Ju Fufu, holding a popcorn pot, spins, dodges, and attacks in the flames. Her fighting posture is like that of ordinary people in real life, with anxiety and helplessness, but she has to persevere. This seemingly absurd scene in the Absolute Zone is actually a metaphor for the survival status of people in modern society and a profound portrayal of the cruel reality of life.
1. Popcorn pot: a realistic metaphor in absurd tools
An ordinary popcorn pot has become Ju Fufu’s weapon, which is ironic in itself. If Mr. Lu Xun saw this, he would sneer. The pot was originally a utensil used to cook food in life, but now it is used to spit fire and kill enemies, which makes people feel absurd, but it truly reflects the mutation of society and the embarrassment of people’s survival.
The flame of this pot is the flame of survival, the flame of struggle and anger. It is both warm and hot, both defense and attack. The popcorn pot in the hands of Ju Fufu symbolizes the life state of ordinary people who are forced to transform into “weapons” under social pressure.
2. The stylization of four-stage attacks: a portrayal of mechanized life
Ju Fufu’s ordinary attack is a four-stage combo, with clear, mechanical and repetitive movements. This is not only a combat mode in the game, but also very much like the rhythm of modern people’s day-to-day life, full of mechanical and tiredness.
These four attacks are a metaphor for the meaningless repetition of life. People are forced to play fixed roles in the social machine, every step of the action is disciplined, every rhythm is arranged by life, lacking freedom and creativity. Ju Fufu’s four-stage combo is a symbol of this mechanical nature.
3. The helplessness and struggle of spinning and dodging
Ju Fufu spins and dodges the enemy’s attack, and the spinning flames are like invisible shackles that bind her tightly. Spinning and dodging seems clever, but it is actually a helpless struggle. She spins, trying to avoid the heavy blow of reality, but is burned by the flames and entangled by invisible difficulties.
Isn’t this rotation the endless struggle of modern people under the pressure of life? It is difficult to escape the difficulties of life and the shackles of the spirit by turning non-stop. Tachibana Fuku’s spinning dodge is a cold portrayal of the anxiety and helplessness of modern people.
4. The fierce outbreak and tragic color of the special skills of flame
Tachibana Fuku’s flame jet skill is an outbreak of passion, but it also hides tragedy. The flame devours everything, which is both an attack and self-destruction. The flames that are ejected are not interrupted, symbolizing the uncontrollable torrent of fate.
This flame, like the cry of the characters in Lu Xun’s works, is fierce but powerless to change the status quo. Tachibana Fuku uses flames to fight back against the oppression of reality, but the flames also burn her. The flame jet is the explosion of her soul and a silent struggle, with an inevitable tragic color.
5. The mutual assistance and contradiction between team cooperation skills and support skills
Tachibana Fuku is not fighting alone, her cooperation skills reflect the necessity of teamwork. In real life, although people are lonely, they have to rely on others to face challenges together.
However, the collaboration between teams is not always harmonious, and contradictions and conflicts are everywhere. Ju Fufu’s joint skills are cooperation, compromise, and a delicate balance between interests and trust. Her support skills reflect people’s mutual assistance and defense in complex social relationships.
6. Heat mechanism: outbreak after emotional repression
The heat value symbolizes the accumulation and repression of emotions. Ju Fufu’s attack power depends on the accumulation of heat, just as people will eventually burst out with intense emotions under long-term mental repression.
This mechanism reflects the crisis of the psychological state of modern society: emotions are suppressed and bound by reason, but they often accumulate silently, which may eventually lead to disasters. The increase in heat is a symbol of inner pressure and a wake-up call for survival anxiety.
7. The dual meaning of resistance and wound mechanism
Ju Fufu’s resistance to fire and wound bonus reflect people’s adaptation and struggle in pain. Flame symbolizes injury, wounds symbolize trauma, but trauma is also a mark of growth.
Lu Xun once said, “There is no genius. I am a mediocre person who spends the time others spend drinking coffee on work.” The wounds and resistance of Ju Fufu are a reflection of this kind of persistence in struggle in the face of suffering. She uses pain to strengthen herself, but she is inevitably tortured by pain.
VIII. Conclusion: Ju Fufu in the flames is a microcosm of society
Ju Fufu holds a popcorn pot in her hand, spinning and attacking in the flames. Her image is a microcosm of modern people’s struggle in the face of cruel reality. The absurdity of the popcorn pot, the scorching of the flames, the four-hit machine, the complexity of the team, the explosion of heat, and the pain of the wounds all reflect the indifference and contradictions of today’s society.
Ju Fufu’s battle is not only a counterattack against the enemy, but also a struggle against her own predicament. The flames burning in her body are both anger and helplessness. Just like the characters struggling in the darkness in Lu Xun’s works, her story is sad, but also inspiring.
