Well it's too soon to judge how the CGI will really be I suppose. Neat to see them keep the franchise alive every decade or so though.

Clearly should have been Genesis of Next.

Hi, Dumb question but how do I read the Cyborg 009 manga? I downloaded a torrent with 10 volumes but I think there might be more stuff after that?

Did we really need another one?

Do we really need anything?

Every time I wake up another old franchise gets a CGI reboot in 2026, it’s like a nightmare…

Are the Cyborg 009 characters that hard to draw and animate or something?

Modern japanese animator do not know how to draw characters that don't look like glossy anime girls or strong Korean chads...

I'll probably still watch it, but it would be nice to see a new adaptation of a different Ishinomori series rather than going through a fifth iteration of Cyborg 009.

Re:Cyborg and Call of Justice were pretentious trash. Will this be any different?

Probably more since Joe doesn't even have an actual scarf, but super laser piss coming out of a neck collar.

Though due to that, the stories aren't all in order and so Trunkschan's translator friends don't translate in order.
It's been a long time but I remember the tumblr fans were mostly a cesspool, at least she kept things light.

>>23727373
>Though due to that, the stories aren't all in order
Yeah I noticed that. The magma island arc ends with the island blowing up and the underground empire arc just starts with no explanation of how they escaped.

>>23727395
Well that part was more by design in the manga.
>Ishinomori originally wanted Mythos to be the final battle

Should I bother with God's War? Everything I've read online says it really sucks.

>>23728425
Have a drink handy if you want, and if you can withstand bad art.
The manga's basically adapting Onodera's light novels, which were him spitballing from his dad's concept notes (which are sprawling and could likely only be interpreted by the King himself).

>>23728542
I'm reading it right now and I really like the standalone stories focusing on each of the cyborgs individually but now I'm at the chapter with the girl that can make people's heads explode like Michael Ironside in scanners and the art is like something out of a bad creepypasta.

>>23728902
Also I'm not really a fan of how Ishinomori is a character in the manga. Why didn't they just use what he had already written in God's War: Prologue as the start of the story? There was no need to introduce time travel or 4th wall breaks.

>>23728542
Are the original notes online anywhere? The ending and really everything that had to do with the gods made no sense.

>>23728915
Ishinomori included himself as an insert in the original concept notes, but that might've been something a bit too esoteric.

>>23729785
There was a 2ch thread years ago that seems gone now. I know someone who saved it as a html file and passed it around, but would have to see if there's a way to convert and upload it here. It's a huge thread and the chapters and notes are all over the place.

Afterword of the 2ch thread, by the OP. Originally posted in 2008-2009 while fans were waiting for Jo Onodera to write novels 2 and 3, the source was a notebook putting together all of Ishinomori's notes and memos that fans could get by ordering all of the Kadokawa mail-order Complete Collection sets.
>Actually, this thread was created for entirely selfish reasons: to motivate myself and put pressure on myself to read through a thick notebook of handwritten copies that I wouldn't normally have the energy to read or transcribe.
There are some misreadings (even rereading it now, there are quite a few in the beginning) and words I couldn't decipher and skipped, but I intend to have transcribed every page of the bonus book.
>What I'm doing here might be a copyright infringement, but I also wanted to break the sad situation where probably only a very small number of people, about 1000, would be able to know about the author's last work.

◎The encounter takes place in 2010. ● Time: Summer 2011 Conclusion = Events during 2011 Summer 2012
● Location: Enoshima villa (Ishimori's)
* The only job is feeding the continuously sleeping baby 001 (Ivan).
● Living together: ◎ Cooking, laundry, and cleaning done by the two of them.
● Occasionally, "Jo Shimamura," who lives in the Asuka Building, comes to visit.
Approximately 53 years ago (around 1960)
—Shotaro Ishimori suddenly comes up with an idea for the "underlay for the manuscript" of the manga "Cyborg 009." He believes he was inspired by an article in the graphic magazine "LIFE" ("Future Space Exploration") (of course, that was probably a contributing factor), but actually at this time—
—From 2010, Ivan (001) was sending telepathic messages across time and space. Under a certain "plan"—(that is, to have him draw a hit work, provide him with a residence, and have him live together with them as a "recorder" for "the coming day").
Nine "modified humans" each with their own abilities, a giant enemy...
Ishimori receives the messages. He expands on them from faint "inspirations."

>>23730016
• A Russian baby (brain-modified "superpowers")
•A New York delinquent
Jet, flying through the sky (The Jet Gang was the name of a delinquent group in a popular musical at the time)
• A Parisian ballerina (auditory and visual abilities)
• A German man with weapons all over his body •A Chinese flamethrower man
• British transforming middle-aged man (Shakespearean actor)
• African aquatic human
• Japanese (mixed-race) delinquent boy (acceleration device)
• Berlin Wall
• Vietnam, etc. The historical context is strongly reflected.
Enemy Merchant of Death
The settings, naming (characters), and most of the episodes of the manga "Cyborg 009" are therefore Ishimori's creations.
And the "facts" of the "future" are as follows:
*In the part where they discuss telepathy
"No, even so, I didn't think we could freely "transmit" to the past or future."
"It might be a power unique to Ivan."
"What we still don't understand is whether it was intentional or whether we caught it by chance."

>>23730025
21st Century 009
• Joe Shimamura is not Joe Shimamura. Nor is he called 009.
(The following applies to the other characters as well)
• Pyunma (008) is not Pyunma
• Great (007) is not Great
• Zhang Zhanghu (006) is not Zhang Zhanghu
• Geronimo is certainly not (005)
• Heinrich (004) is also not so
• Françoise (003) is the name of the "author's" favorite actress, and not her real name.
•Jet Link (002) is another name borrowed from a movie, a playful nod to *The Godfather*.
And then there's Ivan (001). This name comes from the Russian fairy tale "Ivan the Fool." It was given in homage to a "possessor of superhuman (brain) power." However, this name, surprisingly, turned out to be accurate! (Not Ivan Whiskey, but Ivan XXXXX) Tolsky?
Of course, Dr. Gilmore wasn't actually Gilmore either... but for some reason, even after their "meeting," they continued to call each other by these (pseudonyms). (They had already read "Cyborg 009" (the manga)... Only the author was unaware of that.
"WE ARE NOT ALONE"
The started in 2005. It was a "modified human for space exploration" project that a single manga artist had supposedly inspired about 50 years earlier!
Of course, there were no traces of life on the planets of the solar system, and there was no response from life forms from the void beyond.
Is humanity alone?! No, that can't be. However, perhaps Earth is a miraculous planet created by a one-in-a-million chance.
Anyway, for now, to Mars, the planet with the most "potential"!
...That was the "justification." But in reality—
During the "Mars exploration" boom that resembled a craze from the late 20th to the early 21st century, they had encountered "strange signs" on Mars (of course, NASA made no announcement).
"""Face on Mars,"" ""pyramid clusters,"" ""strange sounds from the depths of the grand canyon,"" etc.

>>23730033
(sage-ing to not bump unnecessarily)

—They planned to use cyborg astronauts, who had been secretly researched for many years, as crew members for the manned exploration spacecraft (the XXth "expedition"). However, this project was also secretly involved with the existence of an "evil" shadow.
A technology that should be called "ancient science" rather than modern science, a technology similar to "secret arts," was secretly being implemented in a very small part of the cyber astronauts. A grand experiment betting on the survival of humanity not only in space but also on a collapsing future Earth...
• Ivan's brain was supposed to be "linked" to a supercomputer... (He became superhuman by a "stroke of luck")
• Jet possessed muscle strength that allowed him to jump five times higher than an average person.
• Françoise could see through walls and hear sounds from 10 km away.
• Heinrich had his entire body—or rather, two-thirds of his body—"mechanized" (close to a robot).
• Geronimo was given the function of a "crane."
• Zhang Zhanghu radiated heat (heat rays, flames).
• Great could transform (changing his cellular structure).
* This is the ability of an octopus, chameleon, or other mimetic animal.
• Pyunma could dive to the deep sea (500m). And
• Joe Shimamura could move at nine times the speed of an average person.
Dr. Gilmore was one of the scientists in the team. However, he sensed the evil intentions of the "shadow" and instigated a rebellion with these nine people.
—Thus, part of the project collapsed, and the nine became fugitives, scattered across the world.
—The story begins here.

>>23730040
—"...Arthur C. Clarke said something like this..."
—"..."
—"Most paranormal phenomena can be explained by the "human brain."
—"Huh?!"
—"In other words, memories of past lives or reincarnation are memories of conversations heard unconsciously somewhere, for example, everyday conversations of adults heard during infancy, which are recalled at some point with a trigger. This leads people around them to misunderstand it as "reincarnation." What do you think, Dr. Gilmore?"
—"Mr. Sho, Clarke should have said something like that too, didn't he?"

Arthur C. Clarke:
* "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

● Ivan Whiskey has been sleeping for years. Gilmore and Mr. Sho (that's what Sakyo Komatsu called me) regularly feed him milk
and change his diapers, taking care of him.
● Jet Link is working as a private detective in New York. He starts searching for a person at the request of a client. A series of
ruthless murders ensues, and eventually the stage shifts to the underworld.
A deadly battle against a black magic group begins in the world of darkness.
● Françoise Arnoul works on the third basement floor of the Louvre Museum. She was working part-time creating documentation for incomplete works of art and
excavated artifacts that had not been exhibited for a long time. She finds a strange collection item. It is said to have been excavated from a geological layer approximately 20,000 years old. It seems to be a "work of art,"but it is an inexplicable "out-of-place artifact." As she pursues the mystery,strange incidents begin to occur.

>>23730082
● Albert Heinrich is driving on the German highway, the Autobahn. He is a long-distance truck driver. At an interchange along the way, he meets a young girl. She says she had a big fight with her boyfriend while driving and was left alone. He lets the girl ride in his passenger seat and sets off... and wanders into a fairy village. The poignant love story between a man with a machine-like body and a free-spirited, beautiful girl resembling a fairy, and the terror of the fairies...
● Geronimo is paddling a canoe upstream on a tributary of the Amazon River flowing through the jungle. His ranger (anti-poaching) partner has been killed by a poaching group, and he is tracking them. He can see the group's tracks because the trees of the dense forest whisper and shout, telling him. Geronimo has the ability to hear the voices of the spirits. The mystery of the forest village where suicides were rampant. Eventually, he arrives at an undiscovered (buried) ancient city. What awaits him there is...
● Zhang Zhanghu is a chef. He is currently riding a black pig, heading towards a hidden region of Tibet. He had heard a rumor: that there was a utopia called Shangri-La, where immortality was possible, and where there were delicious, unknown ingredients. To confirm this "legend from ancient times," Zhang Zhanghu's comical journey continues (while discussing food and philosophy with the black pig), and finally—
● Great Britain is an actor in a small theater in a seedy part of London. He aspires to be a Shakespearean actor, but for now, he is content just to be able to perform. However, ghosts begin to haunt the theater...
● Pyunma is 35 meters underwater in the Bermuda Triangle. Of course, he is free diving. There is a (underwater pyramid) there. He is a diver on the research vessel. The underwater pyramid, which supposedly existed since ancient times, who built it? The "truth" is gradually approaching...

>>23730088
● Joe Shimamura is in the sea near the Tokara Islands. He is there to investigate the megalithic ruins on the seabed. That being said, the underwater ruins themselves are not the purpose of the investigation. It is for the verification of the . This place might have been the starting point of the "Jomon culture" that led to Sannai-Maruyama in Aomori. And that culture might have been a completely different (from modern) culture than expected... (Moai, Shako-ki Dogu).A civilization from before "dimensional shift" is coming into view.

