A review of famous scenes in anime: starting with Emiya Giant Warrior Chapter 273

【At this moment, the screen darkened, and when it lit up again, Wangquan Fugui’s monologue was heard: “I was born to a concubine. I heard that my mother had extremely strong spiritual power during her lifetime, but she exhausted all of it and died when she gave birth to me.”】

【As Wangquan Fugui narrated, a tombstone appeared before everyone. Under the pouring rain, little Fugui lowered his head, looking at the words written above the tombstone: Mother… Churi Huaizhu! He seemed lost in thought.】

【Fox Spirit Matchmaker World】

“Sister, look, what a coincidence! Her mother is also called Huaizhu, and thankfully her surname isn’t Dongfang, otherwise I would have almost thought it was you, sister.” Dongfang Qinlan was startled by the name on the tombstone, and only sighed in relief when she saw the full name.

Thank goodness! Qinlan patted her chest, truly scared to death. When she heard “extremely strong spiritual power,” she almost thought it was her sister.

Dongfang Huaizhu helplessly stroked Qinlan’s head, not minding it: “There are many people with the same name in the world, don’t overthink it.”

So, Wangquan Fugui was trained as a Daoist soldier because his mother was a concubine?! So no one cared about his feelings?

【“I was not allowed to leave the house since I was young. Every day, I had to spend eight hours cultivating Daoist magic. When I was twelve, there was no one left in the family who could defeat me, except for the family head! So, besides home, there was another place I stayed… a sedan chair.”】

【“Besides sleeping and cultivating, another thing was added to my life: slaying demons.”】

【Wangquan Fugui watched one demon after another die by his hand. At this moment, he gradually became numb, and his eyes began to grow indifferent!】

“Eight hours… 16 hours! The Wangquan family is simply inhumane. A child has to cultivate 16 hours a day!!”

What in the world was the Wangquan family thinking?! They deserve to be sued for child abuse in a heartbeat… And from the age of 12, he had to start slaying demons; he was still a child! It’s clearly illegal child labor!!

Everyone from other worlds now understood where Wangquan Fugui’s seemingly emotionless demeanor came from!

He had no childhood, no laughter, no paternal love or friends… Every day, besides eating and cultivating, he killed demons, repeating the process numbly like an assembly line.

【Under One Person World】

“This is too much! Cultivating 16 hours a day, they simply don’t treat him as a human.” Wang Ye gasped. No wonder Wangquan Fugui was like an emotionless machine.

Being treated like this since childhood, it would be strange if he had emotions. At an age when others were still playing with mud, he was already forced to kill. No wonder his eyes looked so hollow.

【Fox Spirit Matchmaker World】

“Hiss~” Wangquan Zui took a deep breath. Is this the treatment for children from the Wangquan family’s concubine branch? It’s too tragic. Could it be that their Wangquan family is about to fall?! Otherwise, they wouldn’t train a child like this.

Even Wangquan Baye, who was beside her, thought the same. Could it be that the Wangquan family was going to decline back then…?

【“As expected of the ultimate weapon of the One-Qi Dao Alliance. However, aren’t you afraid of retribution for doing this?!” A deer demon, slain by Wangquan Fugui, spat blood and questioned with its dying breath, but unfortunately, no one answered her.】

【The crowd on the city wall discussed amongst themselves upon seeing this.】

【“As expected of the pillar of the One-Qi Dao Alliance, he defeated an 800-year-old deer demon with just one move!”】

【“It seems the next leader of the One-Qi Dao Alliance will definitely be from the Wangquan family.”】

【Jade-Faced Wind Monarch held a feather fan: “However, among the recent rising stars, Dongfang Yuechu, who suddenly emerged, is no less impressive.”】

【“That’s not true. Dongfang Yuechu is a wild child, raised by foxes and dogs, and has an impure heart. How can he be compared to the ultimate weapon meticulously crafted by our family?!” Wangquan Baye, looking young, emerged from the shadows.】

【“Yes! Yes!” Seeing that the Wangquan family head had spoken, several people quickly began to flatter him.】

【Only Wangquan Fugui, below the city wall, had a different thought: “Heaven-and-Earth One Sword, the strongest since ancient times. Father, no, Family Head, is this all you ever care about?”】

【Fox Spirit Matchmaker World】

“Dongfang Yuechu and Bai Yuechu, who can use Pure Yang Flame in the future…” Dongfang Guyue pondered upon hearing the name, then immediately flipped through the family tree, finding no such person. So, it must be someone from a later generation.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Guyue couldn’t help but burst into laughter: “It seems my Divine Fire Mountain Villa has successors.”

He had initially thought that he had no sons, only two daughters, and wondered if they could support the Divine Fire Mountain Villa. Now it seemed there was no problem… As for the Wangquan family head’s remark that Dongfang Yuechu was a wild person, Dongfang Guyue just considered it empty talk, merely words. Who couldn’t say such things?

