Attack on Heaven – Return to Heaven (1)

In fact, the animations Ragna had made so far were works with considerable realism in their own way.

If Earth people heard this, they might have scoffed and even foamed at the mouth.

Realistic?

So, a 40-meter-tall mech running like a track athlete causing sonic booms, or.

Works where heroes who died in the past come back to life in reality and wage war for ‘wishes’, how on earth can you find realism in those?

Earth people would have been unable to hide their bewilderment in this way, but.

Surprisingly, by fantasy world standards, Ragna’s animations were considered extremely realistic.

Because the Machine Gods appearing in the work called “Machine God Chronicles” were close to something transcendent that replicated a kind of god called ‘foreign god’ from the beginning, so their mysterious abilities could be accepted, and.

The Book of Life and Death appearing in “Book of Life and Death” was originally not of the human world, but the possession of beings called death gods, so there was nothing to say even if it had effects that went against the laws of physics.

Also, they now knew that in “Sky of Destiny”, according to the setting, heroes of the past being summoned to the present was not a sudden miracle, but the result of some advanced magic being applied.

Especially now that the magic tower had revealed that various magic appearing in “Sky of Destiny” was not simply imagination but something that actually worked, it was even more so.

“My goodness… I thought it was impossible, but is it really possible to borrow even part of the power of heroes who existed in the past?”

“With the power of one magician, only part of a hero’s power can be drawn out, but if mana is accumulated for about 60 years in a specific place, it might be possible to actually summon 7 heroes to the present world!”

“Oh… As expected of Lord Ragna, the top disciple of Lady Aris. How did he see through all these facts and naturally incorporate them into the settings of his animation?”

“It must be innate, of course. Didn’t everything end when Lady Aris proved that the magician’s work ‘thought barrier’ used by the protagonist Yuri in “Sky of Destiny” actually exists?”

In the past, Aris had publicly proved that the magic called ‘thought barrier’ actually exists in front of people who claimed that the animation called “Sky of Destiny” was really nonsensical.

“Lady Aris’s thought barrier… was it called ‘Forest of Creation’? I heard it has truly terrifying power.”

“She was already one of the top magicians in the world, so isn’t it natural now that she’s mastered the magic called thought barrier?”

Not long ago, Aris had used the thought barrier in a friendly match comparing magic with the head of another country’s magic tower and overwhelmingly crushed him.

By the way, other magicians still don’t know exactly what happened in that match.

Just that when Aris used the thought barrier and released it, the opponent was dragged out of the barrier half-dead.

Anyway, this means that the animations Ragna had produced so far were close to documentaries in the eyes of people in the fantasy world.

However, even to these fantasy world people, “Attack on Heaven” was pure science fiction.

Yes, let’s say we can overlook mechs like Crimson Flame since they’ve appeared in works like “Machine God Chronicles”.

But no matter how you think about it, this episode 21 of “Attack on Heaven” crossed the line a little… no, excessively, didn’t it?

It was already beyond common sense for Cyan’s mech, Crimson Flame, which was only 20 meters tall, to fuse with an ark capable of accommodating 200,000 people and become a giant mech, but.

That mech then split the moon in half with the drill in its hand.

This was an absurd thing that went beyond various laws of physics including the law of conservation of mass, and common sense of magic.

“…It doesn’t make sense logically. The power of a mech fused with an ark shouldn’t have enough energy to split a satellite like the moon in half.”

“Is there no possibility that the golden energy Cyan emitted, which was mentioned from the beginning of the work, became some kind of variable?”

“You mean that… golden energy or whatever? If it’s that power that draws out rotation through the principle of the golden ratio, it might have given Cyan tremendous power. But even considering that, it’s clearly impossible to split the moon in half.”

“So, what are you going to do? Are you going to protest? That the development of this work called “Attack on Heaven” is a work lacking plausibility that greatly deviates from the laws of magic in reality?”

At those words uttered by someone, the magicians silently looked at each other’s faces and.

“…..”

“…..”

Quietly shook their heads from side to side.

“No, honestly that’s a bit…”

“Well, isn’t it unavoidable if the plausibility drops a little in an animation?”

The magicians who had been raving about how “Attack on Heaven” lacked plausibility just a moment ago, shut their mouths when someone asked if they were going to protest.

Certainly, from the magicians’ point of view, the animation called “Attack on Heaven” was truly a mess.

Not only ignoring the laws of physics, but also various absurd settings that seemed to directly defy the discipline of magic.

