A fun fact not many people seem to realize: Sun Wukong is actually *not* the main character. Only serving that role for the first few chapters. He actually spends most of the story *saving* the main character.
Wait so who's the main character then?
@@Ghostguy693 Tang Sanzang the monk that Sun Wukong travels with. However Tang Sanzang gets kidnapped *a lot* so Sun Wukong or his companions such as a water demon, a pig demon, or a shapeshifting dragon commonly used as Tang Sanzang‘s horse has to rescue him, most of the time by Sun Wukong.
He might not be the main character, but his story, powers, and antics easily make him the favorite for a lot of people. Also good inspiration for a lot of Japanese heroes apparently.
@@Speeddemon105 a good modern example would be Jack sparrow in pirates of the caribbean
@@calebgoodman3028 Well, Wukong is the main character to me; I don’t think the Tang Monk would be that interesting of a character if Wukong wasn’t rescued and given a chance to redeem himself. I say people view Wukong as the main character, because he has the most focus; kinda like how Dr. Slump has Senbei Norimaki (the title character) being a main character, but his android child, Arale Norimaki, is the real main character because she is used more.
Narrator: Sun Wukong emerged victorious!
"Really?"
*Heracles gets vaporized*
"Really?"
*Ten seconds later, our reactor finally rose her hands in victory. In spite of her second-guessing herself, she had chosen... wisely.*
Hercules: I use the Olympian Gods to help me cheat, but now I am dead.
Sun Wukong: I cheat by myself, and even I don't end up dead.
Thank you, Narrator.
19:09. “You’re being dramatic”.
In the book. Wukong has sensitive hearing. And is weak to high frequencies.
This is one of three things that can completely stop Wukong in his tracks.
The other two being Poison and True Fire.
(True Fire is a Buddhist flame. It’s a lot to talk about. But basically. It can kill anyone. No matter how Immortal you are.)
Hmm, I see. Now I know where other Japanese and Korean fictional true fire comes from.
Wait, I thought it was smoke he was weak to
@@King_Nex smoke is more like late-developed weakness if attacking the eyes directly
@@bsaarob7950 Right, because of his time in the chamber of 8 elements
“Agony, Agony!” Wukong, can you tone down the Bugs Bunny dramatics?
It's kinda cool that Wukong inspired some of the biggest names in anime, and is still stronger than all of them
Hercules inspired a lot of Super Heroes and Action Stars.
@@dpolaristar4634 Well, yeah. He also did. Some might even say Superman is inspired by him
this is the most controversial line i heard all say
@@antonbabaran7621 Oh come on. How is Goku beating someone with multiple layers of immortality, and is strong enough to lift the heavens? Have you seen the video?
@@Anto_85571 im just saying what you said is controversial nothing else
Boomstick: "Okay we got a headstrong goofball, who quickly mastered new powers and wants a fancy title; this is just Shonen anime"
Yep
Boomstick: "Let's answer the real question: can he beat Goku?"
Wiz: "Uh, maybe"
Well if you really think about it
Sun Wukong is Goku's ancestral great grandfather.....in a sense
And a thousand angery weboos fell apon wiz in a fury not seen since Thor crushed Vegeta.
Sun Wukong is so ridiculously stronger than Goku they can't even be compared.
Everyone beats
@@jtherealmccoy5309 Pretty much. Imagine if He appear in Dragon Ball Super.
Yeah, Hercules may be a god of strength but Sun Wukong is on a whole new level of OP bullshit
I honestly didn't know Wukong was that ridiculous. I mean I know he was crazy but not like destroy Universes or jumping out of it in a instant etc fighting a being that is beyond life and death damn he just insane.
he beats up directions for fun
"Monke always emerges victorious."
-Sun Tzu, Art of War
I’m not sure Master Tzu ever said that.
@@multiverse_media2023 It’s a joke. Can you not tell from the meme spelling?
@@robbiewalker2831
Honestly, I see no difference. 😅😅
If you’re interested in learning more on mythology, I recommend Overly Sarcastic Productions’ videos. They’re little animated/illustrated versions of different myths from Greece, Rome, China, Japan, Norse, and even one or two from North America.
