Analysis of cases involving transformation and disguise in visualizing relationships between characters

Abstract

In movies, anime, special effects works, and other works in which multiple characters appear, visualization of relationships is a method of visualizing how the characters are related to each other. Visualization of entanglement is a diagram obtained by counting the number of scenes in a story where characters meet or accompany each other, and calculating using a dynamic model that attaches springs between the characters for the number of times. In this case, there are some scenes where it is difficult to simply determine that the characters are accompanying each other. Among these, in this study, we analyzed and summarized the types in which the characters transform or disguise themselves.
