Nevertheless, this video is quite entertaining.

The game was made mostly for chinese people who grew up with extensive knowledge about journey to the west. But to sum it up, if anyone is bothered to read this. Sun Wukong is a mythical creature born from the rock left by one of the creators of human kind (mythology). Gets his power by training with a master (puti- daoism) and wants a place in the heavens as a god. But the heavens disrespects him and gives him a bad position (horse keeper) so then he defies the heavens and crossed his name out on death (he can legit never die unless he chooses to). Then he fights the entire heaven (yes the entire celestial army + jade emperor) and basically wins until buddha had to come and pretty much banish him and cage him under a mountain (5 finger mountain). He is appraoched 500 years later by tang seng (buddhism monk), given the so called "crown" that you see and goes on "the journey to the west" where him and 3 other yaoguai turned good had to protect their shifu from other yaoguai (81 challenges) to receive the buddhas teachings from the west. In the balck myth game, the game takes place after the original story where wukong has successfully completed the journey and was named fighting buddha. That same crown I talked about earlier enabled tang seng to recite a buddhist verse which caused wukong to be obedient and lose his powers. He thought theyd removed it but in which they havent and the same spell still works on him. In order to dismiss the control of the buddhas, he basically chose to die hence why erlang killed him but only pretended to fight him. The main character of black myth is a young monkey who takes on the challenge of trying to find all of wukong's 6 missing things and basically become him. Thats why in the cutscene erlang says that he cannot kill the monkey, only wukong and kill himself. By killing himself, he is able to avoid the so called spell by spliting himself into 6 pieces. With the final one (his will) in erlang's 3rd eye if you play the game thats what happens when u win against erlang. Anywho, the game makes you collect all 6 of his pieces to "ressurect him" but the bad ending ends when he gets the crown put on him, meaning he never escaped. But the "good" ending, the main character gets his memories back which just so happens to be wukongs memories, without the crown. Meaning that you've successfully brought the real wukong back and that he does not need to go back into reincarnation.
@@ljcuoxotco youre a monkey who is essentially a reincarnation of wukong but you are not wukong yet as you havent gathered his 6 parts which were scattered in the word. Hence why you fight the bosses
Nice, cool to note the Monkey king also went to the underworld and erased his name from the book of destiny, so yea hes immortal a couple times over. 😅
He was also thrown into hellfire, but since he was immortal, he just absorbed it and became immortal again and then also got the name, monkey with the golden fire eyes
@howsyourday4268 That allegory doesn't even exist in Japanese 💀 there is NO 'starting from the bottom of the barrel' saying in Japanese. Luffy's entrance was 100% a visual reference to Wukong's famous introduction of bursting out from the rock, same pose and all.
OnG as big of a DBZ fan as I am... (I don't like Goku tho 😂 never was a fan of any of the main good guys in anything from anime to comics)... Wukong would solo the entire anime universe with ease lol.
It's wild how I knew about Wukong a while into knowing about Goku, and liked them both, but never put it together til recently that they are basically the same character. Or at least Goku is inspired by Wukong. Both of them can be shown as playful and mischievous, even simple and silly.. but they also have their don't F with me sides. Both can basically turn into big monkeys, and they both just get stronger the more they fight. Goku is basically presented as the strongest being in the universe next to what would be the highest of high creators. Funny enough Goku also has a pig companion, and another companion who can't get enough of the ladies.

@@Briefed_Mythology Well it because that's a true story that a monk go to India from China at 7th century for true Buddhist scriptures. And the Emperor of China then was in this story too... Btw. there's no such a nation call India then, India is a geographic concept like Caribbean with dozen kingdoms there.
I'm playing Black Myth: Wukong now and I stumbled in this video. After watching, I realized that the setting of the story in the game is after the Journey To The West 😳
1:40 actually, Sun Wukong IS the main character of Journey to The West, he's the center point of almost every chapter, and actively progress the story most of the time, his master is mostly the "damsel in distress" role.
I came here to get a synopsis of journey to the west and I left with my new favorite UA-cam channel. Your content is absolutely awesome and I've recommended it to a bunch of my history/ mythology nerd friends. You're an incredible story teller, can't wait to binge everything I've missed so far
by legends Siddhartha Gautama ascended to enlightment in india, so yes, it has to be the sub continent a trip to europe for buddhism is off the table obviously
No. Not really. The story of immortal monkey isn’t unique to China. It’s only know as monkey king and name Sun Wukong in China. In my native land, we have a different one about the immortal monkey. Journey to the West is not about China going to the West of China but went past China and travel to the West of China.
