Chapter 353 You call this compassion?
The camera switched from a wide shot to a close-up.
Golden light, warm light.
Like the first ray of dawn breaking over the horizon before sunrise.
It instantly dispelled the gloom and smoke of the battlefield.
A rainbow-colored lotus suddenly bloomed in the void, and a giant hand emerged from the radiance.
The giant of light descended with a thunderous roar amidst a dazzling pillar of light!
He stands tall on the earth, his azure body reflecting a reassuring glow in the sunlight.
Ultraman Cosmos has finally revealed his true form on Earth!
[Holy crap! What a stunning entrance!]
[Bandai, the evil conglomerate, seems to have really pulled off the special effects used to rip us off.]
[With this lighting, the leather case design looks very elegant.]
Personally, I still think Ultraman Tiga's suit is the coolest!
【+1】
This Ultraman really gives off a "I don't want to hit you" vibe.
[This guy seems pretty kind, that's right... kind, the honest guy ended up fighting!]
[Huh? That reporter broadcasting the news! It's Furuhashi!]
[Wow, it really is! Is it a cameo?]
[Wow! Light Chaser Animation Studios has brought in veteran tokusatsu actors again?!]
However, the real battle did not immediately break out on the ground.
The two sides communicated in the air at a frequency of 1420 MHz, with Gauss demanding that Baltan return to his planet immediately.
But at this moment, Baltan will not listen to Ultraman's request; they are preparing to seize Earth!
Facing Gauss, the Baltan alien fired two beams of light, then flapped its wings and soared into the sky, luring Gauss into its spaceship.
The "Noah's Ark," which resembles a giant meteorite, was transformed from the remaining remnants of Baltan's home planet and exudes a heavy wasteland atmosphere.
Without the slightest hesitation, Gauss transformed into a streak of azure light and rushed into the spaceship.
Inside the dimly lit spaceship, a battle erupted instantly!
The Baltan aliens, having gained home-field advantage, plunged their pincers into the ground, instantly summoning countless gleaming daggers that rained down on Gauss like a storm!
[666, the European and American style of play!]
Holy crap! The wasteland vibe inside this spaceship is so cool!
[Just for this little scene, they made such a big set?!]
[The spotlight is getting richer and richer!]
[They just appeared and immediately unleashed a "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" attack?! Is this some kind of bullet hell game?!]
Faced with the impenetrable array of sharp blades, Gauss remained calm, his azure body suddenly spinning rapidly in mid-air!
With a magical move, the Ultra Spinning Top instantly shattered the incoming array of sharp blades!
Seeing that Gauss had neutralized his attack, Baltan did not hesitate.
Immediately afterwards, the Baltan alien closed its pincers and fired a deadly destructive beam.
Gauss charged straight up into the beam of light, slashing out with his hand, creating dazzling sparks all the way through, and forcefully splitting the beam in the middle, delivering an extremely amazing performance!
[Fully activated gyroscope?]
【The Perfect Ultra Spiral!】
[Slicing through light with a hand chop?! This guy is definitely not as easy to mess with as he looks!]
【What? You're telling me this is compassion?】
[Goodness, what's wrong with Gauss's fighting style?]
[Crackling sparks accompanied by lightning]
Seeing that things were not going well, and knowing that they would not gain any advantage inside the spaceship, the Baltan aliens immediately turned around and rushed out of the spaceship, shifting the battlefield back to the miniature city on the ground.
Gauss followed closely behind, using the "White Crane Spreads Wings" move to deflect the force!
Then it landed smoothly on the ground like a light feather.
On the battlefield, the Baltan alien looked at the giant blocking his way and, without the slightest hesitation, swung his huge pincers!
Its massive body, accompanied by a violent surge of air, charged straight toward Gauss!
The sharp right pincer, accompanied by a piercing shriek that seemed to tear through the air, slammed down hard on Gauss's head.
The battle erupted instantly!
However, facing this powerful blow, Gauss slightly turned his body and glided backward with light steps.
"Whoosh!"
The Baltan alien's giant pincers grazed Gauss's chest and missed.
Immediately afterwards, Gauss drew an incredibly smooth arc in front of him with both hands, like the cloud hands in Tai Chi, and precisely placed them on the Baltan alien's wrist.
He followed the force of the monster's attack, not only not resisting, but also using the force against it, pulling it backward with a backhand motion.
The Baltan alien's massive body instantly lost its balance, falling uncontrollably forward and crashing heavily onto the open ground.
[Starting with Tai Chi?!]
[A masterful feat! Monster: I was careless and failed to dodge!]
[They've mastered the art of using someone else's strength against them so skillfully.]
This strategy focuses on defense and containment.
The Baltan alien angrily got up from the ground.
It was completely enraged. Its pincers snapped open, and several powerful destructive beams of light poured out like a storm!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Gauss moved with agility, as if dancing on the tip of a knife.
He performed several incredibly graceful backflips, dodging all the light bullets.
Then, Gauss quickly crossed his hands in front of his chest, creating an energy barrier that glowed with a soft blue light, blocking all the remaining light projectiles.
Seeing that the ranged attack was ineffective, the Baltan aliens roared and pounced again.
But Gauss handled each situation with ease.
He moved like a bird spreading its wings at times, and like a white crane spreading its wings at others. Every move he made perfectly neutralized the enemy's offensive, yet he never caused any real damage to the Baltan aliens.
[His physique, honed to resemble that of a crane, was achieved through rigorous training.]
[Was that the old Taoist priest from the Ming Dynasty?!]
This battle looks so fluid and beautiful; it showcases the pinnacle of martial arts from our Great Xia Dynasty!
