Fortunately, when I typed this answer sheet to Ghost Slayer, the emotional flood had passed. Whether it's the madness in the first brush, the "depression" of being "knife" for several days in the finale, or the many people who said when surfing the Internet, "I think the comics of Ghost Slayer are just average." When there are no heroes who made Shuzi famous" and "it's really far worse than xxx", I feel that I have something to say, and because I am not very good at fighting with others online, I have to let it go and let it stay. Injustice in my heart.
I think, arguing with others about whether a work is good or bad, and arguing with emotions will ultimately convince no one. Although it is said that looking at works and appreciating other people's creations will definitely carry a certain degree of subjectivity, but is there no objective standard for evaluating a work? Of course there are, but this "objective standard" stripped of subjective emotions and biases is not unified by everyone, but divided into several schools. I personally think that the evaluation of Ghost Slayer Blade is mixed, and the problem arises here.
In this world, there will be works of "I like it but I think it is not good enough" (for me, such as Unknown Flower Name), and there will also be works of "I don't like it very much, but I think it is excellent and wonderful" (for me For example, steel fa, but the author collapsed). Some people pay more attention to pictures and technology, some people pay more attention to twists and turns and rhythm, some people pay more attention to characters, some people pay attention to plots, some people pay attention to emotions, some people pay attention to patterns, some people pay attention to depth, and so on. Of course, a work is a combination of the above factors, but there will be people who "have a bad style of painting and can't look good", there will be people who "the characters don't like me, so I don't have the ability to cook with them", and there will be people who have "insufficient worldviews". It's complicated, and the combat mode is not exciting enough, which makes me doubt the author's level." There are also people who just saw the slightly hypocritical translation and abandoned it for one episode. Of course, there is nothing wrong with those who watch the show happily with different standards, but if you call it a masterpiece because of a certain advantage you value, or its shortcomings touch your minefield , let you depreciate it below the value, I think this kind of remark is like saying "the first 12 episodes of Stone Gate are so boring, the rhythm is not well controlled, and the rhythm is not good to talk about", "eva is a beautiful girl and mecha , such a vulgar setting can still be circulated for so many years" "cl is just a harem (the gal changed it), what about family and life?" These words are the same, quite ridiculous.
(I’m very sorry for dragging some other stories into it. I don’t intend to use them to compete, let alone argue about “whether xxx can be compared with xxx”. I put it here just because I want to get people’s favorite [fog]. Works illustrate opinions, just because I like them.)
So when I see those people who think that Guishui is "just a rising star of the times" and "can't be compared with the old-timers", but they can't bear the lemon when they see the sales, I think they look at the "framework" of the work. It may not be the same as the "frame" of Ghost Slayer fans. There is a very popular saying that Ghost Slayer is like picking up the mainstream method of cooking in a restaurant that is developing in a non-mainstream direction. Although the food is very mediocre, it is widely praised. In fact, it would be wrong to think this way, because many fans love Ghost Slayer precisely because they don't have to look at it with the eyes of traditional juvenile hot-blooded comics. And what kind of standard can we see its beauty, its goodness, and our love for it, then please let me put my own "frames" together.
1. The plot is old-fashioned and nothing new?
"This is nothing more than a boy who beat ghosts, took his younger sister, passed through many levels step by step, beat level bosses, and finally killed the ghost boss, understood the grudges, and had no twists and turns. It's an old-fashioned and simple story. "
In fact, there are also many classic works. If the frame is drawn alone, it is also a story that is too simple; the same is true for the second dimension. It's just that Ghost Extinguisher is different, because it's red, it's easy to be picked on for such faults. But the people who pick ghosts and eliminate faults don't see another difference in it, that is, its details, which really can't be described as "old-fashioned". Whether it is Big Brother Yanzhu who took the lunch box decisively as soon as he appeared on the stage, or Xiao Wu, who died young with a promising future, and Brother Feng and Xuan Mi who "white-haired people send black-haired people", this is not only a knife, but also The knife was unexpected. As for the naive reversal behind Senior Brother Gao Leng when he first appeared on the stage, Rihu's Tantan had no blood-related talent, and the Son of God turned out to be a friend of his ancestors... There are many, many other ways to go against the routine.
