Chapter 397: Mr. Oda Bets on His Guess!

Oda Shingo said that Kurokawa Rumiko would make mistakes based on some inferences about the plot of "Ranma 1/2".

Because he has been paying attention to this new comic, and even carefully analyzed the differences between it and the other world.

Then he found that the similarity between the two reached more than 90%, but there were differences due to the author's age group, different times and different cognition of China.

For example, in the part of Ranma on Earth, the description of China is basically rural. And Kurokawa in this world obviously has a much higher understanding of China, knowing that China's development in many places has far surpassed Japan.

For example, the clothes of the tour guide in Juquan Township are not the old-fashioned ones, but the more fashionable ones. And in the specific plot, the tour guide directly used Japanese spoken language for real-time translation, but the protagonist and his father Genma, two careless people, did not hear clearly what the tour guide said and fell into the cursed spring.

Since the development of the whole story is almost the same, Oda Shingo is very sure to infer that the mistakes of the original "Ranma 1/2" will reappear in this work.

There is a view that as long as the probability is not zero, what is supposed to happen will always happen. Therefore, the mistakes of the original work on Earth will also appear even in the parallel world.

Of course, the so-called "errors" of the original work may not be considered mistakes in the 1980s and 1990s of the last century, and may even be an important part of enriching the plot and strengthening the conflict. But in 2024...

It's 4202, and many plots of this classic have become poison points for many comic fans due to the different times!

In the tug-of-war between the Demon King's Army and the Saint's Army for several consecutive days, the Yahoo Comics rankings became the biggest battlefield.

The heat has risen, the discussion is unprecedentedly fierce, and comic critics also like this atmosphere very much.

Traffic + likes win-win, everyone is very happy.

Shanpu has long been ranked first in the list of the most popular female characters in comics.

"Pay attention, the name of this white cat girl is Shanpu, and she is currently ranked first in the list of female characters in the comics!"

Some people have noticed that in the ranking of comic heroines, Gao Mu's ranking has gradually approached Shanpu!

"The second place is the heroine of "Teasing Master Takagi-san". The third to fifth places are the female elf, the female brave and the ice girl of "Uncle in Another World"..."

After Shanpu fell into the cat drowning spring and turned into a white cat, her popularity did not decrease but increased, showing a stronger momentum than the heroine on Earth.

As for the female characters of Oda Shingo, because the votes were scattered, especially "Uncle in Another World" had four aunts, ahem, three.

The so-called third aunt is the merchant leader who was forced to wear a ring in the uncle plot. He was only on the list for a short time. Everyone voted happily out of the mentality of a fun person, which made this character socially dead.

If this merchant leader knew that he not only made a fool of himself in front of the first, but also was pushed to the list as the "third aunt" by tens of thousands of votes, he would probably dive into the swamp and drown himself.

Although Shanpu is not the heroine, she is the first sister on the list, which is usually a common situation in popular comics. Especially in love comics, if the heroine or supporting actress is charming, there will be a wide audience of comic fans.

Shanpu's popularity is higher than that of the heroine, and it is also common for the second female character to be promoted in comics.

In the 2020 Japanese media survey on Earth, Shanpu is still one of the ten most popular female characters, which shows how popular she is. After all, it is a work from more than 30 years ago, and it can still be forgotten by comic fans.

The next day.

When discussing the new comic with Oda Shingo, Saburo Mikami asked casually: "Can I put your opinion that Kurokawa Rumiko will make a mistake on the front page?"

"Sure, believe me. But don't give her a chance to correct it. Just like last time, post it on the official website the night before the release of "Jump."

"You are so bad." Saburo Mikami couldn't help laughing, "You didn't tell me the specific reason for the mistake."

"What's wrong with me? Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to yourself." Oda Shingo didn't take it seriously at all, "Just write the specific content "Kurokawa Rumiko is too eager for plot conflicts and will accidentally draw a male character who shouldn't appear." This sentence is enough."     "Okay! Let me see if you dare to say that, is it right or not!"

At 8 o'clock on Sunday night, when Qun Ying Sha delivered the latest "Jump" magazine, the official website of Springfield Bookstore suddenly released a banner message.

[Teacher Oda appreciates Ranma 1/2, but thinks that Teacher Kurokawa pursues plot conflicts too much and may accidentally draw a male character who shouldn't appear...]

This is the gist of the article.

The official website of Springfield Bookstore also has millions of visitors every day. After all, it is a large website, and the homepage banner quickly spreads the news among the fans.

[Teacher Oda actually said bad things about Teacher Kurokawa? ]

[I think it is a comment, or a direct expression of his own opinion. ]

[Don't worry about Teacher Oda's personal behavior, I just want to know if what he said is right? ]

[Teacher Kurokawa is a powerful man who has dominated the comics industry for many years. Would he make a mistake? ]

[Teacher Oda said so. ]

[I bet 50 cents that Teacher Oda's original words may not be like this, maybe it is a wrong report. ]

[Teacher Oda is the pillar of Springfield Bookstore. The manuscript must have been reviewed and even passed the first and second reviews, how could it be wrong? ]

When the fans were in disbelief, Oda Shingo's personal YouTube account also sent a message: [Kurokawa teacher will make mistakes. ]

The number of words is not large, but it directly acknowledges the official information of Springfield Bookstore.

The comics industry was immediately in an uproar.

This is equivalent to publicly betting! The new issue of Qun Ying Sha has not been released. Did it leak the latest serialized version?

But this is not the focus, but will Kurokawa teacher really make a mistake?

Comic critics are waiting hard, and editors are waiting hard.

The editors of Springfield Bookstore are looking forward to confirming Oda teacher's inference.

The editors of Qun Ying Sha are to avoid problems.

Especially the few people responsible for reviewing and proofreading.

But some of them have begun to feel bad.

When reading the latest chapter of Kurokawa teacher, there is always a feeling that something is not right.

But the manuscript came late, because it was difficult for Kurokawa teacher to publish two comics at the same time, and there was no way to force anything.

This also led to the editors not having time to discuss and review with each other. Based on the trust in the old comic author, the manuscript was passed.

Of course, even if she found a problem, would there really be an editor who would dare to ask her to revise the manuscript?

Impossible! Who dares to provoke the powerful? If he gets angry, he can make him pack up and leave with just one word!

Some editors of Qun Ying Sha started to sweat...

Many comic fans have already known Oda Shingo's inference, and are also waiting for the latest serialization content of the new issue of "Ranma 1/2"...

Could Oda's bet be right? Could Kurokawa really make a mistake?

Sunday.

When the latest subscription page of Qun Ying Sha's official website was refreshed, Oda Shingo read the latest plot of "Ranma 1/2" for the first time, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth...
