Chapter 181 "Soul of Chess" finale and new pressure
The "God's Hand" finally appeared in the short story "The Great Change of Go" in "Soul of Chess"!
The content of the entire manga that was foreshadowing was born under the pressure of AI!

When they saw the hand of God, the readers were all excited.

"I have been watching "Soul of Chess" since 1994, and finally this day has come!"

"Looking at Hikari Shinto and Sakai's "Hand of God", I was really touched, tears in my eyes. "

"Under the strong pressure of AlphaGo, Ah Guang continued to pursue a breakthrough, and finally made a miraculous dig!"

"This is the victory of mankind!"

This is not a move learned from a battle with a strong enemy, but a move played when the dignity of the chess player is maintained, which is extraordinarily romantic.

After a long time, when many people think of that cartoon, they are still so moved that they have goosebumps all over their bodies.

Listening to Yang Sen's explanation, Gu Li was very moved.

"From Ogata Seiji's discovery of the AlphaGo loophole, through Taya Ryo's temptation, to Shindo Hikari's outburst, this is not a personal victory, but the indomitable and powerful spirit of professional chess players in the face of AI."

"That's right." Yang Sen nodded, "It's also because of this that many frustrated chess players understand the principle of perseverance."

"What's more... artificial intelligence will definitely have loopholes."

Gu Li scratched his hair and understood the work more and more.

"So, what happened after that? There are still two chess games."

Yang Sen's expression turned cold.

"We lost the next two rounds," he said, "AlphaGo's loopholes were fixed in time, and Shinto Hikari was not his opponent. In the human-dog battle, he lost by a big score of 1:4."

Coulee was not surprised by this result, it was quite normal.

"And there is the final story, about the future of AlphaGo."

"In [-], the AlphaGo research team found the top chess player at that time, the Chinese Ke Cupping Jiuduan."

Gu Li's expression twisted, "Ke Cupping, what kind of weird name is this?"

"After all, the author is Japanese." Yang Sen shook his head, "In the current Go situation, he believes that in 2017, Chinese Go has the upper hand, so he chose Chinese players."

He continued: "A year later, AlphaGo was upgraded and played 100 games with the previous AlphaGo. The result was 100:0, all victories."

It's only been a year, and Coulee's expression has become serious.

How much progress can a chess player make in a year?

And AI has evolved.

The huge gap between the two is really a frightening fact.

"The strongest professional chess player, pulling his hair to compete, shedding tears on the way, still playing chess persistently, and losing all in the end..."

"This is the future of Go?" Gu Li was unwilling.

"In the future, some chess players will find new artificial intelligence loopholes, but that is not important anymore," Yang Sen said.

The "Great Go Revolution" ends here, and the content about Ke Cupping is only the last two pages, which are drawn lightly and are a prediction of the future.

"However, I think Mr. Akino's idea is that chess players and artificial intelligence will continue to be entangled, just like light and light, growing and promoting each other..."

"Professional chess players with artificial intelligence will be much stronger than they are now, and it is precisely because of the needs and challenges that artificial intelligence can continue to update and pursue the path of thorough research on Go."

After Yang Sen finished speaking, Gu Li heaved a sigh of relief, "Maybe that's it."

After the comic ended, he felt lost and could not calm down for a long time.

"What a fantastic story."

……

"The Great Change of Go" is over.

Big hand in spring and before the game.

Odagiri closed the booklet, his expression changed from regret to sharpness.

He understands that the story of Hikari Shinto is over, and the story of "Soul of Chess" is also over.

From then on, there will be no connection between Niao Akino and Go in the future.His indissoluble bond with Go, from now on, only himself is left.

"Teacher Higashino, watch carefully." Odagiri said silently in his heart.

When Higashino entrusted him with his Go path back then, Odagiri already had enough determination.

Now, this determination is even more profound.

"I will get No.1!"

……

Akira Yamazaki is live on TV.

Because of the popularity of "The Great Change of Go", the TV program also urgently launched an explanation section of the chess game in the comics.

Provides the latest insights as each episode of the manga progresses.

Thanks to this, the ratings have been rising steadily.

Today, the ratings of the most important game of chess in the comics have broken the record of the show and reached a height that can no longer be surpassed.

