@@rolux4853 Lego Monkie Kid.Basically,Lego wants to sell to China so they made a JTTW-based theme.They hired Flying Bark animations (the studio that worked on Rise of TMNT),that animates the series in a bombastic Sakuga-inspired style.The overall story is really good for a cartoon for kids and the voice acting is also really good (they got Goku's voice to voice Sun Wukong,and yeah,expect to hear Goku screaming).The main premise is about a (really goofy) kid (with Sokka's VA) who Wukong chose as a successor who has friends that are suspiciously similar to the pilgrims.I consider it kind of a hybrid of Shonen & Saturday morning cartoon,it has comedy and it has really good action.I was interested cause the MC reminds me of Forbidden Kingdom's Jason Tripitikas (cause the protag is a massive geek too) without the Isekai & Wukong is actually around. Sadly the previous studio left to animate ATLA movie (I still hope they come back somehow),but I still think the last episodes of the recent season to be pretty good (and pretty heavy) for a kid's show even with a visible rushed production in terms of each episode's pacing & animation.
If you stay still with Bajie, there is a chance that Bajie say that Wukong took Bajie to drink and got him drunk, and then he went to fight Erlang Shen at the beginning of the game.
@RedShogun13 He knew the fight wouldn't end well, and got Zhu Bajie drunk to keep him safe. He also wanted to have a few laughs with him one last time. In the end, he truly cared about that pig.
Zhu Bajie is such a warm loving guy. He was both nice to Sun Wukong for obvious reasons but he was also nice to Wukong's potential successor. I know all Wukong's children (the destined monkeys on Huaguo mountain) are all willing to sacrifice their body for Wukong to use when he's revived. I can't help but feel kinda sad knowing that Bajie seems to bond with the little guy a lil bit, when Wukong is revived our character will technically die though. I wonder how Zhu Bajie felt :(
Not how it works. The original plan is to just find the relics, return them to wukong, then revive him. Spoiler At the end it's revealed your actually wukong's reincarnation and that he died on purpose to gain freedom. In other words your still the same person, you just remember your past life.
The Destined One doesn't die at the end, though. Spoilers In the true ending, Wukong's plan works: The Destined One gets all the relics + Wukongs's memories (from Erlang) and doesn't let the old monkey put the headband on him. It's not that Wukong reincarnated into the Destined One. The Destined One was Wukong all along (or rather, one of his clones, as the Life-Saving Strand spell seems to imply), just without his memories and strength, since he didn't have the relics.
@EllesGhost13 We know. It's just kinda funny that we have two back to back adaptations/sequels to Journey To The West, where Baije acts like a mentor to some chosen one successor to Wukong in recent years.
@@goblinofsharksnacks I am talking about how Baji treating the Destined one like a son. In Lego Monkie Kid Series, Pigsy literally adopts the main character [ not Wukong but with Wukong's powers ] and actively call him son. And the MC even said that Pigsy is his parent.
I finished the game today and god Bajie is just a amazing character he struggled and suffered a lot of pain in his life now to learn that not only is Wukong who is basically like a brother to him dead permanently but the boy he traveled with who he saw as like his own son is Wukong’s reincarnation destined to take up his name Bajie doesn’t want this for him he wants him to be better than Wukong and not suffer the same fate but he knows he can’t stop the Destined one not with words or in a fight so atleast he wants to try and help him in this fight to come but even that he is not allowed to do i do hope if a DLC comes that he comes back i enjoyed him as a character and traveling companion
In the original novel, he *was* a fierce-looking hairy wild boar, albeit a much bigger one. The TV show changed the appearance to make him look less fierce.
The domestic pig during Ming dynasty when the novel was written had black fur and black skin and did resemble wild boar. This design would have been closer to what the author was envisioning. The pale nearly hairless pigs were a foreign breed introduced into China much later. It came to dominate domestic pig production because it grows to maturity faster than the black hairy pigs.
The most beautiful about Pigsy here is, he is just like an uncle to the destined one. Reminds me abit of Toph and Korra to be honest. And to be honest, I like Pigsy far more here than in the novel. Most of the times Pigsy was the reason why Wukong and the Tang Monk got into trouble to begin with. He was kind of a dickhead. But I guess after being promoted to Celestial Janitor and cleaning up all the offerin shrines on earth and in heaven does humble you and makes you a better person.
I was so certain they were going to kill him with how much of a relationship we developed with this pig. Pleasantly surprised none of those red flags came true.
Maybe because in English speaking culture, People would call a young boy who not related to them "Son" and not "Nephew". I think that the translator team thought that unless people know about Chinese or Asian culture where they have a tendency to treat people that close to them as relative, Having Bajie call Monkey "Nephew" wouldn't sounded... well, "right" for the English speaker's ears. I mean, Have you seen clip of steamers react to the game opening? When Wukong called Erlang "Brother" many of them all go "They're brother?" when the thing is, That's just a courtesy or a familiar way for guys to call one another in many Asian countries.
It's likely a cultural thing. I'm guessing Bajie calls him nephew in Chinese because to him Wukong is a brother, and the destined one is akined to Wukong's successor/offspring, and so Bajie and him having an uncle/nephew dynamic. This doesn't really translate over in the west, the closest thing you have is an older person calling someone younger 'son'.
