What exactly is a Thorn Ball?

This is a question that many viewers have been puzzled by since the start of the animation "The Adventures of Little Carp", because they have never heard of such a thing as a thorn ball.

This thing looks a lot like a sea urchin.

But the name is not called sea urchin, but what is it called a thorn ball......

In nature, it seems to be another name for a thorny green plant, but that thing doesn't grow on the bottom of the sea, so the question is, what exactly is the thorn ball that the leper snake uses to stop itching?

The reason why the audience wants to know the answer is not only because of their own curiosity, but also because they are very excited about the effect of the stabbing ball.

Itch relief!

The body of the leprosy snake is pustular pimples, which can also be said to be skin diseases, and the itching is unbearable when it always occurs, and the stinging ball can greatly relieve the pain of the leprosy snake.

Coincidentally, in reality, there are many people who are plagued by strange diseases like leprosy snakes, and have pimples and pus on their bodies that are itchy and unbearable, and they will naturally be surprised when they see the thorny balls in the animation, and even want to try to see if they can really stop itching.

But after looking for a long time, they couldn't find the realistic prototype of the thorn ball, so they wondered if this thing was a fictional species created by the animation production team?

"Half and half ......"

As the director, Guo Hongwei was preparing for the Year of the Rooster movie, so he didn't have time to answer the audience's questions, so Gu Miao, as the producer, stood up and replied to everyone's hot questions on social platforms.

He explained to everyone that the stabbing ball was a half-fictional and half-realistic thing.

Its shape is a reference to the shape of sea urchins and some thorny plants, but its anti-itching effect is pure nonsense, and even the anime does not mention that it is beneficial.

The reason why the leper skin snake uses the stinging ball to relieve itching is because he has thick skin and thick flesh, and uses it to relieve the pain by attacking poison with poison, but it is not said in the animation that the stinging ball is a good thing.

Contrary!

The spiny ball is a species that is extremely destructive to the underwater environment, which can be seen by referring to the large number of spiny balls that breed in the carp lake, and the worried expression of the carp grandmother.

"What kind of snake is a leper snake?"

"Scrocose Snake!"

Gu Miao is not very sure about this question, because he really doesn't know much about snakes, and he hasn't studied the prototype of the leper snake, he only knows that this thing should be an aquatic snake.

Sea snakes are also possible, but the leprosy snakes are definitely not those that live on land.

Some people also asked, in the animation "The Adventures of Little Carp", Grandma Bubble asked Bubbles to find the real dragon, but is there really such a creature as a "dragon" in the animation?

"The real dragon exists, but he's dead."

Gu Miao patiently explained: "A long time ago, the underwater world encountered an unprecedented crisis, and the true dragon appeared and solved the crisis, but he also paid the price with his life. ”

"Before he died, he entrusted his dragon horns to his trusted subordinate Lao Juao for safekeeping, but he was taken away by the Leper Snake, which is also the source of the Leper Snake's strength......"

It's also interesting.

After the death of the true dragon, there were two treasures, namely the Five Elements Dragon Scales and the Dragon Horn, judging from the final defeat of the Leper Snake by Bubbles and others, the power of the Dragon Horn is obviously not as strong as the Five Elements Dragon Scales.

It can also be said that the Five Elements Dragon Scale itself is not strong, but with the blessing of strong faith, it can become stronger than the Dragon Horn.

So the question is, why before the fall of the real dragon, what was left to the old giant was not the five elements dragon scales but the dragon horns?

……

"The real dragon may have expected this day, so he deliberately left the Five Elements Dragon Scales and scattered them all over the world, which can be regarded as a means to resist the dragon horns."

"Thinking about it further, whether it is the leper skin snake or bubbles and others, in fact, the power comes from the true dragon, and it can be regarded as the inheritor of the power and will of the true dragon, and the real dragon left these things, it is also possible that he is cultivating a new true dragon to be born!"

While making tea, Ma Kui, who was analyzing the reasons for Mr. Gu, suddenly thought: "Do you think there is a possibility that the Five Elements Dragon Scale was originally born, not for five people, but for one person?" ”

Just like the zodiac spell of the Holy Lord in the animation of "The Adventures of Uncle Dragon", it seems to be twelve completely different powers, but it can be attributed to one person.

The Five Elements Dragon Scales were all left by the True Dragon, which means that the power of the Dragon Scales was all attributed to the True Dragon alone.

In that case, then who stipulates that the Five Elements Dragon Scale must be one for each person? Couldn't Bubbles have a monopoly on the Five Elements Dragon Scales by one person?

"You...... It doesn't make sense! ”

Gu Miao rolled his eyes and said, "If Bubble can use five dragon scales by himself, then he is not a little carp, but a second real dragon." ”

"But at the end of the story, Bubbles, Aku and the others have already jumped over the dragon gate, and in a sense, they have become dragons!"

"That's what I said, but ......"

As Gu Miao spoke, she gradually fell silent.

The setting of the five elements dragon scales reminded him of the special drama "Armored Warriors", which was once popular all over the country, and there are also five sets of armor based on the five elements.

This is not the point, the point is that among the armored warriors, there is a set of armor called the emperor, which gathers the power of the five elements armor, which can be regarded as a collection of the five elements armor.

The armor of the five elements can be fused into one, and the five elements dragon scales are unreasonable.

In other words, in the animation "The Adventures of Little Carp", it is completely possible for Bubbles to gather the power of the five elements of dragon scales and turn into a "super bubble" form of half dragon and half carp.

Isn't that handsome?

It's a pity that the animation has already been completed and broadcast, and it must be too late to change the settings temporarily. However, this idea can be realized in a sequel or even a special.

"Huh? Sequel?! ”

Hearing this, Ma Kui was so frightened that he almost didn't hold the teapot in his hand, and asked with a somewhat surprised expression: "The dragon gate has leaped, and the leper snake is also dead, how can there be a sequel?" ”

"Oh, simple!"

Gu Miao smiled and didn't explain too much.

Not only Ma Kui, but also himself, in fact, felt that an animation like "The Adventures of Little Carp" should not be able to produce a sequel, after all, the story is too satisfying.

But after Guo Hongwei's reminder, he found that the seemingly successful finale of "The Adventures of Little Carp" finally buried a foreshadowing that could extend a large part of the plot.

The fangs of the leper snake!

Didn't expect that, right? Although the seemingly cool Leper Snake died at the end, his fangs disappeared, and Bubbles and the others decided to find the fangs.

This foreshadowing is available in the original.

If nothing else, the reason why the production team left this foreshadowing should be in preparation for the launch of a sequel in the future.

But it's a pity......

Until more than ten years later, this foreshadowing has still not been retracted, and the adventures of the animated little carp have not been reported for a long time, and there is no news about the production of a second season sequel or a special.

I don't know if the production team forgot about it, or if it couldn't be done at all?
