The colors in all of these original versions are absolutely stunning! But I'm kind of glad it was toned down slightly for the final release to better fit the overall story and atmosphere of the game.
The difference is pretty crazy, i agree that it was good to tone down but man they are even better and more beautiful here. Very happy they released them for us to watch.
Absolutely adored how vibrant the colours were here, but I think it was that less saturated atmosphere in the game that just sold the bittersweet theme a bit better imo. Can't even count how many times I've cried to this damn animation-
One day in the sky, one year on earth. When she knew that Bajie had been demoted, and when she was chasing down to find Bajie, the two might have missed several reincarnations.
Male: Moonlight shines on the bridge of our first meeting Female: Moonlight fades on the tower of our farewell Male: Longing lingers between my brows Female: Year after year, we gaze alike, hoping for an endless bond Male: Raging like a river’s wild flow Female: Restless as a drifting boat Female: With you by my side Both: This journey feels so, so free Female: Clouds gather Male: Clouds scatter Female: Breezes soft Male: Rains rush Both: From spring’s birth to autumn’s one. Male: In that moment, I fell in love with all of you Male: Forgetting is a fresh new scar Female: Remembering, the tired old tale Male: Kindred souls, embraced in silence Female: Wishing the night would stretch to dawn, but still, words could never be enough Male: Noisy as the river’s roar Female: Serene as a lone boat’s glide Male: With you beside me Both: This journey feels so free of care Female: Evening frost Male: Morning dew Female: Night-blooming flowers Male: Clouds passing by Both: Darkness is but a shade of light Female: Mishearing the wind, how could we have ever thought of tomorrow? Male: Fleeting like a drifting boat Female: Lonely as the river’s endless flow Both: If you hold on (Male)/ If you let go (Female) Both: When will this journey find salvation? Female: Joyful Male: Or sorrowful Both: Blooming or everlasting Both: Destiny without fate Both: In the next life, let us not look back Female: True love Male: Hard to keep Female: False love Male: Still not enough Female: Together Male: This life, we still have hopes Female: In the next, should we meet again Both: Please don’t turn back (Male)/ Please do turn back (Female)
There is a whole story behind the simple female lyrics of ""Night-blooming flowers" at 2:35. It is about "昙花一现，只为韦陀" (Tánhuā yīxiàn, zhǐ wèi Wéituó) (Đàm hoa nhất hiện, chỉ vị Vi Đà). In short, a flower waiting a few thousand years just to bloom for Weituo, a guardian/Buddhist dude, to express her love eventhough Weituo do not/cannot return the love because of his devotion. The writer of the lyrics must have gone really really deep into the Buddhist stuff to come up with a simple, yet beautiful line.
Wukong is not a man of hero, but a state of mind, a kind of spirit, and it belongs to those who hold a positive, valiant heart to sufferings in life❤ Thanks a lot! Game Science, it’s really a fucking good first AAA game in Chinese Game History!🎉
Bro was talented, studied mythic art, and wanted to do good for the mortal world, challenged those high above, got defeated and suppressed, went on a journey of redemption and a hell of beating, and finaly became the Victorias Buddha, then figured it is all a lie and a trick to seduce and control those who may pose threat, made a final play to sacrifice his physical form so that those after him may carry his free will and live without restraints and hierachy set by the gods above. Yes, he is not a hero, but a resilient spirit that would never yield to any challenges and obstacles.

Honestly I couldn't help but shed tears when I watched this for the first time, a romantic tragedy for Bajie and violet spider. In the novel journey to the west, Sun wukong killed all 7 spiders before continued their quest. But here the game modified the story that back then Sun wukong let Bajie to finish them. However Bajie couldn't make his mind to kill the one spider that was once a fairy in celestial realm who loved him. Violet spider was let go alive and after that the story of Black myth unfolds. Nice adaptation Game science!🎉
I think most people are either missed or confused about the part where she slowly transformed into the Spider Demon while Bajie slowly reverting back to his formed self, it’s because of regrets. Bajie was transformed into the pig cuz he was punished for accidentally discovered the affair between Jade Emperor and Moon Goddess, it was involuntary and his life keeps spirals downward beyond that While the the moon fairy felt in love with him, then once she heard the new of his punishment she asked around to know what form did he take in the mortal world and misheard “pig” for “spider” (they sound similar in chinese) hence why the spider form. At the end of the song u can hear the female and the male vocals sing different lyrics Male: Please don’t turn back Female: Please do turn back Because Bajie regretted his choice and what happened to them while Violet spider didn’t regret her choice, she chose exile to be with him. That’s why in the animation u see her slowly transforming (she had no regret) while Bajie slowly reverting back (he regrets his choice).
i keep watching this everyday frame by frame, for me this is masterwork of storytelling combined by Art and Music, i want every person making this to know that ur work is appreciated by me like a man who have marriage to his wife for several year despite of that he still find his wife beautiful as they met at first time.
