Chapter 249: Animation and Competition
No one expected the next plot of Chainsaw Man to be like this.
The woman who was once believed to be the female protagonist has become the villain.
The fans who believed in Makima's identity now deeply regret it.
In a word, it's... numb.
All the fans are numb.
It's the first time I've seen someone arrange the plot this way. No matter who comes, it's impossible to draw a beautiful female character who has so many important interactions with the male protagonist in the early stage as a villain.
Now everyone looks back and suddenly feels that Ren had everything planned.
"Wow, Makima wanted to use Denji from the beginning, so what she told him at the beginning was true!"
"The same thing happened when she killed Reze later. I wondered how a female protagonist could be so cruel!"
"Wow, my Reze was killed by such a bad woman."
"Not only is she cruel, but she kills without hesitation; she is simply the devil."
"Now it can be confirmed that Makima is the devil, and it's very likely that she is the Dominion Devil among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, as a certain brother said before!"
"Everything makes sense, no wonder both external and internal forces of the Public Safety Bureau, like Kishibe, want to kill Makima... That's why."
"What is the current situation with the Public Safety Bureau? Are they all controlled by Makima?"
"Kishibe shouldn't be controlled yet, and the people at the top level should be, but it seems that the lower level is controlled by Makima."
"So, if the evil woman's control ability is limited, otherwise she could directly control Kishibe."
"But why did she manipulate Aki to kill Denji later? She had the ability to kill Denji at the beginning, why didn't she kill him at the beginning, and now she suddenly appeared and planned to use Aki Hayakawa to kill Denji?"
"I don't understand... I really don't understand. Don't guess what the old rogue Ren is thinking. I've given up trying to understand all this."
"I'm wrong! It would be great if I slowly understood everything!".
"Understand shit! My CPU has burned out, I won't guess again, just wait for the next season to come out."
All the manga fans said they didn't understand, and the guessing game contestants also began to say they would give up.
Faced with Ren, an anti-guessing guessing expert, they said they couldn't guess anything.
During Edgerunners, when everyone thought they were going to stab Kiwi, Kiwi turned against him and directly betrayed Lucy.
When everyone thought Lucy was going to be stabbed, it turned out that the male protagonist, David, was the one who was finally stabbed, and Lucy survived until the end and went to the moon.
When Fire Punch was released, everyone thought Dema would intimidate Agni and give up on revenge, but later it turned out that Dema and his village were directly massacred.
When everyone thought Agni was going to kill Yoda, he was beaten and lost his memory, becoming Agni's sister.
After the end of the Eternity Devil chapter of Chainsaw Man, everyone thought they would bring a peaceful life.
The samurai sword and the snake girl suddenly attacked and killed Himeno, who had agreed with Denji to "face off" recently.
And the "master," who until recently was considered a good woman, turned out to be a real Santa Claus and the mastermind behind the scenes.
It can only be said that they can't even guess what Ren's brain circuit is.
Just stop thinking.
The fans stopped thinking and began to wait for the latest season of Chainsaw Man.
And there was one person who was silently confused at that moment.
In the studio of the Qianli Danmu website, Sakura finished reading the latest season of Chainsaw Man with an incredible expression.
I thought that since I had some free time, I would continue to look for manga and fish.
But when she finished reading the last episode, she was stunned.
Makima... is actually a villain? A bad woman?! Huh? Does that mean I'm also a bad woman to Ren?
It was a little hard for Sakura to accept. At first, she thought that Makima was a CP character based on Ren's prototype and that Denji was based on himself.
Although Ren had denied it before, Pochita was the proof.
Furthermore, Denji's abnormal behavior in the manga perfectly matches Ren's usual behavior.
So Sakura still thinks that Makima's prototype is herself, Denji's prototype is Ren himself, and Koji Higashiyama's prototype is Ayumi.
But this time... my God, Makima has turned against him.
She went directly from being a popular female protagonist to an evil woman who manipulates people's hearts and is hated by everyone.
Sakura couldn't help but think, "Am I also an evil woman who manipulates people's hearts in Ren's eyes?".
But... But she has never done anything to manipulate others like Makima.
Not to mention giving orders to force others to do it, even when she speaks, she asks herself that she is usually very kind.
How can she be an evil woman who manipulates people's hearts...?
Sakura suddenly felt helpless and wronged. Is she such a person in Ren's eyes?
...
