      to be fair (spoilers for the book btw), qi rong didn't really start calling him that until _after_ the whole "rolling on the floor, making out with each other" at the tail-end of the black water arc. so while he certainly did understand, i don't remember him guessing the truth of their relationship this early on. not that it really matters, though.
      also, to clear up confusion since we're having this conversation: in the unofficial translation that i first read, it was "dog hua cheng" and "dog f*cker xie lian." in the official english translation, it is "dog hua cheng" and "dog-f*cked xie lian" lol

    .His birth name is Xie Lian, so that's what most people call him
    .Jun Wu (The god emperor guy) calls him Xianle because that was the name of Xie Lian's kingdom and part of his heavenly title when he first ascended. Jun Wu addresses all heavenly officials by their title.
    .Fangxin is the name Xie Lian took on when he became State Perceptor of Yong'an, the kingdom you see in the flashback in the episode from this video

      Also he's not the god of ribbons. His themed title is the Flower Crown Martial God. I think the other one that's used less is His Highness Who Pleased the Gods.
      The changing names throughout this series confuses the hell out of everyone.
      Jun Wu calling Xie Lian "Xianle" is like Tallahassee calling Jacob "Columbus" in Zombieland
      Qi Rongs title for him is "Snow White Lotus" and "Dog f**ker" if we want a detailed list 😂

    16:40 - Yes you are correct. Xie Lians people, the people of Xian Le were refugees in the Yongan kingdom. The King of Yongan wanted to punish all the refugees from the Xian Le kingdom for the massacre and Xie Lian put a stop to it by killing him. Book 3 goes into detail about the history between Xian Le and Yongan so I'm hoping it gets to a Season 3.

    • @irondragonmaiden

      It's basically all about the cicle of revenge. The people of Xian Le were refugees due to the people of Yongan, who themselves were refugees of the Xian Le Kingdom, committing a coup d'etat. There's plenty of survivors who would say that the people of Yongan deserved whatever they got

    You have understood Xie Lian perfectly. Never reveal information unless directly asked and _even then_ never volunteer any facts that might exonerate him, or have you sympathise at all.
    The plot is very hard to follow, it's not just you. Something about the way the books reveal information at a drip feed and the somewhat awkward way it flows in English doesn't quite work.
    Qi Rong in the dub is _fantastic._ The script in English subtly changes, so his insults actually hit Xie Lian quite directly rather than him just blathering on. It makes him very effective, albeit at the cost of making him a bit smarter than perhaps the author meant him to be.
    And hey we're getting bits of Xie Lian's backstory!

    The thing is, in the book we don't get all those flashbacks. The street scene, massacre, all of that. They mention it happened, but we don't get an actual play-through of HOW.
    I'd be lying if I said these scenes didn't make me cry, they were brutal and hard to watch as opposed to book 2 just going "He killed his father to protect the peace after An Le slaughtered everyone!!!"
    ALSO, that punch scene was gorgeous- Xie Lian put up with Qi Rongs heckling until it was directed at Hua Cheng, that's where he drew the line. I love them 😭😭

    I just want to thank you, Danny, for sticking with this series. It's one of my favorites, but I do have to admit that it's got so much lore and exposition to get through. We're finally at the point with the end of this season where we've got most of our main players, if not on the field, then at least mentioned.
    For anyone confused on the pre-series lore so far:
    Xie Lian was the crown prince of Xianle; he ascended to godhood at age 17 after committing two wondrous acts (saving a child falling from a city wall and defeating a demon). A little over 3 years after his ascension, there was a violent revolution by the people of Yong-An, an outbreak of Human Face Disease, Xianle fell, and Xie Lian was banished for trying to interfere. He ascended again after a few years, promptly stabbed the emperor several times, and was cast back out. This was all about 800 years ago.
    As far as I can guess, Xie Lian then became the State Preceptor of Yong-An like...a hundred years into his second banishment? We don't know exactly. After the Gilded Banquet Massacre, he was "killed", staked in a coffin, and buried by Lang Qianqiu. (It doesn't say it in the show, but the book mentions that he was rescued by grave robbers about a hundred years later.)
    Like 400 years after that, he was conscripted into the Yong-An military to fight against the Banyue kingdom and was later trampled to death.