I'm an Anime nerd and I'm happy you stopped with the references, because I didn't come here for anime references but the story behind the Monkey King himself. Thanks!
In fact, the novel "Journey to the West" is far more than an adventure story. It is actually a philosophical storybook that combines three major religions and summarizes and satirizes them in the form of a large number of fables. It explores the ways to explain the world. Angle, way of being and living. The classical philosophical concepts in the book can bring people valuable knowledge and reflection, which is also an important reason why it stands out and becomes one of China's four great classics. 6:36
I saw this comment and had to respond. I'm noticing Monkey King ate the fruit of immortality, or in Christianity we call the fruit of eternal life. Adam and Eve ate of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil but not the fruit of eternal life. Monkey becomes an absolute nuisance to the heavens and the monk is always trying to make Monkey understand he is doing wrong, but Monkey seems to have no knowledge of good and evil. It's almost a play on the consequences of had Adam and Eve eaten the other fruit which many Christians ask themselves why they didn't. Through Monkey King we can see the dire consequences of Immortality with no self awareness of wrong doing. Just as Adam and Eve were like children before eating the fruit, so is Monkey King an Immortal Child with immense powers he doesn't understand. Also Tripitaka is like some kind of Incarabation of Buddha, just as Jesus is an incarnation of Yahweh. And such the demons are eating monks to be freed from the demonic state. Likewise Jesus said those who drink my blood and eat my flesh shall be forgiven of their sins, have eternal life and shall see heaven. There is so much more to comment on but not wanting to write a novel
I should also add that Tang Sanzang changed his name to Tripitaka. He called himself the Word, named himself the Word of Buddha. Jesus was called the Word of God. To eat his flesh was to digest the Word. The parallels are endless
Wukong left two marks on the Buddha's hand. Writings and his piss. Yes, he was pissing on to Buddha's middle finger. Imagine how Buddha was not getting emotional after that but still punished Wukong in a very demure way.
Ironically, I was wondering what happened since I hadn't seen you post anything. I love all your stuff, I recommend it to everyone who is into learning history
Great video! and research! Just to point out that it wasn't a plot hole how Wukong can fly and just get the scrolls. He mentioned to the monk that he can just carry him and fly over and get everything done in a minute. Tripitaka explained that he had to walk and experience tons of tests and trials to be worthy of the scrolls. Monkey king couldn't defy the monk so he had no choice but to walk with him. Also just to let you know, Tripitaka is a real person from the Tang dynasty and he really did journey to the west, albeit without the monkey and demons. Also the demons all want to eat him because he was the incarnation of Buddha's disciple and thus he is special, only his flesh can grant immortality compared to the other monks.
there's literally no real lore to his story. his story was changed and manipulated more than the Bible. literally they changed this folk tale multiple times just to fit certain lessons. his story is the ultimate story because really its all stories
In fact, the story main characters illustrates the three ‘poisons’ in sentient beings, namely greed represented by the pig, anger-wukong, ignorance-sha monk in the Buddhist teachings.
Cleansing alters is meant to be a happy ending for Piggy (Bajie) in the novel. Buddha gave him the job to “clean” aka eating people’s offerings (fruits, desserts, etc).
Knowing that the classic mythical story of A Journey to the West is definitely the childhood memory of millions of kids in China, it’s kinda fun for me to listen to a foreigner narrating it again. No matter how accurate your narrative is, I have to say all the paintings in your video are amazingly beautiful. Btw, to all the people criticizing the persons or the country behind this game, are your guys, your games, or your countries absolutely perfect? If not, shut up and do your own bits. Hope your guys can really get some enlightenment after playing this game, which includes looking at yourself in the mirror before going out to laugh at others.
i ignored the sexist reference altogether because who cares about politics? The gameplay is sneak peek into a very rich culture-- something which that friggin quote unquote journalist did not respect!
Ik we typically make fun of "the real _____ was the friends we made along the way" but the Journey to the West and the Elignment being the Journey the 4 have is a really cool twist and its ancient so its probably one of the first novels to produce that trope. Love this story.
