In fact, we are all transforming people now.

Many science fiction and futurists have predicted a state in which as technology develops at an exponential rate, we will usher in a tipping point, the “singularity.” When it arrives, artificial intelligence will transcend human intelligence and develop at a speed we can’t imagine; and if we haven’t been eliminated, it will be integrated into the machine

This merged state is called “Syborg”, Cyborg, Cybernetic Organism. We can easily find the explanation of this word by looking at the wiki and various dictionaries: meaning electronic people, transformation Humans, mechanized organisms, actually represent any organism that mixes organisms with electronic machines. According to the definition in the online dictionary The Random House Dictionary, Cyborg can be further defined as:

  1. A person whose physiological functioning is aided by or dependent (incorporating an inorganic substance in vivo);
  2. upon a mechanical or electronic device (human using electronic or mechanical equipment).

Yes, if you look at it in a broad sense, you are now using the Anitama APP on your smartphone. The reader of this article is also “Syborg”. In the broadest definition, people who rely on electronic and mechanical equipment are already “cyborg”. And those who wear artificial hearing aids, artificial hearts, artificial limbs, and surgically implanted artificial organs are more “Seberg” – or at this time, we can even switch to the free translation of the word “赛博格” People, call them. From “赛博格” to “reform people”, these two words are Cyborg in English. Compared with the sense of alienation with transliteration, they create a technical atmosphere of “赛博格”, when we switch to the latter word At the time, the atmosphere will inevitably break into the Showa era 50 years ago. The reason for the “Qiqi Zhao” is often the famous narration of Zhongjiang Zhensi. “仮面ライダーは人间である(Kamen Rider is a transformative person) “The ear worm effect repeated thousands of times in the ear, and the “Kamen Rider” created by transforming people and evil The “starting point” of the fantasy world of organizing card repairs – the starting point in the sense of the atmosphere, the story, and the world view – is another representative work of the author Shisen Zhang Taro, “Reform People 009”

Today, July 19, 2019, is the “009 Day” of the 55th anniversary. On the same day in 1964, “Reform People 009” was published in the “Weekly Youth King” for the first time

“reform People 009” tells about the active and daily life of 9 reformers with special abilities. So far, 9 comics (the last issue was not completed because of the death of Shisen), three long animations (1968 (old show version), all 26 words), 1979-1980 (new showa version, all 50 words), 2001-2002 (Ping Cheng version “reform people 009 THE CYBORG SOLDIER”, all 51 words)), the three clearly contain “reform people 009 The title of the title (1966, 1967 “Monsters War” and 1980 “Super Galaxy Legend”) and various activities carried out since 2009 (a special year containing the “009” number) and the years The new work has been active on the edge of the audience’s line of sight. In addition to the unfinished original works, these works are dedicated to re-enacting the three animated versions of the original (although the details will be changed for various reasons); there is the final “God’s War” concept that he left after his death. The notes are based on films and novels that attempt to complete the finale (the final three-time “Conclusion God’s War ~ Prologue ~” and the 2012 novel “2012 009 conclusion GOD’S WAR”), and “009 Re: CYBORG” “CYBORG009 CALL OF JUSTICE” is a full-page 3D movie that tries to “reproduce the original in the new era” and fans such as “Reform People 009VS Devil”. In this 55-year history, the image of Azhang is from cartoon style to realism, clothing and equipment are advancing with the times, and the core of the story has always been centered on “the lonely transformation of warriors against the evil organizations that give power”. In different eras, according to different writers, animation supervisors and screenwriters, different interpretations and different plots of different second-degree creators were derived from this base

These derivative works of “009” belong to the expansion of the ontology, and essentially do not deviate from the original skeleton of the characters. In these repeated re-actions, the essence is still some kind of in the initial setting of the work. Vitality: The theme of the story has a certain timeliness, and the battle between the transformational people whose technical power is difficult to show in the past can now be rendered cool with better animation techniques. The new work of the “009” series in recent years is not a hot work, but every time it appears, it always brings a little of water and attention, and of course the new powder that has entered the pit

