Warriors Orochi Substitute Officers

When playing a battle as a character that is an ally in the battle, a generic officer will take their place. Substitute officer allocations were all over the place in Warriors Orochi Z, but in Warriors Orochi 3, efforts were made to standardise them. Such a shame Koei Tecmo got lazy and scrapped that system in Warriors Orochi 4.

Anyway, here is a list of substitute officers in Warriors Orochi 3, combined with my substitute officer picks for the hypothetical Warriors Orochi: The Recollective (hereafter shortened to WOX) and a hypothetical Warriors Orochi 4 that I will cover in its retrospective.

Secrets of the three kingdoms

Year : 2018 | Country : CN | Nb of episodes: 54

My rate: 6/10

Synopsis :

When the twin sons of an emperor and a concubine are separated, one grows up to become emperor and one lives secretly as a commoner.

Twin brothers Liu Ping and Liu Xie (Ma Tian Yu)grow up very differently but end up back together in adulthood with only each other to lean on. Liu Xie is raised by his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Dong, and becomes Emperor Xian while Liu Ping is secretly taken out of the palace and grows up as a commoner with Sima Yi (Elvis Han).

When fighting breaks out among different factions, Emperor Xian loses control of the kingdom to the powerful warlord Cao Cao (Tse Kwan Ho). When Emperor Xian learns about the existence of his twin brother, he summons him to the palace.

Can Liu Ping, with the help of Sima Yi, Empress Fu Shou (Regina Wan) and other Han loyalists, help the emperor save the Eastern Han Dynasty?

“Secret of the Three Kingdoms” is a 2018 Chinese drama series directed by Patrick Yau. It is based on the novel San Guo Ji Mi by Ma Bo Yong.

Main cast :

Ma Tian yu as Liu Xie/Liu Ping

Wan Qian as Fu Shou

Elvis Han as Sima Yi/ Zhong Da

Dong Jie as Tang Ying

Tan Jian Ci as Cao Pi

My thoughts on this drama :

For a historical drama, I believe this is the most serious one I have ever watched. Ma Tian Yu playing two characters (twins) is a big plus, as it added some realism and confusion within the plot. I belive the costumes are also pretty accurate for the era this story is set up in.

It is a long, plot-heavy story so be warned. Romance is not the main part of this show, we are in a political war in this drama, with deep intrigues and dark themes all over.

Terms of Endearment in CQL and Wuxia 

Ope. My childhood obsession with wuxia got called out by @hunxi-guilai’s post here

Mostly I think of terms of endearment being name conjugations. CQL/MDZS covers most of the types. 

Let’s go over a brief overview of what we do see in CQL/MDZS:

A + name: e.g A-xian, A-cheng, A-yuan. It’s not something that’s used commonly in my family, but I see it all the time. It’s not really romantic, IMO. I can’t think of an example where this is used romantically in the Jin Yong novels i’ve read… but it’s been about 7 years since i last reread one?

Duplicating a character of the name: e.g. Xianxian (sometimes jyl calls wwx this). It’s a diminutive and not really romantic. This was used with my name when I was a kid. Like if LWJ were in a less formal family, i could see LXC calling him Zhanzhan. Gosh, that’s really cute. OMG. I can suddenly see his mom calling him that. Excuse me as I go freak out in a corner…

Name + sibling term (almost always 哥ge/ 妹mei): e.g. Lan-er-gege. In 射雕, Huang Rong calls Guo Jing “Jing-gege”. In 倚天屠龙 Zhang Wuji was told to call Zhao Min “Min-mei”. Both cases, you add a sibling term to make you seem closer to the other person. (note: ge -- older brother, di -- younger brother, jie -- older sister, mei-- younger sister. Usually the female is younger so you see ge and mei more than you see other options. In fact, i can’t think of an example where ge and mei aren’t used...)

Things not used in CQL:

Name + 儿/er: So this is the one I don’t see in QCL/MDZS that I see a lot in wuxia. So Guo Jing calls Huang Rong “Rong-er”. In 神雕侠侣, XiaoLongNv calls Yang Guo “Guo-er” and later tells him to call her “Long-er”.  儿/er can be translated as child or son or youth. In this case, it’s definitely a diminutive suffix.

