Someone wants to prove causality by complaining about human greed. In the animation, the setting is that Yellowbrow can generate jewels by eating seafood, and the small village is a poor fishing village. Yellowbrow can use magic to bring down fish, but at the same time, a tornado also destroys the fishing boats. In other words, Yellowbrow destroyed the village's original economic foundation, making the villagers dependent on him. As a result, with development, around Yellowbrow , monks, officers, and bureaucrats appeared, but most people remained poor and lost their original means of production (fishing boats and tools). All they could do was pray for a portion of the jewels from the accountant. Yellowbrow could have taught the fishermen to adapt to nature, make tools, grow herbs, and other means of livelihood. But he didn't do that. Instead, he made the villagers become foolish, lazy, greedy, and vicious rather than wise, hardworking, generous, and calm. As you sow, so shall you reap. Good begets good, evil begets evil, black and white are reversed, and one gets what one deserves.
The turtle is yellow brow, of a different incarnation, he and Jinchanzi (Sanzang/ Wukong’s master) had the a same mentor and in the same branch, Yellowbrow debate against Jinchanzi, that the nature of Human is Evil, instead of Good, to prove his point he bet on his entire cycle to win against Jinchanzi, he came down to human world as a leatherneck turtle that bleed treasure, shed medicines, and spill mucus that turn people young and beautiful, eventually greed took over the village, they killed what they worship, and soon the village is abandoned because the social structure is destroyed along with the turtle god (in the cutscene, Yellowbrow summons tornadoes that bring forth fishes, but also destroyed fishing boats, he give people fish instead teaching people to fish). Jinchanzi came across Yellowbrow telling him he turned the cause and effect around but he made the point by his intention of proving a point.
@@taddad2641he wanted to prove his point about human nature is evil by deliberately turning the villagers evil just like what he wanted from the very beginning. Just like what the Monk said, he do not really prove anything in the end.
To put this whole animation in easier terms, here's what it looks like: Jinchanzi: I see a well-made vase here. Yellowbrow: Nah man, it's not. Yellowbrow then proceeds to push the vase from the table off to ground, but the vase didn't break. Later, Yellowbrow throw the vase off from the roof of a 10 story building, but the vase still didn't break. Finally, Yellowbrow climbed to the top of the Empire State building and slammed the vase heavily down from there. This time the vase finally broke. Yellowbrow: See man? Told you it's not a well-made vase. Jinchanzi: Whatever, douchebag. You win.
Modern translation of the dialogue at the end of the film; "Senior brother, you've been on Reddit all day again, huh?" "Junior brother, look at this! The people in this forum are so dumb. I posted a bait thread and caught a ton of them!" "You're right, but is it really worth it? You bait them by playing dumb, but then get roasted hard. Is it all worth the trouble?" "What are you talking about? I go online specifically for the arguments!"
I find the bet the Turtle had with his monk familiar very interesting. The turtle claimed that mankind is greedy and sinful by nature, and that they will never be worthy of divine enlightenment. Yet, the turtle deliberately encouraged their greed. He encouraged the desperate humans to become reliant on him, making a show of his powers and allowing them to worship him as an almighty god. The turtle never teaches the humans humility and temperance, nor attempts to instill in them self-reliance. In fact, the turtle himself indulges in gluttonous behavior, as shown in the various scenes where he devours squid after squid in a grotesque fashion. The turtle places all the blame on humanity, who he claims will always fall short of divinity because of their sinful, selfish nature. However, at the same time, the turtle refuses to accept his responsibility as an enlightened being to guide humanity and teach humans what is good and what is evil. Rather, he uses his immense power to feed into humanity’s primitive instincts and push the humans into savagery and self-ruin. As the monk says at the end of the cinematic “You sow chaos in the hearts of men solely to prove a point. How pathetic.”
Even proving no point, has a point! You give desperate people all the help and money they need, "not of kindness!", but see how long before they get greedy. Eventually you'll always win..... because you were looking for the people who sin, not the people who try their best not too!
In Chinese version JinChanzi says to Yellowbrow "惑乱人心,倒果为因" (What you did was to inverse the role of cause and effect). The corresponding translation, "you chose a means to an end, not a proof", a simplification for understanding but a loss in understanding of Buddhism.
Yes it is, perhaps it is meant to represent how a lot of mediscine came to use it but people ended up hunting it down so bad (in the past, for thousands of years) to the point that it is becoming endangered, and now cultivated into manufacturing business, people want more.
The animation in Chapter 3 is really great, especially the scene of people grabbing jewelry, which is worth watching frame by frame. Each picture is a work of art with high information content
If you notice at 2:13, it seem like there is an unseen force pulling the man's shirt forward (+ whispering noise?). I think it want to symbolize that the man fell for for devil's temptation and his greed.
No, it was the Turtle doing. He use some kind of magic to control the man to commit evil which as a result pushing other villagers to do the same. If he did not do that, the villagers will never be greedy.
@@CosminGrg that is the point of the animation: his proof is already invalid from the very beginning because it is his intention to make the villagers greedy and commit evil just to winning his debate against the Monk.
It has sense, see, in this story there's a debate if mortals ever are worthy of immortality, and this turtle god knew exactly what was about to happen since the beginning, he passed through that suffering to prove him right displaying the bad behavior of the mortals. At the end there's a conversation between this god in the remainings of his mortal body and other god, in which the turtle claims himself right because proved mortals are filthy , and the other god affirms that if you force to look for the filth in the mortals you'll find it but it doesn't prove they're just filthy and always unworthy. It's easy to interpret this animation as "humans are bad" but this animation, and the story behind, is a part of a big story, based on a even bigger story : Journey to the West, by the Ming dynasty.
He's not a God. He's tang zang, the monk who journeyed west and is the master of wukong. Him and yellowbrow are more like disciple of the same master except he was trying to prove how ugly mortals are, but tang says otherwise
So in a sense both their points have merit, yes Humans are innately greedy creatures but that is not all they are, if you go out into the world intentionally looking for the worst in it you will inevitably find it.
@@Brainflayer Exactly this. While we are capable of great acts of cruelty and greed, we are also capable of great mercy, kindness, and love. It is simply a choice on who we are.
"Once again, I proved it to you, Jingchangzi." * Bombastic side eye * "You didn't prove a thing. You made these people worship you, by granting them blessings that fixed all their problems. You made them depend on you, by taking away any point in their continuing to _work_ to gain wealth and food, because you provided them both. And you made them resent you, because you allowed greedy elites to hoard the treasure you deigned to give, while they gave only a meager amount to anyone else in turn. And even still, with all that set up, you had to give one little shove yourself to finally make it all fall. You rigged the game to get the result you wanted, not the result that would have happened no matter what, if humans were all corrupt and filthy like you claimed." "Yeah, yeah, but what I claimed would happen, happened. So there."
“How nice that you prove that your claims are nonsense. You claim that human by nature is evil, yet the fact that you were alive that long without being plundered was antithesis to that idea. The village was poor, and yet the fisherman captured you chose to share the goods rather than hoard the spoils. When you bring them fish and other seafood, you also destroy their fishing boats collapsing the whole village’s infrastructure, causing them to dependent on you. Even then, the one that caused the village to plunder your body had to be bewitched to do so by you. In the end they were nurtured to be evil. You did not prove anything.” “What I said still happen.” “You falsify your evidence for this thesis of yours.” “Nu uh.” “… I’m leaving.”
He proved it so he could rule people cruelly with a clear conscience (you are sinful so I can torture you rightfully). Think of what he did to the workers and stonemasons.
It's a shame that IGN and Western game journalists were so fixated on the so called "lack of inclusivity" when the games story and mythology has so much more to teach about human nature and Buddhist and Taoist teachings..... But then again what do you expect from a bunch narcissistic woketivists who think they are above everyone else
No way out,IGN is a byproduct of international politics in recent years, which is equivalent to some governments' brainwashing tactics, mistaking so-called correctness for truth, as the story goes, reversing black and white, and reversing the cause. What ordinary people can do is to stay clear headed, resist political brainwashing, and think independently, which is the most important treasure of human beings@@thefattesthagrid
When you want to test the hardness of a piece of glass, the glass is destinated to break. But if you test all glasses, you may find diamonds among them, just like Jinchanzi.
I get it. Instead of being satisfied with the prosperity he brought, they instead became consumed with greed and destroyed the source of that prosperity. It's like butchering the goose that lays the golden eggs.
If you notice, judging by the conversation at the end, it seems like part of their murdering the golden goose was influenced by the turtle itself, to prove that humans were evil. Perhaps the people of the village wouldn't have ever tried to kill him if he did spread mania to them that night. The guy that does the initial stabbing even looks like he's being pulled forward by an invisible force at one point.
@@TalenkauenTV Yes, We can even see how unnatural the man leans forward as if someone was pulling him. We can even see in the animation of his shirt tightening too.
@@michealsmith4629 He did do all of this (helping the people) just to prove a point. For what he thinks humans are filthy and greedy creatures. They just need a little push to reveal what was always there.... Or so the turtle thinks. For like you, the monk at the end came to the conclusion that the turtle pushed the people to this point, and how one sided his views are. For humans are more capable than being filthy and greedy. The turtle only wanted to see those side of humans to prove a point.
@@michealsmith4629 You can also see in the animation that the man looks at the turtle before the camera zooms into the turtle's gem-like eyes then we go into the perspective of the man. I can at least include that Turtle is influencing the man.
The two gods had an argument about human nature... and the big one decided to prove his point: that human nature is evil itself. But he cheated cause he manipulate the villagers, pushed them to act as he wanted do. At the end video the other god replied that he prove nothing acting that way,.. and in my opinion he is right
The Turtle did not even give the villagers a chance to prove him wrong. Even though they were kind enough to rescue him from the water, kind enough to build him a shrine, kind enough to worship him as their god. He never saw any of their kindness because to him, humans are all greedy and evil.
1. The barely clothed villagers chose not to rip Yellowbrow apart for food when they discovered him. 2. When Yellowbrow initially demonstrated his ability to produce pearls, the villagers chose to thank him by building a temple to worship him. 3. When the villagers received the wealth from Yellowbrow, they did not show more greed but chose to continue their usual laboring. 4. To further thanks and grace, not only did the worshipers continue to grow, but they also give him a position as the buddha of their village. 5. The local government did not take all the wealth for themselves but rather established a system to distribute wealth evenly among the villagers. And yet, all 5 of the above didn't count as signs or proofs of "kindness" for Yellowbrow. Maybe he's simply incapable of seeing humans' inner kindness; maybe he's just forcefully neglecting them, but whatever the logic behind is, it's certain that the only thing Yellowbrow cared about here is to prove "humans are inherently evil" so that he can win a boring bet. And thus, we see Yellowbrow continue to engineer series of events that might make the villagers finally succumb to their greed; he even did this to the extend that he was practically brainwashing and controlling one of the villagers to start the ravage (at 2:14 we can clearly see some sort of unknown force was dragging that guy out, and he also seemed to have lost his sanity as well), and that at that point, he finally "won". Hence, we see Jinchanzi later said (in Chinese) that what Yellowbrow did was "nothing but inverting the role of cause and effect(倒果为因)"(I get that in English subtitles, it was "you chose a means to an end, not to a proof", but I personally find this way of translating is better at conveying the meaning the writers intended"). Jinchanzi was pretty much saying, "bro, your whole proof works here is bullshit", but in a very polite way.
To put this whole animation in easier terms, here's what it looks like: Jinchanzi: I see a well-made vase here. Yellowbrow: Nah man, it's not.