Would be fun to see her reaction to the story of "Journey to the West." Still ongoing due to how long it is, but it is fun to watch the narroration alongside with the drawings done for it.
Sweet plug
(*Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias voice*)
*!!!OH MY GOD, YES!!!*
*(*goofy laughing*)*
Good stuff love that channel!
I can back up GLArts on this.
Heavens equal is quite literally an accurate title for him, since he can fight the entire heaven by himself, and any heaven at that, probably could fought the whole of Olympus and still win,
"You're being dramatic." Uh, yeah. Have you met Sun Wukong? He is drama.
I hope this means we can see more mythological battles in the future. Odin vs Zeus would be so cool.
Now I want to see Sun Wukong vs Goku. And Thor vs Godzilla.
I think Marvel has done that already if I'm not mistaken.
Battle of all father's..... arogant male w&$#e vs arogant teacher
@@jjohnson6382 That's kinda unfair. Wukong is leagues stronger than Goku, and has 7 forms of immortality. It'd be a harder stomp than Goku vs Superman.
zeus is getting the dub, norse gods still age and die
"You're being dramatic"
Yeah, cuz having your eardrums exploding is very plesent
I have to say this Death Battle is quite informative, especially with some info we don't know about the two mythical icons.
sun wukong is not part of a mythology its a book
@@Himmyjewett 🤡
@@Himmyjewett hes a part of Buddhism
@@whyareyoureadingthissmh actually it's just a novel that puts together three big religions in the east, journey to the west is basically the first big action adventure novel and it was written in 1500 ad with it being based off a actually historical event in 600 ad
@@Himmyjewett what was the actual journey to the west like back in the 600 AD
Do you know what's scary? The art of 72 transformations wukong can do doesn't give him 72 transformations, it gives him the ability of BOUNDLESS transformation. He can turn into ANYTHING except anything omnipotent, this includes a version of himself as powerful as any opponent he is fighting, yea... Sun wukong is broken. And the 72 things? The 72 represents the number of extra lives the ability gives. On top of all his layers of immortality, you have to somehow kill the monkey 72 times before he croaks. And he can multiply with each clone also being able to transform the same way.
TLDR: sun wukong is the embodiment of a BROKEN character.
True, don't forget he can't transform to anything, and I mean anything known as omniscient, omnipotent being, like the Buddha for example.
@@ChaolaoFueChi yes
@@ChaolaoFueChi but when the only limit is becoming the most powerful possible thing then that's not that big a limit
'A version of himself as powerful as any opponent' is blatant bullshit that never appears in the story. He's OP enough without you making stuff up.
Got to love how they left out all of the incest in Heracles’s story.
Zeus is the great grandfather to his mom.
His most popular gay lover is his nephew who was the one that suggested cauterizing the Hydra. (Heracles was bi.)
And his fourth wife is his sister and also the daughter to his archenemy Hera.
Also the king he worked for was his cousin. Not incest but just goes to show how much family drama he goes through.
They have to keep it relatively safe.
@@datkhornedog899 *Relatively* safe. I see what you did there.
No wonder Kratos wanted to kill Zeus. The guy is a "PHI-LAN-THERAPIST". I mean, a FULL ON RAPIST. 😅
@@calebgoodman3028 I recall Glove and Boots poking fun at it. ua-cam.com/video/u7qL8zgIN-k/v-deo.html
A narration for a legendary battle of mythical beings seems fitting.
Guess you could say the Hero went back to Zero.
God Dangit, Boomstick
Oof, feel that Disney? That’s a huge burn.
@@multiverse_media2023 you could say it burned harder than the Sun
@@MattSayYay
Nice.
Amber: Did you just pull that out of your ear you nasty?
Me: Well yeah that is how Sun Wukong keeps his staff at he first shrinks it then he puts it in his ear if he wants to use it he pulls it out of his ear and turns it back to it's normal size. what I just said is true.
No, he keeps it tucked BEHIND his ear.
@@marmyeater oh right my mistake thanks :)
@@ExAid21 👍
My money is on Monkey. He basically has cartoon physics and cant die. Plus he's fxxxing awesome. I killed Hercules in God of War 3 and he went out like a bxxxx
Top 5 Death Battle ever in my view. Wow. What a battle
Indeed.
