【One of them! MIX Oedo】
"This country was called the 'country of samurai', and it has been a long time ago."
With such lines, it is the magnificent reform, the helpless humiliation of compromise; the bloody battle, the true feelings It is timeless and new; it is the bloody battle of the barbarians and the grievances of the shogunate after the "celestial beings" in spaceships came to Japan 20 years ago; it is the implementation of the unequal treaty and the promulgation of the "Knife Abolition Order". The power of the puppet government and the rampant forces of heaven and man; it is a source of silenced lines and a hotbed of mosaic images, and a long-term complaint object of the PTA (Parent-Teacher Association); Modern Fauvism Surreal Deconstruction (the above can be skipped) masterpiece: pseudo-costume period drama "Gintama".
Since its serialization in the February 2004 issue, "Gintama", which was clearly published on "Weekly Shonen Jump" but won the reputation of "Housewife's Friend", can probably be called the so-called "kingdom" in "BAKUMAN". "Man of mixed races. Regardless of the background setting, comic characters or storyline, they have always maintained a wonderful balance between reality and fantasy, history and future
. UFOs, lonely warriors who call cardboard boxes "MY HOME" and take newspapers as their underwear linger in remote alleys; heavenly beings in fancy clothes and earthlings in various modified kimonos are shoulder-to-shoulder, and armed policemen in western uniforms are holding hands. Japanese knives, bazooka (...and badminton rackets) show off their power, from kappa, ghosts, cat ears, cheongsam girls with dumplings to the turtles and princesses in the Dragon Palace are all aliens.
On the other hand, online idol clubs, online chat rooms ("Holy Samurai Exchange Field"...what's the name) and online games ("monkey hunter", a spoof of "monster hunter") gather all kinds of idlers, MADAO, singing and dancing. The Kicachi paper is still a fan of gold, the city center stands a towering cosmic port, "Weekly Shonen JUMP" stands still, Sony and Benten (...obviously, Nintendo) continue to compete, and the idol house animation house squatting at the old family And so on and so forth... in a nutshell, it's hardly any different from contemporary Tokyo.
Judging from the social background, the shogunate has become a puppet of heaven and man. There are illegal flower streets underground, and the sign "No Earth People" is hung on the door of the restaurant. Among the samurai who felt betrayed by the shogunate after the abolition of the sword, there were divided into the fighters who carried out bombing and assassination activities against the gods and the true terrorists who tried to destroy everything. Carrying out "routine (unannounced) inspections" (are you actually the city X law enforcement!) to set up the stalls of the anti-Yi sect... Under the appearance of "it is no different from real life", there are constant torrents and undercurrents, which can be triggered at any moment—— and The beginning of this story is the best proof:
the hyperglycemic samurai Sakata Ginshi, who was angry with "the doctor only allowed me to eat sweets once a week, you actually poured it on me!" beat the troubled leopard head to the ground. After the accident, Shimura Shinpachi, a teenager with popular face glasses and glasses, rode a motorcycle and ran wildly. By the way, he saved Shinpachi's sister who was caught by a loan shark and went to work in the "Pantless Hot Pot Paradise". ...Oh no, the aspiring teenager Shinpachi got on the thief ship "running the (almost always negative profit) Master House with Ah Yin", and then picked it up when he went out to buy "JUMP" in order to get enough food. Part-time work on Earth (working as a gangster...) The head of the dumplings, the power of Lolita Kagura...
[The second! MIX Rogue Soul]
The characters who live in such a seemingly peaceful world are so familiar and unique, sometimes they come to KUSO or COS, but they are very different from the characters in other stories.
The male No. 1, Sakata Gintoki, a samurai with a high blood sugar wooden sword with dead fish eyes. Although in terms of "old age", the 72-year-old Taigongwang and the 28-year-old Hiimura Kenshin can't compete, they have a strong uncle atmosphere that is far better than the above-mentioned baby-faced two (but I haven't quit "JUMP" in my twenties) , Picking your nose and scratching your nose in public is commonplace, and all kinds of lines that are "indecent" and "unsuitable for children" can be blurted out like a poem and a poem at all times. One of the most obscene and salty comics ever published), the hero Yan Tian. Often while resentment "I also want to have a refreshing straight hair if possible!" At the same time, he rambles about "naturally curly guys are not bad". Ten thousand years of poverty, ten thousand years of rent arrears (it is said that it is not because he is lazy, but because his loli and dogs are too edible...), forced to make a living, he occasionally goes to work in a ladyboy club. His stage name is "Little Paper". Double tail.
