Chapter 55: Explosion is over

Eventually, the clerk was driven away by Nanaya with the excuse that "if you're dirty in your heart, don't make other people dirty too." After all, the current PTA can only protest a few times, and its power is far from being as great as it will be in the next few years.

They have no power to force the TV station to remove "Magical Girl Illya". After all, it's a rare opportunity to confront TV Asahi next door. How could TBS be willing to remove "Magical Girl Illya". Are they going to let the PTA people dress up in puppet costumes and perform in a stage play to fill the gap of "Magical Girl Illya"? Don't be ridiculous.

If the opposition is really too loud, Nanaya can just add some holy light to the already shot footage, and then release the full version in the form of a DVD. This way, he might be able to make more money from the DVD.

The "Tokyo Metropolitan Youth Development Ordinance Amendment" that gives the government the power to intervene in animation and special effects works was not introduced until 2010. Even if the butterfly Nanaya flapped its wings, with the administrative speed of the Japanese government, by the time they were able to control it, "Magic Idol" would have been released long ago, and by then it would have nothing to do with Nanaya at all.

So Nanaya didn't take this matter to heart at all, and instead watched TV with great interest.

At this moment on the TV screen, Illya and others finally found a way to win in the difficult situation.

With the help of Illya's magic, Miyu finally got the chance to get close to the Pharaoh Nito. With a flash of Vermillion's spear, the protagonist team finally got Caster's card back.

"Is this the same routine again?"

Looking at the cheering protagonists, Shiori Kaede felt a little regretful. Although the fight that lasted almost the entire episode was very exciting, the final ending still gave people a sense of déjà vu.

As a movie lover who has watched countless movies, Shiori Kaede certainly knows that this kind of ending is the most normal. After all, it would be a big problem if the protagonist team were completely wiped out. That kind of scene is not a good development at all, it's just shit.

Although I don't dislike Shiori Kaede, I still feel it's a bit cliché.

However, Shiori Kaede soon found out that he was wrong.

With the screams of the girls, the originally cheerful scene took a sharp turn for the worse.

Illya and Miyu, immersed in the joy of victory, turned around and saw Rin and Luvia lying in a pool of blood, and standing next to them was a black armored knight who looked like a god descending from heaven.

The black knight then showed the magical girl and the audience his almost invincible strength, his invulnerable body, and his fierce attacks like a storm.

Siegfried, the knight who slew the evil dragon, appeared on the stage for less than 5 minutes and the audience deeply felt his overwhelming strength.

"Hey, this is too sudden!"

Looking at the black knight killing everyone on the screen, Shiori Kaede shouted subconsciously.

Faced with such a powerful opponent, Illya and Miyu were completely unable to fight back. Everyone could only watch them being knocked away by the giant sword and the words "To be continued" appeared on the screen.

"How about this? Again!" Shiori Kaede waved her arms vigorously when she found that the plot was stuck at an exciting part. "Does this director have a habit of cutting things out of context?"

The angry Kaede Shiori has landed on 2CH, and as expected, the special edition of "Kara no Kyoukai" here has become very lively.

The reason why the special edition for discussion was "Kara no Kyoukai" was mainly because, apart from children, most of the viewers of "Magical Girl Illya" who use the Internet are fans who, like Shiori Kaede, got into the show through "Kara no Kyoukai".

Originally, there were only a few viewers who had watched "Magic Girl" chatting in the "Kara no Kyoukai" section. Because the number of people was too small and the popularity of "Magic Girl" was not very high, no one asked the administrator to open a separate section.

However, as the plot of "Magical" developed, more and more people began to join the discussion. In addition, people gradually discovered that the world view of "Magical" was extremely similar to that of "Kara no Kyoukai". Under such circumstances, these fans of "Magic Idol" were too lazy to move their positions and directly stationed in the "Kara no Kyoukai" section.

Kaede Shiori is one of the earliest fans to get into "Magic Queen". Even his new ID [Ryougi Ori is mine] on 2CH and [Tono's Bulldozer], who claims to be the number one fan of Nanaya Kiryu, are praised by other people in the forum as the two leaders of the "Kara" 2CH fan club.

(Mysterious Voice: I have never seen such shameless people, both of them.)

[Ryougi Ori is mine]: "I didn't expect Kiryu to be out of context again this time. This out-of-context bastard always does this kind of thing. When can we send him a razor blade to clear his mind?" [○?｀Д?? ○]

Because the plot came to an abrupt end again, Shiori Kaede started complaining as soon as she came online.

[Tono Family Bulldozer]: "This doesn't count as a chapter break, right? After all, the fight between two Heroic Spirits can't be completed in one episode." -_-||

[Ryougi Ori is mine]: "This is not the first time. If this continues, he will definitely become a shameless thief!" (σ｀д′)σ

[Tono Family Bulldozer]: "At least it should be better than Togashi, right?"

[Ryougi Ori is mine]: "Huh? Compared to Togashi, that hardworking little expert? You think too highly of him!" ヽ(ヽ`д′)

[Tono family bulldozer]: "Uh..."

[Ryougi Ori is mine]: "How do you think Director Kiryu will handle the battle with Siegfried? This guy looks very strong."

[Tono's Bulldozer]: "Of course. Didn't you read the Heroic Encyclopedia at the end? Siegfried is the hero who killed the dragon Fafnir in The Nibelungenlied. He gained a nearly immortal body because he was drenched in dragon blood when he slayed the dragon. A character like this is definitely a boss-level character, right?"

[Freezing Dog]: "But Siegfried's weakness is well-known. When he bathed in dragon blood, a lime tree leaf stuck to the back of his heart, and that area became his weak spot. If you know the legend of Siegfried, you should know this weakness, right? It's a legend comparable to Achilles' heel."

