worse than him, but the problem is that Yoshihiro Fujian has been an assistant for less than a year, and he is six years younger than him in terms of age.
But in such a situation, Zhao Chen did not choose other assistants, but chose himself who thought he was mediocre. After reading the outline and character modeling of "Parasitic Beast", Yan Mingjun naturally and intuitively knows the wonderful Cheng dù of "Parasitic Beast", if it is coupled with Zhao Chen's fame, it can be said that such a comic may make him a well-known cartoonist.
For Yan Myeong-kyun, happiness came so quickly that this kind of plot, which was originally only seen in YY, turned out to be a reality.
Yan Ming is not a stupid person, and in the end, he is naturally grateful to accept Zhao Chen's intention to cooperate, in his opinion, this is an opportunity for himself. also respects Zhao Chen to the extreme, and even his loyalty to the Tianxia Society is also rising!
It's a pity that he didn't know that "Parasitic Beast" was originally his future work, and Yan Mingjun's situation standard belongs to the typical example of being sold and helping people make money!
After finishing a town-published horror comic, Zhao Chen immediately began to fall into deep thought. Although I have seen a lot of classic comics in my previous life, due to the relationship between otaku, I basically don't watch horror anime when I'm alone, after all, watching horror anime without anyone will undoubtedly be suspicious, and I'm afraid that there will be ghosts behind me!
It's because Zhao Chen has seen horror anime is relatively rare, but they are often more classic, no way, there are too many anime, good and bad. Even if you watch him all, you don't have so much time, so he mainly looks at fame, painting style, and ratings to watch specific anime.
In addition to the famous "Parasitic Beast", Zhao Chen also has "Tokyo Ghoul", "Ghoul", "Hell Girl", "School Apocalypse", "Fairy Melody" and "Fantasy Prince" in his mind, but his favorite is undoubtedly the first three.
However, because "Hell Girl" has a good art style, it is really boring at the beginning, as a new horror comic publication, how can you choose "Hell Girl"!
As a result, Zhao Chen's main focus fell on "Tokyo Ghoul" and "Ghoul".
And these two are actually very good choices. Although "Tokyo Ghoul" is wonderful, it only has one season before it is reborn. In Zhao Chen's opinion, it is an unfinished work, and if you want to end it in the future, you will undoubtedly need to spend a lot of effort to improve the plot behind.
In the end, "Ghouls" became his last choice!
Ghoul began as a horror novel written by Yuyumi Ono, followed by manga and anime.
There are naturally some differences between anime and the original novel, but the difference is not big. The main difference is that the protagonist of the novel is Shizushin Muroi, who is hypocritical on the surface and evil on the inside, while in the anime, it is the righteous and brave Natsuno Yuuki.
In Zhao Chen's opinion, no matter how he chooses, he will choose Yuki Natsuno, instead of Shizunobu Muroi, who makes people complain endlessly!
It's like in the novel written by Shizunobu Muroi himself in the anime. The demon brother is his true self, the angel brother is the disguise he wears in front of the villagers, and the ghouls who pretend to sympathize with the tortured and killed are also masks, and using the ghouls to destroy Miè Village is the real heart.
Of course, there are also occasional readers who think that Shizunobu Muroi is a kind person, and his ghouls fully reflect his confusion and struggle. However, he is fundamentally anti-‖, because the ‖ restricts him and forces him to play the role he does not want to play, not only to be less presiding, but also to be forced to be a good person in the eyes of the villagers. Shizunobu Muroi once thought about resisting, but as long as he was still human, even if he escaped from the village, he would still be bound by the rules of the ‖ Society, so the resistance he chose in despair was suicide.
It's a pity that because he was too cowardly, he made Shizuki Muroi disheartened and abandoned himself on the path that the social ‖ would ask him to take. He is lonely, he is confused, and his writing has become his spiritual catharsis, but even if the villagers collect his works, it is not because they understand him. Shizunshin is a loner in the village, both physically and mentally, and their paths are completely opposite. And the novels he wrote never wrote the end of the ghouls, because even he himself could not see the answer.
The appearance of Shazi was a salvation for him, and Shazi was not only an admirer and understander of Shizushin, but Shazi's identity as a ghoul also allowed Shizushin to see the dawn of jumping out of the constraints of the ‖ Society.
So Shizunobu Muroi finally killed himself as a human being, became a human wolf, and escaped from the village and the ‖ society.
Of course, this is only the point of view formed by bringing in the character of Shizunobu Muroi, and the so-called authorities are fans of bystanders, and the vast majority of manga fans often see the other side from the sidelines.
