Summary

Volume 5 of Blades of the Guardians belongs to the "Desert Arc" and collects chapters 43 to 50. The story is set in the third year of the Daye era of the Sui Dynasty (607 AD): Emperor Yang Guang rules with cruelty, the people live in misery, and warlords rise across the Western Regions' deserts. In this volume, Ayuya learns that her father Lao Mo has been killed by He Yixuan. Ignoring Dao Ma's persuasion, she returns alone to the Great Sandstorm to avenge her father, but is trapped in danger because her enemies outnumber her. At the critical moment, the Sui general Pei Xingyan unexpectedly appears, saves the gravely wounded Ayuya, and fights fiercely with He Yixuan's men; meanwhile, Dao Ma and his group also reach the camp and hide in the shadows, waiting for a chance to rescue her. Around revenge and rescue, the conflicts among the desert factions intensify further, and the "Long Night" section enters its second half. Ayuya's choice and the whereabouts of Dao Ma's group become the key drivers of this volume's plot, which also includes a special appendix, "The Past and Aftermath of Red Sand Town."

Editor's review

《镖人》是近十年最具代表性的国产武侠漫画之一,以隋末乱世为舞台,用黑白灰的粗犷线条铺开一场介于西部片、剑戟片与港式武侠之间的江湖。许先哲并非科班出身,却花四年时间筹备出道作,并参考《隋书》《资治通鉴》等典籍考据人物、兵器与服饰,让大漠、胡商、官府、镖客构成一幅有立体感的历史图景。第5卷处在“大漠篇”情节最紧绷的段落:阿育娅为父复仇、裴行俨意外出手、刀马一行潜伏营砦,复仇、信义与生存压力交织。分镜节奏干脆利落,打斗呈现“一招毙命”的写实风格,读来紧张仍有层次。本作在日本曾被NHK电视台报道,也得到高桥留美子、藤泽亨、马庸等推荐。若已读过前四卷,这一卷会看到人物性格真正立起来。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 读过《镖人》前四卷、想继续追大漠篇的读者
  • 喜欢武侠、西部片和硬派黑白漫画的读者
  • 对隋唐历史背景与江湖题材感兴趣的人
  • 喜欢紧凑打斗分镜、干脆叙事节奏的漫画读者

Not a good fit for

  • 第一次接触《镖人》、想要从零起步的读者(本卷为连续剧情中的一册)
  • 偏好轻松搞笑或日常治愈类漫画的读者
  • 不适应暴力打斗与粗粝画风的低龄读者

Reading tips

  1. 建议先按顺序读完第1—4卷,掌握刀马、阿育娅、和伊玄等人的关系再读本卷。
  2. 留意第47回“和伊玄”开始的情节转折,先理解各方势力利益,再把握打斗场面。
  3. 读完第50回“家园”后连着看特别附录《赤沙镇的前缘后续》,可补全前情中的因果。
  4. 若对照动画与真人电影,请以原著漫画的情节与人物设定为准,影视版有较多压缩与改动。
