In 2019, which is about to end, various changes are also taking place in the animation circle. The two works that have dominated the sales charts in the past years are Oda Eiichiro's "One Piece" and Isayama's "Attack on Titan" "In the past, the two works took turns to occupy the first place in the annual sales list. But until this year, unexpected things happened. With the release of the new animation "Demon Slayer Blade" in April this year, this newborn has become a work that beats the crowd. It not only won the top spot in the ratings, but also driven The economy of comics and the surrounding area has also risen sharply. Just in the annual sales list announced not long ago, "Demon Slayer" successfully topped the top and became the number one in annual sales. At present, there is a vast ocean of animation works. In the advent of his new work, it is also worth thinking about how to achieve success with a sharp edge. Why do fans like this work? I am afraid that it is difficult to escape the three eternal and unchanging routines in the comic world.
Blade of Ghost Slayer
"Blade of Ghost Slayer" is not brilliant in the choice of theme. It is a very common creation with the theme of killing ghosts, and it is such a work that has not only gained popularity in the comics. Shuiqi's position also won the title of annual hegemony. Man fans almost all know that animation is also a kind of cultural carrier. By animating the original works to further let Man fans understand and empathize with the story. Often each work is created by the author setting a historical or epochal background to convey its content plot and even the culture contained in it to readers, while most animated works are changed by the original comics, and others also contain Various themes such as novels and games. This also makes animation works appear in many categories, such as campus, emotion, funny, daily, battle and other forms for fans to choose, and most of them are based on the background of the era and cover a certain era of culture.
The Blade of Ghost Slayer
The author’s clever use of the background choices of the times
The choice of the times background plays a vital role in the whole work. The timeline corresponding to each character expands the plot of the story, and even connects the suspense in the story to finally get the answer, and the most famous work of the timeline is the brain-burning work "Attack giant". However, Wu Shiqing, the author of "The Blade of Ghost Slayer", cleverly uses the background of the times to divide the timeline, and the corresponding characters also reflect the culture of the times incisively and vividly. The story of
extends from the Heian era to the theme of the Taisho era as the background. The characters in the plot have experienced the time through comics to cryptically explain the cultural background of the time. Unlike other realistic works, they are not created with history as the theme. On the contrary, it is more like an understatement of the story with the theme of killing ghosts to inform readers that the era of the character at this time is a manifestation of such a scene.
Ghost Slayer Blade
A, Ghost Dance Tsuji was born in the Heian era. Due to a terminal illness, he met a kind "benevolent doctor" who volunteered to treat him. It was a coincidence. He turned the terminally ill Oni Mai Tsuji Mumai into the "Ghost King". Oni Mai Tsuji Mumai, who was born afraid of death, felt that the doctor could not cure his disease and even felt that he was wasting his life, and chose to kill the doctor. . The plot of the villain ghost king unfolded for this, and the "Benevolent Doctor" incident was also foreshadowed. Why did the author choose the Heian era when he chose Oni Mai Tsuji to become a ghost? If you understand the humanities of the Heian period, you will understand many reasons.
Hyakki Yayuki scroll
The Heian era lasted 398 years from 794 to 1192. This era is also known as the last era in ancient Japanese history. This era began when Emperor Hengmu moved the capital to Heiankyo. What is the connection between Onimai Tsujimura and Heian period history? The Heian period was the historical gathering place of Japanese culture and reached a high point, where various religions prevailed. At the same time, the culture of demons and ghosts flourishes here. When it comes to the culture of ghosts and gods in Japan, the most well-known thing is "Hyakki Yakou". Therefore, the Heian era also had a special professional intervention regime "Onmyoji". In ancient Japan, one of the official positions in the Yin and Yang Liao of the Ministry of Civil Affairs under the management of the legal system, they were technicians who used the Yin and Yang Dao based on the Five Acts of Yin and Yang to conduct divination and comprehension. Later these officialsThe divination techniques mastered by the clerk go beyond the original legal restrictions, so the Onmyoji refers to the person who is affiliated to the Yinyang Liao and is responsible for the sacrificial ceremony.
"Hyakki Yakou" introduces the Heian era in Japan. It is a dark and unclear era where both humans and monsters exist. The places where the monsters live and the places where humans live are actually overlapped in space, but humans are in the daytime. Activities, monsters appear at night.
From these perspectives, it is not accidental that the author chose the Heian era as the timeline for the birth of Onibu Tsujimura. It fits the background of the times and makes it easier for readers to understand. It also explains why Onibu Tsujimura became after receiving treatment. The reason why ghosts fear the sun.
