The Legend of Hei - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

Appearance of Nezha

Towards the end of the film, the powerful mythological figure Nezha appears, depicted as a modern, punk-dressed teenager. This is a nod to a hugely popular character in the Chinese mythological canon, who also starred in his own blockbuster animated film, "Ne Zha," released in the same year (2019). His presence connects the world of "The Legend of Hei" to a broader cinematic and mythological universe.