In their opinion, Muroi Shizunobu did not do a qiē to survive, he is an extremely world-weary person, his overly sensitive nerves and rich spiritual world make him feel hopeless about the world and human nature, he can't tolerate the slightest evil, but if he doesn't do evil, he can't exist in the world at all. The gap between the world he expects and the real world is too big, but unlike those little ghosts who have no self-knowledge in front of the world and confront the world with a momentary hot-headedness, he deeply feels the powerlessness of being a human individual in front of the world. It is precisely because he abandoned his illusions about the world and clearly understood that no matter how much resistance can not get rid of the innate rules of human beings, Shizushin will be content with the arrangement of fate to inherit the temple, because he knows that no matter what he does, his heart's wish will not be fulfilled, as long as he is still wearing a stinking human skin.
But the arrival of the ghouls gives him a glimpse of the collapse of this whole world. The heart-to-heart with the sand also allowed him to slowly understand his heart. He subconsciously looked forward to the destruction and bondage of the village. Of course, this kind of deeply suppressed heart does not suddenly appear on the surface, just like when you go from hating someone to hating to hating to erasing it yourself, this is not a psychological transformation process that can be completed suddenly. Shizunobu Muroi is the same, there is an extremely long process of change between his initial state of mind and the emotions he holds at the end. From the initial cowardice and confusion, not knowing how to deal with ghouls, until Toshio knew that Kanemasa had a problem but still encouraged the shrine maiden Hiromi to challenge Kanemasa as a substitute for the dead ghost and used his wife as a prop to be cruel, it can be said that Shizunobu Muroi at that time had completely fallen into despair of human nature. As his novel says, although the neighbor has compassion for his fellow citizens who share the order, he does not hesitate to treat the enemy. Neighbors will also hate, reprimand, and curse others, but they will never show their cruel side in front of their fellow citizens. Are neighbors like these, who distinguish one another from each other, really good people? Are those neighbors really innocent? He was skeptical.
Shizunobu Muroi cannot agree with such a flawed man, but if humanity does not maintain such a clear and opposing good and evil, it will not be able to unite and prosper and prosper, and only in this way can humanity establish its own place on the exiled wilderness. But this kind of concept, which is regarded as common sense by the public, is unacceptable to Shizunobu Muroi. And the departure of his father made Shizushin greatly shaken his position, and his father voluntarily went to the ghoul side, which Shizushin had expected long before stepping into Kanesada, and was finally confirmed after entering Kanesada.
Toshio and his father, two people who were very important to him, pushed him hard as he wavered on the line. It also strengthened his determination to throw himself into ghouls. In the end, after becoming a human wolf, Shizushin really saw himself clearly and defined himself, and by that time he had abandoned the imperfect goodness of human beings from both the spiritual and physical aspects, and truly lived for his true heart.
It's just ironic that Shazi's ideal is to build a society of ghouls, something that Shizushin wants to get rid of. Shazi has become a non-human, but is pursuing to become a "human", while Jingxin, as a human, is pursuing a non-human.
Of course, the most important point is very clear. That is, Shizunobu Muroi's novel about the village attracts Shazi, who wants to build a ghoul village, and his heretic theme resonates with Sand. So Shazi read every novel by Shizushin. With curiosity about the author, she leads the ghouls to the village, bringing death and destruction to the village. That is, from the very beginning, whether or not he admits that Muroi Shizunobu is the source of destruction, let alone what he did afterwards.
In addition, in the end, even he himself admitted that he had murderous intent towards the village, and he had no feelings for his parents. He did not stop his father from dying, and his mother did not mourn or weep after her death, as if they were no different from the villagers who came to the temple to mourn.
Of course, in the end, Shizunobu Muroi took away the sand that was the source of the ghouls, and it is not difficult to guess that their combination will form a greater crisis. Causing more deaths, every qiē and every qiē all originated from this hypocritical monk!
In Zhao Chen's opinion, the monk Muroi Shizushin was actually helping Shazi from the beginning, because they were also lonely and sympathetic to Shazi, even if they destroyed the village, it didn't matter, because the village had nothing to do with him in the first place. Perhaps this anime is going to show a lot of potential things, regardless of the selfishness of human nature or the character of Shizunobu Muroi.
As for the plot of the ghouls depicted at the end of the animation being too miserable and the villagers are too violent, it makes most people who sympathize with the weak have the idea of ghouls being pitiful, and this idea is undoubtedly ridiculous! Think about those innocent and tragic villagers and the style of killing people when they see them, what is so pitiful about them!
As for the violence of those villagers, it is nothing more than the extreme fear of the expression, especially the grief and anger of relatives and friends being killed by ghouls, which is completely a vent from the bottom of the heart. What's more, the two sides have reached the point where either you die or I die, and everything is for survival. (To be continued......)
