Jin and Griffith didn't appear in each other's lives for a long time, but some things are the same for us ordinary people - those who have left a deep imprint on you, and even influenced your interests, preferences, life aspirations, code of conduct , often did not get along with you day and night, but was sealed in your memory. But the years they have gone through with you are really unforgettable. Especially a young king like Griffith, who is doomed to be lonely, will inevitably tremble no matter how strong his wings are, and secretly hope that if he falls, there will be someone who not only cares about him but really understands him, and can be strong enough. catch him. Therefore, he will envy Jin's stalwart, pure and free will; such extreme love will gradually evolve into a fanatical possessiveness if such extreme love is placed on the perfect white eagle; There is so much that he lacks.
Emotions are roughly divided into three categories: adoration, infatuation, and contempt, each with positive and negative meanings. We envy or adore things that are too powerful to reach, despise or sympathize with things too weak to touch, but only "fascinate" with things that are close to us. The more infatuated, the less able to succumb to the inferior; Therefore, even if he sacrificed those comrades in the Eagle Corps who had been fighting side by side since childhood, Griffith was reluctant to destroy the Jin that really broke his spirit, even if the demonic desire to destroy burned in his chest Extremely passionate - because I am infatuated with you, I want to control you; since you have to struggle, you can't go back to the past, so I can only pray that you are better off dead than alive. Such betrayal and injury are not out of hatred, but only out of extreme love. Jin is strong and magnanimous, and Griffith is too cheap, so this is the ultimate expression of the strong to the strong, and it is worthy of the best writing of Japanese manga on male friendship.
I occasionally feel that "Legend of Swordsman" and "Once Upon a Time in America" actually have exactly the same character structure, Griffith, Jin and Casca, corresponding to Max, Nords and Deborah in the past. However, "Legend of Sword and Wind" is actually much brighter than "Once Upon a Time in America". You can see from it that the upright black man gradually overthrows the sinister white eagle. Although the female god of war is mentally abnormal, she has not betrayed herself; however, the Manhattan Bridge A bloody storm has been raging for half a century, and the warriors who have high self-esteem crawl on the ground before their fate, the friendship of youth is gone, the pain and regret of a lifetime are dissipated with the smoke, leaving only the twisted nostalgia and care. , dusty in the senator's palatial office.
Miura said that he had conceived the final fate of Tsu and Griffith as early as the beginning of writing, and according to the current trend, we will not be able to read this "final" in a short time. But there are indications that this knot situation is bound to shock beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone thought that Griffith would continue to follow the assembly line that produced countless popular characters, and he would die after he achieved dominance. Unexpectedly, he turned around and offered the blood sacrifice to the Eagle Corps, falling into the devil's way; everyone thought that He will go deeper and deeper along the magic path and will never end, but unexpectedly, he was reborn as an extremely dazzling "Eagle of Light" and became the savior of the world, regaining the political power he wanted, resisting the invasion of foreign enemies, and building an incomparable "The Empire of the Millennium Eagle". The author puts the halo on Griffith again, so the reader is also confused. Everyone once believed that Griffith would pay the price for the Blood Sacrifice Eagle Group, but when the White Eagle's flag was flown on the battlefield again, it could still evoke the blood boiling of the Golden Age. Will this still be a revenge story? Can Jin really do it? As the storyline dragged on, everything was uncertain.
I believe Miura will give a satisfactory answer.
Note: I wrote it for a comic magazine last year. The original text is more than 10,000 words, but I haven't written it well... Now I put some excerpts on it. In fact, this part is not well written, I feel like a middle school student's diary, I really want to give myself a bad review.
