なんか流れにのって「誰かアフタヌーンやらないのかな?」とか言ってたら、「自分でやっては…?」と言われたので、
そこまで詳しい自信もないが、知らんわけでもないぐらいのところなので、とりあえず書いた
------
アフタヌーン初期の重要作品は、明らかにこれ。Wikipediaにも「看板作家であった藤島康介以外はほとんど無名の新人作家の作品を掲載」と書かれているように、初期のアフタヌーンはこの作品で支えていたという状況だったと理解している。
※ブコメで「初期の核はモーニング系作家や、園田健一とかあさりよしとおとか方面の作家」とのコメントいただいた。あと、トニーたけざきも。
これは満場一致になると信じている。作品としてのクオリティはもちろん、知名度、評価の高さ含めて、総合的に日本漫画史上の傑作の一つでしょう。『ヒストリエ』も入れたいところだが。一人一作ということで。
オタクマーケットにおける、90年代後半のアフタヌーンのイメージは『ああっ女神さまっ』『無限の住人』の2つが強かったという記憶がある。次作、『波よ聞いてくれ』もむろん快作で、個人的には『波よ聞いてくれ』のほうが好きだがアフタヌーンという雑誌にとっての重要度という話だと、まあ、順当に『無限の住人』かな、と。
『げんしけん』がベスト10に入るかどうかは評価基準次第というところがあると思う。ヒット作以外のところで、「アフタヌーン」雑誌ブランドのコアとは何かと考えると、サブカル系のマンガ表現の開拓者ですよね、ということだと思う(四季賞含めて)。そのブランドが熱心な雑誌購読者を育んできた雑誌であることは明らかで、その基準で考えると、本作は順当に重要な作品かと思っている。
ひぐちアサは、『おお振り』の前はもっと人間関係がたいへんそうな話を書いていて、ある意味そのときのほうが「いかにもアフタヌーンらしいマンガ」だったが、路線転換をしたのかなと思われた、本作がその後ここまで大きくヒットするのは連載がはじまったときはちょっと想像していなかった。
少年マガジンで連載がはじまったが、ほとんどの連載はアフタヌーン。幸村先生は『プラネテス』(モーニング連載)も代表作とする人もいるとは思うが、順当に考えたら、もう20年近く連載している『ヴィンランド・サガ』だろうかと思う。まあ、この作品がベスト10に入るも、まあ順当か。
この作品がベスト10かというのも、やや判断が割れるとは思うが、基本的には木尾士目『げんしけん』とほぼ同じ観点から。篠房六郎作品であれば、個人的には他の作品も全部入って良いと思っているが、一つ選ぶなら、ヒット作の『百舌谷さん』になるだろうという判断。
黒田硫黄の存在自体が、若い漫画読みから忘れられつつある印象があるが、2000年前後にアフタヌーンを毎月買っていた人間にとって、黒田硫黄の存在感が圧倒的だったのは確かなことだったと思う。捻くれたサブカルだったら「黒田硫黄が好き」とか言うのは、ぜんぜん捻くれてないチョイス過ぎて、言うと恥ずかしいぐらいの存在感だった。宮崎駿御大まで「このおもしろさが判る奴は本物だ」とか、はずかしい推薦の言葉を帯に捧げ、ジブリ系のアニメーターである高坂希太郎監督によって作品の一部がアニメ化もされた(制作はマッドハウス)。『大日本天狗党絵詞』も衝撃的な作品だったが、黒田硫黄の存在感がもっとも強かった時期の作品ということで挙げればこれかと、思う。
個人的に市川春子はそんなにハマっていないのだけれども、客観的に見て、支持の厚さ、連載期間、メディア化、受賞状況などから鑑みて、この作品を入れないわけにはいかないだろうということで。
近年の作品から一つ選ぶなら、まずこれですかね、という感がある。作品自体も登場時に衝撃を受けたが、その後のヒットまでうまく繋がり、人気作に育って本当に良かった。
・蟲師(漆原友紀) 人によっては、こっちを10選にいれる人はけっこういるとは思う。筆頭候補。
・BLAME!(弐瓶勉)弐瓶作品は10本縛りがなければ、どっちかを入れたいところ。個人的に『BLAME!』はアフタヌーンのイメージが強い。
・ハックス!(今井哲也) 今井作品も一つは入れたいところだが…。
・なるたる(鬼頭莫宏) 鬼頭作品なら『ぼくらの』(IKKI)の方が一般に重要作か、ということで除外
・メダリスト(つるまいかだ) 最近の作品でブルーピリオド以外にいれるならこれが筆頭か。
・スキップとローファー(高松美咲) 最近の作品での上位候補。
・勇午(赤名修/真刈信二) 個人的には大好き。塩漬けなど、ミームになるパワーがある作品だと思う。
・Spirit of Wonder(鶴田謙二) 重要作品だとの認識はある
・EDEN(遠藤浩輝) EDEN入れる人もいるとは思うが、だいぶ意見分かれるかな、という印象。
・フラジャイル 病理医岸京一郎の所見(恵三朗/草水 敏)
・あたらしい朝(黒田硫黄)
・五年生(木尾士目)
------
まとめる作業してて思ったが、
「あれ、これアフタヌーンじゃなくて、IKKIなんだっけ?」っていう記憶の間違いがけっこうあった。
・『アンダーカレント』ふつうに意識の外だったけど、雑誌買ってなかった時期に、単行本で読んだので、アフタヌーンという認識ぜんぜんなかった。大変失礼いたしました。位置付け的に確かに入っておかしくない作品だと思う。
「・「ガロ」から「アックス」の境目だったから、ああいうテイストの避難地になってた印象。」とのコメントも、なるほどと思ったので確認したら、ガロがほぼ休刊になったのが、97年7月で、アックスが98年なので、97年~98年スタートの作品ということかな?ちょっとよくわかってない。
・植芝理一『ディスコミュニケーション』が魅力のある作品だとは個人的にも思うが、周囲でこの作品の話してた人ほぼいなかったんだよね。観測範囲の問題かとは思う。
・『大合作』について複数コメントあり、扱いどうすればいいんですかね…
・『神戸在住』もコメント多めで、ここらへんも確かに好きな人多いですよね。
・『地雷震』(髙橋ツトム)の適切な位置付けはあまりよくわかってない。読んではいた。
・『菫画報』はふつうに好きだけど、こういう選のなかに入るような層の厚い評価文脈ってあるの…?
