Chapter 505 The Uncrowned King
In this way, the plot of this episode ends. However, the amount of information in this episode can be said to be explosive.
First of all, everyone was originally immersed in the sadness of Ayanami Rei being stabbed by Lin Qingshan.
But not long after, Ayanami Rei was "resurrected", which made the audience have some mixed emotions.
In the previous plot, everyone probably knows that Ayanami Rei is a clone and has many copies.
So this Ayanami Rei is still a clone, not really resurrected.
Later, a lot of information appeared in the mouths of Ikari Yuantang and Seele.
What are the twelve EVAs that compare to the Twelve Saints, and what are the final sacrifices, the last moments recorded in the Dead Sea Documents.
These are filled with a wealth of information.
But the most abundant information was actually the one where Misato forced Ritsuko to take her deep underground into the NERV headquarters.
Here they saw the EVA graveyard. Neither Unit 0 nor Unit 1 was the original EVA.
They are just the first successful EVA, and EVA itself is a "human" made by humans to imitate the appearance of the god "Adam".
Humans wanted to steal the power of the gods, which led to the tragic events of the Second Impact.
Later, he imprisoned the gods, created EVA, and triggered the apostle attack.
Then they saw it again...
Ayanami Rei does have many clones, and they are also consumables for the puppet's insertion plug.
Ritsuko also said that they are just containers without souls, and Ayanami Rei will always have only one soul, and because of this, in a sense, Ayanami Rei is not dead.
Her soul will keep transferring, but every transfer is like a new reincarnation.
This can be considered a good thing, at least Ayanami Rei is not really dead.
Later, Ritsuko confirmed that she fell in love with Ikari Gendo just like her mother Ako.
Even a child can understand it, but Ritsuko's daughter also falls in love with Ikari Gendo. This is a puzzling thing.
"Both mother and daughter like the same man? And Ikari Wei also likes Ikari Yuantang, and Ikari Yuantang doesn't look handsome either."
"Ahhhhhhhh I don't understand why Ritsuko likes such a bad old man."
"Yes, there is such a big age gap. They are all at least twenty years old. How could Ritsuko fall in love with the commander? Is it because he doesn't take a shower because he is too old?"
"Is there a possibility that Akako is actually several years older than the commander, so the age gap between Ritsuko and the commander is not that big."
"We know that Shinji Ikari is sixteen years old, the commander must be thirty-eight years old, and Ritsuko seems to be only 30 years old now. It seems that there is not a big gap!"
"I checked the official information and found that the commander is 48 years old..."
"That's okay. The commander is almost fifty years old, almost twenty years younger, and Ritsuko can even like him."
"This is probably because women don't love men unless they are bad. Commander, in fact, from our God's perspective, he is quite inhumane, but in the animation, his personality charm is still very strong, right?"
"Huh? Charming? Quite inhumane? A poet from the Wanquan Department!"
"Personal charisma... Whenever the commander comes to a few famous scenes, or even wins thousands of miles away while talking and laughing under micro control, I believe that he has charisma. But which time does it not rely on Shinji Ikari?"
"That's wrong. It depends on Unit 1. It's Xiangxiang in good times, Shinji Ikari in bad times, and Unit 1 in desperate times."
"It really is the commander's charisma. Maybe we the audience can't see it, but for the characters in the play, the commander's charisma should be very prominent."
"Yeah, it can't be that Ikari Yui, Ritsuko and Akako, the three highly educated women, are all blind ()"
"It's possible."
"Well, it's not impossible..."
…
After everyone complained about the fact that Ritsuko also fell in love with the commander, the audience began to talk about other settings that followed.
"So the apostles kept attacking humans in order to save Adam?"
"So, in fact, the apostles didn't think about destroying human beings. The main reason was that human beings sought their own death and captured Adam."
"Isn't this how humans have always been? For their endless greed, they commit all kinds of deaths..."
"As recorded in the Old Testament, Eve (human beings) could not resist the temptation of the snake and ate the fruit of wisdom with Adam. Then the Holy Lord was furious and expelled her from the Garden of Eden."
"Human beings are like this. They are greedy and want to steal the power of gods."
"It's very similar to "Protoss". It's all a tribute. It's unlikely that Itchy Mouse will really join the production of this drama."