@@beadierchimera682yes, it end exactly how he wanted. he is basically immortal, cant not die or even feel the pain. the turle form that he used was to purposely nurture the chaos in the heart of men. he didnt directly control the mortal, but manipulate them step by step, nurture their greed and evil but not their good sides all of that, just to win a debate
Yellowbrow is an misanthrope. While he has a point about human greed, he is also the instigator. Ultimately the message is this: Be a benevolent being and one person will end up screwing everything up, but tricking people into do doing so makes you a part of the problem. In the end, either he or Jinchanzi end up winning the debate over human nature because while Yellowbrow is right, he is so for the wrong reasons. Another thing is that during the carnage, there was people that tried to defend Yellowbrow and the tragedy of this was that their actions are ignored and forgotten which is another metaphor for human nature. The few that do good during injustices end up failing to make an effort or change, something that likely further fuels Yellowbrow's misanthropy. This animation hits hard on so many levels and is a masterpiece.
All the interpretations I read so far in the comments are not entirely correct imp. You have to know Buddhism and watch the Chinese version of the animation to understand what the debate is all about. Jinchanzi and the Yellow Brow had a debate about truth (karma in this case). Buddhism teaches that if people do good, they will get good karma and be rewarded for it: wealth, health and ultimately salvation (becoming a buddha), because it teaches that good is our true heart. So we do good not just because of the reward, but because doing good is our true nature, the nature of Buddha that everyone posesses. But Yellow Brow's point is that all people care about is the reward of the karma. As long as he gives people wealth and a good material life, people will eventually abandon buddhist teaching. So he became a monster and gave people in this village wealth. At the beginning, people were grateful and worshipped him as a Buddha. But later people found out that by killing the monster (aka breaking buddhist law), they could get more money. So someone did it and other followed, which proves Yellow Brow's point: All people care about is reward, and people search truth and do good because of the reward, not because they follow their true heart. So he founded his own temple and claimed himself Buddha and taught his monks that the ultimate truth is happiness and there is no other law. As long as you have fun, just do it. Even saying a prayer, a sutra is nothing noble, because it is only for your own pleasure in heaven and has selfish purposes. So it is pointless to follow any truth, because in the end what everyone worships is happiness. If you play this chapter in the game, he will tempt you and try to convince you that you don't really need to follow the law to achieve happiness: Killing can be pleasurable, too. And if the heaven kills, why can't we do the same? Jinchanzi told him that he is pathetic for corrupting the hearts of people and confusing the means and the ends just for winning a debate. One follows the truth ultimately because the truth is in his heart, not because of the reward. The truth has its own sake and only the truth can bring true happiness (the ends).
@@Spino-hx2mr Yes. He used temptation to prove himself right, that most people only care about pleasure and don't really follow their heart. That's why Jinchanzi said he is pathetic. The story is basically the story in the book of Job in the Bible, the devil in the book of Job has the same intention because he didn't believe that Job really cared about God, so he said if he makes Job's life miserable then he would abandon God at once. But in the rare case of Job the devil lost because Job is indeed a pious man even if in the time of suffering. But not everyone is Job, so for most people Yellow Brow (the devil) is correct. Most people will abandon his conscience when being tempted.
@@Spino-hx2mr Yes, that interpretation would be in the correct spectrum. Yellow Brow is essentially claiming an animal is aggressive by nature and then attacking it to prove it. In the animation, you can see how the tornado, while bringing material wealth like seafood also destroy their fishing boat causing the village infrastructure to collapse. If you looked closely, you can also see how he bewitched the man that started the whole wealth plundering. He is essentially falsifying research data for his thesis. He wanted to prove that human nature is essentially evil, yet the only thing we can observed is that the people were nurtured to be evil by him. Whether he was right or not doesn’t matter anymore, his claim is nonsense because of his action, which is the song is called “Nonsense”.
Isn’t it more like Yellowbrow thinks humans are lesser cause they can’t help but follow gratification so hence that’s what they ought to do? That’s the meaning of their life, the endless cycle brought by it
The scene where everyone starts to lose their mind is very graphic and pretty disturbing to look at. It's moslty due to the fluidity of the organs spiling out, the close look of the injuries, the distortion and the detail of the faces that smiles in a pretty scary way. Despite this pretty "traumatic scene", the animation and the deep message behind it is pure art. the guys behing this are really talented and we have some inspiration from the Gibli studio's artistic style.
Jinchanzi can directly translate to gold cicada which is the monk’s name. He is the second discipline of Buddha, who was once before demoted to the mortal world simply because he dozing off during Buddha’s lecture. I heard Buddha stories thousands of times. Back when I was little, we even have children books about Buddha stories in our family.
It’s not about greed. It’s a debate between two higher beings which destroyed this village. Is the human nature is greedy? No, it’s changing. The turtle didn’t prove a point, he manipulated the humans to get the result he wanted
@@sleepy_pommieboth him and the monk have the point. The problem is they failed to see that both of their points are just part of the whole truth, which is why the debate is entirely "nonsense" since it fail to conclude the possible that mortal nature are much more complex than greed or no greed
The softshell turtle is yellow brow, the story is he brought disaster to the village just to prove his point that all humans are greedy and born evil. But he was pointed out by Wukong’s master that he mistook means to ends.
The Chinese name of the song is literally "Fart",which is a vulgar way to say "Nonsense" in Chinese, like "bullshit". And here's my translation of the lyrics, I tried my best to translate the lyrics with traditional Chinese ideologies: Heaven and hell, same in every world, Do not pursue, seek no salvation, In the darkest night, the very moment of this time, Righteous and injustice, black and white,all distorted, All sentient beings, Love and hate, greed and anger, life and death, all is intertwined, and never forgotten, The essence of life, is the essence of human desires. This has always been a controversial view among Buddhists: Is it to save all living beings from endless desires, or to embrace them? Yellow Brow's view is obviously the latter. He's not "evil" or "wrong", he is "the alternate choice". The lyrics of this song are the best interpretation of Yellow Brow's ultimate belief. Once you understand this song, you understand Yellow Brow's motivation. Man this game is deep like fuck!
He is not just a turtle he is also a elephant. There is actually so much lore in this one animation alone it's crazy. Each frame has so sort of meaning to it starting from the falling from the sky to the very end. It's the best form of art in my opinion.
Petition for whatever 2d animation studio they used got these cut scenes to start making anime ither original or adapting some manga or donhua whose in
To put this whole animation in simpler terms, here's what it looks like: Jinchanzi: I see a well-made vase here. Yellowbrow: Nah man, it's not. Yellowbrow then proceeds to push the vase from the table off to ground, but the vase didn't break. Later, Yellowbrow throw the vase off from the roof of a 10 story building, but the vase still didn't break. Finally, Yellowbrow climbed to the top of the Empire State building and slammed the vase heavily down from there. This time the vase finally broke. Yellowbrow: See man? Told you it's not a well-made vase. Jinchanzi: Whatever, douchebag. You win.
I saw a comment on a less honest cut of this saying how the most important bit was cut out, and it was. For he speaks the truth. Nature of man isn't Greed perse, it is to learn, and if you teach them to be dependent and make them desperate.. greed will fester. It is not our nature to be evil or good, but to adapt and learn, and survive just like any other being.
“Greed. Humanity’s greed” Is what I thought after watching. But after reading how he gave into the people’s interests and destroyed their tools, I see differently now.
Even if we don't like it, there is a valid point on YellowBrow and that is how easy it was for him to manipulate humans into becoming greedy, dependent and eventually "evil". A tenant in Buddhism is recognizing that we humans are in a cycle. We can break free from that cycle through a path (The 4 truths of Buddhism), but said path is not an easy path and even Jinchanzi knows this because otherwise every human would achieve Buddhahood but that's not the case, cultivation is not easy but giving yourself into your impulses and instincts is easy.
At 2:14, it looks like he was pulled toward the turtle by a mysterious force, maybe it indicates that at this moment, greed had completely taken over one's soul
Chinese animation is currently one of the top, and there are more animated movies in China, such as: Yang Jian, Nezha, Monkey King, The Legend of the Green Snake, The Legend of the White Snake, Big Fish and Begonia, Jiang Ziya, Wind Curse, Chang'an Thirty Thousand inside.

