Chapter 29. A Bombshell OP
---
"KO↗NO↘DIO↗DA↘!!"
"KO↗NO↘DIO↗DA↘!!"
"KO↗NO↘DIO↗DA↘!!"
...
Hatake Kousaku was dumbfounded. Before he could even process what was happening, he was overwhelmed by Dio's captivating void his exaggerated facial expressions.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
Despite the dubious nature of Kousaku's current job, he was undoubtedly a pure-hearted warrior. And Dio's as... Although they couldn't pare to the extreme antics of yellow-haired characters in a certain Takeda Hiromitsu's book, bined with Dio's performance, ordinary lines became deeply imprinted in the souls of everyone who saw and heard them!
The feeling was akin to just having finished a delicious dish only to be hit with a suddeo use the restroom—bittersweet.
It hurt, it hurt so much!
At that moment, Kousaku fot about the 100,000 yen ission. From the bottom of his heart, he wao criticize Dio and denigrate "Phantom Blood"!
And then...
"-- DIO!!!"
"JOJO, my superman!"
Seeing Dio's face beaten to tears by JoJo, Kousaku had never felt so happy. He sihought, "For Erina, punch Dio with all yht... wait a minute!"
As the "?To Be tinued" letters appeared at the end of the episode, apanied by the ending song pulling him back to reality, Kousaku realized something important.
This show doesn't seem to have any obvious fws!?
It wasn't the melodramatic love story or the typical wealthy family drama he had expected. The performances of the new actors in "Phantom Blood" were so good that even with the most critical eye, he couldn't find anything wrong. Even the minor characters, who had only appeared briefly, delivered lines like "It's truly admirable, truly desirable" that echoed in his mind and stayed with him.
If there was a fw, it robably Dio's early as to break JoJo's spirit using despicable means, which was infuriating to watch. Especially his forced kiss on Erina, whiraged Kousaku, the pure-hearted warrior, to the point where he felt like he was JoJo himself, wanting to punch Dio out of sheer anger!
...So that's actually a strength, right?
Recalling how "Phantom Blood" had maniputed his emotions and how deeply he identified with the characters, Kousaku could only marvel at its brilliance.
The scriptwriters and directors of "Phantom Blood" had a profound uanding of their audience's psychology!
"...It must be a ce!"
sidering the possibility that the 100,000 yen might be slipping further away, Kousaku tried to calm himself, saying, "There's no way the filthy newers of the 'Phantom Blood' produ team could pull this off."
Unsciously using Dio's lines, Kousaku shook his head vehemently in denial.
"Right, there's still the sed episode!"
"Even though the first episode was uedly good and didn't feel like the work of newers or an early release, the newer's prote period is probably just one episode. The sed episode will surely show its true colors!"
Cheering himself up for the 100,000 yen, Kousaku hurriedly started the long-awaited sed episode.
And then...
"DUN↗DUN↘DUN↗DUN↘--"
"DUN↗DUN↘DUN↗DUN↘--"
With this rousing prelude and character images fshing like manga panels, the title "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" and the subtitle "Phantom Blood" were punched out by Jonathan's fist.
Also punched out were familiar ses and a song eg in Kousaku's mind—
"Two stars falling from the sky～～"
...
Stunned.
Both the musid the visuals were shogly high quality, akin to those found only in fully immersive big-budget films. This level of produ deeply impressed Kousaku.
Is this tent I watch for free?
Is this tent from an advance release?
Without further thought, without analyzing the bombshell OP and its intricate details, Kousaku began to breathe heavily. Finally, as if making a determined decision, he reopened his private message aurhe deposit, saying, "Sorry, I 't do this job..."
At the same time, other tent creators who had taken on this job also chose to quit after watg "Phantom Blood".
This was iable. As tent creators, especially those who reviewed ahey could tell the quality of a show.
And without a doubt, based on the quality shown in the first episode of "Phantom Blood", uhe produ team did something drastically wrong, it was destio be a great show.
Especially after seeing the OP of "Phantom Blood", the abundant budget was an unmistakable indicator of the produ team's grand ambitions!
In such a case, no tent creator would risk their career for a mere 100,000 yeing on the unlikely colpse of "Phantom Blood".
Impossible!
Thus, after painfully returning the money and quitting the job, Kousaku started a new folder—
"Analysis of Possible Future Plot Points Hidden in the 'Phantom Blood' OP."
