魔神Z角色 | |
首次登场 | 《魔神Z》第一话: “惊异的机器人诞生” |

兜甲儿(日语:兜甲児,Koji Kabuto),为永井豪的日本漫画作品《魔神Z》中的虚构人物,亦是此作的的主角及超级机器人“魔神Z”的驾驶员。作品描述甲儿利用魔神Z的力量对抗剧中敌人地狱博士的进犯。在首作的故事最后被击败后,甲儿在续集《大魔神》中卷土重来,他也在《魔神Z》的系列作《UFO机器人 古连泰沙》中成为狄克·弗瑞德(デューク・フリード)的朋友和搭档。
永井豪创作兜甲儿的目的是为了吸引儿童了解他的反英雄特质。作品中以机器人为主题是为了增加一个有趣的概念:如果机器人是由孩子操纵会有多有趣。曾有多位配音员为甲儿的角色献声。虽然甲儿以动画史上第一位超级机器人驾驶员而闻名,但由于他急躁的个性以及与女主角弓沙也加(弓さやか)的关系不睦,人们对他的角色评价褒贬不一。
创作与发展
[编辑]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/Go_Nagai_20080704_Japan_Expo_05.jpg/220px-Go_Nagai_20080704_Japan_Expo_05.jpg)
永井豪将兜甲儿塑造为一个意志坚强的主角,他能够控制魔神Z的力量,并知道这种力量的后果。永井豪觉得这种谨慎使用力量的讯息尤其受到他早期的两部作品《魔王但丁》和《恶魔人》影响。他的反社会性格被塑造成孩子们会照顾但父母会反对的东西。甲儿的角色受到《破廉耻学园》的山岸八十八影响,但有一种更为冷静和强壮的感觉。结果永井豪将甲儿描写成一个不良少年,尤其是当他粗鲁对待弓沙也加并为自己的行为感到难过时。[1]
据永井豪说,他在观察交通拥堵中沮丧的司机时萌生了驾驶机器人的想法,想像一辆汽车可以长出胳膊和腿,并在其他车辆上行走。根据永井豪的说法,《魔神Z》的概念是:“我没有将巨型机器人等同于武器,我想给一个青少年角色一套盔甲,让他成为英雄。”回想起来,永井豪觉得甲儿比起其他现代的机器人驾驶员更加纯粹及简单。尽管如此,他声称自己只是想透过《魔神Z》给年轻观众带来乐趣。[2]魔神Z在作中不断被打败,是因为永井豪想要对机器人进行更多重新设计。当永井豪开始计划想法,看看如果该系列受欢迎时他能做什么,故事中并没有出现兜甲儿的父亲。[3]
在制作《UFO机器人 古连泰沙》时,永井豪希望主角只有狄克·弗瑞德。然而,永井豪被要求把甲儿也放进去,导致该剧有两个主角。制作人胜田稔男对这个概念感到压力,因此将甲儿变成了一个从属角色。他表示要为此事对甲儿的粉丝道歉。永井豪认为,多亏了这个角色,狄克·弗瑞德最终给人留下了更成熟的印象。胜田声称他希望甲儿成为“一个开朗的男孩,活泼、热情、不讲道理的行动”,与弗瑞德的严肃性格形成鲜明对比。[4]
在电影《INFINITY》中,甲儿再次担任主角,目的是让他的角色弧线与其他角色更接近。[5]
甲儿的首任日语声优为石丸博也,从1972年的电视动画《魔神Z》开始至2001年的OVA作品《魔神凯撒》皆由他负责,直至2009年的《真魔神 冲击!Z篇》中实现角色世代交替,由赤羽根健治负责演配。在此之后的《魔神Z》系列作品出场的兜甲儿也曾由不同的男声优负责过(《INFINITY》的森久保祥太郎、《古连泰沙U》的下野纮)。
在游戏产业,甲儿也被认为是经典策略电子游戏系列《超级机器人大战》的台柱之一,几乎出现在每个系列作中。
出现作品
[编辑]魔神Z
[编辑]在漫画和动画版本的《魔神Z》中首次亮相时,甲儿原本是一名普通高中生,唯一明显的技能就是驾驶摩哆车。他与弟弟兜志郎(兜シロー)和祖父兜十藏(兜十蔵)住在一起,因为他的父母都已去世(尽管几年后发现甲儿的父亲兜剑造仍然活着)。
甲儿的祖父兜十藏在第一集中被杀,但十藏在死之前指示甲儿驾驶自己制造的机器人“魔神Z”,与地狱博士的历史机器人军队作战。最初,甲儿无法正确操作魔神Z。幸而最后弓沙也加出现,并驾驶着她自己的巨型(女性)机器人“爱神A”来约束魔神Z。
兜甲儿的角色在整个《魔神Z》系列中不断演变。从一个看似不经大脑、鲁莽、孩子气的小混混,变得逐渐能够应对对手更大的挑战、表现出日益增长的责任感、以及怀抱着与敌人战斗至死的勇气,严然脱变成一位战士。在最困难的时候,他凭借著不屈的意志度过了难关。看似坚不可摧的金属合金“锶合金”实际上一次又一次地未能达到其开发者的期望,而甲儿不朽的勇气与魔神Z所谓的刀枪不入形成鲜明对比,成为对抗邪恶势力的唯一屏障,甚至超越了魔神Z最终的毁灭。
甲儿的智慧似乎也随着时间而变得成熟。作为魔神Z的驾驶员渡过一场又一场的战斗后,甲儿已经是战斗方面的专家。曾与剑铁也(剣鉄也)一起对抗迈锡尼帝国最后一战的男人,已经不再是以前那个骑摩哆车的无脑小子了。但要到《UFO机器人 古连泰沙》甲儿才真正展现了自身的聪慧,例如他在NASA留学期间亲自设计了一架迷你飞碟“TFO”。事实上TFO只不过是一个配备了两枚导弹的豪华小发明,显然不适合战斗,但甲儿还是毫不犹豫地用它来面对邪恶的外星人大军。
在电影《INFINITY》中,故事延续自《魔神Z》至《大魔神》,并未将发展出《UFO机器人 古连泰沙》的故事。甲儿在迈锡尼垮台后,追随他父亲和祖父的步伐,成为了一名科学家渡过了10年的光阴。故事的最后甲儿重新驾驶魔神Z,与地狱博士及他的军队进行最后一场战斗,争夺一架看似全能的新型魔神。
