Chapter 658 The Original Monkey King!

"It turns out to be an adventure fighting comic."

"Hahahahaha! Erotic Sento, no, Kame Sento is too funny!"

"It looks like a good texture."

"I don't doubt the quality of the old thief's work, but how can such a work become a masterpiece?"

…

Many anime fans have asked this question.

It is true that the entire early plot of "Dragon Ball" was obviously carefully designed by the old thief, and it is also quite exciting. However, it doesn't look like a masterpiece. The early story revolves around Bulma trying to get the four stars owned by Goku. Dragon Balls and takes Wukong on a journey to find the Dragon Balls.

During this journey, Sun Wukong, who is born with supernatural powers, defeated evildoers many times and met friends such as Oolong, Leping, Turtle Immortal, Bull Demon King and his daughter Qiqi.

"It seems like the plot of "Dragon Ball" won't take long to be written!"

"Yeah, I'm a little curious about how the old thief will handle the subsequent plot..."

"Could it be that the plot of collecting the Dragon Balls is just a teaser?"

"The old thief's plot...you should never guess."

With the popularity of "Dragon Ball", thousands of anime fans began to discuss the early plot!

But what is surprising is that in episode 12, all the Dragon Balls have been collected. This is something that almost all viewers did not expect!

According to normal logic and animation production ideas, this can almost be made into a whole medium-length animation, which revolves around a series of stories that the protagonist group went through in collecting the Dragon Balls.

In fact, Lao Zei used this plot mode before in his original "Sword of Immortal" series. At that time, he was collecting five spirit beads.

While searching for the last Dragon Ball, Wukong and others were robbed by Pilaf's gang and were imprisoned.

Later, Wukong transformed into a giant ape due to the full moon and had his tail cut off. But at the critical moment when the Dragon Balls were gathered and the dragon sacrificed himself, Oolong made a wish first!

And what's even more outrageous is that this wish is just for a pair of underwear...

When seeing this plot, it can be said that any anime fan in the world has a dumbfounded face at this moment.

They suddenly felt that their minds were blank and buzzing, and they had no idea what the old thief was thinking.

They originally thought that the entire anime should be about Goku going through all kinds of hardships to collect the Dragon Balls, making a wish to see his dead grandfather, Sun Wuhan, and so on, and acting passionately, but judging from the plot presented now , completely off track!

"I'll go!"

"Shenlong:?"

"Shenlong: I've never heard such a strange request!"

"WTF! What plot direction is this? Why can't I understand it?"

"Who can understand? This is only about ten episodes. Is it possible that we want to collect the Dragon Balls for the second time?"

Because the wish was made, the Dragon Balls dispersed, but the plot direction that followed exceeded everyone's expectations.

The best martial arts club in the world! !

This can be said to be the first climax plot in the early and middle stages of the entire "Dragon Ball"!

In the subsequent plot, Wukong found Kame Sennin to study under him. Along with Wukong, there was also a bald little monk named Klin. Under Kame Sennin's training, their strength increased dramatically!

In the blink of an eye, eight months have passed, and the plot has reached the world's number one martial arts club!

"Holy shit!"

"The wonderful thing is coming!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! The best martial arts club in the world, masters from all walks of life gather here, it's exciting just thinking about it!"

"Why am I so excited!"

…

The World's Best Martial Arts Tournament is one of the iconic plots in "Dragon Ball". It is invested and organized by unknown wealthy people in order to select the best master in the world.

Every World No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament attracts countless top martial artists from around the world.

It can be said that Dragon Ball was introduced by the World's Best Martial Arts Society and gradually transformed from a comedy comic to a fighting comic. It is held every five years. At that time, masters from all over the world will come to compete for the top spot in the world!

Among entertainment works, the classic plot of "game" is enduring and eternal.

Whether it is in novels, animations or TV series, even "Harry Potter" has several key matches in it, not to mention online novels, there are even fantasy novels, and there are many key matches in the whole novel. Most of the plot is a competition!

