It's even funnier the second time

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.
He’s essentially the first Gary Stu
how many immortality you want?
wukong: yes
Yes he can't die beceus he is monke
Literally has like 7 different immortality’s
@@tze1968 monke

I erased my self from the Book of Death
Sun Wukong learned 72 transformations and "hyperspace traveling" from an immortal, snatched an unbreakable golden stick and golden armor of immunity from a bunch of sea dragons, stolen and ate forbidden fruits of longevity, pumped himself full of heavenly drugs & adrenaline ... he is practically unkillable... so OP XD
he's like 5 times immortal
He is also inspiration for Goku
@Chav Catcher why do u think he massacre the entire angel squad in heaven 😂
Those drugs just granted him temporary invularability, and his opponents were mostly grunts and middle level personnel; during his journey to the west, there are enemies stronger than him, and there are times where he is almost killed.
Just read "Journey to the West" or "Monkey"
Jade emperor :"it's just a monkey there's no need to worry"
narrator :" but there was a need to worry"
"It's not like it'll be a hyper murder monkey."
😂
Lol
You're going to regret that, Jade Emperor
espescially when he reaches nirvana
The fact that Buddha literally gives Sun Wukong the middle finger is the best part! :D
Hehe I’ll say
Yes
he was ahead of his time
czcams.com/video/nGmbE1YdyMM/video.html
The oldest middle finger on earth. The OG
I like Sun Wukong because :
1. Monke
2. He can create doppelgangers
3. Is super strong
4. Reflects how people can change
5. Shows how desperate mortals want to be immortal
6. Has a fucking Golden Staff that can change size!
7. He is basically feared by most gods
Almost all the gods,
He also bullied the gods into calling him great sage
And let’s not forget his other form buddha wukong
I also have a golden staff that could change size depending on my mood.
Also Monke > Nezha
How is this not the jade emperor’s fault for asking a monkey to guard fruit
Ikr right
Why would someone want a monkey guard fruits?
Image living in the clouds without watching discovery channel about monkeys
I feel like wukong was set up
"I don't know what I expected"
To be fair, he also asked a dog to watch a heaping plate of bacon. So maybe he's none too knowledgeable about animal behavior.
A certain wise man once said:
“It’s not just about living forever. The trick is living with yourself forever”
The trick to that is multiple personalities. Technically dont gotta live with yourself that way, just let one of the other personalities have control when you start feeling guilt for living.
Probably said by a old pirate. 😂

Nice pun.

Fun fact: 72 transformations technique was just a name, he could in fact transform into anything even, get this, transform into a version of himself that is as strong as his opponent. Then he can use his thousands of body hairs to clone that very same transformation and the clones are AS STRONG as the original.
I know I know. OP as fuck.
The cloned self has no original power and is easily defeated
@@user-hx1ph8fm2s where are you getting this his clone has the same abilities as the original meaning the clone can become just as strong as any opponent and also make another clone etc Wukong is ridiculous
@@user-hx1ph8fm2s no it cannot be easily defeated, only wukong has the power to reduce the clone that has the same powers and abilities as him to a cloud of smoke...
Not anything though,he can't transform into Gods and highly powerful ones like Jade Emperor,Buddha etc..but for the most part yeah his opponent will face 100 dopplegangs of himself/herself..
Transformation is just 1 of 72 masteries that he is mastered.And more than half of his 72 masteries are useless to Opponents.WuKong has terrible weapon,not too much useful masteries except Transformation/Strengthen/Long distance Jump.Like Naruto,Wukong knows how to make his Spells shining.

Original Goku - “ give me all the immortality’s!”