・『ワンダンス』を次点ぐらいには入れてほしいとのこと。ちなみに、個人的に好きというだけだけで言うと、次点にも入れなかったけど、『リンガフランカ』(滝沢 麻耶)は好き。個人的な気持ちとしては清家雪子とかも、もっと売れてほしいなと思っている。
・五十嵐大介は、代表作は『リトル・フォレスト』より、『海獣の子供』(IKKI)のほうなのかな?とぼんやり認識なので、入れなかったけど、認識ぼんやりしてる
・とよ田みのるは、『『これ描いて死ね』』(ゲッサン)のほうが代表作になるかなと思って、いれてない。
・冬目 景は四季賞デビューでアフタヌーン作品複数あるが、『羊のうた』(コミックバーガー、コミックバーズ)『『イエスタデイをうたって』』(ビジネスジャンプ、グランドジャンプ)いずれも他誌
・四季賞受賞したデビュー作の衝撃がすごかったという人が、けっこういるのは完全に同意。四季賞は、他誌の新人作家向けの賞とは明らかに位置付けが異なる賞だと思う。
・あらためて思ったが、アフタヌーン作品の評価文脈はいろいろあって複雑だな、と感じる。ブコメでも書いていただいたが、アフタヌーンは、他の雑誌よりも10選とかやったら、合意とりづらいのはそうだと思う。「これがヒット作です」的な基準の外側に「この文脈ではすげー評価されてるし…!」というような文脈が、いろんな形で存在しているので、合意とりづらいところが、アフタヌーンの良さなんじゃないかとは思っている。
熱量のある反応をいただいていたので。ありがとうございます。

ちなみに、完全に個人的に10選ぶなら、こんな感じだろうかと思う。
高校野球がらみで「日本の学校の校歌は日本語でなければ」などと言っている人がいるけれど、ICU高校の校歌は40年前から英語だよ。
https://icu-h.ed.jp/about_us/school_song.html
(ちなみに眞子さん佳子さんの出身校ICUの校歌も英語だ。日本語歌詞もあるが英語でしか歌われていない。https://www.icu.ac.jp/about/logo/)
補作:野村 威温
Of all the dreams I can search for
Of all the love that is God sent
Of all horizons I will explore
I will pledge to walk
The road of light and learning
With God in me to guide me every day
See me through the narrow
Send me on my way
A future which lies in our hands
A future we will shape and form
A future to make better for man
I will pledge to strive
To work for understanding
No matter what the race or creed may be
Our souls be all the same
We can work for peace abiding
*(Repeat)
この歌詞の2番「人種や信条にかかわらず理解する努力をすることを誓う」って、この排除や差別が横行するご時世には特にすばらしいと感じるよ。
"Aah, the glory of Meiji!" How often do we hear these words, filled with nostalgia for an era that many see as the pinnacle of Japan’s greatness? It’s easy to be seduced by the past, to look back at a time when Japan emerged as a modern nation, strong, unified, and respected on the world stage. The Meiji era is often lauded as a period of unprecedented progress and reform, a time when Japan transformed itself from a feudal society into a major global power. But is this glorification of Meiji truly serving us today, or is it holding us back from facing the realities of the present and the challenges of the future?
There is no denying the achievements of the Meiji era. The rapid modernization, the establishment of a constitutional government, and the successful adaptation of Western technology and ideas were remarkable feats. However, to idealize this period without acknowledging its complexities and flaws is to oversimplify history. The Meiji era was not without its contradictions—authoritarianism, social upheaval, and the seeds of militarism were all part of this narrative. By focusing solely on the glory, we risk ignoring the lessons that history has to offer.
Nostalgia for the Meiji era often comes with a longing for a time when Japan was perceived as strong and united, a beacon of progress in a rapidly changing world. But this nostalgia can be a trap. It encourages us to look backward instead of forward, to seek solutions in the past rather than confronting the challenges of the present. In a world that is constantly evolving, clinging to the past can prevent us from adapting and growing. It can lead to a narrow vision of what Japan can be, limiting our potential to innovate and thrive in the future.
Rather than idealizing the Meiji era as a golden age, we should strive to build upon its lessons while recognizing that the world has changed. The challenges we face today—climate change, technological disruption, social inequality—require new solutions, not old ones. We must be willing to innovate, to think creatively, and to embrace the complexities of the modern world. This means letting go of the romanticized image of Meiji and focusing on what we can achieve now and in the future.
Greatness is not defined by a single era or by clinging to the achievements of the past. True greatness lies in our ability to adapt, to learn from history without being bound by it, and to create a future that reflects the values and aspirations of today’s society. The Meiji era was significant, but it is not the blueprint for our future. Instead of longing for a return to a bygone era, let us redefine what greatness means for Japan in the 21st century.
It is time to move beyond the glorification of Meiji. We can honor the achievements of that era without being trapped by them. Japan’s future lies not in a return to the past, but in embracing the opportunities and challenges of the present. By letting go of the idealized image of Meiji, we can free ourselves to imagine and build a Japan that is not only strong and united but also innovative, compassionate, and forward-thinking. Let us look to the future with the same spirit of determination and vision that once defined the Meiji era, but with a focus on what we can achieve here and now.
