Japanese culture is a culture permeated with a sense of crisis, and this culture is magnified into film and television, resulting in neon zombies, thrillers, and apocalyptic works...
Therefore, in the history of Japanese comics, there is no shortage of excellent doomsday animations: from "Bugs" and "Ha (Destruction) Kaiju (Beast)" of earth purification theory, to "Highschool (Gakuen) of the Dead(Apocalypse)" and "Resident Evil" attacked by zombies, and even more such as ghost head Mo Hong's "Earth Defense Boy", Xuan Yuanxuan's "Magical Girl Circle"... Uncountable! This year, in april, Kentaro Sato's manga adaptation of the same name "Magical Girl Website" also made people shudder with the countdown to the death of tempest and hold high the stark banner of abusing his sister.
Speaking of Kentaro Sato, a manga artist who has focused on the "Magical Girl" theme for a hundred years (without wavering), he has already embarked on an original and even subverted the concept of "Magical Girl". Talk about the end, the plot, the magic, the accumulation of emotions... That must be another part of him —
"Magical Boy Website" and "Magical Girl of Doom" are duets to Kentaro Sato's "Magical Girl" theme. Conceptually, the former's magical girl is born by attaching herself to a wand — not a "magical girl" who holds a wand, but a person who holds a wand, who can be called a magical girl! On the contrary, in the latter's worldview, "Magical Girl" is a kind of bloodline inheritance force! Throughout the history of development, when the exorcist and the demon reached a contract and bred a child with demonic power in the body, he achieved the prestige of the witch; and when the witch was combined with ordinary humans, the girl who gave birth was a magical girl!
To add, when a human male is combined with a magical girl, the next generation of magical girls will be born, and if they are only led by the blood (blood) of the two, the final result will only be an incomplete "subspecies of magical girls (dolls)".
The beginning of "Magical Girl of the End" is that the "subspecies magical girls" have slowly descended from the wormholes above Tokyo through 20 years, turning the streets into a purgatory of death! The puppets who shouted "magic, magic" slaughtered humans without mercy, and also made the Red Lotus Sauce confused for a while: Could it be that "Magical Girl" is just a cover? Is it actually the "doomsday" tragedy in "Ha (Destruction) Kaiju (Beast)"?
Even more terrifying: anyone killed by a magical girl (wand) will be transformed into a "magical zombie"! At this point, the purpose fit with the human who eats the meat of the monster in "Hakaiju" will eventually degenerate into a "mutant" between humans and monsters!
In fact, this attack from 20 years later is actually the villain's efforts to change the future, and the purpose of this big move is even more jaw-dropping: so that Fukumoto Tsunako can abandon the obsession of being single, create conditions for her and the male protagonist (son Tomii Takashi) to be together, and give birth to an heir in the future! What the? The emotional villain is a prominent employee of "Century Jiayuan", and it is uncomfortable to see a single dog. Not! Ji Lu single-handedly provoked the invasion of the "subspecies magical girl", although in order to change the life of the heroine, the actual purpose is to gather 13 ninth generation "magical girls" and sacrifice them to create a new world! In other words, as long as Fukumoto Tsukuko can't give birth to a child, the conditions of this prophecy can't be met!
Therefore, in 2030, Tsukuyano deliberately alienated his beloved man, and even watched him marry another woman (Sugano Kaede); in 2010, Himeji, for the purpose of fighting, entered a second personality named "Asuka" in Tsukuko's body, forcing Kaede and Mika to bully her wantonly, just to win the setting of the "tragic" heroine, and by the way, let the male protagonist see the "dark" side of Sugano Kaede.
2002, 2010, 2012, 2017, 2030, 2035... Switching between many time points, so that "Magical Girl of the end" has a "parallel world" theory that is close to Lin Zhixiao's "Gate of the Stone of Destiny", whether good or evil, both sides are for their own goals, constantly shuttling between the past and the future, affecting the future trend, even the "subspecies magical girl" dolls, is also good and bad, the enemy is inseparable!
In this worldview, "any change made to the past will affect the future!" Time influence theory plays a very important role. Thus, "the death of man will be determined by the self-destruction at a certain point in time, bounded by this point in time, and the future thereafter will erase the existence of the dead man!" But at an earlier time, try to save him! ”
Not only the worldview and the theory of time and space, compared to Kentaro's other "Magical Girl Website", at least, "Magical Girl of the End" does not have a far-fetched attachment to black and black, whether it is the phenomenon of bullying, or the reason for killing, or the lonely life... There are traces to all of this! In addition, Miwa's "hero worship" of perverted police officers, Yuka's "marriage pact" with Ren in despair, Shirogane Andyo and Mikano, Tsunako and Takashi... Only by undergoing the tempering of "hell" and experiencing a time of despair can they feel the happiness of the ten fingers interlocking, and their love is not pretentious, but a kind of "sublimation" after mutual help and dependence on each other!
The tension of love dilutes the reality of despair, and the self-realization of the individual makes these disaster animations add some heroic drama. You can say that Youyi died with Kuroki with his life, and he saved the whole world! And the perverted policeman Wasaburō, also from the beginning of the obsession with oupai, to the later single-handed blocking of the "demon" Platinum Shinobi... Even if it is invincible, it is already comparable to the martial arts ("hakaiju"), making people see the power that bursts out after the justice of the "scumbag"!
Eventually, when the crowd arrives at the world dominated by Kuroki, Fukumoto Tsukuko awakens to save the crowd (the power of the witch), and Takashi Kogami sacrifices as the carrier of Tsugako's magic to exert a more complete "reset ability"... After all, this world does not have the wish of the "exorcist", the history of mankind and witches will continue, and in the final words, the sentence "The new world itself is a noble dress" has raised the male protagonist to the height of almost "God".
"Don't cry, Sheath..."
Ending the crisis of the last days must be accompanied by the accounting of sacrifice, which is a helpless thing. The loved one is no longer alive, but the loved one cannot be with him, and they are equally sad for Fukumoto Tsukuko and Kaede Seno. Through the mouth of guiyi's son, he conveyed the belated words to Feng: "After seeing all the truth, please let me reply to your wishes"...
Perhaps, in the new world, the child's noble clothes will become a existence like a deer eye and a eustia——
He is formless and insubstantial, but he is the "God" of the world!
Anyway, either tenderly, or the truth, hope is rekindled, and the rest, just let him go...
