Recently I have re-added the HXH Ant article, and read a lot of comments, and found that there is one thing that people rarely mention. So I really want to talk about the king of ants and wheat on the two pawns in ED.
The representative of the ant king is Heizi-'handsome', which symbolizes the leader of the villain; while Mai is Baizi-'forbearance', the English translation is spy, which is the "spy" of the human camp.
What's interesting is that Wheat didn't intend to be a spy, but in a sense, she succeeded in making the enemy commander complete the conversion from black to white, allowing the king to abandon the identity of the ant and eventually became Meliam.
As a national military player who only focuses on improving her chess skills, she may have very limited knowledge about matters outside of the game. Coupled with blindness, poor appearance, and low force level, it is estimated that no one will tell her more detailed information about the ant king. This can be verified in the animation. Before the dragon star group fell, Mai once secretly imagined the appearance of the commander, and what she conceived was the image of a majestic middle-aged normal person wearing a kimono.
It is precisely because of her outstanding chess skills that she was brought to the front of Ant King and was responsible for "passing the time" with the king. But as she easily defeated Wang in military rituals time and time again, the meaning of her existence gradually deviated from Wang's original vision: she was no longer a weak, stupid human being who could be discarded and executed at any time. In the battle on the level of military rites, she was unmatched. The initial game with the ant king was like a family play, letting the ant king realize that the power is not limited to strength, but can also be other aspects.
I have to commend Teacher Fujian for his careful conception of the character of Mai: It is precisely because of her blindness that she cannot detect that the king of ants is not a human, so she will not fear the image of the king; it is precisely because the nose is always blocked. , Her breath changes, the king of ants is also difficult to judge, so there is no way to interfere.
Although the audience was full of slots for this blind girl who was very raunchy when she first appeared on the stage, Teacher Fu Jian still compensated by giving Mai a very cute character and a pair of beautiful eyes.
It was these eyes that won Wang's attention when the two of them first opened the game. Wang Wei wondered why such an unbearable person would have such a pair of eyes, and why the wheat after opening his eyes would exude a completely different aura. These things made Wang's thinking range from the original focus on how to become stronger (strength/chess art) and how to conquer the world, he also explored the outside world a little bit, and it also made him start thinking about the "why" and so on. Question.
And what can directly distinguish humans from ants? Then it depends on whether this creature can still pay attention to things other than survival instinct. Thinking ability is just a kind of survival instinct.
who am I? Where am i from Where am I going again? The seemingly simple question actually contains very complicated philosophical thinking. To answer any of them, the respondent needs to have a certain understanding of himself and the world, and the answer reflects a series of personal values. To have these, you need to live for a long time in this world as an individual, to learn, to communicate, and to think.
Where is the king? He is just an ant king who was born a few days ago. The knowledge he learned came either from the same guards as the chimeric ants, or from cold books. The humans he first came into contact with were nothing more than food in his eyes, with only two concepts of stomachache and deliciousness. Later, in order to pass the time, the option to relieve boredom was added at most. The humans in his eyes have always been weak, ugly, with their own desires.
So when he discovered that Wheat possessed such a momentum, Wang was a little surprised. As the chess game went on again and again, surprise turned into curiosity. And the super-high chess skills displayed by Mai has made Wang feel a lot of feelings for Mai that he doesn't understand.
The first thing that appears is probably respect. It is precisely because of the crushing strength that wheat showed in military rituals, coupled with the approachable temperament of wheat, Wang gradually got the idea to ask wheat for advice. This is undoubtedly the beginning of his communication with a real person. .
Wang is already a strong man who is difficult to match in terms of force, and the strong tend to appreciate each other. Perhaps Wang himself hadn't noticed it, but Mai Mai, a strong military man, has undoubtedly gradually won his appreciation and attention. He will stop playing chess because of Mai showing fatigue, and let Mai go to rest. He will also listen to the story of something he wasn't very interested in because of Kokoriko's cracking.
Finally, his curiosity about Mai himself has exceeded a limit, and finally he asked the blind woman's name.
After he got the answer, he never expected that Wheat would ask his name back. The animation is very subtle, but Mai in the comics has red cheeks at this time. This scene clearly shows Mai's shy and happy mood. Coupled with the Valentine's Day easter eggs at the end of the 116 episode of the animation, it can be roughly judged that Mai has fallen in love with the commander-in-chief.
Wheat didn't know what kind of turbulent waves would be set off in Wang's heart with such a simple question.
Later, the king went to his guard. He was eager to know what his name was, but he was disappointed. Except for his mother, no guard knew his name. Although the attitudes of the three guards are different, the fact that there is no name may have hit the king more or less.
