A bit of context for the Ch 3 animation. Yellowbrow and Jinchanzi (Tang Sanzang/Tripitaka) debated endlessly about human nature. Yellowbrow believed humans to be inherently bad and inferior while Jinchanzi believed them to be inherently good. And so to really put their debate to the test, Yellowbrow turned himself into that sea creature to put his theory to the test. After the dust settled when they were sitting at that beach, they debated some more with Yellowbrow gloating while Jinchanzi saying that his test was rigged from the start. Yellowbrow deliberately entrapped these villagers to produce the worst outcome. In Jinchanzi's words, humans will obviously act terribly when manipulated in such a way.
It reminds me of this quote, “To look at people in capitalist society and conclude that human nature is egoism, is like looking at people in a factory where pollution is destroying their lungs and saying that it is human nature to cough” We are incredibly responsive to our environment, and if cooperation and generosity paid off more than greed, these questions would never be debated
Explanation of the ending cinematic: Yellowbrow and Jin Chanzi argued over the nature of humanity. Yellowbrow believes humans are selfish and greedy, Jin does not and the two make a bet. Yellowbrow transforms into a giant turtle monster, gets captured by a fishing village, and grants miracles and riches to the inhabitants in exchange for nothing. Humans worship the magical turtle. Greed is stoked (if you look at right before the guy starts moving, his clothes flutter as if pulled toward the turtle monster) and the residents destroy the turtle then themselves in their desires. Jin and Yellowbrow reunite and Yellowbrow claims to have won the bet. Jin argues "you chose a means to an end, not a proof" meaning Yellowbrow only TAUGHT humans to be selfish and greedy, not proved that they are. I have no idea if this is an actual Chinese parable or folktale, but it is very interesting and beautifully animated. Props to the devs.
Personally think that yellowbrow still prove it but only 80% correct. I said this because Tang Sanzang before achieving the enlightenment he's so naive and one lined thinking. 👏🏻🤣
@@marrymejisoo3413Yellowbrow is absolutely not right. I’m not good at explaining this so this is a comment I copied from @zl4101 “ ...yes he won, but only under specific circumstances -- most of the test subjects he chose were poor, busy dealing with hardship and probably lack of exposure to the bigger world as well as impact of karma & the samsara, even there were some monks and officials among them, they probably don’t see beyond their current lives. It is like putting candies in front of 3-year-olds and tell them to resist temptation with them yet to develop the deep cognition and intelligence to understand the purpose & significance of resisting it. People don’t raise their kids by simply giving kids what they want all the time because that sure ruins the kids for good. Guiding souls to mature has same logic. Also It is wrong to say human is inherently kind/evil. That also goes back to the Buddhist believes -- 1.all sentient beings (including human) are malleable and there is not a single inherent nature to them. Not kindness not evilness. 2.unelightened sentient beings are constantly reincarnating and taking different life forms depending on their karma, like going back n forth between being human, yaoguai, celestial beings (like the Yellow Brow himself), animals, bugs or suffering souls in hell etc. so there is no reason to discriminate any of them. 3. Not only undergoing different life forms, uneligtened ones also uncontrollably undergo states of being kind/evil depending on their karmic habits and cycles. Good people can go evil, vice versa. Because there is simply no fixed nature in sentient beings. The Yellow Brow has no reasons to justify his discrimination against man. Buddhas don't just naturally exist as Buddhas from the start. They, like Jin Chanzi or Yellow Brow or the villagers, were also once wandering souls in the universe. And after eons years of reincarnation and being good and bad, some of the souls begin to seek ways to ascend beyond mortal. And after eons years of attempts, they find the way. Then after eons years of cultivation, they are fully enlightened. The purpose of spiritual practice is not for one to ascend to a higher plane and obtain supernatural power/immortality then use it to judge the less fortunate ones. That Yellow Brow rigged the situation to justify his view is just sheer ignorance and arrogance. Or pathetic like what Jin Chanzi said.”
Afro my man. If you want thic kaioken, stack your maximum mana. Check that second last skill point for Spellbinder. Higher the maximum mana, more damage. There's a curio and a spirit summon that buff you. But you play your game brother, love your stuff!