What happened to that village and the people after the turtle was killed ! Why are there gold in the sand when they were having a discussion at the end ?
There is something else to this animation. Look, if the turtle was willing to give a lot to make a poor village rich, how could there still be seemingly poor ppl?
The turtle gives everything the village could hope for: wealth, food, medicine, etc. But with it, he also takes away the people’s ability to produce. He should have taught them how to better catch fish or other productive activities that the people can hold onto. Instead, what he created is a cycle of dependency. People don’t do work anymore, only beg him for pearls. Only when he cuts himself, pearls will come out of his wounds. He makes small cuts, then his army of bureaucrats and temple attendants weigh the pearls to give to the poor supplicants. But once people realized that he controls how the pearls are made, that they could be richer if they made bigger cuts, that cycle of dependency was broken. Even his guards turned on him. But in the end, he’s dying and the villagers go back being poor.
This can also be a fable about environmentalism. Don't destroy the land that feeds you and gives you profitable harvests as you search for quick profits, because you will lose everything in the end.
@@bazo8478 That's not exactly true. Because the crux of the fable is comparing human nature's inner innate greed/short-sightedness versus external influencers, and it's not settled definitively which one caused the outcome here. There is well-known saying in the scientific community regarding the "nature vs nurture" psychology debate: _Nature loads the gun, but the environment pulls the trigger_
@@beyondfossil The Giant turtle was debating about human nature is good or evil with the Monk who shown in the end of animation. To prove his point, he come to the village and deliberately create a situation which pushing the villagers to become greedy and commit evil. He give everything to the villagers but never actually teach them self-sustain and humility. Making them fully reliant on him. It was shown when he create a water vortex to give the villagers fish but also destroying their ships in the process. He keep showing his miracle more and more to push the villagers to be greedy. That is why the Monk said to him that he chose a means to end, not a proof. Because he deliberately sow chaos in the villagers heart and how absurd and pathetic he is. He want to prove that human is greedy in nature, by deliberately turning them to be greedy.
This animation remind me so much of record of Ragnarok there are a god that also help humanity by absorbing negativity from human(pain, disease, emotion) and travelled place to place in the future he come back to the place and the place is ruined even though he already absorb every negativity from that place later buddha show up and start teaching people how to find happiness on their own
I think that everything would have ended differently if they have had much more guards and not with sticks . but yeah ,great story and the energy it keeps
It’s the Chinese version of the goose and golden egg in some form. The farmer not satisfied wit the Goose laying eggs weekly, decides to gut the goose and finds only entrails, becomes destitute and loses everything. Yellow brow of course is a realist and proved once again humanity cannot be redeemed.
@@BaneClandestine but counter point, yellow brow was basically making them reliant on him, and didn’t try to teach them or guide his followers. He himself was gluttonous, devouring all the fish in a grotesque manner. In this animatic, you can even see the collar of the greedy man being pulled by an invisible force, which is yellow brow bewitching the man into attacking him.
I think that in trying to show that humans have flaws, this deity showed its own flaws. Humans are mean, yes, especially if you put them in situations that make them so. But putting humans in those situations is a meanness unbecoming of a god who considers himself superior to humans. It's even worse, because if it's the nature of humans to be mean and they can't help it, then the god is supposed to be able to choose not to be mean, and yet he behaves meanly.

