【初號機】一詞源自1995年在東京電視網播映的機器人動畫《新世紀エヴァンゲリオン》中,由碇真嗣所駕駛的EVA一號機。
日本從80年代開始蓬勃發展機器人動畫,先後出現了如《機動戰士鋼彈》、《阿基拉AKIRA》、《攻殼機動隊》、《新世紀エヴァンゲリオン》等科幻動畫作品,隨著戰後經濟復甦、人類在沒有戰亂的時代下,各種產業的大放異彩,科技日新月異,衍生了種種對於環境議題以及人性本質的隱憂,在這些經典作品之中不乏探討在科技與資訊的爆炸後,生命存在的意義與人工智能的人道爭議。

本次作品除了參考上述作品中的高科技機甲的外型之餘,
也參考了藤崎竜在2005年以末日之後人類存亡為題材所繪製的漫畫作品《Waqwaq護神戰役》,在藤崎竜老師創作出的世界中,部分機甲是能與人合一進行戰鬥的護神像,以抵禦無自我意識,一心毀滅人類的機械。

藤崎竜老師在流線型的機甲板金上,會出現許多黑體日文字的俐落設計,並大量的使用電路線版與輸送能源的軟管元素。
這些經典作品其實無不在探討一個核心議題:
“當科技已經可以取代血肉之軀甚至凌駕於自然之上時,人類何以為人”的深層思考。
在酷炫的高端科技與機器人戰鬥畫面背後,也鮮明的去刻畫人物內心世界的精神分析式,並開始革命性的使用大量的意識流手法,去質疑反烏托邦性質的世界觀。

《CASHONLY-001》
-
In Neon Genesis Evangelion, Evangelions (エヴァンゲリオン ) are the fictional cyborgs piloted by the Children chosen by the Marduk Institute. The Evas were created by Nerv. Their principal purpose is to defend Tokyo-3 from the Angels. The visuals of the Evas were designed by Ikuto Yamashita and series director Hideaki Anno,who also created their stories.Shinji Ikari (碇 シンジ Ikari Shinji) is the Third Child and the pilot of Unit 01.
From 1980s,Japannese have made a large amount of Sci-fi animation,like《MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM》《Akira》《Ghost in the shell》《ULTIMATE ROBOT》.
Following by the advance of technology and the innovation,but appeared the implication of environmental issues human nature, discussing the meaning of life exists and humanitarian controversy of A I.

This time our designer not only takes those above as reference,but also refer to 《WaqWaq》as CASHONLY-001.
Most of the robots in Oshikiri Kensuke's storys are connected to pilot's soul, let the angels being without self-consciousness, in order to destroy human wholeheartedly.
Those classic animations expose the same main issue: When robots can replace or even override nature,what else human beings left?
It's such a dystopian question that calls for deep thought.
