Black Myth Wukong Ch.6 Ending Cutscene In Depth Explained | True Ending & More

[Clarification]
I made a mistake in the [BMW All 5 cutscene] video, so I'm here to clear the record.
Journey to the West is a story that takes place in the Tang dynasty, but it is meant to satirize the Chinese bureaucracy back in the Ming dynasty, not the Tang dynasty. The author was born in the Ming dynasty and he wanted to use the past history to mock the times he lived in.

🐒Correction Scene #16 There's a mistake at 1:16:54. When I checked on the text at 1:17:00, I noticed I forgot to include the Chinese text in there. In Chinese, the Buddha says "a mere seven days on your mountains is A THOUSAND of year", but in the English translation it is "several thousands years". So if we go by the original language of the book, then it should be: 7 days (human realm) = 1000 years (Mount Lingshan), which translates to 1 day (human realm) = 142 years (Mount Lingshan) The Chinese tex: 如来道：“山中方七日，世上已千年。不知在那厢伤了多少生灵，快随我收他去。” Sorry my mind was gone while I was editing this video, and I am the Chinese who is bad at math. You got me. 🐒Afterword To all of you who is striving to achieve your goals in life, please remember: "Embarking on the journey to obtain the scriptures is more important than reaching Mount Lingshan." (踏上取经路，比抵达灵山更重要 -- FENG, Ji (CEO of Game Science) It is the journey that shapes us into who we are.

[@GL-iv4rw]

What's the difference between yaoguai and yokai?

[@shadower227]

Its about the Journey not the destination ✨ Wu Kong coudlve just yeeted Tang San Zang to Ling Shan with his nimbus cloud, but he wouldn't have went through yhe 81 trials where they truly leanr and grow from their hardships. I guess its also a representation of shortcuts to success isnt necessarily a great option all the time because this success is often short lived, and cannot sustain for long. Like ahem* ahem* incompetent leaders who got their role via nepotism

[@shadower227]

​@@GL-iv4rwyokai has roughly the same meaning as demons or monsters as with Yao Guai. BUT, the connotation of what is a monster in Japan and their lores may differ from Chinese. Iirc, for Yokai, Human beings can become them due to their unhealthy obesessins

[@MisterNukular]

@@shadower227 Actually, that is a question Zhu Bajie asks Wukong somewhere between Chapters 20 to 30. Wukong, Bajie, Sandy and the Dragon Horse have celestial bodies, and are basically equal to the elements, so traveling for example with the somersault cloud does nothing for them. For humans however it is deadly, because humans have mortal and physical bodies and therefore cannot endure such methods of travel. Tripitaka HAS to travel by foot.

This video of yours telling us the lore of Blackmyth Wukong is actually helped me in understanding most of its stories. Many thanks.

Erlang was like, "Oh no!!! not today!!!"

Btw I like how confident you sound here, and more expressive. Compared to the last video which was still really good, you seem much more comfortable now! This keeps the video really entertaining

[@jonnyplasma4321]

Im in love! Thank you so much for the work on the videos. I have read the book a few years back, and super glad the game came out as i found any of the TV adaptations i watched a bit too camp. The darkness in the book is subtle, but effective.

[@TrapHouseGamersENT]

Thank you for your videos! I've beat the game 3x and watching your video gave me a better understanding of the game and the lore! Can't wait for the DLC i don't want these videos to end!

[@SergioHernandez-le8wp]

I've been REALLY looking forward to this video!

[@NYH_WU238]

Hey Yugene, you know the theme you mentioned that reminded you of your childhood at 1:40:36? I'm pretty sure that Game Science had actually paid homage to this theme. In the game, if you accumulate the maximum focus points needed for the wukong stance whilst having the full wukong armour set equipped, the destined one will plant the staff down, extend it high up in the air and slam down three times. When this animation is triggered, that theme song you mentioned actually plays. If you don't believe me, find this video: Black Myth Wukong - MAX LEVEL 342 Vs Bosses++++ NG+++ Gameplay (NO DAMAGE) (the thumbnail has the destined one against the yaksha king) and go up to the 20 second mark. I'm pretty sure that is the theme mentioned. Also, really enjoyed this video. It was very interesting and fun to watch, especially when you made the joke about Spider-Ham!

