Rebirth of the Father of Anime

The audience thought that everything had been settled, and when Xiaoyou and Xinyi were living a happy life without shame, Xiaoyou suddenly said goodbye to Xinyi in Xinyi's dream.

When it was absorbed by Goto, the feeling inside his body had a huge reaction. This was a completely new world that was completely different from the one he felt when he was with Shinichi. Suddenly obtained a large amount of information, he wanted to deal with the internal information, so he decided to temporarily cut off external information, and it would fall into a deep sleep, maybe for a few years, maybe for decades, maybe until it died.

In the end, the perverted murderer took Satomi hostage on the rooftop. Shinichi beat the perverted killer away and tried to catch Satomi who fell. It seemed that he missed it, but in the end he caught Satomi.

Although the hand is still a hand, it has not turned into a tentacle, it has not grown eyes, and it does not show whether Xiaoyou "woke up", it has brought endless reverie to the audience.

"Why did Xiaoyou choose to sleep?"

The scene of Xiaoyou saying goodbye brought Xu Yiru to tears and made her burst into tears. She felt that the story was over. Although Xiaoyou was not dead, but just sleeping, and the last scene also gave people rich associations, why couldn't it end with a happy ending that made everyone happy?

Mo Mo also asked herself this question. If it had a happy ending, she would read it happily, and then she and Ji You would dream about the happy life of Xiaoyou, Shinichi and Satomi.

But when Xiaoyou unexpectedly chose to sleep, she fell into deep contemplation.

Why did Xiaoyou choose to sleep?

Why did Master Porter arrange for Xiao You to sleep?

The first question is from Xiaoyou's perspective. Consider a parasitic beast that has taken on a human nature. Why did you make the choice to fall asleep?

What about the second question. It is from the perspective of the creator to think about why Xiaoyou needs to sleep, and what reasons it has to sleep.

The story said that it wanted to process the large amount of information it had obtained, but what Momo needed to know was the deeper meaning.

First of all, it can be confirmed that Xiaoyou's sleep is not dangerous, nor is it forced, but a voluntary choice. It was an idea of ​​exploration that he had in addition to survival.

As for what Xiaoyou was doing when he was sleeping, it feels very abstract just from the story. In Xiaoyou's words, it "feels very pleasant" and "in a world different from the real world where Shinichi exists."

Xiaoyou is a very strange parasitic beast,

It has a huge curiosity, which drives it to constantly learn knowledge, understand human nature, and explore the world.

If you can understand this, you will face such a "different world". How could Xiaoyou not explore?

Just like Xiaoyou said to Shinichi in his dream, "Ah, so it looks like this in your eyes." In the dream, the image of each person that Shinichi saw for Xiaoyou was different from what Xiaoyou saw.

To use a well-used saying, "There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people." The world in everyone's eyes is different.

"There are only a few points where our understanding can intersect, even if humans have the same structure. If we can exchange souls, we should be able to see and hear a world beyond imagination."

Xinyi has a deep feeling of living together and fighting side by side, living and dying together, and does not want Xiaoyou to leave him.

However, Xiaoyou hopes to see a more colorful world.

This is understanding.

After Xiaoyou parasitized on Shinichi's right hand, they were influencing each other, especially after Xiaoyou helped Shinichi repair his seriously injured heart. More cells in Xiaoyou's body were integrated into Shinichi's body, making this influence even more intense. obvious.

Xiaoyou's influence on Shinichi is reflected in the fact that Shinichi's various physical abilities, such as physical strength, speed, vision, hearing, etc., are greatly enhanced compared to ordinary people. Shinichi's spirit has also changed. No matter how sad he is, he can't shed tears. Occasionally, You will unconsciously show your ruthlessness and become stronger, rational and calm.

Shinichi's influence on Xiaoyou: Because Shinichi is a good boy who respects his father, his mother, and is gentle and kind, Xiaoyou, who originally had no feelings and only cared about his own safety, gradually became able to consider and help others, such as later in the school field. Shima and Mitsuo started fighting and had murderous intentions. Xiaoyou felt the murderous intention. Although it would not threaten the safety of himself and Shinichi, Xiaoyou considered that Shinichi would be sad if he did not notify Shinichi to stop it, so Xiaoyou Or "meditated one more time" and notified Shinichi; and in the final ending, when Xiaoyou woke up to save Satomi, he said in direct communication with Shinichi's brain that he didn't understand Shinichi as a human being at first. Even a puppy will be sad when it dies. Later, I realize that one of the great advantages of human beings is that they can help other people or creatures, and sometimes even give up their own lives.