Demon Slayer Blade
B, Following the national fate I era background, choose the Warring States period, Japan’s most profound ancient historical image is the "samurai" aristocracy, and natural use of the original breathing day breathing method following the national fate I It is a typical representative of the Warring States Period. The samurai family also has a hierarchical system in the aristocratic class. The family of Ji Guoyuan is occupying a place at this time. From the black death of his brother, Mou Yixin, he tried his best to get his father’s approval and inherit the honor of the family. To see. Subsequent Xiazhu Wuichiro, as a descendant of the successor nation, has repeatedly emphasized its connotation. The life experience of Ji Guo Yuan Yi also emphasized the degree of persistence of honor of the warriors in the Warring States Period. Just because they were born with their own markings, they were almost killed by their father. Moreover, Ji Guo Yuan Yi’s various experiences that were not taken seriously are reflected. The aristocratic atmosphere and culture at that time.
Samurai armor
The Warring States Period from 1467 to 1573 lasted for 106 years. This era, as its name suggests, refers to the war era. The land separatist forces frequently rose. The brother in the comics went smoothly after Guoyuanyi left home. Inheriting the family business and leading the people to the battlefield, the plot of encountering ghosts in the woods causing the entire army to be wiped out reflects the background of this era. It was also an opportunity for him to join the ghost killing team to follow Jiguoyuanyi. During the Warring States period, the samurai family had not yet reached the supreme rule. The rise of samurai was also in the Heian period. The work mentioned that ghost hunters will naturally appear from the birth of ghosts, which is also reflected in the birth of samurai in the Heian period.
Samurai is a military attache born under the law system of the Heian period. Except for slaves, all free men are obliged to be requisitioned by the emperor as conscripts (it is the same as voluntary service). The samurai class is divided into nobles after the Shogunate unified military administration Sergeants and corporals, and the samurai as a corporal cannot surpass the sergeant in terms of food, clothing, shelter and transportation. The sergeants are basically generals, banners, and tribes. The corporal included the lonely nobles and their descendants, as well as the samurai who were deposed by the feudal clan and became famous as ronin.
also used this timeline to maintain the imbalanced world view of humans and ghosts, so that the birth of Ji Guoyuanyi during the Warring States period not only suppressed the ghost dance Tsuji, but also because of the long timeline, the fire that the protagonist Tanjiro family lost. Shen Shenle sword skills have been extended on the plot.
Demon Slayer Blade
C, The Taisho era that the protagonist groups deal with is also the content that contains the most cultural elements. Tanjirou’s family suffered misfortune, his sister Nidouzi turned into a ghost. In order to find a way to turn Nidouzi into a human again, Tanjirou joined the ghost killing team through the introduction of brothers Yiyong and practiced in the deep mountains. The follow-up of friends has also received strong support from the ghost killing team. In the scene in Asakusa, Tanjiro first saw Oni Mai Tsuji's architectural background without misery and Mike's style of dressing up without misfortune all reflect the "Taisho Romance" culture. In the closing chapter of the first season, my wife Zenyi personally described the ban on wearing katana and the disapproval of the ghost killing team. A brief sentence obscured the process of cultural change at that time. The
steam locomotive
was only a short 15 years in the Taisho era. After the Meiji Restoration, the abolished sword order was issued and the samurai nobles’ power was reduced, and the samurai was reduced to a noble family, without the previous rights, and the abolished sword order also caused many The samurai who only depends on fighting for a living does not know where to go. The Taisho period was also the era in which the cultural system reform was the most significant after the Meiji Restoration. The cultural system of the closed country was abolished, the mind was further opened up, and a large number of Western cultures were introduced. From the architectural perspective, there is a scene of the integration of Japanese and Western styles."It is also a typical representative of the Taisho period. Humanistic clothing is also a mixture of various Japanese and Western styles. The multiple evolution of the ghost dance Tsuji is an obvious representative.
Taisho Romance is a Japanese expression of the Taisho era (from 1912 to 1912). During the reign of Emperor Taisho in 1926, the atmosphere of thought and cultural phenomenon. In fact, the name Romance was given by the writer Natsume Soseki. Influenced by the romanticism developed in Europe in the 19th century, personal liberation and personal liberation during the Taisho era Ideas of the new era, etc., have prevailed, and this name is used to describe these phenomena. In the Taisho era, not only did people pursue fashion, but the industry was also undergoing reforms. In addition to clothing and steam locomotives, there were also western restaurants and cafes. And other places. And the author is using this era to narrate what kind of life the ghost dance Tsuji is living in the bustling downtown area. In order to eliminate the ghost, what kind of bumpy stories the protagonist group has experienced in this life background.
ghost extinction The author of the blade
has a surprisingly creative technique
Speaking of the creation of comics, the author of "The Blade of Demon Slayer" Wu Miao Hu Shiqing has also been called a mysterious author by the comics, not only does not have a real photo of this person, but also his identity has become A fan, simply because his ID surrendered was a "crocodile", and for this reason was called the "crocodile" teacher by the majority of comic fans, and even revealed that the manga author is a female, but it has not been confirmed. Because of such an author, the manga "Demon Slayer" is also surprising. Judging from the plot of the work, everyone's love for this work is also due to the fast pace. Now the first season of the animation has been At the same time as the production of the theatrical version was announced, the comics have entered the plot of encirclement and suppression of the ghost dance Tsuji, which is even more worrying. Before the release of the theatrical version, the work has been announced and ended.