—"What about God, Mr. Sho?"
—"Haha, Dr. Gilmore. That's the most troublesome part."

Each of the nine people encounter their own bizarre incidents and meet Gods. But it isn't just a coincidence that these nine people do. Around the same time, various people in different parts of the world are encountering the "gods" of their respective countries. That's right, suddenly "eight million gods" spring up all over the world. Is this an illusion or reality?! Or is it a sign of something?!
(Gods around the world - in short episodes)
At that time, Ivan awakens. A telepathic summon is issued. The nine people come to Japan. And the development of each person's superhuman abilities by 001 (Ivan) begins.

The appearance of "superpowered cyborgs" fighting against the gods!

>>23730091
—"John Keel proposed the theory that creatures like the Yeti, Nessie, and Mothman might be interdimensional beings."
—"Why?"
—"They suddenly disappear and suddenly reappear. In places where it's impossible for them to live for many years...
—Didn't there also used to be a theory that UFOs brought them?"
—"Yes. The "alien pet" theory..."
—"Hmm. Interdimensional theories are too convenient. Like Doraemon's pocket, you can pull anything out of it. Besides, "interdimensional" itself is a type of supernatural phenomenon, so this is just adding to the problem; it's not an answer."
—"So..."
—"Wait. It's time for Ivan. The rest can wait for later... I'll go and check, so please decide on the next motif."
—"Yes..."

Arthur C. Clarke:
* "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

—"But you don't believe in the occult, do you? These are the words of someone who absolutely believes in the future of science and technology, even with a touch of fantasy."
—"However, Clarke has a science fiction work called "Childhood's End," and that has quite a few occult-like elements."
—"Haha, science fiction writers are, in a sense, liars. Their works are based on that. They have a kind of guilt about it, and they become strangely cautious in their real-life words and actions."
—"Besides, there are surprisingly many examples of people considered "intellectuals" in the past, such as Newton and Conan Doyle, who turned to mysticism in their later years. The world laughs at them for that, saying it's one of the "signs of aging"..."
—"Is that why we're enjoying this kind of conversation?"
—"Not me. I'm speaking from the perspective of a skeptic."
—"Tch, you're trying to make me the only old fool here."
—"..."

(2ch OP Note: I think I've misread some of these names due to my lack of knowledge.)
Around the end of the 20th century, there were men who explained the birth of "secret societies" with such names...
Perhaps these people created the existence of "God" to make it easier for themselves to operate.
Or perhaps the knowledge that these people kept hidden appeared as the work of God to the ignorant masses.
And over time—"God" became a proper noun.

Food of the Heavens, Zhang Zhanghu

Shangri-La - a utopia - an unknown land in the depths of Tibet, where the food of immortality exists. A legend says it has a warm climate and is inhabited by "gods." A journey with a black pig, aiming for Shangri-La.
The "gods" are there (Tibet, China, Nepal, etc.)
Lo and behold The food of immortality is human flesh.
● The black pig is always silent (of course), but
he is tough. He's fine even after walking all day.
Since he's an omnivore, if you leave him alone, he will eat anything.
(He's fine even with Zhang Zhanghu on his back and carrying travel luggage.)

>>23731524
*During this journey, Zhang Zhanghu will monologue about the intricacies and history of "Chinese food culture." Of course, the black pig is silent, only occasionally grunting. However, Zhang Zhanghu is suspicious. He definitely understands what he's saying. He's pretending not to know and is probably laughing inside.Look at those small, cunning red eyes. He's no ordinary animal!

The origin of "Zhang Zhanghu"

Under the rule that no one reveals their real name, this name was given by "Ishimori."

"Shotaro Ishimori Anthology"
(Title) Shotaro Ishinomori

"Food is fire!" Zhang Zhanghu shouted while being jostled on the black pig's back. The black pig was silent.
"Without fire, there is no cooking."
The black pig didn't reply.
"I possess fire within me. Therefore, I should be called the greatest chef in the world!"
"Bu" The black pig finally squealed.
"You bastard! How dare you... mock me with your nose!"
He wasn't mocking him. That's just how he squeals.
"No, you're mocking me! Your face is the best proof!"
This was a real nuisance. The black pig naturally had that kind of face.
"Hmph, remember this. The only reason I'm traveling with you is as emergency rations in case of an emergency! If you defy me, I'll instantly roast you and eat you!"
Suddenly, as if struck by an idea, he added a piece of poetry:
"The fine pork of Huangzhou. Its price is like mud. The noble dare not eat it. The poor do not know how to cook it. With a weak fire,a little water, when the heat is sufficient, it becomes delicious on its own."
(Su Dongpo, "Zhupo Shihua," Zhou Zhizi)
"Buu~"
"Hmph. How about that? Are you impressed? Your meat is cheaper than mud. It's a vulgar food that a noble person like me wouldn't eat. If you keep complaining, I'll roast you with insufficient heat!"
They trudged up a narrow mountain path littered with stones. To the left was a cliff, to the right a valley floor.

A month had passed since leaving Beijing, traveling by plane, train, truck, and bus. And walking, walking...
It was already the eighth day since leaving Lhasa. He was starting to get bored.
In Lhasa, he spun the prayer wheels and even tried prostrating himself. But his protruding belly and round nose got in the way, and he couldn't do it properly.
During his visit to the Potala Palace, he saw the world's largest statue of Buddha and prayed for a safe journey.
At the market stalls, he tried Tibetan dishes like chicken, vegetables, and lamb, the kind that high-ranking lamas eat. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't the kind of food Zhang Zhanghu was looking for this time.
The legendary Shangri-La, the land of eternal youth, the ideal paradise with food that grants immortality.It is said that if you eat it once, you will gain eternal life.
"I don't want to live forever. Life shines precisely because it has a limited lifespan. But..."
Zhang Zhanghu looked up at the sky. The chain of the Tibetan mountains stretched across the sky, shining golden, extending towards China and Nepal. Somewhere in those mountains lay the unknown food. The climate is mild all year round, a stark contrast to the harsh surrounding valleys, like heaven and hell. Butterflies spread their wings, and flower petals flutter in the air.
"Is that really true?"
*Pfft.* Zhang Zhanghu snorted.
"I can't believe it, but it's a legend from ancient times. There are several testimonies.Especially recently, it's been remarkable..."

The black pig continued walking silently. It could walk like this all day without any problem. The black pig was an unusually tough creature.

>>23731535
"So... what do you think?"
The black pig walked along, puffing and snorting.
"Was that question too much for your pea-brained intellect? Anyway, use your nose sensor to find paradise for me."
Zhang Zhanghu's voice was gentle now. He actually liked the black pig. He had been raising him for six years. He had bought him for food, but his smiling face was so endearing that he couldn't bring himself to slaughter him, and he ended up living with the pig for six years.
He wouldn't have been surprised to encounter a shepherd and his flock of sheep, but he didn't meet a single soul. Perhaps the migration season was over.

Zhang Zhanghu was trying to relieve his boredom by talking to the black pig. But sometimes things bothered him. Zhang Zhanghu was suspicious. Suspicious of the black pig's intelligence! That pig definitely understood what he was saying. Sometimes it smirked cleverly, and sometimes it made fun of him with its nose.
And what about those cunning little eyes?
They had a look that said, "I'll steal food whenever I get the chance," a look of complete vigilance. Although, when it came to small eyes, he couldn't really mock the black pig...

The wind howled, and the view opened up.

• Instant ramen
• Fast food – Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC)
• Dried shark fins – he wants to eat them braised whole
• Lamb
• Beggar's Chicken – Chicken wrapped in lotus leaves and covered in mud – Roasted whole
• Steamed lamb – A nomad's hospitality – In return, a fire dance, named Fire Fist
Taking notes on the cooking method
White lamb meat (one-year-old) Cut into thin strips
• Hama Natto – Fermented basedbeans used as a seasoning
• (Granulated) salt • White part of green onions • Ginger • Sichuan pepper
• A spice similar to pepper
Wash the stomach and turn it inside out. Stuff the cut meat and fat
into it (fill it completely) and sew it up.
Dig a hole and light a fire. When the soil turns red, collect the ashes. Place the stomach in the hole, cover it with ashes, and then light another fire on top. It's ready in about the time it takes to cook a measure of rice...

villages... It's summer now. A short summer.
During this time, they must find Shangri-La (paradise)
and return. Their goal is the food of the heavens, the recipe (menu) for immortality.
They arrive at a small basin. A shepherd boy a tent house. Then bandits (guerrillas) appear. Claiming to be part of the Tibetan independence movement, they take several sheep. They find Zhang Zhanghu and attack him. But
they are driven away his a flamethrower. In gratitude, the shepherd boy cooks a one-year-old sheep for them. (A luxurious meal that you rarely get to eat) Overwhelmed with gratitude, he performs "Fire Fist."
But the journey is just beginning. He hasn't seen anyone for two weeks since then.

1. Mud Pig (Pork is as cheap as mud)
Traveling through a deserted plateau towards Shangri-La, while teasing his companion, "Black Pig" (who is enormous). From Beijing to Lhasa City (Tibet Autonomous Region) airport, and then a one-night stay in the city (prayer wheels, prostrations, a high-ranking Lama?). It's already been 8 days since then. Passing through small villages, he hasn't seen anyone for more than three days. He's seen wild yaks, though.
To his left is a cliff, to his right a turbulent river (It's a short summer now. He wants to find it and return before it ends!).
* Roasted whole black pig - Cooking method: Take it apart, then put it back together again.
2. Hu Pao Rou (Steamed and roasted lamb) - Zhang Zhanghu also knows this.
He encounters a nomadic family in a small grassland at the foot of the mountain.
They are raising sheep. He befriends the boy who takes care of them. He asks for a night's lodging and a meal, and is warmly welcomed. Then, four or five mounted bandits attack. "We are members of a guerrilla unit fighting for independence from China. We demand a few sheep as a donation for food." Zhang Zhanghu is discovered. - "You, you're Chinese!"
But of course, Zhang Zhanghu's flamethrower wins.
In return, he is treated to Hu Pao Rou made from a one-year-old sheep.
In further return, Zhang Zhanghu performs the "Fire Fist" martial art.
3. More than two weeks have passed since then. However,
he is trapped in a blizzard, and has been living in a cave
for three days. It's cold. Even though he has a fire starter, there's nothing to burn.
He begins to reminisce.

was wrong—that person himself was strange and he looked exactly the same as when he disappeared 70 years ago.
—While slurping instant ramen, he talks about fast food to a black pig. Deep sleep.
4. Shark Fin (Shark fin isn't called shark fin unless it's served whole)
—He falls asleep while talking about things like that Nightmare—Being chased by a shark in the sea
(Dorsal fin) —Jaws!! He wakes up with a start.
The blizzard still raged. Then, a howling sound. Startled?!
An encounter with a Yeti. A Neanderthal? An interdimensional being?
It suddenly disappears... The blizzard stops. The sun shines.
Before me, a triangular snow-covered mountain towering like a shark fin.
—This is the triangular mountain that was on the map!
And then the setting sun... illuminates the entrance to the valley.
He enters—He walks for a while... It becomes perpetually spring.
A village at the bottom, surrounded by mountains on all sides.
—That was the utopia.

