Episode 1: The Birth of Nezha

The Emperor has returned!
-
A long. long time ago
-
King Zhou, of the Shang Dynasty
-
sent troops to fight against
-
those who attempted
-
to overthrow his tyrannical rule.
-
With victory on the Emperor’s side,
-
only Wen Wang Jichang
(a count of Zhou) escaped.
-
(drums)
-
(horses galloping)
-
Hm? You!
-
Someone come grab him!
-
Emperor, this old man dares not
bow to you, the king!
-
Emperor, my body is weak and ill,
I cannot bend down anymore!
-
That is okay, I have a cure for you.
-
Come!
-
Yes!
-
Let him not stand upright for
three months straight!
-
Your majesty-
-
You know, a back that will not bend
to me must be forcibly fixed!
-
Ha ha ha ha!
-
Run faster!
-
(baby crying)
-
Three years, it has been three years.
-
When will this drought end?
-
This well is almost dry, only this little
water is left.
-
That's right...
-
Furen, you should go inside and rest.
-
Three years,
-
already three years!
-
Why won't the baby come?
-
Why has the province Chen Tangguan not
paid tribute yet?
-
My emperor, Chen Tangguan has suffered a
three-year long
-
drought, the people are cannot work.
-
Who is responsible for Chen Tangguan?!
-
Hm?!
-
The leader of Chen Tangguan is
General Li Jing.
-
Kill him.
-
My emperor, we cannot,
-
We know that General Li Jing loves his
people like his own children,
-
he is a good, brave general who runs the
army well.
-
Isn’t Chen Tangguan facing the
East China Sea?
-
There’s water there!
-
Can seawater be used?
-
Daguoshi’s magical skills are brilliant,
why not create rain?
-
Right!
-
Daguoshi, hurry and make rain!
-
This this this…. This is…This is… This
-
Then, then try…
-
Quickly!
-
Let the heaven rain!
-
(playful music)
-
(laughter)
-
(laughter)
-
(playful music fading into mysterious)
-
What’s going on?!
-
How am I flying?
-
(mysterious music)
-
A ghost? Where is this?
-
Ha ha, are you sure it is a ghost?
-
(???) I have called you here because you only
know how to use a three-legged cat spell.
-
I did not imagine that you’d be this
laughable.
-
Such an ineffective spell-thing.
-
If you run one more step,
-
I will take your life!
-
Excuse me, “my lady” where are you?
-
I am the "rock" in front of you of course,
-
She Ji!
-
(nervous whimpers) Yes, my lady!
-
What are you looking at?!
-
My lady, you are such a joker!
-
Ha ha…
-
I don’t have the heart to be making
joke with someone like you,
-
To tell you the truth,
-
I was crushed by Nuwa into this rock,
-
it has been thousands of years.
-
I want you to help me.
-
Why did you seek out me?
-
I have wanted to find someone like
you for a very long time now.
-
Oh!
-
I am really that unique?
-
A bad hearted person like you is not
easy to find.
-
But I can’t beat someone like Nuwa…
-
Nonsense,
-
I want you to send me one
hundred strong men,
-
I want to absorb their essence to
increase my power.
-
One hundred?
-
This, this, this (one hundred)…
-
(She Ji) Have you thought it through?
-
(She Ji) HAVE YOU THOUGHT IT THROUGH?
-
Yes yes!
-
No one who parties or drinks,
-
Now how about it? Mm?
-
Yes, yes, yes.
-
My lady has such a powerful mana,
I have something to ask
-
My ruler wants rain in Chen Tangguan,
-
I however, cannot meet that request.
-
If my ruler becomes angry, then
I will be killed!
-
And if I am killed, then your
one hundred men will…
-
This is easy to handle, you can do this,
-
(She Ji) Come, I will tell you what to do…
-
Daguoshi, where did you go that
took so long,
-
We have all been waiting for you.
-
Uh, this this this…
-
Now that you have gone out,
-
have you figured out a way to make
it rain?
-
My emperor, I have not found a way
to make it rain,
-
Huh?!
-
However, I know the reason why
Chen Tangguan
-
has faced this three-year drought,
-
Chen Tangguan’s General Li Jing’s wife
Yin has been pregnant,
-
unable to give birth for three years!
-
In her stomach,
-
must be a demon!
-
As long as we get rid of this demon,
-
the three year drought can be lifted!
-
There can be such a thing?!
-
Muzha!
-
Look!
-
Jinzha,
-
we've waited for three years
-
Little Brother hasn’t come yet?
-
Muzha, I was waiting for you
for ten months!
-
Isn't everyone waiting ten months to
be born?
-
Obviously!
-
I hope that this symbol (xiang)
can protect our child.
-
Yes, but it has been more than
three years, when will this baby be born.
-
Soon,
-
I can feel his little hand scratching me!
