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

Chapter 139 The Audience's Choice

"Master Kazama, please use your strength: Did you see that? The actor who played Manyo Kazama reproduced the secret technique that only existed in the comics, Rakshasa's Broken Horn, in one take!"

"Harada attacks everything: It's too exaggerated. There is no camera cut at all, and the dagger is not a special effect. How many times does it take to succeed once?"

"I am a great young master, but I am not as skilled as others..."

Manye Kazama lowered his head, his palms were red like a spring, watering the sea of ​​chrysanthemums.

"Canju ghost, from now on, make good use of your limited life."

He looked at Hijikata Toshizo, who had fallen to the ground exhausted, and Chiyo, who was guarding beside him, with a complicated expression...

"Ah, I'll show you how to do it."

Hijikata Toshizo raised his head and looked at him with a smile.

"Humph."

The final episode of "The Withered Chrysanthemum and the Sword" ends with the scene of Kazama Manye's rebellious figure disappearing in the depths of a brilliant sea of ​​chrysanthemums.

The subsequent story is explained through simple narration, including how Hijikata Toshizo faked his death and lived a secluded life with Chiyo.

"Master Kazama, please use your strength: The most frustrating part of the Hijikata line is this duel! Hijikata Toshizo was clearly exhausted, while Master Kazama only had a hand injury that could be recovered in a few minutes. But he deliberately missed his last secret move and chose to admit defeat. What a boundless love!"

"Hijikata Honmeitenjo: Although I support Hijikata, I have to admit that Kazama's self-sacrifice here is not only to fulfill Chiyo's love, but also to make Hijikata Toshizo give up the idea of ​​being buried with the Shinsengumi and avoid repeating the tragedy in history. He is a very qualified villain and male supporting role..."

"Master Kazama, please be strong: villain and supporting actor? Do you want to check out the plot of Kazama's line? A character named 'Hijikata' didn't even have a chance to appear in the second half..."

"Harada attacks everything: By the way, aren't we here to find fault? Why are we arguing over the plot again?"

I don’t know if it’s because the content is too exciting or because of insufficient funding and limited time, but the representatives of the "Canju Tianzhu Project Command Group" always felt that they were still not satisfied when the credits of the final episode were almost over.

"Saito didn't say anything: Um, now that we've finished watching the show, what's next? Are we still going as planned and giving the member rating of 0.1?"

"Harada's All-Powerful Attack: The previous episodes were so bad, why do I feel guilty and can't finish them after watching the final episode?"

It was late at night, and most of the fans who had been playing the game idle had already gone to sleep and would only start rating as planned the next morning.

Those who have stayed online until now have basically watched the final episode verbatim and are waiting for the "rating instructions."

Each character in the play has made their own choices about their feelings and missions...

Now, it's the audience's turn. "Master Kazama, please use your strength: Sorry, everyone. After internal discussion, we, the sisters of the Kazama faction, believe that the performance of Kazama Manyo in the final episode is so realistic that it breaks the dimensional wall, and the plot is also very exciting and consistent with the original work. We decided to give it a score of at least 9. The 1 point deducted is for the ending of 'Hijikata Line'."

After a moment's silence, the Kazama faction was the first to speak out.

"Hikata's Destiny Lady: Kazama Manyo's performance was outstanding, and it also better set off Hijikata's tragic and resoluteness in the last scene. I really can't bear to give it 0.1 points..."

"Higata Honmeitenjo: Sorry, this is an emergency. Our Hijikata faction has been infiltrated by the evil traitors of the 'Higata Fencing Faction'! They have begun to spread AI face-changing real-life horseless fencing GIFs in the group in an organized manner. We are currently purging them internally... If you can't reach a consensus for the time being, sisters from each faction can freely rate according to their own feelings."

The representatives of the mortal enemy Hijikata faction fell into "internal division" for some strange reason and stopped expressing their opinions.

Hijikata Toshizo's role is originally the most "normal" in the play. After acting opposite the even more outstanding Kazama Manyo, he fully demonstrated the highlight moments of his character. In fact, they are the group with the least reason to receive "bad reviews".

"Souji's Widow: Damn it, the two factions with the largest number of people surrendered first. Where can we, Souji, avenge our "eating shit"?"

"Saito said nothing: You, the 'Souji faction', were the ones who gave the most malicious negative reviews earlier, and that's about enough to make me feel better. Although this last episode was obviously underfunded and had a shabby vibe, the quality is indeed impeccable."

"Fujidou Kazuma said: Yes, the production quality of the final episode is great, the camera language is perfect, the atmosphere is well-created, and the war scenes are also very realistic. I checked and found that Director Nakano, who took over halfway, is from the 'SUN Advertising Company' that boasts movie-level shooting standards and only shoots high-quality amateur commercials. It seems that he is quite capable."

"Harada attacks everything: The performances of the main actors are also very wonderful, not to mention the two talented actors of the new generation, Shirakawa Rika and Sakamoto Shu. But the most unique one is the actor who plays Manyo Kazama. He is very good-looking, his acting is impeccable, and his swordplay is solid. In just two scenes, he makes the character come alive. It's like he is a special actor of 'Manyo Kazama'."

"Master Kazama, please use force: Just a reminder, the above recognition is only for the final episode. We refuse to acknowledge that the previous episodes have any relationship with "The Broken Chrysanthemum and the Sword". The negative reviews of individual episodes will continue to be posted."

The two factions with the largest number of members have shown signs of decline, and the other factions, with the previous episodes as a comparison, were also conquered by the quality of the final episode and did not have many opinions.

The "Canju Heavenly Punishment Plan" that was originally planned with great fanfare came to a halt and fell into a chaotic state of "people can comment on it however they want".

"Master Kazama, please use more force: By the way, this little brother who plays our Master Kazama wants to 'push', but it seems that he has never seen him before. Does any sister know this person?"

The word "推" was originally a professional term in the fan circle, and later it became popular for two-dimensional characters and voice actors to express the degree of "more than likes but less than fans".

"Harada's name in the cast and crew list is 'Xia Fan', but I can't find any relevant information on the Internet. It seems that he has never acted in a TV series before."

"Saito said nothing: Impossible, with this kind of looks, acting skills and skills, how could he be a newcomer who has never filmed a drama?! Then what were those 'vases' before, fertilized eggs?"

The change of the director and production team behind the scenes cannot be felt directly. The quality of the final episode is very different from that of the previous ones. Subjectively, it is all supported by the charming villain "Man'e Kazama" who made a brilliant appearance and performed well...

Therefore, as they recalled the exciting content of the final episode, the fans' attention naturally fell on the actor who played "Manyo Kazama".