This mutual influence can actually be regarded as a kind of mutual understanding.

When killing Goto, Shinichi hesitated and couldn't bear to kill him. He believed that both sides were right and wanted him to fend for himself. But then, he got out of his motherly feelings.

Because of understanding.

As a human being, he wants to protect his family, friends, and happiness. Faced with the threat in front of him, he must stand up bravely and destroy it, otherwise he will be destroyed.

Human morality cannot be applied to parasitic beasts, or even to anything other than humans: beasts, nature. When I see big fish eating small fish, I feel cruel. When I see old individuals being driven out of the population and left to fend for themselves, I feel colder. However, these are just their living habits.

From a human point of view, it seems cruel and cold, but from their point of view, it is natural.

Human beings have not even been able to fully understand each other within their own species, let alone belittle themselves to understand other species and nature that do not understand the language at all?

If Xiaoyou had not chosen to sleep and continued to live with Shinichi, then it would have lost its "parasitic beast" characteristics and completely become a "human".

This is neither good nor bad.

But if this is the case, it will dilute the theme of "understanding" between different races in "Parasite".

The reflection it brings to people is far less intense than when Xiaoyou bid farewell to Shinichi and chooses to sleep.

Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of Xiaoyou himself as a parasitic beast, or from the perspective of Master Porter's emphasis on the theme in "Parasite Beast", Xiaoyou's final farewell is a very important one.

In the comment area of ​​dmfun's "Parasite Beast", countless people also joined the discussion on it.

"Nietzsche wrote "Human, All Too Human", which uniquely dissects his views on the concept of 'human nature'. "Parasite" is also a work based on human nature, with a kind of relationship between humans and animals. The existence of similar media explains the work’s thinking about human nature.”

"In "Parasite", many characteristics of the parasitic beast Xiaoyou are clearly different from humans. Xiaoyou is a creature that only fits the Chinese word for 'it'. It has life, the ability to learn, and the ability to evolve, but it cannot Love. All the actions it initiates are for survival: learning is for survival, evolution is for better survival, and in order to prevent the host from dying (the death of the host will kill it with it), it can give up grabbing the head and fill the heart. With their own motivation, they can mercilessly eliminate humans for their own safety, and can confidently feed on humans for their own survival. If you don’t think from their perspective, it will be difficult to understand all of this.”

"Human beings are social animals based on collective units. As one of the parasitic beasts, Tamura, said, the power of human beings is great, but the power of a single organism is so small. Parasitic beasts have always been abandoned without organization or plan. Each of its existences is self-centered, and its whole life is to keep itself alive.”

"Such a life form that doesn't know where it comes from or where it goes is unequal to its single, reckless, and brutal destructive power. This makes me think about how people have occupied the entire earth and developed a Countries have formed a language, built communities everywhere, invented tools... On top of these, there is also the word 'love', whether it is maternal love, family affection, or love, the human heart is called ' Love' stuff fills it up."

"As neither a complete parasitic beast nor a complete human being, Shinichi is also a struggling character. He is a child of humans, but he also deeply understands Xiaoyou's thoughts. In fact, humans themselves are also a kind of living organism, and all living things , all have their own nature as living beings. Freud called it the 'ego', which has only the consciousness of survival and is not subject to similar restraints from morality. His dilemma can be seen as the 'ego' and the 'id' In an endless battle, both sides are hostile to each other, and each side has its own reasons, but both sides have to compromise with each other to maintain the balance of life."

"When we see those cold-blooded parasitic beasts attacking humans, and even developing from individuals into huge 'cannibal groups' with political power, we will not hesitate to use our morals and laws to condemn such behavior .In fact, all this is for survival.”

“In real life, survival itself is a cold thing, and it is an act that puts self-interest first. This kind of self-interest includes naked benefits to oneself, as well as benefits to people related to oneself. Only when these are taken into consideration can there be any Yu Li "loves the world". In this cartoon, this kind of egoism that is not obvious in reality is extremely expanded into a flat "no benefit to others, only for oneself". Perhaps in this comic method, We can see the so-called 'human nature' more clearly." (To be continued...)
