Scissor Seven (abbreviated as "Seven") is a Chinese original 2D animated series that premiered in 2018, created by director He Xiaofeng and produced by Aha Entertainment and Xiaofeng Pictures. It is one of the most highly acclaimed "shining lights of Chinese animation" in recent years. Style: hilarious and heartwarming + hot-blooded action + everyday warmth, with a Cantonese (Guangdong-flavored Mandarin) flavor 📖 Plot Summary The protagonist, Wu Liuqi, appears to be a barber at the "Dabao Barbershop" on Chicken Island, but is actually an amnesiac bargain assassin whose weapon is a pair of scissors. Before his amnesia: He was Qi, the leader of the Seven Shadow Assassins of Xuanwu Kingdom. For protecting a woman in white, he betrayed the organization, was hunted down, and fell into a river, losing his memory. Daily life: He lives on Chicken Island with Dabao and Little Flying Chicken, taking on bizarre assassination missions, yet he always ends up being the one moved, choosing instead to protect his target. Main plot: He gradually awakens his memories, faces the pursuit from Xuanwu Kingdom, and ultimately chooses to protect the island and his companions as "Wu Liuqi." Contrasting character: a useless barber vs. the strongest shadow assassin — sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, gentle yet hot-blooded. Healing core: Beneath the slapstick exterior lies the warmth and dignity of ordinary people; every story has its tear-jerking moments. Top-tier fight scenes: Smooth, explosive 2D hand-drawn animation, with iconic moments like the Demon Blade Qianren and scissor duels going viral. Down-to-earth: Cantonese-flavored Mandarin, street-level humor, and Guangdong street-style art make it incredibly relatable. Growth theme: From "born to kill" to "fighting to protect" — letting go of being the strongest and embracing the ordinary.
