Doctor Strange: I saw 14,000,605 futures Sun Wukong: In how many did we make it to the west without Tripitaka getting kidnapped? Doctor Strange: *None*
I know they’re demons but like… the fact Red Boy excitedly invites his dad round for dinner when he’s caught something special and the Bull Demon King apparently cannot, _will not_ stop talking about his kid is kinda adorable.
Chinese culture and many other Asian cultures value familial bonds and social unity above all else, so even their demons and villains are portrayed caring immensely about their own family lol Disrespecting or harming one's parents/elders is considered incredibly poor form, even for "bad guys".
Gotta admit, it’s kinda sweet that all these demons keep inviting their parents over to share some immortality-granting-monk-meat with them. Love that family bonding.
The detail in this episode for Guan Yin is amazing. Notice the butt ton of hands that are come out of her. That represents her 1000 hands, given to her so she can help the people in need. Fun fact: She had lived a fulfilling life of sacrifice and great love, that she earned a place in Nirvana after death. However, even when she was at the gate, she heard a plea from earth and turned her back towards final peace to help the person instead. Earning her Immortality that way.
Gosh that fun fact is so cool :0 I just learned about Nirvana and how it’s the point peak of Buddhism, but the way she just sacrifices an immortal life of no suffering is just amazing- and to help some too
I was rewatching this and I just realised... Sun jumped in to protect Kuan Yin. The impulsive, selfish, monkey king instinctively tried to save the person that left him stuck under a mountain 500 years. He really has grown, hasnt he?
@@roychen5235 I think it was because of the written dialogue at 10:00 where monkey thanks Kuan Yin for "dropping a mountain on my head and feeding me molten copper for five hundred years." instead of things like the stunt she pulled with disquising "a metric fuckton of swords" as her lotus platform.
@@random123games6 And yet again 'molten copper' thing was Buddha's idea, as well. Nevertheless, he has separate list of 'episodes' to be 'thankful' for to her... I mean, whole gold/silver great daemon king accident alone is enough already!
Guan Yin’s two children: 1. Moksa - obedient quiet daughter, best disciple 2. Monkey - problematic child that she constantly has to take care of, secretly proud of him
I love how the Journey to the West videos have a subtle running gag of always having a frame where a wall's being broken, and the character not breaking down the wall spits out a mouthful of tea.
@@jacintacapelety9600 Given that this usually happens in dark rooms, I don't exactly see color as 100% indicator. Given that some of them are demons (I was just binge watching the series again, so I might have confused your comment, to mean all VII parts), I was personally thinking: maybe blood. And after the last episode, and after remembering House M.D. I also remembered that urine can have that color. Happy thoughts. So yeah!
@@Retro130 he wrote the conversation between sun and tripitaka had at the end of the video see the video again but read the words in it this time i didn't get it first time as well
Well I read that WuKong is immune to fire by chanting a fire proof spell, but because Red Boy suddenly blew smoke into his eyes, he couldn’t chant properly anymore and got burnt. Frankly, WuKong’s awesome looking red eyes that he got by being cooked in Laozi’s cauldron for 49 days that. Is also dubbed as the “Golden eyes fiery gaze” (火眼金睛) that can see through demonic disguises is actually over glorified dried eye.
Reminder for anyone who stumbles on this comment: This book was published in _1592._ There aren't a lot of works of fiction that old that keep me interested, because they often fall victim to uninteresting characters. It's like Renaissance-era paintings, but written. Odd bit of trivia: Shakespeare was active during this time as well. Maybe it really was a renaissance of writing.
Technically a lot of the stories in the book are wayyyyyyyyy older. A lot of the book was based on oral and written folktales and fictionalized versions of historical events that the author would have known about since he was a kid. Tripitaka's character is based on Xuanzang, a monk from the Tang Dynasty who defied a travel ban to make the journey to the west/India in real life. The basis for Sun Wukong/Monkey comes from a bunch of different stuff over time, and at earliest dates back to 700 bce.
There are two ways to watch Red’s videos. 1- you play the whole thing enjoying all the jokes, story arcs and impressions 2- you pause every 5 seconds to read all the hilarious written text that add another level of immersion and character development. I advise that everyone do both
Now that I've watched just about every video a few times, I've decided to go back through all of them using the second method and you are right, it just adds another level of humor/extra sarcasm/knowledge.