5. A Grand Feast (Offering to the Gods)
An elegant, cultured, young, and beautiful village—
And a village of healthy people with not a single sick person—
Because they are eating the food of immortality and eternal youth.
He subtly asks the chef (a fierce woman) at the "Welcome Food Hall"
(He's an Iron Chef of Chinese cuisine—the topic of dog meat eating) And he learn the truths.
They are eating human flesh! The elder's caretaker
The locked room Of course, he peek insides.
A figure in a chair. Sitting with their back turned.
Slowly turns around. The Elephant Man!
The Tibetan god of destruction (?)
It's Garuda (the elephant god)!—He run aways.
It's chasing him The entrance is close. It breathes fire... causing an avalanche. The god avoids it
and uses supernatural powers. But it's too late.
It only intensifies the avalanche!
—Lost in the snowy mountains during a blizzard... Don't give up,
Black Pig. I'll definitely take you back to Beijing!!... The End of Food of the Heavens

006 wouldn't say it even if his mouth were torn open, but he survived by eating the black pig.

"Cooking is all about fire!"
The black pig didn't answer." - Berkshire breed
"Without fire, there is no cooking."
The black pig continued walking silently.
"The secret to perfect cooking lies in mastering the heat!"
*Snort*. The black pig finally responded.
A short, stout man, sitting on its huge back amidst baskets, jars,bundles, pots, and a rice cooker, glared at the black pig's neck, which from above looked like a series of twisted folds.

>>23731592
"Omiya, are you making a fool of me?"
The black pig continued trudging along. Compared to the pathless road with its scattered large and small rocks
from before, this was a little easier to walk on, but still narrow.
To the left was a cliff, and to the right was a turbulent river. It was the rainy season now, the beginning of a short summer.
"No, there's no mistake. You mocked me. You were wondering why I would embark on such a foolish journey,
weren't you?"
The black pig didn't respond.
"Hmph. Go ahead and play dumb. But let me tell you this. I brought you along
not only as a pack animal and for transportation, but also as emergency food!"
(Bu...)
"Ho, ho. Have you finally decided to listen seriously? Alright, then I'll tell you how to cook a black pig.
Before that, do you know this saying? (Pork is worth the same as mud). Well, your meat is worth the same as mud."
"The same. It means it's cheap."
(Bu.)
"Hahaha, well, that just means it's popular. It's said to have been offered to the gods, and even
respected figures like Confucius ate it. Now, about the cooking method: first, you cut off the head, slit the belly,
and remove the heart, liver, stomach, intestines, spleen, and so on. Wash them, stuff them back in with vegetables and spices like pepper, sew it shut, and put it on the fire. As for the head, you remove the brain and other parts,
cut it into seven pieces along with the bones, stuff it with vegetables and fruits—sometimes apples are added—
and then restore it to its original shape and place it on the table."
The black pig didn't respond. The narrow slope became steeper and steeper, but its legs showed no signs of weakening. It was incredibly tough. This giant black pig was brought here precisely for that purpose, or so it seemed. The slightly overweight man looked up at the sky. He yawned. Suddenly, he almost tumbled over and hastily clung to the rope that was tying the package in front of him.
"Watch out..."

>>23731597
Suddenly, the view opened up. There were piles of stones, prayer flags fluttering in the wind, and beyond them, the Himalayas loomed majestically. On a small grassland at the foot of the mountains, a flock of sheep, like insects, swarmed together, and there was a single tent. Nomads were grazing their sheep. The wind blew with a whoosh, and the man shivered.How many days had it been since he last saw people or livestock?
He arrived in Lhasa from Beijing after two days by plane. There, he spun prayer wheels and performed prostrations (which only resulted in a sore nose and stomach). He worshipped the world's largest statue of Buddha and listened to the teachings of a high Lama. It's been more than two weeks since he left there. For a couple of days along the way, he passed by small villages, but after that, he only encountered a wild yak once. He saw towering, gleaming white mountain ranges. That's where he was going to climb. His journey began now. The short, slightly overweight man dismounted from his black pig and together they descended the hill and approached the tent.

- A combination of black magic and voodoo.
• Devil worship (Similar to Aum Shinrikyo's "Poa," where murder is considered the path to good)
• The good-natured Michael joined the cult at the suggestion of a friend.He becomes a devout follower.
• Worried, his sister gives Michael sleeping pills and locks him in a mountain cabin where they used to go with their parents. In the meantime, Elsie kills a friend who resembled Michael, and makes it look like Michael is the one who died. The body is found, decomposed and injured.
• Michael has already escaped.
• However, the group that discovered the trick comes to kill Elsie. She is driven underground.
(There was a group's hideout/empire underground) Elsie and 002 see something even more terrifying than the group.
• Mutated creatures living in the polluted underground sewers. Centipede crocodiles, mermen, anacondas with gasoline-spewing limbs, and a glowing deep-sea squid monster created by the remnants of the scientists (in a Nazi-like style) who created 002, causing mental breakdown, and a plan to blow up skyscrapers from underground.

>>23731620
002 At the very last moment, The "god" that appears has assimilated its body with a computer (glowing like a giant squid), a "superpowered computer."
—Here's a flashback. The "remnants" of the organization that modified 002 and others continued their research underground and finally created a god of a new era. "Materializing" images is child's play; destroying the opponent's cellular tissue and internal organs is also easy. However, the only drawback is that it is constantly processing questions given to it (by itself).
A surprise question: "Answer! At what age did James Dean die in Giant?"...
Jumping power—a single fatal blow to the head... Sparks and
smoke... Distorted space, shared headache
The "monster god" that preempted the future is dead.

005 Geronimo 1
• Geronimo was steering his boat, guided by the voice of the forest. It was a tributary of the Amazon.
"Many animals have died here. Gunshots," he thought. "Just keep going straight."
The treetops above rustled their leaves. Above them was a blue sky, and something large... an eagle. It was soaring majestically. Geronimo closed his eyes and sent his spirit to the eagle. Searching from the sky wasn't a bad idea. But the eagle's eyes didn't catch anything. It was impossible to find anything other than the river's path. Geronimo returned to the boat and rowed. There was no need to hurry. They couldn't escape anyway.
He was this river, this forest, and the animals that lived there. Their souls were connected. All the spirits were on his side, trying to convey information...
"Hey, you, listen to our voices!" "Hey, where did you come from?" "What did those people do?"
When he opened his heart to listen, the spirits' chatter came flooding in. They were very curious.

>>23731627
Even the spirits who are firmly rooted in the earth, leisurely using their abundant time to wander through dreams and illusions—once they awaken, they can become so noisy that you sometimes want to cover your ears...
"Speaking of which, there's a rumor that the number of suicides has increased recently among the tribes around here. And it's only young girls. Do you know anything about it?"
"Suicide?" "Killing oneself." "Oh, how scary."
"Isn't it poison?" "They go from the forest to the development area and learn about it." "Or maybe it's neurosis. Because the world is being cut up, and it's getting narrower and narrower."
"Even we sometimes feel suffocated... like we're about to wither away." It wasn't just the girls who had gone to the new town who were dying. The elderly, children, and young people were all affected indiscriminately. They were a small tribe living a simple, traditional life, far removed from delinquency. The cause must be something else. I had been wondering about it ever since I witnessed similar small incidents two or three times. In nature, there is energy that the surroundings release and absorb from each other. If you grow up in that environment, you are unlikely to suffer from "mental illness." If they were dying from eating poisonous mushrooms, that would be a concrete illness. It's not something I don't understand (although, it's unthinkable that a tribe like this would accidentally eat poisonous mushrooms), but something is wrong.
—The river narrowed, making it impossible to proceed by boat. A small motorboat (cruiser) was hidden in the shadows of the bushes. Footprints on the shore—they were dry. Two days behind schedule...
His partner (an anti-poaching ranger) was killed. They were supposed to be working together, but he had to leave due to an unavoidable emergency order. That's when it happened. 005 immediately began the pursuit.

>>23731630
Unforgivable. Not only did they hunt the forbidden endangered animals, but they also killed their protector.
—Into the depths of the jungle. This isn't a human life. There's no pride or dignity.
A man who went astray in an Indian reservation. Gambling boxing—attacked by gangsters with iron pipes.
Kidnapped while lying unconscious. Turned into a cyborg—an iron man.
Even he doesn't know how much of him has been transformed into an "artificial being."

003 Françoise Arnoul
OOPArts Art - Louvre Basement 3rd Floor

The third basement of the Louvre is a forgotten storage area for unwanted items. It's a junk room where items that are impossible to display are kept. However, sometimes part-time workers are hired to organize it. This year, it was 003 and a young man named Alain. And, on the third day of making the inventory list, 003 discovered something incredible. It was packed in a box, probably collected and sent as an "artwork," but its purpose and other details (including the motif) were inexplicable. It must have ended up in the third basement. It was a rectangular crystal (?) half-buried in coal. The central part was gently bulging like a convex lens, and inside... there was a demon!
It looked like it was about to move, its clawed tail swaying. Red eyes, a pointed nose...It looked more like a hologram (3D movie) than a painting. Yes, it was so realistic that it looked like it was about to move...

Alain: "Ugh! There are some really strange and idle people in this world. What's so funny about playing pranks like that?!"
Françoise: "But... it's perfectly embedded in the coal. The broken piece of coal also has the exact same mark."
"That's the point, that's where the prankster gets their thrill. Making people wonder 'How did they do that?' is a huge success. Look at the Loch Ness Monster. How about fairy photographs? A better example is the Piltdown Man. In all those cases, the prank wasn't discovered for a very long time, right?"
"But..."
"Come on, Fran, let's forget about that and move on. I'm getting hungry..."

Françoise reluctantly stood up. But something was bothering her... It was nagging at her. What could it be?

>>23731645
Later, Françoise secretly went down to the basement alone and tried to pry the crystal from the coal. After a struggle, it came loose. But it looked exactly as if the crystal had been there first, and then the coal layer had formed around it. If that were the case, then this would be something from tens of thousands of years ago.
Impossible! It's unthinkable. She suddenly noticed a V-shaped notch on one corner of the crystal. She casually touched it with her finger. That part emitted a faint bluish light... and a demon began to writhe! It looked at her. It grinned.
"Kyaa!" Françoise instinctively threw the crystal away. It bounced off the concrete floor with a clang. It was faintly glowing. In that light, the demon was writhing like a black lizard.

• Alain arrives Strange smell, Mothman flying around
Alain's death, he disappears
• Françoise defeats him with "Taekwondo"
• Takes the crystal outside - the streets of Paris
• Two men in black (dimensional observers) She fights with Taekwondo, but...

Shambhala = Shangri-La
—The Ideal Land—

The flight from Shanghai to Lhasa was a direct one. This is where the airport of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China is located.At the Potala Palace, he spun the prayer wheels and made a wish,
and performed prostrations. But he scraped his nose and stomach, and stopped immediately. I came face to face with the world's largest Nirvana statue, and talked with a Lama master about the afterlife, and then... departed. Two weeks had passed since then. He passed one or two villages, and encountered a single wild yak wandering alone, and since then, except for the occasional shadow of what looked like an eagle crossing the sky, he hadn't
seen any living creatures. And now, three weeks had passed. The man was bored, and also angry with himself.
If he were in a hotel in Shanghai, he wouldn't be this bored. And it would be better if he had at least more certainty about his purpose, but sometimes he felt like it was a tremendous misunderstanding, and that's why he was angry.