It’s a very interesting thing to turn over the original settings of Shisen now and look around again. Especially in the 2019 years when artificial intelligence-related industries and professions have sprung up, in the contemporary era where smartphones and computers have been integrated with our lives, we have to say that the science fiction world built by cartoonists 50 years ago has to say goodbye. Interested. Because the present we have lived on the eve of the fantasy world created by the wave of writers and cartoonists 50 years ago: small robot products began to be used in life; the development of human-computer interaction technology made the “ideal control machine” possible; Now, everyone can’t do without smartphones and computers. We get knowledge through the Internet, communicate through electronic bytes, and even you have to show your photos to others. You have to be beautiful APP P, the beauty in the lens is P There is another face that is artificially created. In a sense, we live in this way. Now we are all “Syborg”, both of which are “reformers.”

And in such a time to review the sci-fi works of 55 years ago, what would it feel like? This is also the motivation for the author to write this article

1. Humanity+(plus) and the birth of the cyborg concept.

In the 1960s, Shisen Zhangtaro, who lived in the poor novice cartoonist in Tokyo, borrowed 2 million yen from the publishing house to travel around the world for a three-month trip in order to ease the pressure on life. He saw an introduction to the emerging concept “赛博格” in a period of the American magazine LIFE

“Life” magazine published on July 11th, 1960, published a special feature about the concept of cyborg

The so-called 赛博格, originally called “Cyborg”, was published in 1960 by two NASA scientists, Manfred Collins and Nathan Crane, in their article “Cyborg and Space” (Cyborg) And Space) is the official use of the concept. These two scientists have provided a bold idea for “how human beings live in space in the future”: “expanding” the human body through mechanical and pharmaceutical means can enhance the astronauts’ physical performance and form a “self-regulating person.” Machine hybrid system” to adapt to the harsh living environment of outer space. Instead, they use the term “cybernetics” and “Organism” to create the word “Cyborg” to describe humans in this state—that is, organic matter and inorganic matter. A combination of objects (electronic instruments)

“Life” magazine’s special edition also published articles and photos of two scientists from Collins and Cran.

In this article, there is no doubt that the cyberspace state is the product of technological advancement and the “evolutionary form” that human beings must achieve in order to further explore space. Trying to solve the propositions discussed by many previous science fiction novels and the theorists at that time in a way: when science and technology progressed beyond our mortal body control, in order to further develop the world, explore space, and get better technology. With the pursuit of a better life, how can human beings cope with such excessively strong technological external forces? The answer put forward by “Syborg and Space” is undoubtedly optimistic, which reflects the affirmation of the application of rationality (science and technology) to enhance human functions, with some “superhumanism” and “posthumanism” colors

Superhumanism writing “Humanity+” means the “Plus Edition” of Humanity, and its Post-Humanity essence is the “human nature” and “human rights” that have been around since the Renaissance. Deconstruction and transcendence of such topics. Superhumanism believes that the application of rationality can be used to improve the limitations of human conditions such as life and death, eliminate these negative factors that are not conducive to human survival and development, and enhance the limits of human intelligence and body, and ultimately bring a beautiful and happy life; Then humanism is the wall of superhumanism. It deconstructs the central position of the human subject in the environment of several industrial technological revolutions. It believes that the evolution of human beings and the progress of social civilization in the present are actually closely related to science and technology. By making good use of the advancement of science and technology, we can finally break and reform the living conditions of human beings. These ideas are generally more optimistic that technology can improve life, and human technological power will eventually change the world, which is in line with the utopia temperament in most early science fiction novels

Overall, the scientists who put forward this concept are optimistic and positive about the status of cyberspace and the advancement of technology, which is not unrelated to the identity of their science and technology workers. Theories such as superhumanism and post-humanism also represent a group of optimistic attitudes toward the development of science and technology in the theoretical circle. However, in popular culture, the cyberpunk image in cyberpunk and literature is undoubtedly more familiar. Of course, there is a problem of setting the degree of forcing, but the contradiction and the self-contained cyber image The challenge of social cognition that we have been building for a long time is a major reason that cannot be ignored

2. Humans or machinery – cyborg in literature.

The cyborg concept was written by two scientists in 1960 as a symbol of future technology and human evolution. In the literary world parallel to the scientific community, cyborg, which has the duality of machine and inorganicity, is a kind of contradiction complex that breaks many binary opposition systems and taboos