Of course, what I want to discuss more is its final battle. In general juvenile hot-blooded comics, the protagonist should expand to the strongest, and then kill the enemy who is also the strongest in a handsome and hot-blooded manner. But ghosts are different. Why can't we weaken the enemy? We have no interest in becoming the strongest in the world. What we want to achieve is to eliminate evil spirits and bring peace to people. Just like the role of ghost killers, we don’t need the awareness of one-on-one duels between strong people. Team battles are team battles. , killing a ghost can save a lot of innocent people. What I don't understand is why so many people have not been moved by Miss Zhu Shi's persistence over the past few hundred years, and have not passed on the will of "please help us defeat Wu Miserable" for the seemingly weak, and become the strongest She exclaimed while assisting, but she was extremely disgusted with "Zhu Shi's medicine". If it is because of this dissatisfaction with the ending of Ghost Extermination, I think these people still haven't jumped out of the traditional thinking box of hot-blooded teenagers. No shame in weakening the enemy, darlings! There is no shame in using technology to hang up! No shame in becoming the strongest in the world! (Isn’t the ghost extermination not enough to be anti-introverted? To be the strongest, cutting off the connection with “people” will bring endless emptiness) Everyone put their lives and tried their best, so everyone is a hero; it is because human beings have There are so many weak and limited places that make human beings great. It is not necessarily that the protagonist is the strongest in order to be moved. What does it mean to become the strongest? Do you want to be the same as Yan Sheng? That's not what it means!
As for the trend of the overall plot, I always feel that Ghost Slayer is like a collage of many wonderful background stories, and these people, these stories, and these themes that they want to express are strung together through a simple clue. Maybe these clues will be a little simpler because of the rhythm (for example, I really want to see more interactions between the characters in it! Especially between the "columns", the crocodiles put their brains in the appendices and settings instead of the main story. , I think it's such a pity.) But the background stories behind each of them are really wonderful. There are so many of those revolving lights that made me cry. So just because its rhythm is in a hurry, is it too one-sided to say that its plot is not good? To use an inappropriate analogy, Ghost Slayer is like a necklace strung together with a string of short stories. Some people must mind the shape of the string. The circle or love symbol it is placed in is not standard, but I It only cares whether each bead is big and round, and whether it is very beautiful. Those little stories themselves are enough to be cherished.
This is also my "like".
Second, the theme is simple and the pattern is small?
Some people like to say that the pattern of Ghost Extermination is too small and the theme is too simple; because its camp is too simple, it is black and white, so it is younger.
First of all, I want to clarify that blurring the boundaries between good and evil is a choice, and it is also a choice to distinguish between good and evil. There is actually no difference between the two; the setting of people and ghosts does not need to continue into the racial struggle. theme comes up. If you think that only a dialectically unified theme like "the struggle between the two camps has no absolute good and evil" is a good theme, and use it to request every work, then the current fan drama area will inevitably become cookie-cutter.
You want to present the complexity of the story and inject both good and evil into the characters. Of course it is good, but the problem is that there are also many stories that preach "there is no absolute good and evil", but there are two opposing viewpoints in the story. In fact, it is also very naive, and this type of story, if it is not well controlled, it is easy to be suspected of excessive whitewashing, and it will be criticized. Ghost Extermination is different. It has a clear camp of good and evil, but it also understands and sympathizes with ghosts. It is undoubtedly excellent in terms of whitewashing and control. This is a rare quality in current animation.
There are also people who struggle with setting issues. For example, the boss is so low-key, and the number of people killed by ghosts is not as high as the number of people killed in a war. Why only focus on fighting ghosts and not look at other problems in society? ?
