" Gambling Apocalypse " is the first part of a series of stories created by Nobuyuki Fukumoto with the same protagonist as a clue. The book has 13 volumes. The other two parts are aliased as " Gambling Relapse Record " and "Gambling Falling to Heaven Record". Looking at Mr. Fukumoto’s work from the perspective of the comic itself, you will feel that his style of painting is very weird-each character is drawn flat, like cut out of hard paper, and the protagonist’s chin is as sharp as a kitchen knife, as if he is holding his fingers. One touch will bleed. When viewed from the side, it is even more unsightly...
In short, it is a typical style that cannot win at all. However, it is very strange that when you finish reading his work, you will find that
is not a reason to be concerned at all. The wonderful and indescribable plot conceals all the shortcomings,
even you can span1 I think this kind of poker-like face is very compatible with a cartoon about gambling.
Actor, Ito Kaiji
. In order to repay the arrears, he began accepting instigation to board a ferry called the "Hope Ship", in order to participate in a mysterious gambling game, and once you win, you can write off the arrears. After boarding the thief ship, I discovered that the participants were mostly failed youths just like themselves.Then the organizer issued the rules of the gambling game: the participant must use the poker marked "rock, scissors, cloth" as the props to grab the star sign from the opponent. At the end of the gambling game, the playing cards are not used up or the stars are less than three. Participants will be disqualified, and the huge amount of money they can borrow from the organizer at the beginning of the competition has also become an important factor for them to make a profit or escape...
This is the first chapter of the story, all The excitement of poker revolves around poker, stars and money. I really did not expect that the seemingly simple setting can have so many highlights. The game is in the game, the game is in series, the game is in the game, the game is in the game, and the climax is overwhelming. The possibility of a turnaround lasted until the last second, and I couldn't help but admire Fukumoto, who had such a large and meticulous set of ideas in his mind. He thought of everything the reader could think of, and he thought of everything that the reader could not think of more thoroughly than anyone else. That one layout, one after another reasoning, is actually not easy to understand. If you don't calm down and think together with the author, you will only see people confused, but once you realize it, you will only feel wonderful and amazing. Who can imagine that the "rocks, scissors, and cloth" that even children can play can change so many patterns like a kaleidoscope. Among them, the use of psychological tactics is paramount.
is not without its shortcomings. For example, Ito Kaiji was clearly positioned as a loser. The gambling game was deceived because it was too naive at the beginning, and it was about to fail miserably. However, he actually "awakened" from this mediocrity to a genius, and in the days to come, he will only advance and never retreat, which makes people feel this contradiction. The question is probably "how can such a smart person be mixed up like this". This, precisely reflects the author's brilliance in handling characters, and embodies the Kaisi's dual personality, which mirrors his life motto. Only in this way can people grow.
The key word of "Gambling Apocalypse" is gambling, but the subtext is apocalypse.
Nobuyuki Fukumoto did not put all his energy on how to tell the story more cleverly, twists and more thrilling. He is good at describing mental activities, and this kind of good at not only reflects the relationship between people. The intrigue is more embodied in the tortuous mental journey of the company. The remorse of the opening, the timidity of the opening, the innocence of the opening, the chaos of the opening...all displayed in front of the readers in the form of pictures and words, one after another. The advantage of this is that it is more fascinating, and it is easy to have a sense of substitution under careful reading, and breathe and share fate with the protagonist. The disadvantage is that after repeated use, it makes people feel grotesque, but it's a bit like preaching. Because the whole book has quite a lot of innuendo of society to human nature to life, it is a matter of opinion whether this should be emphasized or redundant.
As said before, "the possibility of a peak and a loop lasts until the last second", the first chapter just ended.
The experience of cashier being betrayed because of his kindness is sigh.
This is not just a good-looking gambling blockbuster, it will always make you think of something, or something that is unpleasant. This point is strongly reflected in Chapter 2 "City of Hope".
is different from the first chapter of playing poker. At the beginning of the second chapter, the reader is pure and intuitive sensory stimulation. It's still a gambling, but the gambling thing is life. Once it fails, the casualties are immediately seen.
main line also began to surface,The black hands behind the scenes slowly walked to the front of the stage. It was a group of frenzied upstarts with inexhaustible money to trample on the lives and dignity of the poor for pleasure. They designed a game similar to stepping on a steel wire to let them walk between tall buildings, and the winner would get a bonus. Seeing the desperate competitors smashed their eyes and framed each other, they laughed happily.
The two times of stepping on the steel wire are different from the wit of the previous chapter. The game is the heartbeat. This can be regarded as a transition, the purpose is to make the cashier a little closer to the black hands behind the scenes, a little closer. The Battle of Emperor Brand brought all emotions back to the ferry period. As readers, we only need to sigh once again Fukumoto's ability to sell prosperously in a simple way.
The proportion of psychological warfare has also become greater than before. The degree of tragic is worse than worse. The actor Ito Kaiji even gave an ear.
So far, the first part has officially ended. The second part keeps up intensively. The revenge and battle of the Cashier continued. The life of gambling to create the future will not change.
Then, go all the way well, Ito Kaisi...