Gaia's City Overview
Geronimo—Poacher Hunter
1. Conversations in the Amazon Jungle
Engine-powered boat, a village deep in the Amazon tributary
Birds and animals
1. The long conversations of the trees, plants, and animals of the Amazon jungle... Geronimo—enraged after his partner (a poaching enforcement officer) is killed, he's on a vengeful pursuit.
Heading upstream in an engine-powered canoe.
2. Geronimo's past (Native American resistance in the reservation, even within the tribe... hitchhiking and traveling, then getting caught), the history of his tribe.
3. A large poaching gang (a long-standing conflict with over 20 members) their history—species extinction,
environmental destruction, etc.—Geronimo, who alone fears the wrath of Gaia (the Earth as a living organism). A sigh of resignation.
4. The jungle village the outside
world was very close. Sickness!

>>23731673
5. The mystery of the young girl who commits suicide depriving the virus of its habitat.
6. The discovery of an ancient city—and the poaching gang's hideout beneath that city
And the appearance of Quetzalcoatl (the bird god)
7. A Rambo-like solitary battle against over 20 gang members. But even they are no match for the strongest man. (A silent battle without guns)
8. The realization of the legend of gold—however, entrusting it to the lost
tribe (who are protecting it)
Inca ancestral god Viracocha

Giving is not allowed. It must be written as "inheriting"—a will.

The trees and plants were talkative. Yes, the jungle is noisy all day long. However, Geronimo's biggest weakness was this chatter. When entering, you have to be prepared for this noise. But in return, you get plenty of secret information. Sometimes it came from gossip, sometimes people would deliberately call out to him and give him information. He didn't resent not being able to share the information with others. He was a legendary man who would remain silent forever if told not to speak.
Today,
"Over there," "I passed by yesterday," "Many people were shooting guns."
Geronimo raised one hand and
thanked them.
"Oh, that person greeted us!?" "Why does he understand our language?" "He's an unfamiliar
Indian."
"No, not that way. This is the way."
Geronimo was traveling deep into the jungle,
up the XX River, a tributary of the Amazon,
in a motorboat. In a small kayak (a small boat made of a log), Geronimo was a giant who seemed to be spilling out of the small kayak. Geronimo's ancestors believed in the existence of spirits. Not all living things have a heart. It's not surprising that they could communicate directly with birds and beasts, and that they considered them spirits. Since plants were so talkative, chatter was a characteristic of living things...

>>23731676
Some elders and shamans were said to be able to talk to rocks and water. Geronimo hadn't had such an experience yet, but he could communicate with the chatter of plants and the calls of birds and insects.

• Now everyone is learning from experience,

• In this world, no one lives in reality.They merely exist.
• Nowadays, everyone seeks knowledge, not wisdom. Knowledge is something that changes.
It belongs to the past, but wisdom conveys the truth;
it is eternal.
• Indians have no secrets or mysteries.
There is only common sense.
• They say that human life is the most precious thing of all—that's arrogance.
Humans are only a part of the whole.
To develop and utilize, one must serve well—it's not about power, but responsibility.
• People realize that wisdom is not something to be sought and obtained,
but rather something bestowed upon those who cherish the life given to them by the Creator.
• This Earth is like an animal.
When an animal gets sick, it shakes its body
and rubs against things. Just before death, it thrashes violently.

The Bottom of the Skyscraper

Power, when it grows too large, becomes corrupt.
The same is true of cities. New York is the world's largest city, but it's also the world's most
crime-ridden city. Murder, bank robbery, rape, kidnapping... It's harder to find a crime that doesn't exist here.

>>23731716

With so much crime, the professions related to it increase accordingly. Judges, prosecutors, police—people who enforce the law and are involved in the legal system. And these organizations, as they grow larger,
become corrupt in their own way. A car had a minor fender bender. Before the parties could even get out of their cars and face each other, an astonishing number of lawyers quickly gathered. The fact that this isn't a joke is what New York is all about. Detectives are one of those professions. And I'm one of those detectives, called "Ant." One of the "strolling detectives" wandering around looking for food (prey)... Just like lawyers, it's a world where the early bird catches the worm. In the literal sense, being able to walk fast and run fast is a requirement for us.
Just as a person begins running towards death the moment they are born, power begins to emit a foul odor the moment it is acquired. No matter what idealistic principles an organization upholds, if it becomes too large, it cannot escape corruption. The city is the same. New York is the greatest city in the world. Therefore, it is the most corrupt city in the world, the most criminal city in the world. One person is stabbed every second, one person is raped every two seconds, and one person is murdered every three seconds.

Volume 1: Children of Darkness Volume 2: Children of Light

The Goddess's Conspiracy - A Political Romance
Characters

• Professor Darui (Genki) (55) - Rajomon University
An archaeologist. His name's impression is completely misleading. He's a large, energetic man.
He's obsessed with proving the existence of a pre-Jomon ancient civilization. He reigns like Zeus.
• Assistant (Daughter) Igusa (24) - Graduate Student/Psychic Himiko
She is actually one of the "gods." Using her supernatural abilities, she infiltrates the political, bureaucratic,
and financial worlds (as a favored miko her fortune-telling is very accurate).
She also uses dowsing and other abilities as an assistant.
She begins a social reform movement with a shadowy figure acting as her sponsor. She is met with
applause, but... the same phenomenon as the appearance of a false Christ occurs (several examples
have already occurred in other countries).
• Joe Shimamura (21) - Rajomon University (Fourth Year)
Member of the Archaeology Research Club. He also helps with excavations.
• Saori Takagaki (20) - She has feelings for Joe, but...
She uncovers Igusa's secret and is murdered.
• Shinta Goda (21) - Joe's classmate. He's skilled at excavation work,
artifact restoration, and is generally handy. He's cheerful and a natural leader.A righteous man (comic relief).
• Dojin Junten (Assistant Professor) - A weak-willed, alcoholic man prone to drinking.
He checks Professor Darui's opinions and counters them with his own theories.
But he's bald, fat, and short... and has a crush on Igusa.

>>23731718
• The mastermind – loves Igusa. An adult's unconditional love, without expecting anything in return. In real life, he is Fujibe Kagariya, 80 years old, but looks only about 60. An energetic and charismatic minister.
• There are three divers: Igusa, Joe, and Saori (the most experienced) – who explore the sea.
• Goda is the checker on the ship.
• Professor Kai and Associate Professor Junten are wandering around on the cruiser.
• The hired captain tells stories about legends and sea folklore.
• Dowsing is more useful than metal detectors and fish finders!
• Moai statues – scholars inspecting them on site – one is missing – the truth.
• A small reef – large underneath a cave entering reveals a space
the shadow of a Moai statue lying down like a statue of Buddha in Nirvana.
• Joe… sets off alone to Easter Island (for an investigation).
However… there are no clues.

• Synopsis
1. Joe, Yonaguni Island - Dr. Gilmore and the TV phone
Morning - The old man is an early riser.
2. Called by Igusa, he goes to the research vessel (cruiser).
3. Departure, 30 kilometers offshore. A small reef - but,
it spreads out widely below, and there's an entrance to a cave. There are artificial structures in the tunnel,
such as staircases and tower-like structures. (At sea) - Character
(brief) introduction. - The state of the sea, dolphins,
flying fish, seagulls, etc. (old stories on the ship, etc.)
4. Reef Three people dive: Igusa, Joe, and Saori.
Supporters... Goda and the professors.
5. Diving - into the cave. Using BiB (Beans Bomb)... a Moai statue (embedded in the rock!)
appears. Bird-man paintings are also drawn on the rock wall.
- Just as expected!! - The rock composition is completely
different. This is a mystery, a big mystery - looking at Joe.
(He suddenly notices and quickly looks away, but she's always looking with a strange expression.)

>>23731720
• Igusa is a woman of breathtaking beauty. While somewhat classic in appearance, she possesses a mysterious, captivating beauty that draws you in at first sight.
6. The relationship between the Early Jomon ancient civilization and the southern route (including the Inca and Easter Island) tribes and cultures might be revealed... She looks at him strangely again.
Joe senses that he will fly to Easter Island.
7. She wants to move it. It requires considerable buoyancy, but it's not impossible. —While that project is underway, go and investigate Easter Island! From the perspective of the Jomon ancient civilization, we might understand something different than before...
8. Joe flies to Easter Island. He settles in and continues his research.
He requests guidance from Dr. Mun of Polynesia University.
The two of them investigate the Rongorongo script, the birdman cult, and the Moai statues... but find nothing. However—They notice one thing: the existence of a lost Moai statue. This is where they arrive at the truth.
9. She comes to Kagariya to ask for financial assistance for the Moai retrieval operation. Of course, he readily agreea—but in return, he wants her to meet with the Prime Minister. He's become someone he's not meant to be, and he's lost, so they want her to give him some direction, even if it's just pretending to be a fortune teller. Heh heh... If he were to take it seriously, the Prime Minister's position would be instantly shattered into a million pieces.
• "Huh? You've already called him?" (A Prime Minister like Hashimoto) - A cold, indifferent response
She's already thinking about reforming the country as "Goddess Himiko." In other words, that means "dominating" Japan.
10. The operation to send Joe to Easter Island (the Moai teleportation) was because she was curious about Joe! Yes, something about him intrigued her.
A flash of insight that could be called "precognition."

>>23731721
—This time, I would very much like you to come to the Cabinet Council and tell us about this...
She is hypnotizing and brainwashing everyone she meets. By the time Joe returns, a large portion of the political, bureaucratic, and economic sectors are under her control. She sacrifices some of them (hereditary politicians, public works projects, and retired officials taking lucrative positions) and even receives applause from the public. Yes, Japan was captivated by the appearance of "Goddess Himiko."
12. However, like the false Christ, Himiko is suspicious. But if she's only doing good things and nothing bad, there's no way to fight her.
13. Saori dies in the Moai surfacing project. The associate professor also falls into the sea and goes missing...
Even Darui suddenly loses his enthusiasm at this point. He began to think that he might be being manipulated by some unknown, ominous, and deceptive plan.
14. Centered around students from Rajomon University, a "social reform movement" begins, like a new religious cult.
It's becoming more and more prevalent. They worship Himiko as a goddess, and are destroying all the flaws (the people's dissatisfaction) in the administration, healthcare, yakuza, drugs, prostitution, and education. (A situation where the water is too clean for fish to live in.)
• The grand experiment on a small island nation collapses.
(Events of just over a month)
15. And then a confrontation takes place across the Moai statues.
"Please return them to their original place!"
"...How did you know?" "You sent me to Easter Island to make me realize that, didn't you? And also to show me your "power"!"
Goddess Himiko passionately talks to Joe about "ruling Japan."
"I need a partner. You're perfect. You, no, you too, possess "power." I feel it when I'm in love. I really want you to do this with me!"

>>23731723
"I'm not interested in that kind of power! I refuse. Besides...Igusa-san. Stop toying with power. People, for better or for worse, must decide their own destiny."
"But if we leave things as they are, they will self-destruct. They will be destroyed!"
"Isn't that... also destiny? But I don't think so. People aren't that foolish. When faced with a crisis,they will find a way by pooling their wisdom and courage. I think that's what evolution is."
"I will make them obey no matter what!!"
The Lightning Coast—a quiet battle begins with the Moai in the center—Telepathic attack
• The father appears drunk
* "Acceleration" refers to the speeding up of consciousness. The movements of the surroundings become slow. (A time difference
like that between humans and plants) In that state of consciousness, all cells move, so it appears to move 9 times faster than normal.
However, Himiko had even more "superpowers." —Danger, at that moment
• A scream A three-meter-tall Moai statue is falling on the father.
• Himiko is startled—the curse is broken.
Joe knocks Himiko down (renders her unconscious). Then, he blows away the Moai statue, removing it from the professor's body. Himiko is surprised.
• "I knew you were a cyborg. But you shouldn't have had such 'power'! When did this happen... Why?!Are you really one of us after all?!"
• "Let's get the Moai back." "If you have that kind of power, then do it yourself..." Psychokinesis and psychokinesis intertwine, and Himiko stumbles. She tries to perform teleportation (her mind) wavers. —And she fuses with the Moai... and disappears.
• A faint scream of "Help me..." is heard.
• Empathy (at that moment, another power intervenes) = physical transference occurs.