But in fact, although the setting of Ghost Extermination was set in the era a hundred years ago, it actually reflects the problems of the current era. For example, some of the characteristics of "new women" embodied in Lianlian, the concern for low-class people (poor people), the polarization between the rich and the poor, the problem of domestic violence, and the doubts of many "empty" ghosts about the meaning of individual existence often appear in the story (Is this a more obvious problem in modern society?) And so on. And the story took place in the peaceful and prosperous age of the Neon Country, its values should look more pleasing to the eye today, after all, "this prosperous age is as you wish". (Of course, Japanese traditional culture and national character are also reflected. For example, Yan Sheng, a traditional samurai family, reflects the concept of hierarchy, respect and order, and "each in its own way"; the third brother and Grandpa Shanyi and others suicide, embodied "culture of shame", etc.)
The problem is, I don't mind how it's structured, what I like about it is the depth. It depicts emotions, and it embodies various valuable qualities of human beings. The best portrayed in Ghost Slayer is family affection, whether it is the mutual protection between Tanzi and his sister, Zenitsu and grandfather, Inosuke and Qinye, three butterfly sisters, Fengge and Xuanmi, Shitou brothers, Yanzhu father and son, The six brothers and sisters, Xiaolei and parents... These beautiful and pure emotions are hard not to be moved. I don't think family affection and emotion are superficial themes, because love and family run through a person's life. Family and human relations are our foundation, and the moral values of the Orientals start from the family and push it outwards and into the society. For the depiction of friendship, such as senior brother and Qiantu, Shimi and Kuangjin, and the three little ones (it is admirable that the distance between the three little ones is really just right, which is intimate, sincere, and not rotten. The problem... Of course, if the reader must use the "eye of BL" to automatically make up his mind, there is no way x), even the common team members have deep feelings of joy and sorrow. The portrayal of love in Ghost Extermination is also sad and touching. Axue's persistence by the third brother's side for hundreds of years, the setting of the third brother's technique and hair color, Yushi Lang kissing Miss Zhu Shi's hairpin, the silent protection of Snake Love and the confession before death...
The amazing thing is that most of the lines in Ghost Slayer that make people feel sad to read have clearly passed the level of translation, and most of them are very simple and unpretentious. There are a lot of words, I can hear the voices when I look at them, they seem to be monologues generated from the hearts of the characters, not like the author's imagination (but it is actually x) . There are too many memorable lines, "God, please don't take my brother away" "My brother is the most gentle person in this world" "Shan Yi, you are my pride" "I will fulfill my The obligation to not let anyone present die" "No matter how many times I reincarnated" "I really couldn't cry at that time, I'm sorry, Sister Shinobi"...
What I like most about Ghost Slayer is that it thoroughly reflects the good and bright side of human nature. I don't agree that only the dark and disabled can be considered "profound". The beautiful side of human nature also has depth. Brother Yanzhu sacrificed himself to protect others, the third brother's conscience was awakened, the human nature defeated the ghost nature, and the second brother finally found the human emotion in the ending, Yuanyi's memory will always be the brother's distressing smile... In fact, it is the embodiment of the beauty of human nature. The values embodied in the lines are even more amazing, Tan Tan argues for no one, "Forging knives is also an important job, they are people with powerful skills that are different from swordsmen, everyone is also fighting, and they fight every day in their own way. On the battlefield!" Shanzi said to Liumei, "You can't use the same method to deal with others just because they did things to you that you don't like." I was speechless, but unfortunately Liumei's brain is not very good). As for the third brother Tan Tan Xun, "When we were born, everyone was a weak baby, and we couldn't live without help. The strong should protect and help the weak, and then the weak will become stronger, and then protect and help those who are weaker than themselves." Contrary to the shortcomings of the "Mu Qiang" values in many juvenile comics (for example, "this world is the world of the strong", "only the strong are the truth of this world", etc.). Because there are quite a few social Darwinisms in the hot-blooded comics, but Ghost Slayer is not an ordinary hot-blooded comic. Hot Blood Man is "challenging the strong", and Ghost Extermination is "killing bad people for the sake of righteousness". Especially for ghosts, becoming stronger is not as simple as a dream or self-realization. It is eating people and becoming stronger. This has nothing to be proud of, it will only make them more ashamed (beginning to turn inward, to individuals. A reflection on the rivalry of ism (hum).
