Water Margin Card
Like many people, my collection of cards began with the Water Margin card, which was about the first half of 2000. At that time, I was not in elementary school, I couldn't even write my name, I initially collected this because I thought the card face was good, and then I looked at the data specifically, and then I learned to recognize words. There is also an interesting thing in this, when my next-door neighbor was in the fourth grade, he said that Lin Chong was Japanese, because the first sentence of the character introduction was "Tokyo 800,000 Forbidden Army Godhead", fortunately, my brother had already told me that this Tokyo is not the Tokyo of Japan, otherwise he really believed him.
But this set of cards really has a little bit of a relationship with the Japanese. It is said that the young master of the Unification Group first accepted a set of japanese painter Masako Koya's three kingdoms and felt that he loved it, but he was sad that Chinese culture was carried forward by the Japanese. At that time, ZhengziGong also planned to produce a set of painting scrolls of Water Margin, so he suggested to his father that he summon the painter to produce a set of Water Margin hero cards to compete with Zhengzi Gongye's album, so he had this set of works.
The overall quality of the cards is good, but it is easy to see that some of the characters are references to other works, such as Hu Yanzhao and Meng Kang, who refer to Hattori Hanzo and Shou beheading Sharo in Samurai Shodown, while Lin Chong simply imitates Lin Chong in the legend of Masako Gongya.
It is worth mentioning that the Unification Group sponsored the broadcast of the Japanese cartoon Zhonghua Yiban at that time, named Zhonghua Xiaodangjia, and then changed the title of the character in the play to the name of its products, the protagonist Liu Pleixing was called Xiao Dangjia (Xiao Dangjia crisp noodles), the heroine Zhou Meili was called Toot Toot (Toot Toot Sausage), the heroine's father Zhou Yu was called the first master (and the first dumpling), and the protagonist's friend Tang Sanjie was called A Q (A Q barrel noodles). Thanks to the fact that the Internet was not yet developed at that time, it is estimated that this kind of operation is expected to be scolded to death by netizens. However, because the influence of this version of the animation in the mainland is too high, twenty years later, the Chinese side funded the production of a remake of the animation, although the character changed back to the original name (it is estimated that many people will not know what they were originally called after watching this version), but the animation is still called the kitchen god Xiaodang, this wave should be a victory of unification.
Many of the characters of the Chinese little boss are based on the Water Margin, and the nickname of the villain simply comes from the good man of Liangshan, such as Yizhang Qing Xiang'en and Jinmao Tiger Roco. Moreover, the author, Yuji Toyokawa, is also a fan of Masako Koya, and even pays tribute to the water margin of the painted scroll in the work, and the world line has tightened the belonging to yes.
When the card was launched, the CCTV version of Water Margin was very influential, but the set of cards referred to more of the original work, after all, the CCTV version of Water Margin lacked too many plots. The fourth-ranked Gongsun Sheng has a very cool look and an attack power of 95, so I was curious about what he looked like in the TV series, and I didn't look at it from beginning to end. Wu Song's attack power is 88, so when I watched the TV series Ximen Qing and Wu Song fight back and forth, I think Ximen Qing's attack power is estimated to be 85. The more impressive thing was fan rui, the demon king of the mixed world, because there were few attacks in the hell that could reach 80, but Fan Rui, who ranked 61st, actually had an attack power of 90, which was one of the strongest characters.
It is said that in addition to the good man of Liangshan, there are six evil people in the set of water margin cards, but I don't know whether it is because it is too late or the place where I stay is too remote, and I have never bought these cards. At that time, the small boss of the unification group and the little raccoon were all out of this set of cards, the small boss was a small card, the little raccoon was a big card, and the double part cheated money. The little raccoon also put an advertisement on CCTV, and when I was just in elementary school, I once took out the cards in the advertisement and posed for the TV, and now I think it is really shameful.
Three Kingdoms Card
This is the same door as the Water Margin Card Master, and it is also a small boss and a small raccoon. Behind each card is a character introduction and ability points, including attack, defense, intelligence, as well as formation, class suitability, and the card author should be a fan of the Glorious Three Kingdoms series.
