How can I let go of the matter of saving my stepsister?

"How do you feel about becoming the strongest?"

After wreaking havoc in the town for a while, amid the sudden evacuation alarms rang out everywhere, the elder brother asked his younger brother how he felt about possessing supreme power and becoming a giant.

The first half of the sentence was asked by the brother, and then the second half was asked by another voice, the voice of the protagonist.

The protagonist asked him what he felt after becoming the strongest.

Such a question did not receive an answer. He appeared hundreds of meters in the air without anyone noticing, and appeared on the other side of his brother's shoulder. He instantly realized that the person in front of him was a hero who could kill him in an instant, and the elder brother quickly instructed his younger brother -

"Kill the guy on your shoulder!"

My younger brother was very obedient and immediately patted me on the shoulder when I heard that.

that is......

“Hahahahaha~”

Even if it is a thousand or ten thousand times, the audience will still laugh out loud and be overwhelmed by the surprising plot development of Sato Yukan.

On the left shoulder is the older brother with beautiful hair, and on the right shoulder is the bald protagonist. As the "strongest" ones who have both lost their hair, the younger brother chose to protect his bald companion and slapped his brother's left shoulder.

Then, his expression became horrified. He spread out his palms and looked at them. His body shook and he let out a roar of extreme grief.

"elder brother!!!"

"Why is this happening!"

After gaining the strongest power, he killed his beloved brother with his own hands just because of a negligence!

The giant was deeply saddened.

"I just wanted to be the strongest man, and I just became the strongest..."

His eyes suddenly became fierce. Although it was his own fault, the giant still chose to punch the protagonist to vent his anger.

"Even though I don't know you, you killed my brother!"

Shouting, the giant grabbed the protagonist and threw him to the ground, slamming him into the mud with a dazed look on his face, and then stepped on him.

The giant was still not satisfied with the flying of dirt and rocks, and vowed to crush the protagonist into powder. He swung his iron fist at high speed, leaving behind a series of afterimages.

Boom boom boom boom, even though it is broadcast in the form of a black and white comic, you can still feel the strong power mixed in the movements, and the extremely strong explosive tension of the storyboards.

"Ugh!!!"

With a deafening roar, while the audience was watching with bated breath, the giant threw one last punch, and his huge fist smashed into the screen, knocking some viewers who were too fascinated by the show off their chairs, and also blasting a huge hole in the ground in the comics.

"Hoo~ho~ho~"

After experiencing such a cruel blow, the protagonist wouldn't really die.

The previous moment they felt that the result could be seen at a glance and they were feeling bored, but at this moment, after watching with bated breath the superb storyboards that showed Sato Yu's full power, the audience's muscles tensed up, worrying about the life and death of the protagonist.

This is the kind of emotion that can only be aroused by a transcendent picture that is gorgeous enough, captivating enough, and terrifying enough. In the process of watching animation, the audience rarely sees this, and sometimes such a picture cannot be found in the entire season.

But now, using only such a low-quality medium as black-and-white animated comics, Sato Yu has achieved such an effect.

Is this young artist's ability to draw action scenes a little too strong?

For an artist of daily life animation to challenge the authority in action scene animation, most people would think that Sato Yu was too arrogant and unreasonable. But now, this idea has been completely shaken!

[Those who said Sato Yuu’s fighting scenes are not good, get out! ]

[With just this picture, what does the dog bark at? ]

The supporters who once stood up for Sato Yu had been bullied for a long time, and the injustice in their hearts was released at this moment. They clamored in the barrage, so the opponents stood up to confront them, and the barrage environment seemed to be getting filthy again.

But soon, the wave of opposing barrages subsided quickly.

There is no time for confrontation, the plot is at its most exciting moment!

The originally passionate BGM suddenly changed, becoming soothing and lyrical, conveying the touching sadness that music can convey.

In the empty fields and among the ruins, a giant figure hundreds of meters tall stood alone.

The blue sky can only serve as his foil. In this picture, the camera's field of view is extremely far, extremely far.

He is the only one left in the world.

This is another wonderful storyboard. Looking at this picture, a sense of loneliness arises spontaneously, a loneliness that even the audience can empathize with.

