Tianyuan Breakthrough is a 27-episode large-scale metaphor. The spiral force that runs through it is the unyielding drill that breaks through the ground, the rules, and the sky. It is the DNA full of infinite possibilities, it is sex, it is evolution, and it is also humanity itself.
The 27 episodes are divided into two parts. The first half drills through the ground and recaptures the living space of human beings from the hands of the orcs. All the Spirals longing for tomorrow. The scale of the plot has changed from the personal struggle of the unknown juniors to the hand-in-hand of small groups, and then quickly evolved into a revolutionary battle of the rebels, and then after the plot climax that seemed to come to an end, it unfolded in one fell swoop to face all human beings (including Orcs) Cosmic War of Destruction Crisis. In the early stage, Kamina and later Simon occupied the first and second thrones of the golden sentence maker respectively.
Although the story is simple and rude, and to put it bluntly, it is the universe, and all the unfreedom and shackles, but this seemingly rough and illogical plot contains exquisite and complex depictions of human groups. In addition to the arbitrary battle setting, we can actually see many details: Lu Xiu's people survive in embarrassment under the religious illusion created by priests, and after growing up Lu Xiu is also deeply indulged in the political style of manipulating public opinion and mysticism ;The Spiral King transformed from the strongest spiral warrior to the most violent dictator, and finally returned to the side of the spiral warrior to fight side by side with Simon; the grassy marshals of the Dahonglian regiment who conquered the world changed from revolutionaries to rulers. Simon is still a bit at a loss after entering the peaceful age for six years; Simon's love object changed from Yuko to Nia, and Yuko also fell in love with Kamina at first sight to slowly accepting Ketang's heart. Every character in the story grows and changes in the plot, and the screenwriter intentionally makes this process more real and more uncertain, and will never easily satisfy the audience's psychological cleanliness, and never let any character become a saint who is out of the world. Although the creators hold the value-judgment sword of Shangfang, they are very careful not to let the sword fall on either side. Human nature is complex, and it is often difficult to determine what is right or wrong in the world. Everyone has the right and freedom to be stubborn and change their minds, but the only thing that must be firmly opposed is the power that deprives them of diversity and freedom, and everyone’s Limit yourself.
It can be said that Tianyuan Breakthrough is a huge human ode. The desire of mankind, the vitality of the human race has received supreme glory in this episode. After about 20 episodes before, what came to the fore at the final climax was actually an extremely optimistic and extremely violent human-centered thinking. The spiral force is a metaphor for evolution, and the plot also makes it clear that the human form is the strongest embodiment of the spiral force, which is equivalent to saying that human beings are standing at the apex of evolution. The interpretation of the spiral force in the animation is continuous development and expansion, which is completely consistent with the development process of human forces in reality. Lu Xiu is walking on thin ice to monitor the population growth, but Simon chooses to let the disaster show its fangs before confronting it head-on; and for the demise at the end of the spiral force, Simon's answer is "Who do you think we are, we will never let it happen". I believe that if environmentalists see this plot, they will have a headache. Tianyuan Breakthrough preaches and extols this unbridled expansion, and optimistically believes that human beings can use their creativity to solve all problems head-on.
I personally like this idea very much. Not because I'm as confident and extremely optimistic as Simon, but because I'm convinced that the human population cannot survive forever. The lifespan sometimes ends, the sun has its lifespan, the environment suitable for human habitation has its lifespan, the universe may also have its lifespan, and the human population is likely to face the end of time. However, just like every human individual is born to death, the human population does not necessarily have the ultimate goal of survival. It is hard to say what is the meaning of a journey that is bound to end, but it is even more obvious that it is meaningless to stop moving forward because the curtain is about to end, no longer explore, no longer create. I believe that the animators who created this animation are not really as optimistic as Simon, but they want to make such a voice that Achilles can still step in with their heads held high in the face of fate.
But this animation may not be a good medicine for every viewer's life. Although many people watched with enthusiasm, I also believe that when many viewers returned to life full of chicken blood, they were discouraged within three seconds of facing a chicken feather in the ground, and turned back to their bleak and inaction. For everyone who is trapped in the real dilemma and the depressed person, the breakthrough of Tianyuan based on the momentum and slogan is equivalent to a brutal flogging. To see the clues to the solution from the mess of life's predicament, what is often needed is the tenacity and long and struggling thinking, but not always high emotions; for the audience with depression tendencies, It is even more difficult to ignite such a high enthusiasm physically. A good story needs to arouse the empathy of the audience, and when the audience fails to empathize continuously, they will either feel outside the plot and watch the fire from a distance, or they will experience self-examination, condemning themselves for not being able to. Resonate with positive characters.
In addition, Tianyuan's breakthrough also implies the deep-rooted thought of "lowering the upper". The protagonist is always faced with overwhelming formidable enemies, and always breaks through powerful barriers with seemingly meager strength. This is the fundamental reason why the audience can be ignited. After all, setting up enemies is the easiest way to provoke fighting emotions. But in real life, the enemy may not exist, and the barrier may not be able to break through. Individuals need to face not battles, but aimless self-seeking. Of course, the audience can abstract this dazedness into an enemy, and then project a passionate confrontation on it, but this way of thinking has its flaws: defeating the enemy is a clear goal, but the pursuit is unclear. We may need more flexibility, compromise, and let nature take its course in order to reach reconciliation with the self.
Tianyuan Breakthrough is an excellent animation, with its self-consistent expression of opinions, sophisticated plot design and character characterization, but at its core, its core should be regarded as an ode to the spirit of human freedom, rather than a guide to life.