Japanese people, the time has come to awaken from the deep slumber that has dulled our senses and weakened our resolve. Are we truly satisfied with our current state, where we have grown complacent and indifferent? The Japan our ancestors once built with pride and determination now appears as a mere shadow of its former self. Where has our pride gone?
We were once a people who stood tall, guided by a strong sense of identity and purpose. Our culture, our traditions, and our way of life were the cornerstones of our nation. Yet today, we find ourselves adrift, losing sight of the values that made us who we are. The influence of foreign ideas and the allure of modernity have eroded the very essence of what it means to be Japanese.
Is this the Japan we wish to pass on to our children? A nation that has forgotten its roots and lost its sense of purpose? We have a duty to reclaim what has been lost. It is not enough to merely remember our heritage; we must actively restore it. We must rise and take action, for the future of our nation depends on it.
We must reject the forces that seek to dilute our identity and reaffirm our commitment to the values that have defined us for centuries—honor, loyalty, and a deep respect for our culture. These ideals must be lived and breathed in every aspect of our lives. Our education, our economy, our society—all must be revitalized with the spirit that once made us great.
This is not a call to return to the past, but rather a call to reclaim our future. Japan must once again stand strong, guided by the unity and resolve of its people. We cannot afford to continue sleepwalking through history. The time to act is now, before it is too late. We must awaken, take responsibility, and strive for greatness, not only for ourselves but for the generations yet to come.
The responsibility to restore Japan’s glory lies with us, the people of Japan. We must not settle for mediocrity; we must pursue excellence in all that we do. The future of our nation is at stake, and we must rise to the challenge. Japanese people, wake up, and let us reclaim the destiny that is rightfully ours. The time for action is now.

It's sudden, but right now in Japan, creativity is facing a true crisis. Characters like Uzaki-chan, Onsen Musume, and Tojo Rika are being targeted and flamed, game character designs are being infiltrated by political correctness, Johnny's Entertainment is being dismantled, swimsuit photo sessions in parks are being canceled, Hitoshi Matsumoto is being publicly shamed, and the new AV law was enacted without considering the opinions of those directly involved. Every form of expression in every venue is currently under unreasonable pressure.
How does this connect to the Tokyo gubernatorial election? In fact, a major event directly linked to this is occurring in the 2024 Tokyo gubernatorial election. As a creator, I hope this message reaches you.
What I am about to share is a story about someone named Himasora Akane, who you should know about to resist such pressures. But before I dive into that story, I want to express my deep gratitude to my old friend Nozomi for giving me the opportunity to post this article in a place where many creators will see it. As someone who also loves manga, anime, and games, I hope this information will benefit Japanese society and support Nozomi's activities.
Himasora Akane Should Be the Governor of Tokyo
First, I would like to make a straightforward request to you as a creator: please support Himasora Akane for governor. In this election, please write "Himasora Akane" on your ballot. The voting day is July 7th. Even if you are not a Tokyo resident, I ask that you at least listen to this story. If you find it interesting, please share it with your friends, family, and acquaintances. You can check Himasora Akane's campaign promises and the background of their candidacy on their Twitter (X) posts linked below:
Himasora Akane (Tokyo gubernatorial candidate)
https://x.com/himasoraakane/status/1804846779399324095
Himasora Akane Will Not Allow Our Culture to Be Burned
Himasora Akane is an ordinary otaku who loves manga, anime, and games. Known as "Cognitive Profiling Detective Akane Himasora," he has been active on Twitter (X) and YouTube, and now he is running for governor. Akane, who is deeply concerned about the repression and destruction of otaku culture, is challenging those who seek to destroy our culture alone. Akane will never allow those who try to burn our culture.
As mentioned at the beginning, all forms of expression are currently under pressure. Otaku culture, in particular, seems to be a prime target.
Uzaki-chan Blood Donation Poster Controversy (2019): A collaboration between the Japanese Red Cross Society and the manga Uzaki-chan was flamed for allegedly being overly sexual in its PR illustration.
V-Tuber Traffic Safety Video Controversy (2021): A V-Tuber hired by the Matsudo Police Department in Chiba Prefecture was deemed too sexual for public agency PR.
Onsen Musume Controversy (2021): Characters personifying local hot springs were criticized as sexist.
Mie Transport Official Character Controversy (2024): A character in a bus driver's uniform released by Mie Transport was flamed for evoking sexual images.
These controversies are often fueled by so-called political correctness and feminism. For creators, these are direct threats. If these factions label your work as sexual and demand it be burned to ashes, could you resist? How would you feel if your painstakingly created work, like your own child, was trampled by people who have no regard for your efforts? Could you continue your creative activities while constantly shrinking away?
Himasora Akane saw something behind these flaming incidents. He started investigating the key figure behind the Onsen Musume controversy, a representative of a general incorporated association in Tokyo. This association's core business, the Young Female Victims Support Project, received substantial public funds from Tokyo. Akane submitted public document disclosure requests to Tokyo and thoroughly dug into the organization. During his investigation, Akane uncovered many suspicions suggesting this project was unworthy of public funding, which he exposed one by one on social media.
Negligent accounting reports, taking protected girls to the Henoko base protest in Okinawa, Communist Party members waiting in the bus used to protect girls—these revelations drew significant attention online. The investigation extended beyond this general incorporated association to other NPOs receiving public funds, and Akane named this cluster of issues the "WBPC problem" after the initials of these organizations.
Akane's YouTube Channel (WBPC Problem Playlist)
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLI5gTciLKtAXRyzv9j5FiNMcc8eoEBbMN
From here, Akane's story expanded to resident audits, resident lawsuits, and national compensation lawsuits concerning the Tokyo Young Female Victims Support Project. Akane discovered that behind many flaming incidents, there is no clear command structure but a group of various political organizations and activists working together like an amoeba. He named this group the "Nanika Group" (Nanika means "something" in Japanese), a reference to the mysterious, ominous "something from another place" in the manga HUNTER×HUNTER, which Akane loves. The Nanika Group is also connected to welfare interests, where public funds flow unchecked. Akane called this phenomenon "Public Fund Chu-Chu" (siphoning).