In the program, Akira Yamazaki explained the thinking of Akino Akino when drawing manga, because there are only a few pages about the chess game, she can only speak according to her own understanding.

"Shito Hikaru's idea is to play chess against the loopholes of AlphaGo, which shows that Mr. Akino Bird believes that artificial intelligence has clear limitations."

After this episode, Akira Yamazaki took off his headset and sat down tiredly.

Her career has reached a new height, but she is not happy at all. She began to regret that perhaps she should not have urged Akino Tori to serialize "The Great Change of Go".

"Goodbye, Higashino-kun."

Yamazaki thought silently.

The teenagers who have known each other since [-], the two of them studied Go together and studied Xiu Ce Liu Xia's method.

These years of playing chess with him are fond memories of Akira Yamazaki.

But in the future, the boy named Higashino no longer needs to draw manga, and he will gradually drift away from Go...

"Goodbye……"

……

Higashino felt a lot more relaxed after "Great Change of Go" ended. Some time ago, he drew the plot of "Funny Manga Day and II", and he had to double-draw manga, so he was exhausted.

However, at that time, he drew vividly and vividly, telling the future world relying on comics, and also brought a successful conclusion to his own path of Go.

The next step is to let go of the burden, go into battle with ease, and devote ourselves to the serialization of "Slam Dunk".

At this time, Endo Tetsuya called him.

"Mainland China has introduced the "Soul of Chess" animation!"

It's good news right from the start.

"Soul of Chess" is not restricted in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Benefiting from the Chinese cultural circle, the audience has a general understanding of Go.

Starting from Taiwan, China, then Hong Kong, South Korea, Vietnam...

Now the mainland has also introduced it, and "Soul of Chess" has been fully rolled out, and the influence of this work is becoming more and more amazing.

"That's great news," Higashino replied.

The ratings of this work are very good in these regions. As the author, Hibiki Higashino has made a lot of money from copyright.

Endo Tetsuya invited Higashi Higashi to a dinner, and Higashino was very distressed. Why do you have dinners so often in this place in Japan?Declined politely.

"I still want to draw manga, and I really don't have the time."

Endo Tetsuya understood him very well, then said not to disturb, and then hung up the phone.

……

The short story of "Soul of Chess" is very good. If it is not for the reason of "Slam Dunk", Kazuhiko Torishima really wants Higashino to change the short story into a full-length novel.

"The sales of short booklets reached 30 copies within a week, which is simply a miracle in short comics."

He was really lucky to meet two top cartoonists one after another.

"Ms. Toriyama also said that he is creating a new work." Kazuhiko Torishima had a smile on his face, bursting into unexpected ecstasy.

Whether the jump is extremely good, maybe it will surpass the previous peak!
Thinking of this, he looked at the report in his hand.

""Yu-Gi-Oh" got Xiaozheng No.3 this week!"

Kazuhiko Torishima was a little shocked. This work, which was highly recognized by Akino Tori, has been serialized for more than half a year and has been lukewarm. This word suddenly became popular with readers?

He looked up at the editors at work. Yoshihisa Yoshihisa, the editor of "Yu-Gi-Oh," was standing respectfully beside Sasaki Takashi, listening patiently and nodding from time to time.

After they finished their work, Torishima Kazuhiko called the bottle and asked about the latest situation of "Yu-Gi-Oh".

"Yes, I have been paying attention to this point," Bottle adjusted his glasses and said, "According to my judgment, it has something to do with the previous game design."

The results of "Yu-Gi-Oh" fluctuate greatly, depending on how exciting the game is designed.

In the ninth game, Takahashi and Nozomi introduced their favorite monsters into the cards, and the players decided the winner through the rules of the card game.

"The name is "Magic and Wizardry Cards", which is similar to Magic: The Gathering, so it is highly competitive. "

Torishima Kazuhiko nodded, he had an impression of that remark and was well received by readers.

But Takahashi and Xi went to draw other games again, and the good results were only short-lived.

Thinking of this, Torishima Kazuhiko suddenly understood.

"The future of "Yu-Gi-Oh" imagined by Akino Tori may lie in this "Magic and Witchcraft Card"! "

"Yes," the bottle nodded, "so when the main line was not popular, I made a suggestion to let Teacher Takahashi and Xi focus on the "Magic and Witchcraft Card", and now it is showing results. "

"You did a good job." Torishima Kazuhiko nodded in satisfaction.

