Hu Tao's profile, title, constellation description, and some small details on the clothes are done very carefully, and at the same time there is a special meaning. It is full of traditional elements and has a sense of luxury. One look is one that makes a lasting impression.
Compared with other girl characters, Hu Tao's JK flavor is the strongest. Black skinny shorts have the feel of school sweatpants. The white socks are also very Japanese-style, and the small black leather shoes are even more similar. In addition, the black compact top unique to the employees of the Dead Hall itself gives people a feeling of **.
In terms of body appearance, Hu Tao's long double ponytail is very common in JK in Japanese works. The slender waist, the tight upper body, and the lower body that shows off the figure are also in line with JK's characteristics.
Even the name of Hu Tao appears in many Japanese two-dimensional works. The name is also mostly jk.
Because the majority of the protagonists of anime are in high school, JK has a pivotal position in the two-dimensional field. A beautiful JK is a guarantee of popularity. It also implies that this is a major character.
A woman with a sense of mystery is a lore in the second dimension. In the party comics, the green plum can't fall from the sky, and a large part of the reason is the deadly mystery of the sky. Mystery is**, attractive to people**. Whether it is the male protagonist or the audience, once they have the intention of unlocking the secret, it will not be far from the finale. And the last thing Hu Tao lacks is mystery. The matter of being in charge of life and death leads to reverie as soon as you hear it. Although Hu Tao is not a riddler, her identity makes every word she says feel like a riddle.
Although Hu Tao does not appear in the main Liyue storyline, her name is mentioned several times by Zhongli, which immediately arouses curiosity about her. And this kind of operation of hearing its voice first and seeing it later, when it came to Inazuma, it was used again by Kamisato, the difference is that Kamisato appeared after fishing for an appetite in the main line, and he has accumulated enough popularity. What is the effect of this trick, it can only be said that it is too good to be good.
After talking about the character design, let's talk about the plot. The plot of Hu Tao is not so much that there are a few points that are quite attractive:
Death has always been taboo. Hu Tao walks the two worlds of yin and yang to understand the fate of people after death, which is the basis for her ability to look down on life and death. But what made me care was the last paragraph of her legendary mission: she said that the previous hall masters of the Hall of the Dead had never appeared at the intersection of yin and yang, because they had no regrets.
But is that really the case? What if the hall masters of the past could not appear in the form of a soul after death because of some kind of coercive force, or even were imprisoned somewhere? It's like the curse of Kanria. It's scary to think about, because it's enough to shatter Hu Tao's belief in survival. When the time comes, Hu Tao's angry tearing of the crown of domination may not really be a joke.
In addition, behind the free and easy walnut, I don't know why it always gives me a feeling of purpose. The walnut in Qiqi's evaluation is hot and smirk, and it may not be just because of fear. It seems to me that the little girl who cried sadly at her grandfather's funeral and insisted on seeing him for the last time may still be hidden in the depths of Hu Tao's heart.
Hu Tao at the end of the Baizhu mission, after hearing that Baizhu used the technology to turn Qiqi into a zombie to transform the little boy's father, although the plot was not revealed, I think her heart is very angry. This is reflected in the fact that she did not even look back when she said goodbye to the traveler, and appeared very cold. Although Hu Tao is singing and dancing rap and playing the Seven Saints in the entire Sumeru version, because of this plot, I think the plot about Hu Tao is likely to be big in the future.
There are so many things that can be said in the Yin and Yang world. The story of the dead characters with the current popularity alone is enough to prop up a big version. If you can see in one version: Raiden Ma, Madam, the other three ** Yakshas, the Tree King, the Red King, the God of Flowers, and the End, would you look forward to it? And Hu Tao is currently the only person who can contact the Yin and Yang Realm, and her status can be said to be the same as that of Dainsleif.
In short, Hu Tao can be said to be a character who not only meets the expectations of players, but also has a unique setting and considerable plot potential, whether it is the setting or the story. Plus the strength is not bad. It is unreasonable for this kind of character to be unpopular.