But at the same time, he has also inherited the characteristics of Xiaoqiang that the hero of the JUMP series can't be beaten to death, and he has amazing vitality, and his ability to talk and preach far better than the teenage hero in the general juvenile comics ( That's why he played the only teacher role in the novel version of "3 Years Group Z Ginba Teacher"?). In most cases, he can run away with a smile on his face and oil on the soles of his feet, but if his companions are in danger, he will definitely stand up to fight first; Ghost's "Shiroyasha"; the only thing about him that doesn't look like a juvenile manga hero is that he has never practiced a nirvana - if the silver-time preaching is not a nirvana.
As for the male No. 2 Shimura Shinpachi, known for his "ordinary public face", and "the first popular heroine in the history of JUMP to pick his nose in public" Kagura, they further strengthen Yinshi's "atypical juvenile manga hero" feature:
Xinba, who takes "Tucao", "Conscience and Common Sense of Wanshiwu", and "Housewife of Wanshiwu" as the role meanings, although he is the young master of the swordsmanship dojo "Hengdaoguan", but because of the promulgation of the abolition of the sword, his family has declined, and he has passed away. Living a life of working hard for Fuxing Dojo——but since he was dragged by Ah Yin on the thief boat, he has almost never received a salary. Instead, he was forced to accompany Yin Shi to work in a ladyboy club in order to pay the rent. It's already miserable enough, not to mention that there is another sister in his family, A Miao, whose beauty is proportional to the violence index and inversely proportional to the cooking ability value, and who loves Haagen-Dazs. "As a result of this, this unfortunate young man with a disability (disability?!) was even hailed by the people as an existence with "the main components are 90% glasses and a little other", only in the incarnation of It was only when the "Simentong Guards Captain", who was hot-blooded and violent, and could use a super-kill to throw his nose over his shoulder at any time on his teammates, felt the meaning of his own existence... The male No. 1 partnered with such a male No. 2, In the end, should it be said that the people who are close to the ink are black (Xinba: he is the "ink", so I was dragged into the water!), or people are divided into groups?
And the strongest fighting nation in the universe, "Yatu clan", came to earth to work in order to eat enough white rice (later was kidnapped by Yinshi and Shinpachi from the underworld organization where she "worked", oh no, rescue), way of thinking Kagura, a girl with a cheongsam head and a cheongsam who calls herself the "Queen of Kabukicho", suddenly adds a "father attribute" that ordinary teenage male protagonists will never have. . She and her "very good, never killed anyone!" pet giant dog Dingchun's vast appetite, as well as the amazing destructive power proportional to the appetite, the blood is connected, so the same fierce father and brother, and the same kind of blood Rejecting each other and attracting opposite sexes, the Shinsengumi Master Okita, who fights when they meet, is the source of nightmares in the Masterpiece House every time... It's hard, as the saying goes, only when you raise a child is to know the kindness of your parents (what?)!
In addition to the pair of children under their knees (Gintoki: Enough to feed you!) and a giant dog, other related characters in the Master's House who appear on the scene from time to time and do some damage did not let Gintoki idle:
Yinshi's comrade-in-arms and private school classmate, "crazy noble son" Katsura Kotaro (the prototype is Katsura Kogoro, one of the "Three Heroes of the Restoration"), has always attracted attention because of his beauty and brain damage proportional to his beauty. "It's not a wig, it's Katsura! (The pronunciation of "Katsura" and "wig" in Japanese are similar, and it is said that Katsura Kotaro is quite appreciated by the manga artist Katsura Hoshino, who has the same nickname)" The famous line flaunts his decisive personality , The style of throwing bombs at every turn highlights his resolute spirit, pirates, monks, waiters, ninjas, plumbers (to be precise, Super Mario), women's clothing (to be precise, the popular ladyboy wig), RAP Singer, Elizabeth and other styles show his ever-changing charm. When interviewed by TV station, he also refused to wear a mask or his face was coded. His words and deeds showed his courageous and unyielding bearing in the face of danger (so he immediately exposed his whereabouts and was found by the true selection group. On the uninhabited island, the demeanor of singing "SOS" while writing "Mosaic" on the uninhabited island highlights his innocent and pure nature, and he actively participates in friendships, online games, online chat rooms, hot pot battles or Dragon Palace summer camp. , "Going to prison can also influence all the inmates (...move all the inmates together [separately] [privately] escape)" deeds illustrate his gentle and amiable character, even a driver's license or a few sheep must be imagined The behavior of the dog's blood at eight o'clock, and "all the women in the fantasy are called Matsuko ("Gintama" the proprietress of the ramen restaurant Jisong, the prototype is the wife Matsuko of Katsura Kogoro) "shows his romantic and unswerving love. Look...