It is true that the plot of the "match" is the most descriptive and the most mindless, but it is the plot that has the highest audience and the most loved ones to watch. Firstly, because the plot is simple, and secondly, because it is exciting enough!

If you want to have a deep conversation, there will be much more to talk about.

The first is that the reaction of bystanders will become a natural plot point.

What is the reaction of bystanders? For example, when two masters show off, if there is no "audience", the overall plot effect will be greatly reduced. Even the classic showdown between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng in the previous life has bystanders marveling at it.

Because of this kind of wonder, the impact and fighting effect can be infinitely amplified.

The game is inherently a stage, and the audience is just like the onlookers, watching from the perspective of a bystander. This is why some reaction videos of Reaction are so popular on major video platforms nowadays.

The second big reason is because this is the "protagonist's stage"!

In almost all games, there is no protagonist who does not shine. This kind of plot is a great point in itself.

The plot of "Dragon Ball" about the world's best martial arts club is completely different from conventional competition writing!

As readers have said, according to normal logic, with Wukong's current strength, it is very likely to win the championship. However, the author of this work is an old thief. If he is an old thief, something may happen.

Everyone still remembers the youthful regret that Xiangbei failed to reach the top 8 in the final battle of "Slam Dunk"!

…

Sure enough, when the content of Tenkaichi Budokai arrived, "Dragon Ball" once again exploded on a global scale!

With Sun Wukong's current strength, it shouldn't be much of a problem to get first place, but this time Wukong and Krillin encountered a super strong opponent in the game-Jackie Chan!

This Jackie Chan is actually Kame Sennin in disguise. He is worried that Wukong and Krillin will be proud of their improved strength, so he specially disguises himself to participate in the competition to dampen their spirits!

The result was a huge disparity in strength, causing Goku and Krillin to lose to the old man in front of them in the finals and semi-finals respectively. This was the end of the plot of the world's best martial arts club.

In the content of the first episode of "Dragon Ball", there are a total of three parts. The first part is the search for the Dragon Balls, the second part is the Tenkaichi Budokai chapter, and the third part is the Red Dan Bandai Legion chapter!

After the three parts of the content are over, Goku will truly grow up and participate in the world's best martial arts club for the second time. Of course, these are the highlights of the second season.

…

The popularity of "Dragon Ball" around the world is so high that it exceeds many people's expectations!

It's obviously not a complicated plot, but why is it so attractive to the audience?

In addition to the humorous style, one thing that must be mentioned is the depiction of fighting scenes in "Dragon Ball". Several battles, especially the battle in the World's No. 1 Budokai, where Sun Wukong tried his best to fight the disguised Kame Sennin. It can be said that the audience's blood is pumping!

You know, in ordinary plot situations, there must be some kind of motivation and reason for the audience to have such emotions.

For example, this battle is a matter of life and death, or there may be other reasons why they have to fight.

But the depiction of the fighting scenes alone can make the audience so excited. This is the first time. This is also the reason why "Dragon Ball" can be called the first masterpiece of comics in the previous life.

Even today, in terms of fighting storyboards, there is nothing even comparable to Dragon Ball.

This is the strongest point of "Dragon Ball", and it is also the sad point of other fighting comics.

In addition to this key reason, there is another important reason, and that is the character of Sun Wukong! !

…

Before "Dragon Ball" was officially broadcast, audiences in various states were extremely curious about the mythical character Sun Wukong. After the release of the old thief's new work "Journey to the West", Xiazhou's cultural output was brought to all parts of Kyushu!

When any book or film or TV series is spread around the world, it will naturally export local culture.

Generally speaking, if the local traditional culture is too deep, it will have limited influence around the world. As for the magically modified Sun Wukong in "Dragon Ball", even Xiazhou, which attaches great importance to traditional culture, does not resent the existence of such a Wukong.

In fact, although it is said that "adaptation is not random fabrication, and drama is not nonsense", the key lies in the two words "Ran" and "Hu". In the entire "Dragon Ball" story, there is no slander on the image of Sun Wukong. In addition, The above is created by an old thief, so it is naturally more inclusive.