For anyone wondering how Luffy is Sun Wukong,he's based on multiple mythologies but the main one as far as his gear 5th is Hanuman who Wukong is based on and so on
Hanuman always appears almost naked and wears only a loin cloth. Sun Wikong always appears in dynastic Chinese wear or warrior outfit. See the great difference.
@@extremelynoobgaming4742 It sure does if Hanuman wears only loin cloth to hide his modesty. Sun Wukong totally all dressed up in Chinese warrior outfit as opposed to itsy bitsy white cloth. Wukong born from rock whereas Hanuman from Ape. Big difference.
@allanbaker3958 😂 hey honestly I support her learning she just doesn't like English much and I already knew Cantonese so meh. But if she did I be proud af tbh lol.
You can also throw in Inuyasha being heavily influenced by Journey to the West. The story is basically ancient chinese version of "The Odyssey" if you want to compare something kinda similar work in the west.
the plot hole that you mentioned about wukong having a cloud just reminds me of how i ride my motorcycle a few thousand kms away instead of just taking a plane.
@@chadev9748 lol, are you serious?🤣 that was the easiest chapter! I defeated every boss in chapter 5 except the final boss first try, I beat Red Boy, on my 2nd try and I beat yaksha king on my 3rd attempt. My yellow loong transformation made him cry🤣🤣🤣
Let me just say your videos are amazing, with that being said it's been a month since I turned in. I've been hearing about this Wukong guy and I thought, you might have one. Good job man, This is why I Subbed.
In fact, Sun Wukong was born from a stone, but this stone is not an ordinary stone. In Chinese mythology, Nuwa repaired the sky, and this stone was left over from the repair. Nuwa is like Eve in the Western world, she is the mother of the Chinese people. Later, this stone experienced tens of thousands of years, absorbed the essence of the world and the universe, and gave birth to Sun Wukong. So when Sun Wukong was born, the earth shook and the light shone directly to the heaven.
This video was pretty detailed! I learned a lot about Wukong from this that I didn't know about in the previous video I watched. The PP jokes were crude but definitely funny, and I think you did a very great job of telling the whole story of Wukong in a way that is not only relatable to most modern day humans, but able to capture attention, and you summarized a, like you said, "2000 page epic" in 20 minutes very fantastically
Awesome video bro! I just got the game last night and waiting for the weekend to get it started. It’s crazy to think I would have never heard of these great stories if it wasn’t for a video game 😅 and it all connects to movies and tv shows I used to watch as a kid. Thank you 🙏🏽
The constant stopping & tangents for dry jokes made this a hard watch. Man the contents so good but man let it play with more details every 20sec. Pause. Joke. Back. Pause. Joke. 🤦🏻
Wu Kong almost killed his master in the early days of the journey, the head band is for discipline, because the monk can’t even fight against a dog. Buddha taught him a spell that shrinks the band that causes headaches
Wukong had quarreled with Tang Monk but never hurt him. The first time they quarreled was because Wukong had killed six robbers. Wukong could not stand the rebuke from Tang monk, so he left him and went to drink tea with the Dragon King. Later the Dragon King persuaded Wukong to let him go back to apologize to Tang monk. Then the monk cheated Wukong to wear the band that causes headaches
THANK YOU- played through all commercials, subscribed, and here you go, Sir.

Can't wait to play Black Myth Wukong in 2 days! Thanks for this story! So I guess the game took place after he learnt immortality and left the Monkey Island and being a cocky bastard disturbing other gods and super beings but before he got invited to heaven to work for them. Got it.

Why? Japanese are the ones who committed atrocities to the Chinese, it isn't surprising they "borrowed" stories from them as well to make more media for their cultures
Side note, the staff he uses was not originally meant to be a weapon. It was a pillar meant to stabilize the sea which was why the dragon king refused to give it to him.
thank you for this man, as a MASSIVE one piece fan, i somehow had no idea that journey to the west was that big of an inspiration on one piece, as i knew nothing about journey before this video, you really opened my eyes and made me appreciate my favorite anime even more. Eiichiro Oda is a genius.
Superman’s origin pulls more so from Moses than Wukong. A savior figure that escaped genocide and was adopted by a different people group than their own.
