comic《军鸡》
In 2008, the 44th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards awarded three awards (best action design, photography, and adapted screenplay) to the Hong Kong movie "Army Chicken", and Hong Kong actor Shawn Yue In the film, he played a young offender who killed his parents. After meeting a karate master played by Wu Zhenyu in prison, he began to learn karate. After he was released from prison, karate became his survival skill. In the end, the young offender started a duel with another top karate master and won. .
In 2008, Shawn Yue's film "Army Chicken", which won 3 Golden Horse Awards in 2008, was considered by the film critic Europa to be insufficient.
This film is adapted from Japanese manga artist Tanaka Schiff’s comic of the same name, "Army Chicken", was serialized in the Futaba Youth Manga Magazine "Comic Action" in 1998. After this comic was serialized, it caused a lot of discussion, mainly because the manga’s protagonist, Ryo Narijima, has been deeply involved in crime. Among them, a stubborn criminal who ignores the law.
Then, why did Tanaka Yahif create such a comic? This also starts from the prototype "Shounen A" 东申一郎 of the manga protagonist Ryo Chengjima.
Tanaka Yahif Manga & Hashimoto Ichizo's script "Army Chicken"
酒鬼玫瑰圣斗
occurred in Suma District, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan in 1997 In a very serious serial homicide case, the principal offender was a 14-year-old boy. After killing five elementary school students and causing two deaths, the offender arrogantly issued a letter of challenge to the police:
"Drunkard" The game of Rose Saint Dou is about to begin, dull police lords, try to stop me. I am very happy about killing. I really want to see the death of people. Use death to punish dirty vegetables, use bleeding Come to punish me for years of resentment."
—— SHOOLL KILL school killer drunkard rose holy fight
The media used the title of teenager A extensively in the report, and the suspect was finally arrested. Arrested and identified as a 14-year-old boy named 东申一郎. The Japanese psychiatrist believes that Shinichiro Higashi had a mental problem when he committed the crime. The evidence is in the challenge letter, which he referred to as a vegetable.
The letter
sent by Boy A to the police in 1997 ended in the case of Boy A being sent to Kanto Medical Juvenile Home (a school for juveniles in Japan). However, this juvenile crime was closely watched by the 31-year-old cartoonist Yahif Tanaka.
Tanaka Yaschif believes that no one has noticed the deeper root cause of this case. If ignored, more similar tragedies will follow. Throughout the several parties involved in this case, juvenile A东申一郎, the parents of juvenile A, and the parents of the victim, each believed that the tragedy was caused by juvenile A himself.

Several years later, the party concerned recorded his own experience and true views in the book for publication, and boy A wrote " Song of the Song—Sequential Child Killing Incident in Kobe, Japan. The parents of Teenager A wrote "Giving Birth to Teenager A—Parents' Remorse Letters", written by one of the victims’ father, Toshimori (father of the victim Toshi Jun) After writing "Atsushi: The True Confession of a Victim's Father", one of the victims' mother Kyoko Yamashita (mother of the victim Ayaka Yamashita) wrote the book "The Last Life Force".
4 In the book, Teenager A confessed his crimes. Teenager A’s parents are eager to separate their relationship with the demon son. The parents of the two victims put pressure on them, hoping that Teenager A will be severely punished by the law. To warn the children’s spirit in heaven.
Juvenile A's autobiography after he was released from prison, "The Song of the Sequential Child Killing in Kobe, Japan"
Tanaka Yahif felt that the most fundamental reason for the tragedy wasJapan’s academic wars and parental management. Japanese elementary school students have to take a very demanding entrance exam when they are 6 years old. If they succeed, they will enter a good private school. If they fail, they will enter a despised public school. There is no confidence in the system and system of Juvenile A. Before committing the crime, Juvenile A had already had many signs of mental disorders, but his mother still put a lot of pressure on him in his studies. The school eventually led to its collapse.
The deep connotation of "Army Chicken"
With a strong sense of social responsibility, Tanaka Yahiff created the comic "Army Chicken" in 1998. At the beginning of "Army Chicken", Ryoshi Narushima faced an exam Because he couldn't stand the pressure of his parents, he became mentally disordered, killed his parents unconsciously, and was sent to the juvenile prison, so he began the life of teenager A.
In the juvenile management office, Ryo Narijima wanted to restart his life, but the juvenile delinquent and the warden regarded him as a plaything. In order to survive, he became a master of karate with life imprisonment Kurokawa and embarked on the road of fighting. Kurokawa taught Ryo Narita the survival skills, but did not teach him the meaning of living. After being released from prison, Ryo Narita was influenced by the people around him and embarked on the path of indulgent violence.

Be a good person who can swallow his breath? Or be a bad guy who does his own way and is happy? Every good person actually has an unknown side, and a bad person is not necessarily as bad as you think.
Almost all the characters in "Army Chicken" have both good and evil sides. The protagonist Ryo Narijima advocates violence but respects his teachers and friends. Karate Kurokawa once dedicated himself to the country but used violence to assassinate the prime minister. Team member Teng Ji used to be a betrayer even to his friends, but in order for Ryo Chengshima to step onto the arena to break an arm, Kensuke Mochizuki, the president of the Fanlong Club, seemed to be passionate in order to promote karate, but in fact it was just for fighting. Become his cash cow.
If you want to survive in society, you must establish your own survival law that overrides good and evil. 整者生命 This is the ultimate law of nature.

