Chapter 354 Untitled

name and finished reading it very quickly.

This work tells the story of the invasion of aliens called Amanto at the end of the Edo period. The war between the earthlings and Amanto broke out instantly, and a large number of samurai and anti-foreigner activists participated in the battle with Amanto.

After the shogunate saw the powerful strength of Amanto, it signed an unequal treaty with Amanto without authorization and allowed them to enter the country. Later, it issued an order to abolish swords and took away the swords of the samurai. Since then, Amanto has been rampant and the shogunate has become a puppet regime.

Although it looks a bit strange, they know very well that what the porters drew was the story after the Black Ship Incident at the end of the Edo period, which also touched them as the country of Sakura.

The Black Ship Incident is the origin of the founding and pain of the country of Sakura.

A feudal country with a feudal system, after the Tokugawa shogunate, was closed to the outside world and was broken by the strong ships and cannons of the West. The subsequent political revolution caused the struggle between the so-called anti-foreigner and reformists.

As for the overall feeling of this work, Senfu Fuzo and Yuino Yui's first feeling was that it was a mess, as if all the themes that could attract people when listed separately were gathered together, but it turned into a strange work that looked like nothing.

But it was really good!

The extremely exaggerated performance and the hilarious story full of complaints deeply touched their laughter points, making them never close their mouths from beginning to end.

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

They can make you cry in the last second and make you laugh to your heart's content in the next second. The frequent development of the gods makes people unable to complain.

Of course, there are not only funny things in it, but also touching things.

For example, some words in the comics.

"There is no need for great principles for samurai to do things. As long as there is something you want to protect, just draw the sword."

"A man is a boy until he dies."

Senfu Fuzo had to admit that he was moved by Gintoki, who was portrayed by the porter in "Gintama".

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

Like a little white flower struggling to crawl out of the filthy mud, it brings a fragrance to this turbid world.

But...

The Bushido spirit in this Gintama seems to be different from what he knows.

The Bushido of Sakura Country emphasizes the discipline between the monarch and the minister. "The monarch is not a monarch" (the monarch is tyrannical and unjust) and "the minister is not a minister" (the minister does not fulfill his duty as a minister). Loyalty is an absolute value.

In general, the Bushido spirit advocates for the country, so there are so many samurai who commit suicide at any moment.

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

He did not choose to protect everyone, but chose to protect his small family, because in his opinion, the country is already in tatters, no matter how much protection is used, and the ones who really love him are his companions, this small family.

As the comic says: "Sky? Country? It doesn't matter if I give it to you. I'm busy protecting what's in front of me, and I can't protect it. I can't count how much I've lost so far. Anyway, I have nothing. When I see something falling, it's natural to pick it up and keep it." It can be said that it is different from the Bushido in his impression. So... Qian Fangzang looked at Yui Yuino beside him. I wonder if Yui Yuino can accept this kind of Bushido? "Huh..." Just as Qian Fangzang thought, Yui Yuino was indeed entangled with the Bushido spirit in the comics drawn by Hao Ren. But it's not the Bushido spirit in Gintama. After all, she is not that kind of old-fashioned person, otherwise she wouldn't think of mixing Bushido spirit with comedy. Now he is thinking about what the Bushido spirit conveyed in Gintama is that the porter wants to draw. In her opinion, in the work of Gintama, the Bushido spirit presents a new look, not loyalty to the feudal monarch, nor bloodthirsty national instinct. It is protection and inheritance, self-reflection and self-transcendence, a battle between oneself and the past, and a gentle transformation from the old era to the new era.

"Wait!"

Yui Yuino was stunned for a moment.

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

At a glance, it seems to be protection and guarding as she thought, that is, devoting oneself to protect others in dangerous moments.

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

Through the general name, it can be seen that this work conveys a lonely, running, constantly moving forward, for important people and things, unyielding and resisting the cruel era of day and night. The samurai requires everyone to put reputation first, even above life, so once they lose the battle, they will commit suicide and live up to their reputation.

But in Yui Yuino's view, this behavior is very stupid. How can you play with your own life?

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

After all, times have changed!

In Yui Yuino's opinion, she quite agrees with a sentence in the comics: "There is no need for a samurai to do things in a profound way. As long as there is something you want to protect, just draw your sword."

Why should we insist on the Bushido prepared by others? Live in the way you think is beautiful, protect what you want to protect, and implement your own Bushido. This is the real samurai!

After a long while, Yui Yuino 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 Yuino's words, Hao Ren nodded with satisfaction: "I like it!"

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

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

After all, in his opinion, what is the Shinsengumi, the Demon Corps, the Shogunate, all of these added together, the final end of the protagonist group seems not to be very good?

Especially with the character of Mr. Porter who likes depressing works, he is likely to make trouble in this work. If you don't say it in advance, you may be pitted by this guy!

"Tragedy? How is that possible?" Hao Ren gave Yui Yuino a thumbs up, showing his white teeth: "It's a very touching ending!"

At most, the death of a young general Tokugawa Shigemo, Sasaki Izaburo, Okita Mitsuha and other characters in the comics will make fans cry!

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

But...

Hao Ren touched his chin.

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