Another netizen also joined the conversation, and his analysis was agreed by many people.

[Tono's Bulldozer]: "In that case, I guess in the next episode, the others will hold Siegfried back, and Miyu will win with the spear?"?(^?^*)

[2K I'm the highest]: "It's like this again, I feel like that gun is as useful as Ultraman's Specium Ray." (°ー°〃)

[Tono's Bulldozer]: "It shouldn't be like this, I always feel there are other possibilities. I believe Director Kiryu will not let us down!" (??????)??

[Ryougi Ori is mine]: "Here you go again, why do you always contradict me!"┗|｀O′|┛

[Tono's Bulldozer]: "Because I have a brain."?(? ? ??)

[Ryougi Ori is mine]: "I'll hit you!" (￣ε(＃￣)☆╰╮(￣▽￣///)

[Tono's Bulldozer]: "Ahem. Think about it, the name of this drama is "Magical Girl Illya", but up to now the protagonist Illya has basically been playing a supporting role! Now when encountering a boss, the protagonist will definitely burst out to save the situation! Otherwise, the protagonist will be completely useless." (??????)??

[Ryougi Ori is mine]: "What you said does make sense. The protagonist is indeed a bit useless now. Ah, I really hope next week comes soon! I'm dying without "Magical Girl Illya".jpg" (ˇ?ˇ)

"Huh, we finally diverted these people's attention. It would be troublesome if we really received razor blades sent to us." Nanaya finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one in the forum mentioned the issue of sending razor blades again.

Nanaya was not worried about the razor blades being sent to him. After all, which company in the industry with a little success would not be sent razor blades? However, the registration location of the "Magical" crew was currently in the office building of [Lin Bao]. If Ryutani Nobuyuki knew about the razor blades being sent to him, who knew if that granddaughter-obsessed person would cause trouble for him.

As for the battle between Illya and Siegfried next week, Nanaya believes that everyone will be surprised. After all, this is a light cannon duel that he spent a lot of money to shoot. It can even be said to be the scene he is most satisfied with among the shots he has completed for "Magical".

In fact, from the perspective of plot logic, Nanaya should have filmed the battle process in which Illya used a light cannon to fight Siegfried first, and then Miyu attacked Mr. Sorry's back with a spear. But Nanaya did not choose to do so, and instead used a gorgeous light cannon to let Illya directly kill Siegfried to highlight Illya's strength.

This involves the issue of the priority of "shot logic" and "narrative logic". Illya's laser cannon attack and Miyu's sneak attack are certainly "narrative logic", but this will greatly reduce the shaping of Illya's image.

After all, the main purpose of this battle is to highlight Illya's strength when she is freed from restrictions, so at this time "camera logic" must take precedence over "narrative logic". Ending the battle with a gorgeous light cannon is not only arranged by Nanaya, but also what the audience subconsciously needs.

Why do the protagonists in many Hollywood movies do things that seem unreasonable? It is because the director gives priority to "shot logic" at this time. The purpose may be to highlight some characteristics of the protagonist, or it may be to create a shocking scene for the audience or trigger their emotions.

One of the more obvious examples is the ending of "Avengers 4". If it really wanted to be filmed according to "narrative logic", then after Captain America left, he should appear in the time machine in an old look wearing a quantum combat suit. This way, things could be made clear, and there would be no subsequent debate about whether the person who married Captain America was Carter from a parallel world.

But if it was really filmed like this, then this shot would be far less touching to the audience than the shot of an old man in plain clothes sitting quietly by the lake. Captain America did not appear in the time-travel device, and Bucky's smile after seeing Captain America was all a foreshadowing, so that Captain America's farewell shot would infect the audience's emotions, rather than making the exit of this main character from the first three stages seem a bit hasty.

Nanaya also prioritized the "camera first" approach in the battle between Illya and Siegfried. If I really want to explain it, Illya's projection of the fantasy sword "Dragon's Fall" is stacked against the Dragon Agent OC. After all, he is the director, and he has the final say on such small details.

"Oh, I wonder if that girl will thank me." Nanaya said with a smug smile, "I have put a lot of effort into making a stupid character have such a highlight moment. I hope Illya can give me more dividends when the time comes."

"A-choo!"

Sera asked anxiously, "Miss, do you have a cold? I just said that you have been working too much recently and need to rest."

Illya pouted and said, "That shouldn't be the case. It seems someone is saying bad things about me behind my back. Ah, never mind that. Sera, have you bought the large plasma TV I asked you to buy?"

"It's already been ordered, but why do we need to buy a new TV?" Sera asked in confusion, "Isn't the old one still in good condition?"

Illya waved her arms excitedly and said, "Why? Of course it's so that you can see me in the TV series next week! This is a huge event!"

[Ah, the young lady is so cute. ]

Sera quickly raised her head to prevent the blood from dripping onto her white maid uniform.

"Next week will come soon! I can't wait to see my handsome side." -By a loli who played a useless protagonist.

"Next week please hurry up! I can't wait to see the young lady's expression when she sees my handsome side!" - By a maid who has improper thoughts about her young lady.

"Next week will come soon! I can't wait to see how that out-of-chapter dog tells the story!" - By an excited fan.

"Next week will come soon! The ratings should be able to reach a new high!" - By a person who is looking forward to the ratings.

So under everyone's expectations.

A week later, the seventh episode of "Magical Girl Illya" was finally aired as scheduled.

Then--

"boom----!"

On this day, viewers of TBS TV across Japan finally remembered the fear of being dominated by the explosion.

Looking at the 11.5% viewership rating during its peak period, Nanaya said with a proud look on his face: "So, the bombing is all that matters."
