Chapter 466: Volume 6 Summary

Explaining the writing ideas and supplementing the background settings.

The title of Volume 6 is "Harry Potter and the Masked Hero," which can also be translated as "Harry Potter and the Masked Hero." Masked Hero corresponds to the Half-Blood Prince in the original work, referring both to the way Harry Potter obtains his strength and its source, and to the character Snape in the book. And whether in the original work or in this text, because of his personality, Snape can be called a "Masked Hero."

If you have no interest in Kamen Rider, you don't have to read it. In one sentence, after all the twists and turns in Volume 6, the most important points are two:

First, the Statute of Secrecy can finally be broken, which couldn't be broken before.

Second, Harry is now invincible in the Wizarding World, and only Luo En can tie with him by relying on restraint relationships.

Next, explaining why Volume 6 chose the Kamen Rider series stories as the stitched content. It is certain that this is a quite risky move, because readers who like Harry Potter may not necessarily understand or like Kamen Rider, which is very different from the stitching of Doctor Who in Volume 4. However, in fact, Volume 4 and Volume 6 are strongly related. If you sort out the logic chain from the beginning, it is like this:

At the beginning of the outline setting, the level was already raised, so it was determined that the childish Mr. Voldemort could not be the final boss. Then it was necessary to finalize Voldemort's exit time. Volume 1 is definitely too early, and Volumes 2 and 3 need to arrange time-loop locked-room reasoning puzzles, so Voldemort could not be handled in the first three volumes. Volume 4's stitching of Doctor Who is based on the actor meme of Barty Crouch Jr., and Barty Crouch Jr. is just a character who appears for a limited time in the fourth grade in Harry Potter and is not very important, but when he plays the Tenth Doctor, he is one of the most popular Doctors and also the protagonist of the anniversary movie. The extremely unequal status in the two shows derives a question: if Barty Crouch Jr. fails to play a huge role in the plot, will it lower the status of the Tenth Doctor? Based on this consideration, Voldemort was placed in Volume 4, and even the most difficult problem to solve, how to prevent time travel, and how Dumbledore can exit with dignity without losing his status, were handled with the plot of Doctor Who. I ask myself that at least on the time issue, it is better than the original work (the original work chose to accidentally break the cabinet storing all Time-Turners in Volume 5).

After Volume 4 was written high enough, it faced an awkward problem. At this moment, the conditions for breaking the Statute of Secrecy were already met (Death was isolated), but breaking the Statute of Secrecy too early would make Harry's school life a mess. In order to correspond to the arrangement of grades 1-6 in the original work at school, the necessary and sufficient condition for breaking the Statute of Secrecy (the dissipation of fate) had to be moved to the sixth grade, which derived the helpless move of "Death is not completely dead, and fate still exists on Harry."

In fact, no matter what content is stitched in the sixth grade, it must ultimately satisfy both "Harry and Luo En have obtained the strongest power in the Wizarding World" and "Harry breaks fate and completely liberates the Statute of Secrecy." Based on the author's knowledge reserve and personal hobbies, the story of Kamen Rider was finally chosen.

In the story of the original Kamen Rider 1, the rider is a cyborg of an evil organization, or a biological weapon, but because the evil organization transformed the body first and couldn't brainwash him in time before he escaped, he belongs to a lonely, tragic hero who bears evil power but fights for justice. This core can just correspond to the Half-Blood Prince in the original work.

And after the continuous deconstruction of subsequent works, the core of Kamen Rider also derived the theme of resisting fate, which corresponds to the intended theme of this volume, and in this novel, the power of fate is more powerful, because the author needs to pay attention to respecting the original work of Harry Potter and the original work of the stitched works at all times, which is reflected in the novel as "the limitation of fate."

As for the settings and original stories of Build, W, OOO, Kiva, Saber, and Zi-O used in the original text, they are content that Ge Xuan, Tang Nade, and some readers know, but others in the Wizarding World do not know. If readers who haven't watched these shows want to get into them, this is also the recommended order for watching them given by the author personally. Among them, although Zi-O is not filmed very well, it has a considerable introduction to other riders (riders not mentioned in this article), so you can watch it as appropriate.

Finally, let's talk about the dark line that was used most heavily in this volume, which is the Snape and vampire line. First, Snape and Moon Knight have many similarities, so after determining to use Moon Knight on Snape, the vampire line was designed, and the vampire line designed for this reason needs to match the story of Moon Knight as much as possible. In order to make Snape feel like he is having a second spring, a beautiful vampire Mia with green eyes (from the game Code Vein) was specially chosen, but limited by the Moon Knight line, it is still a pity that Mia was written to death. It's just that the plot of accidentally killing by mistake in the original Moon Knight show is too bloody, so here it is replaced by Mia being controlled and threatened by the KGB. In order not to do anything to hurt Snape, she actively participated in the Queen project to seek death. Snape advised her not to go without knowing the truth, but she was very firm, so Snape could only let it go. Finally, Snape recalled the battle process and found it more and more suspicious. He started to investigate and found the truth, angrily went to confront the vampire and killed the vampire's boss, corresponding to the original Moon Knight show. Another ending to this line is that Nikola and Edith walk out of this mess and start a new life, corresponding to the ending of the game Code Vein. (In the game, Nikola died and Mia went out.)

It is a pity that Yanayev's nail in the Ministry of Magic has not been pulled out, because according to the principle mentioned in the prologue, Donna Noble is actually pro-Soviet.

In addition, a time setting is added, which is that the time point before Tang Nade's time travel is 2019. He knows Build (released in August 2018) but does not know Saber (released in September 2020). Ge Xuan roughly determined the year before his time travel through this.

The above is the background setting that needs to be supplemented for the entire Volume 6. Next, entering Volume 7, I will also preview that the outline of Volume 7 has been changed, because I have received many admonitions not to involve politics, but the introduction and prologue, and even the inspiration for the whole text, are the Cold War. Here, I can only avoid the important and focus on the light, mainly focusing on the development of high-level magical technology, and point to the theme of this Cold War from the side of the arms race. ===== CHAPTER 467 =====