Except that Moses was actually *re* -adopted by his own actual people. (Pharaoh’s wife found him floating in a river and was like: *Ouuu! Free real estate!🤩* )

He is appraoched 500 years later by tang seng (buddhism monk), given the so called "crown" that you see and goes on "the journey to the west" where him and 3 other yaoguai turned good had to protect their shifu from other yaoguai (81 challenges) to receive the buddhas teachings from the west. In the balck myth game, the game takes place after the original story where wukong has successfully completed the journey and was named fighting buddha. That same crown I talked about earlier enabled tang seng to recite a buddhist verse which caused wukong to be obedient and lose his powers. He thought theyd removed it but in which they havent and the same spell still works on him. In order to dismiss the control of the buddhas, he basically chose to die hence why erlang killed him but only pretended to fight him. The main character of black myth is a young monkey who takes on the challenge of trying to find all of wukong's 6 missing things and basically become him. Thats why in the cutscene erlang says that he cannot kill the monkey, only wukong and kill himself. By killing himself, he is able to avoid the so called spell by spliting himself into 6 pieces. With the final one (his will) in erlang's 3rd eye if you play the game thats what happens when u win against erlang. Anywho, the game makes you collect all 6 of his pieces to "ressurect him" but the bad ending ends when he gets the crown put on him, meaning he never escaped. But the "good" ending, the main character gets his memories back which just so happens to be wukongs memories, without the crown. Meaning that you've successfully brought the real wukong back and that he does not need to go back into reincarnation.
Very well interpreted it!🎉
so am i wukong without my memories?
or a normal monkey?
@@ljcuoxotco a clone of him. Which is why you are called "the destined one". Youre supposed to be wukong's vessel.
@@ljcuoxotco youre a monkey who is essentially a reincarnation of wukong but you are not wukong yet as you havent gathered his 6 parts which were scattered in the word. Hence why you fight the bosses
@@steven8269 .
so the aim of the game is to be wukong again? not to do the journey to the west?
or will that be another game
Nice, cool to note the Monkey king also went to the underworld and erased his name from the book of destiny, so yea hes immortal a couple times over. 😅
Can’t think of any characters aside from Wukong, that have stacked immortality.
@@stryfe0he was a colector some could say 😅
😂😂😂
He was also thrown into hellfire, but since he was immortal, he just absorbed it and became immortal again and then also got the name, monkey with the golden fire eyes
@@TheFGC_Terminatorif there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that he has many names and titles he’s been given
whatsinmy AI fixes this. Understand Sun Wukong's lore basics.
"There are all these demons want to eat his holy meat". And, there's this scorpion demon that wants to eat him out.
Plus a women only island that wants virgin monk meat.
If history teachers gave history lessons like this guy, i would’ve had A+ on every test. 🤣 this man’s jokes mid story cracked me up!
Subbed!
happy to have you on board 🫡
Luffy bursting out of barrel on episode 1 makes sense now!
another reference 🫡
fax
that’s rlly not a reference. that’s just symbolism for luffy starting at the “bottom of the barrel”
@howsyourday4268 That allegory doesn't even exist in Japanese 💀 there is NO 'starting from the bottom of the barrel' saying in Japanese. Luffy's entrance was 100% a visual reference to Wukong's famous introduction of bursting out from the rock, same pose and all.
@@jinnimoo you really think japanese ppl have not heard that before💀
Reading the title as a Japanese:
Wow Goku looks different
😂
Bro made me wanna get the game now sucks they didn't sponsor you but keep up the good work you'll have all my likes
Goku: Who are you?
Sun Wukong: you’re a pube I plucked and flicked away a few centuries ago lil bro
Would make sense 😂😂
OnG as big of a DBZ fan as I am... (I don't like Goku tho 😂 never was a fan of any of the main good guys in anything from anime to comics)... Wukong would solo the entire anime universe with ease lol.
@@subzero308 I agree but hanzo hasashi solos everything in existence
It's wild how I knew about Wukong a while into knowing about Goku, and liked them both, but never put it together til recently that they are basically the same character. Or at least Goku is inspired by Wukong. Both of them can be shown as playful and mischievous, even simple and silly.. but they also have their don't F with me sides. Both can basically turn into big monkeys, and they both just get stronger the more they fight. Goku is basically presented as the strongest being in the universe next to what would be the highest of high creators.
Funny enough Goku also has a pig companion, and another companion who can't get enough of the ladies.
