Chapter 212 Dyna
"Fellow viewers..."
Old Tang sniffed, his vision already blurred.
As he watched the images flashing across the screen, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him: a feeling of "unresolved resentment" coupled with a sense of "it's only right."
"Now I finally understand why this episode is called 'Flying Towards Tomorrow'."
As he wiped away his tears, Lao Tang spoke into the microphone, sharing his most genuine feelings at that moment.
"Before today, I thought that the ending of Ultraman Tiga was the pinnacle of tokusatsu dramas. Humans becoming light and defeating darkness together was the ultimate in romance and unity."
"However, in 'Dyna,' Gu Laozei gave us a completely different, even more cruel, but also more magnificent answer."
The number of comments in the live stream gradually decreased, and everyone listened quietly to Lao Tang's outpouring.
Old Tang took a deep breath and continued, "Tiga's ending is a perfect one because Daigo's mission was completed. He returned to his human identity and embraced ordinary happiness. But Asuka is different."
"Asuka's character was designed from the beginning to be a 'street hustler,' a reckless and unruly young man who loved freedom. If he really defeated Scia, turned back into his human form, married Ryo, had children, and lived a peaceful life on Earth... that would indeed be perfect, but does that really fit Asuka's personality?"
Old Tang's words startled many viewers who were immersed in grief.
"The screenwriter used a full fifty-one episodes to lay the groundwork and teach us a lesson: the hymn of humanity is the hymn of moving forward!"
"Kazuma Asuka told Asuka not to stop. So, when Asuka faced that black hole that could devour even light, he didn't choose to retreat; he chose to surpass it!"
"He didn't die. He simply left himself forever in that abyss that devours everything, to protect everyone and to fulfill his unwavering spirit of exploration."
Old Tang's voice grew increasingly excited, even tinged with awe. "Just like Daigo-senpai's smile just now. Asuka has completed his transformation. He is no longer confined to one Earth, one solar system. He has become a true cosmic traveler, carrying humanity's will to 'fly forward,' reaching heights we can never attain!"
"This may be the most unsatisfying tragedy in the Ultraman series, but for a free-spirited man like Asuka, it is undoubtedly his most romantic ending!"
Old Tang's words were like a wake-up call, instantly igniting the emotions of everyone in the live stream.
[Waaaaah, it's finished! Hooray! But I still can't get over it!]
[That's brilliant! Old Tang, your understanding is practically at the atmospheric level!]
[So that's how it is... Asuka didn't sacrifice himself; he went to explore a truly 'new frontier'!]
Yes, keeping him put on Earth would actually make him no longer the single-celled organism we know.
What is true love? What is true justice? Dyna showed us through his actions!
This is the growth of humanity itself! From needing to be saved by light in Ultraman Tiga, to humanity facing black holes on its own in Dyna. The Super GUTS team didn't stop; they too went after the light!
[Gu Laozei... I can only admire the plot you wrote! I'm completely convinced!]
The image on the screen finally froze.
As the last note of the ending theme song "I Just Want to Protect You" faded, the image of a young bird appeared on screen, struggling to throw a baseball in the sunset.
"I am who I am!"
The boy's clear and stubborn shout echoed in the silent universe.
Immediately afterwards, several large characters slowly appeared on the frozen screen:
Looking towards tomorrow...
End.
Old Tang sat in the gaming chair, motionless for a long time.
He only breathed a sigh of relief when the countdown for the automatic redirection to the official live stream started.
"Brothers."
Looking at the screen filled with "[The End]" and "[Tears in My Eyes]", Old Tang finally smiled with relief. "Dyna's story ends here. Although we didn't get to see Asuka and Ryo's happy ending, and although the ending had a heart-stopping effect... this is definitely the most shocking and romantic sci-fi tokusatsu ending I've ever seen."
"Heroes may disappear, but the hope they bring will forever illuminate the living. This is the meaning of Giants of Light, this is what tokusatsu teaches us. As long as we believe in tomorrow, the bird will forever soar in the light!"
This night was destined to be a sleepless one for countless tokusatsu fans.
Almost immediately after the final episode of "Ultraman Dyna" aired, major social media platforms, forums, and online communities were completely paralyzed and filled with celebration.
At this moment, the fact that "Ultraman" has become the top trend in China is completely tangible!
This is a height that is simply unattainable in Gu Nanyuan's world.
Eight out of the top ten trending topics were related to "Dyna".
#BirdsTurningIntoLight#
#Dyna's finale made me cry#
#SuperVictoryTeamChasingStars#
#The oppressive feeling of Gulansfia#
#Daigo's Smile#
#There's a kind of romance called a messenger bird#
Countless film critics and content creators stayed up late into the night, frantically typing away on their keyboards, trying to express their overwhelming excitement and awe through words.
In a certain tokusatsu (special effects) group, things completely exploded.
"Brothers! I can't take it anymore! I've cried all my tears tonight! Who wrote this ending?! Was it that old scoundrel Gu Nan who wrote it himself? Come out and take your punishment, old scoundrel, and I'll bow to you!"
"Absolutely amazing! The visual presentation is incredible! Did you guys notice the details of the planets being restored at the end? The lighting and shadow effects are top-notch; this is like they used a movie-level budget for the final episode of the TV series!"
"I originally thought this would be a simple clash between good and evil, but I never expected it to escalate to the philosophical level of existentialism and the evolution of life! Sphia represents the perfect death without contradictions, while humanity represents life full of contradictions yet infinite possibilities!"
"My heart aches for Ryo! Hearing him say 'Asuka, you're a liar' really broke my heart."
"Don't be sad! Didn't you guys see the hint in the post-credits scene? The captain said he was going to chase after him! This means that as long as human technology continues to advance, one day, the Super GUTS team will encounter that dazzling red, blue, and silver giant again somewhere in the universe!"
"That's right! Asuka's a street urchin; he's definitely been visiting other parallel universes!"
"Exactly! Gu Nan definitely won't let go of such a popular character! Maybe he'll make a cool cameo appearance in one of his future dramas!"
At this moment.
Gu Nan was sitting in front of the computer in his studio.
Outside the window, night had fallen, but the city's neon lights still shone brightly.
He watched the constantly fluctuating backend data on the screen. The number of views, bullet comments, and discussions surrounding the finale of "Ultraman Dyna" were skyrocketing at a terrifying exponential rate.
This ending perfectly replicates the original's poignant yet masterpiece-worthy finale, and even surpasses it in terms of special effects and emotional build-up, thanks to ample funding and optimized editing.
Gu Nan picked up the coffee on the table, took a small sip, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"The bird's journey has only just begun," he murmured to himself.
Yes, in this parallel world where Tsuburaya Productions has closed down and there are no more Ultraman works, he did more than just bring Dyna to the audience. He was using his works to weave a huge dream that connects countless universes for the people of this world.
Ultraman Tiga gave people light, while Ultraman Dyna gave people the courage to keep moving forward.
So what's the next step?
Gu Nan tapped a few times on the keyboard and opened an encrypted folder.
He knew that while people were still lamenting the departure of the birds, a new storm, grander and more awe-inspiring, exploring the conflict between the will of the earth and humanity, was already brewing in his mind.
A new era, a new Ultraman, is about to unleash the most deafening battle cry in this world illuminated by light.
And tonight, let the lingering charm of Dyna linger a little longer in this sea of stars.