Those western media say this game lacks diversity, but true diversity is when two souls are in love, regardless of whether they are a spider or a pig. Please open your horizons. Diversity is not just about human beings.
@@bondlu4257 fr, it's kinda ironic how they always screaming on top of their lungs wanted "diversity" and at the same time being racist or hateful over people who disagree with their ideology 😂😂😂
the West are just superficial! pretentious! they bomb muslims all over the world but are concerned about Chinese muslims etc! They dont care about diversity at all its complete woke BS the journos dont even know what theyre fighting for! Western devs now are saying no DEI woke BS! because going woke they went broke!
This cinematic has become my new favorite thing. It made what I had to get through to get here so worth it. Duskveil had me nearly quitting the game but I didn’t give up and got the needle that I needed to help beat the chapter 4 boss. This game is so difficult but so rewarding. Game of the year, I’m calling it now
The animation is so emotional and touching. I've saw a lot streamers, they laughed at the beginning, and as the story developed, the smiles slowly disappeared, and somehow turned into tears in the end. Even didn't fully understand who those are in the story. Just being hit to the heart so hard.
As someone who has never read JTTW until after beating this game I was still able to understand the visual storytelling of this and it did bring me to tears. Such an unforgettable experiance.
It's really sad that these two monstrous yaoguais were once heavenly beings who fell in love with one another, but suffers a tragedy that keeps them apart, possibly for eternity.
For those looking for some clarification for the cutscene： Pigsy (Bajie), in his pursuit of Moon Goddess, accidentally bumped into Zi'er (the elder spider lady). Zi'er fell deeply in love with Pigsy at first sight. Later, Pigsy was banished to the mortal realm after exposing the illicit affair between Moon Goddess and the silver haired man who has a high position in the celestial court. Zi'er willingly gave up her immortality to follow Pigsy. Through nine reincarnations, Pigsy wandered, and Zi'er waited. Pigsy transformed from a demon to a Buddha, while Zi’er descended from a deity to a demon. Their destinies, once intertwined, drifted further apart. After completing the fifth chapter, we discover that Pigsy didn't deny their past but feared acknowledging it. Due to the Heavenly Court's persecution, Pigsy worried that being with him would endanger Zi'er, so he resolutely chose to embark on the Journey to the West. Pigsy, mistakenly reincarnated as a pig, frightened another young lady at the beginning of the story. Yet, despite his pig-like appearance, Zi'er instantly recognized Pigsy's original handsome features in the hot spring. As their hands clasped, Pigsy's initial reaction was self-loathing. He transformed back into a pig, saying, "I'm no longer the mighty Marshal of the Heavenly River; I'm just a lowly pig demon." Zi'er, upon hearing this, instantly transformed into a spider, saying, "I don't care! I'm no longer a graceful celestial maiden, but just an ugly spider." True love is accepting the other unconditionally, even at their most destitute. After confessing their deepest insecurities, they embraced each other without hesitation. In the final lines of the song, the man sings, "I hope you won't look back" (hoping she hadn't fallen for him initially and could remain a happy celestial maiden), while the woman sings, "Please do look back" (no matter what, I will wait for you).
This might be my favorite one ❤️ the tragic story from both of them and Animation , music Etc. , I’ve never witnessed anything beautiful like that ever 🔥 Comming from a die hard God of War fan , this deserves GOTY imo 🤎 didn’t think I needed this in my life so thank you 🫶🏽
“Some say he helped Tang Monk fetch the Scriptures, was granted Buddahahood and stayed on Mount Lingshan thereafter. Some say it was not him who was granted Buddhahood. The real him was already dead on the journey to the west. Some say that the journey never happened. He is nothing but a monkey who lives in some storyteller’s tall tale. But now, you will hear a tale which no one has ever known.”
