@@Rockymann27 Sun was septillion times faster than Herc’s one way to put him down, they were also even in strength, and Sun was not only like thousands of times more immortal than Hercules, but more versatile in terms of powers as well.
One of the most underrated Death Battle fights imo. And it showed me just how busted mythological characters are, I hope to see more fights like these in the future.
I think the reason this one isn't as popular is it's not close. Heracles is a demigod with some great feats for a human, while Sun Wukong is a reality-altering immortal God. Heracles' best feats revolve around not dying despite being half-mortal, Sun Wukong routinely battles other Gods and wins.
@@Incidion true. But, it's also not the first time Death Battle made a matchup where one character has better feats than the other, like James Bond vs John Wick for example. Or Dan Hibiki vs Hercule. And who can forget Omni-Man vs Homelander.
Also... Goku from Dragon Ball was originally Sun Wukong with a comedy twist (not to mention that "Son Goku" IS Sun Wukong's name in Japan, hence that one joke in DBZA where Trunks accidentally calls him that). So... Makes sense they'd be similar. ^_^b
Sun Wukong is one of the most broken mythological characters ever. He was already outside of all known classification midway during his journey, then he became a Buddha at the end. A Buddha with extensive mastery of Daoist magic. I could see him struggling with some Hindu deities though, like Kali or Shiva.
@@Glis54 Only 5, and at least one of them is better described as "agelessness" as it does nothing about being hurt or killed by violence, and another would stop him actually dying but wouldn't do anything about him being hurt.
The thumbnail is accurate to this battle. Especially considering the insane stuff Sun can do both in mythology, and the newly released game. Disney VS Black Myth: Wukong
One fun angle about Heracles and Sun Waking fighting is that they've both got a connection to Buddhism (Sun Wukong helps Xuan Zang fetches scripture from the Buddha, and Heracles is depicted as the Buddha's protector in certain Indo-Greek steles).
Honestly a real life interaction would probably end with Sun Wukong stopping the fight midway through and offer a deal with Hercules. Apple for joining his army.
There’s no way Tripitaka didn’t recite the migraine spell on Wukong as punishment after this whole ordeal, since he literally took a life over an apple. (Edit: yes I know he’s technically mugging him but Tripitaka would still punish him. Tripitaka punished him after he killed some bandits in the original story.)
Eh, during the journey to the west, Wukong killed a LOT of demons. And at one point, Tripitaka learned he shouldn't force Monkey to change. Just help guide him. So he would likely be pretty upset, but not resort to something like that.
@@lazerwolf952 all those demons threatened Tripitaka’s life in some way so those killings were justified. Being asked to give someone else an apple and choosing to kill them over it instead, is not.
@@WomanSlayer69420 First of, that was not Asking, that was Demanding. Secondly, Hercules was the first to reach for his weapon, this kill was completely justified.
@@ForemostCrab7 The issue is that in Buddhist religion, it is wrong to just crush your foes when they pose no threat to your life. Wukong’s body is practically indestructible, so anyone threatening him really is no threat at all. That sword might as well be a back scratcher. Like this wasn’t a fight. Wukong quite literally bullied Heracles here. It’ll be more understandable if Heracles threatened the life of his master in his dialogue as well.
@@WomanSlayer69420 So do you ask people by saying "Hey I'm in need of that item you have, hand it over" and when they say no you draw a weapon and tell them to go find the same item somewhere else?

Sun wukong inspired a lot of things, the original DB, luffy from one piece and a little of naruto. In fact, son goku is just the japanese form of say sun wukong
He inspired goku as a whole. Sun wukong. Sun Wukong, when translated to japanese means son goku. Sun wukong = son goku. Its crazy. Gokus basically just a nerfed version of wukong
That actually would be kinda interesting! Odin is a wiser, more philosophical god while Zeus appears more powerful, yet selfish and self-serving. Who would win? Brains or Brawn? 😅