Compared with the Water Margin, even the ground brakes are painted wildly and coolly, the treatment gap between the Three Kingdoms is extremely large, the main characters are not only domineering, each person has more than one image, the secondary roles are drawn more casually, and the small roles are extremely obscene. Personally, I like Cao Cao's style of wine and song very much, and when I was making an image set of the three kingdoms in the eyes of the three kingdoms the year before, I used this picture for myself in Cao Cao's eyes.
The author of this series is estimated to be a fan of Zhao Yun, because Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's attack power is 3400 but Zhao Yun's attack power is 3500, and Zhao Yun's image is very special, actually white hair style plus dual-wielding equipment, holding a gun in his left hand and a green sword in his right hand. At that time, the PS1 game Devouring Heaven and Earth 2 Chibi Battle was particularly hot in our town, and the bosses of the fifth level were Chun Yu Dao and Yan Ming, both of whom were public faces who were killed by Zhao Yun on the Nagasaka Slope, but their strength in the game was very strong (the blood bars were several lines). I couldn't wait to look over the ability value after drawing the cards of Chun Yu Dao and Yan Ming, and found that the attack power was only 1900, and the author really respected the original...
This series did not collect many people, nor did it last long, and it was a bit of a pity to see many cards on the Internet that I had never seen at the time.
In addition, at that time, there were also cards from Journey to the West and the List of Gods, and I also collected them for a while. Among the four famous works, only the Dream of the Red Chamber has not been carded, and sure enough, there is no market for this thing among primary school students...
Jin Yong Card
Collected two series of Laughing Pride Jianghu and Tianlong Eight Parts. Xiao Ao Jianghu is a live-action card, at that time 01 Li Yapeng's version of Xiao Ao Jianghu was being broadcast nationwide, which was The first time Zhang Jizhong supervised the production of Jin Yong drama, it is estimated that it is the largest investment in all Jin Yong dramas, because it is broadcast on CCTV, so it has triggered a wave of chasing dramas among the people of the whole country.
Out of this series is the Tigers crisp noodles, the card surfaces are all used TV series stills (most of them are not copyrighted), the entire series has only 40 pieces. This set of cards is estimated to use a TV series setting, for example, the attack power of Fox Chong is actually inferior to That of Yue Buqun.
Tianlong Babu is a cartoon card, using the shape of a Hong Kong comic, and some characters have different images like the Three Kingdoms Card. At that time, the 03 Hu Jun version of tianlong eight parts had not yet been broadcast, but the 97 Huang Rihua version was already a household name, including my old father who had seen Li Yapeng's version of Xiao Ao Jianghu and Huang Rihua's version of Tianlong Eight.
Because the network has not yet been popularized and the network transmission signal problem, at that time everyone was mainly chasing dramas on TV, followed by spending money to rent discs, because children are strictly controlled to watch time, so many dramas are watched a little bit, communicate with each other to know what they did not watch the part of what they said. And many times I know the relevant experiences of many characters and the final ending by looking at the character introductions on the cards, which feels a little similar to the current children brushing vibrato.
In fact, there will be cards for the idol drama Meteor Garden, but mainly girls are collecting, and male collections are generally regarded as strange species.
World Cup cards
This was popular around the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, which was the first time the Chinese team entered the World Cup (and the only time so far), there was a national jubilation, everywhere there were head coach Milu endorsement products, comparable to A-list stars, the card naturally did not fall.
The series is divided into star cards and team cards, and the only Chinese star card I collected was Fan Zhiyi. The two hottest cards in the small partners are the Brazilian team and the Chinese team, but after getting the card, everyone found that the Brazilian team's ranking was actually not the first but the third, and the first place was the French team.
The deepest impression on me in this series was that the card surface of the American team showed that it was ranked 24th in FIFA, participated in 6 World Cups, and finished third at the highest, which made me mistakenly think that the United States team was a strong team for a long time. Later, I learned that the World Cup is to divide South America and North America into two divisions, and the Central and North American and Caribbean regions where the United States is located have three places, so it is really not difficult to enter the World Cup...
