A generation has a story of a generation. This is the mark of their growth. Once upon a time, we grew up with the characters in the story, and maybe we will grow old together with them, and then silently disappear into the dust of this universe.
When I was in college, I watched "Naruto", Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke, Xiao Li, Sakura, Shikamaru... It seemed like some of my partners in the two-dimensional world, although they lived a completely different life from them, but the This unyielding and aggressive spirit still moves people from time to time. It looks like a dangling group of people, never ambiguous at critical moments, reliable teammates, and will never fall off the chain at any time. For me when I was still a teenager, these are invaluable spirits. There is a period of life that grew up with Naruto and the others. The characters in the anime also face a series of challenges in academics and tasks, and they may also sacrifice their blood and life to protect their hometown Konoha Village. In the whole anime, the happiest time of Naruto and the others should be counted in the first part of ninja school. It's just a trial before entering society.
Naruto and the others fought and grew up against the backdrop of the Ninja World War, where the mountains and the rain are coming, and the dark clouds are pressing down on the city. Finally, through the Ninja World War, the peace of the ninja world was exchanged through bloodshed and sacrifice, while Naruto Uzumaki. With Hinata Hinata, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno... the lovers who grew up together finally become married, and a story ends here. In a sense, it also means the end of youth for the generation that grew up with Naruto.
Until the appearance of Naruto Bo Ren Chuan, like the theme song "walking in the footsteps of the past", the shadow of the Naruto generation that can be seen from Bo Ren and others from time to time, it seems that Naruto and their stories have to start over again. Like, maybe for a newcomer who started an anime journey from Bo Ren Chuan, this is another growth story, but for me, if Uzumaki Naruto is like a partner who grew up together, then Bo Ren gave me It always feels like the naughty nephew of a good brother's family. Of course, it has its moving side, but in the feeling of deja vu, people always miss the youth that was lost with Naruto. In the eyes of bloggers, stories that are extremely important feel like they have become children's games. I always feel that when they face real life, they should be able to grow up - this is still the feeling of the parents.
In contrast, although in the stories of bloggers, the opportunities for the previous generation to appear have become extremely limited, but every time I see a familiar and unfamiliar face, it is always like meeting a long-lost old friend. generally. We in the real world, after more than 20 years, are not changing like this? Married or not yet married, having children or not having children yet, the years have left a similar taste on us. The whole world has become very different in the past few decades, transportation, communication, and the Internet have improved many times, and we, even if we are not as successful as Uzumaki Naruto, become the character we once dreamed of, but we are just like him. When entering middle age, they are exhausted from trivial matters such as work, family, parent-child, and education. We don't have enough energy to give our children more company, so we selfishly hope that they can grow up a little slower, but the children are always getting bigger day by day, just like unconsciously, our time has also passed So many years have passed.
BoJack Horseman said there will be no happy ending because the series will continue. In the stories of Bo Ren Chuan, there will still be new bloodshed and sacrifices, and these sacrifices are unavoidable to protect what is truly important. But I think, no matter which direction life will lead, to have a night like this, snuggling up with your lover and watching the sleeping child grow up quietly, at this moment, nothing else matters.