For creators, this means the tax money they earn through hard work is used to burn their precious works. It's an intolerable situation.
Himasora Akane Is Fighting Against Those Who Burn Our Culture
In November 2022, a major event marked a turning point in this series of controversies. The general incorporated association under scrutiny held a press conference at the parliamentary office building, gathering media and announcing a lawsuit against Akane. This "Legal Harassment Press Conference," as it was called online, involved multiple layers of power: the government, the media, and a team of seven lawyers targeting a single individual.
However, Akane did not back down. Instead, he intensified his pursuit, exploiting the opponent's careless statements as lawsuit fodder. This led to an outpouring of support on social media, with his Twitter follower count skyrocketing and 160 million yen in donations for legal fees.
The following year, a resident audit request filed by Akane resulted in Tokyo's official website recognizing some improper points and deciding to audit the organization. However, Tokyo's lenient audit led Akane to file a resident lawsuit. Suspicion also turned towards Governor Yuriko Koike for allocating public funds through dubious sole-source contracts. Tokyo began excessively redacting documents in response to public document requests, attempting to conceal the issue. Koike's promise to end document redaction quietly disappeared from her campaign page.
Throughout this battle, Akane has been a target of criminal complaints and faced threats, yet he persists. His book "Netoge Senshi" was released amid bookstore threats, but only the criminal complaint was widely reported by the media, portraying Akane negatively.
Himasora Akane is an ordinary otaku, a top-tier online gamer during his student days, and a talented game creator who worked for a major game company and later a venture company. His meticulous work on the game "Shin Goku no Valhalla Gate" was betrayed by the company's CEO, leading to a seven-year legal battle that Akane ultimately won, securing 600 million yen. This experience fuels his fierce opposition to having his creations burned.
Before investigating the Young Female Victims Support Project, Akane exposed fraudulent feminist "knights" on his YouTube channel, shaking the internet. He detests lies and has an uncanny ability to detect them.
Akane is a special individual with extraordinary abilities, honed through his experiences in games, court battles, and extensive document analysis. His pursuit of truth and justice makes him a suitable candidate for governor, promising a world without lies and where honest people do not suffer.
What We Can Do to Protect Our Culture
Creative expression can be crushed if we are not vigilant. Even in modern Japan, otaku culture is on thin ice. The recent cessation of Visa transactions for DMM (Fanza) is a reminder of how a single card company can wield its power to dictate what is deemed appropriate expression. Expression freedom is fragile and constantly under threat.
To those reading this, I urge you to vote for Himasora Akane. Support him to protect our culture. Despite his harsh demeanor and preference for solitary battles, he is now seeking help for the first time. Akane feels the danger in this gubernatorial election and believes that if he does not become governor, everything will end. He has taken a stand for the people of Tokyo and Japan.
I wrote this article to support his spirit and spread the word. Please vote for Himasora Akane and help create a miracle.
To you, the creator, I sincerely hope this message reaches you.

ロックの代表曲として有名なイメージとは裏腹に、矛盾するものを並べて劣等感を自嘲する、
めちゃくちゃにネクラで嫌味で自己愛の強い歌っぽいので、そんな感じで訳してみた。
洋楽によくある「クソくらえだぜ、ってんだ」系の訳がこんなにも似合わない歌だとは。
ちなみに「teen spirit」は女性用デオドラントの商品名で、
カートコバーンの当時の彼女と女友達の間で、teen spiritってどんな名前だよって流れから「カートはteen spiritの匂いがする」とからかわれたんだけど、それを知らずにすげーかっこいい言葉だなと勘違いしてつけたタイトルらしい。
The Sacrament—and the Sacrifice
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
I pray for your faith and prayers that my utterances will be received and understood “by the Spirit of truth” and that my expressions will be given “by the Spirit of truth” so that we might all be “edified and rejoice together.” (See D&C 50:21–22.)
As I stand here today—a well man—words of gratitude and acknowledgment of divine intervention are so very inadequate in expressing the feelings in my soul.
Six months ago at the April general conference, I was excused from speaking as I was convalescing from a serious operation. My life has been spared, and I now have the pleasant opportunity of acknowledging the blessings, comfort, and ready aid of my Brethren in the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve, and other wonderful associates and friends to whom I owe so much and who surrounded my dear wife, Ruby, and my family with their time, attention, and prayers. For the inspired doctors and thoughtful nurses I express my deepest gratitude, and for the thoughtful letters and messages of faith and hope received from many places in the world, many expressing, “You have been in our prayers” or “We have been asking our Heavenly Father to spare your life.” Your prayers and mine, thankfully, have been answered.
One unusual card caused me to ponder upon the majesty of it all. It is an original painting by Arta Romney Ballif of the heavens at night with its myriad golden stars. Her caption, taken from Psalms, reads:
“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
“He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
“… His understanding is infinite.” (Ps. 147:1, 3–5.)
As I lay in the hospital bed, I meditated on all that had happened to me and studied the contemplative painting by President Marion G. Romney’s sister and the lines from Psalms: “He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.” I was then—and continue to be—awed by the goodness and majesty of the Creator, who knows not only the names of the stars but knows your name and my name—each of us as His sons and daughters.
“When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? …
“For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.” (Ps. 8:3–5.)
To be remembered is a wonderful thing.
The evening of my health crisis, I knew something very serious had happened to me. Events happened so swiftly—the pain striking with such intensity, my dear Ruby phoning the doctor and our family, and I on my knees leaning over the bathtub for support and some comfort and hoped relief from the pain. I was pleading to my Heavenly Father to spare my life a while longer to give me a little more time to do His work, if it was His will.