Sun Wukong the Monke who became immortal 5 times then beat heaven and hell because it was fun.
Funny enough in Taoist philosophy there are 5 types of immortals : ghost immortals, human immortals , earth immortals, spirit immortals and heavenly immortals
Sound like Son Goku to me
He lost to Heavem actually. That’s how he was captured
Not really fun for him for going to hell or heaven, it's basically this.
Hell: "I'm fighting for my fucking life"
Heaven: "I'm about to whip somebody's ass"
@@c.galindo9639 not really to heaven but yeah
In Chinese culture, there is an idiom called 心猿意马 (Xin Yuan Yi Ma). It is a metaphor meaning "Heart is like a Monkey, Mind is like a Horse". The monkey is Wukong, the horse is the monk Tang Sanzang's (who rescued Wukong from the mountain of five elements) saddle horse.
The body is here, but the brain is as active as a monkey and as happy as a horse
心猿意马。
心：soul
意：What the brain thinks
Sun wukong is like that one rare protagonist that we care about more than the main charecter
Actually, it seems even the author cared more about Wukong. Wukong have the most screen time than other character in the book.
he has seven entire chapters around his origin story, Tripitaka/Tang Sangzang (the actual main character) gets like 4 and half of it is just the convoluted origin of a festival he partakes in
Son Wukong IS the main character though.
Sun Wukong was given great power but relied too heavily on what he was capable of which made him cause his own downfall.
It shows that if you’re not satisfied with great power then you are not worthy of keeping it
well said!
@@user-im8gb3nj2c thank you

Why did they think letting him guard the immortal peaches was a good idea?😂

It was an intentional satirical scenery designed by the author of the book to reflect on the incompetence of the corrupted bureaucratic system of Ming Dynasty at that time. Brilliant question btw

A quick correction. When stone crossed the waterfall he was crowned 'Handsome Monkey King' I feel Sun Wukong would feel the handsome part is very important
Yes,because Wukong is very ugly.He hates when people says about his appearance.That’s why he names himself “Handsome Monkey King”.
I like the fact that he not only crossed out his own name in the book of the underworld, but all the other monkeys too. He has a sense of the common good, as long as it is the common good of monkeys.
Unfortunately it comes back to bite him when he has to deal with the Six-Eared Macaque
I've been an avid fan of Journey to the West since I was a baby. I haven't seen any English CZcams video on the Monkey King that successfully summarizes his origin story so well. Keeping in some important details, like how he wandered the lands for years before meeting with his first teacher Subhūti.
Please keep producing, I'm looking forward to your Journey to the West series. Take your time and make multiple videos, as Journey to the West is a huge epic and should be covered in full.
I checked the reaction from Black Myth Wukong I kinda disappointed that most western peoples don’t even know the classic legendary mythology characters like the Chinese monkey king Sun Wukong from Journey the west mythology and Hanuman the monkey god of Indian from Hindu mythology.
There’s a couple good ones…keep lookin 👍
Check out overly sarcastic productions multipart series on Journey to the West.
I even think that a movie should be made about wukong's adventures starring
Well, you still have to look more, because this one is also very inaccurate! You mentioned 'wandering the lands for years', yes, but there are much more.
Hercules VS Sun Wukong
The connections between Hercules and Sun Wukong are that both are mythological heroes who became enemies with gods and committed bad deeds (Hercules killed his family and Wukong constantly tricked the gods), leading to them redeeming themselves by going on a great quest (Hercules completing his 12 labours and Wukong going on a journey to the West to gather the Buddhist sutras, respectively), that ultimately let them ascend to godhood when completed.
"Bad deeds" Hercules didn't mean to and it was the gods fault. The Monkey King is just childish. He hasn't ever harm innocent mortals before.
Hercules became the god of strength right? But Wukong became a fighting buddha and gained omnipotence, I think he wins... jokes aside I think Wukong's absurd amount of abilities and stacks of immortality pulls him past Hercules. Plus even close to the start of Wukong's rampage he fought the whole army of Heaven, I don't think Hercules could do that in his mythology