So after so much discussion, is ghost extermination really black and white?
It is said that the development of human vision (the development of the second disease x) has three stages. The first is to see mountains as mountains and water as water.
The second is that with the growth of experience, I began to learn to doubt, that mountains are not mountains, and water is not water.
The third is that you gradually understand what is worth believing and what should be doubted and subverted. So I see mountains as mountains and water as water.
Obviously, it is said that the children who are young and black or white should be in the second stage of the secondary disease, and have experienced some baptism of works that subvert their view of good and evil, and "the camp of good and evil is not absolute".
But you must know that those "blurring the boundaries between good and evil" are not intended to be vague, but to guide us to make judgments from specific facts rather than superficial names. The reason why the "villain" dystopia is actually "good" is that it is derived from specific facts (in the story), not without judgment. Like Ghost Extinguisher, isn't everyone's background story explained clearly? Ghosts are empty creatures who experience misery to give sympathy, but it's not right to hurt innocent people, isn't it obvious? You can feel sadness and sympathy from these moral judgments, and feel the simple and beautiful moral values in their hearts, isn't it enough? In the face of specific things, there can be moral judgments.
Of course, some people must use the eyes of the first stage, "seeing the mountains as mountains and seeing the water as water", and there is no way out. A typical example is the "little policeman in the rice circle" who wastes his time every day and goes to some villain-centered fan fiction to make trouble.
In the second stage, in addition to accusing Ghost Extinguishing of being black and white, there are also some villain chefs who "can't understand" (note that "I can't understand", I think it is pointed out that "three views follow the five senses" "It's not really a big problem [escape]). I think these people may have been influenced by those works that confuse good and evil, but they were only touched at a very low level, and they didn't understand the meaning of "dialectical thinking" and "autonomous thinking" that the works really wanted to convey. Following the rebellious little idea, they (sorry I think most of them are girls, because there are so many handsome villains) mistakenly think that the villains are interesting (in fact, this sentence is not a big problem, it is true that the villains will be "interesting") , mistakenly consider "being able to see the cause of evil people clearly" as whitewashing; or assume the roles in it, and feel that they can't make the right choices under that environment, so they can be forgiven. However, all "evil" has a reason, and most evil people are cultivated, so there is nothing wrong with these "evil"? Because some "evil" outcome is inevitable, should we justify it? Ghost Extermination focuses on depicting the cause of "evil", but it does not justify the result. On the contrary, people like Tan Tan apply their own understanding of the causal chain that forms evil people to break the chain.
The value of eyes lies in seeing mountains as mountains and water as water. Don't turn mountains and rivers upside down, or mix them into a lump of mud, so that the good intentions of God for our eyes will be betrayed. (Quoted from Sanmao x)
3. Is the character thinness either positive or negative?
Of course, the ghost-killing character camp is clearly divided into positive and negative factions. The refutation of "black and white" has been mentioned above. Here I want to focus on saying that some people think that positive characters are relatively "thin" in portrayal. question.
