The demon Zordar forces a choice on Kodai in the main story. It develops that he is forced to choose between many lives or only that of his loved one, a staple trial of the hero as depicted in Hollywood movies. It also honors the biblical story of giving up one\u2019s child for God. For those who believe in Christianity, it is the devil\u2019s question to test your faith and soul. In this work, Gatlantis abhors \u201clove\u201d because the evil characters are equal to devils and I definitely wanted to use this drama of a choice to express their beliefs in the main story.<\/p>\n
Zordar is not cruel for directly comparing Yuki with a large number of refugees. Only one of the three ships can be saved. Not a single person objects to the option of being able to save only one ship. When personal feelings are mixed into that choice, the sacrifice of those who aren\u2019t chosen weighs on the shoulders of the chooser. He originally wanted to save them all, but the composition is changed so that two ships are forced to go for the sake of his ego.<\/p>\n
Kodai has no room to choose. Yuki understands that as she hears his pronouncement, and as a result she decides to eliminate herself as one of the choices.<\/p>\n
I won\u2019t let you choose\u2026that is her gesture toward him, which includes the implication that he will not let her choose. \u201cIf you choose a ship for my sake, you will never forgive yourself and you\u2019ll fall into hell.\u201d Then Yuki throws herself off to deny him the choice. If she removes herself as the reason for his choice, Kodai will no longer be tormented by guilt no matter which ship he chooses.<\/p>\n
Due to her throwing herself off, Kodai\u2019s choice becomes the unexpected path of \u201cnot choosing\u201d. This is not logical. As a result of witnessing \u201cthe man would fall into hell to save her,\u201d she responded instantly as \u201cthe woman decided to fall rather than plunging him into hell.\u201d What happens to the one ship that should be helped by it\u2026? At that moment, Kodai doesn\u2019t even think about it. <\/p>\n
That act, which one might criticize as irresponsible, is quite frankly an entirely human response, and it seems to shake Zordar\u2019s heart slightly. So far, they have destroyed many civilizations. When faced with a similar choice, they\u2019ve seen countless people \u201cSwallow their tears and sacrifice those they love\u201d or say \u201cUnless I choose, I resign myself to having my knees broken.\u201d However, this may be the first time \u201cI will not choose\u201d has been asserted and some fool jumped outside the rules.<\/p>\n
Just for the one you love\u2026 those were the ego-driven words that touched us forty years ago, words that have gone cold in the face of today\u2019s literacy. They have the power to move the situation between Yamato<\/em> and Gatlantis. As the workers say in the drama, it\u2019s in this episode that Yamato<\/em> hands over its business card. But as Saito says, it\u2019s the result of a lucky guess. <\/p>\nThe assumption that they\u2019ll be saved by a single ship runs through their love, and it\u2019s with that conviction that Kodai and Yuki do not exchange words. Because of that, even in that rotting cockpit, they still go on toward empty space with dazed faces.<\/p>\n
Kodai holds Yuki and looks out the window in a daze without knowing that Yamato<\/em> brought about a miraculous solution with the Wave-Motion Gun. But despite this, there seems to be an instinctive awareness that something irreparable has been done. After all, there was no way to save Yuki and they were both resigned to falling into an abyss of darkness.<\/p>\nBut he has no regrets \u2013 it can\u2019t be helped. No matter how much he is tortured by a sense of guilt, I believe he would make the same choice again, which is quietly stated by his expression. So he proposes to Yuki so they will not be separated again\u2026and Yuki accepts. <\/p>\n
If you illuminate the world of just the two of them with modern literature, there you see the faces of an unforgivably selfish man and woman. It is the face of people who carry the original sin named \u201clove\u201d \u2013 as long as there is a heart in us that feels foolish and beautiful, humans will pay their dues to the devil again and again. For Yamato<\/em>, and those taking the plate from this chapter on\u2026 The main theme of this 21st century Soldiers of Love<\/em> begins here. <\/p>\nReturn to the index<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24779","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24779"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24779\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24781,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24779\/revisions\/24781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourstarblazers.com\/vault\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
