Ne Zha English Sub & Dub

About Ne Zha

Here is what Ne Zha (Nezha Zhi Mo Tong Jiang Shi) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, fantasy and comedy anime by October Media (2019). The premise: From the heavenly object known as the Chaos Pearl, two elements are extracted: the Spirit Pearl and the Demon Orb. In an attempt to suppress their power, the Lord of Heaven sends the Spirit Pearl to Earth to reincarnate as Ne Zha, the third son of Li Jing, while the Demon Orb is scheduled to be destroyed by a lightning strike.

Next up: However, because of a conspiracy by the Dragon King to steal the Spirit Pearl for his own son, Ne Zha is instead reincarnated with the Demon Orb. With no way to remove the cursed effects of the Demon Orb, Ne Zha is raised under the belief that he will become the great demon hunter the Spirit Pearl destined for him to be. Fighting against his chaotic and mischievous nature, Ne Zha has to decide whether to accept his evil fate or rebel against it to prove he is worthy of the future his parents foretold.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list.

Production & Appeal