I've started playing your videos to share my love of history with my oldest child, and to soothe my youngest to sleep. Thank you for your awesome content and your voice.
wow, that is beautiful. I can't believe I'm part of the family time 🥹 also now I feel bad about all the innuendos in my videos haha
Dont lmfao its your style dont change your style to try to please everyone . You bring ppl in BECAUSE YOU ARE WHO U ARE@@Briefed_Mythology
Bro was so scared of death that he began to treat immortality like a drug.
He values freedom above anything else. The ultimate freedom is to choose when you leave rather than being dragged away by death.
@@ariadneunsworth6248 nah, his thinking is very simple
Dead is a bad thing, it make sense to avoid bad thing,then i will avoid it
@@vietcuongnguyenle8530 its not that simple, read the original if you can.
@@steven8269 he learn cultivation because other monkey in his moutain dead , it make him sad and he want to help them
He ask wisest monkey why they grow old and dead.
He answer that how natural work, death is a part of life and is what every one will face
Wukong ask : how to avoid death
The monkey : you must to learn cultivation
And that is why wukong learn it, he learn it to teach it to other monkey
But after learn cultivation, wukong know even it can’t help avoid dead, just slow the time it come
Then wukong come to hell, know about the life and death book, and decide to erase his name from the book because he think by doing that he and his people can completly avoid the death
He know dead it bad for him and his people, so he try to avoid it, that all
@@vietcuongnguyenle8530 It's both. He both doesn't like death period but also wants unlimited freedom. He doesn't even want said freedom to actually go around roaming the universe constantly and is happy to just chill with his monkeys and maybe party with some gods on occasion.
buddha: literally everything everywhere all at once
also buddha: I'll give you the scrolls but you gotta get it from me in india
this.
@@Briefed_Mythology Well it because that's a true story that a monk go to India from China at 7th century for true Buddhist scriptures. And the Emperor of China then was in this story too... Btw. there's no such a nation call India then, India is a geographic concept like Caribbean with dozen kingdoms there.
The actual Buddha was a person in ancient Nepal. The other Buddhas or the word Buddha in this book sometimes means enlightened one.
The true intention of the jorney it not about getting a scroll, but to set a challenging trial for Wukong and his master
@@tomcatkewell
So that’s why Goku befriends all of his enemies! 🧐
Good observation 😮
21:30 "The real treasure are the friends we made along the way!" 😂
And the idea is 400 years before one piece 😂
The bo-staff of SWK is fit for any ultimate warrior. His weapon is one of the best mythological weapons ever. Its up there with Gungnir for me.
Facts
Up there with Mijolnir
@@JusttMiike personally think mjolnir is a tier below
I'm playing Black Myth: Wukong now and I stumbled in this video. After watching, I realized that the setting of the story in the game is after the Journey To The West 😳
0:20 Game Science probably spent less effort in promoting the game than Nvidia promoting its RTX effects in the game so don't be sad.
yea this guy felt arrogant on that part
@@nizavUA-cam also, too many dick jokes
@@nizavUA-camwhat 😭
1:40 actually, Sun Wukong IS the main character of Journey to The West, he's the center point of almost every chapter, and actively progress the story most of the time, his master is mostly the "damsel in distress" role.
I came here to get a synopsis of journey to the west and I left with my new favorite UA-cam channel. Your content is absolutely awesome and I've recommended it to a bunch of my history/ mythology nerd friends. You're an incredible story teller, can't wait to binge everything I've missed so far
ah, wow. thank you David. thanks - really 🥹
FYI, Journey to the West. The west of China is India, not Europe.
by legends Siddhartha Gautama ascended to enlightment in india, so yes, it has to be the sub continent
a trip to europe for buddhism is off the table obviously
Yup, it was about returning the Buddhist writing back to India where it came from. Then bring back new stuff, more like an exchange of knowledge.
Its a country called tianzhu, Conquered by Tang China and then became a vassal state of China
@@jesse89625 you may be correct, since India as we know it today, did not exist then.
No. Not really. The story of immortal monkey isn’t unique to China. It’s only know as monkey king and name Sun Wukong in China. In my native land, we have a different one about the immortal monkey. Journey to the West is not about China going to the West of China but went past China and travel to the West of China.
I'd be pretty mad if I almost got a giant dragon to travel the world on and the mf turns into a horse 🧍🏾♂️
😂 the journey to the west has to be walked on ground, otherwise Wukong can carry his monk master to the destination with a single flip
I'm an Anime nerd and I'm happy you stopped with the references, because I didn't come here for anime references but the story behind the Monkey King himself. Thanks!