So, did Afro finally figure out the yellow robed “baby boy” is yellow brow? Anyways, there is some lore: Yellow brow mentioned Jinchanzi which is San-Zang in previous lives. Jinchanzi reincarnated nine lifetimes to become San-Zang and started the journey to the west. Back when he was still Jinchanzi in heaven, he argued with yellow brow (an alter boy) a lot about Buddha’s teaching and human nature. The animation in at the end shows yellow brow descends from heaven to prove a point to Jinchanzi that human’s are greedy. However, there is a little detail you might have missed in the animation. The man in the crowd who first stabbed the “big turtle” creature is initially pulled by some unseen force (you can see his cloth gets pulled forward). A lot of people say it was yellow brow who pulled the man toward him to start chaos. So, he cheated to prove humans are greedy. Also, like Jinchanzi said, he chose a mean to an end, not to a proof. It’s absurd.
You locking in a spellbind build for this yellow brow boss was smart cause if you use spells on him he uses them against you. U go to immobilise him he gets instant invincibility and if you use clones while he's gold your clones start attacking you instead for their full duration
Yoo wtf. I never noticed that, and when you use ring of fire he creates a lightning circle around it that traps you. I wonder if he does anything for rock solid. I actually got spell binder after fighting that boss so I didn’t know the spell was meant to counter him lol. Similar to the wind and fire thing
So to explain, the binding skill in multiple ways. 1. You need a lot of stamina for max of 15-20 percent crit rate. 2. Keep stacking upaximum mana to get an extreme amount of attack. 3. Using a certain "demon" armor set will give you the true souls-like experience. It's by far one of my favorite builds, but it's high risk high reward. Be prepared to dodge.
@@hmoobv4j154 yeah...I did say cloud step is useful against his first unblockable Immobilize is good in his first phase, and cloud step can dodge his first unblockable afterwards, transformations become far more useful...using them when health is low to give a second life, and then backing away when it wears off to heal
I just beat Yellobrow today. That guy could pass as the final boss in any other game yet he’s only the mid game boss here. Also, this chapter is HUMONGOUS! Hard to believe there are three more chapters left. This game is way bigger than it seemed at first. I’m trying my best to stay just enough ahead of Afro so I can watch his videos without getting spoiled for anything.
Ch. 4 is also very large but Ch. 5 is really short and Ch. 6 is in a physically large area thats mostly empty, so it kinda peaks in the middle and tapers off.
@@mediumvillain I gotcha. Yea I’m in the middle of chapter 4 right now. I felt like I was near the final boss of the chapter a few times and it just keeps going. It’s kind of refreshing that the game didn’t turn into just a linear path from boss fight to boss fight like the critics complained about.
hey afro. this is actually more of a "hey i want to point his out" cause it probably wont be reached during your youtube playthrough. and also a hey fun fact i noticed playing it myself. Apparently the max level you can level up to in the game is 342. its ironic because in Sun Wukong's actual lore in the novels, the age of life and death of him was 342 before he made the ruler of the underworld erase his name from everything. the also great play on that when the game starts with actual wukong. its why you do not have a health bar because you are already immortal by then and unkillable.
@@dighad3824 no those permanent upgrades but you can only upgrade them a certain number of times. You are probably thinking of the normal medicines that temporarily increase your stats those are different.
If anyone was curious, yes, the stuff that yellowbrow was spouting before and during his fight was completely contrary to essentially every version of Buddhism that exists. “Blasphemy” isn’t really a thing in Buddhism, but if it was, that would be it
Wait, blasphemy doesn't exist in Buddhism? How does that work? And wasn't the baby's peer the originator of those contrary ideas, of which Yellowbrow suddenly showed he agreed with? I am multiple kinds of confused right now.
@@DragonKing-te9wy I guess in the sense of speaking against sacred concepts specifically, “blasphemy” does exist. The biggest reason I don’t like the term is it connotes speaking against some sort of “god” which doesn’t really apply in Buddhism. And Gautama Buddha was not the first Buddha, there were several that came before him too.
