Chapter 226 "The Noble Pope"!(1/2)
The protagonist group who has been with fans for so long lost one of their lives again today.
Of course, in the entire "Jojo", there are also supporting characters who sacrificed their lives, and this is not the first time.
In other words, in the three "Jojo" movies so far, there are always supporting characters who have been stabbed.
But this time, the response was even more explosive.
Abdel, who was directly swallowed to pieces in order to save his teammates, and Iqi, a dog who was tortured and seriously injured by the villain and finally died trying his best to save his teammates.
But this time, it was Kakyoin Noriaki.
In fact, most Jojo viewers have already prepared for the fact that there will be sacrifices in defeating the villain.
But near the end, this distinctive character who has accompanied us for thirty or forty episodes was stabbed one after another at the end.
It’s still a bit hard to bear.
What kind of knife makes people feel the most uncomfortable? And also sublimates the theme the most?
Naturally, he is an important character with a distinctive personality and has been with the audience for a long time.
The character of Kakyoin Noriaki has even more distinctive characteristics.
Kakyoin Noriaki's execution song "The Holy Pope", which was already quite popular among fans, has become more meaningful with the death of the character!!
At first, I just thought it sounded good and exciting.
But until now, many JO fans suddenly discovered that they understood what "nobility" means.
Kakyoin, who was already somewhat lonely, awakened the substitute "Green Pope" since he was a child.
But ordinary people can't see a substitute. Since childhood, no one, including his parents, has really understood Kakyoin.
Just like ordinary people.
There are too few people who really understand you.
Therefore, I was looking forward to making a "close friend", but I couldn't meet the same kind of Kakyoin, and lived alone for 17 years.
[How can I communicate true feelings with people who can’t even see the Green Pope? 】
similar!
Just like many people in real life, it is better to be deficient than to have excess.
I would rather walk alone than make some superficial friends.
His parents discovered that Kakyoin rarely communicated with friends, so they intentionally took him on a trip, hoping that he could get more warmth and comfort.
At the age of 17, while traveling in Egypt, he was controlled by the villain Dio with flesh sprouts and turned into a killer to assassinate the protagonist group.
However, the protagonist group saved Kakyoin regardless of their own danger and freed him from control.
When Kakyoin woke up, he felt warmth and sociability that he had never experienced before.
He is also a substitute messenger, and he also has a conflict of position with Dio.
I received care and warmth again.
Kakyoin, out of loyalty and repayment of kindness, embarks on a journey to Egypt with the protagonist.
Along the way, Kakyoin gained the true friendship he had longed for for seventeen years.
For this kind of person, he would rather not have shallow interpersonal communication, mediocre and boring chatting, this kind of "useless social interaction"!
And once this kind of person makes friends and truly meets like-minded people, he will be extremely loyal, considerate, have an extremely strong sense of responsibility, and hope to make his own contribution.
He is temperate, polite, and upright!
Along the way, Kakyoin stopped all the friends' impulses.
He is rational and always considers the safety of his companions and thinks about problems calmly.
When facing people who are suspected of being enemies, he always considers the facts from the most objective and impartial perspective.
When he encountered a cunning enemy, was misunderstood by his teammates, and couldn't explain it, despite his eagerness, he did not criticize his teammates harshly, but made his own efforts and attempts!
And every time he spoke, even if he laughed so hard that the ceiling of the recording studio was lifted, his words were always filled with polite honorifics.
Delicate, kind and gentle.
But full of courage.
Such a person, in extreme grief, holds back tears, calmly analyzes for the sake of the team, and stops impulsive teammates...
You can imagine how charming it is!
In the end, the friendship Kakyoin gained during this unforgettable fifty-day journey surpassed the bleak self that succumbed to fear!
In order to protect the people you respect, you sacrifice yourself and convey the enemy's most important information to your companions.
There is nothing more gorgeous and solemn and tragic than Kakyoin.
When I listen to "The Holy Pope" again, I feel that kind of nobility, that kind of pride and loyalty.
And that kind of tragedy.
Jo fans suddenly feel their scalp numb!
Yes!
This execution song, which was already loved by fans, didn’t really shine until the end!
After going through all kinds of characters, in the end, Kakyoin overcomes fear for his own ideals and friendship, stands in front of the darkness, uses the final attack, calmly faces his own death, and conveys the final message to his partners!
The golden spirit conveyed by this song "The Noble Pope" is truly understood by fans!
What is noble?!
It was an unyielding face that stood on the opposite side of darkness.
It is a figure that stands proudly in the face of fear!
This golden spirit known as "courage" is embodied in the calm but passionate Kakyoin, and he is Gao Jie!
When the original exciting execution song was played again, the unyielding, noble, proud, and tragic characters came to mind!
When they heard it again, fans felt an inexplicable surge of blood.
This kind of passion seems to be the power to face the darkness, a kind of courage that bursts out!!
Kakyoin Noriaki.
This anime character.
Accompanying the execution song.
The very general and abstract concept of "what is noble" is summarized to the audience with images and senses without words!!
Upright!
Even if you face a completely evil villain, even if you face any injustice, you will face it from an objective perspective and with the most upright heart!
Return favors!
Since he was saved by the protagonist, the protagonist has to face darkness and evil!
Then, I will stand up to repay both kindness and justice!!
It seems that he is just like what Confucius said about a gentleman!!
Repay kindness with kindness!
Repay your grievances directly!
Give back the golden spirit with noble virtue!
Face resentment with the most objective integrity!
Kakyoin Noriaki has always been afraid of Dio after being planted with a bud that controlled him.
But after 17 years of loneliness, in these 50 days of friendship, my own consciousness has truly been ignited!
Standing next to true like-minded friends is full of endless courage.
Under this noble courage, even death becomes so insignificant.
It seems that I didn't understand it until now.
The melodious string music ignites Kakyoin's noble courage to face the powerful fear!
The sudden pause of the music seemed to freeze time on the eve of death, which was the "stop of time" coming from Dio's stand-in ability.
When the last bass sang this hymn of courage and the hero was about to come to an end, Kakyoin, who was dying, did not feel any fear, fear, or pain.
The awareness at this time has surpassed fear!
I just want to convey the key information of the battle.
Give your hope to your most trusted partner!
at this time.
Regardless of this character.
This tragic plot.
It’s still this soundtrack.
In the hearts of fans, they have become extremely noble beings!!
Although this is a concept that can only be understood but cannot be expressed.
But there is no exception.
All the viewers felt what being noble means!!
To be continued...