If I remember correctly, he intended to never return because he was cursed with a thousand years of heartbreak. He did it so heaven would not attack his lover, which was supposedly inevitable if they stayed together. After all, since WuKong was defeated by heaven, BaJie was too scared to trifle with them.
This segment of the ending cutscene from Black Myth: Wukong presents a tragic and complex love story involving Tian Peng (later known as Zhu Bajie) and the celestial figures in his past. Unlike traditional depictions, in this retelling, Tian Peng admires the Taiyin Star Lord (not the moon goddess Chang’e). Along his journey, he encounters a celestial maiden, one of the Taiyin Star Lord’s attendants, who holds the title "Chang’e" (since all of her attendants bear this title as an official rank, rather than as an individual name). It is this Chang’e who falls in love with Tian Peng. Tian Peng's fate takes a sharp turn when he inadvertently stumbles upon a secret meeting between the Jade Emperor and the Taiyin Star Lord. Fearing that his reputation might be tarnished by this discovery, the Jade Emperor punishes Tian Peng by banishing him to the mortal world, where he is transformed into a pig demon. The Chang’e attendant, unable to forget Tian Peng, sacrifices her immortality and descends to the mortal world, taking the form of a spider demon. She chooses this fate in order to be near him, knowing that it will lead to her eventual death. When Zhu Bajie, now in his pig demon form, arrives at Gao Village, he mistakes a mortal woman named Gao Cuilan for his lost love, the Chang’e he remembers. Driven by his love and longing, he pursues her, but Gao Cuilan, terrified by Bajie's true form, rejects him. This mistaken identity deepens the tragedy of Bajie's emotional confusion. As Zhu Bajie continues his journey westward, he eventually reaches the Pansi Cave, where he encounters the reincarnated Chang’e, now in the form of the Spider Demon. She immediately recognizes Bajie despite his pig-headed form. The two fall in love once again, and she gives birth to his daughter. However, due to her absorbing one of Bajie’s six roots (spiritual senses), her fate is sealed, and she knows that her death is inevitable. She chooses to stay with him until the end, waiting in the cave, hoping to show him their daughter. Before her death, the Spider Demon poignantly remarks, “You’re still as foolish as before.” This statement refers not only to Bajie’s earlier mistake in confusing Gao Cuilan with her, but also to his reluctance to acknowledge their daughter and their love out of fear of retribution from the Heavenly Court. The Spider Demon understands that Bajie’s denial is his way of protecting them from the inevitable consequences of divine punishment. Though Bajie is harsh towards her in their final moments, both he and the Spider Demon understand the emotional undercurrents beneath their words. Bajie knows that acknowledging his love for her would bring ruin upon them, and his cold words are an attempt to sever ties for their safety. Nevertheless, the Spider Demon knows that Bajie still cares for her and their daughter, and she accepts her fate. In her final moments, the Spider Demon dies with the knowledge that she has seen Bajie one last time. The entire exchange is a bittersweet reflection of their doomed love. Both Zhu Bajie and the Spider Demon are ancient beings who understand each other's hearts without needing to say much. Their final conversation, despite its apparent harshness, reveals the depth of their love and the helplessness of their situation. The tragic reality is that they are both bound by the rules of the celestial and mortal realms, and their love, though powerful, is not enough to overcome these constraints. The closing lines of their exchange also carry symbolic weight. The Spider Demon, in a wordplay on “spider” and “pig,” says, “You know what Tian Peng reincarnated as? He became a pig. Then I shall become a spider.” This reflects their inevitable, cyclical fates, predetermined by the heavens. Despite their deep connection, fate has written them into roles where they are destined never to truly be together, like a pair where one spins webs while the other is caught in them. This imagery ties into the ancient ideal of “man plows, woman weaves,” a metaphor for the domestic, agricultural harmony that is unattainable for them in their tragic love story.
It’s so interesting how the scene where Bajie saw the ladies bathing and the similarity it holds to another scene in a different Chinese mythology where Niulang, a mortal（牛郎）chanced upon zhinu, an immortal(织女 also the jade emporer’s daughter ) literally called weaver girl and fell in love at first sight with her, get it cause weaver girl and spider guai
Fun Fact：The Chinese title of Chapter 4 (曲度紫鸳) comes from a poem by Li Bai（Tang Dynasty, 700 AD）, one of China's greatest poets, which describes the feeling of missing a lover after parting.