In fact, the novel "Journey to the West" is far more than an adventure story. It is actually a philosophical storybook that combines three major religions and summarizes and satirizes them in the form of a large number of fables. It explores the ways to explain the world. Angle, way of being and living. The classical philosophical concepts in the book can bring people valuable knowledge and reflection, which is also an important reason why it stands out and becomes one of China's four great classics. 6:36
well said - I agree with everything you wrote
I saw this comment and had to respond. I'm noticing Monkey King ate the fruit of immortality, or in Christianity we call the fruit of eternal life. Adam and Eve ate of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil but not the fruit of eternal life. Monkey becomes an absolute nuisance to the heavens and the monk is always trying to make Monkey understand he is doing wrong, but Monkey seems to have no knowledge of good and evil. It's almost a play on the consequences of had Adam and Eve eaten the other fruit which many Christians ask themselves why they didn't. Through Monkey King we can see the dire consequences of Immortality with no self awareness of wrong doing. Just as Adam and Eve were like children before eating the fruit, so is Monkey King an Immortal Child with immense powers he doesn't understand.
Also Tripitaka is like some kind of Incarabation of Buddha, just as Jesus is an incarnation of Yahweh. And such the demons are eating monks to be freed from the demonic state. Likewise Jesus said those who drink my blood and eat my flesh shall be forgiven of their sins, have eternal life and shall see heaven. There is so much more to comment on but not wanting to write a novel
I should also add that Tang Sanzang changed his name to Tripitaka. He called himself the Word, named himself the Word of Buddha. Jesus was called the Word of God. To eat his flesh was to digest the Word. The parallels are endless
Wukong left two marks on the Buddha's hand. Writings and his piss. Yes, he was pissing on to Buddha's middle finger. Imagine how Buddha was not getting emotional after that but still punished Wukong in a very demure way.
Ironically, I was wondering what happened since I hadn't seen you post anything. I love all your stuff, I recommend it to everyone who is into learning history
thank you, I appreciate that - keep recommending please haha 🫡
Great video! and research! Just to point out that it wasn't a plot hole how Wukong can fly and just get the scrolls. He mentioned to the monk that he can just carry him and fly over and get everything done in a minute. Tripitaka explained that he had to walk and experience tons of tests and trials to be worthy of the scrolls. Monkey king couldn't defy the monk so he had no choice but to walk with him.
Also just to let you know, Tripitaka is a real person from the Tang dynasty and he really did journey to the west, albeit without the monkey and demons. Also the demons all want to eat him because he was the incarnation of Buddha's disciple and thus he is special, only his flesh can grant immortality compared to the other monks.
there's literally no real lore to his story. his story was changed and manipulated more than the Bible. literally they changed this folk tale multiple times just to fit certain lessons. his story is the ultimate story because really its all stories
you can go read the original story where it tells the journey to the west and his lore before the entire backstory of black myth was established
@@steven8269 where do I go to read the original story?
In fact, the story main characters illustrates the three ‘poisons’ in sentient beings, namely greed represented by the pig, anger-wukong, ignorance-sha monk in the Buddhist teachings.
Cleansing alters is meant to be a happy ending for Piggy (Bajie) in the novel. Buddha gave him the job to “clean” aka eating people’s offerings (fruits, desserts, etc).
Discovered this channel just when I needed it. Thank you Buddha
funniest video I have seen on this new game, thank you
thank you for watching 🥹
Hay glad to see you again hope all is doing well. When are we going to see a series on mesopotamian and celtic mythology.
Mesopotamia probably sooner than Celtic tbh
@@Briefed_Mythology Well I'm here for it.
Thanks for making this i hope the game sequel will have wukong and his friend pig and monk as playable characters
Knowing that the classic mythical story of A Journey to the West is definitely the childhood memory of millions of kids in China, it’s kinda fun for me to listen to a foreigner narrating it again. No matter how accurate your narrative is, I have to say all the paintings in your video are amazingly beautiful. Btw, to all the people criticizing the persons or the country behind this game, are your guys, your games, or your countries absolutely perfect? If not, shut up and do your own bits. Hope your guys can really get some enlightenment after playing this game, which includes looking at yourself in the mirror before going out to laugh at others.
i ignored the sexist reference altogether because who cares about politics? The gameplay is sneak peek into a very rich culture-- something which that friggin quote unquote journalist did not respect!