Where is Chapter 6's True Ending - Unfinished?
Someone wants to prove causality by complaining about human greed. In the animation, the setting is that Yellowbrow can generate jewels by eating seafood, and the small village is a poor fishing village. Yellowbrow can use magic to bring down fish, but at the same time, a tornado also destroys the fishing boats. In other words, Yellowbrow destroyed the village's original economic foundation, making the villagers dependent on him. As a result, with development, around Yellowbrow , monks, officers, and bureaucrats appeared, but most people remained poor and lost their original means of production (fishing boats and tools). All they could do was pray for a portion of the jewels from the accountant. Yellowbrow could have taught the fishermen to adapt to nature, make tools, grow herbs, and other means of livelihood. But he didn't do that. Instead, he made the villagers become foolish, lazy, greedy, and vicious rather than wise, hardworking, generous, and calm. As you sow, so shall you reap. Good begets good, evil begets evil, black and white are reversed, and one gets what one deserves.
Best interpretation.
Nice interpretation, that’s what Jinchanzi thought I see
It's exactly like looking for ugliness of humanity purposefully on the En side of twitter, Reddit, 4chan..😉
basically communism doesn't work
Good views but I don't think so. Yellow brow just want to prove he is right.
The turtle is yellow brow, of a different incarnation, he and Jinchanzi (Sanzang/ Wukong’s master) had the a same mentor and in the same branch, Yellowbrow debate against Jinchanzi, that the nature of Human is Evil, instead of Good, to prove his point he bet on his entire cycle to win against Jinchanzi, he came down to human world as a leatherneck turtle that bleed treasure, shed medicines, and spill mucus that turn people young and beautiful, eventually greed took over the village, they killed what they worship, and soon the village is abandoned because the social structure is destroyed along with the turtle god (in the cutscene, Yellowbrow summons tornadoes that bring forth fishes, but also destroyed fishing boats, he give people fish instead teaching people to fish). Jinchanzi came across Yellowbrow telling him he turned the cause and effect around but he made the point by his intention of proving a point.
Asian Softshell turtle* , his story almost reminds of the Mysterious Stranger (or rather the Fallen Angel) from Mark Twain.
seems more diret. he deliberately incited one to commit greed.