While still praying, I began to lose consciousness. The siren of the paramedic truck was the last that I remembered before unconsciousness overtook me, which would last for the next several days.
The terrible pain and commotion of people ceased. I was now in a calm, peaceful setting; all was serene and quiet. I was conscious of two persons in the distance on a hillside, one standing on a higher level than the other. Detailed features were not discernible. The person on the higher level was pointing to something I could not see.
I heard no voices but was conscious of being in a holy presence and atmosphere. During the hours and days that followed, there was impressed again and again upon my mind the eternal mission and exalted position of the Son of Man. I witness to you that He is Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, Savior to all, Redeemer of all mankind, Bestower of infinite love, mercy, and forgiveness, the Light and Life of the world. I knew this truth before—I had never doubted nor wondered. But now I knew, because of the impressions of the Spirit upon my heart and soul, these divine truths in a most unusual way.
I was shown a panoramic view of His earthly ministry: His baptism, His teaching, His healing the sick and lame, the mock trial, His crucifixion, His resurrection and ascension. There followed scenes of His earthly ministry to my mind in impressive detail, confirming scriptural eyewitness accounts. I was being taught, and the eyes of my understanding were opened by the Holy Spirit of God so as to behold many things.
The first scene was of the Savior and His Apostles in the upper chamber on the eve of His betrayal. Following the Passover supper, He instructed and prepared the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper for His dearest friends as a remembrance of His coming sacrifice. It was so impressively portrayed to me—the overwhelming love of the Savior for each. I witnessed His thoughtful concern for significant details—the washing of the dusty feet of each Apostle, His breaking and blessing of the loaf of dark bread and blessing of the wine, then His dreadful disclosure that one would betray Him.
He explained Judas’s departure and told the others of the events soon to take place.
Then followed the Savior’s solemn discourse when He said to the Eleven: “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33.)
Our Savior prayed to His Father and acknowledged the Father as the source of His authority and power—even to the extending of eternal life to all who are worthy.
He prayed, “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
Jesus then reverently added:
“I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
“And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.” (John 17:3–5.)
He pled not only for the disciples called out from the world who had been true to their testimony of Him, “but for them also which shall believe on me through their word.” (John 17:20.)
When they had sung a hymn, Jesus and the Eleven went out to the Mount of Olives. There, in the garden, in some manner beyond our comprehension, the Savior took upon Himself the burden of the sins of mankind from Adam to the end of the world. His agony in the garden, Luke tells us, was so intense “his sweat was as … great drops of blood falling … to the ground.” (Luke 22:44.) He suffered an agony and a burden the like of which no human person would be able to bear. In that hour of anguish our Savior overcame all the power of Satan.
The glorified Lord revealed to Joseph Smith this admonition to all mankind:
“Therefore I command you to repent …
“For … I, God, … suffered … for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent; …
“Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, …
“Wherefore, I command you again to repent, lest I humble you with my almighty power; and that you confess your sins, lest you suffer these punishments.” (D&C 19:15–16, 18, 20.)
During those days of unconsciousness I was given, by the gift and power of the Holy Ghost, a more perfect knowledge of His mission. I was also given a more complete understanding of what it means to exercise, in His name, the authority to unlock the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven for the salvation of all who are faithful. My soul was taught over and over again the events of the betrayal, the mock trial, the scourging of the flesh of even one of the Godhead. I witnessed His struggling up the hill in His weakened condition carrying the cross and His being stretched upon it as it lay on the ground, that the crude spikes could be driven with a mallet into His hands and wrists and feet to secure His body as it hung on the cross for public display.
Crucifixion—the horrible and painful death which He suffered—was chosen from the beginning. By that excruciating death, He descended below all things, as is recorded, that through His resurrection He would ascend above all things. (See D&C 88:6.)
Jesus Christ died in the literal sense in which we will all die. His body lay in the tomb. The immortal spirit of Jesus, chosen as the Savior of mankind, went to those myriads of spirits who had departed mortal life with varying degrees of righteousness to God’s laws. He taught them the “glorious tidings of redemption from the bondage of death, and of possible salvation, … [which was] part of [our] Savior’s foreappointed and unique service to the human family.” (James E. Talmage, Jesus the Christ, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1977, p. 671.)
I cannot begin to convey to you the deep impact that these scenes have confirmed upon my soul. I sense their eternal meaning and realize that “nothing in the entire plan of salvation compares in any way in importance with that most transcendent of all events, the atoning sacrifice of our Lord. It is the most important single thing that has ever occurred in the entire history of created things; it is the rock foundation upon which the gospel and all other things rest,” as has been declared. (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1966, p. 60.)
Father Lehi taught his son Jacob and us today:
“Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah; for he is full of grace and truth.
“Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit; and unto none else can the ends of the law be answered.
“Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah, who layeth down his life according to the flesh, and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit, that he may bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, being the first that should rise.
“Wherefore, he is the firstfruits unto God, inasmuch as he shall make intercession for all the children of men; and they that believe in him shall be saved.” (2 Ne. 2:6–9.)
Our most valuable worship experience in the sacrament meeting is the sacred ordinance of the sacrament, for it provides the opportunity to focus our minds and hearts upon the Savior and His sacrifice.
The Apostle Paul warned the early Saints against eating this bread and drinking this cup of the Lord unworthily. (See 1 Cor. 11:27–30.)
Our Savior Himself instructed the Nephites, “Whoso eateth and drinketh my flesh and blood unworthily [brings] damnation to his soul.” (3 Ne. 18:29.)
Worthy partakers of the sacrament are in harmony with the Lord and put themselves under covenant with Him to always remember His sacrifice for the sins of the world, to take upon them the name of Christ and to always remember Him, and to keep His commandments. The Savior covenants that we who do so shall have His spirit to be with us and that, if faithful to the end, we may inherit eternal life.