@@DragonKing-te9wy wait which of Maitreya’s peers originated those ideas? That might be something outside of the somewhat limited knowledge of Buddhism I have
The story is more than just about the human greed. Disclaim: this is just a fiction developed based off Journey to the West, not actually related to religion. Jin Chanzi the monk=>the previous incarnation of Tang SanZang Turtle spirit=>the previous incarnation of Yellow Brow, and the turtle wasn't his true form. He just temporarily appeared as turtle. The monk and the turtle, they were Dharma brothers practicing Buddhism under the same lineage. That's why the monk called him Ji I (Shi Xiong/Senior Brother) in the Chinese dub. They had differing views over human nature and the turtle believed that humans were inherently evil (humans are evil by nature->therefore they will turn greedy and have bad deed eventually), and the turtle had very twisted obsession to win the debate. To prove himself right, he descended into the mortal realm and appeared as a giant turtle, purposely letting the impoverished villagers capture him. Then he started showing off his super natural powers including healing, secreting pearls, granting youth and beauty, fishing from sea using water bending etc. Being plagued with poverty for so long, the impoverished villagers started insanely worshipping him as the Buddha's avatar (which is a lie and going against Buddha's teaching). The insatiable desires grew as much as the lives of the people there were bettered. Instead of offering guidance and teaching people to grow wiser and be self-resilient, the giant turtle intentionally gave them the easy way out and cultivated their greed and made them heavily dependent on him. At the end, the villagers lost their sanity as he expected. And he proudly said to his junior brother Jin Chanzi that he won the debate and proved that humans were simply evil. Jin Chanzi criticised him for " inverting the consequence and cause" i.e. creating a desired consequence and to prove his own belief of the existence of an evil nature within man. Ps：［祸乱人心，倒果为因 / sowing misguidance among people to cause chaos, inverting the consequence and cause] is the original line in the Chinese dub got translated as " choose means over ends"
It looks like you only have one soak on your gourd. As you upgrade it at certain levels you can add more soaks to it making it stronger. If you forgot how to its at either a shrine or the drunken monkey there is an option under I believe "Brew". Loving the videos keep it up!
for chapter 3, you only need to go to the melon field and you achieved one requirement of true end. for other 4 chapters before chapter 6, you need to finish final bosses inside hidden areas. and I really recommend you to finish all frogs in all chapters and upgrade it. seriously you will love it, bro.
The move when you continously poke using the staff can be held as long as you have stamina and is actually just a skill you upgrade in the long thrust stance.. each stance has a special attack you can do mid combos. The first stance has the overhead slam that can ignore an enemies attack. The attack where you spin on the pole and hit groups of enemies is a special attack for stance where you balance on top of the staff. Read your skill descriptions
Hey @AfroSenju, nice video as always. About the bosses, you don't have to beat every boss in the game but if you do, there's a true ending for the game
Idk if you know this but the Fox mission you did was about the story they showed when you finished chapter 2. That dead fox was the one the man killed after he had that dream about him marrying her and her killing his family in the future
Big detail for kaioken is at near max level the more mana you have the more damage you can do. It’s even more godly if you start using the crit and damage boost medicine combined with the tiger spirit with the sword that also buffs crit from the second chapter
im not that far into the vid but the best way to use the transformation is with smash stance and the full pilgrim armor set and uprgade being able to run while charging
Pro tip with using Yin Tiger as a transformation: guard till your focus gauge is maxed out, use windwalker and start attacking whilst in windwalker state. Trust me, it does insane damage. 🐯
Even better tip: Build up your focus to a full four bars before transforming and then you can use windwalker as soon as you transform. This is also super helpful against any boss that flinches even slightly, since the windwalker state causes back to back staggering and tons of damage.
The medicines that get rid of and provide resistance against elements actually provide a timed immunity, which is extremely useful for any boss fight that is using one of the four banes. Use the mind cores at the Xu Dog to create celestial medicines that provide very valuable permanent buffs. Spell binder uses mana and stamina to increase damage/critical respectively. You can use the equipment item, summon and transformation before activating spell binder if something is giving you too much issue. Each chapter has a secret area that is worth exploring and completing.
Afro during moments like that first boss, you gotta use medicines! You can craft them at any shrine, they can totally negate status effects like frost making that boss way easier
The bigger mana bar u have the more damage you deal with spell binder! So there's a talisman for +30 mana, a specific mob can drop it by farming u can easily get 2 of those and make ur build perfect
Pro tip: change your spirit to Non-able or something else that passively boost your damage since you can't use it as an attack when you're using spell binder
Afro if you use the first armor that you get after killing the wolf guy you can keep upgrading it to mythical once you do you can. Use your gourd when running you can stack damage by running you also do way more damage when you begin the fight once you stack with Pilar stance ts is op
I can't remember, I don't think Afro found the end of the Treasure Hunter quest line. He needs to do that to unlock the true ending for the Great Pagoda. To gain access to the Great Pagoda Afro needs to complete all the secret areas for all 5 chapters except chapter 3, to access it.
