A huge hit in “Theatrical Version Devil’s Blade Infinite Train Edition”, which has become the impetus to break the record for successive box office earnings in Japan.
“Mako and Yoshiko, who like movies, like watching” Anna and the Snow Queen 2 “together, may also want to see it,” said the imperial journalist.
The film surpassed the box office revenue of 25.9 billion yen in 39 days after its release, and ranked third in successive box office revenue rankings. The original comics, which have already surpassed 100 million copies, are also sold out one after another.
It is exactly the “devil’s sword” that is “making” throughout Japan, but in fact, there is a female royal family that was the first to pay attention to this work.
Queen Ayako of the Mikasamiya family.
Mr. Akiko, who is also a special professor at the Institute of Japanese Culture at Kyoto Sangyo University, wrote in the essay “Modern Words” serialized in the Kyoto newspaper on January 29 this year, because it was just before the break. I read the manga that comes out. “
《In order to protect humans from demons that eat human flesh and blood, the main character boy fights with demons, but always thinks about the circumstances when the demon was a human, so that the demon is a Buddha safe. I hope. Of course we have to stop doing bad things to humans, but he believes that demons have a reason for becoming demons and they still have a human heart somewhere.
In this way, Ayako sympathized with the feelings of the main character, Sumijiro Kamon.
According to one theory, the imperial family and demons have an inseparable relationship. Hideki Sato, director of the “Japanese Demon Exchange Museum”, said:
“It is often said that the demons that appear in legends, such as” Doji drinking sake “in the Heian period, are the ones who turned to the emperor.”
“Sake Drinking Doji” is a story in which General Yorimitsu, who was ordered by Emperor Ichijo, subdues a boy who disobeys the emperor. The Emperor and his wife visited this museum in October 2000 in Fukuchiyama city, Kyoto prefecture. At that moment, His Majesty the Emperor asked:
“Are there demons in foreign countries that do good things like Japan?”
This question is based on the fact that Japan also has a habit of using the power of demons to drive away disasters that fall on humans, such as demon tokens.
After reading the manga, Akiko got the impression that “it is humans who produce demons in this world” and “it is also humans who hide demons”. And, “What kind of circumstances do the demons in the section have? When I think about it, I feel like I feel a little kinder.” The essay ends.
What is at the root of the “diabolical boom” that has swept through the imperial family and never stops is the amazement of the demons that have good and bad sides, who can be said to be a mirror of the humans who have lived in Japan since ancient times. Maybe–.
