SWDnovel Chapter 179 Unconventional Hero! Hope Flying Forward!
Chapter 179 Unconventional Hero! Hope Flying Forward!
After the airing of episode 29 of the second season of "Ultraman Dyna", titled "In the Light of Destiny".
The forums, online communities, and Weibo hashtags related to tokusatsu (special effects films) were almost entirely dominated by the father-son duo "Shin Asuka" and "Shin Kazuma".
If the earlier episodic series showcased Dyna's fighting prowess and the character development of the Super GUTS team, the feature film "Star Warriors" revealed Asuka's resolve in dire straits.
Episode 29 thoroughly dissects the core essence of the character "Shin Asuka" without reservation, revealing it to everyone.
"I'm not in it for winning or losing, I'm in it to fly forward!"
This line went viral overnight, becoming a motto for countless young people, working people, and even students struggling with endless homework.
Faced with such immense popularity and profound topics, "Kanpianwang," a top-tier Bilibili tokusatsu content creator, naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass him by.
It happened just the day after the series aired.
A 30-minute in-depth video analyzing a key figure is released on time!
The video title is extremely eye-catching:
[The most hardcore analysis online: From an annoying troublemaker to a pioneer of the stars! The transformation of the unconventional hero, Shin Asuka!]
As soon as the video passed the review, hundreds of thousands of viewers flooded the playback page like a tidal wave.
The screen lights up.
"Brothers! Let's use the barrage of comments for protection!"
The talkative film critic got straight to the point, speaking rapidly and without any beating around the bush, "Did everyone watch episode 29 last night? Weren't you all blown away by it?"
A dense barrage of comments instantly flooded the screen:
[First! First! Take your seats in the front row!]
[I just finished crying last night, and I'm going to start crying again today after watching Kan Ge's analysis!]
[Asuka's performance in this episode was absolutely phenomenal! He was incredibly cool!]
Tell me quickly, I can't wait!
"Today, we won't talk about special effects or action scenes."
The film critic's smile faded, and his expression turned serious. "Let's have an in-depth discussion about the absolute core of this drama—the character Xin Feibiao!"
"Everyone, think back to more than half a year ago, when Dyna first started airing, what were the online opinions about the main character, Asuka?"
Kanpianwang tapped a few times on the keyboard, and the video immediately cut to several screenshots from early forums.
The screenshots are full of complaints:
"Isn't the male lead too arrogant?"
"How can someone who doesn't understand any rules be allowed into the Super GUTS team?"
"He's nowhere near as composed as Daigo; he's just annoying to look at!"
"..."
"That's right, that's how Asuka was perceived in the early days."
The movie critic shrugged. "Many people dislike him, thinking he's arrogant, impulsive, and doesn't follow orders, often causing all sorts of blunders. Compared to Daigo from Ultraman Tiga, Asuka is practically a negative example."
Many longtime fans echoed this sentiment in the comments:
To be honest, I really wanted to jump into the screen and punch him during the first three episodes.
At the time, I really felt he was getting too cocky, treating the fight like a game.
Daigo is like a god, and Asuka is like Jiahao from the next class.
"but!"
The film critic abruptly changed the subject, raising his voice sharply, "That's precisely what makes director Gu Nan so brilliant! From the very beginning, he never intended to create a second flawless Daigo!"
"What kind of person is Daigo? He is gentle, calm, and almost has an innate divinity. When he speaks in the team, it's even a bit like a good student answering a question in class. He has a lot of inner thoughts and always shoulders the responsibility alone."
"But birds are different!"
The film critic pointed to the screen showing a bird grinning in a Mars base.
"Asuka is an extremely rare 'unconventional hero'!"
"He didn't want to be a savior in the public eye, nor did he want to be some tragic hero. He possessed the fiery passion and youthful vigor of youth, even a touch of humor and arrogance. He was a flesh-and-blood, flawed ordinary person!"
Yes, yes, yes! The birds are so realistic!
That's the charm of unconventional heroes!
[Actually, Daigo is too perfect, which makes him seem distant. Asuka, on the other hand, is like an ordinary person we might know.]
Who hasn't been a bit wild in their youth?
The movie critic took a sip of water and continued talking.
"But beneath this seemingly carefree exterior, Asuka harbors a deep-seated trauma: the disappearance of his father, Kazuma Shin."