That is... SUCH a tabletop RPG moment! “I am not immune to Fire lv1 through 10. I am immune to Fire lv1 AND 10! 2 through 9 still hurt me!” “That’s dumb.” “I KNOW!!”
Tran Dai Phuc nope. It’s different types of mythical fire that isn’t really fire. The fire red kid uses is also why some people when walking alone at night, pat themselves on the shoulders and head to ward off evil: the average human, especially young men, has 3 lamps of that type of fire on their shoulders and head. The strength depends on health and yin yang balance etc. Ghosts need to turn off those three lamps in order to harm the person walking at night
@@dreadpiratedan4664 A RUclipsr named Just A Pancake has a running gag in their videos where a character replies to obvious manipulation and lies with the catch phrase "Okay, I believe you." I thought @bellringer might be a fan, but I guess I was mistaken.
5:18 I like to think every time Monkey breaks into the ocean, heaven, or wherever else, there's a perfectly functioning door, like, 2 meters to the left. At least one god has tried to remedy this once by not patching the hole and just building a new door over it, but next week Monkey just broke in a bit further down.
@Kathryn Rovito and @Jayavishnu she releases every part after one another and she will finish it it just takes a while for each part to come out. The reason why these take so long is because of the fact she has to read and animate for other things on the channel, so this only gets worked on for a small portion of her time. Not to mention she cuts out some of the story as it's very episodic (not saying those parts are bad, in fact they're quite the contrary) and then animate in the little time she has.
《西游记》是在明万历二十年，即公元1592年由金陵书商世法堂唐氏刊刻出版，也就是说是1592年成书，距今418 年。 "Journey to the west" is in the Ming dynasty Wanli 20. published by Jinling booksellers, that is a novel published in 1592, 418 years ago.
I like how Sandy was somehow scared that Monkey was dead. Like I know he's not fireproof in this case but he *is* like immortal x5 or something at this point.
@@hellfire286 Okay two questions, One how many years does a dying take off, and two dont the peaches and pills extend the lifespan of the individual by a ridiculous amount?
@@Emily12471 the lifetime is expanded by a ridiculous amount so he can live for an immeasurable amount of time but he also can’t die because of his training so a “death” is more of a major injury. In terms of fire immunity he can resist earthly and heavenly fire but the True Fire of Samedhi is neither so it can hurt him.
@@hellfire286 ah i see, i thought primarily because he is made of stone. Like why would anyone attempt too use any easily available fire against him? Do they? Idk haven't actually read the book
Okay, but can we talk about how monkey tries to protect Kuan Yin? Like, he's obviously fully aware that she can take care of herself, considering the epic move she just made, but monkey's instinct is just "protect" at this point and that makes me very happy
I hope Red covers her story. I find her origins interesting as it displays her as the most belong woman in China despite her father hating her for not being normal
@@SP-kt1dq yeah bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara ist Guanyin like the Chinese version/ name for him or some like that am pretty sure bodhisattvas can change there gender at will idk really know that much about it
I’m reading JTTW right now (thanks Red) and I’ve just finished this arc: I am DELIGHTED to tell you that the comment Pigsy makes about Red Boy suing them as well as the quip at 9:07 about Kuan Yin possibly looking up Wukong’s skirt are both ACTUALLY FROM THE BOOK. Quote: “Shame on him! This fellow’s indulging in roguery! He wants to bust his own nose, make himself bleed a little, and smear his face red so that he may go somewhere to file suit against us.” And Kowtowing, Pilgrim said “Your disciple dares not display his power before the Bodhisattva. If I use the cloud somersault, my clothes may flip up and reveal my body, and I fear that the Bodhisattva will take offense at my irreverence.” I love this book with all my heart
And Sun was being a dumb-ass (surprise) by not letting the servants fetch the Demon Bull King dude and then being like, "So, you kid won't believe i know you and also tried to kidnap this dude i'm now protecting, so tell won't ya tell him to just let us go on our merry way before i have to kick his ass from here to the heavens. K, thx, you're a bud."
@@JulesVonBasslake and then you realized that the bull demon king would likely to still trying to eat the monk because you know? DEMON AND STUFF? later the bull demon king pissed on their friendship anyway in the book
Remember kids, if you and a group of friends are out for a walk on the mountain and you happen to see any tied up red orphans or impossibly beautiful women who keeps dying and coming back, just keep on walk and stay on track!