In this animation, when Zhu Bajie reverts to his wild boar form, his tusks are intact. However, in the true ending animation, we know that Zhu Bajie's left tusk in his original form was broken by Sha Wujing. In the game, when we fight Zhu Bajie, his left tusk is also broken when he reverts to his original form. Therefore, this encounter with the Spider Demon can be inferred to have occurred before the events of Journey to the West.
@@rokudodamaza In the original story, Tang Sanzang and his disciples encounter seven spider ladys, who are sisters. The game’s story takes place many years after the events of the original story. In the game, the spider ladys have a mother-daughter relationship (which means that in the game's story, six of the seven spider sisters from were already killed by Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong in the journey to the west. The young spider ladys in the game never experienced those events, which is also why, in the wedding banquet cutscene, the young spiders don’t fully understand their mother’s feelings.）. In the original story, there were no daughters of the old spider spirit. The daughters were created and adapted by the game's development team.
@@CL-hk5tj But hasn't the violet spider been reincarnated several times and the game takes place during the reincarnation period of Sun Wukong so isn't it highly likely these are not the same daughters or original spider sisters that Bajie killed/shunned?
@@rokudodamaza Sorry, I think my first comment might have caused some misunderstanding. My first comment was evaluating the game's plot. Game Science has made significant adaptations to the original story. In the original work, there is no character named Zi Zhuer, and the seven spider ladies were indeed killed by Sun Wukong. In the original story, there is a scene where the seven spider ladies secretly bathe in a pool belonging to the celestial maidens of Heaven, and they are discovered by Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie. Sun Wukong, in order to control them, steals their clothes left on the shore, and Zhu Bajie, taking the opportunity, transforms into a catfish, swims into the pool, teases, and eventually scares away the spider ladies. (This scene seems very politically incorrect, but please understand that this is a book written 500 years ago.) The spider ladies then seek their senior brother, the Hundred-Eyed Daoist Master, to avenge them, but in the end, they are all killed by Sun Wukong. Perhaps Game Science took inspiration from this scene, adapted and beautified it to create the love story between Zi Zhuer and Zhu Bajie in the game. The scene in the original work merely serves as an element to spark Game Science’s imagination. In the game’s storyline, we can infer from the dialogue between Zi Zhuer and Zhu Bajie that Sun Wukong didn’t kill all seven spider ladies but spared Zi Zhuer's life. Zi Zhuer was gravely injured and survived by consuming the corpses of her six sisters, which is why she says she hates the monkey the most in her life. I speculate that, in the game’s story, apart from the youngest daughter being confirmed as the child of Zi Zhuer and Zhu Bajie, the other daughters are most likely adopted by Zi Zhuer in the later years.
@@rokudodamaza Just a small part ，7spiders,They are sisters, all of them be killed by wukong。IN the game，one of them survived because she is bajie'lover。Her daughters are not exist in the journey 。
Here's a story summary >Bajie is a drunken lecher >Chases after Chang'E cause she's hot >Bumps into spider maid >Witnesses Chang'E having an affair on her husband with another high ranking deity >To silence Bajie, they framed him under false charges and threw him to Earth >He sees hot maid (not spider lady) and chases after >Curse strikes, something to do with acting like a pig and then becoming a literal one so no chicks will dig him >Maid screams at pig man and runs >He sees he's been cursed and laments at how hideous he is >Next scene he sees spider maid and approaches her >Spider maid recognizes him and still loves him >She makes moves on him and he goes "look at me, I am a pig monster" to scare her off >>She goes "I'm a spider lady, I could care less about beastiality" >They then play the doctor game where you both take your clothes off and have a really thorough examination >Spider lady has a flash forward of her fate >> Happy life with him, then she gets thrown down to hell in earth, her life is in shambles, pig man leaves her and she falls apart, bitter lady >Pig man story plays in reverse from this point >The final scene is when she gets casts down to earth and he sees the boys inviting him to go on a journey to the West >>He loves her but he now understands that his curse has a secondary effect, all who end up loving him shall be punished too >>>In order to not inflict more harm on his love, he decides to distance himself and try to atone for his mistakes and earn forgiveness All the spider children are his kids, the reason his attitude is so shit is because if he shows even an ounce of affection l, they will be punished. By accruing bad karma, he is the only one to be punished, thus sparing his kids and love of any further pain. You can see this to be true when he is especially harsh with his youngest daughter, spider lady knows this which is why she is eternally nice to him.