In episode 108, the entanglement and brutality that the king showed in front of the guards, and the inner monologue that the king wanted to kill the wheat on the way to the house of wheat, is probably due to the kind of embarrassment that can't answer his own name. . At this time, the queen ant is dead, and the possibility of him learning his real name is very slim. The anxiety of not getting his real name at a high probability made him think of a shortcut: kill wheat to obey his biological instinct. This implies that he wants to give up human thinking ability and become the king of ants completely.
And the moment he opened the door, the blind woman who was being attacked by the eagle defeated his hard-fought defense line, and at the same time a word of'insincere' came out of his mouth. Mingming just decided to kill her right away, but instead he executed the eagle that harmed wheat immediately; Mingming just told himself that wheat had no value in existence, but he said that wheat was his important guest, and was annoyed why wheat didn’t tell him. Call for help.
The weakness displayed by the wheat completely aroused the Wang's desire to protect. He found that he could no longer kill Wheat, which made him feel a little at a loss. At this time, he has gradually understood to cherish, appreciate, respect and protect the weak. It's just that no one has ever taught him how to get along with cherished creatures, let alone the feeling of'liking'.
It was the existence of wheat that made Wang gradually willing to think, and gradually broke away from the identity of the king of ants, and gradually moved towards the human "master commander" in wheat's heart. The human feelings of compassion and kindness gradually began to take root under the inspiration of wheat.
The various mistakes of the invasion of the war caused wheat to be seriously injured. The dying wheat set off a whirlpool of black energy in Wang's heart, leaving him struggling for a long time on the edge of losing control.
Perhaps it was the heartbeat of wheat that saved the precarious humanity in Wang's heart, and gave it great energy, allowing it to grow rapidly, which eventually led to the peace talks initiated by Chairman Wang Xiang. At that time, the king had given up on the cruel conquest of the world as the ant king. The establishment of a special zone for humans may seem ridiculous and arrogant in our opinion, but that may have been the most peaceful way he can think of in a period of time. Perhaps it was the discovery of his transformation that the president finally told his name in a mocking way: Melu Aim.
The president said that he didn't understand human malice at all. The newly-born Meluam seriously underestimated the survival history of mankind for millions of years.
The rose of the poor finally bloomed.
Even though he survived, the huge impact made him lose his memory. The struggle between humanity and animality in his heart continued again. Perhaps it was the ridicule that the president had made to both of them before detonating Qiangwei, cruelly stripping away the same and even more cruel rules of survival in human society, and the animality in his heart now dominates.
But so what? In front of Qiangwei, no matter how powerful a creature is, there is no room for survival.
Pufu’s concealment, Ubi’s death, Peter’s lack of information, these gradually strengthened the animality in Meluam’s heart. Just before he decided to completely embrace the instinct of the beast, the words of Wolfen the Werewolf , Let him retrieve his memory.
He thought of his most important thing before—wheat, and he also thought of what he had decided to be—people.
The king who wanted to understand thoroughly turned into Meliam.
He found Pum and learned of the hiding place of wheat in a non-violent way. He wants to spend the last moments of his life playing chess with Wheat.
Maybe Meliam considered concealing that he had been poisoned and was about to die, and that the poison would also infect these facts, but when he looked at the wheat that was crying with joy in front of him, he couldn't hide these words anymore.
The concealment indicated that Wang had struggled in his heart. The reason was that Meluam was worried that Mai would refuse to spend the last time with him. But he also worried that Wheat would die because of his selfish plea. Although this may be wonderful, he can't do it. He chooses to confess everything.
Hearing that "poisons can be contagious", the TV version of Mai happily raised her mouth. She said that she would always be accompanied by Lord Meliam.
No matter dead or alive, we'll never part.
Whether we are alive or dead, we will never be separated.
When Melu Aim was suspected of being blind, he asked, like a child, whether Mai was still there, maybe because he was afraid that she would die before himself.
Later, when he asked Mai to hold his hand, he must have mastered himself without a teacher, and he realized what great love is. In addition to protecting, admiring, and cherishing, he desperately wanted to be physically close to wheat. Maybe he still doesn't know what love is and what love is, but so what? He is already expressing love.
After hearing the request for a handshake, Wheat was silent for a while. Someone mentioned that Wheat may be the fact that he was not a human being when he held his hand. After all, he only has four fingers. But so what? No one treats her as well as Meliam, and she immediately replied to him.
In TV315, when Wheat held Meliam, Meliam, who was dying, squeezed Wheat's hand.
Thinking that in the end he still hadn't beaten Mai Mai in a game, he was a little unwilling to hope Mai Mai could ignore their betting agreement and directly call him by name.
Wheat smiled and agreed.
She said, get a good night's sleep, Meliam. I will find you soon.
In the end, TV freezes, and the two ran into the distance hand in hand.
I hope that in another world, the two can meet again.