Yeah it's a pretty popular trick used by bandits, they have one of them who look the least suspicious to pretend to be in need of help (like their carriage broke down) and lure unsuspecting travellers into their trap. Even better if the bait is a beautiful woman (working with the bandits) cause not only does she appear innocent but she could also lure those who aren't actually charitable but are attracted by her beauty. That's why you have many old stories (from different cultures) telling you to be suspicious of beautiful women in shady places (like in a forest or on a road far from town).
In fact, Sun Wukong is not afraid of fire, but of smoke. When Sun Wukong was placed into Laozi’s Alchemy Furnace, he hid in the position of "巽," which protected him from being burned. However, in the Bagua, “巽” represents wind, and the wind blew smoke into his eyes, injuring them and turning them into his "golden-gaze fiery eyes." These eyes allowed him to see through demons, but also made him vulnerable to smoke. In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong's eyes were twice harmed by smoke, during the battles with the Yellow Wind Demon and the Red Boy.
Turbo Charged just because he’s saying all this smart stuff that you can’t comprehend with your small idiotic brain doesn’t mean you fire back with that weak insult :|
We don't know what happened to Red Boy after this.Maybe he ended up becoming Kuan Yin's slave. Maybe he reconciled and started crashing in his dad's basement. Maybe he revealed he was a girl the whole time and spent millennia learning about other cultures' legends and folklore to one day tell the masses about them through videos. We just don't know.
He stays Kuan Yin's little page boy and you can see him cameoed in some Folk paintings beside Kuan Yin, along a dragon girl who also turned into Kuan Yin's servant after being saved by Red Boy from shenanigans, as legend goes.
Red Boy is based on Sudhana (Ch: Sancai), whose spiritual journey is told in the 'Gandavyuha Sutra' (c. 3rd-cent.). The youth sets out on a quest towards enlightenment and trains under 52 different teachers, including Maitreya, Avalokiteśvara (the South Asian variant of Guanyin), Manjusri, and Samantabhadra. This is why he becomes Guanyin's disciple in the novel. As stated by a previous person, this explains why some religious paintings include a small praying child standing next to the Bodhisattva.
I rewatch these episodes a bunch and realize just how much subtle character development goes on. like Piggsy actually helping, the one that really stands out is Sun wukongs rush to take a blow for Guan Yin think about it, he has no reason to do this. she's not tripitaka and its not his job to help her but he does so anyway because that's just what he does now!
But it doesn't have any fan service or any real big busty females or men that never ware shirts, giant tentacles fan service, girl on top of girl, suggestive charter or item design.
Ben Nelson that’s why most modern interpretations gender bend between one to four of the team to balance that problem out. I know it’s not a perfect solution but it’s the best we could come up with, with only one hand free.
Sun Wukong: IS THAT A DEMON!? Tripitaka: no this is an orphan Sun Wukong: I’m beating it to death Sun Wukong: WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS ORPHANS!?
"yes, give me the child" I just can't help but read that small piece of dialogue with a demon voice and it is just hilarious! Finally, we get to see part 4!
Red Boy: "MY FATHER NEVER SHUTS UP ABOUT MY BIRTHDAY!!!" D:< Does anyone else think that this is kinda cute? I mean, what does that tell us about the Bull Demon King?
growing up I actually thought he's quite a good person, just a dude doing his best to provide for his family and protect them from harm, but then the kid's kinda a spoiled brat so ye
@@adeepseafish1238 Yeh, he's still a man-eating demon and an arsehole, who also raised a spoiled brat, but still it shows that he does care for his child, albeit in a misguided manner (as spoiling parents are want to do). There is nuance to his character and I find it fascinating to think about. :)
Interesting fact: The Bull Demon King is the inspiration for Bowser. Originally, Shigeru Miyamoto wanted the villain of _Super Mario Bros._ to be an anthropomorphic bull in reference to the _JttW_ character, but when it was pointed out to him that a bull being king of a bunch of turtles didn’t make a lot of sense thematically, he decided to change him into a giant turtle with a few bull-like features to maintain the connection. That’s why Bowser has bull horns and a snout instead of a turtle beak.
Man, Journey to the West really does know how to tie-in previously established powers and people. And people say Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover...
