Overview
Tang San spent his life in the Tang Outer Sect, dedicated to the creation and mastery of hidden weapons. Once he stole the secret lore of the Inner Sect to reach the pinnacle of his art, his only way out was death. But after throwing himself off the deadly Hell's Peak he was reborn in a different world, the world of Douluo Dalu, a world where every person has a spirit of their own, and those with powerful spirits can practice their spirit power to rise and become Spirit Masters. The spirit that awakens within Tang San is Blue Silver Grass, a useless spirit. Can he overcome the difficulties to reach the high ranks of Spirit Masters and bring the glory of the Tang Sect into this new world?

Primary

As a Chinese fantasy production, 'Soul Land' features an East Asian cast and characters, where the concept of traditionally white roles is not applicable. The narrative centers on cultivation and adventure, portraying male and female characters in roles typical for the genre without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on Western-defined DEI themes.
Secondary
The show features several female Spirit Masters, including Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, who frequently engage in and win close-quarters physical fights against male opponents. Their victories are achieved through martial arts, agility, and direct physical strikes, often augmented by their spirit abilities.
The show "Soul Land" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The story primarily focuses on heterosexual relationships, cultivation, and fantasy elements, with no explicit or implicit queer representation.
