2000 High Mobility Fantasy, a strategy simulation game produced by Alfa System and launched on the PS platform
In September 2000, alfa system, a Japanese game company that had launched "The Great Demon Village" and "Isu III", launched a strategy simulation game with a sci-fi plot on Sony's home console platform PS2, "High Mobility Fantasy", the plot of the game continued the three elements of the end of the world, war and human nature in previous Alfa System works, but some changes were made in the plot of this game, "High Mobility Fantasy" The worldview was structured in reality after World War II.
In the middle of World War II in 1945, a black moon suddenly appeared in the sky, and at the same time, a mysterious life form known as the "esper" attacked mankind, and the world war was declared over, and humans joined hands to deal with the "esper beast". After 50 years of fighting with the mysterious life form esper, only the island nation of Asia, Japan, southern Africa, and parts of the Americas have been spared, and all the rest of the world has fallen. In September 1997, espers began to land in Kyushu, Japan, and in 1998, the Battle of Yashiro Plains was launched, and the Japanese army was completely destroyed. In 1999, kumamoto Fortress was urgently constructed, the age of conscription was reduced to 14 to 17 years old, and in March of 1999, when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, the story began when the teenager Suzu and others joined the army...
The completion of the game's middle plot, the growth of character development, will have an impact on the final game ending, a total of 6 levels of SABCDE, S level ending is the most difficult to achieve, at that time, many players in Japan repeatedly played this game, in order to achieve a perfect ending of S level, the use of a strategy game commonly used "SL" secret skill, SAVE is the game's save, LOAD is the game to read, start the game first, if the challenge fails to read the previous save, If successful, SAVE, move on.
Players who use this method need to spend a lot of time and cost, but there is no skill, so the SL secret technique is also known as a game method for playing rogues, and the next trick to use in order to see the perfect ending.

Soon after the release of the game, immediately after the game was very popular players, their own S-level playthrough screenshots were posted to the Japanese 2CH forum game section, some players were very envious, they left a message asking how the other party did it, and the poster told the sad process of using SL Dafa one by one.
In 2004, a novelist who had just debuted in December 2003, because he was bored looking for inspiration on the Internet, happened to see this post, the mecha elements in the game of "High Mobility Fantasy", young student soldiers, and characters who "resurrected" at a certain origin point in the game countless times with the player SL Dafa, these wild clues intertwined in the novelist's mind, and immediately gathered into a clue, he created the novel "All You Need Is Kill" based on this post. It was published and distributed in Shueisha's dash library.
The novelist's name is Hiroshi Sakurasaka.
<h1>A programmer who quit his job at the age of 33 to write a novel</h1>
Hiroshi Sakurasaka was born in 1970, graduated from the Department of Physics at Tokyo University of Science, joined an IT company around 1992, and after working as a programmer for 10 years, in 2003, Hiroshi Sakurasaka resigned from the IT company to start writing light novels.
2003 Hiroshi Sakurasaka's debut novel Modern Magic
In addition to work, animation, magic, science fiction plots often come to mind, because the programmer's work is too boring, he will collect some interesting ideas that emerge, and over time it will become a large-scale light novel sample, in October 2003, before the Shueisha Super Dash Novel Newcomer Award held by dash library closed for registration, he also submitted his novel, which finally won the award, called "Simple and Easy to Understand Modern Magic".
Sakurasaka's novel plot hole is very large, and there are a lot of empathetic experiences in his works, such as the modern magic messengers in "Simple and Easy to Understand Modern Magic", most of whom are programmers like themselves, according to the worldview in the book, their modern magic is based on the magic network, and if you want to use magic, you must understand the relevant procedural knowledge.
The 2014 film version of All You Need Is Kill was written by Hiroshi Sakurasaka and starred Brother Tom
In 2004, after resigning from the IT company and officially debuting, Sakurasaka Yoshishi saw the "High Mobility Fantasy" game SL Dafa post and was deeply inspired, he tried to imagine the plot of the game, the young soldier attacked the esper failed, the young soldier resurrected from the origin and attacked the esper again failed, the young soldier once again resurrected from the origin to attack the esper, and so on until the success, if you create such a work, will anyone like it? With the mentality of giving it a try, he created the work under the title of All You Need Is Chinese Kill.
