From Wikipedia
In Journey to the West, Nezha was a general under his father, "Pagoda-wielding Heavenly King" Li Jing. He fought the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, when the latter rebelled against the Jade Emperor. They became friends later. Nezha made some appearances in the novel to help the four protagonists defeat powerful demons.


I'm so happy he is added. His design is not what I expected at all. But he still looks pretty okay. Hope he at least has one traditional/mystical alternate design.

When Komatsu first posted the scan of him on the WO3 thread, I could not believe my eyes. :OMG: I absolutley did not expect Nezha to look like that...I've always imagined him in his traditional look, a boy standing on fire wheels wielding a spear. There's this old Chinese animation movie called "Nezha disrupts the Sea", Chinese version "Nezha Naohai", which tells the original tale of how he faced off against the four Dragon Kings of the Sea...that's how I generally came to imagine him, and never in this way.
Now, Nezha looks like a character from Tron, some cyborg from the future. I swear that the thing he wears on his ear is a comm-link and that there are wires in his leg. Your translation of his description managed to give an explanation of why he looked like this, and I'm glad to note that it takes at least a little inspiration from his original story, but I am still puzzled as to who managed to turn Nezha into a Tron person.
To top it all off, though, I'm glad he's in, albeit in a more futuristic form. Sun Wukong now has a buddy. :D I'm really looking forward to his role in WO3, as well as his moveset, which I guess will involve those Tron-esque energy rings around his hands and feet.

EDIT: Nezha has PINK hair. This is a real crazy feature as it adds to his overall feminine appearance...not a bad choice of hair color for someone from the future, but I've never seen pink hair in the WO series before. Already some people are calling him Tron Hui because of his Tron look and his resemblance to Zhong Hui. -_- Looks like KOEI's expert skill at surprising fans has caught us off guard.

I'm surprised with this characters, firsly that really is male? He is more beautiful than some female characters in games. The other thing is his design, wow I didn't expected someone in outfit like that :OMG: but his weapon interesting me.
I hope Koei will give him a good role.

A design... which I really did not expect! However, there's a reason for this design. I like
his pink hair (if they are pink) and weapons. To me he is really unique among the other characters and of course a very good addition to the franchise as well.

@ReinaBlaka: Same here. I knew Koei would take some liberties with his design but not at all like that. I've seen many versions of Nezha, in TV series, paintings and even statues but Koei's design is least accurate portrayal of Nezha.

I can't complain though as I always wanted him in WO game since Sun Wukong was added back in WO2. And honestly it could have been worse, Koei could give him boobies and him into a female character. I like my Nezha without boobies thank you! XD

@Bokator Boran: Well, either it's because KOEI became sudden fans of Tron, or they wanted to give us fans a surprise. Well, it's nice to see a design that is unique from all the others, though. Speaking of boobies, KOEI did have the potential to do that, but we're all glad that they didn't! :D

I know a lot of people love the design and that the design does sort of fit his story. I don't like it though. Too anachronistic for me.
I feel a Terminator/Tron gimmick going on and I don't think it works. People already said that characters from Troy and Bladestorm won't fit...well, neither does this guy. At least in design.

Gotta love his heterochromia and somehow cold-hearted 'tude.

Here's a better pic of him. His description on Famitsu said that his weapon are the four Tron rings he has, and it is called "Four Elements Rings" or something. Also, his arms and legs can extend. Looks like he IS going to have a Tron moveset. :D

And he does not have a missing eye. It seems that he has heterochromia and that he wears a comm-link and a high-tech lens over his other eye. I think his eyes are red/pink and green...Orochi's eyes?? :sly:

It turns out his eyes are not heterochromia! Both of them are pink, there's something covers his left eye.

I'm a bit disappointed with his pink eyes :hmmm: other than that, he's still my favourite out of the new characters revealed so far.

His design is strangely growing on me....I'm getting more and more used to it.

I love those headphones and I adore his eye accessory. Not to menton I'm really anxious to see his moveset.

Far as I'm concerned, when they gave Yoshitsune a friggin Lightsaber in the last game, they pretty much opened the door for any of the other mystics/legendary figures to be interpreted in new and interesting ways. :hehe:

Like I said before, since the Orochi series is likely the closest thing I'll get to a Fengshen/Mystic Heroes "sequel", I'm reveling in things like this.

Same here. He is so different and he has pink hair/eyes (yes, I love pink) and I really like his design. Not to mention that his Japanese voice matches the character. Can't wait to see his moveset. ^_^

I don't know what to think really. Nezha is a very good addition in WO due to Sun Wukong, but I don't like the futuristic look and the pink hair and eyes. As for his weapons I'm curious how his move-sets will be.

Hmm... so you're telling me there's a little bit of Dragon Ball Z with his face? Like that thing Vegeta used to wear before he crushed it by saying "IT'S OVER 9000!!!" xDD

Wait a sec... either "OVER 9000" or contact lens. wtf?

Anyway, I really like Nezha's design. It's growing onto me each second and can not wait to see his moveset. I'am anxious to hear what his voice will sound like.

That close-up of Nezha on the official site made my day. Both his eyes are PINK, and the other appears to br blue because he's wearing that lens over it. :crazy:
I wonder if he can scan an enemy with that lens...like, maybe he can scan an enemy officer before releasing a crazy Tron-ring attack on him/her. A ray going over the charging guy, and then, BOOM. Officer defeated.
I can imagine it:

Orochi Officer: Yaaaaaah! *charges*
Nezha: *scans Orochi Officer*
Orochi Officer: *stops* Huh...?
Nezha: Enemy verified, terminating system starting up.
(absolute Tron-ring craziness)
Orochi Officer: Lord Orochi...Forgive me...
Nezha: Enemy officer terminated.
:lol:

Ah, yes.

Looks pretty good to me, but in a game like this, the look seems kinda out of place.

lol xDD Whoever asked Vegeta about Goku's POWER LEVEL xDD

He might be a mix of Hui and Yoshitsune... for some reason. Oh wait... a ring in each limb? I'm totally reminded of Mai Tokiha from My-HiME... she fights using them. Could Nezha be a male version of Mai? xDD

I actually like his armour, and his weapons seem interesting. If they do in fact extend then I can imagine him having attacks similar to Kotaro.

The only thing I really don't like about him is his hair and eyes, the pink just looks bad.

When i first saw him, i couldn't believe my eyes what i saw! He just looks so fantastic and different. And whats even more greater is that he has pink hair and he pretty handsome aswell <3, I must say he has to be one of the best looking designed guys so far. ALL HAIL MR SEXY TRON HUI! lol :wub:

So I come back from China and this is who I find is new in WO3? Veeeery interesting...

And we all thought Yoshitsune with his Lightsaber was anachronistic.

No. I think his seiyuu was called Miyazako Shunza or something. I can't remember.

Anyand all sense of logic has been destroyed in my eyes. I'm now hoping they give Huang Gai a Bazooka, and the rest of the cast scouters :/

In all seriousness, he sounds very interesting.
