Using and manipulating others is the ninja's unique skill!

Do you still remember the last dialogue between Zhuoan and Tobei (hereinafter referred to as Jubei) in "Jubei Ninkaze"?

Zhuoan said: "Although it is short, but as a woman, I can fall in love with you..."

Jubei asked: "Is this also your plan?"

Zhuo'an replied: "Maybe it's... the ninja's unique skill is to be able to see other people's minds and to manipulate people."

This can't help but make people feel that the Beast Guard, Yang Yan was used as a chess piece from the beginning to smash the dark general's conspiracy.

As long as they succeed, Zhuoan will be the biggest winner, and the Tokugawa shogunate will be the biggest beneficiary behind it.

I have to say that he is really a scheming boy.

Having said that, how did Jubingwei and Yangyan step into the trap designed by Zhuoan? This is really necessary to talk about.

1. Both soft and hard

Early in the animation, Zhuoan and his companions were the first to intervene in the investigation of the "Plague Incident in Shita Village".

Because the enemy is a group of eight ghosts, the ability to fight groups is extremely strong, and only Zhuoan is left after several group battles, which forces him to find reliable teammates.

While following Tie Zhai (hereinafter referred to as the Stone Man), Zhuoan got to know the two figures of Beast Guard and Yang Yan.

They could escape from the Golems, proving that their abilities should not be underestimated, so Zhuoan immediately locked up his teammates.

When he saw Jubei meet the Golem again and win, Zhuoan couldn't wait to persuade him to form a team, but was rejected.

But he did not give up, but quietly waited for the opportunity.

It is worth noting that, besides the superb swordsmanship of the Beast Guards, the reason why the Golem was defeated was also the special skills of Yang Yan.

When Snake Nv Hongli trapped Yubei in the illusion that she made, it was Zhuoan who swung a shuriken to stab at the arm of Yubei, freeing him from the illusion.

The crisis was lifted, and Zhuoan once again proposed to form a team, but was still rejected by the Beast Guard.

Zhuo'an thought to himself: Since soft is not good, I have to come hard.

So bluntly, the surface of this shuriken is coated with poison. If you don't team up with me, you will die of poison in a few days.

At first Jubei didn't believe it, until the poisonous attack vomited blood, he realized that the short and ugly monk hadn't lied.

Due to the current situation, the Beast Guards agreed to be hired by him with the two agreements of 100 taels and detoxification, to carry out the investigation task of the "Xiatian Village Plague Incident" together.

In order to strengthen Jubei's determination to carry out the mission, Zhuoan also used the ice room bridge that may not die (it was chopped off by Jubei) to stabilize him.

2. Use people's hearts

The Beast Guard was done, and the next step was to do Yang Yan's ideological work.

Earlier, student Man mentioned that because Zhuo'an observed meticulously, he knew that Yang Yan had a special skill, which was confirmed by the development of the plot later.

This kind of body that can poison him to death by interacting with others is the one that Zhuoan thinks is the most suitable for living a hellish life. At the same time, she is also looking at her to dissolve the poison on the animal soldier's body, as the so-called fight with poison.

Zhuo'an knew very well that the character of Nuan Nan, the guardian of the beast soldier, would surely make Yang Yan fall in love without knowing it. This may also be part of the plan.

How to convince Yang Yan?

He used the important information he had in his hand as a bargaining chip in exchange for Yang Yan to team up with him, because Zhuoan expected her to be desperate and would definitely team up with him.

He even said: "Although the three of us have different positions, we have common enemies. The more friends we have here, the better."

Based on his own interests, Yang Yan finally chose to form a team with Zhuo'an, and the three-person team was formally established.

Have you noticed that this is exactly like the group of three in "Naruto"?

Regarding this problem, there is an explanation on the Internet: the setting of the three-person group comes from the game "Tianwai Mirror" developed by Prince Hiroi and others in 1989.

There are exactly three protagonists in the game, namely Jiraiya, Oshamaru and Tsunade of the Huo Clan.

3. The satire of the shogunate

In the end, I believe that the fans who read "Jubei Ninfu Post" are very clear.

With the help of the Beast Guard and the power of Yang Yan, Zhuo'an successfully smashed the dark general's conspiracy, and by the way also solved the eight ghosts.

Having talked about this, classmate Man is thinking about another issue.

Why did Yoshiaki Kawajiri set Chuan as a short, ugly, ruthless, insidious, cunning, gracious and greedy Tokugawa shogunate secret agent?

Man boldly guessed that this might be a metaphor for his mockery of the Tokugawa shogunate.

That is to say, everyone is at different levels, but to those in power, they are just arbitrarily played chess pieces, and they will be thrown aside or even eliminated after they are used.

In the end, Yubingwei can fall in love with Yang Yan in this mission, and classmate Man feels quite relieved.

    Jubei: I thought rats usually leave a sinking ship.

    Lord Himuro Gemma: Heh! I suppose you want to avenge that ninja girl, Kagero. She's nothing compared to what I'm going to lose with this ship.

    Jubei: Prepare to lose your life as well!

    Kagero: They've had two hours.

    Jubei: Hmm. I see.

    Kagero: You knew it was a trap, and yet you still came to rescue me. Why did you do that? Why risk your life to save me?

    [takes off her clothes]

    Jubei: What are you doing?

    Kagero: The old man told me how to do it - counteract the poison. "Kill poison with poison", he said. He said, if you make love to me, you'll be free from poison. Mine will destroy it... so you must take me now.

    [Jubei embraces Kagero, but leaves when he hears the Shogun of the Dark's ship nearby]

    Kagero: What are you doing? You'll die unless you take me! Why not? Wait, Jubei!
