898. Chapter 898 Scene 898 The Resurrected Allen
The author of "Detective Conan" personally explained the details and reached "there is only one conclusion in the truth", which made everyone convinced. Even Masami Tatsuda, the author of "Saint Seiya", who has always never died in any way, also agreed with regret:
"I also agree with Teacher Aoyama's inference. If it is another comic, everything will be possible. It depends on the arrangement of the script author. However, this movie "Attack on Titan". Director Li Xiaole, who wrote the script, has a strict set of story logic. Just look at the knowledge details and plot arrangements he introduced in each chapter. Director Li Xiaole is a completely realistic author. He carefully arranged the plot with movie-level logic~
So far, there are no magic and superpower skills in "Attack on Titan", no priests, no high technology, no spells, and limited medicine. We can imagine that if Allen wants to resurrect and continue the story? Then how can he be resurrected?"
In the show, whether it was the three cartoonists or the audience's interviews, it seemed that everyone felt that Allen could not be resurrected. The situation was no longer possible for the playwright Li Xiaole, because in the previous story, he had forced himself to death and had no way out. If Allen was resurrected, but was resurrected inexplicably, it would completely break the atmosphere of despair and horror before the comic. However, if Allen died like this, then the plot that lost the support of the protagonist in the fourth week would inevitably fall sharply...
In any case, "Attack on Titan" seems to have a decline in popularity in the reader questionnaire. The question is just how much it has dropped. Who will he and "The Devil's Dad" eventually die? This is also a huge question mark. You must know that this result will directly affect the success or failure of the movie version of "Slam Dunk".
During the week waiting for the next episode of "Boy Jump" to be released, people in Japan were discussing this news, and "Allen's Life and Death" became the answer that everyone wanted to know the most.
The craze for "Attack on Titan" is fermenting throughout Japan, and the senior executives of other comic clubs also know it, but they all smiled and shook their heads. The protagonist Alan died? The whole thing is over, and the classic comics that pass by like a meteor? Only simple readers will believe it. The spokesperson of Kotanshe, Shueisha's biggest competitor, immediately raised strong doubts about these remarks.
First of all, if the protagonist Alan dies like this, why doesn’t Li Xiaole put the climax scene in the fourth week but the third week? You should know that these three weeks are double page serialization, and Li Xiaole can completely reduce the length and drag the popularity to the end of the month to decide the outcome with his opponent; in addition, this comic really ends so soon, how could Shueisha let a comic master like Kei Zhenghe serve as an assistant to Li Xiaole?
More importantly, in the interview program of Fuji TV, the three cartoonists who appeared, Tokuya Yoshihiro, Aoyama Takamasa and Shita Masami, are all comic artists under Shueisha, especially Tokuya Yoshihiro, one of the three kings of Japanese comics, have always participated in TV programs. How could it be possible that Fuji TV can invite him this time without the instructions from Shueisha's senior executives behind it?
Therefore, in several interviews, the spokesperson of Kotanshe tried to refute the rumor of "Allen's death": "Will the protagonist die? This is impossible. Even if Li Xiaole dares to edit it, Shueisha will not let him draw it like this~~"
Many media naturally would not give up. They began to investigate the truth behind this "Allen's Life and Death" discussion. When they were determined to investigate, it would be easy to get the truth. There is no airtight wall in the world, not to mention that so many editors from Shueisha have read the storyboard of "Attack on Titan".
So the Tokyo Newspaper immediately got the truth. The editor of Kotanshe's "Young MAGAZINE" said: "Isaiyama has come to us to contribute. Many of us have read the original manuscript of "Attack on Titan" three years ago. Although the story is a little different from now, it is the same in creativity. It is not a short comic, but a super long one. Yes~ the protagonist has always been alone, and he has not died... The plot in the middle has been too long, and I can't remember it."
