It should not be too much to say that Wuhuan is the protagonist. The word chaos is the most perfect embodiment in Wuhuan. Well, of course Renhefeng is not a supporting role either. Ren is like his name, implements benevolence and righteousness, insists on his own Bushido, and refuses to deviate from it. As for Feng, the heroine who can't remember her name at first and survived episode after episode by being kidnapped. Also, as a woman, I express my deep jealousy.
A disheveled afro, growing up by the sea, not washed blue by the sea, but tanned by the sun, eyebrows that seem to have been cut in two by a sharp weapon, boring for many years, sometimes sharp, occasionally lustful small eyes, looming A rough beard, a small mouth that is "cut", a wide red short-sleeved cardigan top with a white sleeveless bottoming shirt, a pair of scruffy-looking earth brown shorts, "click-click" Clogs, never changed. Find a beautiful woman to say a few words and let him turn around slowly, and you can see the thin scabbard behind him. In the end of the Edo era, the warriors were already at the end of the road, so the old man did not carry a samurai sword, but a style Unique sword. Of course, don't think that he is a powerful swordsman just because he is carrying a sword and is dubbed by Uncle Zai. The little dagger hidden under the sword sack that could be used at any time is not acceptable. And my favorite little details, one is the earrings on his ears that see Watanabe's mood sometimes and sometimes not, and the other is the light blue ring tattoo (?) on the ends of his slender and thin limbs.
He was so handsome in the first episode. Unexpectedly, there was not even a warning when he came up. With a light pick with his sword, one arm of the little scoundrel would return to the west. Although I was frightened by the "black man" in Conan who always covered the high-end extended version of black stockings from head to toe and only exposed two eyes since he was a child, it is reasonable to say that he is used to bleeding off people. But when I see this, my heart is: Wuhuan, do you want to do this, the action is so smooth, it's so cool that you don't have friends, okay? What do you do if you make me think that killing is not breaking the law! Watanabe, you compensate me for the correct three views! ! (Ahem, back to the topic.)
Although the phantom-free murder technique turned more tricks than flower ropes, and his movements were as light as the ancestors of human beings, it did not help him escape the prison and the temptation of women. Whether to be caught or to be caught, and to be beaten, he doesn't cut corners at all. The only aura of being the protagonist is that even if he is beaten indiscriminately, the next frame will automatically change back to the original picture of serious style when he is handsome. Every time she sees a woman, she has something to do with him, either drug or stealing money, or she is a thug who doesn't want money, and she almost explained it to her childhood sweetheart's little sister's plan, and finally she finally found a sincere one. , but gave him the money to buy Nagasaki cake, and in the end they went their separate ways at the fork in the road. Wuhuan's luck in the whole play was probably given to the unicorn duel competition, but it was of no use. The money won in the end was not taken by the "ghostly" teammates to buy women. Well, Amitabha. Therefore, in the first 25 episodes, he provided us with various slots and joys. No, here are the two episodes of Walking in the Dark.
Wuhuan is just a rogue little ruffian. Of course, he is the kind of "rogue" who is a little persistent, a little principled, a little handsome, and very manly. Can be very gentleman, very pure man's purebred nympho. It is precisely because Wuhuan can give us an intuition of "I was never a good man" anytime, anywhere. When he truly shows the manly demeanor and the kind of persistence that a man should have, we will decide that this man is never a good man. A man who admits is a real man.
It's no wonder that Xiaofeng said that night, "It's all to blame Wuhuan." Such a man is not something ordinary people dare to fall in love with, nor can ordinary people control. Feng knows that he is not the Wuhuan person.
When dealing with Shenglong, we knew that Wuhuan was definitely the one who would ask "what is morality, is it delicious?" such a "standard" question. In his life, there can only be two situations, either win or die happily. If you can win by any means, just win, and when life or death is inexorable, give yourself a happy one, and don't allow those "bugs and cockroaches" to get a point. Although Wuhuan's straight-mindedness makes our audience very happy, but the director prefers to play with his temperament. When the audience is in a good mood, he suddenly switches the narrative style and pushes the audience forward for a while in the 13th and 14th episodes. In the dark night road, even an emergency flashlight was not given.
So, in that Ryukyu folk song, Watanabe told me a different version of the story.
I'm a big believer that there must be a law of the story hidden in a person who can live out his own state. Watanabe didn't disappoint me either. Nor can he let us down.
It's just that all this is too defenseless.
Suddenly, old lady Asazaki's voice with the dazzling salty smell of sea water rang out, just like the sound of the sea itself that fell without illusion, swaying and swallowing her thoughts, although she couldn't understand it at all. Lyrics, but those pictures are enough for me to close my mouth and enjoy it quietly, and I feel heartbroken.
Wuhuan is not a tough guy who is not afraid of death. On the contrary, he is afraid of death, so he will do whatever it takes to win. And this fear of death is the root of what makes people human. Many works have emphasized such a phenomenon, the revolving light before death. Make your own life into a movie from a first-class director, show it to only one audience for yourself, and then whether you still want to write an afterthought, a group of tough death will drag you to Hell. .