The absurd developments that made one think plausibility and verisimilitude might have been given to dogs, were honestly something that would make magicians who explore various principles of nature foam at the mouth.

But.

“Damn… But what can we do when it’s interesting…”

“Why on earth is this interesting…? Logically, shouldn’t it be uninteresting if the plausibility is shattered?”

“No, honestly speaking, isn’t a man’s burning soul more important than plausibility?”

That’s right.

Although there were countless points of seizure in the work called “Attack on Heaven” for magicians, just the one point of being ‘interesting’ offset all those shortcomings and more.

Guts and passion.

And strangely, at the moment of watching this anime imbued with the burning soul of a man who breaks through everything blocking his path and even surpasses his own limits with just spirit alone, useless things like laws of physics or magic didn’t come to mind at all.

Just clenching one’s fists, following the hot-blooded actions of the protagonist Cyan, one could find that 30 minutes of time had been devoured before they knew it.

And as if representing the hearts of the magicians, “Attack on Heaven” was continuing an extremely manly course after episode 21, throwing away depressing developments.

“We’ve overcome any desperate situation. That’s why I’m… here. And that’s what you wanted too, right, Ren?”

“…You’re wrong. That’s just a fictitious past. The real me is just your enemy.”

“Then why are you still wearing that ring?”

“…Ugh.”

“So don’t worry. I will definitely save you.”

“…Will you really come to get me?”

“Then who do you think I am?”

“…I’ll be waiting, Cyan.”

“Forever and ever.”

In the following episode 22, Ren, who had been strongly brainwashed by the mastermind for unknown reasons, regains her senses.

The reason was unknown.

If we had to give a reason, it would be because of Cyan’s ‘sincerity’ and ‘power of love’, but does that kind of thing matter?

The only important thing is one.

That Cyan has decided to go get his woman back.

In front of such an important fact, are trivial things like brainwashing or the limits of human mental strength important?

“Grrr, this is it! This is the taste we watch the anime called “Attack on Heaven” for!”

“At the beginning of Part 2, the anime was so frustrating I thought I’d go crazy, but now it’s so refreshing!”

“Especially in Part 2, Kiba, that guy is the most likable! I might have dropped out long ago if it weren’t for Kiba, I tell you!”

Kiba.

The man who was the only one to take Cyan’s side when almost everyone, including Lucian, slandered Cyan and treated him rudely in Part 2.

In fact, Kiba was a supporting character with considerable weight even in Part 1, but.

In Part 2, he became a perfectly likable character, perfectly succeeding Credo.

“He has loyalty, ability, actually at this level he’s not lacking to succeed Credo.”

“Tsk, if his eye for women was better, he would have been a truly perfect character.”

Kiba’s fans, who rapidly multiplied in Part 2, clicked their tongues at the inexplicable regret they felt.

Because there was an ominous atmosphere flowing between Yuna, who had a history of having a fling with… no, even kissing Credo in Part 1, and Kiba.

Naturally, Kiba’s fans couldn’t like such a Yuna.

“No, didn’t Yuna like Credo so much in Part 1, has she already forgotten everything?”

“Honestly, if Yuna hadn’t just kissed Credo in episode 8, wouldn’t Credo not have died? That woman’s lips are no different from a death god’s Book of Life and Death, I tell you?”

Kiba’s fans uttered such complaints due to the inexplicable dissatisfaction they felt, but.

Honestly speaking, Yuna was one of the most popular characters in the work called “Attack on Heaven”, and.

Therefore, rebuttals to such complaints also poured out instantly.

“No, 7 years have passed since Credo died in Part 1, how long should she cling to a dead person?”

“That’s right. Yuna has her own life, and it’s her freedom to love whoever she wants, isn’t it? And since Kiba has become incomparably cooler than in Part 1, it doesn’t seem strange for them to fall in love anew, does it?”

Just as fans were engaged in a civil war, divided into two over the issue of Kiba and Yuna’s love front.

“…Sorry, this is my will too.”

“…Ah.”

Making the song debate unfolding among fans pale in comparison, Kiba confessed his love to Yuna, and.

“It’s okay. If that’s your heart, there’s nothing I can do…”

Yuna responded to Kiba’s heart.

“So, you have to come back alive, okay?”

She presses her lips to his.

And.

“…..”

“…..”

At that moment, viewers watching “Attack on Heaven” froze while watching Yuna’s kiss scene.

Because apart from whether those two matched well or not.

In the past, they had seen a similar scene before Credo died in episode 9 of “Attack on Heaven”.

…Is it just me who has a bad feeling about this?