@@thehermit8723 Are you quoting Marvel or mythology when you make that "analysis"? I go with historical mythology myself as opposed to MCU writers room.
@@steadholderharrington9035 Well to be fair, Zeus has the power to strip away your godhood and make a god become mortal in Greek mythology. While I'm not certain this would 100% work on Odin, Odin doesn't exactly have any mean to strip Zeus power, as far as I know. Unless Odin can somehow manipulate Zeus's mind and force him to surrender, I doubt Odin can win here.
@@markconstance186 Well, to be fair as you say, Zeus' best feat according to historical accounts, is defeating a mountain-sized monster, while Odin's best feat is defeating a monster as big as nine worlds. Odin outclasses Zeus in intelligence, versatility, strength, and weapons. An interesting side note, Zeus was apparently big into incest, as he married his own sister Hera, to father off his two sons Ares (the god of War), and Hephaestus (the god of the Forge), and two daughters, Hebe (goddess of Youth) and LLithyria (goddess of Birth). Whereas Odin had multiple wives, none of them were related to him by blood. He fathered off Baldur (the god of Light and Radiance, Joy and Purity, Peace and Forgiveness), Hermod (Messenger of the gods), and Hodur (the god of Night and Darkness), as well as Thor (god of Thunder) with the Giantess Jord. He also fathered off the gods Heimdall (the Shining Watchman of the gods and the whitest-skinned of the gods; which, if you've watched anything of the MCU Thor movies, you'll find That factoid a little strange), Vidar (the vengeful god of Justice), and Vali (the god of Vengence).
I’ve been waiting for this game to come out. Gameplay looks awesome, as well as the visuals. Monkey King is quite the unique mythological character, and playing as him would be a thrill.
Between his feats and being immortal numerous times over? He has the strength, the intelligence AND endurance to outlast most beings. Tripitaka was a training weight for Discipline more than his strength because, escort mission
This was among one of the best Death Battles ever, they should definitely make more Mythology battles next time Though my only real complaint here was at 2:59, their ascended selves were too bright I couldn't see what Herc looked like as he was struck by Wukong's staff
Seeing the traditional ink painting style of the background makes me hopeful of a death battle with Okami's Ameterasu. Absolutely beautiful design choice
I haven't seen the final outcome yet but Wukong is essentially a Looney Tunes character that can bend reality and break the 4th wall. Hercules with all his might won't overcome this type of character. It's not about logical metrics and criteria for winning or losing here. Wukong needs to fight someone like the Mask, Deadpool or Genie. Now that will be a fight I'd like to see.

I have no horse in the race of Buddhism and DB but I can see why people would have strong feelings about it. I feel like the narrator is a cool but overplayed idea, but they made a great battle out of such an uneven matchup and I respect it
Honestly I think the only Wukong VS Non-Chinese God matchup that would be both thematically fitting (as both are well known shape shifters) and not result in Wukong pubstomping his opponent would be Wukong vs Nyarlathotep.

You mean Nico from Runaways and Magik sister of Colossus? They're both Marvel...
@@BaronSengir1008they said Niko Robin. As in from one piece.
@@lazerwolf952 That's why I asked...
Awesome episode the animation for this show is awesome 💪💪💪👑
Wukong can beat ANYONE besides Buddha himself.
What about a magic headband
Man i remember those episodes of Wukong trolling his enemies, great times and still is
This is one of the best literature death battles so far! Disappointing how many people overlooked this cause it’s not their favorite inserted fictional character here.
We need the analysis and commentary from wiz and broomstick. My favorite part of death battle!
One of your better animations, Lots of passion in this one
I have no horse in the race of Buddhism and DB but I can see why people would have strong feelings about it.
I feel like the narrator is a cool but overplayed idea, but they made a great battle out of such an uneven matchup and I respect it
Sun Wukong defeated Taishang Laojun. In the novel Journey to the West, Taishang Laojun created an uncountable infinite number of universes.
Ya know, the narrator saying what's happening, kinda does sound like A Hero's Journey.
That hercules punch would have blown Goku's head off lol
Goku🤜🏻🧡 vs sailor Moon 🌙🧚🏻♀️

Ancient myths stories are just ancient comic books. Change my mind.
When you put it like that...
Hercules?!.......you paired him..... with Hercules?!? That's like putting a Chihuahua Vs a Toyota Corolla
Honestly I think the only Wukong VS Non-Chinese God matchup that would be both thematically fitting (as both are well known shape shifters) and not result in Wukong pubstomping his opponent would be Wukong vs Nyarlathotep.