Bottle Jijiu is also a talent, he is full of talents now, and he has everything he needs.

……

After Higashino finished his work, he finally had free time to read jump.

He has been paying attention to "Game King".

When "Yu-Gi-Oh" was serialized to Chapter No. 12, there was finally the card duel he was familiar with.

It is also in this episode that Kaiba Seto made his debut.

Accompanied by Haima, there is another classic card - Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
Blue Ace crooked Dragon!
Seto Kaiba, who debuted for the first time, is a complete scumbag. Before the monster card duel, he switched the card of Grandpa Yugi Muto.

In the subsequent dark duel, he was picked up by "Muto Yuki".

Readers also like Higashi Higashi's very special episode. In that episode, "Yu-Gi-Oh!" Xiaozheng's score is as high as No.2, just below "Slam Dunk".

However, for Takahashi Kazuki, the card game is just one of the very common games, and his goal is on more games.

Then the grades dropped.

Readers didn't buy into the mainline game he set up by himself, and Higashino just flipped through it hastily.

In the final analysis, apart from the card game, the plot or the artistry of "Yu-Gi-Oh" is not as exciting as Higashino imagined. It can only be said to be an extremely mediocre work on Jump.

At this point, Takahashi and Nozomi finally returned to the creation of "Magic and Witchcraft Cards" under pressure.

Seto Kaiba has made a comeback, and Higashino has already been able to initially see the style of Kaiba in the future.

He couldn't help but feel a pressure in his heart.

The current era of jump belongs to Higashi Higashino and Mirai Akino Tori.

But beneath the splendor, there was already a raging undercurrent.

"Yu-Gi-Oh" on the right track,
"One Piece" is about to start serialization.

These two works are all promising.One is the value of IP, and the other surpasses "Dragon Ball" in terms of book sales, each of which is not easy to mess with.

"Starting to prepare the storyboard for serialization?" Oda called cheerfully.

The short story "Romance Down" has a good score and is highly anticipated by the editors.

There is no doubt that the setting of "Romance Down" is an undeniable bloody and kingly comic.

There are adventures, efforts, struggles, friendships, pirates and devil fruits, etc. to attract readers.

"I'm looking forward to your work."

Oda is now in the bag, and Qifeng recommends himself.

Seeing him cheering, Higashino was happy for him, but at the same time became nervous.

At this moment, the phone rang, Higashino looked at the caller ID, it was Akira Toriyama.

He hasn't called for a long time, and the two men rarely communicate on the phone. Every time they talk, they always have something to say.

"Hey, Toriyama-sensei, why are you free to call?"

Even if Akira Toriyama does not serialize "Dragon Ball", he has not been idle.

The work exhibition, the character design of "Dragon Ball GT", and the setting of the game characters, as for other scattered work, and then it continues one after another.

In his position, it's hard to be idle.

"Niao Qiuye, I'm so quiet that I want to move." He said.

Higashino sounded a "thump" in his heart, what does this sentence mean?
He asked, "Teacher, are you ready to draw manga?"

"Yes," Toriyama replied, "Looking at your comics, "Slam Dunk" is also the same, and "Go Revolution" is also the same. With the passion and emotion of the works, I can't help but recall the original intention of drawing comics. .”

Create freely without being influenced by others.This is what Akira Toriyama has always wanted to do.

"Congratulations, teacher." Higashino replied.

He didn't know if Akira Toriyama really had a new serialization. For Akira Toriyama, the former Higashino only knew "Dragon Ball".

So it may be because of his own influence that Akira Toriyama continued to create.

Knowing this, Higashino became even more stressed.

Even "Slam Dunk" cannot maintain its dominance under the works of these monsters.

Higashino put down the phone, and Oda seemed to have heard it.

"Is Master Toriyama going to create a new work?"

"Yeah." Higashino nodded.

"Great!"

Oda who may be serialized, Akira Toriyama is his competitor, but Oda is not worried, and cheers excitedly.

Looking at him, Higashino was stunned.

　Thank you, in short, Xiaosi is a very cute reward.