King of Fighters Card
This series is sold alongside other cards, such as Pokémon. Because of the problem of introducing copyright and broadcasting TV stations, Pokémon animation was more chaotic in China at that time, some versions were called Pokémon, some versions were called Pokémon, and there were Pokemon names among players, and it was difficult for me in Sichuan to see tv stations that played these two versions of animation, resulting in a childhood lack of cold to Pokémon. But there was a classmate who liked Pokémon very much, so I fooled him to buy this set of cards, and then I gave him the Pokemon card, and he gave me the King of Fighters card, which was a win-win situation.
In addition, the neighbor brother who just mentioned that Lin Chong is Japanese also likes to collect cards, and his Boxing King card is almost all collected, and then he gave me duplicate cards, so my cards are also much more qi than my classmates. But the class I was studying in strictly banned cards, and once a neighbor was reported to the class teacher when he gave me a card at school, and then GG on the spot.
Some of these king of fighter cards use the official illustrations drawn by SenQiLou for SNK, and some are screenshots of Hong Kong comics, resulting in completely different painting styles, and even I could see that these cards came from different directions at that time. Some of the cards are personal data, some are plot introduction, the data is provided by SNK official, but the plot is from Hong Kong comics (King of Fighters is the Hong Kong translation of the name), so at that time I believed in the dog blood story of "Hachijinan and Kusanagi Kyo robbing women".
The translations inside are also translations of Hong Kong comics, such as Terry called Terry, Lukar called Nujia, and the colder is that Kusanagi Kyo is written as Kusanagi Kyo... Some of the names were also worn by Zhang Guan Li, such as the Great Snake written as Guli Charlidu, and Chris wrote as Li Xiangqiu.
Although the buddy who likes Pokémon helped me collect a lot of cards, I still hated Pokémon in the end, because the popularity of the King of Fighters card was not as good as that of Pokemon, so the boss soon stopped entering the King of Fighters card and specifically entered pokemon. It wasn't until the summer vacation of the sixth grade of elementary school that I watched more than a hundred pokémon episodes on the on-demand station that I finally changed my mind about the anime series.
Game King Card
Here comes the big play. Game King began to broadcast on local on-demand stations around 2002, and it is estimated that it was already on fire in other regions at that time, so it appeared in a strong push posture, provided on-demand in a very conspicuous position, and often played automatically. Game King was the first work to bring me copyright awareness, because the anime until the Duelist Kingdom chapter was a genuine stage match, and from the duelist city chapter onwards, the pirates themselves found someone to match.
This kind of pirated dubbing is very bad, not only poor recording effect, amateur dubbing level, but also estimated because of the lack of voice actors, in order to make a distinction between the characters, some of the characters' voice lines are extremely exaggerated, coupled with no officially provided audio tracks, every time the characters speak, they will turn off the background music and sound effects. When I rented a pirated disc to watch the Atlantis episode, I couldn't stand this kind of pirated dubbing, so I used the function of VCD to switch the channel to directly play the original sound to watch, and now I think it was the first Japanese animation I watched.
The Game King card appeared at about the same time as the on-demand station animation, and it must be said that the merchants at the entrance of the school are too good at catching business opportunities, and finally naturally have a fire without suspense. At that time, there were three kinds of card bags, the price was two, five, ten, two of the card bags had 40, and ten were more than two hundred. The small boss was simply fifty cents a pack, and my pocket money at that time was also fifty cents a day, so this price still made me feel more distressed, I collected about two thousand cards at my peak and used two shoe boxes to pack.
Because the Japanese side introduced the King of Games card during the manga series period, and it has undergone several revisions, I have changed several versions when I started collecting the King of Games card. However, the layout of the cards at the beginning of the anime was drawn according to the manga, resulting in the template design and monster shape of the cards being different from the cards I bought in reality, which made me think for a long time that the cards I bought were "not authentic". In addition, at that time, buying cards would also be accompanied by game descriptions and manga books, and the gap between manga content and animation was too large, and I also felt that the merchants made up their own, who knew that the gap between the two was so big...
