Light and shadow flicker, familiar faces, familiar voices, and familiar stories. All of this made me seem to have returned to the time when I didn't need to think about anything, just wanted to be naughty and crazy and grow taller.
There is no such good time after our generation. At that time, the 18 o'clock file of the TV screen was always imported from foreign cartoons. Those cartoons that were the most well-made in those days were our children in the poor land. their only spiritual food. Many cartoons that seem to have violent crime scenes now, in retrospect, are just early education before entering society.
When I was a child, those who played outside didn't want to go home, but as long as my mother shouted "Saint Seiya has begun!" to the children playing in the open space upstairs, all the children would be the fastest in one minute. run to his house at a speed. Every episode can't be missed, even including the Japanese theme song that I don't understand at all.
By the early 1990s, conspiracy theorists who appeared out of nowhere tried to open up the lingering domestic animation market, accusing imported animations of cultural aggression against the younger generation. The introduction and broadcasting of Japanese animations is prohibited. So starting from our generation, the people behind them no longer have such an invincible and glorious era of cartoons. They can only watch those inferior domestic animations with poor painting style, immature techniques and shallow stories, until the monster Pleasant Goat appeared. .
The logic of the Saint Seiya is to cultivate himself, break out a small universe, protect Athena, who represents the love of mankind, protect the earth he loves, fight against the sky, the earth, and the gods, even if he sacrifices his own life. Full of enlightenment from realism and cosmology. Although most of its lines are shouting various moves, dazzling and flashy boxing techniques and holy clothes, there are still many touching plots.
When I was young, my eyeballs were mostly covered by the glittering holy clothes of the saints, and I looked forward to how wonderful it would be if I could also have such a golden holy garment. The addition of the holy clothes means that the combat power value has soared several times, which means that you can try to do things that you can't do normally. Especially the holy garment that was resurrected by the blood of the goddess Athena.
At the end of get out of class, if no one in the classroom is shouting "Small Cosmos", "Pegasus Meteor Boxing", "Lushan Rising Dragon Ba", "Fengyi Tianxiang", it must have just finished the test, and the little friends are being tested by this guy Tormented half-dead.
Everyone usually sits around and says that they like Seiya, Zilong, Glacier, Ikki, and Ah Shun. It seems that each group of children can't help but like different protagonists. And everyone will tacitly have a common goddess Athena.
After many years, re-watching this cartoon can rekindle my fighting spirit. It is neither holy clothes nor various boxing techniques, but a kind of holy warrior spirit called "small universe".
I have never expressed too much interest in Seiya, but I feel that Seiya belongs to the guy with the strongest conviction. His only characteristic is that he is very persistent. Persisting in belief in Athena, insisting on fighting until the last moment and not giving up, although these characteristics have made him an absolute protagonist, I still feel that I cannot like such a protagonist. My favorite is precisely the phoenix Ikki, who is not afraid of both the good and the evil.
Ikki is not afraid of God and is not bound by anyone. He just acts with his own sense of justice. Maybe he does something wrong, but who can say that those things are not the right choice for him? Knowing what's right and what's wrong, living in the sanctuary for a lifetime, and only others follow suit, this is not the Saint Seiya in my mind.
Explode your own blood and small universe, believe in yourself, in your team and friends, in love and eternal justice, be strong and optimistic. Always protect the people you love, not afraid of death, not afraid of challenges, not afraid of setbacks, not afraid of the unknown road that you have never traveled, and do the impossible.
This is the spirit of the Saint Seiya.
As we grow up, we want to become stronger. In addition to growing our body, we study and hope to gain strength from it. The spirit of the Saint Seiya has never been far away. Believe that pain and suffering are for the ultimate victory.
But in such a cruel and colorful world, there will be many people who will make you give up your hard work and live a relatively comfortable and simple life. Forgot your ideals?
When I rewatched this film, there was a voice in my head that was screaming, I can't lose, I can't lose! Stand up, stand up! The blood that was buried by me all these years boiled up when they shouted.
Burn it, little universe! There is not much left of youth, only the rest is fully burned.
