Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 505 The Uncrowned King
The plot of this episode ends here, but the amount of information in this episode is explosive.

First of all, everyone was immersed in the sadness of Ayanami Rei being stabbed by Hayashi Qingshan.

But not long after, Rei Ayanami was "resurrected", which made the audience feel complicated.

In the previous plot, everyone roughly knows that Rei Ayanami is a clone and has many copies.

So this Rei Ayanami is just a clone and she is not really resurrected.

Later, a lot of information came out from Gendo Ikari and Seele.

What about the twelve EVAs corresponding to the twelve saints, the final sacrifice, and the final moments recorded in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

These are filled with tons of information.

However, the most information actually came when Misato forced Ritsuko to take it deep underground into NERV headquarters.

Here they saw the graveyard of EVAs. Neither Unit-0 nor Unit-01 was the original EVA.

They are just the first successful EVAs, and EVAs themselves are "humans" created by humans imitating the appearance of the god "Adam".

Humans wanted to steal the power of God, which led to the tragic event of the Second Impact.

Later, he imprisoned the gods, created EVA, and triggered the apostle attack.

Then they saw...

Rei Ayanami does have many clones, and they are also consumables for the puppet insertion plugs.

Ritsuko also said that they were just containers without souls, and Rei Ayanami only had one soul forever. And because of this, in a sense, Rei Ayanami was not really dead.

Her soul will keep moving, but each move is like a new life of reincarnation.

This is also a good thing, at least Rei Ayanami is not really dead.

Later, Ritsuko confirmed that she, like her mother Akako, fell in love with Ikari Gendo.

Even a child could understand it, but it is puzzling that Ritsuko, the daughter of the emperor, also fell in love with Ikari Gendo.

"Both mother and daughter like the same man? And Ikari Yui has fallen in love with Ikari Gendou, but Ikari Gendou doesn't look handsome at all."

"Ahhhh, I can't understand why Ritsuko would like such an old man."

"Yeah, there's such a huge age gap, they're at least twenty years apart, how could Ritsuko fall in love with the commander? Is it because he's too old to take a bath?"

"Is there a possibility that Akako is actually several years older than the commander, and the age difference between Ritsuko and the commander is not that big?"

"It is known that Ikari Shinji is sixteen years old this year, so the commander must be at least thirty-eight years old. Ritsuko seems to be only thirty years old now, so it doesn't seem like there is a big difference!"

"I checked the official data. The commander is 48 years old..."

"That's fine. The commander is almost fifty years old. There's a difference of almost twenty years between them, but Ritsuko can still like him."

"This is probably because women don't love bad men. The commander is actually quite unkind from our perspective, but in the animation, his personality charm is still very strong, right?"

"Huh? Personality charm? Quite inhuman? The poet of Wanquan tribe!"

"Charisma... Whenever the commander has a few famous scenes, or even wins a battle thousands of miles away with just a little effort, I believe he has charisma. But when has he not relied on Shinji Ikari?"

"You're wrong. It's Unit-01 that counts. Xiang Xiang is in good times, Ikari Shinji is in bad times, and Unit-01 is in desperate times."

"It's really the commander's personal charm. Maybe we, the audience, can't see it, but for the characters in the play, the commander's personal charm should be very prominent."

"Yeah, it can't be that Ikari Yui, Ritsuko, and Akiko, three highly educated women, are all blind ()"

"Also a possibility."

"Well, it's not impossible..."

……

After everyone complained about the fact that Ritsuko also fell in love with the commander, the audience started talking about other settings later.

"So the apostles keep attacking humans in order to save Adam?"

"So, the apostles didn't actually intend to destroy humanity. It was mainly because humans committed suicide by capturing Adam."

"Hasn't this always been the case with human beings? They commit all kinds of horrible acts for their endless greed..."

"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 Lord was furious and expelled them from the Garden of Eden."

"Humans are like this. They are greedy and want to steal the power of God."

"It's very similar to 'Protoss', it's all a tribute. I don't think Yanyangshu has really joined the production of this anime."

