What's the plot of Ne Zha 2?

Ne Zha 2 (2025) follows Ne Zha and Ao Bing, whose bodies were destroyed, as they share a single form and undergo, within one week, the dangerous "Ascension Trial" to become immortals and secure a potion to restore themselves.

The story is built around their friendship against the backdrop of complex, often corrupt, divine politics, highlighting themes of intense action and resistance to destiny and embracing identity.

After the events of the first film, Master Taiyi uses the Seven-Colored Sacred Lotus to save their souls, but it also weakens them physically and forces them to inhabit one body, creating humorous and intense "sharing" moments.

To save themselves, they must pass three trials set by the Immortal Wuliang at the Jade Palace within seven days to earn the elixir, while facing betrayal and complex, mature character developments. The narrative also includes the Dragon King Ao Guang and Shen Gongbao as they attempt to break free from their, at times, unjust imprisonment, bringing complexity to the "villain" roles.

Ne Zha 2 is a direct continuation that explores deeper, more mature themes than its predecessor, blending Chinese mythology with high-stakes action. The film has been praised for its "desert-like" animation, smoothness, and intricately choreographed fight scenes.
