A middle school cartoonist

The beginning of the fourth episode just depicts the daily life of the bald male protagonist Saitama as he buys groceries, cooks and sleeps...

This kind of plot should be classified as a boring plot that delays time among young hot-blooded comics... According to common sense, Yoshida, who is the editor-in-chief of a certain second-grade cartoonist, should have asked Gao Gao when he saw this kind of plot. Qiao Cheng suggested that this kind of plot should be greatly reduced! However, the monotonous and ordinary daily life in the comics, coupled with Saitama's inner monologue, had an impact on the observers, but it dispelled Yoshida's idea of ​​persuading Takahashi Makoto to revise the manga manuscript!

By the way, Yoshida still has not found the name of a certain bald male protagonist... In a sense, the manga that has been serialized for three chapters and is about to be serialized for the fourth chapter but still does not reveal the protagonist's name, in Yoshida's memory, I'm afraid I only have this comic called "One Punch Man" in my hand, right?

"The evil forces in this world seem to never disappear. Even after I became a hero because of my interest, the world has not changed much. In other words, I have not brought any impact to society. I don't feel sad about this... …”

"But now I have a trouble. My emotions are gradually disappearing day by day! I can no longer feel fear, tension, joy, and even anger... It's because I have gained power and put the most important thing in human beings. Have you exchanged your belongings?”

It can only be regarded as a daily plot, and there is obviously no exaggeration... However, it is such a simple monologue plot that makes Yoshida, who is observing comics, involuntarily immersed in it!

"In the past battles, my chest was always filled with various emotions, fear, anxiety, anger... But now, one punch can solve all battles! I returned home safe and sound and started washing my gloves..."

Facing the vaccine man who turned the city into ruins, the hero knocked him out with one punch...

"When fighting monsters, there is never any collision of souls! I just regard heroes as a hobby..."

Faced with the super monster who destroyed cities and killed humans, the hero still knocked him down with one punch...

"So...as long as I feel satisfied, that's enough!"

Without the foreshadowing of the previous three chapters, Yoshida might feel that Saitama's inner monologue is a bit exaggerated. However, combined with the contents of the three previously published chapters... just as a certain bald male protagonist said at the end of the third chapter of the comic, Having overwhelming power is a boring thing!

"Is this what Cheng said before, the awe and expectation for [the unknown]...?" Looking at the monologue of the male protagonist in the comic, Yoshida couldn't help but think of what Takahashi Makoto said at that time...

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but because of the almost cheating method of [predicting the future], humans only know how to pursue good things that are beneficial to themselves; intentionally and deliberately avoid things that are not good for themselves, or even things that are not good for them. It's a harmful thing... This does sound like a very touching and desirable idea, but is it really the case?

Without experiencing setbacks and hardships, human beings will not have a heart of steel; and after that, their will will become weak and their souls will gradually decay! Although such people seem to have plenty of food and clothing and a happy life on the surface, in fact they are just living like zombies... No, it should be said that when they first chose to go down this wrong path, the existence called [human] had already Dead!

So in a sense, having a person with such a high-sounding special ability as "predicting the future" is not a gift from God because he takes care of the protagonist, but a disaster, a curse that makes mankind despair! If you know everything about the future and what is about to happen, what meaning does a life like this...have?

Although Saitama, the male protagonist of the comic "One Punch Man", does not have the ability to cheat like "predicting the future", his ability to "can solve any problem with one punch" is actually the same as "predicting the future". Not much different... According to Colonel Chu, the former is the embodiment of [wisdom], while the latter is the perfect interpretation of [power], nothing more!

If you really can't be in awe of anything, it means that you no longer have expectations for anything. Is this still alive?

No...this is just the arrogance of human inferiority!

You have to be in awe of the [Unknown] and have expectations for the [Unknown]. Only then can you be... living [alive] in the true sense!

"Speaking of... I am influenced by Cheng, right?" Yoshida put down the comic manuscript, pondered for a moment, and then smiled wryly, "It's just a comic... other readers will never be like me when they read comics. In this way, I started to feel about life inexplicably! Sure enough... I had so many boring thoughts just now because that guy Cheng always said some weird things!"

Although Yoshida laughs at himself very quietly...but don't forget that it is very quiet at Makoto Takahashi's house at the moment because he is worried about disturbing the rest of a certain secondary manga artist! So...Yoshida, have you forgotten about Uncle Tintin who is finishing the manga draft next to you?

"..." Now, Uncle Tintin, is it necessary to cover your mouth to suppress laughter? Don’t just smile at this time, it’s okay to laugh as much as you want!

Because he suddenly recalled what Takahashi Makoto said before, Yoshida's attention became less focused when observing the comics... But this is only a temporary thing. As a qualified editor-in-charge, how could he interfere with his work because of such a small interruption?

So, Yoshida took a deep breath, put aside the many complicated thoughts in his mind, and continued to observe the remaining comics in his hand!

However...

In the comics, the sleeping male protagonist was suddenly awakened by the explosion, and before the male protagonist could react, he was grabbed by a giant hand that broke through the wall and thrown out fiercely...

"Hiss! Underground people!? They actually wiped out nearly 70% of humans? And they also injured this male protagonist who was so powerful that he broke through the sky?" After just observing for a moment, Yoshida was a little uneasy! "Hey, hey, hey, this is a great way to unfold... What are these underground people..."

"Hmm... Have you seen the part about the decisive battle with the underground people?" Listening to Yoshida mumbling about the plot of the comic, Uncle Dingding stopped his brush, looked up at Yoshida with sympathy, and then turned his eyes to the [original version] comic manuscript piled next to him... To be precise, it should be the page of comic manuscript with a special mark! "Then according to what Cheng said... I always feel that it's a bit too much to trick Yoshida like this! Ahahahaha..."

"Hey, Dingding-san, did Cheng say anything to you before?" Yoshida suddenly put down the comic manuscript and asked Uncle Dingding!

"That..." Uncle Dingding was still struggling whether to follow Takahashi Makoto's previous arrangement and trick Yoshida...

"Did Cheng say that the style of this comic needs to change?" Although Yoshida asked Uncle Dingding, his firm tone seemed to have seen through the 'truth'! "The underground people who appeared in the second half of this comic manuscript wiped out nearly 70% of humans... This means that the following plot will become a common routine in many comics, such as the bald male protagonist leading humans to resist the underground people..."

"..."Such a brutal imagination...

Should we say that Yoshida is worthy of being an experienced editor-in-chief?

The content of the fourth episode of the comic "One Punch Man" is actually not very complicated. In simple terms, it is just a dream of the male protagonist Saitama! And under the instruction of Makoto Takahashi, the last page of the comic manuscript hidden by Uncle Tintin is the key page that reveals [All powerful enemies are dreams]...

In this regard, Yoshida did not make the right choice and did not notice Uncle Tintin's small movements, thus triggering the [Key comic manuscript was hidden] event... So Yoshida, a middle school cartoonist and a coerced assistant, have seen the ending of your being pitted!
