Tiger Crane, Ep 9 clip has Qi Xiaoxuan enter Huzi’s conscience… as a dog?
There is a new Tiger Crane clip out, this time from Episode 9 of the fantasy action adventure donghua, reminding us of just how cool the latest episode turned out to be as Qi Xiaoxuan enters Huzi’s conscience in an attempt to save his life.
The 3-minute Tiger Crane, Episode 9 clip (watch below) begins with Tong telling Qi Xiaoxuan she can sense some kind of spiritual block within Huzi’s body, which is likely trapping his soul.
(You will remember, the fairy and Xiaoxuan’s Master tried to save Huzi’s life with cardiopulmonary resuscitation and with spells, but nothing they did could revive him).
The Master, however, tells Xiaoxuan he can break that barrier and allow him to access Huzi’s conscience with the help of Tong and her talismen.
But Tong also warns him, if he does decide to do that, he must return to his own body before her talisman fails, or he will be trapped in Huzi’s body forever.
The rest of the Tiger Crane, Episode 9 clip has Xiaoxuan inside Huzi’s conscience but, instead of being in his own form and being able to explain to Huzi what is happening, Xiaoxuan is relegated to arriving in the form of Huzi’s old dog, Xiaobai.
Nope, “Bark, bark, bark” doesn’t quite get the message across, now does it?
Tiger Crane details
The planned 24-episode Tiger Crane donghua (aka Hu He Yao Shi Lu), which is animated by Motion Magic Studios, premiered on October 5th with its first two episodes.
Since then, it has dropped a new episode weekly every Saturday at 10 am Beijing time, with its next episode (Episode 11) due out tomorrow, December 7th.
The donghua is based on a manhua written and illustrated by Huang Xiaoda. with Bilibili describing its plot like this:
The frank and straightforward wandering hero, Huzi, and the outwardly aloof yet kind-hearted noble man, Qi Xiaoxuan, become acquainted through conflict.
From mutual disdain to becoming friends like “tiger and crane,” they unite with a group of partners who are “adorably naive foodies” and “smiling with a sinister heart.”
In the end, they uncover the royal sorcerer’s conspiracy, eliminate evil, and uphold justice in the human world.
The superb fantasy donghua is directed by Zhao Bingle (赵丙乐) (Battle Through the Heavens), who also co-wrote the donghua’s scripts alongside Yin Heng (尹衡) and Shen Qi Hui (沈启慧).
Tiger Crane streams exclusively on Bilibili in China, and on Bilibili international and the Bilibili Chinese Donghua YouTube channel.
