In ancient Chinese mythology, the relationship between Nezha and the dragon is inextricably linked, and this relationship is also vividly reflected in the comic "Inhuman". So, what is it that makes Nezha like dragons so much?
Perhaps, it all starts with Nezha's havoc in the Dragon Palace.
In the well-known story of "Nezha in the Sea", Nezha bravely stood up against the tyranny of the Dragon King for the sake of justice. At that time, the dragon clan dominated one side and made waves, especially the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, who was powerful and blessed, so that the fishermen could not go to the sea to fish, and their lives were difficult. Nezha saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, so he severely punished the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea during a trip. Although this struggle brought a lot of impact to the dragon clan, it was this incident that made Nezha and the dragon form an indissoluble bond.
Of course, this is just a record of myths and legends, the comic "Inhuman" is based on many myths and legends, and there may be more than this one, and now there are many, many different versions of the interpretation of "Nezha and the Sea", and our author may have used many different versions when creating the story.
But there is no doubt that Nezha in the comics likes dragons very much.
Nezha's love for dragons may also stem from his deep yearning for strength and freedom. The dragon, as a mythical animal in traditional Chinese culture, symbolizes supreme power and the spirit of freedom. As a rebellious teenager who pursues self and truth, Nezha is easy to yearn for and admire this powerful force, and defeating the invincible dragon is like the most dazzling military medal on his glorious resume.
After defeating the third prince of the dragon king, he reaped his own "spoils", and the dragon tendons were used by him as a rope, which has been brought from ancient times to the present, which shows his love for dragons.
Let's see that Nezha was very happy when he was invited to Lielie's house to play in the story, and we can see from here that he doesn't hate the dragon clan, but really likes it.
In the comic "Inhuman", Nezha's love for dragons is vividly expressed. He not only has a spiritual yearning for dragons, but also shows a deep affection for dragons in his daily life. Specifically, Nezha's love for dragons is reflected in the following aspects:
First of all, many of Nezha's daily necessities and toys are in the shape of dragons. His pajamas, toys and even some everyday objects are images of dragons, which is enough to see his preference for dragons. This preference is not only because of the dragon's strength and symbol of freedom, but more likely because of a special affection for the dragon.
Secondly, when Nezha accidentally picks up a pigdragon in the toilet, his excitement and joy are beyond words. He mistakenly thought that he had picked up a normal dragon, so he tried his best to raise it, and even took it to school, fearing that it would be harmed at home. This gesture fully demonstrates his love and care for dragons.
Moreover, Nezha's interaction with Pig Dragon can also be seen from his love for dragons. He would be worried about Pigrone's unhappiness, and he would panic because he mistakenly thought he had eaten Pigrone. These emotional responses all show his deep affection for dragons.
In "Inhuman", Nezha's liking for Lie Lie (Ao Lie) is very obvious. The relationship between them is far more than ordinary friendship, and it can be said that it is a deep bond.
First of all, although Nezha had a holiday with the Dragon Clan, especially when he once made a big fuss in the East China Sea and smoked the dragon tendons of Ao Bing, the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, he established a sincere friendship with Ao Lie. Nezha did not become prejudiced against Ao Lie because of past grievances, but became very good friends with him.
Secondly, from Nezha's cherishing of the dragon horns that Ao Lie fell off, it can also be seen that he attaches great importance to Ao Lie. Nezha carefully treasures this pair of dragon horns, which shows that he cares deeply about his relationship with Ao Lie.
Moreover, in the comics, Nezha often sticks to Ao Lie and asks him to take him to the river to see the dragon, and even in order to be with Ao Lie, Nezha is willing to make some sacrifices and changes, such as on Halloween, in order to be with Ao Lie, he is willing to change into women's clothes. This intimate way of getting along is enough to show Nezha's love for Ao Lie.
In addition, when Nezha was building a snowman, the prototype he chose was also Ao Lie's dragon form, which further proves his love and attention to Ao Lie.
Overall, Nezha shows a deep love for dragons in the comics. This affection is not only reflected in his daily necessities and toys, but also in his interactions with and care for dragons. His every move reveals his deep affection for dragons, making people feel his love and yearning for dragons.