In another comic magazine's primary school library, an editor who reviewed the work said: "Oh, I've read this comic, not in "Youth Jump", but found it in the company's submission box. It was definitely a long story. The protagonist was not dead. As long as we nodded, the comic would belong to us, but you know, we finally rejected the young man named Isaiyama Chuang. To be honest, we regret it now, and an editor in the company was suspended for this... Alas, this draft was too ordinary at the beginning..."
Then the reporter went to the printing factory and found the printing worker responsible for printing "Boys jump". The worker took out a printing order for "Boys jump" this month: "I don't know the content in the magazine, but Shueisha gave us the order for "Boys jump" in the next month, each issue of "Boys jump" will exceed 3 million. I think if "Attack on Titan" is completed, then the sales shouldn't be so much."
The evidence is conclusive. As soon as this report from the Tokyo Shimbun was released, the rumors on the Internet that Shueisha deliberately created "Allen died" were self-defeating.
In response to this, Shueisha and Li Xiaole have been prepared for this. The mysterious propaganda technique is just to hope that it will arouse people's appetite. Because things are getting bigger, as long as you continue to investigate, the truth will be revealed. As long as people's curiosity is sensational, the "Allen's Life and Death" puzzle can be successfully retired. When things develop to this current situation, even if the audience knows that Allen will be resurrected, they will still buy the next issue of "Boy Jump".
Because people will be even more curious, how can such a rigorous comic that resurrect the protagonist Alan? And it is also convincing. Almost everyone is talking about this matter, how can they miss it? Young people are unwilling to fall behind. When they hear the topics others are talking about, they must understand and read this comic.
Therefore, the promotional focus of "Attack on Titan" has long been shifted to the method of "How Allen is resurrected?". Shueisha adopted Li Xiaole's suggestion and held an activity on Shueisha's official forum to "draw how Allen is resurrected" in the event. The way to participate in the event is very simple. Just draw a few strokes and use the simplest way to draw the way Allen is resurrected, even a child's four-frame painting is fine.
Then in the answers announced for the top three of the closest results, the winners can get a naming right for the important new characters in Attack on Titans.
In this competition, everyone's sense of participation was also bursting with all kinds of "Allen's Resurrection comics", such as Allen is actually a vampire, Allen was saved by aliens, Allen evolved and transformed in the giant's belly, etc...
So when the report of the Tokyo Shimbun was released, Shueisha clarified the facts generously. Editor-in-chief Fujii admitted to the media that this work will be a long-term serialized story. Now the storyboards drawn by Li Xiaole and Isayama Chuang can support more than 5 years of content and will never be completed in a short period of time.
5 years of storyboard? Everyone else was shocked! Oh my God... Li Xiaole actually entered the comics industry not just to have a fun, but to do something big. Is he ready for a story for 5 years? But how can such a comic that relies on evil comics and spreads horror and despair to maintain popularity for five years? You know, "Death Notes" that was popular before only lasted for only two years. Is Shueisha too hasty?
Amid this doubt and doubt, the issue of "Youth Jump" that finally decided on the victory or defeat was launched. On that day, almost all bookstores, book stalls, and newsstands were sold out as soon as it was launched~~
When people opened the magazine, they saw the perspective of the world that Allen saw in the last moment before death. Allen opened his eyes widened. He knelt in his mouth in horror and numbness, his eyes shook violently, just like five years ago, he could only watch the people around him, torn to pieces by giants in front of him. The blood splashed everywhere was like scattered petals, charming and cruel, and the warm blood dripped on Allen's cheeks, but this time it was his own blood... He trembled with his body, clenched his fists, and his nails were deeply trapped in his palms...
"Why~! Why~! After five years, I am no longer the cowardly me before, why am I still trembling and trembling in front of them, just like those humans running around, weak like pigs at the mercy of others. The last time I saw the world... The collapsed and broken rubble of people trembled with the running of giants pouring in from all directions...
Then Alan heard the sound of his bones shattering...death...come~~"Wooahhhhhhhhh--"The thick beast-like roared in his heart, as if the whole world was crying... Then there was a darkness...
Chapter completed!
