Abstract

In recent animations, the main character is not a fixed character who plays an exemplary role, but is expressed as a changing character who achieves self-reflection through frustration. And the work focuses on this process. If the change to a self-reflecting character is a character that the modern audience wants, this phenomenon will occur regardless of the East and the West. If the transition to a character that changes from both East and West animations to self-reflection is increasing, the character in the work is more likely to follow this trend. In order to find out if the main phenomenon is happening in the East, I tried to check the works of traditional Chinese character Nezha by period. Only the process of following the given fate in The investiture of the gads was expressed, so it could be seen that self-reflection was unknown. It is expressed as a grown-up hero who has already completed self-reflection in <Prince Nezha's Triumph against Dragon King>. It could be seen that Nezha's self-reflection process was ignored. It details and expresses the process of completing self-reflection as a unity of local conduct through the frustration shown in <Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child>. Comparing the self-reflection of Nezha chara in these three periods, it was confirmed that as modern society progresses, characters that grow through individual anguish and self-reflection appear in Eastern animation. It was also found that the growth of characters is becoming the center of the story.
