Nezha

Ne Zha 2 is a 2025 Chinese animated fantasy adventure film written and directed by Jiaozi based on the titular mythic figure of Chinese legend and Xu Zhonglin's 16th-century novel Investiture of the Gods. It is the direct sequel to Ne Zha (2019). The film takes up the story of Chinese mythological character Ne Zha and his friend Ao Bing. After a sacrifice, only Ne Zha's body can be recreated, although he carries Ao Bing's spirit within. Ne Zha calls on this spirit in his fight against Master Shen.

Nezha (, Nézhā) or sometimes Nezha the Crown Prince (, ), is a protection deity in Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Chinese folk religion. His official Taoist name is "Marshal of the Central Altar" (). He was then given the title "Third Lotus Prince" () after he became a deity.
