* CommonKnowledge: Despite being released shortly after {{Animation/Nezha}}, the film is ''not'' a sequel. This movie follows more closer to the original mythology where Nezha and Ao Bing are enemies and the latter does not go under a HeelFaceTurn. It's even produced by a different studio.
Added DiffLines:
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Ao Bing was shown a lot in the trailers and opening scenes seem to set him up to be Yunxiang's ArchEnemy. However, he's ultimately AdvertisedExtra, as he has a few fights with Yunxiang and even a OneWingedAngel form... only to be unceremoniously killed mid-way through the movie without any further hints of a possible redemption or longer lasting prominence to the movie.

* MagnificentBastard: [[DragonsAreDivine Ao Guang]], Dragon King of the East Sea, leads the De Clan who controls the water supply in Donghai City. 3,000 years ago when the young and violent god Nezha rampaged across China and killed his son, the Dragon Prince Ao Bing, Ao Guang created a truce with the other Dragon Kings to force Nezha to pay for his crimes in death. Realizing his spirit was sent back into the cycle of reincarnation, Ao Guang and his allies would kill every reincarnation of Nezha that appeared, and learns the latest is hero Li Yunxiang. Using Nezha's Sky Ribbon, Ao Guang captures several river dragons and two water monsters to drain all of the water from the city's rivers and lakes to construct the Dragon Pearl, planning to use its power to usurp the Court of Heaven and [[WellIntentionedExtremist establish order]] in a chaos-stricken universe. [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Mourning his son's latest death]] and backed into a corner, Ao Guang swallows the incomplete Dragon Pearl to fight Li, unleashing the river dragons who create a tsunami powerful enough to destroy Donghai City, forsaking his chance at godhood to try and eliminate the threat of Nezha once and for all.