Our Lord revealed to Joseph Smith that “there is no gift greater than the gift of salvation,” which plan includes the ordinance of the sacrament as a continuous reminder of the Savior’s atoning sacrifice. He gave instructions that “it is expedient that the church meet together often to partake of bread and wine in the remembrance of the Lord Jesus.” (D&C 6:13; D&C 20:75.)
Immortality comes to us all as a free gift by the grace of God alone, without works of righteousness. Eternal life, however, is the reward for obedience to the laws and ordinances of His gospel.
I testify to all of you that our Heavenly Father does answer our righteous pleadings. The added knowledge which has come to me has made a great impact upon my life. The gift of the Holy Ghost is a priceless possession and opens the door to our ongoing knowledge of God and eternal joy. Of this I bear witness, in the holy name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Mitsuhide's ambition and desire for power began to cloud his judgment.
Yasuke sensed the shift in Mitsuhide's demeanor and grew increasingly wary of the samurai lord. However, loyalty to Nobunaga prevented him from openly voicing his concerns. He instead focused on his duties, ever vigilant and ready to protect his lord at a moment's notice.
One fateful evening, the Oda clan gathered to celebrate their recent victories. Unbeknownst to the revelers, Mitsuhide Akechi's treacherous plan was already in motion.
As the sun rose, the first cries of battle rang out. Mitsuhide's forces had launched a surprise attack on Nobunaga's residence at the Honno-ji Temple. Yasuke fought his way to Nobunaga's side, his sword cutting through the trait "

Chapter 7: Whispers of Betrayal
Yasuke's renown as a skilled and devoted samurai expanded, as did his connection with Lord Nobunaga. But beneath the surface, a storm was brewing. Mitsuhide Akechi, once a staunch ally, had grown disillusioned with Nobunaga's leadership. His bitterness festered, fed by perceived slights and political machinations. Consumed by ambition and lust for power, Mitsuhide's judgment faltered.
Chapter 8: The Price of Loyalty

With a heavy heart, he whispered a prayer for Nobunaga's soul, knowing that his lord would never surrender.
Chapter 11: A Promise Unbroken
As the temple crumbled around them, Yasuke was captured by Mitsuhide's soldiers. Imprisoned and stripped of his samurai status, he reflected on the path that had led him to this moment. Amidst the darkness, he found solace in the memories of his life with Nobunaga and his time as a missionary. A fire kindled within him, reigniting a long-forgotten purpose.
Chapter 12: The Road to Redemption
In the chaos following Mitsuhide's coup, Yasuke seized an opportunity to escape. He journeyed across war-torn Japan, seeking refuge and a chance to reclaim his former life. His determination and faith guided him, as did the memory of the missionaries who had once saved him from a life of slavery.
Chapter 13: Rebirth of a Missionary
Yasuke found solace and purpose among a group of missionaries in a remote village. Embracing his past, he became an instrumental figure in their community, sharing his knowledge of Christianity, languages, and the Western world. As he nurtured their faith, Yasuke felt the shadows of his life as a samurai slowly fade, replaced by the warm embrace of spiritual fulfillment.
Chapter 14: A Legacy Unforgotten
Though Yasuke had left the life of a warrior behind, the legend of the African samurai continued to grow. His story inspired generations, a testament to the power of resilience, courage, and the human spirit. It was a tale that transcended borders and time, a reminder that even in the darkest moments, hope and redemption could be found.
Epilogue:
As twilight draped the Japanese countryside, Yasuke stood atop a hill, gazing at the village he now called home. His journey had been one of unimaginable hardship, transformation, and ultimately, redemption. And as the sun dipped below the horizon, Yasuke knew that his story, like the sun's eternal cycle, would continue to inspire and illuminate the hearts of those who heard it.

Title: The Black Samurai: Yasuke's Odyssey
Prologue: Whispers of a Stranger
The year was 1579. The shores of Kyoto were caressed by the gentle waves of the Sea of Japan, as a strange vessel approached. Aboard the ship, a tall, dark-skinned man with the bearing of a warrior stood, gazing upon the foreign land that would soon become his home. His name was Yasuke, and he had been brought to Japan by the Jesuit missionaries, sold into servitude and torn from his African homeland.
Chapter 1: Nobunaga's Curiosity
Yasuke's arrival in Kyoto was met with awe and fascination. His ebony skin, unlike anything the Japanese had ever seen, drew the attention of the powerful daimyo Oda Nobunaga. Intrigued by the foreigner's strength and demeanor, Nobunaga requested a meeting with Yasuke. The two men found a mutual respect for each other's warrior spirit, and thus, Yasuke was granted a position in Nobunaga's service.
Chapter 2: The Path of the Samurai
As Yasuke adapted to his new life, he faced many challenges. He struggled to learn the language and customs, as well as the intricacies of the samurai code, Bushido. Despite the adversity, his determination to prove himself to Nobunaga and the other samurai never wavered. Gradually, Yasuke honed his skills in swordsmanship and strategy, earning the respect of his peers and the title of samurai.
Chapter 3: A Warrior's Bond
Yasuke's service to Nobunaga brought him into contact with many prominent figures of the time, including Mitsuhide Akechi, a cunning and ambitious samurai lord. While their friendship was built on mutual admiration and shared experiences on the battlefield, a lingering mistrust lingered beneath the surface. Yasuke could not shake the feeling that Mitsuhide's ambitions would one day prove to be a grave threat to Nobunaga and his empire.
Chapter 4: The Taste of Betrayal
The year was 1582. The air hung heavy with tension as Yasuke rode beside Nobunaga to the Honno-ji temple in Kyoto. Unbeknownst to them, Mitsuhide Akechi had orchestrated a coup against Nobunaga, his forces surrounding the temple and setting it ablaze. Trapped within the inferno, Nobunaga chose to commit seppuku, entrusting Yasuke with his sword and his final words.