Tanaka Yahif did not metaphysically praise the main theme of the victory of justice and the kindness of humanity through the comics, but It digs deeper into human nature's profit-seeking and universal laws of survival.
, as a young manga with rich connotation and displayed to readers who have a certain understanding of society, "Army Chicken" was a great success. However, after the popularity of "Army Chicken" soared, Tanaka Yashio sued Hashimoto Izo, the author of the "Army Chicken" comic book.
The battle of the script of the comic "Army Chicken"
In 2008, when the Hong Kong movie "Army Rooster" adapted from Tanaka Yaschiff's comic "Army Rooster" won the Taiwan Golden Horse Award, one of the awards The script adaptation award was awarded to the scriptwriter 橋本以藏, but this year Hashimoto and Yashio Tanaka fought a lawsuit.
At this time, the comic "Military Chicken" has been serialized for 10 years, and the story has also reached the climax of the fourth plateau East Horse chapter near the end-the century battle between Fanlonghui and the fighters on the plateau East .
Tanaka Yashif’s teacher and dramatist Kazuo Koike
At first it was Tanaka Yashif who sent a letter to Hashimoto Izo, requesting that he be canceled on the comics as the original author of the script "The title and the cancellation of his script salary, Tanaka's reason is that since Hashimoto took over the work of "Army Chicken", he has always ignored it. The story, character, and lines are all created by himself. "Army Chicken" is basically himself. Created works.
There are often conflicts between the manga artist, the original author of the manga and the manga editor. This is an indisputable fact in the Japanese comics world. Masami Chicarta’s 《圣斗士》 SHIJI, Yoshihiro Fuken’s " The serialization of Yu Yu Hakusho ended early, and Akira Toriyama’s "Dragon Ball" wanted to end but had to continue the serialization. These are all factors that make it difficult for us as outsiders to understand things.The truth.
However, Yashiv Tanaka definitely has the ability to create, conceive scripts and perform roles by himself. Anyone who knows Yashiv Tanaka knows that Tanaka is "小池一夫剧画村塾" in 1977 The first graduate, he was 21 years old that year. Kazuo Koike was a famous manga script master of period dramas in the 1970s. He has collaborated with many drama and cartoonists, including Ye Jingsuo, Kojima Goyu, and Ikegami Ryoichi.
In 1986, the comic "The Lost King" was the first collaboration between Yahif Tanaka and Marie Kari
In 1977, the 41-year-old Kazuo Koike founded "剧画村塾", the purpose is to pass on the creative methods of Japanese-style period drama comics to the younger generation, so that the drama can be reborn and survive in another way. The core of Kazuo Koike's drama painting village school is to let the comics The character "lives". This "live" includes both the true portrayal of the image in life and the true reflection of the heart.
and Tanaka Yahif also graduated in the same period with screenwriter Marie Kari and manga artist Rumiko Takahashi. The first two comics in Tanaka's career as a manga artist, "The Lost King" (1986), etc., are and Collaboration with Marie Kari, and collaboration with Marie Kari’s script helped Tanaka Yahiff’s subsequent comic creation. The comic "Old Boy" created by Marie Kari in 1996 as a script was later awarded the Oscar of American comics. "埃斯纳" award.
Every character in the "Army Chicken" comics has a strong style of Kazuo Koike, even small characters such as the boss behind the scenes in the juvenile house Kaoru Kanazawa, the boss of the gangster who controls Ryo Narijima and Sato Yamazaki is not only real, but also has his own way of survival. The little character Yamazaki saw the purpose of collecting money from the chairman of the Fanlongkai Mochizuki, and wanted to prevent Ryo Narushima from participating in the competition to avoid him becoming a tool for others to manipulate. Walked to the venue to watch Ryo Narushima's game.