@@alainalittle9965What are you talking about
Please make more movies like this. Loved it!
thank you, thank you
Ik we typically make fun of "the real _____ was the friends we made along the way" but the Journey to the West and the Elignment being the Journey the 4 have is a really cool twist and its ancient so its probably one of the first novels to produce that trope. Love this story.
Bro you are actually hilarious I’m subscribing 😂😂
For anyone wondering how Luffy is Sun Wukong,he's based on multiple mythologies but the main one as far as his gear 5th is Hanuman who Wukong is based on and so on
yup, a loot of hanuman in luffy. pause.
Hanuman always appears almost naked and wears only a loin cloth. Sun Wikong always appears in dynastic Chinese wear or warrior outfit.
See the great difference.
@@jacku8304 clothes doesn't matter, luffy's ultimate move is bajrang gun which is a direct reference to bajrangbali aka Hanuman
@@extremelynoobgaming4742 It sure does if Hanuman wears only loin cloth to hide his modesty. Sun Wukong totally all dressed up in Chinese warrior outfit as opposed to itsy bitsy white cloth. Wukong born from rock whereas Hanuman from Ape. Big difference.
Thanks dude - I'm about to play this and needed a refresher on the myth. This was great!
this was amazing man thank you so much, made me love this game so much more and gave me a deeper insight of anime's in general
"It's ok she doesn't speak english"
Hey lol neither dose my wife lol 😂
keep winning 🫡
But what if they learn? And just never reveal it? (Danger music starts.)
@allanbaker3958 😂 hey honestly I support her learning she just doesn't like English much and I already knew Cantonese so meh. But if she did I be proud af tbh lol.
Nah if she know english she will leave you for stud on tjnder
@huynhyurivanvladamir7978 haha I am a stud bro dw. I'm 6'1 87kgs and very artistically pleasing. But thanks for the concern
It wouldve been such a poetic ending if the scrolls was actually a book titled Journey to the West.
Just found your channel. Entertaining, informative and funny as hell. Just subscribed homie..keep up the great content
good to have you on board victor 🫡
so this is the original “the one piece is the friends we made along the way”
You can also throw in Inuyasha being heavily influenced by Journey to the West. The story is basically ancient chinese version of "The Odyssey" if you want to compare something kinda similar work in the west.
the plot hole that you mentioned about wukong having a cloud just reminds me of how i ride my motorcycle a few thousand kms away instead of just taking a plane.
Another banger man, can't wait for the game
enjoy the game bro, I hear it's amazing
Your sound quality is exceptional
Watching this while black myth wukong is downloading this came in clutch 🔥🔥🔥
enjoy the game, legend
bro prolly did NOT enjoy Yasha King
if he got that far even
@@chadev9748 lol, are you serious?🤣 that was the easiest chapter! I defeated every boss in chapter 5 except the final boss first try, I beat Red Boy, on my 2nd try and I beat yaksha king on my 3rd attempt. My yellow loong transformation made him cry🤣🤣🤣
Let me just say your videos are amazing, with that being said it's been a month since I turned in. I've been hearing about this Wukong guy and I thought, you might have one. Good job man, This is why I Subbed.
I aim to please 🫡
In fact, Sun Wukong was born from a stone, but this stone is not an ordinary stone. In Chinese mythology, Nuwa repaired the sky, and this stone was left over from the repair. Nuwa is like Eve in the Western world, she is the mother of the Chinese people. Later, this stone experienced tens of thousands of years, absorbed the essence of the world and the universe, and gave birth to Sun Wukong. So when Sun Wukong was born, the earth shook and the light shone directly to the heaven.
Could the stone just be a meteorite?
@@HDsharp It's basically just a mythical magical metaphor.
Very informative video and really witty puns with great commentary. earned my sub king
Difference is Wukong would solo every anime universe wit no hesitation... Lol... Bro is a different type fr fr.