甲儿最著名的特征,是他会在战斗中喊出魔神Z的武器名称。这到底是因为机器的编程需要以声音辅以按键来操作,还是只是源于永井豪的一时兴起,至今尚未完全确定,但这对观影孩子的影响却是压倒性的。甲儿最著名的战吼“火箭飞拳!”和“胸部火焰!”在日本和其他地方都很非常有名,甚至连那些从未看过《魔神Z》的人也知道。几乎所有的超级机器人,无论是否由永井豪设计,都有从兜甲儿和他的魔神那里参考了这项功能。
UFO机器人 古连泰沙
[编辑]在《魔神Z》的第二部衍生作品《UFO机器人 古连泰沙》中,甲儿沦为该作主角狄克·弗瑞德的助手——许多《魔神Z》日本粉丝并不欣赏这段漫长的时光。在《UFO机器人 古连泰沙》早期的大部分内容中,巨型敌方机器人都留给狄克·弗瑞德来摧毁。很多时候,甲儿都是作为伤者或是飞碟被破坏的角色待狄克·弗瑞德来营救。直至飞碟被彻底摧毁后,甲儿设计了一种更强大的战机,称为“Double Spazer”,这让他在战斗中扮演更积极的角色。
魔神凯撒
[编辑]在《魔神凯撒》中,甲儿再次回归驾驶魔神Z,与驾驶大魔神的铁也一起并肩作战。及后魔神Z被地狱博士抓获,并改造为一心要毁灭世界的邪恶机器人。甲儿则被他的Hover Pilder引导寻找魔神凯撒,几经波折下失去意识的甲儿虽然拯救了大魔神及光子力研究所,但也几乎摧毁了魔神Z。之后甲儿便作为魔神凯撒的驾驶员,一边学习控制魔神凯撒强大的力量,一边对抗进袭的地狱博士军队。
真魔神 冲击!Z篇
[编辑]在被认为是《魔神Z》故事情节“重启”的《冲击!Z篇》中,甲儿与他的经典形象非常相似。正如原版动画和漫画中一样,甲儿与他的弟弟志郎和祖父十藏住在一起。与原版系列一样,甲儿得到了十藏的魔神Z,但这次甲儿得到了十藏的简短指导,并在与地狱博士的部队第一次战斗时训练如何操纵魔神,然而十藏因之前受到的重伤在Hover Pilder内去世了。尽管本作的甲儿同样热血且决心做好事,但与之前的作品相比,《冲击!Z篇》的甲儿表现得更具侵略性,他有经常被情绪控制的倾向(例如当志郎被波士的帮派抓获时,甲儿亳不留情地暴力殴打波士,以及后来在十藏死后,气疯的甲儿以魔神Z追捕阿修罗男爵并几乎压垮了他,还用胸部火焰攻击阻止甲儿的沙也加及爱神A)。在故事的第一集中,也就是故事的“结局”,甲儿与暗黑大将军和地狱博士的军队展开对决,然后被迫与地狱博士的整个军队作战。
Reception
[编辑]Critics for anime, manga and other media commented on Koji Kabuto ever since his debut. Koji is noteworthy being the first mecha pilot in anime history.[6] Anime News Network referred to him as a "righteous idiot" due to his heroic yet simplistic personality. The reviewer also expressed criticism towards him misrelationship to Sayaka for coming across as sexist. Nevertheless, he found that the misrelationship evolves across the narrative.[7] In retrospective, The Fandom Post acclaimed how Nagai and Toei developed Koji as one of the first mecha pilots in anime history but, like ANN, felt that his personality was too rude, sexist and often fell into the villain's traps in most episodes.[8] In another review, the site still felt Koji was condescending to Sayaka and most of his friends while still praising his fights against Dr. Hell.[9] Guioteca referred to Koji as too proud and sexist based on his misrelationship with Sayaka. Nevertheless, the site noted that Koji's character made the series a success based on how he was one of the earliest mecha pilots, especially in South America, where the Mazinger Z anime was broadcast in the 1980s. While the misrelationship between Koji and Sayaka was seen as sexist by multiple writers, the site noted that it was still famous due to how the latter stood up against Koji, something that appealed to a bigger audience.[10]