Last name/descriptor + Gu/姑 and + Lang/郎: 姑, kinda short for guniang, and 郎 (man, i refer you to my post about the Wuji refrain) can be used as suffixes. Namely in 天龙八部 a pair calls each other 梦姑and 梦郎 (dream-gu and dream-lang). In 天龙八部, another character is referred to by a love interest by Last name + lang. Lang is more common than gu (IMO because 姑姑 means aunt [father’s sister, doesn’t matter relative age] so it feels weird… ). Also, Xie Lian calls Hua Cheng 三郎 the same way WWX calls LWJ 蓝二哥哥.

Hanzi 汉子 and Laopo 老婆: Hanzi is something you would call a dude (doesn’t have to be a term of endearment but can be used as such) and Laopo is a common term for wife (literally old lady/woman).

And then there’s the couple from 射雕 who stole and studied a forbidden skill that drove them mad. They mostly called each other ZeiHanzi and ZeiPoniang. Zei meaning thief and Poniang (婆娘) being a combination of Laopo and Guniang and a fairly crude way of saying Laopo.

Sometimes, in Wuxia, if people are in the same sect and end up in a relationship, they’ll continue calling each other by Shimei/Shige/Shidi/Shijie. In some ways that relationship is very intimate anyway so why bother changing what you call each other? It definitely threw me for a loop on how WWX and JYL interacted at first since she called him something that didn’t seem like she was in love with him and he called her something that could be either. o.O

Anyway, bonus note from reading too much Wuxia:

In addition to ways to seem closer when you address SOs, there are also terms used to be polite to people outside of your family by verbally undervaluing the wife. It’s not unlike Wei Wuxian referring to himself as Wei Mou [anonymous person with the last name of Wei].

So sometimes you’ll be reading wuxia and a husband will refer to his wife as 内人 (nei ren/ person inside [the house])， 拙荆 (zhuo jing / clumsy vitex)，or 贱内 (jian nei/ cheap or lowly [person] inside [the house]). Sometimes you’ll see other combinations (but never 贱人 [jian ren] because it means slut).  

On the flip side, 外子 (wai zi/person on the outside [of the house]) and 拙夫 (zhuo fu/clumsy husband) are ways women could refer to her husband in a similar fashion. I see the latter more than I see the former.

[the-archlich]

Who are the 2-3 Generals that Cao Cao and Sun Quan is closest to? Liu Bei we all know is Guan Yu and Zhang Fei unless my life is a lie (And Zhao Zilong nvm let's not go there). Cao Cao would be Cao Ren and Xu Huang? Or one of the Xiahou? Quan would be Zhou Tai and Lu Meng? I know Lu Meng is there considering Quan made a peep hole to check on his health condition.

The founders of the Kingdoms were personally close to a lot of their famous commanders and officials. Personal charisma is part of why they were able to build large followings, after all. If I were to narrow it down to a handful though:

Liu Bei was very close to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Zhuge Liang. But let’s not forget Jian Yong, who was his friend since childhood, joined him along with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, stuck with him through his greatest trials, and served as one of his chief diplomats.

Cao Cao was close to a number as well. Xiahou Dun is generally agreed to be his closest friend but there were many others; Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Dian Wei all come to mind.

Sun Jian had his circle of famous followers like Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, Yu/Sun He, and his brother Sun Jing. Sun Ce had many as well: Yu/Sun He, Sun Ben, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Taish iCi, Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, and Lv Fan. For Sun Quan I’d say probably Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Lv Meng, Zhou tai, Ling Tong, Pan Zhang, and Zhu/Shi Ran were closest.