The science fiction writers have the distinction between optimistic and pessimistic in the future of technologically advanced, organic and inorganic materials. However, the story of cyborg is undoubtedly with such “taboos”. The grief, sympathy and the pessimistic color of the future of such a shape – over-developed technology eventually leads to the resurgence of human civilization, the loss of human nature after the mixing of inorganic matter, the counterattack of man-made objects against humans, Utopia becomes a hostile state, It has become the representative theme of this kind of pessimistic thought: cyberpunk. And 赛博格, or the use of the meaning of the translation, the transformation of the person, in this series of motifs as the image of the human nature after the mutated representation, reflecting the loss of human or natural human nature without human nature Call of

This motif has been around for a long time in science fiction in the 19th and 20th centuries. In 1818, Mary Shelley’s science fiction novel was opened, and the famous “Frankenstein” protagonist was an artificial creature made up of mad scientists using human body. Although it is not a “combination of organic matter and inorganic matter”, from the nature and birth process of “artificial products”, we can still classify him as a general category of cyborg stories – created by human beings, with human Ingredients of non-human organisms. The birth, adventure, mourning and demise of Frankenstein included the prototype of this long story

“Frankenstein”.

In 1839, the famous novelist Ellen Poe described a great general in the short story “The Man That Was Used Up” in order to be maintained as a “national hero”. In his presence, his whole body was replaced with artifacts to achieve “immortality.” In his house, his maids would help him install these organs every morning, otherwise he would not be in public view. The novel’s title “The Man Who Has Been Exhausted” embodies the author’s irony: the general seems to be famous, and he has lost more than he has gained, and has become a doll of collective will

Time After the First World War, the superhero “Nyctalope” created by the French writer Jean de La Hire was probably the first cyborg in the literary world. In 1911, he created a superhero with an artificial heart and organs in his novel “The Night Blind on Mars” (formerly known as “Le Mystère des XV”), which gave him powerful power and excellent night vision. Night blind (Nyctalope). And for the next 30 years, the story of Nyctalope has been continued. In these stories, the half-body mechanic Nyctalope is like his descendants, for humanism – or translated here as “Humanity” – Fighting evil dictators, mad scientists, and aliens—the emergence of the term humanity begins to herald the connection between this type of theme and the prevailing existentialism of the time. In addition to these stories with dark tones, the transformation of the human setting is naturally seen in many science fiction novels, such as Edmund Hamilton’s The Comet. Doom) and his most famous “Captain Future”, a short story by female writer CL Moore. In the 40s DC comics, Robotman, Metallo and Peace, and the 8 Man, are the few famous people in the comic world before the birth of Transformer 009. Transform the image of a hero

The cover of Nyctalope Steps In in the Nyctalope series, which contains a French-related story about Nyctalope and Nazi occupation written by author Jean de La Hire in 1942, which led to the cover of this collection. The Nazi flag…associated with the Nyctalope setting, is quite subtle

The contradiction between cyberspace and the tragic color embodied in literary literature is the opposite of the same thing. In the cognition that we have been fixed for a long time, there is a natural dichotomy of “natural-artificial”, “self-person-other” or even “soul-no soul”. Donna Haraway, a scholar who proposed “cyber feminism”, has analyzed in detail the role of this dichotomy in building social, cultural, and national centripetal force. According to the author, this is not only the Western world, but also in the oriental mind. There are also (such as the demon), because it is essentially the embodiment of social class differentiation. The concept of 赛博格 challenges this kind of “sorting”—including the hierarchy that arises after classifying, and naturally creates the position of “combining the two = being incompetent by both parties”

In those deeper sci-fi works involving cyborg, no matter whether it is cyborg, it is a way for the protagonist to get superhuman power or superhuman origin, or the future of the world after the development of science and technology. The product, the content of the work is often also deeply or shallowly related to the eternal theme of cyberspace – after the combination with the inorganic body, humanity will be lost? Or complete the coexistence and reconciliation between humans and technology? “Human or mechanical (なのか, machineryなのか)” has become the embodiment The limit of a proposition torture