And if you want to find the most original Sun Wukong that meets the audience's expectations, then this "Journey to the West" must be a classic work that Xiazhou readers must read!

Even though everyone knows that Lao Zei's writing level has reached a new level, but when "Journey to the West" was officially released, readers still gasped when they read "Journey to the West"!

"Damn it! This writing level!"

"Damn it, why is it more obscure than "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? I know every word, but I can't understand it when you put it together!"

"Made, just the catalog of Journey to the West and the names of each chapter are beyond what ordinary people can write down."

"My mother asked me why I was kneeling down to read a novel..."

…

It’s really not surprising that readers are making such a fuss. It’s really because the text of “Journey to the West”, one of the four famous works of the past, is too obscure. Normal readers can understand some semi-classical Chinese, but the text from the beginning of “Journey to the West” , which sets the tone of this book.

[Gai heard that the number of heaven and earth is one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years. 】

[One yuan is divided into twelve groups, which are the twelve branches of Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai. 】

"emmm——"

"What does this mean?"

"Suddenly I regretted that I didn't study well in junior high school..."

"Damn it, even my college students have trouble reading..."

"Who knows what this sentence means? Halfway through the winter solstice, Heaven's heart has not changed. Where is the first movement of the sun, when all things are not yet born?"

"hiss……"

Readers originally came to read this book with high expectations, but after just reading one chapter, they felt that they were two heads above water and that their brains could not keep up with their needs...

The reading threshold of this "Journey to the West" is definitely the highest among all the works of Lao Zei, and even less than 20% of the people in Xiazhou can understand it at the first time, not to mention the readers in Jiuzhou. Although they understand the language of Xiazhou, classical Chinese is simply a book of heaven to them.

However, in fact, normal Xiazhou readers with a certain level of culture can understand this book as a whole even if they cannot understand the meaning of every sentence.

"It is definitely a book that can represent Xiazhou!"

"Just like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!"

Many scholars got excited when they saw this book!

And Zhu Xiahua was one of them!

Nowadays, Lao Zei can be said to have received official attention from Xiazhou for every book. For a long time, Sun Wukong, including the entire traditional mythology, has not had a complete and valuable novel to connect them together.

Lao Zei must have seen this gap in Xiazhou culture and wrote this "Journey to the West".

In this case, this "Journey to the West" must be outstanding enough.

Chapter 1: The spiritual root breeds the source and flows out the mind and cultivate the great way.

Chapter 2: Understand the true and wonderful principles of Bodhi, eliminate demons, return to the origin and unite the primordial spirit.

As the first batch of readers read deeper, except for those who could not understand it at all, other readers who could read it halfway have been immersed in the story of "Journey to the West".

And the main perspective of the story is the Monkey King, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong!

"This is the story of Sun Wukong stealing peaches!"

"Hahahaha! Sun Wukong froze these fairies just to steal peaches!"

"Classic Bi Ma Wen!"

"The old thief connected some popular mythological stories together and used such wonderful and profound words to narrate them!"

"Damn, although I don't understand it very well, it's written so well!"

"Damn, this old thief is too talented, the poems and songs in just one chapter are so awesome!"

"When will he make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace!"

...

Even if the reading level of ancient Chinese is average, readers can still judge the quality of the words in this novel at a glance!

In addition, the storyline is familiar and strange to readers, so they naturally read it with great interest!

After Sun Wukong went to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to steal the golden hoop, and then went to the underworld to force the sale of the Book of Life and Death, after a toss in the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor was furious and sent the Four Heavenly Kings to cooperate with Li Tianwang, Nezha Prince and many star officials to capture him!

Before this battle started, just by reading the text of "Journey to the West", you can feel the oppression of the heavenly soldiers and generals!

It can be said that: [The yellow wind rolled and covered the sky, and the purple mist covered the earth. Just because the demon monkey deceived God, the saints were sent to the mortal world. ]