"Senior brother, you've been on Reddit all day again, huh?"
"Junior brother, look at this! The people in this forum are so dumb. I posted a bait thread and caught a ton of them!"
"You're right, but is it really worth it? You bait them by playing dumb, but then get roasted hard. Is it all worth the trouble?"
"What are you talking about? I go online specifically for the arguments!"
I find the bet the Turtle had with his monk familiar very interesting. The turtle claimed that mankind is greedy and sinful by nature, and that they will never be worthy of divine enlightenment. Yet, the turtle deliberately encouraged their greed. He encouraged the desperate humans to become reliant on him, making a show of his powers and allowing them to worship him as an almighty god. The turtle never teaches the humans humility and temperance, nor attempts to instill in them self-reliance. In fact, the turtle himself indulges in gluttonous behavior, as shown in the various scenes where he devours squid after squid in a grotesque fashion.
The turtle places all the blame on humanity, who he claims will always fall short of divinity because of their sinful, selfish nature. However, at the same time, the turtle refuses to accept his responsibility as an enlightened being to guide humanity and teach humans what is good and what is evil. Rather, he uses his immense power to feed into humanity’s primitive instincts and push the humans into savagery and self-ruin.
As the monk says at the end of the cinematic “You sow chaos in the hearts of men solely to prove a point. How pathetic.”
I agree with you 100%
Your comment should be pinned on top. Articulated very well & I couldn’t agree more 👍
Yellowbrow, in every of his life, just like to debate, and he didn't like to lose.

Even proving no point, has a point!
You give desperate people all the help and money they need, "not of kindness!", but see how long before they get greedy.
Eventually you'll always win..... because you were looking for the people who sin, not the people who try their best not too!

In Chinese version JinChanzi says to Yellowbrow "惑乱人心,倒果为因" (What you did was to inverse the role of cause and effect). The corresponding translation, "you chose a means to an end, not a proof", a simplification for understanding but a loss in understanding of Buddhism.
Percisely. Instead of merely observing tendecies and consistent results/memes, Yellowbrow manipulated the parameters to suit his Thesis.

