The ruler of “Hypnosis Mic” – the coolness of the “Language Party” in the Middle Ages and the presence of the pure and slender
Welcome back to the I Am Anime website
- In anime and manga, the popularity and topic of characters tend to be biased towards the main character’s side and heroes. However, the fact that “light” appears bright and bright is the existence of “shadows.”
Focus on enemy characters“An enemy character story – Where is their aesthetic?”The 55th installment is Hypnosis Microphone – Division Rap Battle.Middle District/Gonnoha PartyWe’ll take a closer look at the charm of this.
The unique worldview of Hypnosis Mic is that it fights with words instead of weapons and force. Men are fighting for territory by hitting the lyric with a microphone in hand, but the fact that it is women who control this world, also makes this work unique. That’s an element.
He rose to free society from the violence of menWomen’s political party: “The Word Party”the three who reign at the top of thisOriental Tianyi women(Touhouten Otome),Discovery from the small road fig(Figs)Green coffin(Aohitsugi Nemu) is the antagonist in this film and is the man who should be defeated.
Having men compete in a world dominated by women is a worldview that looks like a real worldview, but this is one of the important elements that make this work interesting.
■Things irradiated by female dominant structures.
In the real world, most of the dominant positions, such as politicians and corporate leaders, are occupied by men. As a result, women are often placed in an objective position. It is about 40 years since the Equal Employment Opportunity Act was enacted in 1985, but equality between men and women is not easily achieved.
Even in the world of “Hypnosis Mic”, men once ruled the world, but the Word Party rebelled against such a society and successfully entered into a coup. They reform various systems that should create a society that is dominant to women, distribute special microphones called “Hypnosis Microphones” that interfere with the spirit of others, and host division rap battles that force men to compete. .
This is a system in which men fight over territory, but by making men fight, it also means distracting hostility towards the Word Party. The way the ruling class makes people in servile positions compete with each other is a common practice in strengthening domination. The scariest thing for the ruler is that people in slavery unite and come up with each other. It’s easier to control if they are divided.
Recently, division has become an issue all over the world, and there have been an increasing number of cases in which authoritarian leaders take the top of the country, but the theory of division has truly led to the rise of the public by dividing the public and diverting hostility. The tactics of the Word Party are similar to those.
Touhou Ten Ototo Me and Kankai Yukoji Mukaga each have a past that motivated them to overthrow male society, and acts under their beliefs. Their existence, which can be said to be characters who carry the pain of women in a male-dominated society, gives depth to the work “Hypnosis Mic.” Furthermore, by not simply portraying them as justice, they are both pure and unpleasant, it also emphasizes the heroic side of the male characters who stand up to the ruler.
■ Standing with a dignified outing
It is also worth noting that the Kotonoha Party wears military uniforms. Military uniforms are naturally a symbol of military affairs and give a powerful impression. Her intimidating appearance can be said to embody a woman who is not controlled by men. Their strength is reflected in the songs they sing. The series is lined with punchy phrases such as “You guys who will give you sound and words to them” and “Wash your neck well.” His performance is also full of dignity that gives off a sense of his status as a ruler.
On the other hand, the things that we have to think about in terms of military uniforms are military information warfare and propaganda. Propaganda is a common occurrence in war, and it is carried out through all kinds of expressions, including words, sounds, and images. Or even the clothes you wear can act as propaganda.
There’s a film called “The Little Dictator.” Based on a true story, the film depicts a certain deserter discovers a Nazi captain’s uniform along the way, and when he wears it to warm up, another deserter mistakes him for a real Nazi captain, and he takes on a taste of it. The story involves forming his own guard and working on an incredible killing in the camp.
The film gives important insight into the image that military uniforms give to people. The man who was a deserter was an insignificant, ordinary young man, but his uniform turned him into a terrifying high-ranking Nazi official. People can sometimes succumb to someone just by military uniforms.
The uniforms of the Word Party are also full of dignity and cool. Its coolness may be a propaganda tool for the ruler. This is how they are producing power in many ways and “brainwashing” them to make people follow. Furthermore, since the “hypnosis microphone” directly affects the mind, it can actually be used as a brainwashing device.
■The majestic and coolness of the movie
The currently-released film Hypnosis Mic – Division Rap Battle- is set in which six teams compete and the winning team fights against the Word Party, which governs the Middle Ages. In this film, the outcome of the winners and losses changes depending on the audience’s voting system, so there is also a story about how they win. It has also been declared that this will be the final division rap battle, and the team that will hold this country in a rap battle will be decided with a fair and brave attitude.
Even in the film, the rapping of the Word Party is cool. I watched this film at a preview screening for the media, but I couldn’t help but vote. As a ruler with a fair and brave attitude, he was dignified to see men taking on challenges without any tiny crafts during this rap battle. It was impressive to see the men who lost also compete with a fair and brave battle and lose, and they showed a refreshing expression when they said they would win the next time.
Not only is the word party, but he is also a contradiction as a ruler. In the second season of the TV anime, the story depicts a man dealing with the scandals caused by his subordinates, and there are various distortions.
The fact that the ruler can’t do justice alone is a harsh perspective, which makes the Word Party a unique enemy. What’s interesting about this work is that it also serves as a way to repay the real-life, male-centric society. Manga artist Araki Hirohiko said that the philosophy of the work is the only place in the villains, but it can be said that the Kotoba Party embodies the philosophy of “Hypnosis Mic.”