>>23731724

• Easter Island, Professor Mun. The lost Moai statues have somehow returned... and there's a voice-like sound!
—"Again..." he says, shaking his head, "Only strange things keep happening. I hope it's not a sign of the end of the world (catastrophe)..."

• In fact, Joe has already undergone "superpower awakening" by Ivan. —"The opponent you're fighting is 'God'."
• Psychic surgery Psycho-operation
Modification, Construction, Enhancement, Strengthening
• Psychic strengthening
• Everyone possesses the ability to become a "psychic."

>>23731727

• The professor was lonely (separated from his daughter). Kagariya and Goda were just drinking alcohol together. This was because the Japan Coast Guard crew members were efficiently handling everything.
• Easter Island - No harvest again today.

• He stumbles, the Moai is about to fall, it's dangerous
• At that moment, the two's superpowers intersect.
• Send it back. To where it originally was.

Why did you send me to Easter Island?

Because I was testing you, and you seemed like you might get in the way. Besides, I wanted to see your true form.
If you have the same power as us, you should be able to get closer to the truth...And the Moai will become a symbol of our future power.

Fool. I won't let that happen!

Let's reform Yamato, Japan, together with us!

>>23731729

Professor Kagariya's question to his daughter:

"Hisui, who exactly are you? Who are you?! Where did the kind, intelligent, and cheerful you go?! Why—Why have you become such a monster?!"
"Father, I'm right here. And—I'm your daughter. A monster? That's cruel! I haven't done anything wrong. On the contrary, I'm upholding justice! I couldn't stand by and let the corruption of this world— of Japan—continue. That's why..."
"No, what you're doing is like fighting poison with an even stronger poison. You are using a monstrous—some kind of unknown power to manipulate and control them. Yes, for example, something like powerful hypnotic suggestion, you've turned them into obedient slaves! They have no individuality. They confessed the truth and repented, but what was the result? The nation, the country, was thrown into a panic, and things became uncontrollable. Certainly, the attitudes of politicians, bureaucrats, and business leaders who looked down on ordinary people were terrible. Certainly, their corruption was sickening. However, they were, so to speak, the lubricant in a world of deception. Because you cut off that lubricant, that mechanism stopped functioning. Think about it, what kept Japan running, for better or for worse, was that very mechanism built on lies. That's why the people ended up dying along with it..."
"No, Father. The people won't die. They will be able to live peacefully in a world without lies, violence, and poverty!"
"...As your puppets? In the end, they will again be under the same kind of power, though perhaps of a slightly different nature."
"You've become a slave, controlled by her!"
"No! That's not true! I am the Goddess Himiko! Humans make mistakes, but gods do not!"
"Ugh... A god?! A goddess?! Ugh...Why, when, and where did you acquire such 'power'?"

>>23731732

"I didn't acquire it! It was a power I already possessed. I unearthed it myself, trained it, and made it stronger! I became aware of the existence of that power through a 'revelation' one day—and, as I later found out, there are already many other 'gods' who possess the same 'abilities'!"
"So that's the 'power' that manipulates people... and teleported the Moai from Easter Island to Japan. And this Moai is the symbol of the first manifestation of the 'power of the gods'... Damn it!"

The professor suddenly groaned, as if he had regained his original, ferocious energy, and raised the sledgehammer high. He was about to destroy the Moai statue. His gray, trampled-looking, weed-like hair stood on end.
"Stop!!"
The dignified voice of the goddess Himiko echoed, and the professor's body froze, the sledgehammer stopping just before it struck the Moai.
"I won't let you do that!" Another voice... No, it wasn't a voice. Of course, both the professor and Joe heard it clearly, but it was a voice from the heart. It was a telepathic voice. And the power that deprived the professor of his freedom was psychokinesis. It was truly the "power of a god."
However, stopping instantly was almost impossible. Especially with the momentum of the sledgehammer. The professor stumbled and bumped into the base of the Moai. It was still fixed in place.

The unstable pedestal wobbled precariously. Then it toppled, threatening to fall on the professor... The two of them started running simultaneously.
"Father!!" Priestess Hisui's voiceless cry.
A voice that had returned to being Hisui—she ran. A switch clicked in Joe's consciousness—he ran.
"Joe, you're a hindrance now. You're an enemy who's interfering with the grand 'Divine Plan'. Die!!"
The speed of his consciousness increased tenfold. His body blurred. Joe's body, too, was running ahead of the passing time.
Priestess Hisui's "divine power" attacked Joe at the speed he was at the moment he started moving.

But Joe was no longer in that time.
Priestess Hisui was stunned. Joe, in addition to the "divine power" we possess...Does he possess another power?! I've always thought something was strange about him. A mysterious power...
For a moment, his consciousness went blank, and he made Priestess Hisui collide with the Moai statue. He snapped back to reality and used telekinesis, shouting, "Return to Easter Island!!"
Priestess Hisui's body, for some reason, remained embedded in the Moai statue—the telekinesis activated—and she disappeared.
"Professor!" Joe, who had been holding the fallen professor, was now back in his physical form.
"Ugh... ugh..." The professor groaned and opened his eyes slightly.
"...Hisui...!" And then, he breathed his last.
The Moai statue—the statue that had returned.
A faint voice of the Priestess Hisui... Let me out... Someone, get me out of here.
Where... where am I...? Help me.
The only thing that heard her was the Southern Cross, shining with a wet, glistening light.

The Four People from Enoshima
—Ivan says it's an awakening, but
Anyway, it's a good thing we realized this would happen
and had someone on our side—Joe, that is—awaken as a "superhuman" beforehand.
—Hey, Doctor. Will I be able to have that awakening too?! I... well,
since I was a boy, I've longed for "superpowers"... to fly through the sky, to watch beautiful women bathing...
—Is that like Kume no Sennin from the old tales, Sho-san?
What do you plan to do with such power now?
You'll just be laughed at for being an old man trying something foolish.
—Did Ivan say anything else?
—Ah, Joe, he also said this: Everyone will be coming soon.
To prepare for the catastrophe and Armageddon. And then,
he said to wake him up when they arrive, and then he went back to sleep.
—Honestly, what a sleepy... or rather, a feigning baby.
—Everyone will be coming to Japan soon...

• Father-Daughter Confrontation Scene

"I want you to understand. I brought the Moai here because I wanted to please you, Father! I love you, Father!!"
"No, no, Hisui. That's not love. It's ego. A display of your power, ambition, self-aggrandizement... It's not love for me. It's love for yourself!"
"How cruel! Father, that's too much! Even after I gained the — I dedicated myself to you for a while! I wanted to try out my new power quickly,
but... I couldn't leave because I thought you would be lonely!"
"It's true that I may have spoiled you too much, keeping you by my side, especially since you lost your mother so early. That was my selfishness..."

• The scene where they merge with the Moai statue
• The thoughts of the two distorted space.
The acceleration created a vortex in spacetime...
• Hisui slipped smoothly into the Moai statue. It was as if
it had been teleported (drawn) from Easter Island
and settled smoothly into the rock and sand... And at that
moment, she emitted a thought of telekinesis-induced teleportation.
"Return to Easter Island!!"
The Moai statue fell onto Professor Kagariya, and as it fell, it disappeared.
Superpowers occur even defying the laws of nature.
Therefore, until an explanation can be found,
it remains "supernatural."
That's what just happened!

Spring rain – the sky disappears, the earth disappears, even the void disappears

• The moment of transition

• One was already dead.
The other was about to die.
It was a transition so instantaneous that even a single moment couldn't be counted. In that "instant," there was no thunder, no rumbling of the earth, and no mountains collapsed. But eventually, when the planet noticed the abnormality of its location, it trembled and screamed. The sea water rushed up to the heavens, the earth cracked open and spewed fire. Mountains sank and then rose again. And many of the abundant creatures that lived on that planet disappeared. Most of the creatures called "humans," who reigned at the top of that food chain, also died. However, these humans,skillfully using the tools of "civilization" that they had acquired (such as an ark to survive the flood), a small number of them barely managed to survive. This event took place about 12,000 years ago. The name of the planet was Earth.
—Let's assume that one universe is called "Light."
—Let's assume that one universe is called "Darkness."
The stars of the universe of light were teeming with life.
At the very edge of a small universe called a galaxy,there was a village-like universe called the solar system, but even there, each planet was inhabited by creatures that had undergone various evolutions and lived peacefully. Life was abundant on Earth, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, and Neptune.
It was truly the "universe of light." But,suddenly, the creatures at the top of the food chain on Earth,called "humans," acquired a malevolent "power." According to one theory, some kind of "scent" that a scholar was researching affected his brain, but the details are unclear. The ominous "power" meant that anything could be done with a single command of will. This "power" brought "a desire for domination" to humanity. They wanted to dominate all the planets in the solar system, all living things!

>>23731742
An indiscriminate attack without a declaration of war began. Some planets were almost destroyed in a single blow. The "Moon," Earth's immediate neighbor, was the biggest victim. The atmosphere was instantly blown away by the force attack, leaving it covered in craters, and of course,
all living things perished. They were gentle creatures with bushy tails and long ears...The next target was naturally Mars. However, the Martians launched a decisive counterattack. They abandoned their physical bodies! Physical bodies are fragile and vulnerable to physical attacks. If the enemy was attacking with mental power, then they would fight with mental power as well. Thus, the Martian mental life forms...They attacked Earth and humanity. No matter what "power" humans possessed, killing one by one, or even two at a time,they would not be defeated. They invaded the bodies and suppressed the source of their "power." Once that was done, they could no longer use their "power." Humans became mere creatures. —And that's exactly what happened.There was resistance here and there, and skirmishes, and cities were destroyed (Sodom and Gomorrah), but the outcome was decided.Humans stubbornly survived.
Many Martians were sacrificed. To prevent humanity's "power" from reawakening, they had to continue suppressing that ferocious power. As a result,
the Martian spiritual beings were forced to become prisoners within the bodies of Earthlings. Creatures from all the planets gathered, and a trial was held at the Solar System Planetary Federation Court. The judges delivered their verdict.Guilty! This dangerous planet must be banished.It's unknown how long the Martian spiritual entities's powers will last. Guilty! Banishment! The banishment execution was a simple matter. A single rotation of the surface and the underside would suffice. The five-dimensional axis rotated, and three-dimensional A and three-dimensional B...
Slithering

>>23731744
...In the universe of darkness, not only the Moon, but also Mars, Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto were all dead. No living beings existed in this universe. A universe of death. A universe of darkness. It was a universe of hell. The satellite Moon was a melancholic gray. Mars was red, but dusty and waterless—that is, a lifeless planet. Mercury and Venus were scorching hot, and Jupiter was a hellish planet of poisonous gases. Jupiter was filled with poisonous gases. Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, and other planets were the same. Even the large moons and asteroid belts seemed to have contracted the deadly disease of their parent stars. Every star was a dead star, sleeping in a cold, dark grave.
—About 12,000 years ago, there was planetary displacement (teleportation). Memories of the previous universe had been erased. However, there was a faint feeling that someone else existed somewhere besides us. This unconscious impulse—a nostalgic feeling at the genetic level—reminded us of what we had forgotten (the future is the past forgotten...the words of a mentally ill patient), and we gradually recovered the civilization we had built in the previous universe. And as we gazed at the stars through telescopes, flew through the sky, and attempted to venture into space, the feeling that "we are not alone" grew stronger.
However, this creature called "human"—the apex predator at the top of the food chain, the king of the law of the jungle—did not cease its destructive behavior. The ferocious qualities that were supposed to be suppressed occasionally surfaced, leading to impulsive killings of others, destruction of nature, and large-scale
attempts to annihilate other races and ethnicities that they disliked (war). ...As mentioned before, it was the Martian mental entities who were shielding (sealing) and controlling the human minds. However, even their seemingly tireless efforts gradually showed signs of fatigue.