18:12- Sun Wukong keeps his over 17,000 pound staff tucked behind his ear.
I hope we get more Mythological Death battles
Maybe we might get Japanese vs Roman god battle next.
If we do, I think Susanoo vs Oya would be pretty cool.
"Great Sage Equal to Heaven" damn what a title "Victorious Fighting Buddha" I swear whats next Great Buddha equal to everything?
The Monkey King/God is ridiculous.
That’s Sun in a nutshell
They overestimated the Hydra blood and bells. Herc never had a chance.
In all fairness, this battle was a complete stomp. Wukong outclasses Herc in every way.
The reason so many things you know from RWBY is in this is cause sun from RWBY is meant to be the monkey king from journey to the west the Chinese myth
Sun wukong is my favorite myth ever.
did you know that Ruyi Jingu Bang can fight it own and yes, Wukong stored his staff in his ear.
Huh, Chinese Mythology sure goes into wild places, huh?
Definitely
23:25 technically the predator is just a hunter hunting Hunan’s and having trophies and doesn’t get paid they just do it for the hunt
16:33 She set herself up for pain on that one.
LOL.
I understand Wu Kong more than Hercules
+ 13:32
Fun fact : an antagonist from the Dr Strange movie
Not bad for their first full-mythological fight. Also I’m pretty sure they used RWBY Sun’s VA for Wukong in this fight. I mean, it’d be so obvious.
OMG, you’re right! That is Sun’s voice.
No they didn’t. Alex Mai voiced Sun here not Micheal jones
@@sugarrayrags4320 Yeah, I found out shortly after, but can you blame me for thinking it in the first place? The impression is pretty spot-on.
"History was never my best subject"
Me: Me too kid, Me too
This was a good video It was interesting to see two Mythical Figures fighting instead of Fictional characters and as for the next Battle while Boba Fett Is a Bounty Hunter The predators are Game Hunters who Kill for Sport and Trophy while Boba does it for Money so it’s actually the battle of Space Hunters.
Again: my whole life’s a lie. Lol.
@@FreelancerAmber Here’s some interesting info: Wukong was not allowed to harm humans during his pilgrimage with the Tang Monk, because it was considered wrong. However, since Hercules apppeared human, but technically isn’t human (being the bastard child of a womanizing deity), Wukong wouldn’t have an issue with attacking Hercules.
Wukong wasn’t MONKING around
When I saw the last DB episode, I was convinced it would be Sun for RWBY. But maybe someday he get a DB after Rubys DB.
The RWBY character is Sub Wukon, not Wukong.
And Monkey King/Sun Wukong Is Also From Lego Monkie Kid.
@@TheZero1312 No its Wukong, they just did a typo in the credits of his debut episode
Ah yes
RWBY character vs Mythological legend Heracles
I... Definitely see the similarities
@@Destinedhellfire Really? I didn't know that.
So because of this episode, Cthulhu is now a valid death battle fight.
Always has been. 🔫
yeah, but who would be a good opponent? he's pretty unique outside of Lovecraft
This episode was on my birthday! It was the best gift I ever got in!
Happy Late Birthday 🥳
3:14 Puns. Never change, Boomstick.
8:41 Monkey King face. XD
9:02 Sun Wukong
9:50 Sun Wukong doing a copy the opponent before Ditto is created. LOL
13:30 Yeah, doesn't work for Boomstick.
Sun Wukong is that OP character you tried to ban at tournaments. But, somehow gets back in the game.
Ironic the Saiyans are not based off the Monkey King. They also get stronger by always learning and training new abilities or techniques to overcome obstacles through every battle or situations.
Technically they are base since goku was imspired by sunwukong in dragon ball goku fly in a cloud his main weapond is a staff that change size and he is more of a trickster fighter than pure stregth and since he was the base for the saiyans well they are at least some relate
@@eagless7778 Oh, right. My bad.
Thank you for the reminder.
Also, it's funny the same voice actor who played as Goku and currently voicing Monkey King in Monkie Kid. XD
@@justinsarcedo9355 Honestly that felt very fitting in an ironic sense.