First, the fullness of the characters does not necessarily require them to have multiple personalities. The fullness of Ghost Slayer's characters lies in the fact that each character's character is closely related to their growing environment and background. It's not just what masks you want them to wear. Tanjiro is gentle and good at taking care of people because he is the eldest son in the family; Zenitsu is an orphan since he was a child and has always been deceived, so he has become so easily frightened and has a morbid desire to build a family; Inosuke is Yamasato It is because of his childhood that he has been abused, and he is emotionally deficient. It does not mean that "three noes" mean "three noes"; Wuichiro is also "three noes" because of amnesia; Yiyong is because he suppressed himself. It is because of the conflict between his strong personality and the external requirements of wanting to be gentle that he hides his knife in a smile, not to say "black belly" means "black belly"; Yanzhu becomes everyone's spiritual guide The teaching of his mother is indispensable; Shimi often shows fierceness because he lived in a place where the security is not very good when he was a child; Snake Zhu becomes so bitter and mean and does not easily trust others because of his family and experience (except for love XD) ...
As for the villains, there are even more. Almost every revolving lamp is an answer to "why the wicked become the wicked". Shang Er was regarded as a "non-human" since he was a child. In such an environment, how did he put on a mask step by step, and how he turned on the emotional switch under the shaking of Qin Ye and Shinobi; and how did Shang live in his family and times Under the circumstance, step by step to erase the love and sympathy for the younger brother, from love to hate, to jealous and paranoid, these are all very interesting questions. However, Shang Si directly visualized various emotions of joy, anger, sorrow and joy, and directly described it as a "psychological lecture hall": "anger" swallowed up sadness and joy, but "hatred" finally hides "fear", which has to be Admire the skills of the crocodile teacher's psychological portrayal.
It should also be noted that the crocodile pays great attention to the control of the strengths and weaknesses of the characters. In particular, he added "likeable points" to many characters that were "unpleasant" at first glance, overturning the previous initial impression. Although Shanyi is a bit frivolous and noisy, and asks the boss to hug his thighs when he appears, but when he is really in danger, he can "focus a little to the top" and stand in front of those who need protection; although pigs sometimes appear reckless and unreasonable, but in fact The heart is so pure, if you are good to him, then he will definitely respond to such a good response; Xuan Mi looks fierce, and when he first appeared on the stage, he almost hurt the little girl because of a nervous breakdown, but he is actually very gentle and kind People, you will be shy towards girls XD; as for the first meeting of nine pillars, most people's attitude towards Nezuko made their blood pressure soar, and after understanding the background stories of each of them and the reasons for doing so, I turned around It turns out that everyone is an angel...
Charcoal, as the protagonist, should have the most perfect personality in the story. The reason why many people like this comic is also because of his gentle personality, but not weak and unprincipled: he is jealous of the villains, right and wrong, but he also fully understands and sympathizes with them Unfortunate; in the face of Fengzhu's initial provocation to Douzi, it is also a hammer that is not afraid of power. But I personally think that the most successful and full-bodied character is Butterfly Ninja, especially in the last World War II, when the wisteria flower poison broke out, Chanel opened Zhuyan and Inosuke together to cut the part, I, a child chef (seriously!), can see it Can't help screaming, this suicide play is tragic, sad and hysterical. (The following is a statement of dementia) Shinobu is only 18 years old, 151cm tall and 37kg in weight. She doesn't even have the strength to cut off a ghost's head. She is such a delicate girl, but she can become a ghost killer with her own efforts. "column". "As long as you kill a ghost, dozens of people will be rescued. If you kill a string, hundreds of people can be rescued. This is not a question of whether it can be done, but a question of what must be done." After hitting multiple serious injuries, the phrase "Stand up, Butterfly Endures" is really shocking. Even in the face of a strong enemy, even if the next is a planned suicide play, you must die with dignity and fight to the end. For a moment, her last move, her sword pointing at the ceiling, really brought her unyielding performance to the extreme. And Ren Mingming didn't even save his own life, and he was still worried about Chanel's eyes. She was such a gentle person, and who would remember when she saw her that she was a strong, upright and heroic girl . Because my sister likes her smile the most, she suppresses her nature, suppresses her anger, and lives like her sister. It must be tiring, right? But it was a must for her, just as the death of a loved one made her unforgettable. Shinobi's life is full of pain and sharp contradictions, but it is these tragedies that make her tragic and beautiful. A life as fragile and short as a butterfly will eventually wither and fade away, but it also leaves an unforgettable trace in our memory.