Question on Listen not by Fairy He. Does The Orchard Music own the rights to this song? I got copyright claimed when streaming this game by them saying they hold the rights to this song and rejected my fair use dispute. Can you aid me in this? Is this true or fraud? Thanks.
This is what ive been saying!!! Gamescience mustve worked with at least 5 different animation studios!!! for the different cutscenes! Just those 5 studios alone = AAA polish and resources! more variety diversity!! And the Western journos saying this is an average, mediocre game with nothing to do between fighting bosses!!!??? and no women!!???

@@3empyrean735 It's more saturated and darker in this version. That's what the OP meant by toning it down in the game.

In short, a flower waiting a few thousand years just to bloom for Weituo, a guardian/Buddhist dude, to express her love eventhough Weituo do not/cannot return the love because of his devotion.

My favorite side story from the game, Bajie is wonderfully portrayed here. I feel like this is one of my favorite version of Bajie.
I think most people are either missed or confused about the part where she slowly transformed into the Spider Demon while Bajie slowly reverting back to his formed self, it’s because of regrets.
Bajie was transformed into the pig cuz he was punished for accidentally discovered the affair between Jade Emperor and Moon Goddess, it was involuntary and his life keeps spirals downward beyond that
While the the moon fairy felt in love with him, then once she heard the new of his punishment she asked around to know what form did he take in the mortal world and misheard “pig” for “spider” (they sound similar in chinese) hence why the spider form.
At the end of the song u can hear the female and the male vocals sing different lyrics
Male: Please don’t turn back
Female: Please do turn back
Because Bajie regretted his choice and what happened to them while Violet spider didn’t regret her choice, she chose exile to be with him.
That’s why in the animation u see her slowly transforming (she had no regret) while Bajie slowly reverting back (he regrets his choice).
Thank you for this explanation, you just made it 10x better for me 👍🏼

Later, Pigsy was banished to the mortal realm after exposing the illicit affair between Moon Goddess and the silver haired man who has a high position in the celestial court. Zi'er willingly gave up her immortality to follow Pigsy. Through nine reincarnations, Pigsy wandered, and Zi'er waited.

Yet, despite his pig-like appearance, Zi'er instantly recognized Pigsy's original handsome features in the hot spring. As their hands clasped, Pigsy's initial reaction was self-loathing. He transformed back into a pig, saying, "I'm no longer the mighty Marshal of the Heavenly River; I'm just a lowly pig demon." Zi'er, upon hearing this, instantly transformed into a spider, saying, "I don't care! I'm no longer a graceful celestial maiden, but just an ugly spider." True love is accepting the other unconditionally, even at their most destitute. After confessing their deepest insecurities, they embraced each other without hesitation. In the final lines of the song, the man sings, "I hope you won't look back" (hoping she hadn't fallen for him initially and could remain a happy celestial maiden), while the woman sings, "Please do look back" (no matter what, I will wait for you).
Thanks man
F*ck I Cryyyyyy again 🐷🕷😭
3:37 seeing the gang stick by Bajie's side after everything that happened to him leaves a big smile on my face after this touching story.
3:08 这一段，走马灯一样把蜘蛛精和八戒的几世轮回都快速闪现了一遍，感觉自己也跟着他们一起生生世世了好几回，巨大的留白，真动人😢
so beautiful! thank you for this elaborated work
absolutely my favourite music of this game
This might be my favorite one ❤️ the tragic story from both of them and Animation , music Etc. , I’ve never witnessed anything beautiful like that ever 🔥 Comming from a die hard God of War fan , this deserves GOTY imo 🤎 didn’t think I needed this in my life so thank you 🫶🏽
Bro is out looking for love while his truest love was standing admiringly infront of him all along 😢
“Some say he helped Tang Monk fetch the Scriptures, was granted Buddahahood and stayed on Mount Lingshan thereafter. Some say it was not him who was granted Buddhahood. The real him was already dead on the journey to the west. Some say that the journey never happened. He is nothing but a monkey who lives in some storyteller’s tall tale. But now, you will hear a tale which no one has ever known.”
u suppose to quote this on chapter 6 music video not this wtf. this is about the pig and spider lady love story
Absolute Cinema
When Bajie chooses to go with sun wukong, as if to say I promise I’ll be back I’m sorry my love. 😭
If I remember correctly, he intended to never return because he was cursed with a thousand years of heartbreak. He did it so heaven would not attack his lover, which was supposedly inevitable if they stayed together. After all, since WuKong was defeated by heaven, BaJie was too scared to trifle with them.
