Kuibanote is perhaps the most ambitious work by the Chinese animation company Vasoon Animation.
Every 333 years, a being know as "Kuiba" will reincarnate, creating arrays of destruction in Vast. Both the gods in the Heaven and mortals of the Ground will overcome hatred toward each other and worked together to combat and ultimately killing him. Massive casualties and destruction concludes each battle, so after the defeat of the fourth incarnation the gods resort to bomb the place with all firepowers stored in heaven where Kuiba is said to reincarnate from a rock the moment Kuiba's life signal is detected, basically killing him in his infant stage. This worked exactly once.
The sixth incarnation of Kuiba survive the blast, gets adopted by a nomad named Man Xiaoman who named the infant "Man Ji", and have a "normal" childhood, until the day when the gods realize Kuiba is still alive and launched another campaign to defeat Kuiba. The pair, unaware that Man Ji is Kuiba, joined the campaign (or tried to join), with the goal of "defeating Kuiba" and become "the greatest spirit warrior ever lived".
Tropes include:
- Aliens Speaking English: The official language for the Dragon Tribe is English. The official language everywhere else is Chinese.
- Proud Warrior Race: The Winged Tribe become this after been repressed by other tribes.
- Functional Magic: Pulsecraft. Anyone can learn it. However, only few can master it. So far the maximum amount of pulses that have been seen is six.
- Duels Decide Everything: If your a spirit warrior you can challenge a fellow warrior to a fuel. Your obligated to show them the number of pulses you have. Your also obligated to tell them your name and the region you came from.
- Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: The Kuiba is not neccesserily evil. It just has a really bad reputation for destroying stuff.
- Vicious Cycle: Kuiba occurs every 333 years; unknown if due to natural causes or greater powers. Has occurred at least 6 times.
- Skilled But Niave: Manji is the Kuiba, this allows him to overpower everyone in a one on one fight.
- Action Hero: Manji is this. Often resorting to violence because the villains aren't willing to compromise.
- Elites Are More Glamorous: If you don't have a shard, this world's symbol of competence, you can't do anything. Not even purchasing.
- The Proud Elite: Keraschok Pan, has one of the ten great shards. Arrogant to the extant of booking four rooms in a lodge. One for his sword, one for his clothes, one for the Dragon King's edict, and finally one for himself. Subverted, he was under pursuit. He booked four rooms so his enemies wouldn't know which room he was staying in.
- Wide-Eyed Idealist: Manji. He believes in merit, not birthright.
- Flat-Earth Atheist: One of the spirit warriors onboard refused to pray to gods just moment before Trueheart descend onto the ship.
- Time Travel: Not backwards in time, forwards. Their master is dead, and there's nothing they can do to prevent this from happening. The 12 Kuiba followers travel forwards in time to serve their reincarnated master.
