David's voice actor is currently one of the most popular in Japan's animation industry.
In addition to being a voice actor, he is also a two-dimensional singer.
That's why David's dubbed voice is young and sweet.
This last dialogue made Fan Siwei and a group of manga fans burst into tears.
"Oh my god!"
Fan Siwei once again recalled the ending of "Edgerunners" and felt terrible.
Manga fans also commented that they couldn't bear such a touching line.
"I don't hold a grudge against you, why do you treat me like this?"
"Isn't it just a manga? [Sunglasses_Expression]"
"I told you you can't wear sunglasses! Take off your sunglasses for me!"
"Unveil... the curtain!"
"[Sunglasses_Expression] → [Crying_Expression]"
"Suzuki's voice for David is really good. It makes me tear up; I can't hold it in when I hear that voice."
...
However, at that moment, the story was still not over.
The back screen lit up, and an image of Lucy standing on the lunar surface in a spacesuit appeared.
Then...
"Great!"
David appeared in front of Lucy! Little David, who had never undergone a prosthetic, looked at Lucy happily, waved his arms, and laughed at her.
In the image, Lucy looked at David, who was smiling radiantly under the sun, and she also smiled happily.
But then...
at that moment, the narration finally sounded: "Edgerunners! Great in production!"
Instantly... it brought tears to the eyes of manga fans.
Manga fans who had read the manga didn't even have to see the last scene of David's disappearance; they had already burst into tears.
This scene was too cruel, and Sakura couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat after watching the trailer.
It could be said that this part is the most painful.
In fact, at first, Trigger Studios did not produce this last part.
But after Ren learned that he would release a preview to promote it,
he took the initiative to propose to the Trigger Studios production team to first produce half of the last part and add it to the preview.
However, the last scene of David's disappearance was not produced, which maintained a hint of suspense. 'Is it possible that David is not dead and that he and Lucy really went to the moon?' At the same time... it also seeks to attract viewers who haven't watched "Edgerunners" to watch the "Edgerunners" animation.
As for the manga fans who have seen it, will they reveal that the true plot of this scene is actually a tragedy?
Then don't worry, convincing people to join the pit is a beautiful tradition.
If you don't believe it, look at the comment section:
"I heard that "Edgerunners" is very cruel?"
A newcomer accidentally entered and asked in the comment section.
Someone immediately replied: "No! The plot of "Edgerunners" is very good! Very exciting!"
"Yes! Very exciting, believe me, the protagonist starts as a poor kid with nothing, and over time he gets stronger and reaches the peak of life."
"Yes, he also met a beautiful wife who is deeply in love with him, a kind and reliable older brother, a gentle and considerate older sister-in-law, and a very cute loli who is in love with him!"
"Don't you see how exciting this trailer is? Come watch "Edgerunners"! It will undoubtedly make you feel great!"
Then, this newcomer became very curious and read the "Edgerunners" manga.
However, after reading them, his face turned dull, and he seemed to have nothing to live for. "You call this very exciting?"
"The kid was so stupid he became a cyberpsycho. You say this manga is great?"
"This mangaka named Silverhand... really messed people up..."
But he turned around and told another passerby who hadn't read "Edgerunners": "I highly recommend "Edgerunners"! This year's most exciting manga!"
At the same time, in addition to this trailer, "Edgerunners" also released two different versions of the theme song.
One, of course, is a widow's song: "I Really Want To Stay At Your House", which cannot be a theme song in Japan.
However, there is no such restriction in the foreign version.
And it cannot be used as a theme song, but it can be used as an interlude, so it is still the background music for David's death and the moon trip in the animation.
However, now manga fans feel nothing when listening to it.
Just like when I heard it on the game radio in my previous life, no one felt anything, and it wasn't even good.
But after watching the animation...
it brought tears to my eyes when I heard it in the game! "This song... it's okay."
"Why isn't it a Japanese song? The key is that this English song isn't good either."
"On the cover, this is the foreign version of the theme song, and it's fine."
"I prefer the Japanese version of the theme song."
"Japanese theme song YYDS! Listen to it!"
Soon, manga fans put aside the song "I Really Want To Stay At Your House" and focused on the Japanese theme song on the other side: "If the Voice Can't Remember".
This song was directly sung by David's voice actor, Suzuki.
After all, besides being a voice actor, he is also a part-time singer, as is often the case with most voice actors in the industry.
"If I could remember my voice...
I feel nervous, happy, and bitter when I say your name..."
...
"Day by day, year by year...
Every turn feels like the first time I saw you..."
...
"There are lights urging me to leave...
There's a fire in my heart that illuminates this sadness that's going away...
There's a window in my heart...
Moonlight lengthens the shadows..."
...
"The garden in my heart is barren, the countdown to warmth, the oath is always greedy and inappropriate, clinging tightly to the straw, moonlight chills the tears, love and hate are on opposite sides, we are covered in scars, but the dream is safe and sound, I can't forget it without thinking about it..."
...
"The young man who left... I'm exhausted, and seeing you is like seeing you..."
After listening to this song "If the Voice Can't Remember", combined with the meaning of the lyrics, and then recalling the plot of "Edgerunners"...
Suddenly, manga fans burst into tears again.
These lyrics are really about the relationship between David and Lucy. The moonlight, the unforgettable love, the departed youth, the dusty and exhausted feeling of seeing each other in person...
It evokes the same bitterness of separation between life and death, as in Su Shi's "Jiangchengzi".
Isn't it exactly like that with David and Lucy? It's even exactly like the situation between Su Shi and his deceased wife, so there's nothing wrong with using these lyrics.
Ren listened to this song in a clip of David and Lucy in "Edgerunners" in his previous life, and "If the Voice Can't Remember" is really good.
So he used it.
Now it's truly moving and has generated a lot of controversy for the animation of "Edgerunners"!
"Edgerunners" and "If the Voice Can't Remember" are once again the most searched items on the internet in Japan! After listening to "If the Voice Can't Remember", some people turned to "Edgerunners" out of curiosity.