This video was pretty detailed! I learned a lot about Wukong from this that I didn't know about in the previous video I watched. The PP jokes were crude but definitely funny, and I think you did a very great job of telling the whole story of Wukong in a way that is not only relatable to most modern day humans, but able to capture attention, and you summarized a, like you said, "2000 page epic" in 20 minutes very fantastically
Monk in Monkey has me pondering
me too, not gonna lie...more than a joke
You earned a sub. Appreciated the light jokes in between. Keep up the good work. I'm gonna check your other videos out
thank you, and happy to have you on board 🫡
It's still weird without your best friend. Our condolences, bro.
Still amazing channel. We enjoy your videos.
We wish more folks could subscribe.
thank you 🥹 it's super weird, yes... it'll never really be the same to be honest
Awesome video bro! I just got the game last night and waiting for the weekend to get it started. It’s crazy to think I would have never heard of these great stories if it wasn’t for a video game 😅 and it all connects to movies and tv shows I used to watch as a kid. Thank you 🙏🏽
The constant stopping & tangents for dry jokes made this a hard watch. Man the contents so good but man let it play with more details every 20sec. Pause. Joke. Back. Pause. Joke. 🤦🏻
This helped me a ton before my Black Myth Wukong stream, thanks man!
you're welcome man, and enjoy the game 🫡
Wu Kong almost killed his master in the early days of the journey, the head band is for discipline, because the monk can’t even fight against a dog. Buddha taught him a spell that shrinks the band that causes headaches
Wukong had quarreled with Tang Monk but never hurt him. The first time they quarreled was because Wukong had killed six robbers. Wukong could not stand the rebuke from Tang monk, so he left him and went to drink tea with the Dragon King. Later the Dragon King persuaded Wukong to let him go back to apologize to Tang monk. Then the monk cheated Wukong to wear the band that causes headaches
THANK YOU- played through all commercials, subscribed, and here you go, Sir. I love WATCHING games, but have no dexterity to actually play them, but my husband is really into this game, so I want to "click-in" to what I am watching. Makers of this game should TOTALLY give you some love; my nephews are also gamers and the holiday season is nigh....
awww that is so awesome that you watch your husband game and even get into the lore behind the game haha I love that. thank you for watching (with ads) and for that wholesome comment 🥹
the monk and monkey joke reminds me of when i was doing masculine and feminine nouns back in 2nd grade when i thought monkey was the feminine for monk 💀☠
bruh that made me laugh hahahaha
The highfive at 1:13 lmao, I am only that far into the video but I am subbing just for that so far. love it
I love JTTW and SUN WUKONG is the best character in all of anime you deserve WAY more views and subs for your content.
Haha love this vid!! Good job man
thanks man
Can't wait to play Black Myth Wukong in 2 days! Thanks for this story! So I guess the game took place after he learnt immortality and left the Monkey Island and being a cocky bastard disturbing other gods and super beings but before he got invited to heaven to work for them. Got it.
"the demon's female form is so convincingly post-op" is WILD, my guy, holy shit.

dragon ball, one piece and dont forget naruto bro, where do you think clone jutsu that naruto has inspired from? and the ero jutsu which naruto change to other form? everything has a wukong in it bro lol
my favorite anime too - just didn't wanna drop too many animes in the video
First video I've commented on in awhile immediately love the energy and the editing pretty funny especially for a lore video. Perfect for sun wukong
0:12 bro you told the truth, but I m sure Japanese and Korean people would not like what you say…lol
well it is what it is haha
Japanese people aren't American they don't get booty hurt like that infact goku is the direct Japanese translation of wukong
Why? Japanese are the ones who committed atrocities to the Chinese, it isn't surprising they "borrowed" stories from them as well to make more media for their cultures
Side note, the staff he uses was not originally meant to be a weapon. It was a pillar meant to stabilize the sea which was why the dragon king refused to give it to him.
thanks for adding that. should've had that in the video actually
thank you for this man, as a MASSIVE one piece fan, i somehow had no idea that journey to the west was that big of an inspiration on one piece, as i knew nothing about journey before this video, you really opened my eyes and made me appreciate my favorite anime even more. Eiichiro Oda is a genius.
Bro
You izz awesome. good job
Superman’s origin pulls more so from Moses than Wukong.
A savior figure that escaped genocide and was adopted by a different people group than their own.
Except that Moses was actually *re* -adopted by his own actual people. (Pharaoh’s wife found him floating in a river and was like: *Ouuu! Free real estate!🤩* )
Nah, Moses was adopted since a baby, He then go back to his own peoples, not really a Superman plot.
