@@LoliMaster69227 the thing is that, he has a mind of a teenager, he doesn't understand moral principles set by heaven, well he challenged heaven because his village (hua guo mountain) got involved in the heaven and hell war. And all his people (monkeys) died for no reason. All buddha kept saying was "it was inevitable". so he got very pissed.

5:37 the interesting barrier Wukong drew is originated from the fiction Journey to the West. In one of the sections, Wukong needed to go far away to get food for his master Tang, but he was afraid that there might be monsters in the mountain. So Wukong used his power to draw a circle on the ground and let the master stay inside the circle. Later after Wukong left, a monster came and tried to catch the master, and the monster was bounced back when he touched the circle. The monster realized that he couldn’t pass through the circle, so he transformed himself to a young lady, pretended to be lost, and asked the master for help. The master was deceived and left the circle to help the lady. As soon as the master left the circle, the monster reached his hand to the master and intend to catch him. At this very moment, Wukong came back and hit the monster with his weapon. The monster dodged the attack, turned invisible and flew away, but at the same time he left a fake dead body of the young lady on the ground. Now, what the master just saw was Wukong attacked a poor young lady for no reason. Very interesting section.

Goku is Wukong and Wukong is Goku, they're the same character taken by a Chinese novel called "Journey to the west". It's really famous in Asia. You should read it because it has crazily epic storyline! Wukong is a monkey king but they made Goku as an ape. Goku's cloud (idk what it is in English, but it's Kinto Un in Japanese) is actually exists in Wukong's story, so is the Nyoibou cane (the cane Goku brings when he was a kid). And Oolong is based on Cu Pat Kay/Zhu Bajie, Wukong's friend who accompanied him throughout the journey. He's also called: Sun Wu Kong = Chinese name Son Go Ku = Japanese name Son Oh Gong = Korean name Sun Go Kong = Indonesian name Tôn Ngộ Không = Vietnamese name And many more..

I remember seeing, that DB was going to be based on the Journey to the West, but later got changed. I saw this quite some years ago, not 100% sure if true, since I can't remember the source. But it would explain why early Goku is clearly inspired by Wu Kong, but later on it has nothing to do with him.

First of all, great reaction video! Here are some lore i know about the last character who, i agree with you, will be a very important one in the game: The last character wearing a yellow rope is the Yellow-Browed Demon. In the original novel Journey to the West, the Yellow-Browed Demon tricked Wukong and Tangseng (his master) into believing that they had arrived at the final destination of the journey - Leiyin Temple, where in fact it was just a trap set by the Yellow-Browed Demon. In the novel, Wukong was captured by him and was detained under his gold cymbal (the huge gold disc you see at the end of the trailer). If you listen carefully, you can hear three knocks at13:09 indicating someone was inside. In the novel, it was Kangjin Dragon (the statue you see at 3:07 was his human figure) who rescued Wukong by drilling a hole in the gold cymbal with his dragon horn, hence the significance of the statue displayed by itself (instead of among other statues in the trailer). The Yellow-Browed Demon used to be a disciple of the Maitreya Buddha who was also called the Future Buddha. In the trailer at 12:07, the Yellow-Browed Demon called himself the Future Buddha and was scolding, "Why are you not paying respect (bowing)to me? " His was also the voice in the entire trailer. There are tons of lore in the game trailer in terms of characters, scenes, locations, building, and music. The developers really put lots of effort into it. I hope it comes out great!

Afro, Dragon Ball bases almost everything on Journey to the West, the Epic Novel that Wukong is in. Wukong was trapped in a mountain because he waged a war on heaven but was freed by Tang Sanzang to go on a journey to find sutras in the west. Goku stuck around his mountain where he grew up with Grandpa Gohan until Bulma came and asked him to go on a journey with her to retrieve dragon balls. Wukong could transform into a giant ape Goku could transform into a giant ape Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang/Golden Cudgel is a rod that extends and thickens and is basically Wukong's most powerful weapon. Goku's Power Pole extends. Wukong could summon clones of himself by releasing some of his hair Goku creates afterimage clones of himself Krillin was based on the perverted Pig Demon known as Zhu Bajie who joins Tang Sanzang and Wukong on their journey Zhu Bajie is a pervert Krillin as a child was quite the pervert, had his own collection of lewd magazines Yamcha is based on Sha Wujing, the sand demon. Yamcha was first encountered in the Desert Sha Wujing is a Sand Demon Tien is based on Erlang Shen, the 3-eyed Demi-god who's basically a military leader in Heaven's Palace. Chiaotzu is based on Nezha. The nimbus cloud is based on Wukong's Somersault Cloud Chi-Chi's father, the Ox King is based on Niu Mowang/Bull Demon King Chi-Chi is supposed to be based on Princess Iron Fan. The Bansho Fan is based on you guessed it the Bansho Fan/Banana Palm Fan there's a shit ton more. (Edit: Shout out to the homies who also read Journey to the West)