He keeps his distance to not incur the wrath of heaven and also to seek his own redemption…
This segment of the ending cutscene from Black Myth: Wukong presents a tragic and complex love story involving Tian Peng (later known as Zhu Bajie) and the celestial figures in his past. Unlike traditional depictions, in this retelling, Tian Peng admires the Taiyin Star Lord (not the moon goddess Chang’e). Along his journey, he encounters a celestial maiden, one of the Taiyin Star Lord’s attendants, who holds the title "Chang’e" (since all of her attendants bear this title as an official rank, rather than as an individual name). It is this Chang’e who falls in love with Tian Peng.
Tian Peng's fate takes a sharp turn when he inadvertently stumbles upon a secret meeting between the Jade Emperor and the Taiyin Star Lord. Fearing that his reputation might be tarnished by this discovery, the Jade Emperor punishes Tian Peng by banishing him to the mortal world, where he is transformed into a pig demon.
The Chang’e attendant, unable to forget Tian Peng, sacrifices her immortality and descends to the mortal world, taking the form of a spider demon. She chooses this fate in order to be near him, knowing that it will lead to her eventual death.
When Zhu Bajie, now in his pig demon form, arrives at Gao Village, he mistakes a mortal woman named Gao Cuilan for his lost love, the Chang’e he remembers. Driven by his love and longing, he pursues her, but Gao Cuilan, terrified by Bajie's true form, rejects him. This mistaken identity deepens the tragedy of Bajie's emotional confusion.
As Zhu Bajie continues his journey westward, he eventually reaches the Pansi Cave, where he encounters the reincarnated Chang’e, now in the form of the Spider Demon. She immediately recognizes Bajie despite his pig-headed form. The two fall in love once again, and she gives birth to his daughter. However, due to her absorbing one of Bajie’s six roots (spiritual senses), her fate is sealed, and she knows that her death is inevitable. She chooses to stay with him until the end, waiting in the cave, hoping to show him their daughter.
Before her death, the Spider Demon poignantly remarks, “You’re still as foolish as before.” This statement refers not only to Bajie’s earlier mistake in confusing Gao Cuilan with her, but also to his reluctance to acknowledge their daughter and their love out of fear of retribution from the Heavenly Court. The Spider Demon understands that Bajie’s denial is his way of protecting them from the inevitable consequences of divine punishment.
Though Bajie is harsh towards her in their final moments, both he and the Spider Demon understand the emotional undercurrents beneath their words. Bajie knows that acknowledging his love for her would bring ruin upon them, and his cold words are an attempt to sever ties for their safety. Nevertheless, the Spider Demon knows that Bajie still cares for her and their daughter, and she accepts her fate. In her final moments, the Spider Demon dies with the knowledge that she has seen Bajie one last time.
The entire exchange is a bittersweet reflection of their doomed love. Both Zhu Bajie and the Spider Demon are ancient beings who understand each other's hearts without needing to say much. Their final conversation, despite its apparent harshness, reveals the depth of their love and the helplessness of their situation. The tragic reality is that they are both bound by the rules of the celestial and mortal realms, and their love, though powerful, is not enough to overcome these constraints.
The closing lines of their exchange also carry symbolic weight. The Spider Demon, in a wordplay on “spider” and “pig,” says, “You know what Tian Peng reincarnated as? He became a pig. Then I shall become a spider.” This reflects their inevitable, cyclical fates, predetermined by the heavens. Despite their deep connection, fate has written them into roles where they are destined never to truly be together, like a pair where one spins webs while the other is caught in them. This imagery ties into the ancient ideal of “man plows, woman weaves,” a metaphor for the domestic, agricultural harmony that is unattainable for them in their tragic love story.