-
Furen,
-
hurry and rest.
-
(Guard) Report!
-
Report,
-
Master, Daguoshi is here!
-
Huh?!
-
Chen Tangguan welcomes Daguoshi.
-
Make tea for the Dabuoshi.
-
No need.
-
No wasting time,
-
This time, I am in Chen Tangguan for
one issue.
-
General Li, do you know what possible
issue?
-
(formal) I do not know.
-
Recently, the heavens in the ninth house
have moved out of position,
-
and have shown me the astrological truth:
do you know what this means?
-
(formal) I do not know sir.
-
Of course you do not know,
-
You just need to know that you are
a General,
-
General Li, Chen Tangguan is a good place,
-
however there has been three years
without rain,
-
Don’t you think that this is weird?
-
Yes, please what should I do?
-
My people carry water everyday to fight
this drought to and relieve their thirst
-
I hope there is a solution, Daguoshi.
-
I also hear that your wife has been
pregnant for three years.
-
Correct.
-
I am here exactly for this problem,
-
your wife has yet given birth
in three years,
-
and this drought has lasted three years!
-
Now tell me how can this be?!
-
This-
-
Hm?
-
These are two completely unrelated
problems!
-
Unrelated? The emperor has entrusted
me as the magical protector,
-
and with the tortoise's shell,
I have asked
-
for the sixth to thirty-sixth
astrological hexagrams,
-
and know that Chen Tangguan’s demise is
because of
-
what is inside your wife’s stomach!
-
That three-year-old unborn
thing is a demon!
-
If a demon like that isn’t taken care of,
-
then Chen Tangguan will not only
never see rain ever again
-
but will experience disasters!
And will never be safe!
-
My family has been good for generations,
how can there be a demon?!
-
This is what the king ordered,
-
You know the king’s orders
and how his anger is.
-
(painful moans)
-
Furen!
-
Now, would you like me to take the
Li family to the emperor court!
-
Or settle this now!
-
Laoye! Laoye! Furen has given birth!
-
The Furen has given birth!
-
They really know how to pick the time.
-
Daguoshi, the baby has been born!
-
Why don’t you accompany me to the baby’s
side? I will show you the baby now.
-
Where is the child?
-
Th- th- there…
-
(harmonious music)
-
(baby coo)
-
(another baby coo)
-
(child laughter)
-
(water flowing)
-
The kid! Where’s the kid!
Hurry up and find it!
-
It may be a baby, but it is still a demon!
-
I have thrown it away.
-
Thrown?
-
Daguoshi’s speculation… the baby born was
just a big ball of flesh!
-
It really was a demon. I told my family
it will be thrown away.
-
A big ball of flesh?
-
I didn’t expect it to be an actual demon…
-
Oh yes, a demon!
-
Demon!
-
Baby… my baby where is my baby?
-
Where is my baby?
-
Laoye told us to throw the baby away.
-
Thrown?!
-
It was not a baby,
it was a big ball of flesh!
-
What?
-
My child!
-
Laoye! I don’t care what he is!
He is my child!
-
Furen, hurry and go home and rest-
-
Why did you throw away my child!?
-
I don’t care what he is!
All of him is my child!
-
I will find my baby!
I need to find him and bring him home!
-
Furen!
-
(Lin) My baby!
(General Li) Furen!
-
(harmonious music)
-
(child laughter)
-
(faint child laugher)
-
(playful music)
-
(child laughter)
-
(playful music)
-
Baby! My baby!
(General Li) Furen!
-
In the name of the king, I order
you to quickly kill this demon!
-
Quickly!
-
Quickly!
-
Quickly kill it!
-
Yes sir!
-
No! No!
-
You still won’t do it?!
-
No!
-
Out of my way!
-
(metallic shine)
-
(mystical music)
-
(child laughter)
-
Baby!
-
My child!
-
Stop your hand.
-
Ha ha ha!
-
(sword drop)
-
Ha ha ha!
-
Mommy, Daddy!
-
(everyone laughing)
-
We will call him Nezha,
-
(General Li) Yes!
-
It was obviously a demon;
how did it turn into a human?
-
He he, ha ha ha!
-
It’s him! It’s him! Just him!
Our little friend, small Nezha!
-
It's him! Just him! It's him! Just him!
-
The hero, small Nezha!
-
The heavens taller than the sky,
-
The heavens bigger than the sea
-
Its wisdom fights the monsters and
bravely takes down ghosts
-
The young hero is small Nezha,
-
yes, he is very smart,
-
yes, he is also very stupid
-
his height is the same as mine
-
yes, he works hard
-
yes, he is also playful
-
his age is also the same as mine!
-
The heavens taller than the sky,
-
The heavens bigger than the sea
-
Its wisdom fights the monsters and
bravely takes down ghosts
-
The young hero is little Nezha!