Of course, this It’s all off-topic. Back to the topic, it’s not brilliant in terms of the subject matter, but the "crocodile" teacher has avoided several common problems that comic fans hate. Many fans will find a problem in the process of chasing comics. , When the plot is about to reach its climax, the rhythm is often pulled to the bottom in the form of reminiscence of the plot. "Demon Slayer" is in the process of gradually accelerating the rhythm in the subsequent plot, starting from the infinite train line, fighting It hasn’t stopped. The use of Memory Killing is based on a few brief paragraphs to substantiate the characters, without too much description. The memories that occur in the protagonist are often the finishing touch to the opening of a new world, and it is through Worm Pillar Ninja. In terms of recall, the plot is set to a new definition of "revolving lantern."
The Blade of Ghost Slayer
as the reader's feeling does not give excessive respite, and the plot setting does not give readers a chance to open the "Zooming Blade" "Unlike most of the current works, there are various positive characters in the setting of tragic box lunches. In the past, the works gave readers a comfortable and perfect ending to tell the story. On the contrary, the "crocodile" teacher uses a sacrificial role to fight the ghost to the end.
The three major routines that have not changed but cannot resist
The three major routines that have been handed down from ancient times to the present not only remain unchanged, but also try to be a hundred spirits. The author of "Blade of Ghost Slayer" has also grasped this point. In terms of the above-mentioned creative techniques, the rhythm of the plot, and the character setting, this can be said to be a very common creation. The popularity of "Ghost Slayer" on the Internet is closely related to the three major routines.
The Blade of Ghost Slayer
1, the cartoon animation became famous. The comics of "The Blade of Ghost Slayer" have been serialized in the "Weekly Shonen Jump" since 2016. The animation was announced in June 18, and it was released in April this year. From the time point of view, the precipitation period of 2 years. Relying on animation to stimulate domestic demand has played a vital role, because for me, I didn't know about the work of Ghost Destruction before, and I didn't even know the existence of this work before the animation was released. When the UFO Club accepted and released the animation, the first thing that attracted me was not the subject matter, but the visual impact that the animation brought to me. The seamless connection between 2D and 3D images, single episode quality production can reach the drama The effect of the production version has also become the main factor that attracts the eye. Combat special effects are the specialty of flying saucers, so there is no need to make too many comments.
The Blade of Ghost Slayer
2, the author’s psychological control of comics, here is not only the author but also the UFO clubIn the animation, the UFO Club’s control over the chapter plots has been completely deepened by the essence of the "crocodile" teacher. Everyone in the world has curiosity, just like the sentence "Curiosity killed the cat", because the curiosity of the fans deeply killed the pillars in the plot. Gui Mie unfolds from a sad story in the original meaning of the prelude. The protagonist Tanjirou was left behind as a ghost sister because of the family's misfortune. For passers-by who have not pursued the original, they will guess how hard the brother and sister are. Ri embarked on a journey of revenge. Something that no one thought of, but gradually took a funny line after a tragic event. Let the viewers' hearts completely let go of the expectations of the tragic plot, and follow the transition from the funny to the sensational and then to the continuation of the funny plot. It’s like leading a manga on a roller coaster, not only relaxes you, but also makes you tensed before the show.
The Blade of Ghost Slayer
3, through the image portraying of joy and funny plus the cuteness of your beans, attracts passers-by, and grasps the heart through the taste. Friends who watch the animation may understand that often when a dangerous event is about to happen, the end of the chapter is very uncomfortable at this time, and I immediately want to know what will happen to the protagonist next or how to resolve it. At the end of Chapter 18, Tanjiro ends when the sword is broken. No need to say how many fans are spitting fragrance in the barrage. After the animation is over, the switch to comics is also used in this way to make people look forward to the next update, until the start of "The Blade of Pillar Slayer" makes the fans can't help but come out and make trouble. The routine is used like a fish in water. Now everyone is chasing this work not only to know how the progress will change, but also to worry about which role the "crocodile" teacher will turn to. Such a strong psychological impact is inevitably a move that fans can't parry and resist.
The trend of this work now is just like which characters the fans like and which characters can't escape the gorgeous butcher knife. The progress is so fast that everyone not only has a cold sweat for the ending, although many are now predicting the ending will be The tragedy is over, but looking at the creative style of the "crocodile" teacher, it is impossible to be as simple as everyone wants, so I am still looking forward to it.
