I was hoping that Nine Head’s evil plans would be a continuation from the JTTW. In the novel he was married into an evil Dragon family, stole Li Jing’s Pagoda and somehow cause a kingdom to rain blood and passed the blame onto Buddhist monks and had them executed for it. The Dragons were slayed by Wukong and his companions and Nine Head was wounded by Erlang Shen and his dog but ran away. I feel like if LMK crew continued that subplot, and made him seek revenge for his family instead by going after not just Wukong’s loved ones but Erlang’s loved ones as well. Then Erlang Shen could have finally had his debut on this show.
@@bluebelt1235No bruv,I think you're mistaken cause there is a pagoda in the story,but it's where the Sarirā that he & his father-in-law stole.They did make a blood rain,but it's specifically at the Pagoda,which isn't Li Jing's but a Pagoda in Jisai's capital. Because of their act,the pagoda stopped having auspicious aura that attracts Buddhist pilgrims but the king of Jisai blamed the monks of the Pagoda instead cause he didn't know there are demons involved. Also I'm not sure about the whole Erlang Shen thing you mentioned,but in the 2012 revised edition I read,it's just Wukong & Pigsy who happened to notice Erlang Shen and his brothers (in a sense,I'm guessing,like how Wukong,Wujing and Bajie are brothers or like 'the brotherhood',correct me if I'm wrong cause I only know the Meishan brothers from adaptations I watched,I haven't read anything on them,I'm basically cross-referencing) passing by at the sky (they're on their way home from hunting) and they all fought the entirety of Nine Heads & the dragon Princess' family. Btw if anyone is curious about Wukong being shy towards Erlang Shen and asking Pigsy to talk for him,it happens in this arc & it's cause he's bested by Erlang Shen in the past.
@@duskbringer4583 Considering that he's a star deity (Revati/Wood Wolf Star of White Tiger Mansion),I wonder if every time Wukong went up to celestial realm they have an awkward reunion,or Wukong does vague threats/jokes about not trying to do anything weird lol
@@Dieciptosaurusflying bark (the original animators) were tied up with too many projects at the time. And rather than delaying S5 for too long, they switched studios.
@@MrDibaraYeah.Tbh what's unfortunate to me isn't exactly the studio change,but...well,I'm questioning "Couldn't they just find a studio with a similar style instead of a studio that isn't even an expert of 2D animation?"
My guess is he conspired with a deity (and has always been doing that for a while),with Gong Gong.I wonder if Nine Heads is really taking the place of Xiangliu by breaking the pillar of heaven,or he's just related to Xiangliu in the chinese dub (if someone gonna mention that the english dub is the original,yeah I know,but following the english dub explanation makes me scratch my head since there was alreazy a nine-headed serpent in S4,while this guy is a nine-headed fusion of various creatures as you can see in 6:49 )
Mercer doesn’t disappoint
@@andrecarpenter2432 Yeah right? He brings this character to live. He is the reason, why i love the Nine Headed Demon so much! Really awesome work!
"Who can it really bee???"
I love him sm
"...kind of creepy but anticlamactic yeah" I love him too!
Bro was the main villain and got less than an episode of screen time💀
He was on screen for maybe a minute before I was like "OMG he is so fantastic!" XD
Xiangliu being like Deadpool in the beginning of the video.
@@TempestGhost Right? I love his goofy entrance. I wish we saw more of this side of him

Wait hold on,thought he was just stealing the Sarira?

Hopefully, we someday see also return of Yellow Robe Demon, Kui Mulang. In original story, he was defeated by Son Wukong.
And 100 eyes. Seriously they have too much potential to be one time episode villains

@@claudius3359 I mean we know he is in Mortla Plane, question is if he survived his fight...
I knew before this season that I would love this guy💚
Sheesh...
He surpasses Aiden and he has the same level from Junko Enoshima.
Xiangliu's back story always reminds me of The Croods. Anyone else or just me? 😂😂😂
@@miragesangel9284 Hey me too!
I wonder if the Old Dragon King was the one he alluded to
IT'S HIM😨
l not gonna he one most badass villains so far change my mind
@@adamchin2010 I can't! He is amazing! I hope we see more of him!
XIANGLIU!!!!!
I was looking for this tyy 😭😁
Your the one who broke the stone and woke MK up early 4:19
Lmk makes their villains to attractive bro 🙀
@@c_neila I know right?
They're Legos
I believe it’s the voices tied with the immersive animation
@@VortexZero5 especially the voice!
@@creep9266 yes, yes especially the voice
What is the chaos????
So how do you think he brushes his hair?
@@genesismultiverse4896 no idea😆 Maby he waits till his hair are asleep or something
@@creep9266 probably
SMT 5 V ....
The character is amazing but i feel like they should've kepy the hood on 😭
@@Donita. I just hooe we see more of him in the future!
S5
Is the animation stiffer? Its not as good as before...
@@Dieciptosaurus yeah the season was animated by another Studio then the other seasons
@@creep9266 thats a real shame, wonder why
@@Dieciptosaurusflying bark (the original animators) were tied up with too many projects at the time. And rather than delaying S5 for too long, they switched studios.
@@GreenEyedPsycho Hope they come back someday. The new studio just... _I'm sorry, but they are just not on the same level._ *At all.*

But how did he get out the first time?🤔

Is it just me or did the animation kinda got different alittle.
@@timebreakerquibi6928 Yea the animation Studio changed...
@@creep9266 is it bad that i liked the old one more?-
is it me or the animation looks kinda.... Sluggish?
@@higunner Sadly yes. It's still good but not as good as in other seasons. I think the Nine Headed Demon got the best animations of the season
The bisexual in me is happy