"Huh? Makima has become a big villain?".
At that moment, Makima, the popular female protagonist of Chainsaw Man, has turned against the enemy. Naturally, Yusuke Sato, who had been following Chainsaw Man, also knew about it right away.
He couldn't believe it at all.
Although in the recent plot of his The Gods, the popular female character Xia Mi directly turned against the enemy and became a villain, the position and nature of Xia Mi and Makima are completely different.
Xia Mi is a popular supporting actress who only appeared in the second part of The Gods. She is known as the second actress because she is too popular, and Chu Zihan, her main character, is the second male actor.
So, if we switch to The Gods, it should be the female protagonist, Akari, who becomes the villain.
However, how could Yusuke Sato arrange it like this? Besides not having thought about it at all, Akari's prototype is the older sister he once loved...
Although the older sister is married, she is definitely not a bad woman in his heart!
Although the older sister had a boyfriend before and is still in contact with her younger brothers, and she also cares about them inexplicably.
But the older sister is definitely not a bad woman! "It's really hard to imagine what Mr. Ren is thinking."
Assistant Tang Wei, at his side, also sighed and said, "Even if the female protagonist is a dominant devil, she doesn't have to be drawn as a villain. It's not impossible for humans and devils...".
This sentence is true. In the mangaka's pen, what's wrong with humans and devils having relationships?
Humans and monsters are also possible.
As long as they have a human appearance and are attractive, they can be robots!
"But this unexpected plot seems really attractive."
Yusuke Sato sighed, but still shook his head and said, "But we don't need this kind of trick. Awei, let's continue drawing according to the established plot."
"Alright, sensei."
Tang Wei nodded and continued to work.
But at that moment...
"Ding-ling-ling..."
The landline in Yusuke Sato's studio rang, and Yusuke Sato went forward to answer it.
"Hello."
"Hello, Sensei Sato."
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Oh, it's Editor Suzuki, what's up?" asked Yusuke Sato with curiosity.
The voice was that of his chief editor, Kenji Suzuki.
"That's right, sensei, your The Gods, an animation production company, wants to adapt your work."
Kenji Suzuki gave Yusuke Sato a piece of good news that excited him.
"My work... there's an animation production company that wants to adapt it?".
Yusuke Sato was instantly excited, but soon asked, "So I have to go in person?".
"Yes, our Akatsuki Cultural Company will decide whether to sell the adaptation rights, fully respecting the original author's opinion."
Kenji Suzuki said, "Please come to the company before 3 p.m. the day after tomorrow if you're free."
"Alright..." said Yusuke Sato with excitement. "But I want to know which animation production company is going to adapt my The Gods."
"It's Odo Kai."
Kenji Suzuki said, "There have already been several successful and popular works. Although their animation production level is not as good as that of Hegemony, Trigger, Skeleton, and other companies, they are also top-tier animation production companies in Japan."
"Odo Kai..."
Yusuke Sato was still very excited. After all, it was the first time his work had been adapted into an anime!
But just as he was excited, on the other side...
...
in Ren's apartment.
"I hope you'll forgive me for visiting Amamiya-sensei in person this time."
Akio Ming and a group of people from Trigger Studios visited Ren directly on this occasion.
Not only them, but also the legal team from the Akatsuki Cultural Company and Ayumi.
Fortunately, Ren had moved long ago. It was no longer the cramped house from before, but a luxurious duplex apartment.
An apartment like this wouldn't seem crowded even with more than a dozen people.
The key is that Ren decided to negotiate the adaptation rights here, so they had to go to his house to discuss the matter.
Ren's identity is different from before. After all, he is a renowned mangaka with a luxurious track record in the industry.
How could he go to the Akatsuki Cultural Company to discuss the contract with you?
When dealing with great mangakas, everyone would kindly invite them to a meal and then discuss the contract.
But Ren was too lazy to go out. If it were just for a meal, it would be fine, but everyone knew it was a dinner to discuss contracts and work.
Then he had no appetite and was too lazy to go out.
So he said directly, "Why don't we talk at my house?".
Then a scene occurred where the staff of Trigger Studios and the Akatsuki Cultural Company gathered.
"Alright, everyone, sit wherever you like."
Ren greeted Akio Ming and the others, "Treat it as your own home."
"Woof, woof, woof!"
It was the first time Pochita had seen so many strangers enter his home, and he couldn't help but panic and bark in alarm.
