    First of all, great reaction video! Here are some lore i know about the last character who, i agree with you, will be a very important one in the game:
    The last character wearing a yellow rope is the Yellow-Browed Demon. In the original novel Journey to the West, the Yellow-Browed Demon tricked Wukong and Tangseng (his master) into believing that they had arrived at the final destination of the journey - Leiyin Temple, where in fact it was just a trap set by the Yellow-Browed Demon. In the novel, Wukong was captured by him and was detained under his gold cymbal (the huge gold disc you see at the end of the trailer). If you listen carefully, you can hear three knocks at13:09 indicating someone was inside. In the novel, it was Kangjin Dragon (the statue you see at 3:07 was his human figure) who rescued Wukong by drilling a hole in the gold cymbal with his dragon horn, hence the significance of the statue displayed by itself (instead of among other statues in the trailer).
    The Yellow-Browed Demon used to be a disciple of the Maitreya Buddha who was also called the Future Buddha. In the trailer at 12:07, the Yellow-Browed Demon called himself the Future Buddha and was scolding, "Why are you not paying respect (bowing)to me? " His was also the voice in the entire trailer.
    There are tons of lore in the game trailer in terms of characters, scenes, locations, building, and music. The developers really put lots of effort into it. I hope it comes out great!

    Goku is Wukong and Wukong is Goku, they're the same character taken by a Chinese novel called "Journey to the west". It's really famous in Asia. You should read it because it has crazily epic storyline! Wukong is a monkey king but they made Goku as an ape. Goku's cloud (idk what it is in English, but it's Kinto Un in Japanese) is actually exists in Wukong's story, so is the Nyoibou cane (the cane Goku brings when he was a kid). And Oolong is based on Cu Pat Kay/Zhu Bajie, Wukong's friend who accompanied him throughout the journey.
    He's also called:
    Sun Wu Kong = Chinese name
    Son Go Ku = Japanese name
    Son Oh Gong = Korean name
    Sun Go Kong = Indonesian name
    Tôn Ngộ Không = Vietnamese name
    And many more..

Compared with your books of journey to the west, I recommend you to watch the film and television version of journey to the West and the sequel of journey to the West, Because journey to the West was shot in 1986. If you think it's difficult for you to watch it, you can directly watch the sequel of journey to the west, because it's easier for you to understand. Go to a TV play instead of a movie

    Btw, at the start when the narrator was refering to "you", he's refering to the team of 4 from the original journey to the west (I say original because I'm not sure if the game will be a new iteration or not).
    You're here for a great cause, to pick up what's tried and failed, and make it whole - the monk Tang Sanzang, the great cause refering his journey to retrieve the Budhist scriptures.
    You want to be among the gods, and hear your name praised by generations to come - Sha Wujing, this one is kinda ambiguous, could be Wukong too
    You see this journey as a way out, an escape from what you deem unimporant - Sun Wukong, the reasoning here being that he really only wanted immortality and stay in his mountain.
    And you. The simple one. All you want is shelter and dinner - Zhu Bajie (the pig), should be pretty self explanatory.

    yeah, the orginal Dragon Ball was heavily inspired by Journey to the West. How Son Goku acted, his power pole, the flying nimbus, how he trained, is all from the OG Monkey King.

      I would argue that the most important things to wukong were his home and his family. Once he discovered mortality he thought "Who are these gods to decide that my friends should die?" Then he erased his monkey friends names from the book of life and death making them immortal. He went on to destroy most of the heavens and would have completely destroyed them had the Buddha not stepped in.

    Glad you're enjoying it, I'm looking forward to the game as well. Here's a bit of context on the background, hope it will help:
    Journey to the West was a fantasy story about Sun Wukong accompanying his master (Xuanzang, a monk who is also a reincarnation of Buddha's disciple) to the west to retrieve some Buddhist scriptures. Son Goku is the Japanese pronunciation of Sun Wukong's name, and a lot of his abilities and gadgets were based on Wukong (the pole and nimbus). Oolong is inspired by Xuanzang's second disciple, who is a pig demon. Accompanying them on the journey, there is also Xuanzang's third disciple, and Xuanzang's steed (a dragon transformed into a horse). Each of them (except Xuanzang) are being punished for something in their past life, and the quest is a means of redemption. Along the way, they encounter many trials and demons who want to eat Xuanzang's flesh for the power and life that it would grant them.
    I think the voice-over at the beginning was to call out that, while they're on this noble quest, the disciples are actually selfish and only in it for themselves. That was and probably will be the main character development that we will see in this game.

    As for the story, the original Dragon Ball plot structure is fairly similar to Journey to the West with an overarching arc of finding the Dragon Balls/Searching for Buddhist's Sutras. While both stories are "monster of the week" affairs with each major monster/boss covering few episodes/chapters.

