The so-called man's romance

It's really burning, but the most important thing I can't forget is not burning. "A drill is a man's romance" is a really good saying! What I feel most about Tian Yuan is that he made me feel the romance of オトコ, the kind of fantasy that only belongs to men. I also want to have a big brother who is always standing and can give me a punch at any time, or a pillar, but I also want to be independent, I also want to have a career by myself, have my own younger brother, have my own Unique love, there are people who can support me in my journey, there are brothers who can trust me infinitely, and there is a chance to stand out and break all obstacles and become famous in history.

All of these, Tian Yuan satisfied me. Just because I can't have all of these things, and it's almost impossible to say that there are many contradictions in these things, Tianyuan is so important and so difficult to give up, even though it's just an anime.

Say a few specific points.

Luo Xiu gave up so many things for his righteousness, and even arrested his brother who had given him a wider world regardless of his love. I'm so upset to see this, I'd love to punch him, but Simon never really hated him, even if he didn't understand. This is the man! This is the man I think! It's because I'm not such a person that I can't do these things, that's why I feel so emotional.

There is also the ending of Simon's departure. I saw a comment before that if you just want to watch Ran, don't watch the final ending, I agree with this statement very much. He also said that the latter part of the ending shows the hero's twilight, which I don't fully agree with. It's true that Simon is getting old and Yoko is getting old, and both of them are still alone. It seems that it is indeed a hero's twilight, but it is not quite. Simon launched the final challenge to the anti-spiral in order to find his lover, but lost his lover in pursuit of freedom. I doubt whether I can do this, and my heart is full of admiration for Simon. What makes people speechless is his departure, and his resolute back fills my heart with complexity. Other than that, it's really cool! Ever since I was a child, I have fantasized about one day becoming famous and then turning around and leaving, leaving only a resolute back, but if I reach such a moment, can I really give up? It should be said that with such an ending, it is complete. Just like a man, burning is the most important aspect of オトコ, but a complete オトコ is not only burning!