Dark Magic Guide was designed early in the anime, and the other cards were designed later
In addition, there is a oolong because the back of the game ace card is more difficult to draw, so the manga and anime are directly simplified to a circle, so I thought that a circle is the correct way to draw, I don't understand why the game king card on the market should be drawn like that. These confusions were not solved until the Atlantis anime also adopted the latest version of the card template and in one episode where the protagonist game stood on the back of a huge card, because this card with a door as high as the back of the card showed the full card back, and then I realized that the card I had collected was fine. Later, I heard that the Game King card in the mainland was actually printed by the pirate merchant ZZ ShonenKan, so when I came back after turning around, the original one in my hand was still pirated.
Speaking of this, how to play the King of Games card is also a problem for everyone. I would have formed a deck of my own, and according to the rules of the early episode of the anime plus the introduction of the card and play a few people, often using the Millenium Eye card to let the opponent say what he plans to do next every turn, basically winning, thinking that he is a master. However, as we all know, the rules in the early stages of manga and anime are similar to kouhu, and a lot of corrections have been made later, but the official rules have been revised repeatedly, and I have not followed this set at all.
Then I walked out of several neighborhoods near my home, repeatedly challenged the masters on the other side of the river and were rejected, and finally got the opportunity when everyone had nothing to do after a power outage, and then I was confused as soon as I came up. What, summoning the blue-eyed white dragon and the black magic guide actually use sacrifices, isn't it casually summoned in the animation? What, you can only attack once a turn, and the first hand can't attack? What, happy feather broom can only have one card deck? Then I was KOD in less than two minutes of the opening...
That failure made me a little suspicious of life, but I also understood why many cards were set up like this, such as the Blue-Eyed White Dragon, if it could be summoned at will, then who had nothing to do with the bullhead warrior in the deck. And after knowing the gap between myself and the master, I didn't dare to challenge anyone anymore and became a low-key collector. At that time, I didn't understand why my classmates liked to play with cards, they didn't play or collect, this kind of behavior seemed to me like gambling chips in a casino without exchanging money, I can only say that everyone's fun is different.
The vitality of the game king card is very strong, after junior high school, there have also been heroes in GX series on the market, and the card is operated independently from the anime as a trading card game, and many game versions have been produced, such as the famous Johouchi version. Last year, when the game King mobile game was introduced into China, a junior high school classmate was addicted to it and could not extricate myself, let me play with him, and the news that the blue-eyed white dragon card shot out of the eighty million sky-high price also made many people sigh "Grandpa Qinghui". But just like I just mentioned that when I was a child, I collected pirated cards, and the genuine game king cards were not introduced into China until I went to college, but most people probably didn't care about it.
Anime cards
The first thing that comes to mind is the Digimon card, which I have collected in two versions, one with a black border and the other with a blue border. The back of the blue border card is a blue-green pattern, very sci-fi, at that time Bandai also launched a Digimon battle game on the PS1, my classmates and I often go to play, the pattern often appears as a reading screen, the two should be bound to each other's plans. I remember that the highest value in this card was the King Kong Martial God Beast.
Speaking of which, due to the lack of appearances of the Celestial Beast in the anime, I didn't care too much about her dress, and when I collected the Digimon cards, I found that she was dressed very erotically, which established the status of the first goddess of digital in my heart...
In the third part, because of the setting of the tyrannosaurus machine to swap cards, the three generations of tyrannosaurus machines on the market at that time were the hottest, and the boys almost had one hand, and everyone liked to imitate the action of the card swapping in the animation. But to be honest, due to the inconsistent translation of the name, coupled with the fact that the setting of the work itself is too complicated, most of the characters in the Digimon card make people feel alienated, and no one explains the rules, so no one has ever really played with these cards.