"Wrong, if itchy rat comes, he will let the male protagonist fall in love with Ayanami Rei ()"
"I think it's senior sister - referring to Misato. Although Rei Ayanami died for Shinji Ikari, Shinji Ikari still loves Misato ()"
"Don't tell me, it smells like that."
"Shinji Ikari and Shuai Zai have similar personalities, but it's obvious when you look at the differences. Shinji Ikari will also be confused, but he never loses control at critical moments, and he will dare to fight you even if you risk your life."
"Qingshan Old Thief never disappoints in terms of characterization of the protagonist."
"I just like the protagonists written by Qingshan Laothief. They may always lose, fail, and be cowardly, but in the end they will always hand over an answer that makes people feel no regrets."
""Gods" was drawn by the old thief Qingshan... I can't even imagine how beautiful this story is. It's a pity that Itchy Rat ruined "Gods"!"
"That's not to say. If it were old thief Qingshan, he might not have been able to draw the plots of the gods in the middle two chapters of "Clan of Gods", and Itchy Mouse is not that unbearable."
"The "Protoss" has been cut in half! Don't worry about your X "Protoss"."
""EVA" seems to be coming to an end in two or three episodes. How do I feel... there are still many settings that are confusing."
"Yes, Adam is here, but where is the second apostle Eve?"
"Perhaps he is leading the apostles, the mastermind behind everything, and is preparing to launch a general offensive to recapture Adam?"
"That's not right. Eve is one of the original sins. How could she really help the apostles, that is, the Holy Lord?"
"Ahhhhhh I'm so anxious!! Why can't "EVA" be finished at once?"
"Don't tell me, I actually want to..."
…
The audience's hot discussion about "EVA" remains high. At the same time, "EVA" and "Fate Stay Night", two popular dramas on Station C, have accomplished an unexpected feat.
That is...
"Station C's premiere on-demand drama has exceeded 100 million views! "Neon Genesis Evangelion"! Congratulations on breaking the record!"
"The genius cartoonist Aoyama once again proved that he is... the best ACG creator of our time!"
"Revealing the key to the popularity of "Neon Genesis Evangelion", the reason turned out to be because of him!"
""Fate Stay Night" has exceeded 100 million on-demand views again! The genius cartoonist Aoyama has become a mass-producer of masterpieces!"
"A mental patient, a hair-cutting maniac, a genius cartoonist, and the youngest doctor ever. Why is this cartoonist so outstanding?!"
"The two games have exceeded 100 million views, and cyberpsychosis is coming again!"
"Perhaps, Aoyama has become a new generation of comics master! Following masters Osamu Tezuka, Liao Shanming and Phoenix Academy, he is another recognized uncrowned king!"
…
Various titles on the Internet boasted about the topic, especially "EVA" and "Fate Stay Night", two popular dramas on Station C that were marked as Lin Qingshan's original work, and exceeded 100 million.
Lin Qingshan was immediately promoted to the altar.
This time, the major media no longer simply named Lin Qingshan the first cartoonist of the younger generation, but compared him with the previous three generations of cartoonists.
The most important thing is that Lin Qingshan not only made "EVA" and "Fate Stay Night", but also relied on the advantages of the Internet in recent years to achieve an unprecedented number of over 100 million views for a series.
His other works are also quite famous and excellent. Among the comic works, "Edge Walker", "Fire Fist", "Goodbye Eri", "Parasite", and even "The Strange Fairy" which is still being serialized and has not yet been officially "Chainsaw Man" is finished and temporarily suspended.
Each of his comic works has received rave reviews, including the least popular "Parasite" and "Goodbye Eri", which is only a short story. Both of them have excellent reputations.
Other derivative works, such as Nolan's film of the same name based on "Edge Walker", as well as games and animations, are all huge IPs.
Now "Edge Walker" is really about to release a second part. Although this time it is a completely original script by Nolan, the IP copyright still belongs to "Edge Walker".
Therefore, in terms of the commercial value of his works, even the uncrowned kings of previous generations of comics cannot compare to Lin Qingshan.
There is also Lin Qingshan's "part-time" original animation in recent years, "Ze!" Although "Crimson Eyes" is a bit deliberate, it still has its flaws.
"Ghoul" fully demonstrates the concepts of opposition struggle and mutual respect, as well as its smooth plot, and its popularity and reputation are also quite good.