The underworld is to see through life and death, and there is no life without a good end. Yahif Tanaka grasps this very well.
On the other hand, Hashimoto Yizang participated in the script of the Hong Kong movie "Army Chicken". Although it has the form of a comic, it does not have the gods of the original. The famous film critic Europa pointed out this movie in one sentence, "The film" There is more violence but does not have enough connotation ".
Comparing the fleshy Tanaka Yaschiff's comic book "Army Chicken" with the inadequate Hashimoto's Hong Kong movie "Army Chicken" with Tibet's participation, people with a discerning eye can definitely judge the script dispute of the comic "Army Chicken" What is right and wrong?
The spirit of period drama comics advocated by Kazuo Koike was carried forward in Tanaka Yashio's comic "War Chicken".
Another prototype of Ryoshi Chengshima and the Kokushinkaikan in Japan
Tanaka Yahiff’s manga "Army Chicken" was inspired by the Kobe boy A serial killing incident that shocked Japan in 1997. It was made with feeling, but The prototype of the manga’s protagonist, Ryoshi Narijima, besides "Shoun A" Shinichiro Toshiro, there is another person. This person is the Japanese karate master Chengjima Ryu, known as the one-strike dragon. The dragon club in the manga is the prototype in reality. It is the Jizhen Hall to which Cheng Daolong belongs.
Tanaka Yahif used the surname of Ryu Chengjima, but in the process of creating Ryo Narishima, he thought, what would happen if Ryo Narushima went on the right path through karate? So he created another avatar of Ryo Narushima, 菅原直人, the first master of Fanlonghui in the comics. The image of Naoto Sugawara refers to the real karate master Chengjima Ryu of the Kokushinkaikan in reality.
Dashan Beida, the founder of the "Army Chicken" Fanlonghui prototype Jizhen Club
In order to make the comics more realistic, Tanaka Yahio did his homework in karate, comics The construction of the Fanlong Club of the Karate Association refers to the Jizhen Club.
In 1964, the 41-year-old Korean karateist Dashan Beida founded 极真会馆 in Japan, in addition to self-improvement, cultivation and hard trainingIn addition to the concept of "Daishan Beida", Dashan Beida also pioneered the " full contact strike " style of play. Although this style of play is quite ornamental, it also has great harm to the body. On the one hand, Jizhen Club attracts fighting. Fans, on the other hand, rapidly expanded through performances and competitions, and had 10 million members worldwide in its heyday.
The Fanlonghui presented by Yahif Tanaka in the comics "Army Chicken" is a reprint of the Kokushin Kaikan. Ryo Narijima and Naoto Sugawara represent two completely different karate realms for survival. Naoto Sugawara was young He was cultivated by Mochizuki, the chairman of the Fanlong Club. This is taken from the experience of Cheng Daolong. When he was young, he worshipped Dashan Beida as his teacher at the Jizhen Guild Hall and received the education of karate excellence in Dashan Beida philosophy. Finally, he won consecutive national karate championships.
Tanaka Yahif criticized Naoto’s life as Mochizuki's tool for making money through Naoto Sugawara, who was a clone of Naoto Naoto. Although Naoto Sugawara lost to Naoto Sugawara in the game, he survived. In the battle, Naoto Sugawara, who was crippled by Ryo and gradually recovered after more than ten years, was bullied and ridiculed by his brothers as a toy. Tanaka finally expressed sympathy to Naoto through the mouth of the restaurant owner, hitting the nail on the head. Pointed out that the current Naoto "Where is the slightest appearance of a martial artist?"

The battle of the century in the comics , The collision of two kinds of karate, Narishima Ryo's team is like a group of passionate men, Sugawara Naoto's team is more like a pile of shells driven by profit without a soul.
Tanaka Yahif expressed his criticism of society through a different fighting comic "War Chicken" from the perspective of human nature.
Cliff Lema's Transition
Readers who have read the comic "Army Chicken" should all be surprised at a very unexpected turning point in this comic. From the 16th volume, the Chinese chapter with Chinese martial arts elements is added. After Shiao Liang studied Chinese Kungfu under the master of Chinese master Chen, the master’s insurgent "Monkey Sage" came to the door, and finally killed the master and forced the younger sister Yan to death. Finally, the dominant sage himself jumped off. cliff.
The scene of the great sage jumping off the cliff in the Chinese chapter of "Army Chicken" brought the Chinese chapter to an abrupt end.
There is a view that this kind of abrupt story design is different from that of the year. Diplomatic events are related. In fact, in terms of content creation, if the protagonist Naishima Ryo continues to grow stronger through other elements and opportunities, he will lose the soul of the period drama of the youth comics and the drama village school, and become an upgrade of the juvenile blood comics. conventional.
In the later Plateau East Malaysia chapter, the once weakened brightness is more real, and even through the sharp contrast with the Chinese chapter, it has re-attracted many old readers. It is true that the author will undoubtedly gain more fame and fortune if he follows the popular routine of the Chinese chapter.
Like Ryo Naragi in the comics, Yahif Tanaka chose to be loyal to his heart. In the later period of "Army Chicken", Ryo Narita worked hard for the life of his younger sister. It seems that everything is gradually on the right track, but in reality There is only one real home for Ryo Narushima. Tanaka also designed another ending for Ryo Narushima. It is the Muay Thai fighter Ranka. Because of the match, Ranka lost one eye, and then his strength was greatly reduced and destitute. In order to feed the family, I had to fight with the dog.

The pressure of life, the dignity of life, which is important?
After several trade-offs, Yahif Tanaka was selfish and did not arrange for Narijima Ryo with this tragic ending as Ranka. Tanaka arranged for two fools to fight with Narijima Ryo. In the end Ryo did not like the previous one. The fight was like killing all, but instead of letting go of the fool, he was seriously wounded and died. Even Ryo Chengshima, who came to the end of his life, always maintained his "will."
In this "Army Chicken" comic, each character conveys the will of the manga artist Yasif Tanaka "做自己", although asYouth cartoons are inevitably full of violent factors, but after reading them, people can't help but feel the idea of "life is precious and cherish".