Btw, at the start when the narrator was refering to "you", he's refering to the team of 4 from the original journey to the west (I say original because I'm not sure if the game will be a new iteration or not). You're here for a great cause, to pick up what's tried and failed, and make it whole - the monk Tang Sanzang, the great cause refering his journey to retrieve the Budhist scriptures. You want to be among the gods, and hear your name praised by generations to come - Sha Wujing, this one is kinda ambiguous, could be Wukong too You see this journey as a way out, an escape from what you deem unimporant - Sun Wukong, the reasoning here being that he really only wanted immortality and stay in his mountain. And you. The simple one. All you want is shelter and dinner - Zhu Bajie (the pig), should be pretty self explanatory.

Glad you're enjoying it, I'm looking forward to the game as well. Here's a bit of context on the background, hope it will help: Journey to the West was a fantasy story about Sun Wukong accompanying his master (Xuanzang, a monk who is also a reincarnation of Buddha's disciple) to the west to retrieve some Buddhist scriptures. Son Goku is the Japanese pronunciation of Sun Wukong's name, and a lot of his abilities and gadgets were based on Wukong (the pole and nimbus). Oolong is inspired by Xuanzang's second disciple, who is a pig demon. Accompanying them on the journey, there is also Xuanzang's third disciple, and Xuanzang's steed (a dragon transformed into a horse). Each of them (except Xuanzang) are being punished for something in their past life, and the quest is a means of redemption. Along the way, they encounter many trials and demons who want to eat Xuanzang's flesh for the power and life that it would grant them. I think the voice-over at the beginning was to call out that, while they're on this noble quest, the disciples are actually selfish and only in it for themselves. That was and probably will be the main character development that we will see in this game.

Original Dragon Ball is literally just "Journey to the west", so the vast majority of Dragon Ball takes from Wukong's lore.

Journey to the West has a great story with a lot of fantastical elements, I hope this game will be an enjoyable way to experience some of that world

11:12 Everything. he literally did everything. in the beginning of Journey to the West, he actually managed to make enemies with all the gods and demons of the Chinese mythologies. And the demons and gods he hasn't encountered, are incredibly terrified of him and would always plan carefully if they ever encounter.

The Journey to the West is monster fighting fiction to some, political manoeuvring to some, personal struggle for some. it has a ton of metaphors and symbols. Read it ten times it's deeper than Game of Thrones.

The very fact that you are comparing it to the Game of Thrones is a huge insult to the original fiction. But I don't blame you, because people nowadays will habitually rank modern popular fictions much higher than classical ones. I personally would compare Journey to the West more to Don Quixote, Os Lusíadas, etc.

@@jamesshen7066 More similar to Don Quixote than Lusíadas. Lusíadas is an epic poem more comparable to the Odyssey or Divine Comedy. Journey to the West is a mroe traditional novel. But yeah, you're right regardless, Song of Ice and Fire has nothing to do with Journey.

I just finished Journey To The West. Because of Black Myth: Wukong trailer. Not bad at all. Hope it helped me more understand the story when it's coming.

I recommend overly sarcastic productions videos on Journey to the west, it’s great at summarizing the story, sun wukong’s character traits, and you’ll see just how much that one folktale influenced all shonen anime

The way the monkey slapped the dragon to finish it off was too smooth he didn’t have to do him like that

I noticed that they changed some of the abilities from the last gameplay showcase and this one, the last one had transformations into defeated foes and he was able to put enemies in stasis. I honestly think those abilities would be pretty cool and hope we can use all the abilities shown in both trailers, cause these ones in this trailer too look great. This looks to be a great game

Sun Wukong is in a LOT of Chinese based shows, games, comics etc. it’s just a super famous myth that gets revised with different premises over and over with references in a lot of stuff like the Nimbus cloud and lightning, the staff (Ruyi jingu bang), and the golden crown/ headband. Seeing how it’s a Buddhist/ Taoist story (Journey to the west) it’s influence spread quite a bit in areas following the practice and beyond.

Dragon Ball drew inspiration directly from Journey to the West. It explains why Goku has a tail, flying nimbus, and power pole.

"They took freeze tag to a whole 'nother level" I'm DONE🤣!

dude! those snow effects at 5:15 are REALLY GOOD

Wukong has quickly grown to be one of my favorite mythos characters of all time.

Journey to West is the story that inspired the concept of the original dragon ball series. The main two components that are featured are nimbus and the power pole, but Goku like the monkey king is a monkey and travels on an epic adventure filled with peril.

