By chance, the protagonist of "lucky" is given the power to save the world, and the protection and battle that go hand-in-hand with this are their inescapable tasks... Seeing this setting, when there are countless images of young people in the stories We skimmed through them all in our minds—suffice to say, such settings were pretty much the basis for this kind of story. With great power comes great responsibility. To this end, the protagonist must usually be righteous and brave, and if they are not brave and strong enough, they must also create opportunities for them to grow slowly. This is the pattern we are all used to. And "100% Psionics", which also has two elements of "superpower protagonist" and "villain who has to fight", tells a different story: Does the strong have to fight? Even, when you feel bored, can you choose to escape? First of all, in terms of protagonist shaping, the author seems to be a deliberate deconstruction of superpowers. There is no equality in what everyone is given at birth—the protagonist's younger brother is disdainful of his extraordinary wisdom, appearance and popularity, but he longs for his brother's superpower; wasted" on a middle school student nicknamed "Passerby". As his name suggests, the presence of passers-by is extremely weak. His superpower has reached the point of attention, but he will not make good use of it to make himself a winner in life. This kind of tendency, willing to be "the supporting role of youth". So no matter how he looked at it, he was very ordinary - ordinary and had a vision of youth, just like everyone in his school days. However, the author goes on to say that even if you search all the campuses in the world, you will not be able to find a really ordinary and extremely ordinary middle school student. Everyone has something unique to them that can be called a "feature". This is also the author's view on superpowers - just like "good grades", "running fast", and "humorous speech" that other students have, they are just a simple characteristic of a person. The essence of a person's charm lies in the human touch . No one is superior to the other, no matter how special abilities they possess, the fact that a person is a person will not change in any way. We gradually see that two opposing characteristics are three-dimensional in passers-by - although they have extremely powerful superpowers, their hearts are extremely soft, with innate kindness to all people: kind and weak passers-by, the most The thing you're not good at is confrontation with others. When the opponent holds the heart of a duel, he does not regard the other party as an enemy, and tries to understand the other party's feelings; when his younger brother is in trouble because he is out of control, he is as powerful as a god. He would rather kneel and apologize than conflict with the other party; In confrontation, he was often beaten for not fighting back, because this easy-going guy was in a Extremely stubborn about things - can't use superpowers on people. As the conflict between the two characteristics continues to intensify, the guy who is the least good at confronting others has to make a choice at the last moment. Struggle, blood... The tenderness in his heart was stimulated over and over again by the pictures he didn't want to see on weekdays. "I'm really... I really don't want to hurt anyone. But if I don't do it, I'll be killed, right?" "In order to protect everyone, I can only fight with all my strength." In the pain and struggle, the mental pressure is crazy Gathering, the strong killing intent is visible to the naked eye. "No matter what the opponent becomes..." The passerby finally made up his mind, his face began to twist, and finally there were only two words left on the screen - killing intent. The killing intent was surging, and at the moment of the outbreak, a voice suddenly came: "Stop! This will only make you miserable." The passer-by, who had recovered a little bit of himself, saw the ghost teacher looking at him tenderly: "When you feel bored , it is also possible to run away." "Is it also possible to escape...?" I was also stunned, this was the first time I heard this. The moment the passerby heard that sentence, the story began to develop in an unimaginable direction. The energy of the passerby's expansion and deformation suddenly changed its direction, and all of it was transferred to the master who had no superpowers. In the end, the battle was successfully resolved by the master, and the passers-by managed to escape with a happy mood. I felt a strong illusion, as if a pre-set character in the work suddenly broke free from the author's hand when faced with the choice of fate, forcibly rewriting the "heroic fate" that the protagonist must bear. In the end, it was no longer anyone, not even the author, who led him to the inevitable path, but the most authentic self in his character. As the teenager selected by the story, the passerby did not grow up like other teenage protagonists, became stronger, braver, and became a recognized hero. On the contrary, he kept his cowardice and stubbornness, as well as his friendliness regardless of the object, and continued to maintain his weak sense of existence - but for some reason, I had the feeling that only passers-by "survived". The second season is finally here, passers-by - what will this ordinary junior high school student with a longing for youth look like in the future? I am full of expectations for the protagonist who once escaped from the arrangement of the story and escaped from standardized growth. I often think of that incredible moment again, and I always feel that in that moment, passers-by defeated something more difficult than the boss. Those who live in the story may have faced the moment of "no way to choose". "Do people with strength have to fight?" It was that sense of responsibility that drove passersby to a dead end. When "choice" becomes "force", just remember You are the protagonist of your life, and you may be able to find a way out for your despairing heart. The first thing we need to do is to be whole.
