Tokatsu and Alternate Worlds Theory

Firstly, i find that the two topics are closely related to each other and hence they are reflected on as the same topic in the blog reflections.

The Tokatsu World, is basically a fantasy world created by the japanese authors, it features superheroes that makes use of special skills and effects to fight against evil. There are even famous evil characters in the Tokatsu World such as demons, spirits and monsters.

What makes the Tokatsu World interesting is that the storyline commonly revolves around the fight between good and evil, which in my opinion, is one of the easiest mediums in telling a story, placing in characters for the story is easy for the author as he just have to choose a side for the character to be, good or evil. The characteristic of the character is then determined from the side.

By inter connecting the topic Parallel Worlds, i find that the Tokatsu World is but a parallel world created by the authors to attract the teenagers in the present time, this world they have created is an alternate world where it has limitless possibilities. However it must also relate to real life in order to attract audiences.

For example, humans that can transform into a big avatar(as tall as buildings) and defeat huge monsters and defend earth as their job(Ultraman), versus the real life where humans have normal jobs and everyone are almost of the same size. What is learnt from combining the two was that the authors are thinking out of the box, in search of different possibilities that could happen within the same world, the Tokatsu World attracts people mainly because they believe that they are still within the same world, and as such it relates to them as human beings.

An alternate history is created in the Tokatsu World, this allows a whole new law of nature, and magic can be used in the Tokatsu World. Magic might take the form of tricks in the real world, hwoever it is transformed into devastating and cool magical spells which either damage the opponent or heal an individual. This shows the effect when we change real life events, and expand it to limitless possibilities, giving it a new world and a new set of rules.

Humans would believe in something that closely relates to themselves, hence as absurd an idea as it is, as long as it still belongs to an idea branched off from a possibility of the current world, it is still possible to assume that other people would understand the idea. If the idea created does not have any influences or relationship to any other idea in the world, it would become an idea other people would not find feasible.