Beautiful explanation. Thank you!
It’s so interesting how the scene where Bajie saw the ladies bathing and the similarity it holds to another scene in a different Chinese mythology where Niulang, a mortal（牛郎）chanced upon zhinu, an immortal(织女 also the jade emporer’s daughter ) literally called weaver girl and fell in love at first sight with her, get it cause weaver girl and spider guai
BAJIE I’M SORRY I WASNT FAMILIAR WITH YOUR GAME
I CRIED..
Sucking game was a thief,it stole my heart with every short stories.
Much more better than Disney nowadays!!!!
Not even in same level nowadays
Fun Fact：The Chinese title of Chapter 4 (曲度紫鸳) comes from a poem by Li Bai（Tang Dynasty, 700 AD）, one of China's greatest poets, which describes the feeling of missing a lover after parting.
Rosy Cheeks Gray Hair?
@@tannerlion1994 Yes, "Rosy Cheeks Gray Hair" is the english title of Chapter 4
純粋な愛
Such a sad story of Zhu Bajie (Pigsy) and Zi Zhuer (Spider)
Memang dari dulu begitulah cinta ❤,Deritanya tiada akhir 😢
I almost never cry, but wow
The lyrics is written by the damn CEO, i hate people with so much talent
what'd they do to you bro
Beautiful, simply beautiful.
I think the ending where Bajie runs off with the other pilgrims really hits me.
It earned my tears.
把天蓬元帥調戲嫦娥寫得如此有詩意，的確不錯。
Zhubaji reflect mirror. Inside out, not human
most beautiful art I've ever seen. Thank you!
In this animation, when Zhu Bajie reverts to his wild boar form, his tusks are intact. However, in the true ending animation, we know that Zhu Bajie's left tusk in his original form was broken by Sha Wujing. In the game, when we fight Zhu Bajie, his left tusk is also broken when he reverts to his original form. Therefore, this encounter with the Spider Demon can be inferred to have occurred before the events of Journey to the West.
How much was the spider lady a part of the original story? And her daughters
@@rokudodamaza In the original story, Tang Sanzang and his disciples encounter seven spider ladys, who are sisters. The game’s story takes place many years after the events of the original story. In the game, the spider ladys have a mother-daughter relationship (which means that in the game's story, six of the seven spider sisters from were already killed by Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong in the journey to the west. The young spider ladys in the game never experienced those events, which is also why, in the wedding banquet cutscene, the young spiders don’t fully understand their mother’s feelings.）. In the original story, there were no daughters of the old spider spirit. The daughters were created and adapted by the game's development team.
@@CL-hk5tj But hasn't the violet spider been reincarnated several times and the game takes place during the reincarnation period of Sun Wukong so isn't it highly likely these are not the same daughters or original spider sisters that Bajie killed/shunned?
@@rokudodamaza Sorry, I think my first comment might have caused some misunderstanding. My first comment was evaluating the game's plot. Game Science has made significant adaptations to the original story. In the original work, there is no character named Zi Zhuer, and the seven spider ladies were indeed killed by Sun Wukong. In the original story, there is a scene where the seven spider ladies secretly bathe in a pool belonging to the celestial maidens of Heaven, and they are discovered by Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie. Sun Wukong, in order to control them, steals their clothes left on the shore, and Zhu Bajie, taking the opportunity, transforms into a catfish, swims into the pool, teases, and eventually scares away the spider ladies. (This scene seems very politically incorrect, but please understand that this is a book written 500 years ago.) The spider ladies then seek their senior brother, the Hundred-Eyed Daoist Master, to avenge them, but in the end, they are all killed by Sun Wukong.
Perhaps Game Science took inspiration from this scene, adapted and beautified it to create the love story between Zi Zhuer and Zhu Bajie in the game. The scene in the original work merely serves as an element to spark Game Science’s imagination. In the game’s storyline, we can infer from the dialogue between Zi Zhuer and Zhu Bajie that Sun Wukong didn’t kill all seven spider ladies but spared Zi Zhuer's life. Zi Zhuer was gravely injured and survived by consuming the corpses of her six sisters, which is why she says she hates the monkey the most in her life. I speculate that, in the game’s story, apart from the youngest daughter being confirmed as the child of Zi Zhuer and Zhu Bajie, the other daughters are most likely adopted by Zi Zhuer in the later years.