    • @Levsa399
      @Levsa399 10 месяцев назад +4

      The timeline’s so hard to pin down because he has a line in book 1 and season 1 where he says Fangxin and Banyue were about a century apart. Putting the gilded banquet about 300 yrs ago. But then in book 2 and season 2, XL mentions that the gilded banquet wasn’t long after his second banishment (800yrs ago). This implies what you said. I don’t remember where in the books it mentioned how long he was in the coffin, so I got nothing there. I just want a nice, neat timeline!😢

    • @Willow-1218
      @Willow-1218 10 месяцев назад +6

      @@Levsa399 So in Chapter 8, he says "I've heard of State Preceptor Fangxin: he was the state preceptor of Yong'an, born AT LEAST [emphasis mine] a hundred years earlier than State Preceptor Banyue." He is also at this point emphasizing that they couldn't have possibly colluded, so it may have been more than a hundred years in reality.
      Then in Chapter 22 he says "This was not long after my second banishment. I was filled with frustration and caused a great wrong." I'm hesitant to fully believe him on that, since he is, at that point, being a lying liar who lies in an effort to convince Lang Qianqiu that he had motivation to commit the massacre. (Looking further into it, the "100 years in the coffin" may be a mass hallucination by the fandom, so my bad on that.)
      So my conclusion is that he was probably State Preceptor Fangxin more than a hundred years before Banyue, but not as close to his banishment as he leads Qianqiu to believe.

    Surely many fans must have commented on this, but I also need to say it. Mo Dao Zu Shi has insane fight scenes one after another, there are ghouls, dead being controlled by a badass character, gore, massacres, lots of massacres, more blood, investigations, gays, badass gays and super angry gays. But gay romance is unfortunately censored, although it does happen and we can follow it very well. It turns out that even in the original work, the heavy plot full of blood and revenge was always in focus, while the romance unfolded in the background, if I can describe it that way. So for you it will be even more exciting content to watch, so we really hope you can watch it as soon as possible!

    YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY START «GRANDMASTER OF DEMONIC CULTIVATION» FOR SURE (the animated one, not the live action one)
    listen, here are the benefits list I gladly prepared:
    -it’s from the same book author as Heaven officials blessing, so you know it’s popular and good (I’d say even better in my personal humble opinion 😈)
    And you said it yourself, Chinese anime is where it’s at🗣️‼️🔥💥
    -it’s finished, it has got 35 episodes if I remember correctly, so no need to wait for a continuation ‼️🔥
    -it has the exact same zombie deal (fierce walking corpse) and dark magic, fighting and war crimes as heaven officials blessing but it’s much more of a central point so there’s more of it (the good stuff for sure)
    - it’s gay but chaotic-tragic gay
    - it is a detective fantasy fast paced plot in ancient China with cultivators, the mysteries and themes are great
    -the plot is wide scale and epic, with a lot of small details
    -the main character slays, you will absolutely love him, he is the moment
    - the dynamic between the two mcs reminds me of the main characters of link click, If I had to compare it to anything
    -politics
    -fighting and cultivating again
    -the show is BUILT for your commentary, the comedic elements are fire
    - lastly, the scenery is really great and the characters are well built, main ones are complex, side ones are a perfect addition that details the story, none are extra or boring, every one has a great backstory
    -sassy homosexuals
    The expectations MUST be high because it lives up to the hype💯💯💯
    All this world needs is you seeing the show, I’ll sign any petition

    5:04 This series doesn't tell you things in chronological order so you feel just as confused as some of the other characters when things only get partially revealed as you get further in. The thing that I love about that setup is that these main characters that you think you know, the ones that are... I don't know... soft spoken, gentle, quirky, and sometimes annoyingly optimistic loners are actually not quite what you expected.
    The further you get in on this series, the more you realize that Xie Lian is not a reliable narrator. It's not that he's activity lying but he keeps his cards very close to the chest. Just a quick glance back and your realize that you never really get to hear his thoughts on some of the more serious subject matters. He doesn't give anything away when he reads about a general on a tombstone to everyone in the cave. It's only once he's recognized by Banyue and Pei Xiuin in the pit that he's basically forced to admit that he was the general who got trampled to death. Qi Rong just outed another past event he was desperately trying to keep hidden from everyone.
    How many other times do you see him willingly bring up anything to do with his past? There are verbal nuggets scattered to Hua Cheng every now and then. All we get with his family is the flashback of him playing with foil palaces as a kid (and that other one...) The only other flashbacks given to us by him are the forced out PTSD moments whenever white no face is brought up.
    In most stories, you go along the journey with the characters as they grow from start to finish. With this, you realize you're starting very late into the game. That there is 800 years of backstory established but it's all but entirely hidden. You're in for a wild ride.

    Regards to 5:15 rant. I kinda agree? But I think it's mostly because they're chinese names. For me, it's not hard to remember the names of things, but I was born in a whole different country and learned two languages, so I'm used to non-english names. When it comes to people not used to it, it's easy to struggle to remember the names because you're just not used to the language. At first, when I first read Scumbag system (My first intro to chinese literature), it was difficult to remember the names of things at first. Going into Heaven Official's Blessing, I already had the previous experience I had gotten from Scumbag system, so it was simple enough to remember the names of people and cities, etc. If you really look at it, English shows have the same amount of names and places as this show does, but since it's in a language you're not familiar with, it feels like there are so many extra names needed to be remembered.