If you notice at 2:13, it seem like there is an unseen force pulling the man's shirt forward (+ whispering noise?). I think it want to symbolize that the man fell for for devil's temptation and his greed.
No, it was the Turtle doing. He use some kind of magic to control the man to commit evil which as a result pushing other villagers to do the same.
If he did not do that, the villagers will never be greedy.
I think it just symbolizes the force of greed. I don't think it's Yellowbrow doing it, that would invalidate his "proof".
@@CosminGrg that is the point of the animation: his proof is already invalid from the very beginning because it is his intention to make the villagers greedy and commit evil just to winning his debate against the Monk.

It has sense, see, in this story there's a debate if mortals ever are worthy of immortality, and this turtle god knew exactly what was about to happen since the beginning, he passed through that suffering to prove him right displaying the bad behavior of the mortals.
At the end there's a conversation between this god in the remainings of his mortal body and other god, in which the turtle claims himself right because proved mortals are filthy , and the other god affirms that if you force to look for the filth in the mortals you'll find it but it doesn't prove they're just filthy and always unworthy.
It's easy to interpret this animation as "humans are bad" but this animation, and the story behind, is a part of a big story, based on a even bigger story : Journey to the West, by the Ming dynasty.
He's not a God. He's tang zang, the monk who journeyed west and is the master of wukong. Him and yellowbrow are more like disciple of the same master except he was trying to prove how ugly mortals are, but tang says otherwise

"Once again, I proved it to you, Jingchangzi."
* Bombastic side eye * "You didn't prove a thing. You made these people worship you, by granting them blessings that fixed all their problems. You made them depend on you, by taking away any point in their continuing to _work_ to gain wealth and food, because you provided them both. And you made them resent you, because you allowed greedy elites to hoard the treasure you deigned to give, while they gave only a meager amount to anyone else in turn. And even still, with all that set up, you had to give one little shove yourself to finally make it all fall. You rigged the game to get the result you wanted, not the result that would have happened no matter what, if humans were all corrupt and filthy like you claimed."
"Yeah, yeah, but what I claimed would happen, happened. So there."
“How nice that you prove that your claims are nonsense. You claim that human by nature is evil, yet the fact that you were alive that long without being plundered was antithesis to that idea. The village was poor, and yet the fisherman captured you chose to share the goods rather than hoard the spoils. When you bring them fish and other seafood, you also destroy their fishing boats collapsing the whole village’s infrastructure, causing them to dependent on you. Even then, the one that caused the village to plunder your body had to be bewitched to do so by you. In the end they were nurtured to be evil. You did not prove anything.”

“You falsify your evidence for this thesis of yours.”

I get it. Instead of being satisfied with the prosperity he brought, they instead became consumed with greed and destroyed the source of that prosperity. It's like butchering the goose that lays the golden eggs.
If you notice, judging by the conversation at the end, it seems like part of their murdering the golden goose was influenced by the turtle itself, to prove that humans were evil. Perhaps the people of the village wouldn't have ever tried to kill him if he did spread mania to them that night. The guy that does the initial stabbing even looks like he's being pulled forward by an invisible force at one point.

@@michealsmith4629 He did do all of this (helping the people) just to prove a point. For what he thinks humans are filthy and greedy creatures. They just need a little push to reveal what was always there.... Or so the turtle thinks. For like you, the monk at the end came to the conclusion that the turtle pushed the people to this point, and how one sided his views are. For humans are more capable than being filthy and greedy. The turtle only wanted to see those side of humans to prove a point.
@@michealsmith4629 You can also see in the animation that the man looks at the turtle before the camera zooms into the turtle's gem-like eyes then we go into the perspective of the man. I can at least include that Turtle is influencing the man.
The two gods had an argument about human nature... and the big one decided to prove his point: that human nature is evil itself.
But he cheated cause he manipulate the villagers, pushed them to act as he wanted do.
At the end video the other god replied that he prove nothing acting that way,.. and in my opinion he is right
The Turtle did not even give the villagers a chance to prove him wrong.
Even though they were kind enough to rescue him from the water, kind enough to build him a shrine, kind enough to worship him as their god.
He never saw any of their kindness because to him, humans are all greedy and evil.
1. The barely clothed villagers chose not to rip Yellowbrow apart for food when they discovered him.
2. When Yellowbrow initially demonstrated his ability to produce pearls, the villagers chose to thank him by building a temple to worship him.
3. When the villagers received the wealth from Yellowbrow, they did not show more greed but chose to continue their usual laboring.
4. To further thanks and grace, not only did the worshipers continue to grow, but they also give him a position as the buddha of their village.
5. The local government did not take all the wealth for themselves but rather established a system to distribute wealth evenly among the villagers.
And yet, all 5 of the above didn't count as signs or proofs of "kindness" for Yellowbrow. Maybe he's simply incapable of seeing humans' inner kindness; maybe he's just forcefully neglecting them, but whatever the logic behind is, it's certain that the only thing Yellowbrow cared about here is to prove "humans are inherently evil" so that he can win a boring bet.
And thus, we see Yellowbrow continue to engineer series of events that might make the villagers finally succumb to their greed; he even did this to the extend that he was practically brainwashing and controlling one of the villagers to start the ravage (at 2:14 we can clearly see some sort of unknown force was dragging that guy out, and he also seemed to have lost his sanity as well), and that at that point, he finally "won".
Hence, we see Jinchanzi later said (in Chinese) that what Yellowbrow did was "nothing but inverting the role of cause and effect(倒果为因)"(I get that in English subtitles, it was "you chose a means to an end, not to a proof", but I personally find this way of translating is better at conveying the meaning the writers intended"). Jinchanzi was pretty much saying, "bro, your whole proof works here is bullshit", but in a very polite way.
To put this whole animation in easier terms, here's what it looks like:
Jinchanzi: I see a well-made vase here.
Yellowbrow: Nah man, it's not.
Yellowbrow then proceeds to push the vase from the table off to ground, but the vase didn't break.
Later, Yellowbrow throw the vase off from the roof of a 10 story building, but the vase still didn't break.
Finally, Yellowbrow climbed to the top of the Empire State building and slammed the vase heavily down from there.
This time the vase finally broke.
Yellowbrow: See man? Told you it's not a well-made vase.
Jinchanzi: Whatever, douchebag. You win.