谢谢你听过我唱过的这些歌 / Xie Xie Ni Ting Guo Wo Chang Guo De Zhe Xie Ge (40 OST compilation by Zhou Shen), 晚安，明天见 / Good Night, See You Tomorrow online concert on TME Live

Zhou Shen: Every time I perform, many people ask, “Zhou Shen, why do you always sing other people’s songs?” One reason I’m afraid to sing my own songs when I’m onstage is that people might not have heard it before, and that I’d be wasting their time listening to me sing. That’s why on most occasions, whether it’s a performance or in a show, I usually pick songs people are more familiar with to perform. So this is a very brave attempt from me, to have people listen to nothing but my songs on such a massive streaming platform – frankly I’m very afraid that midway through, people will go, “oh, I’ve not heard this before, how boring” and then leave. This thought has always been there: if one day I sing only my own songs onstage, will anyone listen? […] I’m really grateful to have this chance to thank all the movies and shows for their trust, which gave me so many chances and let me meet all my fans and the people who like listening to me sing. That’s why I made all the OSTs I’ve sung over the years into one song, and titled it “Thank you for these songs you heard me sing”. Hopefully, you’ll have heard at least one of them, or maybe it’ll remind you – oh, I think I’ve heard this song before, and the one who sang it is Zhou Shen. I hope you’ll like this song, and listen to the end of it.

Wuxia round up, which let's be honest is just me ranking my favorite Louis Cha/Jin Yong works.

1. Demigods and semidevils (Tian Long Ba Bu/天龙八部)。The 2003 version is still my fave, I think, mostly because the dude who plays qiao/xiao Feng NAILED it. (Incidentally, the same actor also plays the major big bad in Ever Night 1, and he fucking nailed that one too). Although the bizarre harem (sub?)plot ruins it a little bit, but overall I loved the stories of brotherhood and found families and defining for yourself who you are while making best of circumstances. Im a huge fan of "freedom of choice" theme in wuxia. Plus, all 3 sworn brothers are very compelling as characters with interesting growth and development.

2. The Legend of the Condor Heroes (She Diao Ying Xiong Zhuan/射雕英雄传). Frankly, I debated between this one and The Smiling Proud Wanderer (XAJH), and this one only narrowly edged over XAJH because I love me a likely neuroatypical main character who is sympathetically portrayed (I will fight anyone who claims Guo Jin is not NA with all my cultivation and liu mai shen jian). The main villain is an incredibly well written tragic character who is both despicable and somehow also worth your sympathy because ultimately, he never stood chance if you really think about it. The foils between the hero and villain are masterful (and also further support my theory that GJ is a neuroatypical genius) The cameo by historical figures like Genghis Khan and his family is a plus. Also the Eastern Heretic is 1000% DILF. 2009 version is my personal favorite because I think they really captured the essence of guo jing.

3. The Smiling Proud Wanderer (Xiao Ao Jiang Hu/笑傲江湖). I'm 90% sure that MDZS is like... a queer xian xia au of XAJH, or like a fanfic where WWX and LWJ are the old men mentioned at the beginning of the story. Unfortunately, I'm gonna slap a HUGE "this work is majorly transphobic and questionably queerphobic" warning sign here. As a GNC queer, the only reason I dont hate it is because this is my parents' favorite work and I love the key themes raised in this piece, and Linghu Chun is a very very likeable character who is stupidly self sacrificing and an independent thinker with a drinking problem and strong moral boundaries (so...... like WWX but like less gay). lots of stuff thematically similar to MDZS, but story telling is in a very different style.

Honorable Mentions:

- romance of the condor heroes: main characters journey is interesting, but the whole marrying the girl who raised you and who you literally called auntie is little on the weird side.

- heavenly sword and dragon saber: again loving the whole "there is nuance and gray between black and white" theme here. Again loving the cameos by historical figures like zhu yuanzhang and yuan dynasty emperors. I wish that the focus was more on the ladies, rather than the main dude. He's, despite being my ultimate favorite trope of genius doctor fighter guy (zong yue, anyone?), is kind of boring. But Zhou Zhiruo's character development and her inner struggle is well done. The foil between her and Zhao Min is also really fascinating. Xiao Zhao and Yang Buhui and The Ugly Girl are also terrific characters. Zhiruos master is a fun villain.

Best Louis Cha work to start with: DEFINITELY legend of the condor heroes. All the cool wuxia stuff without the frankly weird and borderline squixky relationship shit in the other ones.