In regards to the OVAs from Mazinkaiser, ANN praised the fights in the robots Koji pilots as well as his English actor due to his constant yells done when executing an attack from his robots.[11] DVDTalk enjoyed Koji's actions in the first two episodes due to how overthetop are his actions when fighting and discovering the new Mazinkaiser. The site found strange how in later episodes, the series focuses on a more comical take on Koji and Sayaka's relationship which comes across as fanservice due to the set up of a beach episode.[12] Mania Entertainment enjoyed the fights between the robots and found the story escalates quickly when Koji is defeated in the first episode by the enemy and goes missing-in-action until he comes back with the stronger Mazinkaiser. In contrast to DVDTalk, Mania Entertainment enjoyed the handling of Koji and Sayaka due to both of them coming across as tsunderes since in the beach episode it was clear the two had feelings for each other.[13] Mania Entertainment further enjoyed how in the later episodes, Koji and Tetsuya fight together in a proper fashion using their robots against Dr. Hell, making a proper homage to the Mazinger Z series.[14]
ANN criticized Koji's characterization in Infinity for coming across as "angsty" during the times the plot handles elements of who should keep fighting for humanity while discussing the idea of a weak society compared by the reviewer to a TV drama.[15] IGN found the adult Koji too different from the original one as he now takes more after his grandfather. IGN liked how the film did not solely focused on Koji's return to fight Dr. Hell as it allowed more cast members to integrated to the main story in the process.[16] Fandom Post praised how the film does a good job at introducing Koji's character. In regards to his encounter with his nemesis Dr. Hell, the site appreciated how well developed as the protagonist and his allies creates a new Mazinger Z, largely superior than the original.[17] Forbes found Koji's role in the whole formulaic due to how he is first defeated in the movie and returns with a stronger robot in the climax,[18] something which Otaku USA agreed since he felt the narrative tried to give Koji further depths yet his actions were easily foreseen by the writer.[19]