In this lonely world, the giant spread out his palms, his vision became blurry and clear, and then blurry again.

Compared to the huge palm, there was only a tiny stain of blood quietly flowing in his palm. There were no bones, no flesh residue, only the fragments of a white coat and light green pants to prove that his brother had once been alive.

"...So, what?"

With his back to the sun, his body was shrouded in shadow. In the dark outline, a tear slipped out of the giant's eye.

“So empty.”

The meaning of being the strongest may not be to conquer the world, but to laugh with your brother and gain his approving look for being the strongest.

The background narrative of the giant brother and the scientist brother is actually not long, and there are not many interactions. There is no clear statement as to why the younger brother wants to be the strongest, but now, the audience has imagined it this way.

Under the strong emotional rendering, they have already felt the sadness of the giant brother.

"Yes."

Amid the sadness, the protagonist's emotional voice suddenly sounded, which lifted people's spirits.

In the deep pit, there was the dull bald man with dead fish eyes again. The protagonist rushed into the sky like a rocket and smashed the giant's skull with one punch, just one punch.

"Overwhelming power. Very boring."

The tone of voice was troubled, and although he performed the amazing act of killing the giant in one second, the look on the protagonist's face was so helpless, without any trace of joy of defeating the monster.

"Being invincible, all you get in the end is endless loneliness."

After seeing this passage, Totani Kota said blankly in front of the screen.

For several minutes, the main perspective was on the monster brothers. In the shortest time, Sato Yu portrayed the feelings of the brothers quite fully, and all of this portrayal was attributed to the protagonist in the last scene.

The desire to become the "strongest" has been achieved, but the "invincible" giant is so empty, so where is the real strongest, the truly invincible protagonist?

At this moment, the audience suddenly understood why the protagonist with an oval face, dead eyes and a dull look looked so dull.

Because, boring.

How do you feel after becoming the strongest?

At the beginning, when the protagonist asked the question while standing on the shoulders of a giant, the audience suddenly had the answer in their hearts.

"It seems that the evil forces in this world will never disappear. Even after I became a hero, the world remained unchanged. In other words, I did not bring any impact to society."

Although the giant is dead, his fallen huge body still destroyed the city. Walking alone in the town that has become a ruin, with only the bald head shining brightly in the night, the protagonist tells his thoughts alone.

“I don’t feel bad about it, but now I have a problem, my feelings are disappearing day by day.

Fear, tension, joy, anger, I can't feel any of these.

Is it because I gained power but exchanged the most important thing for a human being?"

While telling the story, the protagonist encountered the weirdo again, but he still just stared at the weirdo calmly with his dead fish eyes, and then knocked him down with one punch, without any waves on his expression or in his heart.

"In previous battles, my chest was always filled with all kinds of emotions, fear, anxiety, anger... Now I can solve it with just one punch."

One Punch Man.

In stark contrast to the "Azure Blue" comic, which seems to involve diving but cannot fill up a full episode with diving scenes in the entire season, in the animated comic "One Punch Man", Sato Yu is always on topic.

Initially, the audience thought that this was just a fun and funny show, a fast-food story that one could predict the ending and imagine the process at a glance, and that would make it difficult to be interested in watching again after watching it once.

Now, the feeling is completely different.

After obtaining the strongest power, what are you going to do and what do you want to do?

The giant brothers have set an example. Since they have the ability to know everything, they must become the supreme being, get rid of all moral constraints, become emperors on earth, and do whatever they want.

This should be the inner thought of most people. It is precisely because of this that the idea of ​​a protagonist who is invincible yet still ordinary, hidden from the world, and who will stand up in times of crisis is even more valuable.

Even if you are invincible, you still choose to be a hero.

"Wow, what a touching story, what a perfect characterization. It's only been twelve minutes, but the protagonist's image has been fully revealed and established, and it has completed the character development that many series cannot achieve in an entire season."

It is funny and thought-provoking. The pictures and the story are light-hearted and interesting, but the core is quite profound.

In recent years, there don't seem to be many anime that can compare with this one in terms of story quality.

It's just a black and white cartoon.

In front of the screen, pinching his chin, Kota Totani expressed his emotion, which immediately led to discussion and interaction among the audience on the barrage.