I just watched all your Wukong vids but seen you hasn’t got as far as yellow brow and was sad because I’m currently stuck on him and makes me want to peel all my skin off but you just uploaded this! Looking forward to it
YEAAA WOOOOOO! I ASKED OF THE BLACK MYTH WOKONG AND CAME BACK BABY! CONTINUO THIS SERIES I LOVE IT May be I skipped some parts BUT DO U THINK IMA WATHC THIS FOR 5 HOURS???
If you guys know from Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order/Survivor, yall know that Afro is not finishing the next Chapter 4. Only OGs who know the lore know why he's gonna crash out.
Best way to use spell binder is to have a max mana build, activate the spell, then switch to a crit build. You get the benefits of both. Also the first armor set (pilgrim’s set) is utterly busted with this spell and the running perks in smash stance
you could use your heavy attack in the middle of your light attack combo in smash and thrust stance to attacks and counter to be more aggressive in boss fights.
Yo afro, the kio-ken was stronger to use in the yellow brow boss fight. If you had used the clones, yellow brow would have manipulated their minds, causing your clones to fight you.
Day 40 of asking Afro to play Metal Gear Rising! (40th day! Afro, you need to try Metal Gear Rising. You're literally him in that game. Also, can you also try finishing Ninja Gaiden? I really enjoyed that series.)

About the bosses, you don't have to beat every boss in the game but if you do, there's a true ending for the game
I love how the game developers were like "You don't f*ck with all this spell bs? Bet, we got you."
6:43 honestly pretty satisfying because wtf were u even doing Afro 🤣
Cant wait for Afro to fight Erlang and the disrespectful final boss
Bruh the sonic and the secret rings reference was CRAZY
fun fact the little fox you helped was the spirit of the fox from ch 2 animation and the monk was the guy who killed her
This Yellowbrow boss fight was pure cinema.
38:44 Yeah, that could be about the stories About the dangerous of being greedy Or so I think😅😅😅
Gotta love the canon Afro series man nothings better than
some summonings give you extra stats when equipped, for examply the one-eye daoist gives you more stamina
fun fact...Yellowbrow's first "unblockable" can be avoid if you go into cloud step right before he yells to trigger the attack
Idk if you know this but the Fox mission you did was about the story they showed when you finished chapter 2. That dead fox was the one the man killed after he had that dream about him marrying her and her killing his family in the future
The yellow brow dude be yapping like zamasu fr fr
Big detail for kaioken is at near max level the more mana you have the more damage you can do. It’s even more godly if you start using the crit and damage boost medicine combined with the tiger spirit with the sword that also buffs crit from the second chapter
14:53 That's one of the theme's from Sonic and the seven world rings. Didn't know you'd either played that or seen that Afro.
Afro good luck on the next chapter, it’s not crazy hard (final boss is imo) but the enemies are gonna have your skin crawling
Knowing Afro, chapter four is gonna KILL him. Can’t wait for the freak out lmao
im not that far into the vid but the best way to use the transformation is with smash stance and the full pilgrim armor set and uprgade being able to run while charging
6:50 just sayin, they have little pots that remove certain banes and give you a reduction to said bane(frost especially)
Pro tip with using Yin Tiger as a transformation: guard till your focus gauge is maxed out, use windwalker and start attacking whilst in windwalker state. Trust me, it does insane damage. 🐯
Even better tip: Build up your focus to a full four bars before transforming and then you can use windwalker as soon as you transform. This is also super helpful against any boss that flinches even slightly, since the windwalker state causes back to back staggering and tons of damage.
bro is soo entertaining he got me watching lets plays again
well guys, its been fun. Ain't no way afro completing chapter 4, those who know know
11:30 I don't read! I'm dyslexic! 🤣🤣🤣
Bro I immediately went to the comments at this part to see if anybody else found this as funny as I did🤣🤣🤣
I love watching a monke play a monke that is trying to become like a monke
"Seven rings in hand" was definitely not expecting _that_ reference!
One of your best series for sure
congrats on 2 mil brother. well deserved.
The medicines that get rid of and provide resistance against elements actually provide a timed immunity, which is extremely useful for any boss fight that is using one of the four banes.
