There is no match in the world, why not hang on the teeth – “Lang Kexing”.

“The name of Inoue Takehiko”, whether in Japan or in the domestic animation circle. It is the best portrayal of the word “legend”

A “SD” is enough for all the teenagers to ignite the hottest flames in the heart, Sakuragi Flower, Rukawa Maple… This familiar name, along with the traces of youth, and the basketball court The sweat is always in our hearts. Of course, the most touching thing is the sentence of Mitsui Shou: “Coach, I want to play basketball.” Unwilling, remorse, miss… The prodigal son turned back and regained the dream, deeply imprinted in this sentence

However, after the “SD”, Inoue Takehiko seems to have disappeared into the fascinating field of vision. Is it that God has exhausted all his efforts? Or can you no longer find a better theme? No, for the great god, the success of “SD” is only a node of the district. His real masterpiece is the wine brewed after years of painstaking efforts. After drinking it, he saw a new world

This glass of wine is called “Lang Ke Xing”

“浪客行” is a description of “terrible” enough. In this work, Inoue used brush painting for the first time, abandoning the use of ordinary cartoons in techniques and color lines, but blending the charm of ink painting into his works. The concept entrusted by the method is essentially derived from the understanding of “Tao” in traditional East Asian paintings. The so-called “Epee has no front, no big work”. Throughout the whole book “Rangkexing”, its majestic appearance, Being comfortable and arrogant, it can be said that it has reached a realm of no birth, weak and strong. It is precisely because of this that “Lang Ke Xing” can not even be described as “work”, but rather a piece of art

Of course, the part about skills is the level that can be achieved by the accumulation of many years of experience in the field. What really makes “Lang Ke Xing” a masterpiece is its story

“Rangkexing” was adapted from “Miyamoto Musashi” by Japanese national writer Yoshikawa Eiji. The story is based on the life of the swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, famous in the late Warring States Period, and depicts how he has become a step-by-step process for the unparalleled swordsman. According to the original novel, Inoue Takehiko has made a large-scale adaptation of the plot. This adaptation not only makes the story weak and boring, but also has the tension and visibility of the drama

Musashi, one of the two protagonists, is a genius. His understanding of kendo and martial arts has an instinctive intuition, and he is looking for his own path. From the rush of the Battle of Guanyuan, to the end of the battle with the famous swordsman, a body, one by one, he constantly verified his own way. Inoue did not label such a task and myth, but let him experience the truth of life and swordsmanship in killing and being killed. So we saw, confrontation, failure, growth, victory, confusion…etc. Wait, when Musashi picked up the hoe and began to cultivate the land, he began to understand what he really pursued, and everything in the well was fully expressed

And the other protagonist, Sasaki Kojiro, Inoue is more boldly adapted to make it a deaf and dumb disabled person. He is also a genius, but unlike Musashi’s brutal fight in reality, Kojiro faces a wide ocean, and has already received the true meaning of nature in the quietness of no one. This kind of flowing description is a kind of depiction of a singularity of the creation of heaven and earth, and this is the dream that opposes Musashi. The Musashi in chaos and the Kojiro in the air, the confrontation between the two is essentially a collision of two values. Inoue does not give answers to the pros and cons, and cannot answer them because the reader will understand

However, the explanation given by Inoue is also his own sentiment. What is the win? What is victory? What is success? All of this is in the comics, and the old predecessor Liu Shengzong used a sentence to answer us. When I was bent on standing in the fixed position of Musashi, I heard the shock of this sentence, and let us feel deeply outside the comics. The highest realm is actually “nothing”. When not tired of foreign objects, talents truly become themselves

This sentence is exactly the same: the world is unparalleled, why not hang its teeth