[In terms of storytelling, Sato Yu is far ahead of most directors in the industry. Whether it is the final episode of Sister Not Sister, "Azure Blue", "5 Centimeters per Second", or the current "One Punch Man", he can always tell a good story.]

[Speaking of which, the supervisor is mainly responsible for the story and overall planning. Whether the fighting scenes are well drawn or not doesn't really matter. The painters can just make up for it. With this in mind, it was really disgusting that Masashi Umezawa used his senior status to drive Sato Yu out of the company. ]

[I agree. Even though he is a senior, Masashi Umezawa still went too far.]

[Sato Yuu has fully demonstrated his ability as a supervisor]

The insults are few and far between, and seeing as how audiences are now convinced by the story of One Punch Man and his talent as a supervisor, they are slowly starting to come around to him.

So far, the reputation has improved a lot? Has the goal been achieved?

He would never be satisfied. Hiding in the live broadcast room and watching the reactions from the barrage, Sato Yu's mouth curled up, as if he was determined to win.

Once upon a time, in order to increase his fame, he once hoped to gain everyone's recognition as a director, but now, after encountering the Masashi Umezawa incident, what he hopes for is the recognition of the audience as a painter!

We are just getting started. Don’t rush to speak up for him, the fun is yet to come.

At this point, his show has just begun!

On the screen, the scenes flip, the protagonist goes home, eats, watches TV out of boredom, takes a bath, goes to sleep, and spends the day alone.

And the next day, boom!

It's a new day, a new crisis, a new monster, and the protagonist is about to set out to kill the monster again, but...

【Huh? 】

As the audience posted more and more doubtful comments, all the audience noticed something unusual - the picture was moving.

It's not the comics that are moving, it's the pictures that are moving, it's the animation that's moving!

The rigidly moving cartoons are transformed into smooth-moving animations, and the dull world is no longer so black and white...

On this new day, the world is suddenly full of colors!

Skirt~

Volume 124: Chapter Chapter . That, the reason why he felt empty

"One Punch Man" is Sato Yu's counterattack against his predecessor Masashi Umezawa.

But what? A black and white animated cartoon?

of course not.

Animation, at this moment in the middle of the animated cartoon, Sato Yu inserted an animation! He also has a hidden trick!

What will be the main theme of this move? Without a doubt, it will be fighting scenes!

The newcomer who challenged his predecessor is about to start showing off his skills. Let's see how far this guy can go.

With such a thought flashing through their minds, the audience, whether sitting or lying in front of the screen, couldn't help but adjust their posture to watch the following fighting scenes with a more serious attitude.

boom!Boom!

Still, the familiar voice came first, and then strangely, amid the loud noise, a big hand suddenly broke through the wall and grasped the sleeping protagonist.

The dirt and rocks flew everywhere, and the snot bubble hanging from the tip of the protagonist's nose burst. Before the giant hand came, he narrowly avoided the attack...

No! The smoke and dust cleared, and the protagonist's bald head was grabbed by a giant hand, but he quickly turned over and slapped it away with a palm. Then, another punch came from outside the house, hitting him, and he was knocked out of the house from the other side with a groan of pain.

Then, the protagonist flew backwards in the air, turned sideways, and landed on the ground with his foot brake.

"Oh, that's not bad."

In an apartment somewhere in Tokyo, Oya Hideki, who had reconciled with his first love girlfriend because of a phone call on the night of the release of "5 Centimeters per Second", hugged his girlfriend who also opened her eyes wide and exclaimed "Wow", and gave positive comments on this fight scene.

The same scene also occurred in the homes of viewers watching "One Punch Man" in various places.

From the conflict, to the exchange of moves, back and forth, to the final smooth landing, this segment is very clean, neat, smooth and silky, making people nervous while also feeling refreshed in their hearts, whether it is the storyboard design, the character movements or the handling of earth, rocks and smoke.

But the calm was only temporary. Just as the audience was amazed and the protagonist exclaimed "My house", a black shadow jumped out from the ground and punched the protagonist. Although he reacted in time to resist, he was still knocked out by the huge force, flying backwards in the air, and was smashed into the bridge pier before he barely stopped.
