DESCRIPTION
Nezha Conquers the Sea Series
A Story That Was Never Meant to Be Comfortable
Nezha Conquers the Sea is not a story about victory.
In its original form, it is unsettling. A child challenges an authority far greater than himself, triggers irreversible consequences, and ultimately takes responsibility in the most extreme way imaginable. There is no clean triumph, no easy moral resolution.
In traditional Chinese culture, the sea represents an uncontrollable and distant force. The Dragon King who rules it is not merely a monster, but a system—one that ordinary people cannot easily confront.
Nezha’s rebellion is not a heroic spectacle.
It is a refusal to accept that power alone defines justice.
That is why the story has endured for centuries.
