The Laughing Hero: Stylistic and Semiotic Resonance in Ryusho Nemoto’s Sentai Hero

This paper explores Ryusho Nemoto’s Sentai Hero as a post–postmodern literary ex- periment that unites comedy, myth, and philosophy through the framework of the Tenson Theory. By examining stylistic evolution, semiotic inversion, and the emergence of a “proto-language” (zzz), the work demonstrates how a text can become a self-resonant field of energy and information. We formulate this process mathematically via the Tenson Equation: ∇·(????+????????)= 0, where???? denotes the narrative’s energetic drive (action, rhythm) and???? its informational phase (reflection, irony). The hero’s laughter, the collapse of syntax, and the final return to primordial sound are interpreted as manifestations of literary resonance in equilibrium.

Abstract

This paper explores Ryusho Nemoto’s Sentai Hero as a post–postmodern literary ex- periment that unites comedy, myth, and philosophy through the framework of the Tenson Theory. By examining stylistic evolution, semiotic inversion, and the emergence of a “proto-language” (zzz), the work demonstrates how a text can become a self-resonant field of energy and information. We formulate this process mathematically via the Tenson Equation: ∇·(????+????????)= 0, where???? denotes the narrative’s energetic drive (action, rhythm) and???? its informational phase (reflection, irony). The hero’s laughter, the collapse of syntax, and the final return to primordial sound are interpreted as manifestations of literary resonance in equilibrium.