>>23731746
This was because the true nature of "humans," which had been suppressed until then, was gradually awakening due to external factors—population growth, competitive society... stress, high-tech civilization, social inequality, abnormal weather, catastrophes caused by nuclear war, etc. New diseases were constantly emerging,and then one day, suddenly, from the forests that had been logged and burned, where the greenery had diminished, a deadly virus (which had been previously unknown—existing but buried, without the need to appear) manifested itself...The shield (the Martian mental entity) was old and ailing. The cracks in it, like those in the ozone layer, were growing larger. The shield was broken through. Instinctive thoughts reared their heads, and the conflict with the mental entity trying to control them increased the number of patients with conditions such as dual personality and multiple personality disorder. Ruthless and senseless murders became rampant, drugs and guns were traded as a matter of course, and crime gradually spread to younger and younger ages. A ferocious wild animal, if you let your guard down, will bite off an arm or two even when it's still a cub. And then, finally, a certain human being—one who had retained particularly strong instinctive qualities—awakened, killed the mental entity, and broke free from the yoke. And immediately, the memories of ancient times...that ferocious power of ancient times...A previously unknown and largely unused part of the brain—the part where a dangerous mental power was sealed away—has awakened! They tried using the ancient, malevolent "power." People died, and things and buildings crumbled. People were astonished and terrified, and prostrated themselves at its feet. This was the resurrection of "God"... of the "gods." It was the "second coming" prophesied in the Book of Revelation.

• A pet that was on board a UFO escaped. They caused a huge commotion, and the appearance of the aliens from Planet XX was exactly like a plesiosaur or a Bigfoot.
They were mistaken for "ghosts" while traveling between dimensions, and occasionally, some humans exhibited "supernatural abilities" through cracks in the shield—though these were only things like spoon bending or fortune-telling—and some of them were called psychics...

He stood towering between the skyscrapers, like an "Ultraman monster." Thunder and lightning. The earth shook, and the windows of the buildings shattered. Lightning wrapped around his body, continuously shimmering. It seemed that "supernatural powers" were protecting and shielding his body.
"I am the Great Demon God Zeus. I have come to annihilate you. You must have already realized it, but that's right, I am an illusion. I am not real. You cannot erase an illusion. However, I can launch attacks from my side. As you know, illusions devour reality!"

(TL: A climax/end idea that Onodera did not use for his novels and manga. Humanity is put on trial after Armageddon to decide if Earth will be reborn in the universe of Light or wiped out for good.)

The scene of returning to the universe of light.

—"There's a reason for the rebellion of the 'Earthlings'," said the lawyer for the Venusian (the story of Adamski meeting a Venusian was therefore true). He was a blonde humanoid.
—"You're sympathetic because you're a related species," the amoeba-shaped Neptunian retorted.
—"Loneliness is poison to life. Light and darkness, heaven and hell, white and black, good and evil... and happiness and unhappiness. Everyone wishes to live in a positive world. They pray to escape from the negative world. That energy is despair, a sad and evil mental illness seeped out by darkness. Then why not, in this world, we all warmly watch over them..."
—"No. The Earthlings' illness is incurable. They lack the sensitivity to
accept warm hospitality."
"That's not true!" Joe, who was present as a witness,shouted and stood up. Françoise, still holding Ivan in her arms, also tried to stand up.
The judge was about to strike the gavel... and stopped.
"Earthlings... although it may be thanks to the sacrifice of the Martians... have emotions! Because, as proof, everyone is longing for the world of light! We are cooperating with the Martians inside our bodies and devising ways to use our power only for good...it will take a little more time...but we have started. And we have also had discussions. From now on, not only you, but we ourselves will monitor each other, and as soon as possible, we will become members of the universe of light that we can be proud of..."

>>23731761
—"The lawyer's words that loneliness brings out evil are true. We have fought against our own , or rather , and achieved victory!!"
Judgment
A thread of light was seen in the mind's eye. The thread of mercy.
Judgment was passed. —Return is permitted!
"However... (at this point, the stern face of the chief judge softened for the first time...) We will not pull you up. You must crawl your way up alone. That is also a ceremony of independence."

Joe and the others prayed. Eleven people prayed. The surviving people of Japan prayed. Americans prayed. Indians, Africans, and French people prayed.
Birds prayed, fish prayed, and beasts prayed. Water, trees, grass, mountains, and the sea all prayed.
—The Earth was transformed.
Welcomed by searchlights of sunlight and a majestic and magnificent
celestial fanfare...Not with a slithering motion, but with a graceful flutter.

>>23731762
The Venusians—don't you feel it? A chill is already beginning to engulf us...
This unsettling feeling...The lawyers, the prosecutors, and the spectators each exchanged glances with their neighbors.
A shiver... They trembled and hastily averted their eyes, looking at the judge. There were wrinkles on the judge's brow as well.
"Let's finish this quickly and leave." Those wrinkles twitched.

>>23731763
Prologue
• As the science fiction writer said...
—Arthur C. Clarke said something like this: "Most 'supernatural phenomena' have their answers within the human brain..."
—Hmm. Maybe so.
—Is that right...? For example—he continued: As the astonishing memory seen in Savant Syndrome (mainly involving calendars, square root calculations, and number memorization) demonstrates, the human right and left brains, consciousness and unconsciousness, hold "unknown abilities."
—Savant Syndrome, is that the one where...? People with extremely low intelligence quotients and mental disabilities possess one exceptional talent that surpasses everyone else...
—That's right, that's right. Those people must see the world in a completely different way than we do...
—But what's the connection between "supernatural phenomena" and the brain?
—Heh heh. Uh... so, here, here. For example, "Reincarnation"—
—What's that?
—It's about being reborn. Even after dying, you're
reborn again. It's a belief in Buddhism and Hinduism. That's why
stories about reincarnation are common in those regions...
—Ah, that's it. If you believe it, then mackerel and sardines are all
the same...
—That's not right, Dr. Gilmore. Even the head of a mackerel is a matter
of faith. If you believe in it, even the head of a mackerel will seem precious. The meaning is different.
—No, it's not different. The belief that "a mackerel's head is precious!"
and the belief that "I am a reincarnation"... there's no difference in those beliefs.

>>23731764

—Is that so? I feel like I've been talked into something by the doctor's beliefs... Well, anyway, Clarke gives this example: A young woman in the neighboring
village suddenly died, and soon after, a baby girl was born in Village B.Eventually, when that girl grew up and became a girl of a certain age,she started talking about the young woman from Village A who haddied several years earlier. That's what happened. She started talking in detail about her husband's name, of course, but also the names of her children, her parents' names, the layout of the house, and even the people in the neighborhood. So, everyone concluded, "This must be a reincarnation!"
—I see. So, what's the punchline?
—This isn't a rakugo (traditional Japanese comic storytelling) performance... Besides, the story continues. Because the girl insisted on so many things, her parents reluctantly decided to take her to the neighboring village.
They set off in a car, but surprisingly, even though it was supposed to be her first time in that village, the girl started giving instructions to the driver, like "Turn there," or "Go straight." And finally, she said, "Stop there," and it was exactly right.
It was the house of the young woman who had died. When she saw the husband who came out, she hugged him and started crying, and when she saw the children—who were older than her—she started crying again. And then she started talking about what was where in the house, and how things were, just like the young woman who had died. That's the story...
—So, I'm asking you to get to the punchline already!
—Hehehe. In short, this is a "supernatural phenomenon"! It's such a strange story that you'd think it was unbelievable, so Dr. Gilmore naturally wants to know the conclusion quickly. Hehehe...
—......
—Hehe, before we get to the conclusion, or rather, the punchline, several "scientists" have investigated this story, you see. And they've declared that it's true.
—What?!

>>23731765
—However, Clarke's opinion is this: When the daughter was a baby, or perhaps a slightly older toddler, someone from the neighboring village came—or it's highly possible it was a family member—and talked about various things, including gossip about the deceased young wife, her family, and the neighbors. The girl, half-asleep during a nap or perhaps playing with a doll, overheard these conversations without consciously listening. The adults' "voices" entered her ears unconsciously and were locked away in her brain's memory. Then, eventually, triggered by some stimulus, she started talking about the young wife, and it turned into a story of reincarnation...
—Hmm, hmm... I see, I see...
—So, the point is that the human brain still has that kind of wandering ability.I, for one, think that kind of "super" ability looks like something out of the occult.
—No, no, Sho-san, you're wrong. I strongly agree with Clarke's theory. It's very theoretical and persuasive. As expected of the scientist who conceived of communication satellites!
—Well, he's more famous as a science fiction writer, with works like "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Childhood's End"... And "2001" and especially "Childhood's End" are quite occult-like and fantastic...
—That's right, it's precisely because he has a hard and cool rationality that he can write about such "supernatural phenomena" as interesting and amusing fiction.
—Speaking of which, Asimov is like that too, and so are most Japanese science fiction writers; they deny UFOs outright, but they write extensively about warp drives and robots. That's unfair.
—Sho-san, what do you think? Mr. Clarke's occult = brain theory is certainly interesting, but...It seems Sho-san has some complaints.
—Well, it's not exactly a complaint, but there are things that can't be explained by just brain science...
—That's why. I'm suggesting we discuss "supernatural phenomena" by incorporating various perspectives like that.

>>23731767
—Huh? Oh... that sounds interesting.
—Don't you think so?
—No, I was just a little surprised. Dr. Gilmore said something so uncharacteristic of him...
—Uncharacteristic? That's rude. I live with Ivan, who's like a baby when it comes to "supernatural phenomena"!
—Haha. Now that you mention it, that's true. No, I meant that I thought you were a cold, rational scientist. I thought you'd try to find a logical explanation for everything and take a negative stance...
—You don't understand, Sho-san. Negation is also one perspective, isn't it? Of course, I intend to take the position of a skeptic, but a discussion only works when there are both negative and affirmative positions.
—Dr. Gilmore. It seems you've thought of me as an occult believer from the start.
—Isn't that right? Judging from the works you've created...
—What about Clarke, Asimov, and Sakyo Komatsu?
—Ah, I see...
—It's not like I believe everything completely, you know. If anything, I'm more likely to be skeptical. But...
Instead of denying it and reducing it to nothing, wouldn't it be more fun to expand your imagination and broaden your worldview by considering the possibilities?
—Okay, okay. I apologize. While I'm at it, I'll confess that I've actually been quite interested in the occult for a long time. I've been secretly reading books on the subject.
—I knew that. But you always had such a difficult expression on your face while reading them, like you were chewing on a bitter pill, so I thought you considered it all nonsense...
—There's a reason for that. It's said that becoming interested in the occult is the beginning of aging, a sign that one's rationality is declining.
—Speaking of which, there are quite a few examples that make that statement seem unavoidable, aren't there? Like Conan Doyle, who believed in fairies... I recently found out that he believed in fake photographs, and became engrossed in ghosts and the afterlife...

