Confucius in 21th century二十一世纪神力大戰
(like 21世紀殺人網絡 The Matrix)
Time: flash backs between modern day and 500BC (like in Fringe)
500 BC: Confucianism (儒) Taoism (道) Buddhism (釋) are rival spiritual schools.
The Buddhism is the bad guys who want to copyright every teachings, books, ideas they have and make profit out of them. The religion cult uses its martial art to control colleges, military, and other shady business. (adding today's news of corrupted, sex scandals of the temples - http://hk.news.yahoo.com/article/100816/4/jq93.html , http://hk.news.yahoo.com/event/fc/20101110/hkbudmur.html )
(like the novel Shaolin #8 bronze man by Giddens Ko少林寺第8銅人 - 九把刀)
If Confucius, Zhuangzi (莊子), and Lao Zi (老子) didn’t stop the evil branch, there would be no modern world.
Modern Day: Confucius is a teacher (like X-Men) by day, with 5 students (like in Cyborg 009 サイボーグ 009) scattered around west coast.
- main protagonist – pointed hair teenage guy, cannot get along with others, but has potential save the world (like in Full Metal Panic! フルメタル·パニック!,Kekkaishi 結界師)
- heroine - pretty, smart, long hair student (love interest) (like in Kagome in Inuyasha 犬夜叉, 釋素素 in 天下 Storm Riders 風雲 etc. )
- geekie one (like in Unnatural History, tower prep)
- the rebel (like teenage mutant ninja turtles)
- giant muscle