In the "All You Need Is Kill" novel, humans send alien reclaimed robots to be invaded by echinoderms, they have their own consciousness after merging, and become powerful combat creatures, in turn, they begin to attack humans, the protagonist of the novel Keiji is a young soldier of the defense army to prevent the invasion of the alien shape, who died on the battlefield in a vague way, but then inexplicably resurrected before going to the battlefield, and retained the memory of the last battle. Also having the same experience as Keiji is the Battle Maiden Rita, who is known as the Valkyrie because she had mastered the Super Fighting Technique earlier. The two begin to explore how to defeat the mutated intelligent creatures and analyze why they are infinitely reincarnated.
Cover of the 2004 novel edition of Hiroshi Sakurasaka's All You Need Is Kill
"All You Need Is Kill" was published in 2004, and was immediately highly praised by Yasuro Tsutsui, who is known as the three giants of Japanese SF science fiction, and caused a very wide response in society, so that everyone paid attention not only to the author's desire to express that everyone can gain valuable experience from continuous failure, this positive side, but also the personal experience of "everything in front of them seems to be familiar" in the plot. Readers who have read the novel will resonate.
Also deeply touched by "All You Need Is Kill" is a popular manga artist, ken Kohata, the author who was working on "The King of Explosive Manga" (Dream Eater) at the time.
<h1>From abstract text to embodied comics of All You Need Is Kill</h1>
The japanese manga era in which the popular manga artist Ken Obata lived, has entered a completely modern manga period, manga artists no longer have to consider the story plot and world view, just need to consider how to better show the manga storyboard, not only Ken Obata, most of the manga works of this era are compilation collaboration, script editors (or original text authors) and manga authors to create manga, and the original author of the manga who cooperates with Ken Obata is Obaba, such as "The King of Explosive Manga" Many of Obata's manga such as "Dream Eater" were scripts written by him, which provided the first version of the text storyboard for Kohata Ken.
In 2014, Ken Obata adapted "All You Need Is Kill" into a manga, and what attracted Ken Obata's attention was the phenomenon known as Deja-vu (déjà vu) in Hiroshi Sakurasaka's novel "All You Need Is Kill", when encountering certain things, as it has been experienced, some people even call it "memories from past lives", and scholars in the field of medicine interpret this phenomenon as an instantaneous discharge of the cerebral cortex, which is a phenomenon of trompe l'oeil. However, scholars in the field of physics call it the phenomenon of time reversal, which is a special human phenomenon that causes the interlacing of time and space after the speed is greater than the speed of light, and the four-dimensional space occasionally causes chaos. This mysterious element was amplified when Ken Obata adapted the manga.
The 2014 Ken Obata edition of all You Need Is Kill manga is divided into two volumes
In order to add to the mystery, the manga omits the setting that the source of the espers in the original novel is actually from human hands, calls them mysterious alien creatures, and replaces their name "espers" in the novel with a more futuristic noun "mimesis", and Ken Tabata refers to the illustrations and character designs created by Yoshitoshi Abe for the 2004 edition of the light novel "All You Need Is Kill". The Deja-vu (déjà vu) that describes the memories of past lives in the original novel is magnified into different dimensional trajectories of life.
In the manga "All You Need Is Kill" adapted by Ken Obata, as the "imitation" of the enemy, its strength is not force, but their ability to manipulate time and space, no matter how many times they have failed, they can rewrite history from scratch, obtain data from various possibilities and various time and space dimensions, and finally win without suspense, forcing human beings to a desperate situation step by step. The human soldiers Keiji and Rita, when fighting, are threatened by the core of the mimesis, and inadvertently gain the ability of the mimetic body to constantly resurrect and obtain the memories of previous lives, because the battle against the mimetic has never been won, so the short life of Keiko is always reincarnated for 24 hours before the battle and the next day.