@@cykrya5156 Not really... Since it seem like they want to indicate a familiar tie that had been build up between Destined One and Bajie, "Kid" is kinda too generic. So "Son" is supposedly come in closest in term of the word that suited for relay the message from Chinese without causing any misunderstanding. Look at it this way, Let's say... If English only kind of people who don't know anything about all these stuff come across the clip of the two interacting, Which word would be better in helping they understand the situation? With "Kid", That would simply imply that Bajie is Older but that's that... A bit too little. With "Nephew", Some might misunderstand that they're related. I mean... We looking at two "humanoid animals" talking to one another here. With "Son", The same problem with "Nephew" could also happen... But then again, A chance of them taking a look and see that one one is a boar while another one is a monkey and starting thinking that might not be the case is also a bit more higher. So, "Son" it is... Well, That's my thought anyway.
It honestly makes sense for Zhu Bajie to care a lot for the destined one, as he was the second disciple recruited to protect tang seng in journey to the west and all the flaws and mistakes wukong has been through
In the novel, the original Journey to the west, Bajie is a towering and menacing fat black-furred boar with a big belly Modern adaptations try to make him look smaller and more adorable. Instead of a hideous boar, it's a pig. Sides, Bajie is getting old. Old people aren't exactly towering giants.
Well, sure, but why is wukong so tall? In the novel, he's not even four feet tall( which is massive for a rhesus macaque), and I know he can shrink and grow at will, but usually, he's near that three and a half to three quarter foot.
Mainly because if he will. It means heaven will go after her. He is reluctantly doesn’t acknowledge his daughter and doesn’t return wife feelings. Because heaven are constantly watching him, even after he completed journey.
Hated that guy for some reason, I don’t know what he wanted revenge for but he felt like some radical rebel who thought too high of himself thanks to his cause
Black Myth Wukong have one character missing Sha Wujing . Where is he ? DLC ? Become full Buddha or did I miss something in the game ? The gang need a reunion .
Better too, I don't really care about the whole story aspect, but I felt they missed out when they took away the huge weapon and magic varieties that were in 1 - 3
Ok, its gonna be long so you need to play the game (or read the book called “Journey to the West”) to know the full story. [WARNING: LONG TEXT AND POOR GRAMMAR] In short, the demon kid eat the mind stone you metion is called Red Boy. He’s the kid of that giant bull, the Demon Bull King, near the fighting area, dying, weaken. Red Boy was seeking for revenge so he craved for power and the only thing can give him such power at the moment is the Monkey King - Sun wukong’s relics. And who is Sun Wukong? He’s a powerful immortal monkey that cant never be killed. He had achieved 7 layers of immortal and in the end of the book “Journey to the West”, he achieved to Buddahood called the Victorious Fighting Buddah / Buddan that win all the fight (that makes him officially immortal i think.) the game takes place after the journey, the time when he grows sick of being Heaven’s lap dog so he wants to retire and live peacefully with his monkeys on his homeland. Unfortunately for him, those high aboves still afraid of his power so they give the order to level his mountain and killing his kinds. Can he go against them? He can, he once party hard up there and made Buddah himself showed up and sealed him under mountain for 500 years. The problem here is that he still got the golden crown that cause his head extreme pain, the crown his master used to discipline him whenever he crossed the line (killing people, go against his master words,…) which is weird because once he had achieved to Buddahood, his crown should be taken off long ago. Looks like those gods up there still havent trusted him just yet, so they still keep that crown on his head to prevent him from doing something stupid like bite them back like he used to. And then monkey comes up with the plan, he teamed up with Erlang (the god we encountered in the intro of the game) and faked his death. Only his physical body died, the other parts of him, all 6 relics will be scattered to many places. Why he did that? Because he want to rebirth in a new body that have no crown to limits his power. Thats the true ending’s plot. If you failed to find all 6 relics, the destined one, his new body have to wear that crown again, its an endless loop until he himself breaks it. And to explain the scene, after reading those informations above, im sure you can guess how powerful Sun Wukong is by now. So after his death, even though those relics hold only part his great power but it still too much for a mere demon to absorb. if they failed, they will be greeted by a great pain, if they succeed, then they become more powerful than ever like Red Boy.
22:00 The worry in his voice. He really didn't want the destined one to go through all the bad stuff Wukong did and repeat history.
I remember him saying “don’t forget your uncle bajie in the end”
If I had a nickle for every time Sun Wukongs successor had a pig for a dad, I'd have two...
Which isn't alot but it's strange that it happened twice
*successor

I mean,not wrong-
In the original Chinese dub, Bajie actually seen the Destined One as his nephew. Maybe they change it to Son would sound more intimacy.
Prolly cause saying "son" in English is more commonplace than calling a kid unrelated to you "nephew"
I was so certain they were going to kill him with how much of a relationship we developed with this pig. Pleasantly surprised none of those red flags came true.
I actually find Eng VA for Bajie pretty good. As good as Chinese.
More like uncle and nephew since Bajie and Wukong were in a sibling relation under a same master.
