LMK might not give Nezha the narrative importance he could have and that SUCKS but hear me out. the demon child. the monkie "kid" who might not be the hero he's been made out to be.

the kid born too powerful. the boy made too powerful. the prince who can read and comfort everyone yet ignores his own worries. the successor who can read and comfort everyone but never himself.

the two who are seen as monsters when it was never really their choice. the two who limit their powers, tamper them down or channel them elsewhere so as to avoid mass destruction. the two who live in Wukong's shadow, despite his best intentions.

I'm not sure if this counts as spoilers for s5 but if you haven't watched s5 don't read too much into it
