Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit (虹猫è“�å…”, pinyin: Hóng MaÌ„o LaÌ�n TuÌ€) is a Chinese animated television franchise that started in 2004. The franchise comprises several series with various premises, usually centered around the eponymous Hongmao ("Rainbow Cat") and Lantu ("Blue Rabbit"), as well as their friends Sally, Daben, Doudou, Tiaotiao, and Dada. These various entries span many different time periods and settings, typically with a comedy or action focus.However, the franchise is nearly synonymous with its best-known incarnation, Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit: Legend of the Seven Swordsmen (虹猫è“�å…”ä¸ƒä¾ ä¼ , pinyin: HoÌ�ng MaoÌ„ LaÌ�n TuÌ€ QiÌ„ XiaÌ� ZhuaÌ€n), a dark and dramatic wuxia tale and the subject of this page. The series follows Hongmao as he embarks on a journey prevent Black Tiger's conquest and destruction of his homeland by uniting the heirs of the seven swordsmen who first defeated him half a century ago. It received four follow-up series: Amu Star (虹冒è—�兔阿木星), Wielding a Sword to Distant Lands (虹猫仗剑走天涯), Bright Sword (虹猫è“�兔光明剑), and Return of the Brave (虹猫è“�兔勇者归æ�¥), as well as a movie called Fire Phoenix (虹猫è“�å…”ç�«å‡¤å‡°, lit: "Fire Fenghuang"). The Seven Warriors line has attracted much attention and some controversy for its mature themes and situations as well as its depictions of blood, violence, and self-sacrifice.The series has an official English dub, but overall, it seems to be mostly unknown outside of China. |

comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Downplayed with Niu Xuanfeng. He's a lot less conventionally evil than the rest of the antagonists, but he ultimately dies because he took action against Zhu Wujie, who broke the rules of his gamble with Daben. Played straight with Heixiaohu, at least initially. Moved by Lantu's self-sacrifice and kindness when she was getting the Crystal Flower, he refuses Zhu Wujie's suggestion to attack her while she was weakened. |

Official Couple: Downplayed - as a kids' show, none of the romances are outright/explicitly depicted, but there is very strong hinting. Hongmao/Lantu, though because of that they get tossed into some complex Love Triangle (see above). On the side, we have Daben/Sally. |

comment |
Character Development: Doudou starts off somewhat cowardly, but by the end of the series, he's just as brave as the rest of the Seven. A negative example of this is Heixiaohu - he originally started off noble and honourable, even going so far as to help Lantu on multiple occasions, but after she rejects him one too many times, he begins to use shady and deceptive tactics à la Zhu Wujie. |

Affably Evil: Niu Xuanfeng is far less cruel and threatening than the rest of the antagonists. He and Daben refer to each other with the honourific "xi�ngdì" (the Chinese equivalent of calling someone "bro") and are drinking/gambling buddies. He even has a Heel–Face Turn and uses his own body to shield Daben from arrows, losing his own life in the process. |

Driven to Suicide: Happens multiple times throughout the series. Sally attempts suicide after she no longer can use her right hand to wield a sword as a result of Ma Sanniang's torture. Tiaotiao almost jumps off a cliff when he thinks that his ten years of revenge planning were useless, but is stopped by Doudou. Dada attempts to slit his own throat after being forced to work against the other swordsmasters by Heixiaohu, who has his pregnant wife as a hostage. |

Love Triangle |

comment |
Love Triangle: In the first season, Heixiaohu - Heixinhu’s son, falls for Lantu because of her chivalry and kindness. Though he comes to hate Hongmao guts out of envy for her affection, his feeling ends up saving the heroes several times. Season 4 makes it a love rectangle. Basically, we have the daughter of Phoenix Guǎn, Shui Dingdang, who develops a crush on Hongmao after he acknowledges her wish to do martial arts while an amnesiac Lantu sees herself having affection for the ice-cold genius Hantian, the person who saved her and has been taking care of her because he thought she’s similar to his late mother. |

Unicorns Are Sacred: Qilin's presence keeps the peace of the land in balance.note "麒麟" is sometimes translated as "unicorn", though, strictly speaking, the qilin is a kind of chimera. |

Action Girl: Lantu and Sally fit the bill, as well as Ma Sanniang. In fact, many of the girls in the series are capable of asskicking in one way or another, heroes and villains alike. |

Battle Couple: Due to the setting that involves a lot of fighting, many couples in this series kick ass together, with the most prominent being our titular Hongmao and Lantu. |

comment |
Dub Name Change: Since the characters’ names are all Chinese and very difficult for foreign audiences, they get changed for the dubs, saved for a very few that are easier to understand (like Sally or Dada). Tease (Dou Dou), Big Ben (Daben) and Jumper (Tiao-tiao) are among the most visibly altered. |

The Mole: Ma Sanniang steals Sally's sword and pretends to be its rightful heir, attempting to turn the other heroes against Sally. Tiatiao the monkey is one of Bull Whirlwind's comrades at the beginning of the series, but he works to protect Hongmao and Lantu from Bull Whirlwind's attempts to capture them. |

You Killed My Father: Tiaotiao's primary motivation in the series is to seek revenge for the murder of his parents at the hands of Heixinhu. In the finale episode of S1, he and the rest of the Seven kill Heixinhu. Similarly, Daben is furious at Zhu Wujie for causing the death of his Godmother, though it is ultimately Heixiaohu who kills Zhu Wujie. |