Fourth, can't you paddle in combat?
What Ghost Slayer is most afraid of is the fear that someone will criticize Ghost Slayer's combat. Whether it's "the battle system is too simple, the only way to have a strong combat power is to shout 'breath of x, shape of x, xxx', blood ghost art, xxx', and then a few still pictures", or "Look at it. In the final decisive battle, there was no tragic battle, and the whiplash that filled the screen, tsk tsk tsk, is simply a picture of hell.” (Criticism representatives mainly come from generic commentaries~), in fact, they all hit the nail on the head and stepped on the point all at once. But if you feel that the battle of Ghost Extinguisher is really not good, its value lies in the memory killing, here I want to refute a sentence or two. Because, even on top of the above shortcomings, the battle plot of Ghost Slayer can still deeply attract me.
First, is the arrangement of the battle. Each of its battles is with the strongest combat power known so far, and each battle is hoarse, so it is "high-energy and continuous", and there will be no fighting plots in the water. It is worth noting that in the climax part of the Infinite City battle, each of its strong duels has the corresponding intentions of the characters : Tanjiro, Yanzhu (because there is a rivalry with the third brother, so it can also be counted), Yiyong, Shang All three correspond to "protection", that is, they all have people who need to be protected; and in the last battle, except for the rock pillar with the most powerful combat power, everyone else had "brothers", and put these different brotherhoods aside. Compared to each other, it must be frustrating. [Pan-style has complained about whether the crocodile is a woman because it is a woman, and where does so much brotherhood come from, but I think that comparing these different "brotherhood" together is also the genius of the crocodile. Brothers and sisters (Charcoal and Douzi, Shangliu Brothers and Sisters), sisters and brothers (Yiyong and sister), and sisters (Butterfly...) are also reflected in the story of the crocodile. 】
As for the last World War II, I think the crocodile was arranged more delicately. To a certain extent, Tong Mo can be said to be the "fake smile" of Hu Dierin, the lack of emotion of Chana, and the combination of Inosuke's simplicity and childishness. I believe these roles can be more clearly understood by looking at one of them and looking at the other. It's just that Ren's "fake smile" is for her sister, but the leader's smirk mask is a complete show and hypocrisy; Chanel is emotionally deficient, but under the influence of her relatives and companions, she has regained her emotions, and the leader is also emotionally deficient. What came was a lonely and desolate death (you may have recovered your emotions at the time of the revolving light, but of course it was too late); Pig is a wild child who grew up in the mountains, and has not experienced normal socialization, so it is simple; the leader has not experienced it either. In normal socialization, the character's heart is more like a blank piece of paper, and the environment in which he grew up has always been on which to write and draw, but he simply reflects the influence he has received (it's just that he keeps it in his heart). The imprints are almost all bad things)... In a certain way, the leader is indeed a simple and transparent child, so his name has the word "child", right? (Wait, I don't know Japanese, don't hit me)
On the other hand, it is worth noting that the battle plot of Ghost Slayer is tragic and shocking.
