Chapter 14. Human Limits
---
"What do you think about an OP in a manga style?"
"Sounds pretty good!"
"Right! You know, when I was a kid, I loved reading Weekly Shonen JUMP. I believe I wasn't the only oracted to it back then! So, I thought, if we could create a picture with the density simir to a Weekly Shonen JUMP cover..."
"Then every viewer who sees our OP would be reminded of the excitement they felt when they first opened Weekly Shonen JUMP! It not only highlights the hot-blooded theme of our work but also awakens precious childhood memories in the audie's a win-win!"
"As expected of you, Pucci! You instantly uood what I meant!"
"It's all thanks to your inspiration, Mizusaki!"
"Pucci!"
"Mizusaki!"
"Soulmates!!"
"..."
This was the versation Jolyne Cujoh heard when she arrived at the Phantom Blood set after learning that people from Kamikaze Studio had arrived.
No, she hadn't even opehe door yet. Standing by the door, she heard Pucd Junpei Mizusaki chatting so enthusiastically.
Hmm, time to leave. Jolyopped her hand, which was about to open the door, and decided not to go in. She thought to herself that Kamikaze Studio's produ level was something she had personally verified.
As for the Phantom Blood script, it went without saying. If there was no issue with Phantom Blood, how could she have recruited someone like Pucci, who was a genius in his field?
Just think of Pop Team Epic, which seemed like a work needing psychiatric evaluation for its creators, and Phantom Blood, which cked any sense of hot-blooded passion and even broke the ultimate taboo by killing off the main character.
And now they were talking about using a manga style for the OP? Are they the same thing? Or even the same genre?!
bining all these elements, it would be a miracle if Phantom Blood didn't end up a plete failure!
Thinking this, Jolyne, whinally wao see how the produ of Phantom Blood was going, secretly left with a smile.
No, it wasn't because putting Pucd Mizusaki together felt like watg a psychiatric patient's social session, making her feel inexplicably scared.
To avoid being ied by this "madness," she hurriedly left. Yes, definitely not because of that...
...
Thus, in a er unnoticed by Jolyhe produ of Phantom Blood quietly underwent ges.
This was not only due to Kamikaze Studio's teical assistance easing Pucci's team's shortings in fully immersive teology.
More importantly, today, the storyline of Phantom Blood finally ehe sed phase of filming!
"The day has finally e?" Akiyuki Shinbo sighed. "I thought it would take a bit longer."
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to be this soon," Shuhei Morita echoed. "Even though the vampire model tempte, after beied by many popur works, has been proven to be the most suitable non-human model for fully immersive filming."
"Not only do they have almost the same appearance as humans, but their habits, aside from needing to drink blood and fearing sunlight and silver ons, are almost identical to normal humans."
"The best part is that even if actors subsciously feel something is wrong, these minor insistencies add to the bloodthirsty monster vibe of the vampires, rather than derailing the plot!"
That's why, even in most cases where non-human monster roles were unfriendly to non-human characters and trolled by AI or manually operated by off-site staff, vampire-themed produs remained popur.
Of course, this only applied to the modernized, aesthetically pleasing vampire gentlemen, not the early zombie-like vampire monsters.
But in Phantom Blood, the vampires were reverting to a more cssic, slightly retro style. They would load this time-tested vampire model into the Phantom Blood produ set?!
Even modernized vampire gentlemen could impact actors' subsinds. So, what kind of mental resilience would be required for this retro vampire model?
Holy, even in Akiyuki Shinbo's experience, only a handful of people could handle such a role model.
As for Shuhei Morita, who personally modified the vampire model, he thought it might take years of specialized training before anyone could use this vampire model effectively.
Thus, when he created this vampire model, he secretly made several weaker versions, ready to s them in for Pucci if needed.
But...
"Is that guy really human?"
Watg Dio ehe script world, even though the plot was still at the stage where Jonathan found evidence of Di to poison Gee Joestar and was fronting Dio, the vampire storyline hadn't started filmi.
From previous lessons, the fact that Dio could activate the fully immersive devid ehis script world roof that he successfully hahe vampire model during the audition!
So, what kind of monster subscious did Dio have to achieve this?!
Shuhei Morita couldn't even imagine.
"Human?"
"How could Dio be human?" Pucci, keeping a close eye on the filming ges through the equipment, ughed and said, "After all, human abilities are..."