I mean, Red Boy, aka Hong Hai Er, aka, Kougaiji (YES, Saiyuki fans, THAT Kougaiji), is basically a fan fic backstory for the Hindu figure named Sudhana, the assistant to Avalokitesvara (aka Guanyin's original Hindu MALE self). As far as Hinduism had been concerned, Avalokitesvara always had Sudhana as assistant.
Raspberry Milkshake Spoiler alert: In the end the Buddha found out he miss counted, they only went through 80 troubles, so on the way back they got thrown in a river.
In some ways, you're very fortunate, noodle boy. Not many insects are lucky enough to be stomped out by the demon bull famil- Ah- ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING! TO ME!!! I, Red Son, will not be disrespected!!! You're HISTORY!!!!
I’m in love with the fact that this series got me into the Lego Monkie Kid and now Red will be the forever voice for monkey and Blue for Tripitaka and Buddha
I started to smirk cuz of the irony... I continued to grin because it IS one of the better animes out there, and the fact that your comment says as much as it does... it's so meta it hurts.
Seriously though, an anime with good production values adapting Journey to the West would be insanely fun. Weird that so far despite being one of the oldest and most famous story's from the east it hasn't (minus Dragon Ball).
Lol me too man. He wrecked havoc in their heavens but then in the next episodes he's just fighting equally with demons?? Man what's with this power levels. I can't understand lol. But anyways, despite being an old folk tale, the story telling was badass.
@@janjacobfernandez5527 there are tons of theories to explain this "power level glitch", but sadly they are mostly in Chinese. The most popular one has something to do with a conspiracy theory.
@@parkchimmin7913 at least Kagome tries to figure a way how to get out of those situations or fights back. Tripitaka seems to do nothing to make things easier for his group.
The horse/dragon is a relative to the dragon king, there is a scene where he is the diplomat to the dragon king because Sun Wu Kong only knows to bully the poor dragon king...
@@thephlophers Actually, this was explained in the opening chapters. Wukong, Bajie, Wujing and Dragon Horse could very easily fly Tripitaka to the Western Heavens, but there is a literal "it is the journey, not the destination" that has to happen. If our heroes did not travel by mortal means, they would never encounter and overcome all the demons and calamities along the way and in doing so, pacify the mystical evils along the way. Similar to how the labours of Heracles low-key explains why all the monsters are gone, Jouney to the West has our heroes eliminate all the demonic threats along the silk road between the Tang, Central Asia, and India (aka the known Chinese world). There is also an allegory and Pro Chinese propaganda in it too, where in overcoming many of the threats along the way, our heroes from Tang China bring peace to the lands they travel through.
Ok, I know it's been 3 years but can we acknowledge how cute it is that the Bull demon king cares so much about his son to never shut up about his birthday?
Uh yes... I am the local patrol handling the shapeshifting demon attacks... like--an official or whatever... we uh... have this totally in order and in line. You do not need to let anybody else know about this. We... uh... have this under control... and stuff.
Good question. My guess is that this was such a wide influence that some execs would think it's too cliched even for them, or arrogantly assume that they've refined these tropes into perfect molds that far surpass their sources. Would love to a pure* journey to the west anime though. Well handled, it would basically be the former heavyweight reborn to inspire their successors once more.
There are already enough of those animes and movies, besides, this book is just too familiar for everyone, a 10 years old can tell the complete story line.
This is legitimately a fantastic series to watch, this episode was really cool to have been able to see some of Son's real bits of character development
Fun fact someone pointed out, but in the cartoon Monkey Kid, they drop a LOT of nods to the original JTTW including Red Son (Red Boy) punching himself to activate his Samadi fire in a flashback. Some events and characters are shuffled around in MK from the original story but overall it actually is pretty close to the orginal and sort of creates its own AU canon. It gets lost in all the action, adventure, and jokes but there is a subtle undertone of Sun-Wu Kong by the point MK starts having grown to really miss his friends and traveling companions since being super immortal he has outlived all of them. Oh they also make a cut-off reference to that time he picked a fight with Budda.
Fun fact, Moksha - Quan Yin's disciple, is Prince Nezha's older brother. They also have an eldest brother named Jinzha, who is the disciple of another Buddha. Their family's own mythology - which is also Nezha's origin story - is pretty insane and interesting that Red should totally cover one day.
