Same as wolf Fenrir and both were bounded by gods (angels) to the end of times. Journey to the west is very interesting tale about Wukong. On youtube you can find animation movie of it. It's a tale of monk's journey for wisdom to India. But try watch it with mind, that Wukong, Pigsy, Sandy are not only pilgrims accompany monk, but for real they are part of his personality. They are weakness and strong sides of his soul. They bring temptations but monk would not end journey for wisdom without their help. From sin to salvation.

Well, actually this is not a story about redemption (of course everyone has their own interpretation), redemption is only part of this story, it also tells about rebellion against power, unspoken rules of society, Chinese philosophical thinking, it reflects no, You'll see all kinds of weird and unfair rules, you'll see monsters without backgrounds get killed, monsters with backgrounds are forgiven for doing evil, and you'll see even in the holiest places Monsters do evil, some people corrupt and take bribes. In short, this is a book with a lot of content, which is why it is not called the road of redemption but the road to the west. Everything is a story that happened during the journey. This novel is more like a myth. In fact, because the story of Journey to the West has been widely spread in China for hundreds of years, Sun Wukong has gradually become a part of the myth. Even if we know it is virtual, you can imagine that it is a generation Another generation of Chinese idols, children have worshipped the Monkey King since longer than our grandfather. He's lawless, but he follows a certain kind of justice that exists in people's hearts...you can imagine he's a combination of Joker, Robin Hood, Batman, Superman, Loki, Hulk...he's cranky and he's naughty (this is His side as a monkey), but he is righteous, brave and full of wisdom (this is his side as a Buddha), and at the same time he also understands the world, he can figure out people's hearts well, and has a good relationship with gods (this is his role as a buddha). The human side), this is a very full image, he is the protagonist of this story, but he is not the main body of this story, he is just a part of this story, this is not just a story about growth and transformation of teenagers, this is a time A rich journey to the west, the characters that appear on each journey are important in his plot, everything on the journey is part of the story, human nature, society, desire, greed, philosophy, Taoism and Buddhist mythology, Chinese Ways of looking at the world, many metaphors...

Ohhh, I cannot wait until your Journey To The West episode. I had already subbed but now I'm doubly glad I did.

Jade Emperor: its only a monkey Sun Waking: from that point I took it personally

What makes Sun Wukong most likable is his courage to resist authority and refusal to yield to power.

Now I want to find Monkey Magic and rewatch it. I love how Sun Wukong is essentially the blueprint for Timmy's first OC; Op, trained in all manner of skills, arrogant to an absolute fault, yet unbeatable until the literal being who is one with the universe steps in.

Your video is so well done and you retold the story so succinctly! I can't wait for you to cover more of the epic story.

Finally! A version of monkey king's origin that seems authentic...

Yeah the story actually makes sense

Sun Wukong has inspired so so many wonderful stories. Eastern storytelling wouldn't be the same without him and modern western storytelling wouldn't be the same either. So many protagonists that strive for a good fight and getting stronger owe everything to Wukong's story.

Fun fact: the boulder Wukong was born out of existed at the beginning of the universe creation. It absorbed the essence of the heaven and earth around it for millions of years. The mountain it resided on was a natural monkey habitat (花果山 mountain of flowers and fruits), that's why Wukong was hatched in a monkey form. 盖自开辟以来，每受天真地秀，日精月华，感之即久，遂有灵通之意，内育仙胎。一日迸裂，产一石卵，似圆球样大，因见风，化作一个石猴

Loved this video. You are great!! I love this legend, and the way you told it. Excellent!!

How badass was the journey to the west? It inspired games as wukong or sun , naruto(shadow clones),goku, and heck he has the beam out of his eyes first before superman. And thats after 4-5 centuries after the novel was written

Amazing video as always. Very informative

Love this! Covered all the early stories of the Monkey King!

Sometimes there is truth & reality in myths and legends more than we know or can appreciate!

This is a well produced tale and very well spoken! I enjoyed listening!

sun: have you ever heard the sound of one hand clapping? any demon: uhh no…? sun: WOULD YOU LIKE TO-

One Piece has "Money D Luffy" who sets out to sea to become "King of the Pirates", and has the "Will of D" which is essentially rebelling against the "Gods" who rule the world government. One of the places he went was "Sabaody"

I actually got introduced to this character on a Japanese TV show in 1980! I couldn't understand anything that was being said except the song, but I instantly loved it! What I liked was that Monkey was not only using Kung Fu but magic too! I have tried for years to get the dubbed version of the show on DVD, but it seems to only be on Region 2. I also have hunted down numerous movie versions.

I really enjoy your channel and your approach in your explanation of mythology.

Wonderful story, you have a voice for telling tales.

After watching something like this idk how you couldnt be tempted to make some sort of character of your own. its just so amazing 😂

One of my favorite myths from around the world.

One of my favorites! Thanks!

The 72 transformation is basically unlimited but just gives him 72 lives and also he is literally 4x immortal

Nice... I'll be waiting for the next part

You can tell in this mythology time is but a cosmic parlance. How The monkey King lived for centuries in Bliss with other monkeys that were there, where do they all come from, and then the master? How is there such a being in total isolation and yet we know nothing about him? Ah mythology is incredibly entertaining as illustrative, love this video!

It is difficult to read and listen at the same time. Excellent vids. Thank you 🙏🏻

Wukong: Runs away to the edge of the universe Buddha: I am one with the universe. Well the author got all his mythological lore correct before he wrote the book. One of the most amazing classic fantasy adventure to read.

Now that is some good story telling ❤️

The Monkey King wanted immortality so he went searching for 7 mythical Dargonballs! 😂🤪

Next time on Death Battle

Great job explaining this. Exactly like how it is. Only thing that is off is that wu Kong was set up in heaven by other gods that is jealous of him.

WOW!! I love this!! Your presentation is the most comprehensible description of Sun Wukong PERIOD! Would you consider making one for Ne Zha, please? Please let me know if you need help with Mandarin pronunciation.

your vibrato voice, your pacing, is pitch perfect, i love it so damn much, it remind me of all old documentary from the 70-80s (yes im super old) you really should seek a job as a book narrator

I wonder if maybe someday someone might make a new type of anime show series that introduces a planet; A planet that is filled with many different types of magical beings, and that includes (SUN WUKONG) aka (The Monkey King) who lives on it?
