Nezha Reborn annotations - Part 2
Part 1|Part 3
Monkey asks Yunxiang whether his dad ever told him the story of Nezha conquering the dragon king when he was a kid. Most Chinese people will probably remember this story from the 1979 animation of the same title that was adapted from chapter 14 of Investiture of the Gods.
More product displacement: Smirnoff, what looks to be Suntory Royal and if you zoom in on the Jack Daniels, it reads “Made in Light Chaser” lol
Primordial Spirit or “god-body” is something you’ll see a lot in the New Gods universe. Known in Chinese as yuanshen (元神), it is a concept in Daoism defined to be a level of existence surpassing that of physical existence, capable of existing independently in the form of a soul. It is viewed to be the center and essence of a human's existence.
Monkey breaks the fourth wall
This quote comes from Liu An’s poem Nüwa mending the heavens (女娲补天), delivered Peking Opera style, down to the mannerisms. The caged bird could be a thrush or a lark. Bird keeping is a traditional hobby in Beijing that started in the Qing Dynasty and songbirds were usually kept in these cylindrical cages.
I shouldn’t have laughed so hard when he accidentally killed the glasses monkey and continued his business like nothing happened.
“Fire imp” (葫芦老四) is the fourth of the seven Calabash Brothers, a classic Chinese cartoon from the 80s. Each bro has a unique power, and bro #4’s power is the ability to control fire. The snake demoness is an integral part of that story, so Light Chaser’s White Snake movies might actually be set in the same universe?????
Chan and Jie are religions featured in IOTG. Chan Daoism was founded by Yuanshi Tianzun (Primeval Lord of Heaven) and Laozi, and Yang Jian is one of its disciples. Jie is a fictional religion headed by Tongtian.
The most unfortunate character in this movie has got to be this monkey.
“Are your training methods even legit?”
Where did he get so much water? I thought water was being sanctioned.
RIP this monkey again.
He built his own version of Nezha’s spear.
The Six-Eared Macaque is arguably the most dangerous antagonist in Journey to the West. This deceptive creature impersonated Sun Wukong after the Monkey King abandoned his pilgrimage following a tiff with Tripitaka, with the impersonation so perfect, only Gautama Buddha and Diting could see through the pretense.
Nezha’s primordial spirit manifests as his three-headed, six-armed form.
Nezha is traditionally depicted with his four Astras - the Wind Fire Wheels (风火轮) under his feet, the Cosmic Ring (乾坤圈) around his body, the Sky Ribbon (浑天绫) around his shoulders and a Fire-tipped Spear (火尖枪) in his right hand.
This man has gills.
The Yaksa Li Gen is described as a lizard like creature with long mercury red hair, protruding fangs, and a face the color of indigo. (IOTG chapter 12).
Netflix's thirst trap of a thumbnail is from a scene that lasted ONE WHOLE SECOND.
It’s hilarious how this guy was just credited as “the traitor”.
The art deco style of the crystal palace 👌
In 2013, archaeologists unearthed a 1000 year old statue in Sichuan in that depicted a beast resembling a rhinoceros. This was believed to be the water-suppressing mythological beast Zhenshui Shenshou (镇水神兽) that was documented in the Biography of Shu Kings Written by Yang Xiong in Han Dynasty.
“I taught him? I don’t even have disciples! Stop joking.”
Dragons kind of have a low status in heaven (no matter how majestic they are, they are still beasts and all beasts are looked down upon by the gods), unlike in the mortal realm where they are revered.
Even in his dragon form, Ao Bing’s spinal column is supported by metal bracing.

Nezha reborn spoilers
I am a firm believer that Ao Guang was having an anxiety attack the whole movie after Wukong ate his Fucking assassin(forgot which one it was).
Like imagine this realy mysterius and powerfull guy just brings the corpse of your henchmen to his leir and COOKS it! Offer you a bite too. No shame at all, no fuck given
If you survive long enough for him to reincarnate, you bet that will be very awkward and the raise is gonna be HIGH
Wukong: no i wont kill that kid, man, now sit down and have your own people for dinner, damn it.
I dont care how powerfull you are, that would mess you up fr

Hi, i don't know if you still do NeZha Reborn or are still taking requests but here goes nothing I guess.
I was wondering if I could request a headcanon on how Ao Bing would feel and act if he found out that his S/O who is also his betrothed is actually the reincarnation of his mate from his past life. Who was a dragon that also died at Nezha's hands because of them trying to avenge his death.
Moreover, he also finds out that S/O is best friends with Yunxiang.
ft. ao bing
with gender-neutral reader.
genre: i. honestly do not know.
a/n: sorry for taking so long to get to your req!! but tysm for the nezha reborn req bc i’ve been wanting to write for it for so long but i just never get the chance. i was so excited for this!

• you and ao bing were soulmates, really. throughout all of your lifetimes, you’ve always managed to find each other no matter what. sometimes neither of you would know right away, but you’d still get that weirdly familiar tingle whenever you were both in proximity of each other—and just knew that that person was important somehow.
• sometimes it would take years and years until you’d finally meet, but thankfully, it didn’t take long to find each other this time—early enough to be able to get engaged at your mid-twenties.
• in your previous life, you died to nezha after trying to avenge ao bing’s death. and ao bing didn’t hear this from you, actually, it was relayed to him by his father, and it gave him even more reason and determination to defeat yunxiang.
• it was easier said than done, because, ao bing found out, yunxiang happened to be your best friend.
• which made him furious, needless to say.
• ao bing wasn’t sure if you made amends with him, or if you just seemingly forgot (he assumed it was the latter, because why would you make amends with someone who’s killed you before?)—but regardless of what the situation was, he. did not. like it.
• you’ve also seemed to remember everything apart from the tensions nezha and him had, which made things more difficult for ao bing.
• he felt like he was reaching, but he couldn’t help but think that yunxiang was trying to lure you in just to kill you like he’s done in his previous lifetime, and because of this, ao bing grew protective of you.
• he’d scowl any time you mentioned him. sometimes he’d ask you, “are you sure he’s safe to be around?” to which you’d assure that yunxiang was perfectly fine.
• he would, subtly, try to steer you away from yunxiang—introduce you to people, try to silently encourage you to be friends with literally anyone but his lifelong enemy. despite his attempts, it wouldn’t work.

Yue surprises everyone by saying her favorite character of anything ever is not an ingenue or romantic hero, but Ao Bing from New Gods: Nezha reborn because "the sexy prosthetic spine is so gender"

New Gods: Nezha Reborn’s cyberpunk aesthetic was great because the creators really understood that historical and mythological Nezha was, at his core, punk. So when they translated that to a futuristic context they immediately gave him a motorbike and boy racing and leather jackets and water smuggling and saying no to hush money, because even if the original stories decry it, punish Nezha for acting out and fighting, that’s still what Nezha is remembered for -- Nezha was counter-culture, Nezha was anti-authority, Nezha was do-it-yourself, Nezha was the definition of Direct Action.
Nezha was and is, eternally young.
