Dad's comic life

nameI finished reading it very quickly.

This work is about the invasion of aliens called Celestial beings at the end of the Edo period. The war between the people on earth and the heavenly beings broke out immediately, and a large number of warriors and patriots from the anti-barbarian faction participated in the battle against the heavenly beings.

After the shogunate saw the powerful strength of the heavenly beings, they signed an unequal treaty with the heavenly beings without authorization and allowed them to enter the country. Later, a sword abolition order was issued and the samurai's swords were taken away. Since then, gods have been arrogant and the shogunate has become a puppet government.

Although it looked a bit strange, they understood very well that what the porter drew was the story after the Black Ship Incident at the end of the Edo period, and it also touched them as a Sakura country.

The Black Ship Incident was the founding of Sakura Country and the origin of pain.

A feudal country that closed itself off after the Tokugawa shogunate was broken by Western ships and artillery. The subsequent political revolution triggered a struggle between the so-called anti-barbarian faction and the reformist faction.

Regarding the overall feeling of this work, the first feeling of Chijuzo and Yui Yui is that it is a mess, as if all the themes that would be attractive if listed individually have been gathered together, but it has turned into a strange work with four different characteristics. .

But, it’s really beautiful!

The extremely exaggerated performance and hilarious stories filled with complaints deeply touched their point of laughter and kept their mouths shut from the beginning to the end.

No matter how broken the protagonist and supporting characters are, they can still move you where they should.

One second it can make you burst into tears, the next second it can make you laugh so hard that your heart breaks. The constant unfolding of the story makes people complain and feel helpless.

Of course, it is not only funny, but also touching.

Just like some words in comics.

"A warrior doesn't need any great principles to do things. As long as there is something you want to protect, just draw your sword."

"A man is a boy until he dies."

Senjizou had to admit that he was moved by the Gintoki portrayed in Porter's "Gintama".

In the chaotic world in "Gintama", Gintoki always implements the Bushido he insists on.

Like a small white flower that strives to crawl out of the filthy mud, it brings a fragrance to this turbid world.

but……

The spirit of Bushido in this Gintama seemed different from what he knew.

The Bushido of Sakura Country attaches great importance to the precepts of the ruler and his ministers. "The king is not a monarch" (the ruler is tyrannical and unruly), and "the minister is not a minister" (the minister is not a minister). Loyalty is an absolute value.

Generally speaking, the spirit of Bushido is promoted for the country, so there are so many samurai who commit suicide in minutes.

But the Bushido spirit of the protagonist in this manga is different.

He did not choose to protect everyone, but chose to protect his small family, because in his opinion, the country was in tatters and no matter how much protection was used, it was useless, and the one who truly loved him was his companions and this small family.

As the comic says: "The sky? The country? It doesn't matter if I give it to you. I'm already busy enough just to protect what's in front of me, and I can't even protect it. I can't even count how much I've lost so far. Anyway, I've already I have nothing, and when I see something dropped, I pick it up and keep it.”

It can be said that it is completely different from the Bushido in his impression.

so……

Senshijizou looked at Yui Yui beside him.

I wonder if Yui Yui can accept this kind of bushido?

"call……"

Just as Senjuzou thought, Yui Yui was indeed entangled with the spirit of Bushido in the comics drawn by Hao Ren.

But she is not entangled with the Bushido spirit in Gintama. After all, she is not that kind of rigid person, otherwise she would not have thought of mixing the Bushido spirit with comedy.

Now he is thinking about the Bushido spirit conveyed by the Porter in Gintama.

In her opinion, the spirit of Bushido in Gintama has a new look. It is not allegiance to the feudal monarch, nor is it a bloodthirsty national instinct.

It is about protection and inheritance, self-reflection and self-transcendence, the battle between oneself and the past, and the gentle transformation from the old era to the new era.

"etc!"

Yuno Yui was suddenly stunned for a moment.

Then I picked up the name and looked at it again.

From a superficial glance, it seems that it is exactly what she thought it was, protection and guarding, that is, dedicating oneself to protect others in times of danger.

But if you think about it carefully, Gintoki is actually protecting himself and his soul.

From the rough name, we can see that what this work conveys is a fallen warrior who is lonely, running, constantly moving forward, for the sake of important people and things, and unyieldingly resists the cruel era of day and night.

Samurai require everyone to put reputation first, even above life, so once they lose the battle, they will kill themselves and live up to their reputation.

But in Yuno Yui's view, this kind of behavior is very stupid. How can you risk your own life for fun?

The spirit of Bushido also advocates loyalty, trustworthiness, integrity, martial arts, and honor! In the end, it wasn’t the so-called samurai class that overthrew the feudal shogunate?

After all, times have changed!

From Yui Yui's point of view, she quite agrees with the sentence in the comics: "A samurai does not need to have any rationale for doing things. As long as there is something you want to protect, then just draw the sword."

Why stick to the Bushido prepared by others? Live according to the way you think is beautiful, protect what you want to protect, and implement your own bushido. This is the true samurai!

After a while, Yui Yui put down the comic in her hand and looked at Hao Ren: "Thank you, Mr. Porter, I like this work very much!"

"Really?" After hearing Yui Yui's words, Hao Ren nodded with satisfaction: "As long as you like it!"

"But, Mr. Porter, I have a question for you."

At this time, Yui Yui suddenly raised a question: "Isn't this work a tragedy?"

After all, in his opinion, the Shinsengumi, the Ghost Soldiers, and the Shogunate, all added together, it seems that the end of the protagonist group should not be very good in the end?

Especially with Mr. Porter’s character, who likes depressing works, he is likely to cause trouble in this work. If he hadn’t mentioned this in advance, he might have been tricked by this guy!

"Tragedy? How is it possible?" Hao Ren gave a thumbs up to Yui Yui, showing his white teeth: "What a touching ending!"

At most, in the manga, characters like Tokugawa Shigemo, Sasaki Isaburo, and Okita Mitsuha die to make fans cry a little!

He is not a devil, so how could all his works be depressing?

but……

Hao Ren touched his chin.

It seems that we can try to use Xiaoyu's false memory in the original finale of the previous life as the finale.