@@cyberdragoon1432 it is, dude.
Ironic sense indeed.
Journey to the West is like a dnd campaign set in mythical ancient China
A neat take on Death Battle, since actual myths and legends are kind of unconfirmable and exaggerated because... you know... myths with origins thousands of years ago. Feats back then were based on beliefs back then, so Hercules 'shooting the sun' wasn't a distance as modern astronomy knows it, but as they 'understood' it then. It would still be fast AF, but not to the 90x faster then light. But that bit of bias is kind of expected with DB in applying factor X outside of the scenarios. Still a fun match with the next being the man (or sentient) hunters.
It was certainly cool, though I do wonder of what the Greeks believed to be the true distance their world and the sun.
To be fair, the Predators aren't simple bounty hunters.
But Boba Fett had more experience due to fighting Clones, Jedi, Sith, Bounty Hunters, Smugglers, Disney retcons, and even Samuel L. Jackson.
KUDO's AMBER !! congrats!😀 , also i hope your hand is ok, and i like the orang screen you put up , before starting the DB vid .
Basically Sun Wukong is an OP Japanese Loki.
This was like The Flash vs Quicksilver, like the The Flash, Sun Wukong how an easy win
Then, Heracles fights Goku to see if he can beat him.
If he can't beat Wukong he ain't beating Goku.
@@jjohnson6382 well to be fair, herc has literally lifted infinity, so he's definitely stronger than goku, but goku wins in basically every other category i can think of. Though wukong would probably kick goku's ass.
I love the green screen background
"History was never my best subject" - well that's OK, because this is mythology, not history.
Wukong didn't pull the staff out of his ear, he pulled it from BEHIND his ear. he usually carried it there, shrunk to the size of a needle, when he didn't need it.
I am having good streak wins, I only lost one time so far this season
I was right Sun Wukong won
Same.
@@jjohnson6382 I didn’t know Sun Wukong had strength equal to Hercules though honestly thought Hercules was stronger but I did think that Sun Wukong immortality and plethora of abilities would give him the win
Milky Way bars are alright. Nothing I'd go crazy for.
I mean... considering Goku is based on and even has the *same name* as Sun Wukong’s Japanese name it should be obvious Wukong would win, or if not at least a tie.
@Freelancer Amber, actually Amber, Sun Wukong actually shrinks his staff down to the size of a pencil and has it rest like a pencil behind your ear.
I should point out that Heracles was murdered by his third wife as punishment for being unfaithful.
Awesome reaction Amber. And I loved this fight. And I'm hyped for Boba Fett vs. The Predator.
The Pokémon, Infernape is also inspired by Sun Wukong.
Hercules is the ROMAN name. Heracles is the Greek name.
please react to OSP's journey to the west, it's basically a refresher on Monkey King
Winning streak? More like lucky streak. It always runs out. Just wait.
New background and set up nice
1:32 THAT'S LITERALLY ME XD
Hello so great to be here 💖
Beautiful
First time with actually Mythical people. She confirms Chuck Norris vs Segata Sanshiro was real and legit.
That’s a new setup for you
Minor correction. Hercules is the *Roman* name. Not Greek. Heracles is in fact the correct Greek name.
Wow, that's new.😯
I want an ashura match up
Hi Freelancer Amber, I don't know but you've already released the first 3 episodes of RWBY Ice Queendom, and when are you going to make a reaction video of this anime?
I've seen it. And we still don't know if we have the green light when it comes to reactions. Since this is made from a Japanese animation studio, the copyrights will be more restrictive than what we were allowed with Rooster Teeth. So until then, I'm not gonna post it.
The monkey king is immortal
MY BOY MONKEEE :3
GO BOBA FETT
Well done Amber, you are sooo prettty ^^
I hope your ready for the battle of hunters cause it's going to be good. letting you know it looks like a close fight for one to win or the other cause we a getting fights like this lately. As we all know cause fights can go either way like a slight close of victory. As I said hope your ready to cheer or cry in the end and also to react cause I like the look of others to see how they are shock. be ready and I'll be waiting for you to watch it. bye till now.
No Sun keeps the staff behind his ear not in it.