[It is indeed smooth, but don't you think Gauss's playstyle is a bit strange?]
The Art of Extraterrestrials
[May your ambitions soar!]
Although it doesn't cause much harm, it's extremely humiliating; even the monster can't touch it.
This monster is on a completely different level from Gauss. It's clear that Gauss didn't intend to kill it, otherwise this monster would have been G in no time.
[The control over strength is impeccable; it's clear they're holding back, intending to subdue their opponent gently by wearing them down.]
But this monster clearly doesn't want to negotiate; the more they fight, the more aggressive they become.
[Hurry up and fight! I want to see a great fight!]
As expected, the Baltan alien, whose attacks had repeatedly failed, had its red light in its compound eyes turn completely into a tyrannical blood-red.
It knew that in this form, it was no match for the giant of light before it.
"Sizzle—!"
A teeth-grinding tearing sound rang out.
To the astonishment of all the spectators, the Baltan alien's already ferocious body began to undergo an extremely terrifying transformation!
It shed its original outer shell, its entire body expanded, and its armor became thicker and sharper.
What's most terrifying is its pair of pincers.
His right hand transformed into a massive, gleaming sword, while his left hand became a dark, heavy energy cannon!
evolution!
The second phase of the ferocious Baltan aliens!
[My God! A big sword in the right hand and a cannon in the left? Is this a ninja or a Terminator?!]
[666! It's obvious that Chasing Light is getting richer and richer; he already has two suits on his very first monster in Sinnoh!]
The oppressive atmosphere instantly intensified; Baltan was going all out!
[Ascertained as impotent rage]
[A perfect blend of cold weapons and firearms, this design is so cool!]
[Chaebol B: Aren't you cool! SHF is coming out tomorrow, get ready to dominate the market!]
[Can Gauss still use Tai Chi to parry this? If he takes a single blow, his hand will probably be broken!]
Here, facing Gauss, who was stronger than him, he did not choose to compromise, but instead chose to molt and evolve!
The ferocious Neo-Baltans have arrived!
This means that the original order has been completely broken!
At this moment, Gu Nan, far away in the office of Chasing Light Pictures, was watching the live comments on the screen with a satisfied smile on his lips.
This is the effect he wanted.
Just like the name of Ultraman Cosmos in this series...
The name Gauss, Cosmos, in English not only means the universe, but also specifically refers to an "ordered universe".
Gauss represents order. As long as the order is not disrupted, Gauss has no reason to engage in destructive interference.
At this moment, Gu Nan was sitting on the sofa in his office, watching the broadcast on the screen, and took a sip of tea.
His attention wasn't on the teasing comments in the live chat, but rather on Gauss's upcoming action sequences.
In his past life memories, Gauss's action scenes were always a controversial topic.
To highlight the themes of "compassion" and "non-killing," the fight scenes in Gauss's Luna form heavily borrowed elements from Tai Chi, such as exaggerated dodging, the "pushing hand" action after blocking, and taut palms.
The Corona Form incorporates the style of Hung Kuen, using a lot of horse stance, empty stance and bow stance.
These traditional martial arts elements, taken individually, exude the style of a martial arts master.
The problem is that the pace of special effects action scenes is often very fast.
Originally, the lower body movements of the costume actors were mainly horse stance and false stance, which was fine in the slow-paced martial arts performance.
However, when Gauss frequently changes his stance to match the fast-paced close combat, or makes a knee-raising motion at an inappropriate time, it will lead to instability of the center of gravity and many flaws in his movements.
Gu Nan recalled his past life. Due to the unique setting of the Moon Goddess form, he had to fight but could not fight. In order to express the combat intention of "gentle purification", he could only borrow the popular impression of Tai Chi.
However, using this Tai Chi style to cater to conventional action movie concepts is like adding seafood seasoning to a pig's trotter soup, resulting in an extremely bizarre taste. As a result, there are often twisting and turning footwork, making the fight resemble a duet.
This is like using a business laptop that sacrifices performance for battery life to force a complex special effects project to be rendered. It's clearly not capable of handling it, but you still have to force it, so the viewing experience is naturally greatly reduced.
To avoid such action mishaps, Gu Nan held a three-day meeting with the martial arts director and suit actors before filming to explain his understanding of action scenes.
Therefore, Gauss, as photographed by the spotlight, completely abandons the unreasonable footwork that was forcibly added in order to "look like martial arts".
He required the actors to maintain absolute stability in their lower body while in Luna form.
Dodging and pushing no longer rely on cumbersome footwork switching, but rather on the flexibility of the upper body and precise camera movement to show the ease of "using four ounces to move a thousand pounds".
By eliminating the unnecessary knee-raising movements that could cause the center of gravity to sway, Gauss's every block appears smooth and flawless.
In authentic Tai Chi, the hand shape should be relaxed with slightly bent fingers, changing naturally with the body's movements like flowing water.
Instead of being as independent of arm movements and stiff and rigid as in the original version, as if it had lost other alternative hand shapes.
"If we're going to make a film, we have to truly incorporate the essence of martial arts into it."
Gu Nan demanded that the core of the movement must be to use the opponent's force against them, rather than drawing circles meaninglessly in place.
On a deeper level, Gu Nan imbued Gauss's action scenes with a core concept—"martial arts".
The purpose of martial arts is to stop violence, not to create it.
He wanted to convey that a true martial artist should not only hone their physical skills.
We should cultivate a gentle yet strong heart to harness and control power, rather than be consumed by it.
Strong power is only a guarantee when conflict is unavoidable.
The following plot will perfectly showcase Gu Nan's hard work.