Use the mind cores at the Xu Dog to create celestial medicines that provide very valuable permanent buffs.
Spell binder uses mana and stamina to increase damage/critical respectively.
You can use the equipment item, summon and transformation before activating spell binder if something is giving you too much issue.
Each chapter has a secret area that is worth exploring and completing.
Let’s go another upload from my glorious king
Afro during moments like that first boss, you gotta use medicines! You can craft them at any shrine, they can totally negate status effects like frost making that boss way easier
I bet the flame circle would have helped too
Leveling up the perfect dodge to expose is OP
Little does senju know all you need to do with projectiles is spin your staff and it deflects them this goes for bosses too
I really struggled on the Non Void just to find out you can deflect his attacks! Smh…
Hey Afro there’s a goard accessory that gives you back mana when you heal
From what it sounds like, you got mad lucky for using spell bind cause the boss could manipulate yours spells against you. XD
The bigger mana bar u have the more damage you deal with spell binder! So there's a talisman for +30 mana, a specific mob can drop it by farming u can easily get 2 of those and make ur build perfect
Pro tip: change your spirit to Non-able or something else that passively boost your damage since you can't use it as an attack when you're using spell binder
Dude, this series is Awesome!!!!!
Afro if you use the first armor that you get after killing the wolf guy you can keep upgrading it to mythical once you do you can. Use your gourd when running you can stack damage by running you also do way more damage when you begin the fight once you stack with Pilar stance ts is op
I can't remember, I don't think Afro found the end of the Treasure Hunter quest line. He needs to do that to unlock the true ending for the Great Pagoda. To gain access to the Great Pagoda Afro needs to complete all the secret areas for all 5 chapters except chapter 3, to access it.
Afro always says *"I'm gonna do blind playthrough"* and proceeds to let his friend make his build
Christ bless you, this Will make you overpowered no matter what
Love the art for these videos man keep it up!
I just realized the blue robed "baby boy" is where Toriyama got the idea for Krillins design
If you go to the settings you can turn on damage numbers to get a better idea of how much damage you and enemies are doing
That Non-Void kill was clean asf
this build is CRAZY i struggled so hard with this boss too lol
Damn Spell Binder’s crazy good on the boss. Would’ve used it if I had it
Wow the 5 gum joke out of nowhere 😂😂😂havent herd that in years
i don’t know if afro is gonna survive next chapter because of his arachnophobia
I just watched all your Wukong vids but seen you hasn’t got as far as yellow brow and was sad because I’m currently stuck on him and makes me want to peel all my skin off but you just uploaded this! Looking forward to it
YEAAA WOOOOOO! I ASKED OF THE BLACK MYTH WOKONG AND CAME BACK BABY! CONTINUO THIS SERIES I LOVE IT May be I skipped some parts BUT DO U THINK IMA WATHC THIS FOR 5 HOURS???
If you guys know from Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order/Survivor, yall know that Afro is not finishing the next Chapter 4. Only OGs who know the lore know why he's gonna crash out.
Didn’t watch his runs for those mind telling me?
That boy gonna be cooked in chapter 4 😂
The higher your base mana is the more atk you get in spellbinder mode. So its actually usefull to have high mana even when you cant use magic
Best way to use spell binder is to have a max mana build, activate the spell, then switch to a crit build. You get the benefits of both. Also the first armor set (pilgrim’s set) is utterly busted with this spell and the running perks in smash stance
you could use your heavy attack in the middle of your light attack combo in smash and thrust stance to attacks and counter to be more aggressive in boss fights.
The amount of times he makes me scream HEAL!
Dude does fight wild. Especially when he could've been killed yellow brow 😂
Only watched the wukong series from this RUclips and I already love this guy. Keep up the hard work man ❤️
You honestly had me had 00:34 with the no like goals
FRR
That first boss is the best example of why medicines are important
Only Afro would struggle with a mini boss
Yo afro, the kio-ken was stronger to use in the yellow brow boss fight. If you had used the clones, yellow brow would have manipulated their minds, causing your clones to fight you.
And now for my favorite part of the day, turning on some AfroTV
Love you Afro ur vids really helped a brotha out a lot
Day 40 of asking Afro to play Metal Gear Rising!
(40th day! Afro, you need to try Metal Gear Rising. You're literally him in that game. Also, can you also try finishing Ninja Gaiden? I really enjoyed that series.)