cough, in short, the only advantage is the face, because the head show is often (very hard) self-destructing image, and has wife control mode, meat ball control mode (on the cat's paw), RAP mode and old mother mode Gui, such as various MODEs, is the leader, lighthouse, compass and weather vane of the moderate anti-foreign fighters. And Elizabeth, who was given to him by Tatsuma Sakamoto, was his pet, partner, comrade, comrade-in-arms, and nanny. Although the height is 180cm, the weight is 123kg, and the measurement ratio is 1:1:1, it has a streamlined and agile body, the agility of playing a pig and eating a tiger, and the omnipotence of Doraemon:
Its eyes can shoot dead light, its mouth can drill an electric drill, its skin can be turned into a parachute, its calf is covered with uncle-like body hair, and it also carries countless pieces like a folding stool to write, talk, kill, kill and kill. wooden planks. It will diligently search for people when Gui disappears, resolutely make a decision when Gui flees, set off a heroic appearance when Gui is handsome, handle housework when Gui is on the Internet, and share life and death when Gui fights... It seems lively and lovely, harmless to humans and animals, and has both ingenuity (" "Wings" coincidence?) There is a city in the heart. It has always been silent and only uses wooden signs to talk to others, but occasionally speaks at critical moments, and the CV is also animation supervisor Nobuji Takamatsu... It is calm, calm, gentle, and reliable. The darkest and most mysterious creature in the universe - Elizabeth!
Although Elizabeth is so versatile, she gave it to Katsura, who has the grand ideal of "reconciling the relationship between heaven and earth and realizing a win-win situation through commercial trade". Ryoma Sakamoto, who once set up the "Sea Aid Team"), is a fool who giggles all the time and is not inferior to Gui. He can't even remember the name of Yinshi, and he directly crashed his spaceship to the point where he had already suffered enough. Ruined house of all things.
The captain of the "Ghost Soldier Team" is always dressed in bandages, yukatas, and small smoking guns known as "oiran costumes". It was Takasugi Shinsaku, a member of the Changzhou domain, who founded the "Raiders Team"), who instigated and planned the many turmoils that have occurred so far in the story, and was wanted by the shogunate as "the most dangerous man among the wave warriors" - and this Everything is due to the death of his common mentor, Yoshida Songyang (the prototype is Yoshida Songyin, an educator at the end of the era), which ignited his hatred for the whole world, and therefore decided to incarnate as Shura and destroy everything.
In the face of a wide variety of terrorists (...), the shogunate established the armed police force "True Selection Group" headed by Kondo Isao, Hijikata Shirou, Okita Sogo and others (...group name and main characters' names The prototype should not need to be mentioned again). Although Gintoki, the former comrade-in-arms of the "terrorists", gets along pretty well with the Shinsengumi, it is inevitable that they are often affected or regarded as key surveillance targets. What's more, the gorilla Kondo's long-term unrequited love for Shinpachi's sister Shimura Miao (the prototype is A Miao, the lover of the Shinsengumi leader Kondo Isamu) does not diligently follow day and night (by the way, A Miao, who led to the runaway, caused her own dojo and even her younger brother to work many times) The serious destruction of the Master's House), "Mayonnaise Star" and a heavy smoker, Hijikata, because of the similar personality to Gintoki, he is very unpleasant to see each other, "S Star Prince" Okita and Kagura even meet in darkness...
with peacekeeping (Really?) The Shinsengumi, who have a meaning for their existence but are more often rioting, is undoubtedly aggravated by the unstable public security situation in Edomoto and the even more uneven life of Sweets in Gintoki, plus the incoherence with the boss. Loved female Ultraman, unemployed unemployed unemployed for thousands of years (referred to as MA·DA·O) Hasegawa Taizo, actually the swordsman Yagyu Kubei (originally a Japanese history Famous samurai Yagyu Jubei), idol singer Teramon Tong who loves to create lyrics that must be silenced, Saigo Tesheng (the prototype is Saigo Takamori, who is also known as one of the "Three Heroes of Restoration" together with Katsura Kotaro), Prince Hatta, a "LOVE & PEACE" fanatic who is keen on raising strange cosmic creatures, M-attribute glasses mother who is obsessed with silver time, Ninja Saruhi Ayame and her hemorrhoid senior brother Hattori Zenzo, Kagura's bald father Xinghaifangzhu, etc. Active, it has written one after another incomparably noisy legend in the already noisy Oedo.