Man, I wish more stories that tried to rip off the Journey to the West formula did it like this. Everyone's good and bad decisions actually made sense for their characters, Monkey needed help to save the day, and it was SUPER fun to see Kuan Yin get involved. Dayum, NEVER piss off a Boddhitsava. This is easily my favorite so far. Red, your art was exceptional. Those giant Steven Uiniverse eyes on Monkey when Kuan Yin migraine-mudhra'd Red Boy are perhaps the best expression he has EVER worn. Thank you for continuing this! Take as long as you need to for the next one. I know just like this one, it will be worth the wait. :)
I mean the "I know this guy or one of his friends, I'll just go in completely unprepared for battle and talk to him and everything will be fine" trope is really common in anime. So is getting bailed out by some OP character.
Wait was the key to Red Boy proving this was Monkey disguised as his father seriously that his dad is always talking about his birth? That he knows the exact hour and minute he became a dad? That...that's frigging PRECIOUS
you'd think monkey would just create a mountain protocol booklet for whenever they have to pass a mountain. #1:there is always at least 1 demon on the mountain. #2:it will almost always be too powerful for you to see. #3:it will turn into someone who needs our help in order to kidnap tripitaka #4:DO NOT HELP HELP ANYONE WHEN CROSSING THE MOUNTAIN.
@@rahulrai7910 I think the whole point behind Tripitaka is that he is a selfless and honorable person: Trap or not, he must help those that appear in need of help, he literally has the 4 bodyguards(including horse dragon) to protect him when his kindness leads him into a trap. He could not complete his journey if he ignored the pleas of someone begging for help. He's much more akin to the "Too kind for his own good" trope over just being a stupid guy...
"A metric f* ton of swords," eh? Let's see, assuming an average weight of about 4.5 lbs per sword, covert to metric, and the answer is... Oh. Oh my. Well, that butt is basically gone. They'll be calling him Red Boy for a whole different reason after this.

5:18 I like to think every time Monkey breaks into the ocean, heaven, or wherever else, there's a perfectly functioning door, like, 2 meters to the left.
At least one god has tried to remedy this once by not patching the hole and just building a new door over it, but next week Monkey just broke in a bit further down.
I love this

Saaaame dude xD
I've been waiting for so long
@Kathryn Rovito and @Jayavishnu she releases every part after one another and she will finish it it just takes a while for each part to come out. The reason why these take so long is because of the fact she has to read and animate for other things on the channel, so this only gets worked on for a small portion of her time. Not to mention she cuts out some of the story as it's very episodic (not saying those parts are bad, in fact they're quite the contrary) and then animate in the little time she has.
K thanks bye
I understand But it's been too long What I mean is longer than the time span of other videos that's why I started to worry if she forgot about it

I like how Sandy was somehow scared that Monkey was dead.
Like I know he's not fireproof in this case but he *is* like immortal x5 or something at this point.
At least ten thousand times because of the peaches wine and pills individually
@@hellfire286 Okay two questions, One how many years does a dying take off, and two dont the peaches and pills extend the lifespan of the individual by a ridiculous amount?
Shouldn't he logically be fire proof though? I mean he is made of stone
@@Emily12471 the lifetime is expanded by a ridiculous amount so he can live for an immeasurable amount of time but he also can’t die because of his training so a “death” is more of a major injury. In terms of fire immunity he can resist earthly and heavenly fire but the True Fire of Samedhi is neither so it can hurt him.
@@hellfire286 ah i see, i thought primarily because he is made of stone. Like why would anyone attempt too use any easily available fire against him? Do they? Idk haven't actually read the book
Okay, but can we talk about how monkey tries to protect Kuan Yin? Like, he's obviously fully aware that she can take care of herself, considering the epic move she just made, but monkey's instinct is just "protect" at this point and that makes me very happy
Can we just appriciate how badass Quan Yin is? Like pretty much every other character is.
you can see the quan yin temples everywhere in china，it is most important godness in China
She’s basically no.2 from Buddha, hence how powerful she is
I hope Red covers her story. I find her origins interesting as it displays her as the most belong woman in China despite her father hating her for not being normal
Her other stories are much better

SummerSong honestly same
To be fair it's actually a good warning because bandits love using bait to lure people.