The bones eaten by the crows, the death god closely followed, the corpses covered in blood, and the despair of falling to the ground in the setting sun in the jungle. Through his blurred vision, we see the end of a world where the strong eat the weak. Wuhuan understands the insignificance of human beings, but does not want to succumb to the fragility of human beings. When he stretched out his limbs on the water, what he thought was not the misery of this life, but the idea of survival "I haven't had enough of my mother's life".
Live, even if you have nothing.
Live and win to the end.
What is Chaos?
Mixing good and bad, regardless of black and white, all kinds of colors are smeared and smeared at will, on a good canvas, there are assorted patterns jumping, but unexpectedly matched. There is no bounds, and you can come as you want. The key is to have willful capital. This kind of no illusion makes people feel more happy when they see it.

Watanabe, cool to minus two hundred degrees, Shinichiro,
the name I saw from elsewhere, cleverly used exaggeration, synaesthesia, quasi-objects and other techniques to vividly portray the image of Watanabe as a genius .
And Watanabe's cool is "chaos" in this anime. You can't tell what's good or bad about them, but you just think they have the taste you like.
None of them are perfect, but we can't put it down. Maybe it's because we sometimes don't understand this kind of stuff. Easier to get emotional. To clearly distinguish everything, to tear apart the good and the bad, and to separate the far away, such a character, how to stand up, who does not have a small place where black and white are not divided, and it is such a place that makes us real. Watanabe threw these three people into this anime completely, and let them see how to live for themselves. It seems that they are wild and stocked, but they actually have good intentions. each of their stories. No one can tell right or wrong. Killing and stealing goods, beating, smashing, looting and burning, you go to your brothel and I ask me to ask my lover, you rob me to work, you smoke marijuana happily, my waist is not very good.
Samurai is a samurai, and Champloo is チャンプル, which is an Okinawan dish that stirs vegetables and tofu together. It also means mixing together in the Okinawan dialect. But I don't know where the genius was, and the title was translated into "Chaos Warriors".
The word "chaos" is used so well, it is this kind of inexplicable feeling that is worthy of this genius work.
[Music]
When it comes to Watanabe, what I have to say besides the story itself is music. If he stopped being a director that day and went to the music circle, it would be enough for him to eat and drink.
Watanabe's works are not many, but they are all legends. Not to mention Cowboy Bebop, in the current anime, who would dare to use a piece of pure jazz music as the opening song, and the last trumpet solo exploded?
When it comes to music, it's useless to talk, but to listen to it.
To tell the truth, a good soundtrack really adds a lot to the work. Some things, which cannot be expressed through images, must vibrate through the eardrum and reach the heart. And more commented that "Chaos Warrior" is a 26-episode super-long version of the MV (here is a compliment). From the jazz hip-hop rap at the beginning, to the melodious single with a free and unrestrained female voice at the end, every soundtrack, every episode, and even the small transition in the middle, have to be shaken and forced, where is the heavy feeling of the samurai era , is simply a casual carnival party!
【figure】
Watanabe is a veteran storyteller. Bold and unrestrained, there is a lower limit to unscrupulous. The setting of the character is also a slanted sword.
As a samurai-themed anime, a pair of equal opponents is essential throughout the play.
Wuhuan, who had been shouting for a showdown with Ren from the first episode, kicked the cooking pot when he realized that his opponent was being shattered by others. I jumped so hard that I went back and watched it so many times. . . . By the end, I felt like I was trying to find something to make a big move to express the anger in my heart that was drawn by him.
It is this anger that makes us sure that these two must have been entangled.
Watanabe's portrayal of characters need not be said, nor do they need to be described in large pages, and they are not even borrowed from others. For the portrayal of Wuhuan's character, the deepest impression is his two very human ways of eating. If you eat crabs without removing the shells, you will eat four or five bites of a hard-shelled crab; if you eat grilled fish, without removing the thorns, you will eat another four or five bites, and a broken belly will be eaten. After watching such a plot, what kind of person is this person, and who else is talking nonsense?
For Ren, a disobedient figure who wore an orthodox samurai uniform and flat glasses, Watanabe specially arranged a difficult beauty test for him. He passed the test smoothly, with the voice-over of "I am not a heroine who is not close to women, I also like someone sometimes, and, for her happiness, I can sacrifice myself." Interpretation and sublimation.
There is no righteous gentleman, there are people who have principles and obey them. In Ren, his principles may be different from ordinary people, and they are somewhat contradictory, but he has always followed them well and never violated them.
For the character of Feng, it is better to say that she is the hand that thread the story rather than the heroine. In line with the principle of "you can't let two bachelors do the foundation", Feng was born alive and kicking. Not pretentious or pretentious, not only dare to go to the house to reveal the tiles and set off fireworks, but also dare to eat and drink to become fat girls, the most important thing is to lose weight in 20 minutes in the same episode. The characters in Watanabe's stories are embarrassed to appear without any special skills. She is not the delicate girl who just complains about the lack of conscience of men when they run away, nor is she a dull girl who walks with two good men but is not at all tempted, she just balances the weight of the whole story The code neutralizes Wuhuan's irritability and Ren's boredom. Jumping and jumping, Wuhuan in the left hand and Ren in the right, the three of them love each other and walk through this period of chaos and burst into a wonderful journey.
Maybe the wind is what Watanabe used to bring us into himself?
Let's follow the eyes of the wind and watch how the two chaotic warriors, Wugen and Jin, play in the Edo period.
