Ne Zha (哪吒之魔童降世)

After millennia of nurturing, the spiritual energies of heaven and eart

produced the Chaos Pearl.

It gluttonously siphoned the essence of the sun and the moon

and its power continued to grow.

But the energy it absorbed varied too greatly.

Its immortal and demon energies blended together,

blurring the line between good and evil.

My master sent me and a fellow disciple

to subdue it.

Yes, that's me,

the revered Taiyi Zhenren.

I may have a bit of baby fat,

but that doesn't hide my stunning handsomeness.

Chaos Pearl.

You can never escape, even if you have wings.

No, don't scare it.

Good pearl, come to me.

You'll die now!

You're absorbing my energy?

Blasted child, how dare you ruin my handsome face?

Hit me with your best shot. Come on!

Not the face, okay?

- Master! - Master!

I have refined this Chaos Pearl

into the Spirit Pearl and Demon Pill.

The Demon Pill's primordial spirit is indestructible.

I have cast a curse of heavenly tribulation

that will destroy the Demon Pill three years from now

in a rain of lightning.

You will need to watch over it before that time comes.

Li Jing has been chosen by Heaven.

The Spirit Pearl will be reincarnated as his third son.

I appoint this task...

to you.

I have found 11 of my 12 Golden Immortals of Kunlun.

If you can nurture the Spirit Pearl to greatness,

the last spot...

- will be yours. - Thank you, Master!

Thank you, Master!

Once the Spirit Pearl is born,

he shall be named

Nezha.

These festive occasions are such a deligh

Here, have a drink with me.

No need.

Be careful.

My lady, you should worship as well.

Worship? I've done so for three years.

If the baby doesn't come out, I'll smash this temple to bits!

I hail from the Cave of Golden Light on Mount Qianyuan.

I am Taiyi--

Zhenren.

Wait for me!

- Hurry! - Hurry!

- We won't make it. - Hurry.

LI RESIDENCE

I'm sure it'll be a son, Lord Li!

Chamberlain Li, I'm here to be the boy's matchmaker.

We have composed a new tune called "The Spirit Pearl Comes".

Thank you.

Thank you for your concern, friends.

Everyone, please remain calm and quiet.

Please wait for the good news.

Wait for the good news!

This pain is unbearable!

The time draws near.

Master Immortal, I heard that you liked to drink.

This isn't the time! I can't drink right now!

I'll just leave it here.

I don't have time for that. Take it away.

Unbelievable.

Well, I'll just take a tiny sip!

It shouldn't go to waste after all.

Good stuff.

There's no point in leaving a few drops.

Bottoms up!

There are enough drugs in that to make you sleep for three days.

Curses! The Supreme Lord has cast a spell,

so only Taiyi can touch it.

My lord, is the Immortal casting the spell yet?

Master Immortal, is it time yet?

What's wrong?

The Immortal is drunk. I'm trying to wake him up.

Drunk?

I just have to force the liquor out.

How can you do that?

This goes against all rules of etiquette.

My lord, the lady can't hold on much longer.

Let me try.

Wake up!

Take this!

I think I just had a nightmare.

Master Immortal, open the lotus flower.

Yes! I'll do that right away.

OPEN

What are you waiting for?

I can't remember the password.

That liquor was too strong. I can't think clearly.

I think it was...

Don't worry, I have four more tries.

This can't be.

What if the fifth try is wrong as well?

The lotus will lock itself

and we will have to try again in ten years.

My lord, the lady has fainted!

- Let me try again! - Master Immortal!

No, damn fatty!

I remember now.

I can use my fingerprint as verification if I forget the password.

Half off for the tavern's grand opening!

I thought you were acting strange.

It's a Puppet Talisman!

She's being controlled too!

You want it so badly?

Then I'll give you one back.

Stop!

Crap.

My lord, look!

What...

How terrifying!

I got youl!

You're not going anywhere...

Stop!

He's getting away!

Power of the cosmos, weight of a thousand souls,

boundless span of the earth, Qiankun Hoop, obey my command!

Hold!

He has become a demon!

There's no saving him!

Master Immortal!

This is a reincarnation of the Demon Pill.

The Qiankun Hoop is suppressing his demonic nature.

If he were to turn fully demonic,

there will be a bloodbath and many lives will be destroyed!

Enough of this savagery!

No!

My lady!

Don't hurt my child!

Don't hurt my child!

This...

Lord Li!

Chentang Pass has stood against demons for generations.

The people in this village won't tolerate a demon in their midst.

As the matter stands,

I hope that you can consider the greater good

and lead by example for the military and people.

Wrong direction.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEWBORN BABY

MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES

Look!

Don't be scared. Mother's here.

Master Immortal. Everyone.

My family is unfortunate to have such a son,

but the child is innocent.

He is a victim too.

I find it hard to kill so mercilessly.

I will teach Nezha carefully

and won't allow him to set foot outside our home.

If he causes any trouble, I will ensure justice for you,

even if it means forfeiting my life.

Even if he is spared now, he won't live more than three years.

The Supreme Lord has casted a heavenly curse on the Demon Pill.

On this day three years from now,

lightning will descend from the skies to take his life.

I cannot undo the curse.

Then I will ask the Supreme Lord to lift the curse.

Don't worry. As long as I'm here, our child will be safe.

THE DRAGON PALACE

You're here.

Is that the Spirit Pearl?

If it is infused into my egg,

will my son have unparalleled powers

and a chance to ascend to Heaven as a deity?

You're...

Wrong?

You're right!

Good.

This is my son, Ao Bing.

As per our agreement,

you will be his master,

but you must help him escape this underwater purgatory

and ascend to Heaven.

I will die...

You'll die?

I will die trying!

I'll prove that I'm the best candidate for the 12 Golden Immortals.

Just nod next time.

This is the Void Portal.

My master is beyond the three realms

and can only be found through this portal.

Supreme Lord, your disciple, Taiyi seeks an audience.

Taiyi, do you know what you have done wrong?

Yes, I know I was wrong.

But if it wasn't for a demon trying to steal--

No excuses!

How many years has it been since your last visit?

I was bored to death!

I knew it was youl!

This is Chang Shengyun, the one that carries the Void Portal.

We all call it Little Cloud.