The video then switched to a scene from the movie "Star Warriors," where Asuka's psychological defenses are shattered by Desfasa's cannon fire, and he collapses in the ruins.
Why does he fight so hard? Why does he always say, "The real battle is just beginning"? Because he's afraid!
"He was afraid of disappearing in the light like his father, and he was afraid that he wasn't strong enough to protect his companions. So he used arrogance to cover up his inner confusion."
"But the Super Victory family changed him."
The scene flashes by in turn: Captain Hibiki's roar, Miyako's stern reprimand, Kaneshima's scientific analysis, Koda's steady support, and Kawama's sweet smile.
"Captain Hibiki was like a strict old father, teaching him what true responsibility is. Ryo-senpai used his fists and slaps to pull him back from the brink of impulsiveness time and time again."
"With the help of these people, Asuka gradually shed his arrogance and became calm and confident. He began to understand that every bit of his strength he used was to protect the people and things he wanted to protect!"
The mood of the comments section also became relaxed and warm as the commentator explained.
[Super Victory Team is the best home!]
[The captain is truly the best life mentor in the entire series!]
[Senior Liang: Disobedient? Take this first, it'll be a punch from me!]
Speaking of Ryo, Mai is also a great choice; she even mentioned liking Dyna in the movie!
[CP shippers are here! I ship Asuka and Ryo! The bickering couple is the sweetest!]
The film critic couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the discussion about the couple suddenly veer off-topic in the live chat.
"We won't go into too much detail about the romance today. After all, for someone like Asuka to have both a mature woman like Ryo-senpai and a loli like Mai fall for her at the same time, it just goes to show that she has the protagonist's halo."
"Let's get back to the main topic and return to episode 29!"
The King of Talking Movies' eyes became incredibly sharp, and the background music of the video switched to a rousing variation of "Dyna".
"In this episode, Asuka finally achieves the complete fulfillment of his character arc!"
"In the past, many people who watched tokusatsu (special effects) felt that the core themes of Ultraman were all similar, nothing more than justice, kindness, and courage. But Director Gu Nan made an extremely profound distinction in 'Ultraman Tiga' and 'Ultraman Dyna'!"
The movie critic held up two fingers.
"The core ideas of Daigo's Ultraman Tiga are 'hero' and 'resistance.' It explores humanity's struggle against fate—Who am I? Does humanity need heroes? The final answer is that humanity must rely on itself; we ourselves are heroes."
"The core idea of Shin Asuka's 'Dyna' can be summed up in two words—hope and the 'exploration' of the unknown!"
On the screen, a scene from episode 29 was shown, showing Shin Kazuma piloting the Plasma Hyakushiki towards the light.
"In the drama, Shin Yat-ma constantly repeats the question: 'Where should I go?'"
"This question was directed at himself, at the birds, and at all of human civilization!"
"As Asuka sat in the cockpit of the Plasma Hyakushiki, enduring the tearing force of gravity, and recalling Sergeant Daimon's furious scolding, he finally understood!"
The original audio is reproduced in the video.
The bird, its face covered in sweat, yet its eyes remained crystal clear: "I... am not flying for victory or defeat. I am flying to... move forward!"
"boom!"
As this line was replayed in the video, the live stream chat exploded with comments once again!
[That's the line! It got me so excited last night!]
[To fly forward! This is the spirit of Dyna!]
It's not about winning, it's about exploring the unknown!
The scope of the discussion expanded instantly!
The movie critic slammed his fist on the table, his voice even trembling slightly.
"Brothers! This line, 'Flying to move forward,' is definitely more than just a cringeworthy line! Director Gu Nan is using the guise of tokusatsu (special effects) to deliver a grand and uplifting message to the main theme!"
"Think about the real world!"
"Since ancient times, humanity's yearning for the sky and the universe has never ceased!"
"From ancient people gazing at the stars to the Wright brothers inventing the airplane; from the launch of the first artificial satellite to humans setting foot on the moon; and now to our Xia country's space station and Mars probe!"
"How many pioneers like Shin Yi-ma paid the ultimate price in their exploration of the unknown?"
"The universe is cold and cruel. The road ahead is fraught with unknown monsters, black holes, and meteorites. Just like the explosive limit that a bird faces!"
"But did humanity stop? No!"
The film critic was in high spirits and shouted loudly at the camera.
Why do birds always appear so energetic and passionate? Because they represent humanity's inexhaustible spirit of exploration! They represent the light of hope that never gives up!