【The third one! MIX Gossip Theory]
Looking back at that year, at the beginning of the animation, the "Hot Pot Heaven Without Panties" in the first episode of the comic version was changed to a more harmonious "Hot Pot Heaven in Swimsuit with Tall Panties", but with the change of the broadcast time, the masses adapted With the improvement of power and the enhancement of the production team's RP, the animation version of "Gintama" is even worse than the original comic book. The production policy is simply "for fear that the PTA will not protest". Not only did he procrastinate from time to time with money-saving conversations with only background pictures, but also after the news that the "animated version is about to end" caused the fans to be overwhelmed with grief, he (actually) announced without any guilt, "Congratulations! The fourth animated version Year in!"...
——And what can be called one of the witnesses of its evolutionary process is the audience's impression of CV, so step by step from the original naive and simple "(Because the voice is more youthful, it can only be seen in the animation. Sugita, who plays the role of 'the older man beside the teenage protagonist', is finally the protagonist!" "Nigiya is full of swear words this time!" "Ishida's role is still a beauty!" "Four Leaf Clover" sighed "Mikako Takahashi and Sugita don't have CP, but why are they matched with his family's... dog... ah...", evolved to "Sugita is a Tucao king!" "... Ishida is good Great." "Where there is Rie Ningnomiya, there is Satoshi Hino" and even "Bald... Bald Dad Hayami Award... Waste Wood Uncle Fumihiko Tachiki... Suddenly came out and shouted 'Actually I like to shower while [beep-- ]!'' Katsura (Ishida)... The self-destructing image is really endless..." "Forget it, I'm not surprised if anything appears, I'm used to...", and the CVs of the three people in the Master House even more Contributed "After reading some of Kagura's foul lines, Ms. Nguyomi will always glare at the people next to her with 'what to see, what's so good'!" "The supervisor and the script, etc. Apologize to her 'I'm so sorry to make you say this kind of line' yo!" "Miss Kobayashi, who is a super-M ninja little monkey, is watching Gintama with her family at home. What!" Gossip like...
All in all, (what's the matter with this sudden summary?) The animated version of "Gintama", which has been played since April 2006, is an unanimously rated "Gintama" by fans. A rare animated version that is on par with the original manga." Incidentally, the game version of "Gintama" is also different from the common RPG, fighting and other types of adaptation games of other anime works. It takes the strange route of "getting high scores by 'correct' complaints" or "saving the world by changing jobs" .
【It's arrogant! MIX Romance Tan]
Going back to the original work, the story of "Gintama", in addition to the short dramas that end in twenty or even ten minutes, is also linked to several longer stories like beads.
Sometimes, the story revolves around the paranoia of "persistence" and the perseverance that should be held:
For example, in the "Liusheng chapter", Jiubingwei, the young master of the Liusheng family who was raised as a man and lost an eye to protect Amyao when he was a child, took Amyao back to his home and expressed his desire to marry her (you Both are girls!); Dr. Lin in "Furong Arc" made a lot of robots to bring his daughter back to life; in "Dragon Palace Arc", Princess Otohime of Ryugu is afraid of the frozen lover Taro Urashima when he wakes up Seeing her aging self, she is determined to make all the people of the earth older and uglier than herself; in "Ghost Hot Spring", the proprietress of the ghost hotel leaves her deceased relatives in ghosts because of her loneliness. Beside me, I don't want them to become Buddhas... This kind of stubbornness and stubbornness often appears as "to help someone" and "all for someone's good", but it covers up the self-pity that the characters may not even notice. And selfishness -
what Jiubingwei is obsessed with is actually only the friendship with A Miao (and this story is more persistent than the relationship between them... and Jiubingwei's Dongchengbu's lolicon control of his young master Heart?!), and this relationship is not limited by whether she is a man or a woman, and whether she has a "marriage relationship" with A Miao; she wants to revive her daughter, and even tries to create a "only" for fear of her daughter's loneliness again. Dr. Lin of "The Country of Robots" did not realize that the person who was really lonely and was afraid of being so lonely was herself; Ayan, the owner of the Ghost Hotel, who has seen ghosts since childhood and grew up in the company of ghosts, thinks that she is related to ghost employees, ghost family members (including her Ghost husband) together year after year to provide hot spring services for the ghosts who come here for "holiday" is caring for them, but subconsciously ignores the fact that "the bliss of life is the release of ghosts"... And these terrible The dangerous stubborn and stubborn poor people all need Ah Yin to launch a preaching super kill to wake up, or use his wooden knife Toya Lake to give him a good beating.