There is a really good video by AvenueX who explains all the details about the trailer and how they relate back to the story of Sun Wukong and even the old 80s TV show. Like 99% of the stuff you see is a reference to something in the source material and it's pretty wild. Also yes, Wukong has A LOT of enemies.

I believe Tenshinhan from Dragon Ball series is inspired by Erlang Shen, especially the third eye on the forehead. Also Goku's father-in-law Ox-King is basically Bull Demon King from Journey to the West. Ox-King's name is Japanese is Gyumao it literally means bull demon king. As for the story, the original Dragon Ball plot structure is fairly similar to Journey to the West with an overarching arc of finding the Dragon Balls/Searching for Buddhist's Sutras. While both stories are "monster of the week" affairs with each major monster/boss covering few episodes/chapters.

looks pretty dope!

Just for a reference for this Chinese myth, wu Kong is one of the main protagonist for a Chinese story called "journey to the west". So much so that they even make his story solo in many ways from shows and into game. Wu kong is a mystic being that was born from a rock on top of 花果山 ( mountains of flowers and fruits) due to the positive and negative powers of the land. He is blessed with superhuman strength and was also taught 72 transformations and ways to immortality by a Taoist martial artist named puti zhushi, which wu Kong promised not to share his name for where he learn his skills. After all this the monkey king then established himself as a powerful and influential demon. He then when to east sea dragon king palace to get a weapon from the king. All weapons failed his test except 如意金箍棒/定海神针 (monkey king staff/golden rod/stabilizer of the four seas). He took the staff and thus causes the seas to have natural disasters as the staff serves as a needle to stabilize the seas. He also was presented with a chainmail with striking Phoenix feathers on the top of the headgear. Thereafter he alliance with alot of other demons due to his influence. Bcos of all this acts he was sentenced to death by hell, but bcos of his powers he caused an uproar in hell, worse still he manipulate the lifespans of all the monkeys he knew. All this acts r reported to a heavenly emperor named "jade emperor" that governs all life, the jade emperor then proceeds to call upon. His heavenly armies to wipe sun wukong and all of his monkeys out of existence but failed. After he wrecked havoc in the heavens, the jade emperor invited him to the heavens and give him a promotion with a rank amongst the god. He was given the title : protector of the horses. However he later learned that it was a fancy name for the lowest rank in the heavens as a stable boy he got furious and set all the horses free and went back to his land proclaiming himself as 齐天大圣 (The great sage,heaven's equal). I will skipped this small part as he was tricked once more into being a peach picking boy in the heavens. So he get himself drunk and stole all immortality pill and immortality peaches and ate them. When baq to his mountain cave and prepare rebellion. Sun wukong single handedly defeated 100000 celestial soldiers, nezha, four heavenly kings and proved his equal to a deity named 二郎神/杨坚 (who did almost the same thing as sun wukong due to family love). Eventually the Taoist and Buddhists join forces and got the bodhisattva of mercy to help and was able to capture sun wukong, who was locked in a 8 way trigrams crucible for 49 days of burning in hopes to melt wu Kong into essence and make into heavenly pills. However the fire not only didn't kill wu Kong but also made him stronger with stronger body frame and gains a vision ability called 火眼金睛(golden gaze) which let's him see through any evil. So in the end no other choice but the Jade emperor proceeds to seek help from Buddha and thus was able to lock wu Kong under a mountain sealed with Buddha power to keep him sealed. There after comes the journey to the west story after 500 years of his sealing.

Tell me if you heard this before...a story called "Journey to the West" where the Monkey King named Sun Wukong has a power staff called Ruyi Bang that can extend and he rides on a magic cloud called Nimbus. He has a companion cursed pig-man Zhu Bajie who can change forms. Oh... and Sun Wukong name in Japanese is Son Goku.

Yep. Ruyi Jingu Bang, usually when people, including him speak about they called it Jingu Bang. Technically is a cloud somersault, where he can travel fast distance in a single leap. Zhu Bajie is not really cursed...not in the usual sense. He is reincarnated into a pig so he has a pig body.

Most people who use weapon get the weight that just suit them and Wukong standard is simply much higher than others hahaha

The thing about wukong is that he's basically a god wu long is also capable of standing on his pole to gain distance wukong has the ability to just blow a few hairs and he can clone himself he can also widen his pole to be big enough to flatten the Empire State Building another thing is that most of the time wukong can pretty much do alot it's even said he is EXTREMELY strong

Yep, the staff and nimbus cloud you get from Goku is a direct reference to this guy. The staff can extend can extend pretty far if needed. Goku as a character is a reference to this guy, especially if you know in the original series, he had a tail :p.

Basically Son Wukong is the most op character of fiction itself, I can’t think of any being other than God more powerful than him.