@@rokudodamaza Just a small part ，7spiders,They are sisters, all of them be killed by wukong。IN the game，one of them survived because she is bajie'lover。Her daughters are not exist in the journey 。
Here's a story summary
>Bajie is a drunken lecher
>Chases after Chang'E cause she's hot
>Bumps into spider maid
>Witnesses Chang'E having an affair on her husband with another high ranking deity
>To silence Bajie, they framed him under false charges and threw him to Earth
>He sees hot maid (not spider lady) and chases after
>Curse strikes, something to do with acting like a pig and then becoming a literal one so no chicks will dig him
>Maid screams at pig man and runs
>He sees he's been cursed and laments at how hideous he is
>Next scene he sees spider maid and approaches her
>Spider maid recognizes him and still loves him
>She makes moves on him and he goes "look at me, I am a pig monster" to scare her off
>>She goes "I'm a spider lady, I could care less about beastiality"
>They then play the doctor game where you both take your clothes off and have a really thorough examination
>Spider lady has a flash forward of her fate
>> Happy life with him, then she gets thrown down to hell in earth, her life is in shambles, pig man leaves her and she falls apart, bitter lady
>Pig man story plays in reverse from this point
>The final scene is when she gets casts down to earth and he sees the boys inviting him to go on a journey to the West
>>He loves her but he now understands that his curse has a secondary effect, all who end up loving him shall be punished too
>>>In order to not inflict more harm on his love, he decides to distance himself and try to atone for his mistakes and earn forgiveness
All the spider children are his kids, the reason his attitude is so shit is because if he shows even an ounce of affection l, they will be punished. By accruing bad karma, he is the only one to be punished, thus sparing his kids and love of any further pain. You can see this to be true when he is especially harsh with his youngest daughter, spider lady knows this which is why she is eternally nice to him.
Thanks
This kinda reminds me about Disney golden era in 90s
I haven’t play the game but this ost brought me tears several times
Pig + spider = sad stories ig
NB
This 5 minutes animation tells more story and leaves more impact than New Disney Mermaid movie.
Game science: u bunch all crying right?
This 5 minutes animation tells more story and leaves more impact than New Disney Mermaid movie. Even more diverse😂

This was my favorite of all the side stories
We love you Bajie ❤💯
可惜没把中英文歌词放在影片里，歌词很好诠释了故事内容。It’s a pity that the Chinese and English lyrics were not included in the film, as the lyrics explain the story very well.
沒有歌詞字幕真的蠻可惜的，我重看第四章動畫時是搭配歌詞看的，當初看到最後一句歌詞真的差點哭死，很好地詮釋雙方對這段感情的看法。
Because it will lose some meaning if it got translated.
I’m not crying😤…🥲
BEST. CHAPTER. END. CUTSCENE. EVER. in gaming history.
Im not crying you are crying. 😎
absolute PEAK cinema. 🙌 Shit made me shed a tear, got me BAWLING. snot on my sleeve

It would be better if there were subtitles for the song lyrics
BEST ONE!
Question on Listen not by Fairy He. Does The Orchard Music own the rights to this song? I got copyright claimed when streaming this game by them saying they hold the rights to this song and rejected my fair use dispute.
Can you aid me in this? Is this true or fraud? Thanks.
Need tissue 😭🥲🥹
So nice
This is what ive been saying!!! Gamescience mustve worked with at least 5 different animation studios!!! for the different cutscenes! Just those 5 studios alone = AAA polish and resources! more variety diversity!! And the Western journos saying this is an average, mediocre game with nothing to do between fighting bosses!!!??? and no women!!???
Hopefully the DLC or the next few games will have tons of women and waifus!!!! to shut the idiots up! in fact make a whole game full of waifus!!!!
Game is for gamer not for journalists.

不太可能有大团圆。中国的爱情悲剧中是无法活着达到大团圆结局的。所以才有在天愿作比翼鸟，在地愿为连理枝的说法。
@@一明明一
怎么没有完美结局的？？太多了《凤求凰》的大胆和《白头吟》后的忏悔。够不够经典？白头偕老的结局。在古代一夫一妻。司马相如之墓在今都江堰市聚源镇境内，至今未被盗。必然是合葬墓。算是完美无缺了吧。