    As a Chinese, I can tell you that the narration of this film is really difficult to translate 100%, which contains too much wit. But I can solve the confusion for everyone one is the boss at the end who is, he is so called 'Yellow Eyebrow Monster" in "Journey to the West". Simply put, this boss as one of Buddhas' disciple pretending to be the Buddha. From the original, Wukong and his party will experience 81 calamities, and this is from the fifty-ninth calamity. Those monsters who gossiping around are also pretending to be buddhas.
    I hope everyone know that this whole idea of Black Wukong is base on the original but not all from the original. Wukong in this game is also not the real Wukong but the 'six-eared macaque', who also appeared in the original as one of the 81 calamites. One interesting speculation is that the real Wukong was killed by Rulai, who is the most powerful buddha, during one of the calamities, and after that the Six-Eared Macaque took his place and headed to the west.
    Almost every Chinese know 'Journey to the West'. Witnessing a new dark style version of the story being made into a game is a extremely fascinating and exciting thing.

    Just for a reference for this Chinese myth, wu Kong is one of the main protagonist for a Chinese story called "journey to the west". So much so that they even make his story solo in many ways from shows and into game.
    Wu kong is a mystic being that was born from a rock on top of 花果山 ( mountains of flowers and fruits) due to the positive and negative powers of the land. He is blessed with superhuman strength and was also taught 72 transformations and ways to immortality by a Taoist martial artist named puti zhushi, which wu Kong promised not to share his name for where he learn his skills.
    After all this the monkey king then established himself as a powerful and influential demon. He then when to east sea dragon king palace to get a weapon from the king. All weapons failed his test except 如意金箍棒/定海神针 (monkey king staff/golden rod/stabilizer of the four seas). He took the staff and thus causes the seas to have natural disasters as the staff serves as a needle to stabilize the seas. He also was presented with a chainmail with striking Phoenix feathers on the top of the headgear. Thereafter he alliance with alot of other demons due to his influence.
    Bcos of all this acts he was sentenced to death by hell, but bcos of his powers he caused an uproar in hell, worse still he manipulate the lifespans of all the monkeys he knew. All this acts r reported to a heavenly emperor named "jade emperor" that governs all life, the jade emperor then proceeds to call upon. His heavenly armies to wipe sun wukong and all of his monkeys out of existence but failed.
    After he wrecked havoc in the heavens, the jade emperor invited him to the heavens and give him a promotion with a rank amongst the god. He was given the title : protector of the horses. However he later learned that it was a fancy name for the lowest rank in the heavens as a stable boy he got furious and set all the horses free and went back to his land proclaiming himself as 齐天大圣 (The great sage,heaven's equal). I will skipped this small part as he was tricked once more into being a peach picking boy in the heavens.
    So he get himself drunk and stole all immortality pill and immortality peaches and ate them. When baq to his mountain cave and prepare rebellion.
    Sun wukong single handedly defeated 100000 celestial soldiers, nezha, four heavenly kings and proved his equal to a deity named 二郎神/杨坚 (who did almost the same thing as sun wukong due to family love).
    Eventually the Taoist and Buddhists join forces and got the bodhisattva of mercy to help and was able to capture sun wukong, who was locked in a 8 way trigrams crucible for 49 days of burning in hopes to melt wu Kong into essence and make into heavenly pills.
    However the fire not only didn't kill wu Kong but also made him stronger with stronger body frame and gains a vision ability called 火眼金睛(golden gaze) which let's him see through any evil.
    So in the end no other choice but the Jade emperor proceeds to seek help from Buddha and thus was able to lock wu Kong under a mountain sealed with Buddha power to keep him sealed. There after comes the journey to the west story after 500 years of his sealing.

    "He was just a monkey chillin'"
    Hah, say that to his face. He literally shoots a lazer right after bowing in each cardinal direction into heaven and it disrupts the Jade Emporer, ontop of that, he literally fights the gods because they made him a stable guy and because he stole the peaches of immortality, disrupts a heavenly party, forces people to call him the The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, challenges EVERY GOD IN HEAVEN, and pisses on Buddha's hand... About the pole. It's name is the "Ruyi Jingu Bang," which he can shrink down to the size of a needle and keep in his ear, as well as expand it to gigantic proportions. The rod, which weighs 17,550 pounds, was originally a pillar supporting the undersea palace of the Dragon King of the East Sea, but he was able to pull it out of its support and can swing it with ease.
    Sun Wukong (If we can call this one that) runs into many "demons" who just happen to be godly beings who've been corrupted.
    I can understand why Feng named this game Black Myth (Game Producer of Black Myth) and he said that its because "hoped to give the Monkey King's name back to him. He said the tale is from China, but everyone refers to him as Goku, so he wants to let the world know his true name is Wukong."
    "Why is he gettin' all this smoke from all these demons though."
    WHOOOOO Boy do you got a lot of reading to do. So, the main premise of Journey to the West is so that Five People YES. THE HORSE IS THE FIFTH MEMBER to return some scrolls to India. It is funny that you say this because Wukong mostly gets into fights with those "demons" because they tend to capture Tang Sanzang and devour him so that they can berid of their sins to return back to normal. Reason why I put demons in quotations is because they're not really demons. They're mostly just godly beings who've been corrupted by acting sinful or sinning. I can't say for sure that's what this game is going to provide but it's definitely one of the main elements as to how these demons come about.
    The guy at the end is in fact, very important. He's the Future Buddha, or in better words. His title is Maitreya. You know those fat buddhas that people keep talking about and thinking that he's the only buddha? Yeah, that one. He's technically a bodhisattva but also a buddha? Difference being that a bodhisattva is someone who is able to reach enlightenment but decides to stay back to guide those who suffer and a Buddha is a title for someone who is awakened, and has attained nirvana and Buddhahood through their own efforts and insight, without a teacher to point out the dharma.