Of course, Shisen’s generation, when talking about this topic, may faintly answer “It’s machinery (mechanicalだ)”

In addition, there is an interesting phenomenon in these works, that is, many plots will revolve around the “giant of resistance” – this is actually due to the contradiction inherent in the transformation of human beings: The combination of human and inorganic matter or the combination of natural products and artifacts (or, as Frankenstein’s monsters are generally organically combined by artificial unnatural means), brings contradictions and condolences to the creation itself. The first thing is – not to be social common sense, and if they want to survive, they must challenge the “terroir” that has nurtured them, plus the personal control that comes with the machine – this will often be through the “resistance to the mechanical part (or The non-artificial part of the person” is reflected

Created 9 people – or at the time, in the near future, the creation of a series of transformational roles in the transformation of people 009, Shisen Zhang Taro, is undoubtedly also holding this kind of organic and inorganic combination A tragic person – given that the magazine He Life is published in the United States, and the term Cyborg was officially used for the first time in 60 years, it is clearly optimistic with Americans – therefore, through the American magazine Bogger’s contact with this concept of Shisen, the last description of the cyborg is obviously tragic, and inherited the story of the earliest “Frankenstein” and Nyctalope series in this pedigree, describing “ The power of the people who resist the power of the people / the lonely non-human warriors fighting for human nature – and this is a very common motif in Shisen’s works

3. “Stars, my home”.

Speaking of “Innovation of People 009” and even the inspiration for many important settings in the Shissen world, the famous “Space Opera” sci-fi work “The Stars My Destination” is an indispensable existence..

“Stars, My Destination” is the most famous long science fiction novel of the first Hugo Award winner Alfred Best. Also known as Tiger, published in 1956. The prototype of the story is based on “The Count of Monte Cristo”, which tells the adventures and revenge of the craft Gregory Foyle in the interstellar, and the background moves to the future world of technological development – the beauty of the splendid French literature and the novelty of science and technology For the gorgeous feeling, please refer to Maeda Makoto and GONZO’s animation based on similar ideas, “The Cave King.” The “tiger” mentioned in the original title of the work has nothing to do with the famous “tiger, tiger, tiger” cipher, but because of the indigenous “scientific man” text of a certain planet when Gulliver was drifting in the universe. The tattoo of the tiger shape came

Different versions of books and real people show the tiger tattoos on the protagonist’s face

In the development of the story, Foyle, who started the revenge journey, found someone to remove the tiger’s face tattoo on his face, but the scars left will be congested when he was angry, and reappeared again – tiger face tattoo and The appearance of the face that appears in anger is a shock to Shisen, which can be shaped like a tattoo in the 009 of 009, and the most famous derivative of this setting, the Kamen Rider, will emerge in anger. See you in the face

In the novel illustration, the protagonist Foyle will appear in the face of anger when he has been surgically removed.

Contrast inherited the 005 similar to the tattoo style and the Kamen Riders who inherited the style and settings.

For a huge amount of wealth, Foyle turned into a “Mengmao Theater” in the Mai Lei, and transformed himself into a transformant with retina lamps, micro-transistors, transformers and five-fold acceleration. Internal electronic sensing system. This refers to the “acceleration device” – the device is buried in the body of the Foyle, the switch is activated on the teeth, when Foyle presses the switch, it can go to any of the places that he wants to go. local. The performance of the “acceleration device” described in the novel by the text is very similar to the acceleration device of 002 and 009 in “Reform People 009”, even in the case of Hiroyuki and the original “No. 8” A setting with acceleration is available

“Stars, my home”, Foyle was abandoned in space by the “Volga”. After many twists and turns, he finally got a powerful force to complete the revenge of a person who abandoned him at that time, with revenge and loneliness. The story of the battle as the main axis can also see the influence of “009” and many Shisen works

4. The sentient beings in the Cold War – the background setting of the 00 group members.

“Reformer 009” is a work that Shisen attaches very much. He started his career as a cartoonist, and he did not finish painting until his death. In this long journey, if possible, Shisen will personally paint and paint himself. ——Compared with this is the comic version of his special work for Dongying, often in the name of the original, written by others