On the other side, Wangquan Baye also breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, this Wangquan family head didn’t look like him at all! It seemed he wasn’t from his generation.

…

Hearing the Wangquan family head’s remarks, although Tushan Honghong said nothing, anyone with eyes could see the displeasure on her face.

“Raised by foxes and dogs… In a sense, it’s true, but why does it feel so irritating?” Tushan Yaya, whose head seemed to be on her chest, felt extremely annoyed and wished she could find someone to fight to vent her frustration.

What kind of nonsense was this old bastard spouting?! If it weren’t for us, that stinky Daoist would have died long ago.

“It’s alright, Sister Yaya! If we get the chance, we’ll beat him up. Calm down, calm down!” Dongfang Yuechu, as if the other person wasn’t talking about him, still smiled cheerfully as he advised Tushan Yaya.

【“The place you live is very beautiful. In the future, I want to go to more and more places and weave the outside world for you to see!” The little spider’s gentle voice pulled Wangquan Fugui back from his thoughts. “Let me be your eyes!”】

【This sentence made Wangquan Fugui freeze in place, holding his sword pointed at the little spider, yet unable to strike! Eyes… Shouldn’t a weapon just obey orders?】

【Until he was ordered to kill demons again, Wangquan Fugui looked at the fearful eyes of the demon in front of him and then thought of the little spider’s face: “My… eyes?”】

【This time, Wangquan Fugui did not kill them as he had in the past but let them go. From this moment on, his eyes finally showed emotion and color.】

【Wangquan Fugui knew that from now on, he might not be able to kill indiscriminately, but he did not regret it, because for the first time in his life, there was color.】

【“Although you repelled the demons, why didn’t you kill them?!” This action, however, drew the family head’s displeasure. That day, the Wangquan family head hung Wangquan Fugui on a tree and continuously whipped him, a puddle of blood gathering on the ground.】

【“Let him stay here for three days and three nights. Don’t feed him anything.”】

【Until night fell, Qing Tong quietly climbed up the tree, intending to untie the rope and let him down.】

【Wangquan Fugui, hanging on the tree, already knew what she was trying to do: “Don’t. There’s a restriction on the rope. Not only can you not untie it, but it will also hurt you.”】

【“Then… then what should I do? How can I save you?!”】

【“You, you just need to let me see the scenery you brought this time.”】

【“Mm!” The little spider smiled and nodded, then beautiful tapestries were brought before Wangquan Fugui, and she happily told him various interesting stories from when she found these sights.】

【“I don’t know what I gained from the outside world. I only know that I really love watching!” Wangquan Fugui earnestly looked at the world Qing Tong brought him, while Qing Tong lay on his shoulder, “And, I can no longer harm demons.”】

“‘Let me be your eyes’—this sentence brought color and emotion to Wangquan Fugui. He no longer treats life with indifference as before.”

“This Wangquan family head is truly ruthless! Even though he repelled the demons, he just didn’t kill them! He was still hung up and beaten for three days, without food.”

Everyone gritted their teeth, looking at the so-called Wangquan family head. What a cruel heart! How could he possibly do that?

However, once Wangquan Fugui, known as the Daoist soldier, gained emotions, he would become a human! No longer a weapon. Being unable to harm demons anymore is his biggest change.

【The scene returns to reality. At this moment, in Tushan, Wang Fugui, amidst a group of terrified gazes, was drowsily hugging a bear demon, stroking and rubbing it.】

【“Young Master Wang, you’re so naughty!” The bear demon said coyly as he stroked it.】

【“Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I’m straight!” Wang Fugui quickly reached out to explain to the girls scattering around.】

【“I’m straight too!” The bear demon touched its face shyly.】

【“Straight my foot! Get lost!” Wang Fugui clenched his fist, gritting his teeth, telling the bear demon to scram. Then he felt something sticky on his hand and realized it was spider silk, also with powder.】

【“Mom! I’ve found my youth!” The bear demon ran off shyly, constantly shouting.】

“I was still in the middle of being moved… This sudden scene, give me back my tears.”

“Just when I finally cried, I burst out laughing again! The atmosphere instantly vanished, and the art style became campy.”

Everyone looked at this scene, somewhat amused and exasperated. This change was too fast, pulling people out of the moment instantly. Give me back the cool Wangquan Fugui from before!!

And is the bear demon trying to make me die of laughter?! With that tone and expression, who would believe you’re straight? And before leaving, it didn’t forget to say it found its youth… These terrible lines, my tears were instantly laughed back in.

PS: The Wangquan arc is almost over. After this, I’ll write about Japanese anime, as mentioned in the comment section before: Emiya Shirou, Gintama, or Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas.