Here it comes
2:13
It is easy to think that you are always right if you only focus on what you want to see instead of analyzing the whole picture
Yellowbrow is an misanthrope. While he has a point about human greed, he is also the instigator. Ultimately the message is this: Be a benevolent being and one person will end up screwing everything up, but tricking people into do doing so makes you a part of the problem. In the end, either he or Jinchanzi end up winning the debate over human nature because while Yellowbrow is right, he is so for the wrong reasons.
Another thing is that during the carnage, there was people that tried to defend Yellowbrow and the tragedy of this was that their actions are ignored and forgotten which is another metaphor for human nature. The few that do good during injustices end up failing to make an effort or change, something that likely further fuels Yellowbrow's misanthropy.
This animation hits hard on so many levels and is a masterpiece.
All the interpretations I read so far in the comments are not entirely correct imp. You have to know Buddhism and watch the Chinese version of the animation to understand what the debate is all about.
Jinchanzi and the Yellow Brow had a debate about truth (karma in this case). Buddhism teaches that if people do good, they will get good karma and be rewarded for it: wealth, health and ultimately salvation (becoming a buddha), because it teaches that good is our true heart. So we do good not just because of the reward, but because doing good is our true nature, the nature of Buddha that everyone posesses.
But Yellow Brow's point is that all people care about is the reward of the karma. As long as he gives people wealth and a good material life, people will eventually abandon buddhist teaching. So he became a monster and gave people in this village wealth. At the beginning, people were grateful and worshipped him as a Buddha. But later people found out that by killing the monster (aka breaking buddhist law), they could get more money. So someone did it and other followed, which proves Yellow Brow's point: All people care about is reward, and people search truth and do good because of the reward, not because they follow their true heart.
So he founded his own temple and claimed himself Buddha and taught his monks that the ultimate truth is happiness and there is no other law. As long as you have fun, just do it. Even saying a prayer, a sutra is nothing noble, because it is only for your own pleasure in heaven and has selfish purposes. So it is pointless to follow any truth, because in the end what everyone worships is happiness. If you play this chapter in the game, he will tempt you and try to convince you that you don't really need to follow the law to achieve happiness: Killing can be pleasurable, too. And if the heaven kills, why can't we do the same?
Jinchanzi told him that he is pathetic for corrupting the hearts of people and confusing the means and the ends just for winning a debate. One follows the truth ultimately because the truth is in his heart, not because of the reward. The truth has its own sake and only the truth can bring true happiness (the ends).
So would be accurate to say he rigged the situation to ultimately try and prove himself right?
@@Spino-hx2mr Yes. He used temptation to prove himself right, that most people only care about pleasure and don't really follow their heart. That's why Jinchanzi said he is pathetic.
The story is basically the story in the book of Job in the Bible, the devil in the book of Job has the same intention because he didn't believe that Job really cared about God, so he said if he makes Job's life miserable then he would abandon God at once. But in the rare case of Job the devil lost because Job is indeed a pious man even if in the time of suffering. But not everyone is Job, so for most people Yellow Brow (the devil) is correct. Most people will abandon his conscience when being tempted.
@@Spino-hx2mr Yes, that interpretation would be in the correct spectrum. Yellow Brow is essentially claiming an animal is aggressive by nature and then attacking it to prove it. In the animation, you can see how the tornado, while bringing material wealth like seafood also destroy their fishing boat causing the village infrastructure to collapse. If you looked closely, you can also see how he bewitched the man that started the whole wealth plundering. He is essentially falsifying research data for his thesis. He wanted to prove that human nature is essentially evil, yet the only thing we can observed is that the people were nurtured to be evil by him. Whether he was right or not doesn’t matter anymore, his claim is nonsense because of his action, which is the song is called “Nonsense”.
Isn’t it more like Yellowbrow thinks humans are lesser cause they can’t help but follow gratification so hence that’s what they ought to do? That’s the meaning of their life, the endless cycle brought by it

佛教认为过多的贪婪会带来烦恼。吃饱喝足就足够维持人的思想了,再多的享受就会使人产生更多的欲望,但是又不能通过某种手段满足,这就带来了烦恼。因此真正严格的佛教徒,不收取金钱,不食用享受性质的食物,如肉食,香料等,只吃自己生产的粮食,而不与他人争抢和交易。他们希望通过思考和阅读获得内心的平静和快乐。

The softshell turtle is yellow brow, the story is he brought disaster to the village just to prove his point that all humans are greedy and born evil. But he was pointed out by Wukong’s master that he mistook means to ends.
The Chinese name of the song is literally "Fart",which is a vulgar way to say "Nonsense" in Chinese, like "bullshit".
And here's my translation of the lyrics, I tried my best to translate the lyrics with traditional Chinese ideologies:
Heaven and hell, same in every world,
Do not pursue, seek no salvation,
In the darkest night, the very moment of this time,
Righteous and injustice, black and white,all distorted,
All sentient beings,
Love and hate, greed and anger, life and death, all is intertwined, and never forgotten,
The essence of life, is the essence of human desires.
This has always been a controversial view among Buddhists: Is it to save all living beings from endless desires, or to embrace them? Yellow Brow's view is obviously the latter. He's not "evil" or "wrong", he is "the alternate choice".
The lyrics of this song are the best interpretation of Yellow Brow's ultimate belief. Once you understand this song, you understand Yellow Brow's motivation.
Man this game is deep like fuck!
He is not just a turtle he is also a elephant. There is actually so much lore in this one animation alone it's crazy. Each frame has so sort of meaning to it starting from the falling from the sky to the very end. It's the best form of art in my opinion.