The works so valued naturally infiltrated more heavy colors. “009” began to serialize the world pattern of the 1960s and added a strong sci-fi element of the chronological style to directly become the stage of the work. Many historical events – the US-Soviet Cold War, the Vietnam War, etc., were interspersed in the story as a background to explore the anti- Serious issues such as war, ethnic issues, clashes in civilization, and problems encountered in the development of civilized society

Among them, Shisen designed the background of the 9-person transformational warrior, including the complete set of “Reformer 009”, the ultimate villain – the black ghost group, which reflects Shisen, or, Changpanzhuang, or even arguably At that time, the animation/manga/special STAFF style of TV and magazines was a reflection, reflection and reflection on the world. With the background of the US-Soviet Cold War at the time, “Reform People 009”, which described serious issues such as clash of civilizations and social problems, naturally set the foundation of the whole story unequivocal, and the main people designed a rather hard and sensitive background.Shi Sen saw the local customs and customs in the three-month world travel, and wrote these feelings into the background of the 00 group members

“009” is based on realistic war scenes and weapons display.

9 The background of the transformation fighters can be divided into three categories according to the world pattern at the time:

1. US related.

The roles in this category are: 002, 005, and 008

002 Jeter Link was originally a member of the street gang in Manhattan’s West End. He was stabbed in the fire of the head gang and was abducted by the Black Ghost. Shi Sen incorporates the elements of the famous West Side Story in the 002 story setting, involving street gangs in New York – street gang members in New York come from home and many immigrants, in this ruin of immigrants There have been many violent groups that have evolved from different races and classes with firearms. They were famous in the 1970s for their team fired each other

Shi Sen clearly refers to the song and dance “West City Story” in the performance of Jeter’s life

005 Jeroimo is an Indian. He also has the ability to resemble a shaman in addition to transforming people, and can communicate with the natural elves. In the original comic version, he was unable to find a job because he was discriminated against as an Indian. He saw his compatriots hoping to abandon their national dignity to sell their arts and lose their hope of life. In desperation, he was “helped by the black ghost group.” You find a job” for abduction and surgery. In writing this story, Shi Sen involved the issue of “indian residence”, the persecution of the Aboriginal Indians in the history of American propaganda, massacres and racial discrimination, which are still sensitive topics in American society

The performance of Jeroimo was discriminated against by white entrepreneurs. The gentleman who talked with Jeroimo thought he could only be a street performer for people to watch.

008 The story of Hume is related to black slave sales. In the initial setting, Kenya’s chieftain’s family was born, and was pursued by the human trafficking group. In the escape, he encountered a black ghost group and was drawn into the organization. In the early days, in order to emphasize the origin of African blacks of 008, and the exaggerated and more “caricature” style of painting at the time, 008 was once painted like a black monkey, and later changed to “more than the current legend” in the “Super Galaxy Legend”. (and the type of the United States)

Attachment: The evolution of Hume’s image.

Shisen’s appearance in the comics for Hugh’s appearance is an exaggerated expression of his African black identity, but he can see the handsomeness of the warrior from the eyebrows; the 66 version of the animation basically retains the design of the stone, but more exaggerated and The younger version of the 79 version of the animation does not bear the high praise of the whole film, this version of Hume’s people is also the most reductive version;

In order to avoid unnecessary concerns in overseas promotion, Hugh’s image changed dramatically in the 1980 theatrical animation “The Legend of the Super Galaxy”, from which it began to become a realistic American style;

01 versions, retaining the American style after the “Super Galaxy Legend”, joined the image of Shisen’s painting style;

In recent years, the image of Hugh Horse in the three 009 animations is gone forever on the handsome road. In the beautiful version of “009”, even the handsomeness directly surpasses the protagonist Azhang

The background of these three backgrounds – the black slaves, the slaughter of the aborigines, the immigrants and the local residents each formed a different circle and discrimination, which is precisely the freedom and cultural tolerance of the United States. The well-known land has been facing social pain points and historical pain points since the founding of the country