    Also Danny if you need a name guide because I know I was confused as hell when I first got into tgcf here’s some help
    Xie Lian: our main protagonist, this is his birth name and what people who would be considered close to him would call him (parents, friends, spouse)
    - Xianle: xie lian’s official heavenly title and also the name of his kingdom and essentially translates to “heaven’s delight”
    - taizi dianxia: translates to his “highness the crown prince”
    - fang xin: the name he went by as lang qianqiu’s teacher/mentor and also the name of the black sword he used at the time
    - general hua: the name he went by while living in Banyue
    Hua Cheng: main love interest (obv), this is not technically his actual name bc most ghosts go by a different name than the one they used in life
    - San lang: a nickname that only xie lian is allowed to use that translates to “third son”
    - crimson rain sought flower: hua cheng’s title as a ghost king
    - hua chengzu: what he is referred to by the citizens of ghost city, basically translates to “mayor hua” or “city lord hua”, a very respectful form of address
    Shi Qingxuan: everyone’s favorite gender swapping god, this is his/her name from when they were mortal
    - lord/lady wind master/wind master qingxuan: shi qingxuan’s official heavenly title
    Lang Qianqiu: the god who xie lian killed the parents of, has a massive sword, martial god of the east
    - general tai hua: his official heavenly title
    Ling Wen: the head civil goddess, the overworked lady with the blue hair
    Jun Wu: the heavenly martial emperor, the highest ranking god in the heavens, if anyone in the show refers to someone as “his majesty” they’re probably talking about him, he’s OLD
    Mu Qing: xie lian’s personal attendant from when he was mortal, the guy who brought xie Lian medicine for his arm, martial god of the southwest, fights with feng xin a lot
    - general xuan zhen: his official heavenly title
    - fu yao: one of the two lower court officials that showed up to help xie lian in s1, works for mu qing
    Feng Xin: xie lian’s bodyguard from when he was mortal, the other guy who showed up to visit xie lian during his house arrest, fights with mu Qing a lot
    - general nan yang: his official heavenly title, was mistranslated to general dick yang
    - nan feng: lower court official that helped xie Lian in s1, works for feng xin
    Banyue: the little ghost girl that xie Lian pickled, also the name of her country
    Qi Rong: the “frog in drag”, xie lian’s cousin
    - night touring green lantern: his ghost king title (he isn’t actually on the same level/rank as hua cheng and the other ghost kings he’s just there to balance things out)
    Bai Wuxiang: “white no face” the spooky bitch that traumatized xie Lian, the guy in white with the mask that shows up in a lot of xie lian’s flashbacks

      I forgot to mention a few other ppl that were fairly relevant
      Pei ming: heavens favorite playboy, the guy that was involved with the ghost bride at the beginning of s1 and got involved in the trial at the beginning of s2, martial god of the north, good friends with ling wen and shi wudu (the three tumors)
      - general Ming guang: his official heavenly title
      Pei Xiu or Pei Jr: the guy that was responsible for the Banyue incident and got banished at the beginning of s2, the descendant of pei ming (not very direct), worked under pei ming
      Ming Yi: the guy rescued from San Lang’s dungeon after dice shenanigans, the other hot lady with wind master in s1, wind master’s best friend
      - lord earth master: his official heavenly title
      Shi Wudu: Shi Qingxuan’s older brother, close with ling wen and pei ming (the three tumors)
      - lord water master: his official title

    Poor danny being confused with xie lian's names, it's just the start, we haven't even gotten to the multiple phases of hua cheng

    Name counter for Xie Lian:
    Xie Lian (his name:D)
    Xianle (Kindom name/Tilte)
    Hua Xie (Alias when he was a Banyue Soldier)
    Fangxin (Alias as the Yang'An Preceptor)
    Names so far for San Lang:
    Hua Cheng (Supreme ghost king Name)
    Crimson Rain Sought Flower (His poetic title)
    San Lang (What he prefers Xie Lian alone, calls him)
    It's hard to follow when you're watching other shows, plus it depends since there is a lot going on! The Donghua is a romance, but it's also a mystery around finding out who did what, and who is who.

    I wouldn’t really worry about remembering the names or following the plot TBH. Live in the now! 😂 this particular story is pretty self explanatory. Add your own names in if you like. Call them Bill and Ted!

    Jordan absolutely slayed as Qi Rong, and Howard did the same with Xie Lian at the end of this episode. Almost all the VAs do, to be honest - we got so lucky with the cast. 💖 Really looking forward to the next ones! (More pain, yay! 😆😭)

    Danny, please always keep the unscripted intros. They are your charm.