The following "Fate Zero" is a direct battle to become a god. Lin Qingshan's comic fans believe that it is a masterpiece that can be compared with Lin Qingshan's comic works.
The current "EVA" also has this trend.
As for "Fate Stay Night", although it inherits the popularity of the previous game "Fate Zero", its excellent production is obvious to all.
In short, what Lin Qingshan has really achieved so far is enough to compete for the position of the new generation of uncrowned king in the comics industry.
Mainly, there is currently no one who can compete with him. The author of "True Dragon God's Selection", Ku Xuan, is a cartoonist of Feng Yiyuan's generation, and it is impossible to compete with Lin Qingshan for the position of the uncrowned king.
And not to mention that he is actually the background board all year round.
Yang Shuzhun, who could have been a competitor, is now cut in half due to the loss of "Protoss", so this possibility is basically gone.
Although his new work "Jiuzhou Lu" is really quite good.
But I can clearly feel... there is a big gap between him and Lin Qingshan.
Therefore, the comments from viewers and netizens are almost all one-sided——
"Invincible! Old thief Qingshan!"
"What? Old thief Qingshan is going to become the king of comics after the Phoenix Institute?! Well, it's not surprising at all."
"It's really not unexpected, but I always feel that there is still something missing from the old thief Qingshan..."
"One less migrant worker comic that completely breaks the circle... and this one is missing."
"Osamushi Tezuka's "Black Jack", Liao Shanming's "Dragon Ball" and Phoenix Institute's "Purple Air" are all epoch-making comic works."
"Every work of Qingshan Old Thief is excellent, but it just feels too short."
"Isn't "The Strange Immortal" good? I think "The Strange Immortal" can already be compared with "Purple Energy Comes from the East".
"It's still a little bit worse, and I always feel that "The Strange One" is very weird and has a lot of niche audiences, so it shouldn't be compared with "Black Jack", "Dragon Ball" and "Purple Energy"."
"That's true, but I still think the old thief Qingshan deserves it."
"The main thing is that the plot arrangement of Qingshan Old Thief cannot be too long. All his male protagonists are different from you. They grow up very fast and cannot slow down at all."
"Yes, that's why I like this kind of male protagonist. He grows up quickly and can quickly become a truly responsible warrior, instead of just looking like a stupid young man after hundreds of chapters..."
"I suspect you are a certain cartoonist, but it's not a long-form comic, and the protagonist has to be a fool all the time."
"You can also be a fool, but don't be a coward. Sun Wukong is also a fool, but he is always responsible and keeps fighting."
"Don't worry, how old is the old thief Qingshan? There will be many opportunities to create comics in the future."
"Old thief Qingshan is actually thirty-four years old this year. He is actually at his peak creative stage."
"Ah? Old thief Qingshan is in his thirties this year? He looks like a college student?"
"She is really thirty-four years old, but Old Thief Qingshan really takes good care of herself. I'm envious. Could it be that the webmaster helps me take care of my skin every day?"
"I also want the webmaster to help with daily skin care."
"You're thinking shit!"
…
In short, most comic fans and netizens have no objections.
Mainly, Lin Qingshan's character design is likeable, and his works have a very good reputation.
His strength and commercial value are obvious to all, and there are not many other cartoonists of his generation who can compare with him.
For older cartoonists, the commercial value of their cartoons is not as good as that of Lin Qingshan.
Among cartoonists of the same generation, only Yang Shuzhun was able to do some good work, but he was cut in half.
As for younger cartoonists... I can only say that Akumi Shita's "Journey Return" has this trend, and it is currently heading towards a masterpiece. (Not even before Gojo Satoru cuts him off in half.)
It's just that everyone knows that Lin Qingshan's former comic assistant, according to the tradition of the comics industry, was Lin Qingshan's former disciple and student.
Students versus teachers?
That's a little unconventional.
Therefore, Lin Qingshan's title as the Uncrowned King was basically decided.
And just when Lin Qingshan also knew about these comments, Ayumi Ito called him.
"Moses Moses."
Lin Qingshan answered the phone in his big villa and asked, "Bumi, what's the matter?"
"Teacher, it's like this... our new deputy editor wants to meet you."
Ayumi Ito said nervously, "This is the new deputy editor-in-chief airborne from above. He is a squid man. It is said that he wants to negotiate a new contract with you..."
