Lecture 5 continued

Extraordinary ability to materialize concepts
A technic that phenomenalizes fictional existences

Kikuchihara is covering up the crime scene.
“Please report the incident as a robbery-murder to the surrounding residents.”
When Meteora asked for covering up at the council, they declined her request. But actually, they do practice cover-ups. This is the way of the government.
“The last person who left the bookstore was a schoolgirl. Her school uniform was black instead of navy. She had black leather gloves and a Shimenawa Shinto rope decoration. According to witness, it looked like a costume.”
Meteora judges her personality. “A villain character. She must be that type of character. She’s definitely a Creation.”
Selesia comes to the site. But Kanoya had declined to come. Meteora says, “He was forced to fight battles he didn’t want to. I think he must have been very stressed.”
Rui Kanoya is picking girls at that time. But his activities are watched.
Meteora says, “We have someone keeping guard over him. Let him do whatever he wants for now.”

The extraordinary girl shows up in front of Alicetaria and Mamika.
“How grandiose. A knight on a white horse and a magical girl?”
Mamika accosts to her, “I know this is sudden, but can you use your powers to help us?”

“We’re working together to try to return to our own worlds. I mean that’s not the only thing we’re trying to do. That’s why we’ve gathered. This world is the world of the gods who created us.
We’re trying to find those gods and get them to help us and…”

creation: the act of creating=“Sozo”, the things created=“Hizobutsu”

As there are different structures in languages, so there are differing background conditions that construct each fictional world.

The deviations manifested in each fictional entity interfere in the real world.
Differences in the attitude of acceptance of one’s own world and of the world of those who created it. Actual reactions of each fictional characters are depicted in this anime.

“You might not believe me yet…”
“Of course I do. I believe you. I believe you. I’ll believe you.”
The girl readily accepts all Mamika told.
“This world is a good world, isn’t it, Magic Girl? I see.”
The girl accepts everything and is very glad of being manifested in this world without any hesitation or resentment.
What is the personality setting of this girl? How will her character descriptions be?
If there are similar personalities, please report them.

The feeling that converts all stimuli into joy and pleasure.
It’s a mental function that is often held to offset the squeak of the heart.
In the case of this character?

“Gods. That sounds like a lot of hun.”
But Alicetaria bears a strong antipathy against her.
“I do not like it. You smell of blood… You have a murderous aura about you. Your lies are like poison.”
Alicetaria says to Mamka, “Mamika, she’s not a good person like what you were hoping for.”
“If you’re doing something fun, I wouldn’t mind helping you out.”
“Silence! You are the type of person who cares nothing for anyone else. Even for creating a disturbance in the age of the gods, I do not want to ally with a criminal like you! I swear, by my dignity as an upholder of justice, this is absurd!”
The girl answers, “Oh, Ms. Knight. You say I don’t care about anyone else.”
The phrase “Ms. Knight” bears a compound perspective in English usage.

The broad perspective implied by the two words “Ms. Knight”, which is extravagant in real usage.
Large divergence is joined by this phrase. This mechanism is introduced as its main axis in this anime.

“Oh, Ms. Knight. You say I don’t care about anyone else. You have no right to say that about me. That’s what I think…. People who do that are people who don’t care about anyone else. And what are you doing holding the spear like that? …But whether it’s for justice or it’s for fun, killing is still killing. Which part do you think is wrong? Killing someone? Or the reason was wrong?”
The girl skillfully draws Alicetaria into an eerie dialogue.
Ethical issues, which is good and which is evil, act of actual murder, or the intention?

This theme was interestingly developed in the anime PSYCO-PASS, introducing a setting where criminals are judged by their latent possibility of committing a crime.

“So then what is your fair guideline for deciding what is just? Could it be, could it be? Do you decide based on whatever you feel like? If it’s based on whatever you feel like, how is that different from ‘for fun’.”

Principles of chivalry, on Justice and Fairness are questioned.
What is the principle of action of the strange girl?
How the voice actress plays the role of this peculiar character?
“I wouldn’t mind fighting you, but you wouldn’t be able to win against me!”
Through dialogue and particular speech, by specific propositions and assumptions, the girl draws Alicetaria into her own field.