Chapter 5: The Black Samurai's Vengeance
As the flames consumed the temple, Yasuke vowed to avenge Nobunaga's death. He fought his way out of the burning temple, cutting down Mitsuhide's men with the ferocity of a wounded tiger. In a final confrontation with Mitsuhide, Yasuke's loyalty and honor as a samurai shone through, but he was ultimately captured and spared by Mitsuhide, who could not bring himself to kill the man he had once called a friend.
Epilogue: The Legend Endures
With Nobunaga's death, Yasuke's fate was uncertain. The events that followed his confrontation with Mitsuhide would become the stuff

みなさんこんにちは。
過去1週間で、COVID-19のケースが急速にエスカレートしました。
現在、中国よりも他の地域で多くの症例と死亡が報告されています。
また、学校を閉鎖したり、スポーツイベントやその他の集会をキャンセルしたりするなど、社会的距離の測定が急速に拡大していることも確認しています。
しかし、テスト、隔離、および連絡先の追跡における緊急の十分なエスカレーションは確認されていません。これは、応答のバックボーンです。
社会的距離測定は、伝播を減らし、医療システムが対処できるようにするのに役立ちます。
ひじに手を洗って咳をすることで、あなた自身や他の人のリスクを減らすことができます。
しかし、彼らだけでは、このパンデミックを消すのに十分ではありません。違いを生むのは組み合わせです。
私が言い続けているように、すべての国は包括的なアプローチをとらなければなりません。
しかし、感染を防ぎ、命を救う最も効果的な方法は、感染の連鎖を断ち切ることです。そして、それを行うには、テストして分離する必要があります。
目隠しされた火と戦うことはできません。そして、誰が感染しているかわからなければ、このパンデミックを止めることはできません。
テスト、テスト、テスト:すべての国に簡単なメッセージがあります。
検査結果が陽性の場合、それらを隔離し、症状が発現する2日前までに密接に接触していた人を見つけ、それらの人も検査します。[注:WHOは、COVID-19の症状を示す場合にのみ、確認されたケースの連絡先をテストすることを推奨しています]
毎日、世界的な需要を満たすために、より多くのテストが作成されています。
WHOは120か国にほぼ150万のテストを出荷しています。私たちは企業と協力して、最も困っている人のためにテストの可用性を高めています。
WHOは、感染を予防し、適切なケアを提供するために、確認されたすべての症例は、軽度の症例であっても、医療施設で隔離されるべきだと助言しています。
しかし、多くの国がすでに専用の医療施設で軽度の症例をケアする能力を超えていることを認識しています。
そのような状況では、国々は高齢の患者と基礎疾患のある患者を優先すべきです。
いくつかの国では、スタジアムとジムを使用して軽度の症例をケアし、重症で重大な症例を病院でケアすることで能力を拡大しています。
別の選択肢は、軽度の病気の患者を自宅で隔離して世話をすることです。
感染した人を自宅でケアすることは、他の人を同じ家庭に危険にさらす可能性があります。そのため、できる限り安全にケアを提供する方法について、介護者がWHOのガイダンスに従うことが重要です。
たとえば、患者と介護者の両方が同じ部屋にいるときは、医療用マスクを着用する必要があります。
患者は、他の人とは別の寝室で寝て、別の浴室を使用する必要があります。
一人の患者、理想的には健康で基礎疾患のない人をケアする人を割り当てます。
介護者は、患者またはその身近な環境に触れた後、手を洗う必要があります。
COVID-19に感染した人は、気分が悪くなった後でも他の人に感染する可能性があるため、これらの対策は症状が消えてから少なくとも2週間は継続する必要があります。
===
繰り返しますが、重要なメッセージは、テスト、テスト、テストです。
これは深刻な病気です。私たちが持っている証拠は、60歳以上の人が最も危険にさらされていることを示唆していますが、子供を含む若者は死にました。
WHOは、子供、高齢者、妊婦のケア方法に関する具体的な詳細を含む新しい臨床ガイダンスを発行しました。
これまでのところ、先進的な医療システムを備えた国で流行が見られました。しかし、彼らも対処するのに苦労しています。
ウイルスが低所得国に移動するにつれて、HIV感染率の高い人口や栄養失調の子供たちにウイルスが与える影響について深く懸念しています。
だからこそ、私たちはすべての国とすべての人に、感染を止めるためにできる限りのことをするよう呼びかけています。
手を洗うことは、感染のリスクを減らすのに役立ちます。しかし、それは連帯の行為でもあります。なぜなら、あなたのコミュニティや世界中の人々に感染するリスクを減らすからです。自分のために、他の人のために。
また、医薬品などの不可欠なアイテムを買いだめすることを控えることにより、連帯を表現するよう人々に求めます。
買いだめは薬や他の必須製品の不足を引き起こし、苦痛を悪化させる可能性があります。
COVID-19連帯対応基金に貢献したすべての人に感謝します。
金曜日にローンチして以来、110,000人を超える人々が約1,900万米ドルを寄付しました。
これらの資金は、診断テスト、医療従事者向けの消耗品の購入、研究開発の支援に役立ちます。
貢献したい場合は、who.intにアクセスして、ページ上部のオレンジ色の「寄付」ボタンをクリックしてください。
また、社会のさまざまな部門が集まっていることにも感謝しています。
これはSafeHands Challengeから始まりました。このチャレンジは、有名人、世界のリーダー、そしてあらゆる場所で手を洗う方法を示す人々を魅了しました。
今日の午後、WHOと国際商工会議所は、グローバルなビジネスコミュニティに共同で行動を呼びかけました。ICCは、従業員、顧客、地域社会を保護し、不可欠な物資の生産と流通をサポートするために、4500万を超える企業のネットワークに定期的なアドバイスを送信します。
ポールポルマン、アジャイバンガ、ジョンデントンのサポートとコラボレーションに感謝します。
また、WHOはGlobal Citizenと協力して、世界中の主要なミュージシャンとの一連のバーチャルコンサートであるSolidarity Sessionsを立ち上げています。
===
今後数日、数週間、数か月は、私たちの決意のテスト、科学への信頼のテスト、そして連帯のテストになります。
このような危機は、人類に最高と最悪をもたらす傾向があります。
私と同じように、バルコニーから医療従事者を称賛する人々のビデオや、地域の高齢者のために食料品の買い物をすることを申し出ている人々の物語に感動したと確信しています。
人間の連帯というこの驚くべき精神は、ウイルス自体よりもさらに感染力を高めなければなりません。しばらくは物理的に離れていなければならないかもしれませんが、これまでにない方法で一緒に集まることができます。
私たちは皆一緒にいます。そして、私たちは一緒にしか成功できません。
ありがとうございました。
WHO Director-General's opening remarks at the media briefing on COVID-19 - 16 March 2020
16 March 2020
In the past week, we have seen a rapid escalation of cases of COVID-19.
