Chapter 3644: The Weak Defeats the Strong
Training is an indispensable part of hot-blooded comics. Training and becoming stronger is a very important process to equalize combat effectiveness. The content of training includes basic training, developing secrets, improving realms, etc. Generally speaking, the protagonist needs to become stronger through training to enhance the credibility of the protagonist defeating the villain.
After all, the protagonist of most stories is not One Punch Man, and he cannot deal with the villain without reason.
If the villain of the story is not strong, there will be no sense of oppression, and the story will not be interesting. The enemy is very strong, and the protagonist is not an opponent, so training is carried out and the enemy is finally defeated. This is a common routine.
Chasing the battle is the main attraction of the story.
Whether it is an adventure, passing on skills, training, system, etc., there is always a reason for the weak to defeat the strong.
Why can the Qin State destroy the six countries with the power of one country? Why can Alexander penetrate Persia within ten years? Why can Liu Bang defeat Xiang Yu...
Why can the weak defeat the strong? This is an enduring question. But in summary, it is nothing more than the weak becoming stronger, the strong becoming weaker, and the rise and fall of one.
Training is a common way to go from weak to strong, but in the later period, because the enemy's strength became more and more exaggerated, training became useless. After all, the training patterns are limited, and it is difficult for the audience to believe that the same training can always be useful.
How to make training interesting, you have to change the pattern.
For example, the training in "Dragon Ball" is varied. At the beginning, following Master Kame is doing all kinds of work, delivering milk, plowing the land, and all the training is combined with labor.
Then Sun Wukong left Master Kame and started exaggerated physical training, and overcame his weaknesses by the way. Then he climbed the Karin Tower to complete physical training, followed the cat master for reaction training, and later drank the super holy water to stimulate his potential.
Just when everyone thought there was no new training method, Sun Wukong went to the God Realm to train with Popo and the gods, and then went to the underworld to walk the dragon road and train on the high-gravity Kai King Planet. Then there are the gravity room developed by scientists, and the spiritual time house.
Weight training has never been interrupted, from Master Kame's tortoise shell weight, to the weight-bearing clothes of the gods, to the final high-gravity environment.
There are also a lot of training in Naruto, but not as fancy as in Dragon Ball.
Naruto did a lot of basic training and was taught by Jiraiya. Later, he went to Myoboku Mountain to train fairy arts, and then trained to communicate with the tailed beasts. But in the end, he just stopped pretending and became the reincarnation of the son of the Six Paths Sage.
Although training can make the protagonist stronger, if the protagonist is a human, the upper limit is limited, and he will eventually encounter an invincible enemy. For example, Krillin in Dragon Ball, he and Son Goku became apprentices to Kame Sage, and finally became the strongest earthling, but in front of the powerful enemies of the universe, he can only be used as a sacrifice material for "teammates sacrifice to the sky, boundless mana", and cannot follow the footsteps of the Saiyans and fight all the way to the end.
Training cannot make people infinitely improve. After all, training cannot turn people into flying birds, swimming fish, or running leopards. This is the limitation of training.
Of course, "One Punch Man" is still not within the scope of this discussion. One Punch Man Saitama broke through the limit through physical training. He became bald and stronger. It was obviously a limited training, but it broke his limit as a human. Of course, many times Saitama did not realize that he was no longer a human. Even if he could fly to the moon, he still had to hold his breath. Even if he hit a mosquito, he would still miss...
Saitama has obviously broken through the limitations of humans, but he is still restricted in many cases.
Most of the time, it is impossible to change the essence by training alone.
"So at this time, you need something that can be unrestricted by the human body, either the bloodline of God or the power of metaphysics. Bloodline is very simple, the upper limit of the ancestors is high enough, so it can be continuously improved. The power of metaphysics is qi, domineering, fighting spirit, spiritual power, life energy, super props, etc., not only relying on the body, but relying on spiritual improvement. The stronger the will, the stronger the combat effectiveness." Duran said: "Of course, there is another way to 'stop being a human' and directly transform the human body."