>>23731769
—There are also examples to the contrary. For example, Einstein. He's considered a symbol of scientists, and he was indeed a physicist, but he approached the occult rationally. He said that in the final stages of quantum mechanics and physics, it's impossible to explain things without resorting to the occult. He also said that advanced science is indistinguishable from magic, and perhaps Einstein was surprisingly seeing the truth. I like Einstein's words, "The distinction between past, present, and future is merely an illusion."
—Okay, it's decided. Well then, I'd like to start right away... but before that, I need Ivan's milk and diapers.
—Then, in the meantime, I'll prepare a few related books.

●U.F.O.
—So, where should we start?
—Haha. For a lively opening, there's nothing better than the biggest mystery of the 20th century, UFOs!
—A big theme, indeed. That's fine with me. Ah... UFOs are...
—No! Haha, hahahaha... Well, don't be so nervous. Hehe, this isn't an academic conference presentation, Sho-san. It's just a casual conversation, so relax...
—Hehe... I'm sorry. I messed up and just got a little carried away.
—UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Objects.
In other words, it's an abbreviation for "unidentified flying object," and now it's
like a car or an airplane... no, even more than that. Well,like air or water, it's become a "noun" that almost everyone knows. In fact, about 70% of American citizens believe in the existence of UFOs, and about 50% believe they have seen them. That's about it.
—Yes. Thank you, thank you. But... about 90% of those sightings
can be explained by stars, the moon, aircraft lights, or natural phenomena such as gas from swamps or ball lightning, and the reality is that there are surprisingly few credible "eyewitness accounts." Generally, many UFO photos are fake, and there are hardly any "objects" that prove their existence.

>>23731770
—Hey, hey, Sho-san. You can't forget your position. You're a believer, not a skeptic.
—I understand, I'm getting to that... On June 24, 1947, a man named Kenneth Arnold was flying a small plane over Mount Rainier in Washington State
when he witnessed nine objects flying in formation. They looked like coffee saucers, so he named them "flying saucers." This is excellent...The very naming of UFOs was a major factor that made the phenomenon one of the greatest mysteries of the 20th century....That's still a bit stiff. To be honest, the reason I'm like this is because I've been reading books. Let's just chat based on memory for now. I'll only look at the books when I need to check dates or numbers...
—That's right, that's the spirit. Let's relax.
—It's been nearly 60 years since I came to Tokyo from the countryside, and that was right around the time of the first "flying saucer" boom. There were magazines specializing in flying saucers, and books like Adamski's "Eyewitness Account" were being published. Wow, I was so excited and immediately became obsessed. I was living in an apartment called Tokiwa-so, and every night I'd look up at the sky with people like Akatsuka (Fujio)... Heh, in the end, we'd just eat late-night ramen and call it a night, but we had dreams back then. Yes, we didn't see any "flying saucers," but it was a time when you could still see the stars. A time when Tokyo still had a sky...
—I read Adamski's book too. But I immediately thought it was a fake, a work of fiction. I was a freshman in college then, I was probably just a cocky young man, but the idea of being taken to Venus in a flying saucer is just ridiculous...
—That's probably from the sequel. Well, yes, certainly. But there are also descriptions that later match the facts. For example, "space fireflies."
—That's just a coincidence, a coincidence.
—And then there's the "Adamski-type saucer," which was sighted and photographed many times afterward.

>>23731777
—Didn't you say that most of the photos were fakes? I think the Adamski type is the prime example of that.
—What about the cigar-shaped mothership?
—I'm impressed by the imagination. However, before that, there were airships like the Zeppelin, and around the end of World War II, there was a lot of research into rockets. The association is easy.
—Hmm. I wonder if Adamski can't be refuted. For me, my encounter with Adamski was the first, so I guess there's a culture shock. There's something that bothers me, something I can't just dismiss...
—You can't break away from nostalgia, can you? Nostalgia for your youth... Maybe it's Peter Pan syndrome.
—That's cold. Well, since Peter Pan syndrome and nostalgia came up, I'll tell you this: when I was a boy—it was right after the war, when I was in second or third grade—I saw something shining in the sky that I can't definitively call a UFO, but it was "something like" one. It was a clear blue sky. I discovered it. A golden, glittering object was flying in a zigzag pattern. Of course, this was before I knew about flying saucers or UFOs, so I was surprised and watched it, and several passersby gathered around... It seemed to last for quite a long time. One of the older men among them, who looked like an old man to me as a child, slowly said this. He probably felt he had to say something as the oldest person there. "That's a comet, a shooting star!" Even as a child, I thought, "What a stupid thing to say!" Because I'd never heard of a shooting star that crossed the sky in a zigzag pattern.
—Hmm, what exactly was that, I wonder?
—It's still a mystery. The plane was certainly flying, but I don't think it was flying at an altitude high enough to create a contrail that glowed golden. And unless it was malfunctioning and about to crash, it wouldn't be flying in a zigzag pattern.

>>23731780
—Around the time of World War II, there were those "foo fighters." Those glowing spheres that followed American and German fighter planes...
—Was that ball lightning? But it seemed to have some kind of will... Around the end of the 20th century, there was a university professor who claimed that UFOs, ghosts, crop circles, spontaneous human combustion, everything could be explained by ball lightning. He was a kind of catch-all theorist, like Clarke's brain theory, but it's hard to believe that a mere discharge phenomenon occurring by chance could create something like the beautiful geometric patterns of crop circles.
—No, you never know. Considering time and chance in nature, it might be able to accomplish things beyond the supernatural. Like that face on Mars...
—Stop! Let's make that a big topic later. It seems to be the same as Adamski's Venus. Even though I understand intellectually that Mars is a dead planet, for some reason, there's a part of me that can't quite accept it.
—What, it's the same thing. Culture shock. You could say it's a psychological trauma for humanity. Since ancient times, the red color of that planet might have looked like the eyes of a beast attacking at night, and that fear eventually turned it into "Mars," the planet of the god of war. Then came the "canal" mistake controversy by Schiaparelli and Lowell, H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds," and Orson Welles' radio broadcast panic, and finally, the trauma was complete.
—So, the "face" that Mars's natural features show is also due to this trauma?
—Exactly. That's why Clarke's brain theory is so convincing. If you add Jung's theory of the collective unconscious to this, you can conclude that seeing UFOs and encountering aliens are psychological problems, or problems of the brain.

>>23731782

—Hey, wait a minute, Doctor. Dr. Gilmore, you can't jump to conclusions yet. There are still so many topics left to discuss... Besides, we haven't even exhausted the topic of UFOs.
—Okay. Then let's skip ahead to the Betty and Barney Hill abduction case, the close encounter of the third kind.
—No, before that, let's talk about "Area 51" and the "Roswell Incident." The US Air Force recovered a flying saucer that crashed on a ranch in the Roswell area.
They're hiding it, along with the alien bodies—although there's a theory that they were still alive at first...
—This is famous only in name, but that's precisely why it's so suspicious. It was the same with the atomic bomb manufacturing; when a nation wants to distract its citizens from a project, it fabricates a fake case to draw attention away. I don't like the three men in black suits who appeared around that time, claiming to be investigators, but actually threatening and monitoring people. Everything they did was half-hearted. In other words, it was all just a formality.
—That's so heartless. At this rate, the Hill couple's abduction case (alien abduction) will probably be dismissed as a mere illusion, won't it?
—Yes. The collective unconscious desires, fears, and reliance on deities shared by humanity...that's what created this delusion...
—Didn't Jung say that if 50% or 70% of thepopulation—a large number of people, anyway—think the same thing at the same time, it
becomes reality?
—I told you not to agree! Argue against it,give me a counter-argument...!
—What about cattle mutilation? Livestock such as cows were cut open with techniques impossible with modern surgical technology, and all the blood was drained without a single drop remaining. A mysterious incident where UFOs and aliens were always sighted nearby!

>>23731785
—Heh, heh. There's no such thing as a surgical procedure that can't be done today, and even back then some individuals possessed technology that could be described as "futuristic." Extracting blood was a simple matter for them...
—...These "certain individuals," are you referring to the S.A.P. you mentioned before...? Was Dr. Gilmore one of them?
—Uh... I think bringing that up for discussion or attack is against the rules... Well, thanks to your telepathic contact with Ivan across time and space, you're now "one of us." You have the right to talk about it as a family anecdote.
—Excuse me. The reason I brought that up, and the UFOs as well, is that there are many instances where so-called advanced technologies that will be realized in the future appear before they even exist, surprising people.
For example, the mysterious airships that appeared before the invention of airships. The mysterious aircraft that appeared before the invention of airplanes. The flying saucers also seem to be evolving, changing their colors and shapes...
—Couldn't that be explained by collective wishful thinking? For example, the appearance of God...There were spirits before, and when God left humanity and
disappeared, becoming a being in the clouds, he transformed into a spirit. Even if spirits changed their form with the times and became aliens, I wouldn't be surprised. In other words, aliens are the modern-day gods, and UFOs are their sacred, shining vehicles. It seems humanity has been seeking God since the dawn of time.
—What kind of trauma is that, I wonder?!
—Well, well. It seems I have the upper hand. Let me give you a little handicap. So, if UFOs actually exist,
what is their purpose?
—Surveillance.
—Surveillance? Why? Are they watching over us so we don't destroy ourselves? What meddlesome beings they are. A Galactic Federation?

>>23731786

—Whether that's the case or not, there's no other explanation. They've taken too long if they're here to conquer us. The scale is far too small for them to be coming from a planet on the verge of extinction, seeking new blood for interbreeding. Or perhaps, without our knowledge, half of humanity has already been invaded... But anyway, they're often seen loitering above missile bases, nuclear power plants, and chemical facilities, which suggests they're monitoring us.
—The idea that they're coming from space is also questionable.
They can't use the speed of light or tachyons. Black holes and warp drives are just fantasy. For monitoring or tourism, Earth is just a backwater planet in the galaxy. The distances are vast; aliens couldn't possibly get here. Of course, humans can't go there either. Humanity is all alone, isolated. That's why...
—We dream. Dreams of God. Dreams of near-death experiences, of leaving the womb. Dreams of fetuses with slanted eyes, that these fetuses are aliens...

●Atlantis

—I've brought the coffee.
—Thank you.
—Well, Sho-san, it was quite interesting, but I wouldn't say it all came together perfectly, would you?
—Yes, it seems like we jumped straight to the core issue from the beginning, and the topic might have been too
broad.
—Let's try Atlantis next. That should be more manageable.
—Is that so? Atlantis, like UFOs, is famous enough to be a perfect topic for casual conversation. But it might not be as simple as it seems.
—Let's just try it. Well, Atlantis begins with Plato's two books, "Timaeus" and "Critias." The narrator is Critias, and it's about 7000 words. He says that a man named Solon heard it, and Solon heard it in ancient Egypt... so it's hearsay upon hearsay. Rumors spread like wildfire, so it's not very reliable.