2. Soviet related.

The roles in this category are: 001 One, 004 and Dr. Gilmore

001 Ivan Weyski and Dr. Isaac Gilmo, who modified his father, Dr. Gam Weyski of the Black Ghost, and who defected from the Black Ghost after discovering the conscience, now bless all 00 members They are all… Russians. Dr. Gilmo, who has a large square nose, is also an interesting identity for Jews born in Russia

Before Dr. Gilmore became a member of the Black Ghost Regiment, the 66 version of the animation set him from the “Nazi Research Institute”, and the 79th edition was the “Soviet Scientific Research Institute” – the opposite version 79 of the animation Gilmore The nationality of the doctor was changed to the United States. All in all, Dr. Gilmo’s background keyword is “a fierce and even split camp transition” – whether it’s a Jewish Russian-born Jewish research institution or a US passport to work in the Soviet Union, we can’t tell that Shisen is out For what reason has been designed such a background with confusing conflicts, perhaps just a handwritten letter, but this complex camp element must be in the sense that he eventually jumped against the black ghost group, providing a kind of evasion for the group 00 bedding

In the 01-year-old animation, the motivation for Dr. Gilmo to join the Black Ghost Group was written based on these basic settings: Dr. Gilmo, who was young and prosperous, considered the Cold War to carry out long-term espionage activities and proposed a plan to transform people. From the initial stage, he became the person in charge of the whole plan, but as the plan was implemented and grew, he became more and more questioning his original ideas, began planning how to finally escape the organization, and finally in the “manufacturing” of 009 Island Village Finding Opportunities – But to be honest, this story is too “politically correct”. I still prefer Shisen’s few pens but give the original setting of the infinite imagination space, because it combines the settings of Dr. Weischi in the original version. Look, Shi Sen’s attitude toward the bear is not the kind of “red machine to be awakened”, but “(in a sense) destructive Geek”: whether it is a background conversion like a book Dr. Moss, or Dr. Weisky, who is purely fascinated to study his wife’s travels to facilitate his transformation of his newborn son, Ivan. Ewan, who has a transcendental mind under the appearance of a cute baby

Dr. Weissky is a character with both the violent (left) and the ordinary child and his father (right). The black ghost group will also be afraid when it comes to arresting people.

004 The story of Albert Heinrich is related to East Germany and the Berlin Wall. Often in a nihilistic image, the 004 is gentle and versatile. From East Germany’s attempt to cross the Berlin Wall, he lost his lover and lost almost the entire body because of the transformation techniques of the year. The mechanical body holds complex feelings and then speaks coldly. What is interesting is that he hates the Nazis who brought disasters to his motherland, and he is also disgusted with East Germany. He even called the East Germans by the Nazis. The author’s attitude towards the split of East and West Germany and the birth of a country is quite obvious

The Iron Wall’s general Berlin Wall, the “Successful Nuclear Test” newspaper portrays the social background of the time.

3. Related to European/Oriental countries.

007 Gret Britton from the UK and 003 François Ainor from France, even with the aforementioned 004, were infused with art bacteria by Shisen – Britton is excellent The actor, François is good at ballet, and Heinrich has piano skills. It is easy to see that this is related to the relationship between the three developed countries, including English, French and German, which have long been the social and cultural centers of Western Europe. As the heroine of the “009” series, François has been given the elements related to beauty by Shisen – gentle and calm personality, blond beauty, ballet dancer’s graceful posture, and the country of France. The image of the country of art, with her other side: “The one-handed baby (Ivan) a steel female warrior with a gun” formed a very sharp contrast

Great Britain is a drunken original super-premium drama actor, codenamed 007 and has a spy war and a performance of Shakespeare’s talent. I have always felt that this brief introduction can be very refined. Great Britain gentleman and Great Britain behind him. The change of the heart and the comedy effect of “it seems to be serious and serious in the gag,” or the ingenious battlefield of the inspiration, complement each other, so that this character can play a sense of existence almost everywhere, exudes special charm

