Study of Re:CREATORS 28: Lecture 6 continued

Lecture 6 continued

Meteora sums the argument up.
“Just now as Kikuchihara said that the two of them are separate people. Although they do share a common base, Megalosphere, the traits that define them as characters, their personalities and goals, have diverged, and Altair is very different from Shirotsumekusa, an icon with no backbone. I think this change caused the worlds to separate. That new world gained the recognition of others, and Altair’s world was established as a completely independent world.”

It was one of the main subjects considered in the course Culture Today.

It is possible to extend the judgment of identity to include cases of personality falling to the dark side, inverted representation of an identity, and partial replacement of components of a personality. I searched for examples of the manifestation of such phenomena in Culture Today.

“Then who is Altair’s direct creator?”
“I guess this is it. This is the video that made Altair famous.”
Setsuna Shimazaki’s secondary creation, World Etude.
Sota was acquainted with the author.

They are not able to find the real name of the author.
“If we can find out who it is, we can proceed to the next action.”

“We have located two authors of stories with characters that have appeared in this world. This is the author of Code Babylon, Shunma Suruga. Her real name is Chika Ohsawa. This is the author of Exclusive Underground, Ryo Yatoji. His real name is Ryosuke Goda. I anticipate that, just like everyone here, we will be requesting your cooperation as Creators in the future.”
The author of Code Babylon was a woman. Marine is much impressed.
“So this is the person who was drawing those pictures. Amazing.”

Yatoji is in a bad mood.
“So? I have a deadline. I’m busy. If you have something to say, keep it short.”
Yuya calls to him, “Hey, you, wait.”
“Why is a cosplayer from my manga here? Although, I’d say he’s doing a good job.”
“What do you mean, ‘did a good job making me’? I thought you weren’t such a bad guy, but I’m disappointed. Selesia’s god is a million times better than you.”
Yuya Mirokuji doesn’t like the rude attitude of his creator.

“Get your act together. I thought you were a real man.”
Yatoji doesn’t understand the situation.
“The police came to my house all of a sudden, and talked about some nonsense, and brought me here. I got a lot to deal with too. Because I’m a real man.”

“You’re the god of our world. I have a lot of things I want to say to you. But saying it wouldn’t change anything. I have no intention to ramble on like that Military Uniform girl. Because of that story you spat out, there are people that died. There are people who went mad and are hunting me down. And then I hear you calling me a cosplayer like it’s nothing. It pisses me off.”

Meteora cautions, “Mirokuji, I want you to restrain yourself here.”
But the anger of a character who has been swayed by the selfishness of the author is not easily suppressed.

Mr. Matsubara intercedes.
“Mirokuji! Don’t do anything to his right hand and his head.”
Is it sympathy Matsubara bears to Yatoji as a fellow trader, though he seems to allow Yuya practice some rough treatment?

Sota is checking the posts of Altair on the net.

Meteora says to Sota, “Nakanogane said this place is perfect for doing research. Right now he’s searching a bookstore nearby. We are planning to meet later.”
“Oh, then that’s good.”
“What happened? Sota?”
“Nothing. I mean …”
“You must have some business. That’s why you connected me.”
“Yes. … By the way, did you get any new information? …Like you found the person you were looking for, something like that.”
“We discovered the identity of the Military Uniform Princess. Her name is Altair. She’ a secondary creation from the game Eternal Wars Megalosphere. Almost nothing of the original character is preserved. In order to find the person who created Altair, we’re getting help from Kikuchihara.”

There are several other personalities of secondary creation, like “Black saber” who has revealed her hidden aspect of the original personality. Including those derivative characters, new norm for identifying them in higher conceptual plane must be established, including any variations and isomorphs. That was the main subject pursued in the course Culture Today.