>>23731789
—Atlantis is said to have been a vast island continent like Australia or Africa, but its location hasn't been pinpointed yet, has it? Some say it's near the Azores in the Pacific, others say near the Bimini Islands, or in the Mediterranean. There's even a theory that Atlantis was Antarctica. This comes from the theory that Antarctica, before it was covered in ice (more than ○○○ years ago), was a warm, fertile land where a civilizationflourished. Actually, in "Timaeus," the priest Solon says that Atlantis sank about 12,000 years ago, and the similarity of it being a vast island continent is also interesting.
—Haha, but no matter how much you measure with seismographs, it's impossible to verify anything under 3000 meters of ice...
—Atlantis was in a place like this. It was a civilized country that possessed a global communication network and means of transportation such as airplanes,
but more than anything, it was not physical power, but spiritual power that formed the basis of its civilization's advancement... Isn't that "supernatural power"?
And after its collapse, they scattered across the world, building pyramids and constructing the Inca Empire...
—Hey, who said that?
—Edgar Cayce, the "sleeping prophet."
—Hehe, that's why I said it! The game of telephone is unreliable! Listening to the ramblings of someone dreaming while asleep is useless.
Well, I can't completely deny it, since there's a "sleeping baby" in my house, a baby who sleeps all the time, and apparently possesses amazing "supernatural powers."
—Speaking of which, there's a legend of the continent of Mu, similar to Atlantis, but this one is in the Pacific Ocean, and the story that it included the waters near Japan is also interesting, isn't it? Just now, Joe is investigating underwater ruins in Yonaguni and that area.

>>23731792

—Well, the Earth is a turbulent, living planet. Even now, earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions are occurring. The scale of that disaster has just gotten a little bigger, or perhaps a small island nation like Japan might even be submerged by the sea. This is an undeniable and harsh reality. By the way, it's been a long time, let's have a video call with Joe. I also want to know about the progress of the investigation.
—Let's do it, let's do it.

●Bermuda Triangle
—Well, Joe, it's good to see you're doing well.
—Hmm, the investigation seems to be going smoothly, and he said they're on the verge of discovering something incredible, so I'm looking forward to it. By the way, Sho-san. How is your son, Jo, doing?
—Hah, he's still playing the same unsuccessful actor. He seems to have become a middle-aged actor who gets reviews like "he has a certain charm," but... I wish he would give up soon and become a writer or something.
—Hey Sho-san. You've forgotten your age! How old do you think we are? We're already old men and uncles! Just as I said, he's a Peter Pan. He hasn't grown up from his parents or let go of his children!
—Okay, okay, let's move on. When you talk about Atlantis and underwater ruins, you have to talk about the Bermuda Triangle, right?
—That's the one that's surfacing in the Bimini Islands, right?
—And there's also the "underwater pyramid" that Pyunma is currently investigating. I'm eagerly awaiting the results of that... It was discovered once in the 1900s and then went missing, but it was recently rediscovered... Pyunma applied to be on that research vessel and is on board. Pyunma is a human-operated submersible. "My body itself is like a Nanosuit, you know."
—...
—Oh, I'm sorry... Are you still... still worried about it? Everyone else has already moved on and is thinking positively. In these dire times, you can't survive with just the body your parents gave you. So, if you think of this in a positive way...

—I understand. Half of it might be serious, but half of it is to comfort me. Everyone is so kind, such good children. That's why I... not just me, but...I can't forgive what S.A.P. did. The research and development funds...The source wasn't the government, but a corporation. And when I found out it was a weapons-specializing "merchant of death"... it was already too late. I was shocked, panicked, and regretted it. I secretly revealed the truth to everyone, then secretly made a plan, and one day, we seized an opportunity, "imploded" the research institute completely, and escaped.
—Dr. Gilmore, I'm sorry. That's enough.
—No, Sho. I'm not talking to you. If I don't vent like this sometimes, I can't bear it. Please, let me talk a little more!
—...
—We escaped... The explosion at the research institute was announced as an accident, and everyone was thought to have died. There was no pursuit. It was top-secret research, so they probably couldn't move openly. Each of us scattered to different countries around the world, some even returned to their hometowns—and I... came to Japan with Joe and Ivan... and ended up under your care.
—Well, as for being under your care, the fact that we're living together like this is all thanks to 001, or rather, Ivan's "arrangements"...
—Heh, well, even though we'd been together all that time, we didn't notice anything at all, so we were surprised back then.
—Suddenly, a telepathic message came through: "Arriving on [Month] [Day] at [Time], come pick me up at Narita Airport!" But when I saw the Doctor, Joe, and Arnoul holding Ivan, I understood immediately. I couldn't believe my eyes, though. Of course, there was a considerable difference from the face in the manga, but before I even received an explanation, I understood, "Ah, that's how it is, that's what happened." After all, we'd had a long relationship of over 40 years.

>>23731823

—Yes, absolutely... Regarding Ivan, I can't be a complete skeptic either. It truly is a "space-time jump telepathy," something that completely defies imagination.
—When I learned that, I was actually quite disappointed. That "Cyborg 009" wasn't my original work... That I had no talent at all. Well, sometimes I wonder where these ideas come from. Maybe I'm a genius, I think sometimes I kind of felt like I was being manipulated by someone into drawing, but I never dreamed that the ideas were coming from the future...
—No, no, there's no need to be discouraged. What Ivan sent was just a hint. The development and testing of "merchants of death" and "warrior cyborgs." The rebellion and escape of nine test subjects and one scientist... That's all there was. Besides, the nine subjects didn't have 00 numbers, and their names were different. Names are convenient for concealing identity and other things, and because of the poignant desire to forget everyone's past, we deliberately used what the author created as is... The nationalities and images are similar, well, because Ivan sent them as he saw them, but the subsequent story didn't exist at all. When I saw the manga... I was surprised and it was interesting. In other words, Ivan chose you, among the many comic artists—and there really are a lot of them in Japan—because he predicted that you would create such an interesting hit work.
—And with the money earned, he would accept you all. He would have this kind of villa built...
—Well, I wonder if he calculated that far ahead...
—No, I'm not angry. There's this feeling that we're part of some enormous, far-reaching plan. But as soon as we arrived here, we started sleeping, only waking up for the scheduled milk and diaper changes. There's no time for anything else. And just like that, two years have passed... Two old men are babysitting a sleeping baby, passing the time by discussing occult topics.

>>23731824

—Well, well, don't say that. In this world, peace is the most important thing. Especially since the world we live in, the Earth itself, is showing signs of its death throes.
—Death throes, huh? Yes, that's right. The beginning of the century was only bright for a short time; after that, that end of century mood has continued to linger.
—Ah, ah... no, the conversation has strayed a bit. Now is the time to discuss the Bermuda Triangle. Let's get back to that.
—That's right, the Bermuda Triangle is roughly a triangular area off the east coast of America. It became famous because many aircraft and ships have gone missing there, and the way they disappeared is shrouded in mystery. What really made it famous was the disappearance of five TBM Avenger aircraft that took off from the Fort Lauderdale naval air base for a training exercise. They left behind mysterious communication records saying things like "the sea is strange," "I can't see the sky," "I don't know where I am," and then all five aircraft disappeared. Moreover, the Martin Mariner aircraft that went out on a search mission shortly afterward also disappeared without a trace in a similar manner... There are various theories about the cause of this, including the "buried gas eruption theory," "magnetic anomaly," and "sunken meteorite gravitational pull theory," etc. And one of these theories is the "Atlantis energy theory." It suggests that some kind of enormous force or energy generator that powered Atlantis is still operational, and that it's dragging ships and planes into the sea or perhaps into another dimension. The source of this strange "force" might be located in the "underwater pyramid" that Pyunma is currently exploring... That's the idea.
—Hmm. I'm becoming even more eager to hear Pyunma's report... I hope Pyunma doesn't do anything reckless. That boy sometimes doesn't value his life enough...

>>23731825
anyway, sorry for the dumps, need to find a site to put the html on or someone else to pass this around to who might be able to wrangle it.
I'm told over ten years ago some Italian fans also had the 2ch thread link but acted like they were the exclusive holders of it, and would get hostile when an American fan or two quoted from it and assumed they were stealing their (Italians') research. They insisted on gatekeeping Ishinomori's "secrets" but it's been long enough I think.

>>23731831
and will add that holy shit, Ishinomori infodumps so much in these in his convos with Gilmore even more. There are also plenty more chapter drafts and outlines, I don't envy the job of his son trying to put all this together but there are places he clearly altered chapters that were already fully written or where he had to make shit up. Kazuhiko Shimamoto felt he should be the one to tell the story and it's said he was pretty sore that the son was the one to.

>>23731825
That was a lot.

>>23731825
●Ghosts
—Let's change the subject completely. How about ghosts?
Can't we come up with some other explanation besides ball lightning theory or brain hallucination theory?
—Sho-san. I don't want to hear from a skeptic.
How can you explain something that doesn't even exist, like ghosts?!
—Well, well, don't say that. After all, ghosts are a classic paranormal phenomenon even more well-known than UFOs.
Even if they are "illusions," the number of reports and records of people seeing or encountering them is astonishing. I know some people who have experienced this, but unfortunately—even though I have more people I want to see in the afterlife than in this world, and I'm even hoping for it—I haven't been fortunate enough to have that opportunity yet.
—"Certain forces, such as the manifestation of persistent and personal energy, remain even after death." That's a quote from Frederic W.H. Myers, the founder of the British Society for Psychical Research, isn't it?
—Anger, resentment, and lingering regrets are all forms of energy, aren't they?
—I think the greatest energy that humans manifest is joy.
—That won't work. Joy explodes and dissipates on the spot, scattering everywhere. To affect later times and places, you have to let it simmer and ferment slowly.
—In short... you have to attach the mycelium of stress and let it rot, right?
—Excellent! One point for you!
—Heh heh heh...
—Speaking of which, wasn't Great, the comedian in London who's still trying to become a Shakespearean actor, also a member of the British Society for Psychical Research?
—Was he? Well, England is like the mecca of ghost stories, isn't it? For the sake of status,
That kind of title is probably necessary.
—This is hopeless.

>>23732365
It is, and there's still a lot more. Might as well see about skipping through parts, and put feelers out for anything anyone would like in the thread. 009 ones tend to be slow or dead and didn't want to flood this but here we are.

>>23723675
We'll get the ED.

>>23732374
—Well, when it comes to ghosts, doesn't it all boil down to what W.H. Myers said earlier?
—Dimensional travel, the afterlife, souls—do you know the story of the scientist who supposedly weighed a soul?—Ghosts require a much deeper discussion.
—Well, never mind. We can discuss that again when we talk about near-death experiences, heaven and hell, and those kinds of themes... Let's move on to the next topic.

- cutting the Sho/Gilmore talks here unless anyone wants any of the rest: Superpowers, UMA, Noah's Ark, The Philadelphia Experiment, Poltergeists, Near-death experiences, The Face on Mars, Tunguska Mystery, Vampires, Werewolves, God, Possession, Auras and Ectoplasm, OOParts, Time Slip, Humans

After that is more misc. notes, then let's see:
- Ghost Theater (007) outline, different from Onodera ver.
- Another chapter structure draft
- A scene of Ishinomori and Gilmore talking
- Draft of 002's chapter
- 2 drafts of 005's chapter
- Another draft of 006's
- More drafts of 009's
- More quotations
- An early outline where the plot was meant to be taking place in 1999 instead of 2012, to go with Nostradamus' prophecy, includes more Gilmore and Ishinomori talk drafts along with notes on characters
- More notes for the finalized version

Ishinomori women are high test stacies who will gun you down after blowing loads. Mylene is so high test she drove a black man to suicide. His bad guys are too complex morally