"Zero-drive is not just a technological breakthrough; it symbolizes humanity's courage to break free from the shackles of gravity and venture towards the stars!"
"When Asuka shattered the comet monster Gegared in space, it wasn't just Ultraman defeating a monster. It was humanity's courage overcoming the fear of the deep universe!"
"With this episode, Director Gu Nan has sung a magnificent hymn to the aerospace industry for all mankind, and to all those who have dedicated themselves to exploring the universe!"
"Our predecessors transformed into starlight for their dreams; we, the descendants, inherit this will and continue to soar!"
"This is the true cosmic romance that Ultraman Dyna wants to convey!"
The video ends with a freeze-frame of a bird looking out at the boundless universe, smiling through its tears as it says, "I'm still alive."
The film critic took a deep breath, his tone returning to calm and gentle.
"Shinobi Asuka, this once annoying troublemaker, has finally grown into a true pioneer of the stars."
"For him, and for all of humanity, the march forward will never stop."
"Just like Asuka's catchphrase—"
The film critic suddenly swung his fist at the camera:
"The real battle is about to begin!!!"
"Alright, that concludes this analysis. If you were also moved by this ray of hope, please like, comment, and subscribe! See you next time!"
The progress bar is full, the video is over.
After a brief black screen.
The entire comment section of Bilibili was filled with heated discussions.
The audience's emotions were completely ignited by the commentary of the "King of Talking Movies," and the shock of elevating the tokusatsu plot to the spirit of real spaceflight made countless people's scalps tingle.
This is amazing!
After listening to the analysis, I realized that this episode was actually paying tribute to aerospace workers!
"The predecessors have become starlight, and the successors continue to soar"—this sentence is so well-written, it brought tears to my eyes.
It's absolutely true. Exploring the universe is never a dinner party; it's a journey through the unknown, paved with our lives.
Dyna's vision is indeed grand, shifting from Tiga's focus on protecting Earth to Dyna's exploration of the universe. The setting of a new era is truly not just empty talk!
[If anyone dares to say Dyna lacks depth again, I'll throw this Kanye West video in their face!]
Old Tang had just finished watching the analysis episode of "King of Talking Movies" with his viewers in his live stream room.
He let out a long breath, took off his headphones, and rubbed his sore eyes.
"Brothers, I have to admit, he's a true intellectual. A cultured person is a cultured person. Kan Ge's elevation of the series has directly raised the level of episode 29 to another level."
Old Tang spoke into the microphone, his tone filled with deep emotion.
"Gu Laozei's scripts are truly always fresh and new."
"Look at these comments, how many people suddenly became interested in space exploration because of this episode and this analysis?"
The live stream chat wasn't just filled with comments like "Dyna is awesome," but also included many touching messages.
A salute to all space heroes!
Our Xia Nation's aerospace engineers are the real-life Super Victory Team!
The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage! Marching towards the stars and the sea!
I'm a senior in high school this year, and I didn't know what major to apply for. After watching this episode, I've decided: I'm going to apply to an aerospace university! I'm going to build the zero-engine drive!
Watching this red, high-level bullet comment drift by.
Old Tang couldn't help but laugh.
"Good job! Best of luck to this guy preparing for the aerospace engineering exam!"
"This is the most awesome work of art! It not only makes you feel good and cry, but it can also genuinely influence a person's life trajectory and bring you positive energy!"
Old Tang looked at the camera, his eyes gleaming.
"The character of Shin Asuka transforms from an arrogant man into a warrior carrying the dreams of spaceflight and the hopes of humanity. His transformation is a microcosm of all of us."
"There aren't many people in life who have a smooth life. Most of them are ordinary people like birds, who make mistakes, feel lost, feel afraid, and even get beaten up by monsters."
"But as long as we still have that drive to 'fly forward' in our hearts, as long as we don't give up."
"Then our light will never be extinguished!"
Old Tang raised his bottle of soda and gave a toast to the camera.
"Respect to the birds! Respect to that old rascal! And respect to all of us who keep moving forward in life!"
"Cheers!"
【Cheers! ! ! 】
Fly forward!
The real battle is just beginning!
That night, discussions about "Flying Birds" and praises for "space exploration" lingered on the internet in this parallel world.
Dyna's brilliance not only illuminated the new era in the drama, but also touched the hearts of countless real-life viewers.