    Sun Wukong legit stole his alcohol from the gods and fought every high-class deity by himself until he was sealed away from a Buddhist, there are still a lot of deities wanting smoke with him. Each of those boss fights seems to be each of the gods, spirits, and demons he fought in the journey to the west, there is a series of youtube videos that cover it if you want to know more.

    The thing about wukong is that he's basically a god wu long is also capable of standing on his pole to gain distance wukong has the ability to just blow a few hairs and he can clone himself he can also widen his pole to be big enough to flatten the Empire State Building another thing is that most of the time wukong can pretty much do alot it's even said he is EXTREMELY strong

    Tell me if you heard this before...a story called "Journey to the West" where the Monkey King named Sun Wukong has a power staff called Ruyi Bang that can extend and he rides on a magic cloud called Nimbus. He has a companion cursed pig-man Zhu Bajie who can change forms. Oh... and Sun Wukong name in Japanese is Son Goku.

    • @gooddreams8495
      @gooddreams8495 3 года назад

      Yep. Ruyi Jingu Bang, usually when people, including him speak about they called it Jingu Bang. Technically is a cloud somersault, where he can travel fast distance in a single leap.
      Zhu Bajie is not really cursed...not in the usual sense. He is reincarnated into a pig so he has a pig body.

    On the other hand,拜 pronounces as same as BUY. maybe it has another meaning of 'why don't you buy!'

    The scale, scope, depth of this game is crazy, every statue is there for a meaning, representing different god and Buddha. Even every word has deep meaning. Not just express the core idea of the game, the story, but also mocking at the developers themselves. Most of the developers used to make another game about wukong called “dou zhan shen”(god of fighting) which is wukong. that has a great story line but the game is so screwed due to many reasons. So they gather up again for this black myth. At the beginning the subtitle says: some of you trying to make great achievements, some of you trying to be among the gods, some of you try to be free, some of you just wanna feed yourself with simple food. But I’ve seen trough all your disguise. The same lust and desire.” The developers of the game is also facing lots of problems, distrust. Some of them trying to make great game and say it’s their childhood dream and it’s all about passion. Some of them try to make this game great so they be among the “god” of the gaming industry, some looking for freeedom that one day they can do anything they like and enjoy, some just wanna take care of their family. But behind all these “disguises”, the same thing(mentioned by the dick head bird that everyone wants it so bad) is about money and fame. In the game that thing could be a real tool or weapon. We all have dreams, but as we grown up old ass, we have to face the reality. Yes at the end it’s all about “that thing” every one is looking for and want it so bad, it’s money and fame, there’s not right or wrong about this. The core of the world is like a cycle, destiny. And wukong wanna break all these shits so he has to stand alone against the entire world. those with powers got corrupted, people were fooled, and some one stood out rebuilt everything. Years later they got corrupted again. I think these are the core ideas that the game is trying to discuss and deliver.
    Every building is 1:1 restore from real life landmarks(ancient buildings)in China. And I feel like the story ain’t gonna be about wukong along, all the good guys bad guys will have their own background story and agian there’s no right or wrong, they probably just do their job and that’s it.
    At the ending, the leader of the little men is the Buddha of future. Here’s what he said: since the future(Buddha of future) is right in front of you, why don’t u bow down(to me, to the future, to your fate)
    The fire circle wukong drew on the ground used to protect his master monk and his junior fellows according to the tale. Demons can’t enter that circle.
    At the end the hat looking giant thing is a Buddhism weapon which according to the ancient tale, trapped wukong inside.
    Main theme is from 1986 drama journey to the west.
    Lyrics at the end: so where is the way? The way is right under your feet. (Repeat)
    Ending caption: after overcoming all the barricades and difficulties, I’m on my way once again.
    Like the developers, like wukong. The core is never give up even if your enemy is the entire world, even if this fight will never come to an end