"Wrong, if it was the Itchy Mouse, he would let the male protagonist fall in love with Rei Ayanami ()"

"I think it's the senior sister - referring to Misato. Although Ayanami Rei died for Ikari Shinji, Ikari Shinji still loves Misato the most ()"

"Don't say that, it smells like that."

"Ikari Shinji and the loser have similar personalities, but the difference is obvious. Ikari Shinji gets confused, but he never fails to deliver at the critical moment. He's willing to risk his life against you."

"Qingshan Laozei never disappoints us when it comes to creating protagonists."

"I like the protagonists written by Qingshan Laozei. They may always lose, fail, and be cowardly, but in the end they will always hand in a satisfactory answer."

"The Gods was drawn by Qingshan Laozei... I can't even imagine how good this story is. It's a pity that Yanyangshu ruined the Gods!"

"That's not the case. If Qingshan the old thief were to draw, he might not be able to draw the two middle chapters of "The Gods" that depict the deification of the gods. Itchy Mouse is not that bad."

"The Protoss has already been cancelled! Forget about your damn Protoss."

"It seems like EVA will be finale in two or three episodes, but I feel like... there are still many confusing settings."

"Yes, Adam is here, but where is the second apostle Eve?"

"Maybe he is leading the apostles and is the mastermind behind everything, preparing to launch a general attack to take back Adam?"

"That's not right. Eve is one of the original sins. How could she really help the apostles, that is, the Holy Lord?"

“Ahhhh I’m so anxious!! Why can’t EVA just finish airing all at once?”

"You know what, I actually wanted to..."

……

The audience's heated discussion about "EVA" remains high, and at the same time, "EVA" and "Fate Stay Night", two popular animation series on Station C, have accomplished an unexpected feat.

That is……

"C Station's first-run drama has surpassed 100 million views! Neon Genesis Evangelion! Congratulations on breaking the record!"

"Genius manga artist Aoyama has once again proved that he is... the best ACG creator of our time!" "The key to the popularity of Neon Genesis Evangelion is revealed. It's because of him!"

"Fate Stay Night has surpassed 100 million views again! Genius manga artist Aoyama! Has become a mass-producer of masterpieces!"

"A mental patient, a hair knife maniac, a genius cartoonist, the youngest doctor ever, why is this cartoonist so outstanding?!"

"Both works have exceeded 100 million views, cyberpsychosis strikes again!"

"Perhaps, Qingshan has become the new generation of comics master! Following the masters Tezuka Osamu, Liao Shanming and Fenghuangyuan, he is another recognized uncrowned king!"

……

There are all kinds of headlines on the Internet praising the two TV series "EVA" and "Fate Stay Night", which are marked as Lin Qingshan's original works and have exceeded 100 million views on Station C.

Lin Qingshan was directly deified.

This time, major media no longer simply named Lin Qingshan the number one cartoonist of the younger generation, but compared him with the previous three generations of comic kings.

The most important thing is that Lin Qingshan is not only involved in "EVA" and "Fate Stay Night", but has also achieved an unprecedented number of over 100 million views with the advantages of the Internet in recent years.

His other works are also quite famous and excellent, including the comics "Edgewalker", "Fist of Fire", "Goodbye Eri", "Parasyte", and even the "Dao Guiyisen" which is still being serialized, and "Chainsaw Man" which has not been officially completed and is just temporarily suspended.

Each of his comic works has received rave reviews. Even the least popular "Parasyte" and "Goodbye Eri", which is just a short story, have excellent reputations.

Other derivative works, such as Nolan's movie of the same name adapted from "Edgewalker", as well as games and animations, are all super big IPs.

Now "EdgeWalker" is really going to have a second part. Although this time it is a completely original script by Nolan, the IP copyright still belongs to "EdgeWalker".

So in terms of the commercial value of the works, even the uncrowned kings of comics in previous generations cannot compare to Lin Qingshan.

There is also the original animation that Lin Qingshan has been "part-time" in recent years. Although "Akame ga Kill" is a bit deliberate, its flaws still outweigh its merits.

"Ghoul" fully demonstrates the concepts of opposition and struggle, mutual respect, and its smooth plot also makes it quite popular and well-received.

