    Hey I'm sorry I got a little too excited and talked over some of the story stuff at the beginning. I was honestly really blown away by the look and feel of everything and I got carried away. I'm really loving the game and I've been so excited about it for so long that I guess I went a little too hard when I finally got to experience it.

      The biggest one is Julin-Shen the Tremendous Spirit, a giant vanguard of heaven's army, obeying general Li Jin, he was the first god to challenge wukong last time, but lost almost immediately.
      Wukong smashed Julin's weapon, but he escaped thanks to General Li's son, Nezha. General Li was so angry about Julin being a deserter, even wanted to have him executed, again Nezha saved him, persuaded his father to spare Julin because even him could not defeat Sun Wukong. In the end, only Erlang (Jade Emperor's nephew) can fight Wukong as equal.
      PS:
      Yang Jian, aka Erlang (meaning the second son of house Yang), the Jade Emperor's demigod nephew, has a goddess mother and a mortal father, with a magical third-eye (the Eye of Heaven), keeps a hound named Xiaotian (Sky Howler). He is usually described as a man of gentle and honor, strange for him to act like a dick in the game's intro.
      Li Nezha, third born of General Li Jin, known for slaying the dragon prince Ao Bin, son of king Ao Guang (who was robbed by Wukong, of the staff and the armor). Nezha appears as a young lad wearing crimson, wielding the Fire-Tip Spear, and can transform into three-head-six-arm.
      Wukong, Erlang, Nezha are known as the three troublemakers of Heaven. They listen, but they do not take commands. If the Court wants their service, say "please".

    he want go back to his mountain, live free, but somehow~ they wont let him~ thats why they sent the army to get him.
    To make sure Er Lang Shen can beat him, someone put his JINGU (the crown) back, to Limit him.

    Japanese kanji characters were borrowed from Chinese hanzi as a writing system. The two languages share some of the same characters, and the pronunciation of kanji in Japanese is based on ancient Chinese pronunciation.
    For example, the character name 孫悟空 is written the same in both Chinese and Japanese, but in Chinese, it is pronounced 'Sun Wukong,' while in Japanese, it is pronounced 'Son Goku.'

    The big guy at the back was Juling Shen, or Giant Spirit God, the giant river god of the Yellow River.
    In the original JttW, Juling Shen was the first guy the Heavenly Court sent to subdue Wukong. The subsequent no effort beating he took from Wukong was so embarrassing that the Heavenly Court almost had him executed.

    • @903IDFOLEY
      @903IDFOLEY 22 дня назад +4

      Also as you probably noticed later, the first fight is set after the end of the JttW. Having been trapped under a mountain for 500 years even before the start of the journey, Wukong was well over the "wanting to be a big shot" phase, as we see in the JttW during the few times Wukong was expelled from Sanzang's fellowship, he would simply return to Mount Huaguo to chill with his monkey subjects.

    You guys are amazing! After watching many RUclipsrs' gameplay videos, I astonishedly found that you have a thorough understanding of the novel itself. Although the game's story happens after the original one, it's deeply rooted in the Journey to the West.
    I hope the following information helps you:
    - As mentioned on the Wiki, the original novel is "at once a comic adventure story, a humorous satire of Chinese bureaucracy, a source of spiritual insight, and an extended allegory." So, besides the mythology, the story is more about reflecting on ancient Chinese political traditions and Buddhism.
    - Frankly, Wukong is also a Yaoguai, and he was the only one not initially connected to heaven (Master, Pig, Sand, and even the horse were all descended from either heaven or Linshan); that's why he was the protagonist of the novel and also the reason that he was the only one put on the golden band.
    - Erlang Shen is also a god with his own story; some weapons he used against Wukong were not described in the original novel but collected from his own mythology. Just want to mention that the huge axe was used to split the mountain to save his imprisoned mother (briefly mentioned in the Journey to the West in the introduction of Erlang Shen).
    Look forward to seeing more of your amazing plays!

    One thing about the immortality thing. Except for the time he canceled himself out of the book of death, every other type of immortality is just him extending his life. All the peaches and elixirs are just for extending life but is called immortality items in the translation

    I think the intro was after the journey of the west
    - my master safe, the scriptures sound
    - mentioned erlang shen as 2nd biggest boaster after the pig
    - wukong is already called as victorious fighting buddha
    And going by what’s going on in the myths wukong just chill after Buddhahood
    but game story now the heavenly court still distrust him so they send an army again and this time erlang shen cheats to win again by using the mantra to control the headband although I thought it’s supposed to be gone after journey to the west

    loop of binding is what some call it, In this we play as someone trying to bring wukong back. The intro is after the journey to the west that's the reason why he said "you talk more than the pig" as in some boss fights when you die you hear "you look like him but aren't him"

    I am honestly surprised how long it took you to catch onto this being set post-Journey to the West. I caught on at the scriptures line (master could have been referencing the teacher that taught him the 72 transformations) and the second Erlang called him a buddha/claimed to have beaten him once before, then it was pretty obvious.

    • @ZelinW
      @ZelinW 21 день назад +1

      There’s a mistake. Master refers to Tang Sanzang, whom Sun Wukong was tasked with protecting during the journey to the West. Master puti, who taught him his skills, is as powerful as the Buddha, and does not need Sun Wukong's protection.

    I think you missed that this game takes place after Son Goku😂 I mean Wukong has already finished his journey, that's why he's wearing the headpiece, and his composure and attitude towards immortality is different. He might have reached Buddhahood or is close to it.

    For anyone that might be curious: ​​⁠WuKong is a Buddhist Dharma name given to WuKong by his master. Wù (悟) means enlightenment or realization. Kōng (空) is a Buddhist concept (Śūnyatā in Sanskrit), it refers to the idea of emptiness or voidness if translated literally. However, it conveys the concept that all phenomena are empty of intrinsic existence and don’t exist independently or permanently, and everything is interconnected and interdependent. The name WuKong thus means the person(monkey) shall acquire the wisdom of understanding the true meaning of Kong or this interconnected state of himself and the universe he’s in. Hope this helps.

    FYI: Even though you’ve mistakenly said Journey to the East when you mentioned at 9:11 ….
    I don’t know if you guys know this but in fact (loosely speaking) there is another Chinese mythology about ‘Journey to the East’ as well and it’s called ‘Legend of the Eight Immortals’ and it’s also about Taoist deities within Chinese folklore.
    To be frank, I can’t recall who are the 8 main characters were but they were called 八仙 literally translates as 8 immortals/deities and Chinese even has an idiom that says 八仙过海各显神通 which is to sum up the so-called moral of the entire lore because individually, each of them have their weaknesses but as destiny has it, all 8 of them would eventually cross paths and travel as a group overcoming obstacles where they would’ve otherwise failed if they hadn’t came together, harnessed their respective unique abilities in order to pass each challenge they were faced with. Since y’all are all about Mythologies, be sure to look that one up as well!
