The restraint and balance of power in the battle of conjuration

Beforehand, this article contains a small amount of anime spoilers and a small amount of comic spoilers that have been updated to episode 19 so far.


Originally, I watched the spell purely to pass the time, but it turned out to be more than expected. The rhythm of the back-to-curse plot is relatively lively. In this plot, the water has been poured into the vast ocean of passionate migrant workers (don't ask me which cues), which is very valuable. I hope the production team can keep it up, I would rather Don't stop and don't wrap your feet, which is smelly and long.


The most interesting part of the spell return battle is the more rigorous setting. At first glance, it is the original author's mouth to find a bug, and people's faces are confused, but in their world view, they can be self-contained, and can even promote the plot and the story. Build characters. Moreover, the various settings about the power and curse are full of yin and yang reconciliation and the way of unity of opposites, which is obviously carefully designed by the author.

To give one of the most obvious examples, the second-year spell master Goujie can only speak rice balls with a very small vocabulary on weekdays. The huge power of the mantra is not immune to stunt spells. Conversely, the huge power of the mantra itself will also increase the burden on the body. If the curse is too deep on the enemy, it may rebound and cause him to suffer. Maki, a classmate from Zenyuan, said that Goumaki has suffered since childhood because of his special strength, and was bullied and excluded, but at the same time, in the main plot, mantras have repeatedly saved the lives of his companions. There is no novel operation in the incantation technique itself, it is just talking. It can be seen that language can save people, and it can also hurt people, and it can help itself, and it can also hurt the body. Language itself has power.

run away

Examples of the power of language in stories abound. After Su Nuo's heart was poached by the two sides Su Nuo suicide, he wanted to take away Su Nuo's fingers with death for a hundred, but Su Nuo didn't want to be taken away by Hu Zi because he saw "interesting" things, and was even willing to make concessions and vowed to resurrect. Later, on the condition of not killing people, he established a contract with Hu Zi to set a bond. He also pointed out that if he broke the contract, he would also be retaliated against. The result was rejected by Huzi, and in the end, he could only unconditionally use the reversal technique to be resurrected together. It can be seen that the king who is as strong as the curse cannot break through the restrictions of the contract and bondage. Language is the carrier of the contract. Once the contract is reached, neither party can break the contract. And according to the later plot, we know that the contract and bondage must be voluntary and cannot be completed through coercion.

In many anime, when the pros and cons are fighting (。・∀・)ノ゙, they suddenly pose and start explaining their abilities (Ninjutsu, Swastika, Returning Blade, Noble Phantasm, Devil Fruit ability, blah blah blah blah blah) One is counted as one, this has become a common problem for thousands of years, it is really embarrassing to watch, and the second is very incomparable, in addition to making the characters pretend to be aggressive It can only be interpreted forcefully to help the audience understand the setting. However, this kind of plot often becomes the first evil of disrupting the rhythm of the story and slowing down the progress of the plot. A lot of lingering habits are hard to change, so that the audience finally dulls their senses and becomes accustomed to it. This kind of behavior is handled ingeniously in the return of the spell: speaking the effect of the spell itself will strengthen the effect of the spell, and if it is incorporated into the world view itself again, it is equivalent to a subconscious spell. But saying the effect of the spell will also have disadvantages, that is, leaking your own information, causing the other party to formulate targeted countermeasures. Therefore, the briar will mind the panda's easy to reveal the dog roll's spell. The so-called "being in the same dust as the light", showing a sharp edge, whether it is said or not, there are advantages and disadvantages. Press the gourd and it will float. Only imperfection is eternal, and everything is a dynamic balance.


Since I mentioned Zenyuan Maki, how could I not talk about her? He has the bloodline of Yu Sanjia, but the level of curse power is extremely low, and he can't even see the curse. But at the same time, because of this "heaven and curse", her physical ability is different from ordinary people, and the use of curse tools is even easier. This is the standard case of "the world closes a door for you and opens a window for you". A more extreme example is Huihui's father, who will appear later, who is also of Yusan's bloodline, but has no magic power.


There are too many examples of restraint and balance in Spell Returns. For example, a "tent" that can be created with less magic power. Using less magic power can achieve a certain effect, but it must be at the expense of other binding conditions. For example, a magician can see, but ordinary people can't, but they can go in and out freely; another example is a tent that can enter but cannot exit, or a tent that has the opposite effect. There is also a kind of account that appeared in the recent animation plot that even the God-defying Wujou can't break through. If you understand the worldview of the magic and return to the battle, the audience can guess by themselves that this is a kind of special attack against him without the explanation of Wujou. The "wind can enter the rain can enter, but you can't enter the 5T5" account, so as to achieve a balance of power. Seeing it, is there a feeling that 5T5 can only beat himself if he wants to break through?


The top and top masters in the back-to-back spells are a group of people who squeeze one end of the balance to the extreme, thereby greatly releasing the power of the other end of the balance. 5T5's Unlimited Technique, boundless space, just listening to the name brings the limit, and there is a kind of Buddhist flavor. Father Hui's spell power is zero. It can be understood that this kind of restraint is exchanged for almost infinite physical strength, and the strength of one's own body can smash and crush a number of superclasses.

We can even make some reasonable inferences through the existing worldview in the battle of magic: unless the world really turns into a purgatory full of hatred, sorrow and disaster as the magic magician wishes, humans and magicians will always be prevail. After all, in modern society, no matter how much human beings like to deceive, deceive and curse others, peaceful development and stability are the mainstream of the world process after all. Perhaps it is because of the advent of 5T5, a heaven-defying existence, that various super-class spell spirits emerge in an endless stream in the world, or on the contrary, because of the appearance of super-class spell spirits, 5T5 was born. It's a chicken-and-egg question, and the answer is unclear and unimportant. But one thing is certain, as long as there are still people and curses in this world, be it a magician or a curse spirit, it will continue to exist, one and the other will continue to grow.

    I don't know if it's because I blow too much, and I expect the value to be too high, which makes it feel very general? Ennnn's more routine plot and character design or a more conventional hot-blooded trend, it's the kind of thing you're obviously watching a new work However, there is a familiar feeling all the time, which is more similar to the feeling that a certain Ying gave me at first, which is not very pleasant. At first I thought maybe it was because I was not as easily moved as I was when I was a child, but after watching the first episode of Giants 4, it was really a problem with the work, I was still OK

    Or not. Another disappointment after Ghost Extermination. The creator must write his own structure, and he must strictly scrutinize the combat power system, the values ​​of the protagonist, and the values ​​of the work. To put it bluntly, it must be his own. Can't be seen by me as a fan of high self-esteem. To be more specific, the protagonist's belief is to "save people", and he himself is a dangerous existence that may harm people, then the work should be developed around this pair of contradictions, how does he use his strength for the right path, it is very simple things, do not create what the author is playing.