I relate to you too be humble brother
Yup, I think everyone has some sun wukong in them.
i too am monke
he's suposed to be relatable as the "mind" in a great spiritual journey of buddist change
@@DanielGalllego oh yea lol, i forgot the whole story was Buddhist propaganda
I'm chinese.this version to introduce Wukong is very detailed and great that i see in youtube.but some points such as Wukong get his new skill HUOYANJINGJING(fire golden eyes which can Identify a demon disguised as a friend) in the stove.That is important if you want learn more about the west journey
the only badass monkey out there, this guy even remove his name from the book of the death, SO OP
Well he isn't the only one considering he was basically inspired from Hanuman
One of the biggest misconceptions about Sun Wukong is that he is a god of trickery. He is not a god. He is a demon
A demon who through a redemption journey, became enlightened and achieved Buddhahood. It highlights the idea that doesn’t matter who you are and how terrible your wrongdoing is, redemption is possible as long as you are willing to
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...
😂 He is not a demon too. You also misconception about him too. Everything after seems stupid too. 😂
@@gatsuwukong4010 But he is a demon.
@@nightowl548 no, he wasn't. He was born from a ball rock that is feeding from everything.
@@gatsuwukong4010 He was later known as a ‘yiawgwai’, aka ‘demon’ to translation, because he kept on screwing people’s stuff up.
this dude made a deal with death that death wouldn't steal his soul, ate a immortal fruit, immortal pills, and learned a technique to never age... this monkey going live forever
He also became one with the universe so he will always exist alongside Buddha... he really doesn’t want to die

You watch them I take my pride🙈🙈🙈🐒😈😈😈
from a motral to being a god and did what ever he wants
You missing something here, he became a god not because he did whatever he wanted. He became a god because he learned that he was not able to do whatever he wanted......he understood that rules exist even in heaven, rules of the Karma; rules of life and death, he accepted the reality of all that and became a sage and a god today.

@@miningthesilverlining4947 In chinese mythology the heaven , earth and Hell are not in other dimensions they are in earth but in different locations means the heaven is in the clouds ,then below them is the land on which humans lives and below the land you can find the land of fallen gods and demons (which we call hell).
And for your information in chinese mythology the gods are not immortals they are just extremely long living beings with supernatural powers but they can get old and die.
Also being able to travel between heaven and earth is not immortality.

"His magical rod could change sizes at his command. ..the size of a mountain, to the size of a pin"
And that, is how they say- is that .
Found my way here because of "Black Myth Wukong" can't wait till it comes out.
Just go to Barnes & Nobel and order The Journey to the West. It's a great book.
Same here. Gotta get that PS5
I fucking Love Sun wukong story so wish i was him straight up badass same time he put away his selfishness and pride to help other. Personally feel of the gods he worthy even more then them.
What makes Sun Wukong most likable is his courage to resist authority and refusal to yield to power.
Seems like no one has noticed that Monkey D. Luffy is also inspired from Sun Wukong.
Anyway, why was transforming into a certain tree considered an insult which resulted to being outcasted from the tutelage of Master Subhuti?
I think it's not that he transformed into a tree but he did so to just "showing off". That his behavior spelled problem (and it did).
Master Subhuti also forbided Wukong to ever mention him as his master.
@@quantranminh4553
I don't think the Master forbid him but Sun Wukong, himself, didn't reveal that he's under his tutelage. Didn't the Master come to rescue Wukong and ask the gods to hlbe understanding on him when the latter was about to be punished, thus introducing themselves as his master-disciple relationship?
@@kuyadong6791 pride is seen as a bad trait in Classical Chinese culture
It also him showing off would bring jealousy from other students if I remember correctly MK was only student who studied immortality .
A lot of shonen manga are inspired by Sun Wukong, except they almost always nerf the ever living shit out of his intelligence when adapting him into their character.
All of a sudden it has become extremely difficult to find decent videos explaining the actual mythology.

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.

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

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!
One of my favorite myths from around the world.
Great narration. It was really funny listening to Sun Wukong monkeying around haha
Like the narration very much ...
Thank you
The 72 transformation is basically unlimited but just gives him 72 lives and also he is literally 4x immortal
And this is where the Dragonball story comes from.
Thanks!