Yeah it's a pretty popular trick used by bandits, they have one of them who look the least suspicious to pretend to be in need of help (like their carriage broke down) and lure unsuspecting travellers into their trap. Even better if the bait is a beautiful woman (working with the bandits) cause not only does she appear innocent but she could also lure those who aren't actually charitable but are attracted by her beauty. That's why you have many old stories (from different cultures) telling you to be suspicious of beautiful women in shady places (like in a forest or on a road far from town).
In fact, Sun Wukong is not afraid of fire, but of smoke. When Sun Wukong was placed into Laozi’s Alchemy Furnace, he hid in the position of "巽," which protected him from being burned. However, in the Bagua, “巽” represents wind, and the wind blew smoke into his eyes, injuring them and turning them into his "golden-gaze fiery eyes." These eyes allowed him to see through demons, but also made him vulnerable to smoke. In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong's eyes were twice harmed by smoke, during the battles with the Yellow Wind Demon and the Red Boy.
南巢 was that the cave demon that blinded him with the wind?
@@nickjack1696 Yes, it was the cave demon in the third episode of this series.
Turbo Charged just because he’s saying all this smart stuff that you can’t comprehend with your small idiotic brain doesn’t mean you fire back with that weak insult :|
南巢 So his eyes are his Achilles heel! That makes a lot of sense, in both literal and metaphorical contexts
wait so his ability to see demons under cover was just a side affect of the wind torture???
We don't know what happened to Red Boy after this.Maybe he ended up becoming Kuan Yin's slave. Maybe he reconciled and started crashing in his dad's basement. Maybe he revealed he was a girl the whole time and spent millennia learning about other cultures' legends and folklore to one day tell the masses about them through videos. We just don't know.
Just Some Guy with a Mustache oh hey it’s you
He stays Kuan Yin's little page boy and you can see him cameoed in some Folk paintings beside Kuan Yin, along a dragon girl who also turned into Kuan Yin's servant after being saved by Red Boy from shenanigans, as legend goes.
Red = red boy confirmed???
I feel like this guy with a moustache is justin Y. 's rivalry.
Red Boy is based on Sudhana (Ch: Sancai), whose spiritual journey is told in the 'Gandavyuha Sutra' (c. 3rd-cent.). The youth sets out on a quest towards enlightenment and trains under 52 different teachers, including Maitreya, Avalokiteśvara (the South Asian variant of Guanyin), Manjusri, and Samantabhadra. This is why he becomes Guanyin's disciple in the novel. As stated by a previous person, this explains why some religious paintings include a small praying child standing next to the Bodhisattva.
I rewatch these episodes a bunch and realize just how much subtle character development goes on. like Piggsy actually helping, the one that really stands out is Sun wukongs rush to take a blow for Guan Yin think about it, he has no reason to do this. she's not tripitaka and its not his job to help her but he does so anyway because that's just what he does now!
Man, the rambling plot, the false starts. This story was long ass anime before it was a thing.
And yet the complete lack of a brooding counter-opposite rival or thoroughly pointless romantic subplot keep elevating it above and beyond.
But it doesn't have any fan service or any real big busty females or men that never ware shirts, giant tentacles fan service, girl on top of girl, suggestive charter or item design.
@@bennelson7020 It's more based on the drawings but most deities in these myths are actually THICC, men included.
Ben Nelson that’s why most modern interpretations gender bend between one to four of the team to balance that problem out.
I know it’s not a perfect solution but it’s the best we could come up with, with only one hand free.
Or the whole anime genre was very inspired by it.
Sun Wukong: IS THAT A DEMON!?
Tripitaka: no this is an orphan
Sun Wukong: I’m beating it to death

he tries to fight Sun Wu Kong cause of the situation with his son
growing up I actually thought he's quite a good person, just a dude doing his best to provide for his family and protect them from harm, but then the kid's kinda a spoiled brat so ye
@@adeepseafish1238 Yeh, he's still a man-eating demon and an arsehole, who also raised a spoiled brat, but still it shows that he does care for his child, albeit in a misguided manner (as spoiling parents are want to do). There is nuance to his character and I find it fascinating to think about. :)
D’ya think he’s got the ancient equivalent of photos of his son in his wallet?
Interesting fact: The Bull Demon King is the inspiration for Bowser.