More cases and deaths have now been reported in the rest of the world than in China.
We have also seen a rapid escalation in social distancing measures, like closing schools and cancelling sporting events and other gatherings.
But we have not seen an urgent enough escalation in testing, isolation and contact tracing – which is the backbone of the response.
Social distancing measures can help to reduce transmission and enable health systems to cope.
Handwashing and coughing into your elbow can reduce the risk for yourself and others.
But on their own, they are not enough to extinguish this pandemic. It’s the combination that makes the difference.
As I keep saying, all countries must take a comprehensive approach.
But the most effective way to prevent infections and save lives is breaking the chains of transmission. And to do that, you must test and isolate.
You cannot fight a fire blindfolded. And we cannot stop this pandemic if we don’t know who is infected.
We have a simple message for all countries: test, test, test.
If they test positive, isolate them and find out who they have been in close contact with up to 2 days before they developed symptoms, and test those people too. [NOTE: WHO recommends testing contacts of confirmed cases only if they show symptoms of COVID-19]
Every day, more tests are being produced to meet the global demand.
WHO has shipped almost 1.5 million tests to 120 countries. We’re working with companies to increase the availability of tests for those most in need.
WHO advises that all confirmed cases, even mild cases, should be isolated in health facilities, to prevent transmission and provide adequate care.
But we recognize that many countries have already exceeded their capacity to care for mild cases in dedicated health facilities.
In that situation, countries should prioritize older patients and those with underlying conditions.
Some countries have expanded their capacity by using stadiums and gyms to care for mild cases, with severe and critical cases cared for in hospitals.
Another option is for patients with mild disease to be isolated and cared for at home.
Caring for infected people at home may put others in the same household at risk, so it’s critical that care-givers follow WHO’s guidance on how to provide care as safely as possible.
For example, both the patient and their care-giver should wear a medical mask when they are together in the same room.
The patient should sleep in a separate bedroom to others and use a different bathroom.
Assign one person to care for the patient, ideally someone who is in good health and has no underlying conditions.
The care-giver should wash their hands after any contact with the patient or their immediate environment.
People infected with COVID-19 can still infect others after they stop feeling sick, so these measures should continue for at least two weeks after symptoms disappear.
Visitors should not be allowed until the end of this period.
There are more details in WHO’s guidance.
===
Once again, our key message is: test, test, test.
This is a serious disease. Although the evidence we have suggests that those over 60 are at highest risk, young people, including children, have died.
WHO has issued new clinical guidance, with specific details on how to care for children, older people and pregnant women.
So far, we have seen epidemics in countries with advanced health systems. But even they have struggled to cope.
As the virus moves to low-income countries, we're deeply concerned about the impact it could have among populations with high HIV prevalence, or among malnourished children.
That’s why we’re calling on every country and every individual to do everything they can to stop transmission.
Washing your hands will help to reduce your risk of infection. But it’s also an act of solidarity because it reduces the risk you will infect others in your community and around the world. Do it for yourself, do it for others.
We also ask people to express their solidarity by refraining from hoarding essential items, including medicines.
Hoarding can create shortages of medicines and other essential products, which can exacerbate suffering.
We’re grateful to everyone who has contributed to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
Since we launched it on Friday, more than 110,000 people have contributed almost 19 million U.S. dollars.
These funds will help to buy diagnostic tests, supplies for health workers and support research and development.
If you would like to contribute, please go to who.int and click on the orange “Donate” button at the top of the page.
We’re also grateful for the way different sectors of society are coming together.
This started with the SafeHands Challenge, which has attracted celebrities, world leaders and people everywhere demonstrating how to wash their hands.
This afternoon WHO and the International Chamber of Commerce issued a joint call to action to the global business community. The ICC will send regular advice to its network of more than 45 million businesses, to protect their workers, customers and local communities, and to support the production and distribution of essential supplies.
I’d like to thank Paul Polman, Ajay Banga and John Denton for their support and collaboration.
WHO is also working with Global Citizen to launch the Solidarity Sessions, a series of virtual concerts with leading musicians from around the world.
===
This is the defining global health crisis of our time.
The days, weeks and months ahead will be a test of our resolve, a test of our trust in science, and a test of solidarity.
Crises like this tend to bring out the best and worst in humanity.
Like me, I’m sure you have been touched by the videos of people applauding health workers from their balconies, or the stories of people offering to do grocery shopping for older people in their community.
This amazing spirit of human solidarity must become even more infectious than the virus itself. Although we may have to be physically apart from each other for a while, we can come together in ways we never have before.
We’re all in this together. And we can only succeed together.
So the rule of the game is: together.
Thank you.