Enemies who can manipulate time and space abilities are not new elements, as early as 1984, Akira Toriyama's "Dragon Ball" has an enemy that can manipulate time and space to stop time, it is Guldo of Kinu Special Forces, in araki Hiroohiko's 1989 "JOJO Fantastic Adventure" third "Stardust Fighter", the final boss Dior's stand-in "World" can also manipulate time and space, making time stop for 5 seconds.
Therefore, Ken Obata's manga focuses not on how soldiers Keichi and Rita overcome the mysterious alien creature mimesis, but on depicting the different trajectories of the protagonist in each time and space in multiple spaces, which is the source of inspiration for Hiroshi Sakurasaka's novel and the short SL path of each game protagonist in the Game of High Mobility Fantasy.
Came to the barracks at night, joined the battle the next day, and died immediately
He came to the barracks at night, joined the battle the next day, and died after holding out for a while
Come to the barracks at night and shoot yourself
In the evening, he came to the barracks, escaped, bumped into the beautiful little sister who delivered food, and the next day he attacked in a simulated attack and was killed in battle
Come to the barracks at night, practice tactics, and kill 1 mimetic the next day
……
In the 2004 young novel, Yoshitoshi Abe's illustration was also used as a reference for the manga characters by Ken Tabata
While the comic will be "All You Need Is Kill" embodiment, the story plot of each space-time dimension is left to the reader with sufficient imagination space in the unique form of the comic, and when the reader feels the magical experience of the protagonist of the comic, on the one hand, he thinks of the Deja-vu (visual sense) he has experienced in the real world, on the other hand, he also thinks of the current dimension in which he is in, parallel to the current dimension but experiences a very different trajectory of other dimensions. Imagine yourself living in another time and space doing.
"All You Need Is Kill" After Ken Obata's adaptation, the manga has a deeper meaning, Keigo and Rita are fighting against mimesis side by side with Rita, another parallel time and space self is having a romantic story with the logistics sister of the barracks, the third parallel time and space Keji is desperately running to the rear, and the fourth parallel time and space Keji and Rita enjoy a day of short love...
Whether it is bravely facing his own responsibilities and choosing to fight, or seemingly cowardly escape, or choosing incredible love when the great war is approaching, each of the protagonist's fate clues is a completely different life.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Japan entered the aging society, the marriage rate and childbearing rate of young people have dropped to the minimum, whether it is a living state or a mental state is completely different from the Japanese society in the middle and late last century, young people no longer consider the national interests and national spirit, more think of their own survival and development, personalized is reflected in all aspects of Japanese society.
Ken Obata, a representative of the younger generation of manga artists, also reflects the phenomenon of individuation prevalent in Japanese society in his adaptation of the manga "All You Need Is Kill".
Brother Tom's version of "All You Need Is Kill" is familiar with the plot of victory of justice and hero salvation
<h1>The passive-watched movie version of "All You Need Is Kill" has been greatly reduced</h1>
In 2014, "All You Need Is Kill" launched at the same time as the Hollywood film of the same name starring Tom Cruise (translation: Edge of Tomorrow) was also released worldwide, passive viewing of the film form and active viewing of the form of comic book supplementation has a huge difference, director Doug Riemann chose the most universal dimensional path in "All You Need Is Kill", the protagonist experienced countless resurrections and finally defeated the imitation to defend the peace of the earth.
Although the film also caused quite a stir in that year, it was much less attractive than the original novel and even the manga version.
"All You Need Is Kill" original author Hiroshi Sakurasaka wrote a column on the official website of his alma mater, Tokyo University of Science
After the publication of the novel "All You Need Is Kill", Sakurasaka's alma mater, Tokyo University of Science, graciously invited Sakurasaka Hiroshi to promote the school on his website, and put Sakurasaka Hiroshi's novelist experience on the official website of Tokyo University of Science for promotion, And Sakurasaka wrote such a sentence at the bottom of Tokyo University of Science's own publicity column, which is endlessly evocative.
"University courses teach you all kinds of theories, but making them really work requires your choice."
<h1>The next words</h1>
Recently, whether I am still around myself or the people around me, I always say that I regret not having this sooner, not having that sooner, and so on, just thinking of This manga by Ken Obata, look at the manga, think about myself in various parallel time and space, make up for it, and get addicted to it. The road of this time and space must continue to go on.