Either look at bloodline, look at spirit, or look at transformation, these are the only three ways to break the physical limitations.
"The limitation of training is that it cannot change the nature of organisms, but if the other party is not human, then training can stimulate potential. Although there are many kinds of life forms in the sea, the upper limit of potential is not high. Of course, people who have eaten devil fruits are no longer human and cannot be counted in." Devil fruits are the transformation of the human body, which can break the upper limit.
"The problem is that there are many devil fruits. If everyone trains, it is impossible to ensure that the protagonist is the strongest fighter. Just like Sun Wukong and Vegeta both have Saiyan blood, everyone will wonder why Prince Vegeta can't beat Sun Wukong? The prince also trained hard and didn't slack off, why is he always not as good as Sun Wukong?" Duran said that when everyone has the same qualifications, how can the strong and the weak be distinguished?
Everyone has eaten devil fruits, who is stronger and who is weaker? According to the properties of the fruit, the natural system is definitely the strongest, and the superhuman system and animal system should be ranked behind. Then the awakened fruit is stronger than the unawakened one.
But Luffy didn't eat the natural system fruit, how can the weak defeat the strong? Just rely on developing the fruit? The problem is that the enemy not only has natural systems, but also has a large number of people and rich experience, and is stronger than Luffy in all aspects. Although Luffy can rely on attribute restraint to defeat the strong with the weak, his persuasiveness is getting weaker and weaker.
So Haki appeared, but the problem is that Haki will soon fade away, and everyone has it. So Haki was entangled again, but everyone will soon learn it, so Luffy became the sun god. But the enemies in the future may be this god or that god, all of them are fantasy beasts. At that time, Luffy will have to continue to upgrade, and it is estimated that it will still depend on bloodline.
In the final analysis, the question is, why can Luffy laugh at the end?
It's like asking 'Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born noble?' Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born noble? The answer is yes, yes, they are born noble. So why are they born noble? Because their ancestors followed the emperor to carry guns and fight, and they won the bet and became nobles.
Then the question is again, how did the ancestors of the nobles win? Why did they win and others lost?
This question was answered by Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian", who included Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the family. The family in the Records of the Grand Historian is the story of the noble family, so are Chen Sheng and Wu Guang nobles?
When Chen Sheng was young, he helped other people farm to make money. He was not a rich family. In the end, he was defeated and died, and his family had no inheritance. Obviously, he did not meet the requirements of aristocratic families.
Why could Chen Sheng and Wu Guang enter aristocratic families? Obviously, it was because Sima Qian needed to compare. Aristocratic families were not born. Many ancestors of aristocratic families were poor people like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, but why did Chen Sheng fail and others succeed?
Sima Qian was thinking about this problem. In the end, he concluded that it was because Chen Sheng did not implement benevolent policies after he became king, so Chen Sheng was defeated. Other aristocratic families implemented benevolent policies, so they succeeded.
Sima Qian was right. Without benevolent policies, there is no distribution relationship that everyone accepts.
Liu Bang was so weak, why could he become emperor? Because his distribution relationship was acceptable to everyone. Although Liu Bang himself certainly did not like it, his advantage was that he would compromise and distribute. Everyone followed Liu Bang, not because he was handsome, but because everyone was waiting for him to share money. Everyone knew that Liu Bang was generous.
Liu Bang had distribution, but Xiang Yu did not. In fact, it was not just Xiang Yu. The kings of different surnames that Liu Bang had enfeoffed were not distributed, so they were defeated one by one by Liu Bang.
So at the beginning, no one had bloodline qualifications, or had bloodline but was not noble enough. How could such a situation turn around? It needs to rely on benevolent governance.
Obviously, the depth of "Historical Records" is not comparable to that of hot-blooded comics. The protagonists of hot-blooded comics still have to rely on ready-made qualifications, and will not think about how a person without qualifications can defeat the strong with the weak.
