Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 138 Famous Scene

The "Kazama Faction" and the "Hijikata Faction" have always been at odds with each other and have been arguing on the Internet for years. If it weren't for the devastating blow of this live-action comic adaptation, they would never have united.

At this moment, as soon as the "Kazama Faction" showed signs of wavering, the "Hichikata Faction" immediately began to run wild, and the chat group was instantly filled with gunpowder.

"Toudou took the lead: Stop arguing, it's almost time for Hijikata Toshizo and Kazama Manyo to duel, leave your quarrel to the characters to resolve."

"Saito doesn't say anything: So far, the plot is smooth, the details are reasonable, the characters are natural, and there is no feeling of "out of play" at all. It's like reading the comics again. Except for a few bloopers, I haven't found any major problems. Let's take a look..."

After dissuading the "Kazama faction" and the "Hijikata faction" from their daily quarrels, everyone continued watching.

Under the escort of Manyo Kazama, Chiyo safely reached Ezo Island, joined the Shinsengumi army, and finally came to Hijikata Toshizo as she wished.

Relying on his strong personal strength and strategy, Hijikata Toshizo inflicted heavy losses on the Choshu-Satsuma coalition twice in succession, but he was still no match for the tide of history. Faced with internal and external troubles, he retreated to Hakodate Goryokaku.

In the Battle of Hakodate, he fought a desperate battle, was seriously injured, and was separated from the main force...

With Chiyo's support, the two arrived at the destined sea of ​​chrysanthemums.

"Still...alive."

Then, the domineering and cold-blooded young master of the ghost clan appeared from the other side of the chrysanthemum sea...

"Since you took the potion and turned into a black Rakshasa, you must know that this kind of creature cannot be tolerated in this world."

"I'm here to root out the weeds."

The murderous intent of the unsheathed sword was enough to make the surrounding chrysanthemums tremble and their stamens automatically split.

"Someone has come from afar to challenge me. As a true warrior, how can I refuse?"

"I will fight for my integrity... Chiyo, you must see me to the end."

Hijikata Toshizo, played by Hide Sakamoto, had his long black hair turn pure white and his pupils turned blood-red at the moment he drew his sword, and he entered the form of "Black Rakshasa".

"Higata Honmeitenjo: Well, Sakamoto Hide's Hijikata Toshizo is basically acceptable. The transformation scene is not awkward, and the 'Black Rakshasa' look is also a plus."

In the face of Sakamoto Shuu's gorgeous transformation, which had been well-received in the aforementioned dramas, the Hijikata faction representatives were relatively restrained in their comments.

"…For the sake of loyalty?"

"You are neither human nor ghost now, what is the faith you are fighting for?!"

But when the camera turned, the close-up shot of Xia Fan's character Kazama Manye, with golden hair as white as snow, blood-red pupils turning into gold, and devil horns growing on his head, gave the audience in front of the screen an even wilder visual impact.

"One point of strength used, one point of life lost."

"You crave blood madly in order to survive, and you are destined to wither away."

"Life and death are fleeting, like chrysanthemums."

The moment he transformed into the "Rakshasa Royal Family", Fengjian Wanyekong swung his sword, causing the withered chrysanthemums in the sky to dance and the golden stamens to fall like rain.

"Master Kazama, please use your strength: this is the transformation of the Rakshasa royal family! I never thought that in my lifetime, I would be able to witness Master Kazama's wild real-life form with my own eyes. Even those COSers at comic conventions have not been able to recreate this set!"

The representative of the Kazama faction couldn't hold it anymore.

"Toudou leads the way: the actors are good-looking, and the makeup and special effects have improved, but there's no need to go crazy over and over again."

"Souji's Widow: Everyone knows the outcome of this duel on the Hijikata Line, there is no suspense. During the duel, the conflict and confrontation between the two people's feelings, beliefs and emotions are the key." To the audience's surprise, Kazama Manye and Hijikata Toshizo did not continue to "talk nonsense" like in other web dramas, but started fencing ruthlessly without saying much...

The two men had ferocious expressions and fought fiercely.

For a full thirty seconds, in the quiet sea of ​​flowers, there was no dialogue, only the dazzling flames and the harsh sound of collision when the swords collided.

"Saito doesn't say anything: The whole thing is real fighting. Is it because the crew is too poor, or do they have full confidence in the actors' swordsmanship? Not only is Kazama's actor a superb swordsman, but Sakamoto Shu's swordsmanship also seems to have improved a lot compared to the previous episodes."

The back-and-forth moves, the deadly sword beams, and the twists and turns of the battle made the audience in front of the screen subconsciously hold their breath.

Xia Fan plays Kazama Manye, with a fierce and furious expression, like a tireless sword-seeking ghost, who puts Hijikata Toshizo firmly at a disadvantage...

"Harada attacks everything with all his might: What a wild fighting style! Can that cold-blooded young master of the royal family actually show such a fearless expression?"

"Master Kazama, please use your strength. I can sense your anger at Hijikata for making Chiyo suffer, and your will to fight with all your might against an opponent you respect."

"Hijikata Honmeitenjo: Humph, you have good vision. Without Kazama's combat ceiling, how can we highlight the spirit of our Hijikata, an ordinary human, who dares to fight against the demons?"

With his clothes torn and blood splattered all over the sea of ​​flowers, Sakamoto Hide's Hijikata Toshizo always maintained a calm expression, and he maneuvered and fought with his opponent as steadily as a rock.

After struggling to withstand the opponent's fierce attack, he finally found an opportunity while Kazama Manye was distracted by Chiyo's "persuasion"...

He used the secret technique of the Tennen Rishin-ryu, the Dragon Tail Sword, by leaping forward with his entire body.

Faced with the sharp sword light and perfect special effects, Fengjian Manye gritted his teeth, raised his two swords and advanced instead of retreating.

Even so, he still couldn't completely catch Hijikata Toshizo's secret technique, and was stabbed in the shoulder, with blood splattering into the sky.

Not caring about their injuries at all, the two completely crazy people started another round of terrifying fencing.

"A fake name like 'Black Rakshasa' is not worthy of your life..."

"You are already a Rakshasa. I grant you the name of the Rakshasa clan..."

"…The ghost of the chrysanthemum."

Kazama Manye, whose body was covered in blood, was breathing heavily. His golden animal eyes were filled with admiration as they reflected Hijikata Toshizo, who was also hunched over and gasping.

"Higata Honmeitenjo: She appears! The famous scene that earned her the title of 'Zanjukuki'!"

"Master Kazama, please use your strength: It appears! The famous scene that gave the name 'The Broken Chrysanthemum Ghost'!"

This "famously named scene" represents the mutual recognition between mortal enemies. Its classic level is comparable to the high-five scene after the score is reversed in a certain basketball movie. Naturally, it aroused fanatical resonance among representatives of both factions.

"But I haven't fought until now for your approval. There's not much time left. Let's end it now."

"Of course, I'll kill you with one blow."

The duel was not over yet. The two men straightened their bodies and rushed forward again...

Manyo Kazama was like an evil ghost on earth. He threw the short sword in his left hand into the sky and collided wildly with the long sword in his right hand with Hijikata Toshizo's "Izumi no Kami Kanemasa".

The two passed each other, and the fatal dagger came down from mid-air towards Hijikata Toshizo who had no way to avoid it...

When it landed, it was so dangerous that only the corner of his clothes was scratched.