And 007 are the creators of the team’s atmosphere 006 Zhang, the background story is a heavy one. Zhang Zhanghu was a poor peasant. Because of the drought, the land was ruined, and when he desperately wanted to commit suicide, he was deceived by the black ghost group on the grounds of “can give you a happy life” – please pay attention to the “009” series. Year of serialization (60s of the last century). Zhang Zhanghu, a poor and middle-class farmer from the yellow land on the other side of the Sea of Japan, experienced what he said. In the story, Shisen didn’t have much to say about Zhang Zhanghu’s views on the identity of the reformed people, but from the poor peasants to the omnipotent chefs and the boxers, we seem to be able to see how he sees himself in the past and present default pages. The body – this is a design that fits his personality, background, and experience

Zhang Zhanghu suffered from drought and famine

Finally, 009 Island Village. There is a setting in Zhang’s story that seems to have nothing to do except to raise the face value for the protagonist—he is a “hybrid.” In Japan at the time, because of the existence of the British and American garrisons after the war, a group of mixed-race children called “GI (names of the British and American garrisons)” appeared. They were often the one-night stand of these garrisons and local spring women and prostitutes. Of course, there are also free love combinations, but most of them are because the man is the “occupation army” who wants to vent their desires. The woman is responsible for “comforting” these people’s “selling spring women”, which symbolizes the defeat and war of the whole of Japan. The taboo identity of the humiliation that followed was also unacceptable to all sectors of society, which led to discrimination against the mixed-race children in Japanese society at that time. In such a big environment, the Japanese mother and the unidentified father of the nationality gave birth to a son, and abandoned him in the orphanage. Because of the chestnut hair and the mixed-race appearance, he brought him no discrimination and prejudice, which led him. Impulsive crime was sent to the small management office, trying to escape on the way, and then opened the prelude of the entire “Reform People 009”. The important chapter in the story, “The Underground Empire Huangquan”, also revolves around the friends of the small management office where Zhang once lived – and two of the three friends are also mixed-race

For Zhang Zhanghu and Shimamurazhang, the two characters from the Eastern countries, the background idea that Shisen designed for them actually continues the ideas of 002, 005 and 008, that is, from the ordinary people who describe the middle and lower classes. In it, it reflects the social problems of the country (whether it is the continuation of historical problems or the influence of current policies and social environment), while the 001 family, 003, 004 and 007 are more from the country of origin. The overall impression extends and joins the content related to the world’s pattern at the time, which is often associated with the background of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union

5. Black Ghosts and Shisen Stream BOSS.

The black ghost group known as the “dead merchant” is essentially a military-industry complex jointly established by the weapons manufacturing industry, bankers and other organizations that can generate war money from war. They incited populism and anti-government organizations to do things, secretly controlled the world situation, and were acquiesced by the various countries in the Cold War to provide them with a gateway to open up all over the world. And their ultimate goal is to “avoid” human demise (such as the nuclear war of fear at that time) through the “commodities” they developed – the transformation of people, cyber technology, etc., but enough to make the United States and the Soviet Union The war between the two countries was in great vigour and they came to power, and then they used these technologies to dominate the world

The black ghost group’s design can be regarded as Shisen, or Shisen, Pingshanheng, Yishangsheng, and then the leader in the “Kamen Rider” card: “The darkness of society, the evil of humanity” Realization. But because of the “war and high-tech wealth” element, the prototypes implied by the written settings will be more obvious – we can clearly see the shadow of monopoly oligarchy organizations such as Konzern and Trust that transcend national restrictions

In the prologue, the rich and the oligarchs from all over the world gathered in a place in Switzerland to meet with the Black Ghost.

Shisen’s lines for the black ghost group leader SKULL clearly correspond to the essays he saw in Life magazine and the contents of the two American scientists mentioned in the previous article, telling the cyberspace and Entering the universe, combined with the nuclear “cold war” pattern of the United States and the Soviet Union and the “Star Wars” arms race

Shisen even showed his views on the future world to a certain extent: compared to restrictive thinking (the popular anti-Utopia idea of the time), the more terrible thing may be over-developed material production. Technology and profit-seeking desires will in turn engulf humanity (similar to the future world represented in Beautiful New World). And 55 years later, when we can’t do without smartphones, computers, Wi-Fi, writing with keyboards and Word software, and publishing this article with APP, I recall the original story that seemed to be the original style of painting 55 years ago. I don’t know how the readers who are reading this article feel

“The empire of the underground empire Huangquan”, group 00 finally saw the body of the president of the Black Ghost Group – a huge demon statue controlled by three human brains, they said to the husband:

“我々は人间の象徴とった ったはずだ.”.
“I am waiting for human beings.”
“の心のにある悪 が私たちの正体……”.
“The evil in the human heart is that I wait for the deity…”.
“だからservたちは灭びない……がいる り”.
“Well, I will never die…as long as someone exists.”