The following "Fate Zero" was immediately praised as a masterpiece, and Lin Qingshan's 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 inherited the popularity of its predecessor "Fate Zero", its excellent production is also obvious to all.

In short, Lin Qingshan has truly achieved what he has now, to the extent that he can compete for the position of the new generation uncrowned king in the comics industry.

The main reason is that there is no one who can compete with him at the moment. The authors of "True Dragon God's Selection" are all cartoonists of Feng Yiyuan's generation, and it is impossible for them to compete with Lin Qingshan for the position of the uncrowned king.

Not to mention that he has actually been a background figure for many years.

Yang Shuzhun, who could have been a competitor, has basically lost the chance now because of the cancellation of "The Protoss".

Although his new work "Jiuzhoulu" is really good.

But I can clearly feel that... there is a huge gap between him and Lin Qingshan.

Therefore, the comments from the audience and netizens are almost one-sided -

"Invincible! Old thief Qingshan!"

"What? That old thief Qingshan is going to become the king of comics after Fenghuangyuan?! Well, it's not surprising at all."

"It's not surprising, but I still feel like there's something missing from that old thief Qingshan..."

"It's missing a completely popular manga... this is it."

"Black Jack by Osamu Tezuka, Dragon Ball by Liao Shanming, and Purple Air from the East by Fenghuangyuan are all epoch-making comics."

"Every work of Aoyama Laozei is excellent, but they just feel too short."

"Is 'The Strange Dao of Immortals' not good enough? I think 'The Strange Dao of Immortals' can be compared with 'Purple Air Coming from the East'."

"It's still a little bit off, and I always feel that "The Taoist Immortal" is very weird and niche, so it should not be compared with "Black Jack", "Dragon Ball" and "Purple Air from the East"."

"True, but I still think Qingshan the old thief deserves it."

"The main reason is that the plot arrangement of Qingshan Laozei can't be drawn for too long. His male protagonists are all unwilling to dawdle with you, and their growth rate is very fast, and there is no way to slow down."

"Yeah, that's why I like this kind of male protagonist. He grows up quickly and will soon become a real responsible warrior, instead of being a foolish young man for hundreds of chapters..."

"I suspect you are implying something about a certain cartoonist, but it's not like you are drawing a super long comic, and the protagonist has to be a fool all the time."

"It's okay to be a greenhorn, but don't be a coward. Sun Wukong is also a greenhorn, but he is always responsible and keeps fighting."

"Don't worry, Qingshan the old thief is only a little old. There will be many opportunities to create comics in the future."

"Actually, Qingshan Laozei is already 34 years old this year, and he is actually at the peak of his creative career."

"Ah? Qingshan the old thief is over 30 years old this year? Why does he look like a college student?"

"He is really already 34 years old, but Qingshan Laozei has indeed maintained himself well. I am so envious. Does the webmaster help him with skin care every day?"

"I also want the site owner to help with daily skin care."

"You're thinking shit!"

……

In short, most comic fans and netizens have no objection.

The main reason is that Lin Qingshan’s character is likable 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 the same generation who can compare with him.

As for cartoonists with more experience, the commercial value of their comic works cannot compare to Lin Qingshan’s.

Among the cartoonists of the same generation, only Yang Shuzhun was considered capable of fighting, but he was cut short.

As for younger manga artists… I can only say that Akutami Gege’s Jujutsu Kaisen has this trend, and is currently on its way to becoming a masterpiece. (Before Gojo Satoru’s plot was cut short.)
It’s just that everyone knows that Akutami Gege was Lin Qingshan’s former comic assistant. According to the tradition of the comics industry, he was Lin Qingshan’s former disciple and student.

Students versus teachers?
That's a bit unconventional.

Therefore, Lin Qingshan's title of the uncrowned king was basically established.

Just when Lin Qingshan learned about these comments, Ito Ayumi called him.

"Moses Moses."

Lin Qingshan, who was in his big villa, answered the phone and asked, "Ayumi, is there anything wrong?"

"Teacher, it's like this...our new deputy editor-in-chief wants to meet you."

Ito Ayumi said nervously, "This is the new deputy editor-in-chief from above, the Squid Man, and he wants to discuss a new contract with you..."