When human greed took over. How real is in the real world
Even if we don't like it, there is a valid point on YellowBrow and that is how easy it was for him to manipulate humans into becoming greedy, dependent and eventually "evil".
A tenant in Buddhism is recognizing that we humans are in a cycle. We can break free from that cycle through a path (The 4 truths of Buddhism), but said path is not an easy path and even Jinchanzi knows this because otherwise every human would achieve Buddhahood but that's not the case, cultivation is not easy but giving yourself into your impulses and instincts is easy.
some one help them, and they want more and more , ended in disaster. this lesson mean we need to control ourself.

What happened to that village and the people after the turtle was killed ! Why are there gold in the sand when they were having a discussion at the end ?
Jinchanzi also got ability of turning sand into gold, but he's not using that to stimulate greed.
They already have a bit of a supernatural ability to turn stone into gold, and it is not difficult for them to do it
It means that the supernatural person can create wealth at any time to seduce people's greed

It’s not about greed. The turtle manipulated the village to be killed, only to prove a point. But since he cheated, the monk doesn’t agree
We seriously didn't need that close up of the turtle eating a squid
The gold-colored fluid is blood. That must have been messy to show...
There is something else to this animation.
Look, if the turtle was willing to give a lot to make a poor village rich,
how could there still be seemingly poor ppl?
The turtle gives everything the village could hope for: wealth, food, medicine, etc. But with it, he also takes away the people’s ability to produce. He should have taught them how to better catch fish or other productive activities that the people can hold onto.
Instead, what he created is a cycle of dependency. People don’t do work anymore, only beg him for pearls. Only when he cuts himself, pearls will come out of his wounds. He makes small cuts, then his army of bureaucrats and temple attendants weigh the pearls to give to the poor supplicants. But once people realized that he controls how the pearls are made, that they could be richer if they made bigger cuts, that cycle of dependency was broken. Even his guards turned on him. But in the end, he’s dying and the villagers go back being poor.

This can also be a fable about environmentalism. Don't destroy the land that feeds you and gives you profitable harvests as you search for quick profits, because you will lose everything in the end.
Tell that to the companies responsible for the continuous ruination of our planet’s environment and resources
don't get corrupted a giant turtle that causes you to stab it...
The giant turtle is the one who deliberately turning the villagers evil.
@@bazo8478 That's not exactly true. Because the crux of the fable is comparing human nature's inner innate greed/short-sightedness versus external influencers, and it's not settled definitively which one caused the outcome here.
There is well-known saying in the scientific community regarding the "nature vs nurture" psychology debate: _Nature loads the gun, but the environment pulls the trigger_
@@beyondfossil The Giant turtle was debating about human nature is good or evil with the Monk who shown in the end of animation. To prove his point, he come to the village and deliberately create a situation which pushing the villagers to become greedy and commit evil.
He give everything to the villagers but never actually teach them self-sustain and humility. Making them fully reliant on him. It was shown when he create a water vortex to give the villagers fish but also destroying their ships in the process. He keep showing his miracle more and more to push the villagers to be greedy.
That is why the Monk said to him that he chose a means to end, not a proof. Because he deliberately sow chaos in the villagers heart and how absurd and pathetic he is.
He want to prove that human is greedy in nature, by deliberately turning them to be greedy.
This animation remind me so much of record of Ragnarok there are a god that also help humanity by absorbing negativity from human(pain, disease, emotion) and travelled place to place in the future he come back to the place and the place is ruined even though he already absorb every negativity from that place later buddha show up and start teaching people how to find happiness on their own
Nah,this just shows people always go for the easy way and whats in front of you.
I think that everything would have ended differently if they have had much more guards and not with sticks . but yeah ,great story and the energy it keeps

It’s the Chinese version of the goose and golden egg in some form. The farmer not satisfied wit the Goose laying eggs weekly, decides to gut the goose and finds only entrails, becomes destitute and loses everything.
Yellow brow of course is a realist and proved once again humanity cannot be redeemed.
So the human nature is evil or not?
@@Hak-yv8bi Absolutely evil
@@BaneClandestine but counter point, yellow brow was basically making them reliant on him, and didn’t try to teach them or guide his followers. He himself was gluttonous, devouring all the fish in a grotesque manner.
In this animatic, you can even see the collar of the greedy man being pulled by an invisible force, which is yellow brow bewitching the man into attacking him.

I think that in trying to show that humans have flaws, this deity showed its own flaws. Humans are mean, yes, especially if you put them in situations that make them so. But putting humans in those situations is a meanness unbecoming of a god who considers himself superior to humans. It's even worse, because if it's the nature of humans to be mean and they can't help it, then the god is supposed to be able to choose not to be mean, and yet he behaves meanly.
Yeah... Now i understand why eldritch horrors hates humans
