Dragon Ball: Why was Tianjin rice later marginalized, but the turtle immortals were highly valued?
Although the Dragon Ball series has gone through a long period of time, to this day, this series still affects generations of readers and viewers. Because of so many years, it is natural that there are many characters loved by everyone, and Tianjin rice is also one of them, but for this character, although it is not as bad as Yamucha, it has also been gradually marginalized, and even for his life, but the turtle immortals who have hardly asked about the world before have been re-emphasized, what is the reason for this?
Strength issues
In fact, the story structure of the Dragon Ball series is uncomplicated, and can even be said to be relatively simple, just like the level-breaking game, the protagonists are constantly dealing with more powerful bosses. It's just that the wonderful thing about Dragon Ball is the treatment of the details in the story, especially after "Dragon Ball Z", this mode is more and more prominent, but we appreciate completely different details and wonderful points in the story, for example, in the Frieza chapter, we see several waves of people fighting wits, even like a spy war drama, and in the artificial man chapter, we see science fiction settings similar to the time paradox, even if it is the last magic man Buou chapter. We can also see a little bit of the story of oriental magic and black humor.
This is the most wonderful point of "Dragon Ball", although the mode of the story is the same, but the way the story is handled, including the way of telling the story, but in any case, in this mode, the boss that is destined to be dealt with by the protagonist is getting stronger and stronger, which means that many characters will become a drag oil bottle once the combat effectiveness cannot keep up, so Akira Toriyama takes the method of retreating and letting more capable people deal with it, and I have to say that this is indeed a simple and direct good way. A lot of trouble was avoided, and the role of Tianjin rice was largely bound to dumplings, but the combat effectiveness of dumplings was even more insufficient, but Tianjin rice could only have a qigong cannon support scene in the end.
Although there are other moves, but compared with the real master, whether it is the four elephant fist or the four demon fist, it is just hitting the stone with a pebble, so there is no need to use it at all, in this case, Toriyama Akira is actually very kind to keep the grandmaster of Tianjin rice, and also let him have a more eye-catching performance, but there is always a limit, no matter how you can not cross that limit, because Tianjin rice has no reason to strengthen its own strength. After all, in terms of his age, he is also the same generation as Sun Wukong, although the talent is good, but in the world of Dragon Ball, the most important thing is talent, so Tianjin rice is not the protagonist, which can not keep up, can be marginalized, and even there is no need to use too much ink to explain his whereabouts, just a simple mention.
Why strengthen the turtle immortals
Speaking of the problem of strength, the most confusing thing for some friends is that the official later strengthened the turtle immortals in "Dragon Ball Super", but did not let the Tianjin rice have a better performance, we need to know that the combat effectiveness of the Tianjin rice is above the turtle immortals, but why didn't the production team choose the Tianjin rice? The answer to this question is also very easy to understand, because the turtle immortal is easier to write stories from it, after all, the age of the turtle immortal is there, and in terms of identity, it is also the master of Sun Wukong, first of all, there is a suppressive effect on the protagonist, because in line with the principle of one day as a teacher for life, the turtle immortal is also more suitable for giving Sun Wukong some guidance in life, after all, he has lived a long time, and the experience and experience of life are also there, and it is more suitable for guidance as an elder, Tianjin rice is obviously not qualified for this qualification.
In addition, the Turtle Immortal has a long blank period, because the character has faded from the last part of the first part of Dragon Ball. There was no battle about him, the reason for the initial retirement was that the strength was not good, but the same thing is that what he did during this time, the audience did not know, so it was easier to make a story from it, plus although his strength was not good, but after all, he lived for such a long time, the original moves he would have been various, even hypnosis and other moves will be used, in other words, the turtle immortal is more suitable for dealing with some combat effectiveness, although it is not strong, but it can be strange characters, plus experienced, It can be said that there is such a character who can make a big fuss from it, which is naturally the first choice.
For example, the Turtle Immortal's "Pseudo-Self Extreme Intention Gong", this ability is actually not combat effectiveness, but a realm that a person can achieve after years of cultivation, and the Turtle Immortal naturally cannot reach the realm of Sun Wukong, because the potential is placed there. However, after all, this is not directly linked to combat effectiveness, so among the earthlings, the only person who is qualified to master this realm is the turtle immortal who has lived the longest. And about the technical things, only the turtle immortal is convenient to give Goku advice, for example, a teacher Fu old and frail, naturally not as good as the young man's physical fitness, but this does not mean that in terms of skill, you can not give advice to the apprentice, so the official also seized this point, only to give the turtle immortal some bright performance.
More importantly, it can also sell a wave of feelings, after all, the turtle immortal can be said to be the starting point of Sun Wukong. The first true master of the Eight Classics, Sun Wu rice is more like an adoptive father. Of course, no matter how strong these characters are, the strength is only that. But it doesn't stop us from liking these characters, I don't know if you like Tianjin rice and turtle immortals? Welcome everyone to say their ideas, like words, but also hope to be more supportive, one key three consecutive ah!