Glad you won.... even i had hard time but glad i pick mk.....1 he is equally strong and more faster and versitile....2 mk is just more lovable...both are arogant but mk makes me laugh....as for next fight...most likely battle of hunters using advance tools
Boba fett vs predator came out
Predators probably got that one
heracless would beat about 98% of mythologies, it sure make him seem invincible but there a few who would beat him.. sun wu kong is one of them, and maybe the strongest of them.
It’s Herc-U-Les not Hera-Cles
A rock beats The Rock.
3rd time the fett is back and ready to become the king
He faced Master Chief right? In a VERY old episode?
@@FreelancerAmber I believed he faced him in dbx.
@@FreelancerAmber Samus. Two times.
22:51 did she not notice the pun Boomstick make or did she just not care
Edit Boomstick made
autocorrect is useless 90 percent and actually useful 10 percent of the time
It does it’s job when I don’t want it to and doesn’t work when I don’t want it to
f&$k your autocorrect
When I do
how does do get autocorrected with don’t
Probably both.
Good jod!
...job
boba needs to win
He will win. This is the Way.
@@multiverse_media2023 Its Death Battle. Be carful with what you say.
@@multiverse_media2023 yep
Yo amber stop changing your answer when it comes who would win death battle
?
Correction Herakles is the Greek name Hercules is the Roman name and Hercules or Herakles is not even his real name the name he got and him before the goddess To protect listeners who wanted to kill him because he was the result of her husband's infidelity I don't mean the only result of Zeus well let's take it active love life but I mean let's most famous Greek Roman heroes and also a hero for the gays and by that I mean both men and women and no I don't say lesbians and gays because they're both the same thing then why should I be a use an extra word where even a single word is exact itself results in us achieved well it doesn't matter Heracles also slept with his nephews and yes it was completely normal for ancient Greece I refer to them by my Spartan history but apart from that the two also had a temple where same sex couples could go and yes This whole Gelbfried number is not a modern invention, it also existed in ancient times That's why I always find it funny when they talk about a breakthrough in connection with gay pride what a breakthrough because please someone the breakthrough people hundreds of years ago had thousands of years my god you are the right pioneers That's like saying we introduced the working sewage system, the Romans did that too, we brought hot water to the cities, animals too we founded the first fire brigade. Kaiser Nero has already done that after half the city burned down for which was not present he only appeared in Rum when his palace was in danger but he e.g. for fire safety and cared about after a fire by introducing minimum distances for houses and other regulations that I remember this no hero has not been his fault What I find very funny about Nero is that the Romans refer to him in the Bible as the beast with the number 666and that's funny the early christians could always portray that in their book as a devilish monster by the way you're not so sure if he also set the city on fire, personally I'm still betting on the Christians because even then people were preaching about the end of the world and I mean what better way to substantiate that than when one of the largest cities in the ancient world begins to become a focal point nothing and also the later Christians built St. Peter's Basilica and in its decoration of the domusaurier the golden house that Nero built and you can well and gladly called a kind of art center and park can be inspired what do you understand demonizing a man first and then being inspired by his buildings that's fine but yes I've been deviating from the topic for far too long now I just found it interesting
You Should Watch Lego Monkie Kid is Awesome.
I've heard about that, I just don't know where to find it.
@@FreelancerAmber Is At Amazon Prime.
@@FreelancerAmber But would recommend getting an understanding of Journey to the West, since it actually draws a lot from it which made it good.(shameless plug for Overly Sarcastic Productions’s summaries of the story, and yes summaries since the story is that robust to warrant many parts).
@@cyberdragoon1432 Which One?
Hercules & Sun Wukong are fictional characters like Batman, Goku, Steven Universe & Ruby Rose nothing new from what Death Battle usually does. They all need research and knowledge of the character’s lore
mythology vs pop culture though. the difference being mythology either was or at least is meant to be taken seriously, where as pop culture is meant to be taken as fiction
@@christophermonteith2774 really? I think it was taken serious in the past but now it become part of pop culture as well, well in my opinion
It's pronounced 'Her-cu-lees'
I like the battle but I disliked the narration anyone else

sun is the only good character in rwby
Nope kratos kill hercules