Here, Shi Sen directly points out what the black ghost group symbolizes – “the darkness of society, the evil of mankind.” They are the shadows that accompany each other in the development of human society, that is, human beings themselves

6. Where will the transformational fantasies go?

The “Underground Empire Huangquan” article produced the most famous scene of the “009” series
Jett sacrificed himself and hoped to bring him back to Earth. The two men rushed into the atmosphere like a meteor and fell to the ground. They didn’t know if they could survive this trip. In the silent universe, Jeter asked. Azhang:

“ジョー!きみはどこにおちたい?”.
“Zhou! Where are you going?”

Maybe this is a problem with no results. And those who have the answer may not be able to answer exactly what they are going to become

Becoming a transformationist/cyborg is what it is for, and what kind of future will be entered after 赛博格, and there is a voice for these topics, optimistic superhumanists and pessimistic artists. In 1984, when the story of Nineteen Eighty-Four took place, feminist scholar Donna Haraway published a paper in 1984, “The cyborg Declaration: Science, Technology, and Society in the Late 20th Century.” Feminism. In this article, Haraway regards “becoming a cyberspace” as a way to break the traditional social dualism such as “natural-civilization”, “western whites – colored people (the other)” and “male-female”. The social structure is reached to establish a new gender, class, and ethnic balance. In her theory, she mentioned that the male monsters in Frankenstein actually have a strong female color, or a female color compared to the traditional male image – under the powerful appearance of the horror, the monster has Delicate emotions, you will feel loneliness, sorrow, and suffer from the prejudice suffered by your appearance. This is quite similar to the protagonist of the Shisen department such as Azhang. It is said that compared to the traditional “one eye” (typical male protagonist), Shisen’s actor has more “two heads” characteristics, more rational, calm, intelligent, rich emotional experience, and often looks more traditional. The male image is more slender and beautiful. Perhaps in a certain sense, it is necessary to accurately express the gap between this “(forced to be) non-human thing” and ordinary human society, to describe this subtle and layered emotion, with a more introverted protagonist is an Inevitability

Haraway believes that the ideal cyborg will not expect his father, the person who gave him strength and suffering, to rebuild the paradise to create a companion for him, like Frankenstein. So that he is no longer alone – and then redeemed it (in the society at the time, this redemption is basically a marriage of a good husband), but should take the initiative to end women’s fear, anxiety and loneliness. Putting aside these vocabulary about feminism, in fact, this theory can be summarized as follows: to become a person who actively or passively becomes a cyborg, in the journey to become cyborg, will inevitably experience self-growth, will face A variety of problems and eventually become independent individuals to observe and examine the world. Perhaps because of the same analysis of the theme of the transformation of people / cyborg, this sentence can also be used to summarize the road to the protagonists in the Shissen world, such as the transformation of people, man-made people and monsters.

Whether it is Shimamura, or Guangmingji Jiro, or the hometown fierce, one-character monk and Nanguang Taro, once you cross – whether active or passive – you can never reply beyond the boundaries defined by humans in the original society. For the original human beings – and new, as the (general and narrow sense) cyborg, transforming people and non-human products, their journey about the heart and the world begins. They will inevitably suffer from prejudice and discrimination, and will inevitably go back and forth in the identity of human beings and non-humans, and even go crazy about this pain, and their kindness and tolerance, and the power of this transformation, will also be in this pain. It takes root and sprouts, and becomes the foundation for confronting the “darkness of the world, the evil of human nature.”

Just like the meteor that runs through the world

Seeing the beautiful meteor, the girl on the ground made a wish: “Sister, I hope, there is no war in the incident.”

This is also the pledge of “Reform People 009” as a work