Originally, Shigeru Miyamoto wanted the villain of _Super Mario Bros._ to be an anthropomorphic bull in reference to the _JttW_ character, but when it was pointed out to him that a bull being king of a bunch of turtles didn’t make a lot of sense thematically, he decided to change him into a giant turtle with a few bull-like features to maintain the connection. That’s why Bowser has bull horns and a snout instead of a turtle beak.
Man, Journey to the West really does know how to tie-in previously established powers and people. And people say Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover...

I mean, Red Boy, aka Hong Hai Er, aka, Kougaiji (YES, Saiyuki fans, THAT Kougaiji), is basically a fan fic backstory for the Hindu figure named Sudhana, the assistant to Avalokitesvara (aka Guanyin's original Hindu MALE self). As far as Hinduism had been concerned, Avalokitesvara always had Sudhana as assistant.

Yes. He will later fight Jiu Tou Chong (Nine-head Worm) to recapture Buddha's relics and wash his grievance.
@@thephlophers
Actually, this was explained in the opening chapters. Wukong, Bajie, Wujing and Dragon Horse could very easily fly Tripitaka to the Western Heavens, but there is a literal "it is the journey, not the destination" that has to happen.
If our heroes did not travel by mortal means, they would never encounter and overcome all the demons and calamities along the way and in doing so, pacify the mystical evils along the way.
Similar to how the labours of Heracles low-key explains why all the monsters are gone, Jouney to the West has our heroes eliminate all the demonic threats along the silk road between the Tang, Central Asia, and India (aka the known Chinese world).
There is also an allegory and Pro Chinese propaganda in it too, where in overcoming many of the threats along the way, our heroes from Tang China bring peace to the lands they travel through.
Ok, I know it's been 3 years but can we acknowledge how cute it is that the Bull demon king cares so much about his son to never shut up about his birthday?

It’s worth every minute we’ve waited. Keep kicking ass Red!
Hearing this, it makes me wonder why there wasn’t a pure “Journey to the West” anime?
Good question. My guess is that this was such a wide influence that some execs would think it's too cliched even for them, or arrogantly assume that they've refined these tropes into perfect molds that far surpass their sources. Would love to a pure* journey to the west anime though. Well handled, it would basically be the former heavyweight reborn to inspire their successors once more.
There kinda is one: "Saiyuki: journey to the west", it's takes big liberties but its kinda fun to watch.
Amount of "filler", would be my guess.
There are already enough of those animes and movies, besides, this book is just too familiar for everyone, a 10 years old can tell the complete story line.
It's clearly inspired Dragonball. Goku is based on Sun Wu Kong and Pigsy is Oolong and Sandy is Yamcha
This is legitimately a fantastic series to watch, this episode was really cool to have been able to see some of Son's real bits of character development
Fun fact someone pointed out, but in the cartoon Monkey Kid, they drop a LOT of nods to the original JTTW including Red Son (Red Boy) punching himself to activate his Samadi fire in a flashback. Some events and characters are shuffled around in MK from the original story but overall it actually is pretty close to the orginal and sort of creates its own AU canon.
It gets lost in all the action, adventure, and jokes but there is a subtle undertone of Sun-Wu Kong by the point MK starts having grown to really miss his friends and traveling companions since being super immortal he has outlived all of them.
Oh they also make a cut-off reference to that time he picked a fight with Budda.

#2:it will almost always be too powerful for you to see.
#3:it will turn into someone who needs our help in order to kidnap tripitaka
#4:DO NOT HELP HELP ANYONE WHEN CROSSING THE MOUNTAIN.
Tripitaka would have forgotten about it anyways,given the past experience he seems to not be smart
@@rahulrai7910 I think the whole point behind Tripitaka is that he is a selfless and honorable person: Trap or not, he must help those that appear in need of help, he literally has the 4 bodyguards(including horse dragon) to protect him when his kindness leads him into a trap. He could not complete his journey if he ignored the pleas of someone begging for help. He's much more akin to the "Too kind for his own good" trope over just being a stupid guy...
@@Ruleradminius he believed everything pigsy lied about sun wukong 😑
"A metric f* ton of swords," eh?
Let's see, assuming an average weight of about 4.5 lbs per sword, covert to metric, and the answer is...
Oh. Oh my.
Well, that butt is basically gone. They'll be calling him Red Boy for a whole different reason after this.
(The answer is 500 if anyone is wondering)
Thank you good sir
