If you can't beat him, you have to improve your strength, but there are not many ways to improve your strength. Technology seems to be a good path, but Takasugi Shinsuke knows that the Tiandaozhong has mastered the most advanced technology in the universe. Even if he has the Demon Sword Hongying
He is not a virtual opponent. As an anti-foreigner, the high technology he has access to is limited.
Looking for companions and becoming stronger together is not in line with Takasugi Shinsuke's character. He is a villain, how can he be embarrassed to find others to cooperate? Cooperation is okay, but it is not him who seeks his companions, but his companions who need his strength. He must be
It is an indispensable part, so that he can save face. Let him take the initiative to ask for help? No way.
Then there is only one way in the end, and that is mutation. Changing your body to become stronger quickly, although there are many uncontrollables, is at least an opportunity.
In order to defeat Xu, he must enter hell. Even if the risk is high, he has to take the risk, because Xu is really too powerful.
Only by fighting against each other can you know the gap between the two sides. If you don't change your body, there is no way to catch up.
Takasugi Jinsuke looked at Dulan and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I'll take the first step." Although he knew that Dulan was very powerful, he didn't want to owe Dulan any favors. After understanding the route, he could go find it by himself.
strength.
There are plenty of mutated drugs in this universe, which can be used when needed.
Du Lan didn't say anything, thinking that Takasugi Jinsuke really wanted to save face and suffer the consequences. He clearly recognized the path of companions in his heart, but because of the problem of face, he would rather mutate than choose companions. Do you insist that companions go to him? He really thinks of himself.
The dishes are served.
"As a villain, it's not a good thing to have too high a level." Duran knows very well that some villains appear with too high a level, which makes the audience's expectations too high. When the villain fails later, the audience simply cannot accept it. High level also means that the villain does what he does.
Bind your hands and feet.
Takasugi Shinsuke seems to be a serious villain in comedy works. He has a very strong character, but it is difficult to maintain such a strong character.
If the villain always maintains a high level of strength and always wins, then it is no longer "Gintama", but "Takasugi Ghost". If the villain has a high level of strength, he cannot fail. Once he fails, he will easily fall from the altar.
Therefore, how to arrange the failure of a high-level villain is a difficult problem. If the reason for failure is too weak, then the high-level character created in the early stage will be completely ruined.
If the protagonist's strength increases and he finally defeats the villain head-on, then it would be better to end it directly. If it continues, the combat effectiveness will collapse.
Because there is definitely a ceiling for high-level villains, and it is already a ceiling for the protagonist to defeat the opponent with hard power. It will be difficult to break through the ceiling.
Not only high-level villains in long-term works have this problem, but supporting characters who appeared in the early stages also have this problem.
For example, the supporting characters in "One Piece" don't have domineering power in the early stage, but in the later stage, domineering is a magical skill. Without domineering, they would be embarrassed to go to sea. Characters who are very powerful in the early stage do not have domineering, and they become a joke in the later stage.
In short, if the force level is too high, the extremes of things will be reversed. If the force level is too high, it will be difficult to land safely.
Dulan thought that a villain should be as good as water and be hated by everyone. He should keep a low profile, try more and fail more, learn more advanced science and technology, and put himself in the position of a challenger instead of being ignorant.
The position of the defending champion is high and the sky is high.
Villains are non-mainstream, non-mainstream challenges the mainstream, and mainstream defends their own status. However, many villains have an attitude of "I am the mainstream, I am the right one", and they do not have the humility of challengers at all.
Du Lan has always believed that villains are very capable of execution, but their attitude is too arrogant, their understanding of problems is also very shallow, and they are completely unable to see the essence through the phenomenon.
Takasugi Shinsuke said, "The swordsmith forges the sword, and the sword is used to kill people. What is the meaning of a samurai?" But just think about it and you will know that the samurai decides when and who to chop with the sword. It is a very simple question, but he seems not to know. Of course.
Maybe he knows, but he can't admit it.
But even if you don't admit it, just raising questions without giving answers is meaningless.
In the past, samurai were loyal to their lord, but the shogunate was not worthy of loyalty. Takasugi Shinsuke wanted to be loyal to his teacher, but his teacher died. He was confused. What was the meaning of samurai? In fact, there is another answer, which is to be loyal to the people.
But Takasugi Shinsuke, like most samurai, looked down upon the common people at all. What was the standard of the common people? How could they be qualified for samurai to protect them?
Just like in "Seven Samurai", in the eyes of the samurai, the common people are ignorant, selfish, tricky, and prone to lying. Then the samurai in it said that the samurai was the one who caused all this, so the Seven Samurai died for the common people.
In the movie, only the Seven Samurai protect the people. In reality, too, there are very few samurai who will stand with the people. Gintoki is one, who protects Kabukicho, but there are only a few of them.
Takasugi Shinsuke asked what a samurai was. In fact, he knew in his heart that a samurai existed to fight for others. But the problem was that he didn't know who he should fight for, so he didn't give an answer.
There is no answer. It's because he has too high a style. He is not as down-to-earth as Gintoki. He makes jokes and doesn't look like a samurai at all. He seems to be a bastard, not even a ronin. When he has no money, he does odd jobs and is punished.
The contractors scolded them, and the pet owners scolded them for looking for cats and dogs. They were also threatened by heavenly beings and evil forces, and the people often found various reasons to owe money, and even the wages could not be paid. Therefore, the risks of protecting the people were
It's big, but the benefits are small. Any warrior who isn't stupid can't choose to protect the people.
What happened to the Seven Samurai? They died and turned into graves. Even if they won, what could the people give them? A few eggs, a few pots of sake? Will they risk their lives for this little food?
Takasugi Shinsuke is not stupid, he is just too smart to become Gintoki.
But at the critical moment, when Gintoki was fighting alone, the people of Kabukicho could still stand up and support him. Of course, these were not Gintoki's original intentions, but what he gained with his sincerity after hard work.
Du Lan said that Takasugi Shinsuke still looks down on the common people in his heart, and it can even be said that many villains are like this. They maintain their own class. Once they give up their class, the strong character they created will disappear.
"Strong characters created through class will eventually fail due to stupidity." Duran is very clear about this kind of work. Class cannot be defeated, so the villain can only fail in a very weak-minded method, showing it as a personal failure. If the villain
The author would not be able to write this kind of work if he really betrayed his own class.
Takasugi Shinsuke's character is that of a confused samurai walking on the road of revenge. Although it causes harm to innocent people, it can still resonate with the confused audience. Because when you are confused, you feel that everyone around you is.
The enemy cannot satisfy himself or give himself an answer.
But the only one who can really give the answer is yourself, not others. The answers of others belong to others, not to you. Therefore, when confused people ask questions, they still have to ask and answer their own questions in the end.
Some people are unable to answer even though they know the answer due to class limitations. For example, Takasugi Shinsuke, he should know that Gintoki is right, but his class character cannot allow him to integrate into the common people.
The more the comparison, the more difficult it is for Gintoki. Although he did not give up his identity as a samurai, he worked hard to integrate into the common people, and he can be regarded as the Seven Samurai of the new era.
However, the samurai died at the end of "Seven Samurai", and you can imagine how difficult the path Gintoki chose was.
Takasugi Shinsuke still has to remain confused, pretending to be confused while pretending to understand. As a samurai, he has lost his allegiance to the target. If he has nothing to protect, he can find something to destroy, and he can still swing his sword.
