034 Criticism and controversy

Ryuzo Toshima thought for a long time and finally found a countermeasure.

"Chinese people pay attention to it and use their own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. Now, my biggest advantage among the twenty participating cartoonists is that as a popular serial cartoonist in JUMP, I have the most fans of my works. If I use "Thunder Swordsman" as a gimmick, I will definitely be able to trample Qin Han under my feet!"

The more Ryuzo Toshima thought about it, the more he thought it was a wonderful idea. Moreover, he could also take advantage of this painting competition to promote his comics, which was a killing two birds with one stone.

So he posted a tweet: "The content of this painting competition has been confirmed. I will create the finale of "Thunder Swordsman" on the spot! Of course, is this finale true or false, or a story that takes place in a parallel world? Everything is understood by readers."

Putting down his phone, Toshima Ryusan smiled proudly, as if he was sure to win.

As Ryuzo Toshima expected, this Twitter first sparked heated discussions among the fan group and spread rapidly, and then learned by passers-by, eventually becoming a hot news on the Internet, even catching up with the ink-style comics released by Qin Han.

A popular comic serialized on JUMP, whose author suddenly announced that he would create a finale in non-magazine channels! What an amazing move!

Just imagine, if Oda Eiichiro suddenly announced that the finale would be released when "One Piece" is still serialized, it would be strange if readers are not crazy.

Even if Ryu Toshima left room in the three episodes, he did not say that the finale was true, but a story that might happen in a parallel world, but it could not stop the fanaticism of fans.

Even shortly after he posted a tweet, the JUMP editorial department called to inquire about this matter.

The fan group of "Thunder Swordsman" is either happy or hotly discussed because of Ryuzo Toshima's Twitter, which is like a festival.

But fans of other participating cartoonists are not very happy.

What if you agree to be upright and use your painting skills to decide the outcome?

Isn’t Toshima Ryuzo’s behavior so cruel to rely on his original works to overwhelm people?

Most of the cartoonists participating in the competition are young and promising, and are just emerging. However, many of their creative fields are young niche comics, and they cannot compete with the fan group with cartoonists in national magazines like JUMP.

Many of these cartoonists' fans think that Ryuzo Toshima is cheating and playing dirty tricks, and they criticize them one after another.

"As a well-known cartoonist, Toshima Ryuzo uses this method and wants to transfer the popularity of his works to the painting competition and win the championship. It's so despicable!"

"We must play a fair game based on our strength to decide the outcome, rather than relying on being clever and using external advantages. Otherwise, what's the point?"

"This is a major event that is to be used as a material for NHK documentary and also linked to the entire Olympic promotion strategy! These small means are absolutely not allowed."

"Ryuzo Toshima is really embarrassing. Please withdraw from the competition!"

Toshima Ryuzo had a large number of fans and a relatively low age group. He immediately flocked to attack critics.

"What stupid things are you saying? Popularity is also part of your strength!"

"Teacher Toshima did not violate the competition rules, your accusations were just simple jealousy."

"It's right. Otherwise, why would the competition held by the Culture Department be an invitation system rather than a national selection?"

"You are just jealous of Toshima Teacher. After all, not all comics can be serialized on JUMP. Others participating in the competition, how much more than Mr. Toshima's sales are, haha!"

"It's just a group of jealous villains. When Teacher Toyoshima wins the first place and shows up at NHK, you can go to the bathroom to cry."

For a time, on forums such as Twitter and 2CH, there was a smoky situation.

"As the most famous of the twenty participating cartoonists, Toshima Ryuzo is still going to take such disgraceful measures in the end. I saw that he saw the old Qin teacher's picture of Kanasuke Yamamoto, and was scared!"

An ID signed by "Okinawa Yuanqi Niang" posted a tweet, which immediately involved Qin Han.

Fortunately, Qin Han fans are either busy licking Xiaoai or Saber and Rin Tosaka, or are still discussing the use of ink painting techniques in comics, and they don’t have time to pay attention to the fans of Toshima Ryuki who bit people everywhere like a mad dog.

"Really, that Toshima is just cheating and cheating! Too much!"

Yui Aragaki put down her cell phone, her cute face full of indignation.

Qin Han knocked on the girl's head and said angrily: "I told you not to worry about this matter, why do you still open a small account to post tweets? In this painting competition, it is useless to talk with the pen in your hand and do those evil ways."

"Brother Qin, it's not worth it for you." The girl said a little dissatisfied.

She is the "Okinawan Funny Girl".

Yui Aragaki’s Twitter firm is strictly managed by the firm, and of course he cannot send messages casually, so he registered a small account.

However, although she is from Okinawa, she has a very calm personality on weekdays. She is a little otakus and has no connection with "reality" or something.

Today is a rare day off without work. She is not as easy to go out and is also here at Qin Han’s house.

"Forget it, I won't talk about this. Brother Qin, what do you want to eat at noon? I'll make it for you."

"I want to eat meat."

"Well, okay, just choose hamburger meat and potato salad!"

After saying that, the girl got up from the sofa and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Because I heard that Qin Han's hand was injured, Yui Aragaki came early this morning. Not only did she buy large bags of food, but she immediately started cleaning after she got home, allowing Qin Han to enjoy a lazy and depraved life.

While the girl was busy in the kitchen, Qin Han came to her studio and began to prepare for recording painting videos.

Although I didn't care about the tricks Ryuzo Toshima played, it did not mean that Qin Han could do nothing.

We should despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically.

Although he was very confident in his ink style comics, Qin Han didn't mind and took more methods to ensure that he won the championship in the competition.

Not only did he do his best in the content of his paintings, but the painting process also made people shine and praise them.

Qin Han took out the large-sized mulberry paper specially bought from World Hall, which was two meters high and one meter five meters wide.

Move the table and chairs to make room, then fix the paper on a special drawing board, and finally stand up and lean against the wall. The whole process will take a lot of physical strength, not to mention that Qin Han still has injuries on one hand.

But it's all worth it.

Although the selection of the painting competition focuses on the final painting, the video presenting the entire painting process is also an indispensable part.

When it comes to visual impact, sitting in front of the workbench and painting on a small A4 manuscript paper is of course far less than a large painting of this size.

Qin Han finished the preparations and wiped his sweat, and suddenly heard the doorbell ringing.
