I have been facing the end of tutoring since junior high school, and after the animation update was hopeless, I lost my enthusiasm for chasing after a few years of "The Wolf is Coming".

In recent years, I have only been chasing small volleyball, and then I have finished reading the 26 episodes of this "Ghost Slayer" in one breath➕Manga.

Because the animation is adapted from the comics, it is naturally impossible to evaluate the animation without the comics, and only by reading the comics can you better understand the story. After reading the whole story, and seeing many people's dissatisfaction with Ghost Slayer, I think I can make the following understandings.

1. Why Tanzhilang suddenly started hanging up when he recalled his father dancing inexplicably.

Answer: The idea conveyed by the author at the end is actually that "the will of human beings to resist is handed down from generation to generation". Tannoro's gradual mastery of the breath of the sun is proof of this.

Tanzhirou recalled his father's dance for the first time and recalled the breathing method his father said, but he did not fully grasp the sun's breath. After a hard blow, he also had the huge side effect of forcibly using the sun's breath as a sun's breath user.

Because my father's dance is also the result of being passed down from generation to generation, but it is the product of the highest crystallization of human anti-ghost wisdom. Including the father even using the breath of the sun to take the wild bear's head with a weak body, which shows the power of the breath of the sun.

At the last stop, he passed out after fainting and came to the memory of his ancestors. He finally learned the breath of the sun directly in the face of Yuanyi, and he was able to become a user of the breath of the sun to a certain extent. And the scars left by the ochre blade inspired by Yuanyi's use of the breath of the sun on Wu Mian's body also surfaced, pointing the way for future generations.

Tanzhilang represents the result of the unswerving inheritance of the will to destroy ghosts from generation to generation. Inheritance does not require blood ties, but only needs the same emotion and will, which can produce power that will never be understood. Humans do not pursue immortality, fame and fortune, but only happiness, and fight with courage for the happiness of more people.

In the last battle, the protagonist didn't really hang up. He just took the opportunity to get him up after the seniors tried their best to use drugs and consumed a lot of life.

In the last battle, we can see those who said that they just didn't have the guts to go to the battlefield, so they became logistics members. They desperately pushed the tram to block the route of escape. For these incompetent logistics members, pushing the tram It also hung up once.

2. Why wash them away with stories about ghosts?

To talk about why ghosts become ghosts, it is not to say that ghosts will be innocent, but to reflect the symptoms of society and how ordinary and great the human beings who have not become ghosts despite many sorrows and sufferings.

He is also a powerful swordsman. Someone is afraid of death and chooses to be called a ghost (Shang Xianyi), and he has been trying to make many ghost killers join the ghost team from beginning to end, but he has not achieved anything. It's not that the people of the Ghost Killing Team don't want to live, and the people of the Ghost Killing Team understand why they are on this path and why they live.

Shang Xianyi was jealous because of Yuanyi's genius and wanted to improve his skills, so he abandoned his wife and abandoned his son to become a ghost killer. The reason why he became a ghost killer was not even the hundreds of soldiers killed by ghosts. Before he became a ghost He's lost his humanity.

But what about his younger brother, Enichi? Since he was a child, he saw the world and did not participate in family disputes, so he had a pure heart. After owning his own family, he was tragically destroyed. For revenge, in order to prevent more families from encountering tragedy, he embarked on the road of killing ghosts.

Therefore, in the face of the pressure of the appearance of Zebra's life span of less than 25, Shang Xianyi chose to become a ghost, but Yuanyi adhered to the bottom line of being a human being. Finally, he found his brother with the help of an old man, and said the phrase "how sad."

There are also many evil ghosts, and their fate is indeed tragic, but do miserable people necessarily become ghosts? The pitiful nature of hateful ghosts can help us eliminate hatred, and facing evil ghosts with compassion is a more lethal attitude than pure hatred for evil ghosts.

Those evil ghosts often shed tears in the face of Tan Zhilang's final blow, and only when their resentment is resolved can they leave the world willingly. The same is true for Shang Xian San. After he found himself, he firmly bid farewell to the world, otherwise he would live Desire will make him like Wu Miserable, even if it is broken into minced meat, he will still live.

After reading the comics, no one will have the slightest impression of the villain with such gorgeous facial features. He is truly evil, and he has been that way since he was a man. He only has a deformed desire to survive. For the desire to survive, he can kill the doctor who saved him, and madly create ghosts to harm the world. Those coaxing in the name of redemption are just to make more powerful humans his test objects.

He just wants to be an immortal who can walk under the sun, and he doesn't care about those ghosts who die because of him, and he doesn't care about those poor people who die because of ghosts. He has hurt the world for thousands of years because of his deformed desire to survive. He didn't even do what the last person would say when he was about to die...

3. The level of animation is much higher than that of comics?

Regarding the argument that many comics are elevated by animation, I believe that animation and comics are mutual achievements. The animation is indeed much higher than the comics in terms of picture refinement, but basically the content core of the comics is worthy of such production. If it is not worthy, the creators participating in the animation will not be willing to carry the sedan chair for this.

Without the foundation laid by the comics, no matter how gorgeous the animation is, it is just an empty shell. The comics focus more on the narrative than the picture, but the drawing skills are enough to support the story, so passionate and attractive that I read more than 140 chapters in one night.

This is a very complete Ukiyo-e of people and ghosts. Rather than highlighting the protagonist alone, he describes the struggle of mankind from the perspective of the protagonist. The protagonist is not the most powerful, not the most talented, but the kindest, The most determined and hard-working, the three advantages may seem inconspicuous, but they are the most difficult to implement for a long time and the most touching (ghost heart). And these three advantages are also the pearls in the ranks of the best qualities of mankind.

Treat the world kindly with compassion, fight against fate with flesh and blood, and move forward with immortal courage.

I can't say it's a perfect comic, nor can I say it's a perfect animation, but it tries to tell the story of human nature, why the weak are weak, the evil are evil, and the good are good. This is many levels higher than many cartoons and animations with flat characters.

I want to see more comics and animations that are willing to analyze human nature, instead of just relying on the old tricks of tailoring and new ones. And the Blade of Demon Slayer made me see such hope.