Crocodiles are really good at portraying expressions and injuries. I can't forget the big brother's chest in the Infinite Train who was punched through the chest and dragged Shang San to prevent him from escaping; I can't forget that in the Huajie chapter, Tan Tan forcibly used the sun call, and said to the sixth sister with blood in his eyes, "The lost life will never come back. No more, no more", and the stripes that opened with the pain of piercing the jaw; I can't forget that every time Xuanmi turned into a ghost, followed by dismemberment again and again, and fought so fiercely with his broken body; I can't forget the shock that the third brother used the technique on himself, and the bones and muscles were beaten out; I can't forget the back that Butterfly Ninja singled out and stood up with devastated bodies, leaving us with only the upper body left; Wuyi, and the sun-knife that turned red (Bastard! I don't want to type this sentence out!); I can't forget all the ordinary soldiers who gave their lives to save lives under the whip of Wumei; I can't forget the blood on Chanel's forehead, In the face of an infinitely approaching powerful enemy, what I think is not "run away" but "stand up and defeat this guy"; I can't forget the snake whose whole face was maimed, and the charcoal whose half face was rotten. The individual is still desperately lining up with Wu Miserable... There are too many, I can't forget it, I really can't forget it. Some people say that the people in the crocodile's paintings don't scream or cry when they get hurt (except for Zenitsu who didn't get serious), I just don't think all the pain needs "Aah, ah, my right hand" (sorry for this thread It may make some people unhappy) to express it, but those pictures hurt the characters, but they hurt me when I read the comics.
Some people say that this is just the taste of crocodiles, bloody hunting. Bloody hunting is neither good nor bad, and it also depends on where it is used (but I am afraid that the animation after Ghost Slayer will be banned because of bloody hunting, ah, ah, ah, don't!!!! Such a good movie!!!). When used in Chilling Cicada, it brought me mainly visual impact; but in Ghost Extinguishing, it allowed me to see strength, courage, unyielding, selflessness, sacrifice, and infinite spiritual power. ... It brought me, is moved.
I believe that there will be readers like me who are more willing to read the moving from the battle, rather than the setting of the second, or the visually beautiful fight. In other words, I am more extreme. I don't care about the battle picture at all. I don't need to rely on wonderful moves or technical pictures to become blood boiling or tears. I heard that
Perhaps, this is where it came out of the circle.
So, to sum up the viewpoints, theories, and "frames" I mentioned earlier, I think Wolf Slayer is something that is more "sword-oriented".
You say that it has a single plot, but it is really unexpected, moving and high-energy; you say that its theme is simple and small, but its moral judgment is very deep, the proportion of whitewashing is just right, and the characters The values of collectivism conveyed in the feelings are also sufficient; you say that its characters are too bright and lack the duality of good and evil, but its characters are full in depth and multi-faceted in other aspects; you say it The combat system is not easy to draw, but it depicts the hysterical state of the battle very well, and the injuries of the characters are so real that they hurt the flesh, tragic and shocking.
It seems that in every dimension it can find "deficiencies by traditional standards" and its excels. Therefore, Ghost Slayer is destined to be viewed outside the evaluation and understanding framework of traditional juvenile manga, isn't it?
To paraphrase what the lord said to Lianlian, "Please be proud of your strength. Those who speak ill of you are afraid of your talent, they are just jealous of you." Yes, please don't dwell on its difference from others , its uniqueness is its most beautiful side. Just rejoice in a little recognition for something you love, and like it at its most natural and authentic.
No matter what happens in the end, I hope everyone who has seen Ghost Extermination can be touched and gain something from this story, that's enough.
Yes, that's enough.
[As an aside, in fact, even now, I still don't like the ending of Ghost Slayer 205, the settings of reincarnation and descendants... It seems to be a temporary piece together to appease readers' emotions. It made me feel that the previous story was like an absurd dream, and it made me feel lost, but Ghost Extermination was originally a dream, right? But I remember it firmly and think about it often.
But I think that the last bit of optional modern ending is not harmful to the story itself~]
Having said that, since various well-known juvenile comics have encountered various unexpected changes, the popularity of Gui Shui seems to be picking up little by little. I have seen some voices that "Gui Shui is really better than these", but I am not sure. I don't know whether to be happy or unhappy, because what I like is still Ghost Slayer itself, and I won't be happy because its "competitors" are rotten. But as I said earlier, there is no shame in weakening the enemy (Da Cao), let's all be happy together (sadly eat a knife) and watch the ghost die!
If you have other opinions or ideas, please point them out in the comment area and discuss together~