There are also times when the story is entangled in the old acquaintances, the old people, and the inextricable past events that are so noisy:
In "Xinghaifang Main Chapter", the bald uncle Xinghaifang, the bald uncle of the strongest cosmic monster hunter, appeared in the "Xinghaifang Main". After the public face four-eyed house and the giant dog lived happily together (...and after the last few hairs on his head were accidentally pulled out by Kagura), he left with confidence; Mitsuha's older sister, Mitsuha, loved each other but couldn't get together, and after her death, Hirokata could only stand on the rooftop and eat Mitsuha's favorite spicy senbei while saying, "Damn...it's so hot that I'm in tears. It has flowed out"; at the beginning of "Red Sakura Arc", Gui was plotted and his whereabouts were unknown. Yin Shi, who was entrusted to find the demon sword "Red Sakura", was seriously injured, and Kagura was also captured by the enemy... And the person who planned everything was the Shinsuke Takasugi, the captain of the Ghost Soldiers.
——In "The Unrest Chapter", the severely ill child Kataro Ito ( The name comes from the staff of the new election team Ito Koshitaro and the first director of the new election team Serizawa duck), also instigated by Takasugi, and Takasugi's subordinate Kawamura Wansai (the prototype is the famous executioner Kawamura Yansai at the end of the Tokugawa period - this person It is also the prototype of Hiimura Kenshin); even the smiling, bloodthirsty cosmic pirate group "Spring Rain" 7th Division head who appeared in "Yoshihara Arc", known as "Spring Rain Thunder Gun" "Kagura's brother Kamui (also the renegade son who cut off an arm of the master of Xinghaifang), also knew each other with Takasugi...
If the difference between Kamui and Kagura is "fighting with the blood of the night rabbit" and "fighting with the night" The difference between "Battle of Rabbit Blood", then the difference between Takasugi and Gintoki, can be summed up in the most clichéd but most correct words, which is obviously in "destroy" and "protection".
When they were children studying under Mr. Songyang, they all had the same starting point. But it was from that time that they each looked in different directions. In the past when they fought on the battlefield against foreigners, they used to be bloody, shoulder-to-shoulder, but in the end they had to face failure and compromise.
After that, Sakamoto, who looked the most stupid, realized the true meaning of "the economic base determines the superstructure" and abandoned martial arts to become a businessman. After being taken in by a aunt who lived on the streets of Edo, Ginshi took up a wooden sword and vowed to protect everything around him. Katsura, who was active against foreigners, also told Takasugi in the Red Sakura chapter, "There should be other ways, ways to change this country without sacrifice."
. There is only Takasugi alone, who is more lonely than anyone else, hates everything and tries to destroy the whole world, and regards Gintoki and Katsura, who were once classmates, as enemies - even though the books left by Mr. Songyang are still treasured by him and Katsura. ...and Yinshi half-truthly said that his book had been thrown away—perhaps he was embarrassed to admit that "I'm still as stupid as you guys", or maybe he really threw it away and thought about it.
"Everyone has the same starting point, but unfortunately the distance is getting farther and farther." Takasugi once gritted his teeth so directly: "Why can you live comfortably in this world that took the teacher away from us? I just can't stand this", while the description of Gintoki is indirectly through Katsura: "I wanted to raze this world to the ground countless times, but Yinshi, who should hate this world the most, endured it all, what can we do?" - "Want to protect the little happiness around you" A simple mood really doesn't need to be emphasized again and again with your own mouth.
But what they wanted to protect originally was the same "unchanged" in this ever-changing and chaotic world, but Takasugi's "unchanged" is still with Mr. The change is in the Edo Castle at this moment, beside him.
So at the end of the Red Sakura arc, Gui and Yinshi said to each other the lines "Don't change, it seems like a lot of effort to cut you" and "If you change, I'll be the first to hit you", and then raised them to Takasugi together. When they picked up the knife, their words may also echoed in Takasugi's heart, but the breath was old, the tone was slightly sarcastic, choked in the throat, unable to speak - at the same time, they knew the gap opened by these words, and they broke completely.
After all, they are all moths flapping their wings beside their scorching beliefs.
