TRIVIA: "the more you know"

Nezha is acutally an Indian frame

Nezha is not chinese in ORIGIN but actually originates from india and indian mythology which predates by almost 1000 years (300BC Mauryan dynasty vs 1500AD Ming dynasty)

Nezha is based on his sanskrit name nalakuvara (son of the yaksha [heavenly beings] king Kubera) and bala krishna combined into one entity: Nalakūbara नलकूबर > Naluojiupoluo 那羅鳩婆羅 > Naluojubaluo 捺羅俱跋羅 > Nazhajuwaluo 那吒矩韈囉 > Nazha 那吒 > 那 =/= 哪 Nezha

Nezha had a Oedipus Complex - killing his own father, having sex with his mother and getting her pregnant, then committing suicide but as an invincible warrior, Nezha became the tutelary divinity of armed militias and street gangs as well as a favorite of Daoist priests while being the prime violator of the Confucian ethics, he was despised by the literati elite