In addition to Digimon and Pokémon, there was also a cartoon called Magic Baby at the time, and cards were also released. Originally titled Son of the Devil, this work is an animated version of the console game True Goddess Rebirth, and the introducer also translated the protagonists and future into Komitsu and Mina. Although I liked this work at the time, it did not actually cause a lot of repercussions, and I found that this work was related to the rebirth of the true goddess because when I watched the animated version of Persona 3 a few years ago, I found the character Frost Jack in the magic baby. It's wonderful to feel that I've been associated with a work I like for a long time.
Dragon Ball cards and Naruto cards were introduced slightly later than Digimon, and judging from the card face logo, dragon ball cards should be from toei, the copyright owner of the anime, and have a special gameplay. Although Dragon Ball was very popular at the time, because the TV station only introduced the first part, and most of the characters in the card were characters from Dragon Ball Z, many of them did not know. The card uses a Hong Kong translation, such as Vegeta called Bida and Tranx called Du Lagos.
Looking back, from King of Fighters to Digimon to Dragon Ball, it was estimated that many of these cards were hong Kong goods ripped by pirates in Guangdong. However, due to the fact that most people can't understand Cantonese, the Japanese animation introduced by several domestic disc distribution companies at that time was mainly based on Taiwanese dubbing, such as Digimon broadcasting the mainland dubbing version on TV, broadcasting the Taiwan dubbed version on demand, the mainland version in the boss of the second chapter called orangutan beast, and the Taiwan version is called Wukong beast, and many people are messing around in different translations. For example, when I first collected cards, I saw the translation name of Bida, when I rented a disc, it became Dahl, and later when I read the manga, it became a Vegeta, which is like changing a vest every time I go to a point.
Naruto's set of cards is personally suspected to have come from Bandai, and there have been iterations of updates. One version carries a four-digit cipher in the lower right corner, the first being the Chakra attribute and the last three being the earth branch. At that time, Bandai's battle game Kiba Hero 2 on PS2 was very popular, and one of the modes could enter four-digit passwords, so I once took these cards to the game hall, and then entered the above passwords into the game, and the result was exactly the same card surface, and I got the reward in the game. I hardly remember these passwords, except for "Shui Hai Youyi", because the effect of this code is to unlock all the characters on the spot, and to inform everyone that the secret is a child from the city.
Naruto's deck also had battle rules, but due to the extreme complexity of the design, I didn't understand it in the end. In addition, since the mention of Kiba Hero 2, by the way, the game was launched when the anime just came out to the three ninja wars, and the plot began with the third game of the Naka Ninja Exam, which led to the game's appearance of many characters (even the villains of the Yukihime Ninja Fa-ti were taken in to make up the number) and the plot was completely insufficient, so the plot of the next two chapters was original by the production team, telling the story of the Great Snake Maru and the Hood sealed Kakashi's writing wheel eye, and the dirt was reborn as white, no longer chopped, three generations of Naruto to attack Kiba, It is estimated that the production team did not expect that Kishimoto would really reincarnate a few of them later.....
After that, because I entered the senior grade, I rarely collected cards, and as for buying pirated Three Kingdoms Kill, Three Kingdoms Kill Iron Box Edition, Three Kingdoms Kill Edition, and Three Kingdoms Kill Board Game Limited Card after high school, that is another story.
In fact, at that time, there were many animation-related toys around, and there were far more than these cards, and there were many cards that the manufacturers set their own plot stories, such as a science fiction battle theme series called Grow up, and a magic version of science fiction Journey to the West that could make the six teachers angry. In addition to the well-known 4WD and battle tops, I even collected pamphlets from the world's famous theaters when I was shopping for snacks. Now I think that most of the makers of these works are the hidden dead house bosses and creative masters of that era, and I may have had a talent for becoming a dead house since then.
Although I wanted to turn over these collections to take a photo, when I was in my third year of high school, my family sold the house in town, and many of these cards were lost on the way to move, and the rest was stored in the old house in the countryside. I took a few photos in college and haven't seen them since.
