"Tian Yuan Breaks Through the Eye of the Red Lotus", a title that is as completely unintelligible as "EVA" and "FLCL", unfolds a passionate and unrestrained story with a setting that cannot be said to be stunning but unique. Ground? drill? Face? The sense of disobedience that had something to do with the universe completely vanished the moment Big Brother and Simon broke through the surface. This pursuit of freedom to break through the sky in one breath is more direct than "Lelouch", more vulgar than "EVA", and brighter than "Big-O". The momentum of machine war films is slow and hot, and the protagonist's heart and the will of the world gradually become stronger and more complicated, but "Tianyuan Breakthrough" only takes 7 episodes to bring the man's momentum to the top, and 18 episodes show the will of the world. of the most vivid.
There is no stunning opening that can attract the audience's attention. Just like "Big-O", the setting of the world view is indispensable. The world view of "Tianyuan Breakthrough" is not new, but it is also unique. Humans living in the ground long for the freedom on the ground, but they have to face the suppression of robots called face. At first glance, you can guess that the protagonist fights the boss story, which naturally brings the eldest brother and simon to the world's stage, red lotus and naked eyes, completely different from the hardcore battle of "Gundam", this strange face grows on the stomach As soon as the machine came out, the second mode was turned on, but no matter how you look at the dog-blood setting where the chrysanthemum grows and inserts the drill into the forehead, it is better than the "Tiejia Xiaobao" where the chrysanthemum changes its head. The two men are decisive and hesitant, strong and cowardly, a girl with big breasts, one hard and one soft (there is also a pig), it is easy to make people think that this is the main color of this film, what is it? , you thought you were watching Digimon?
This is the story of a man who calmly accepts his fate in the face of the judgment of the world. The eldest brother Kamina can be said to be the most distinctive character in the early stage. His obsession with pursuing freedom beyond ordinary people has made him the soul of the fighting organization Red Lotus. The character, his reckless brute force and overly strong personality doomed him to become a tragedy. But even if so many flags are erected, it does not affect the important position of kamina at all. The statue of kamina after the war and the memory of killing and saving mankind all prove this. The sacrifice of Kamina in episode 7, the unusual reversal that killed the protagonist, pushed the momentum and blood of victory to the highest point, and also hit the audience's will to the bottom. The appearance of niya in episode 8 successfully transferred the resentment of the dead to the expectation of the new protagonist (sister), and Simon, who was immersed in grief and unable to extricate himself, had a new belief and will to fight. This uninterrupted connection is wonderful, and the non-stop battle burns to the end despite the constant change of the enemy.
From the Four Heavenly Kings to the Spiral Kings, the battle that killed the King of Science like running clouds and flowing water taught us that pure blood has no logic, no hesitation, and can't help talking! Kamina's sacrifice and Niya's appearance supported Simon's determination to grow from a boy to a man. As the inheritance of his will, Simon led everyone to defeat the world's ruler, the Spiral King. Relying on the momentum, there is power when you shout it. This kind of will is called the spiral force. I just want to say, "It's so cool, can I shout it!".
Damn, it's not right to think about it. After 16 episodes, the boss is over. What about the next 10 episodes; Niu B, it took 7 years for humans to evolve from primitive society to high-tech society. The last words of the Spiral King have been fulfilled, and the moon will punish you! The post-war world revealed the cruel facts. There is no need for heroes in peaceful times, and the political shady can be done even if it is reluctant. It's just that in "Tianyuan Breakthrough", the motives and reasons are no longer so rigorous and they are passed over, just as Ke Tang said, "Don't pay attention to the details!".
With 16 episodes as the separation, it can be said that "Tianyuan Breakthrough" has two different strategic stages. The subversion, whitewashing and reversal of the characters are always a lingering theme. Just as human beings were sealed underground at the beginning, justice It is also sealed in the inner world of each party, and the consciousness that does not break through the sky will always be buried in the bottom of the valley. The so-called justice is just the wishful thinking of the party who insists on justice. When denying the justice of others becomes its own justice, contradictions will occur. Although the first part is full of heuristic foreshadowing, without the dying last words of the Spiral King, no one would have thought that the seemingly evil party is just gorgeously disguised, everyone has their own justice, but the way to achieve it is different.
The justice of the Spiral King Roger Nomu has raised him to a new level. The ultimate boss in the first part, changed the image of the villain, and revealed his identity as the leader of the war between the Spiral Warrior and the Anti-Spiral Race. In the follow-up Cosmic War Zhong became the key for mankind to defeat the anti-spiral family, and used the illusory body to resist the big move of the anti-spiral family boss. Also insisting on his own justice is Bilalu, the orc who was given eternal life by the Spiral King. He insisted on his will to fight in a clear and open manner from beginning to end. Therefore, he did not attack the naked Kamina in the hot spring hotel, nor did he take advantage of the Sitmantola (Four Heavenly Kings). 1) Attacking Guren while taking hostages, and even eventually fighting recklessly to protect humans.
There is no absolute logic, only pure blood. When Dayan Shan was inserted at the top of Tie Peilin and started to explode, who would have thought of that bloody emergency escape; Dozens of times of soaring diamonds spewed out; when Ketang stood at the bottom of the sea of ​​death spiral and was crushed into a ball by huge pressure, who would have expected that the instantaneous explosion halo could reverse the situation; when Simon realized that the spiral force would give the universe Bringing destruction and hesitating, who can know the father-in-law's (spiral king) sentence of God to make up for the knife, motherfucker universe can not want a girl, how can you not...
There is no reason, no logic, no hesitation, just an irrepressible instinct driven Humans break through the sky of freedom, I want the girl and the universe, just do it. This kind of arrogant and unreasonable ignited the blood that surpassed the Saint Seiya small universe and subdued the cosmic battleship Yamato, and no more explanation was needed.