[@yugenelhc]

I get the skill that you are saying, oh I was just not sure if that's from the 1996 JTTW. Lately I have been rewacthing the 1996 and 1998 JTTW, and I noticed the opening of the game is the same as the opening for the 1996 JTTW: Wukong going against the Celestial court and soldiers by himself

[@Bunny11344]

@@yugenelhc😂 thanks for clarifying there’s two diff series to JTTW. I watched it when I was a kid so I had no idea there was a sequel. I remember I thought the monk (in the second one) was very handsome and when I watched the first episode it was the first series and I was like wow the monk looks very feminine I had no idea there were two diff actors

[@Raitair]

I rarely watch 1 hour length vids unless it really has my interest or if the commentary/documentary of the video is really well done, which in this case yours is really great! Now I know the context of those cutscenes while also having a few newly found knowledge from some cultural lessons.

[@R3TR0923]

28:01 there's a thing about those fruits in the movie; Monkey King Reborn, it goes like this: "The fruit of the ginseng fears the five elements you see, it drops when metal appears, rots when wood appears, dissolves when water appears, burns when fire appears, and when the earth appears, it goes beneath"

[@lansedoes4738]

This was a great summary of the Journey To The West story! Thank you so much for making this 😄

[@Ragssssss]

Finally good ending video from you. Which is also longer than an hour, very well explained. Glad I came across this channel. Keep going!

[@LeSpicey]

Wooooo! Been looking forward to this video. I started reading Journey to the West, and found translations for the additional books that served as inspiration for Game Science. I just have one remark regarding Erlang. I’ve seen many people say that he was always part of Wukong’s plan, but to me, it felt more like he didn’t know until he beat Wukong and took the Mind relic with him. Only then did he start gaining awareness of Wukong’s true intentions, and how they align with his. So what makes you think he was always part of Wukong’s plan?

[@prodbyRafa7]

Would you consider making a series of thorough tellings and analyses of Journey and other Chinese mythology? I’ve always been interested, but the books are thousands of pages and I just don’t have time for that. But I would have time to listen while washing the dishes and you seem to very well versed in the culture. I think many people here would show up

[@hocolin9601]

May I suggest a 2023 movie : Creation of the Gods I: Kingdom of Storms It is the first to a soon to be released trilogy, about the mythology of 封神榜.

[@yugenelhc]

Maybe I will do an introduction video of The Investiture of the Gods. Nezha, Erlang, Lijing and a nine tailed fox are in it. It takes place many many years before Wukong's birth. Yea Nezha is old, don't get fool by his handsome and youthful look

[@carlossuzara6161]

[@ZeroOmega-vg8nq]

Erlang- Why am i hearing some jingle.? wukong birb- Bird hub boy!

[@iPlayOnSpica]

I was wondering why Chapter 6's true ending animation was left out in your other video covering the first 5 chapters' ending animations, but I'm actually glad to have sat through the entire 1h45m in one sitting and listening to all this. Very enlightening summary of JTTW, thank you.

[@Inumaru08]

Indonesian watched 1996, 1998 & God of Honour too! Although the local version title wasn't Journey to the West but "The Mighty Monkey King" and localized cool intro/opening with a rap. Those 3 are my first gate for Journey to the West & playing Black Myth Wukong sent me to that childhood.

1:43:53 Well, he lives up the title of "Handsome Monkey King" it seems

[@yugenelhc]

Yep, the actor Dicky Cheung said in an interview: "Most actors really focus on portraying a successful Monkey King, but it seems like no one portrays the image of another title from the original book, the Handsome Monkey King. So, the production company wanted me to also emphasize the 'handsome' aspect in my portrayal.

[@slicksta2006]

I think the first scene in the chapter 6 animation when wukong puts the bowl down, is actually not the present (it's just wukong and not the destined one with wukong's memories). It is actually right before the game starts when wukong vs Erlang. I'm just confused, how do we know this is the destined one after beating the game and not a flash to where sun wukong storms the celestial gates after his people were killed? (beginning of the game before we take on Erlang and the headband appears.)

[@Farid.J6261]

Thank you for your hard work and such a detailed explanation. I really appreciate it.

[@TommyAdhyasaSuramardhana]

Your elaboration related to the game is so good... In addition you add the context from the book and tv series. The JTTW 1996 is my favorite childhood series. It is so memorable since I need to secretly watch the series from my mother (she prohibited me since the series is aired at night lol - I live in Indonesia). I just learned that the actual JTTW have more darker story rather than the JTTW 1996 series. Thanks a lot, I watch your video from the start to the end. Anyway, I'm in the last chapter of BMW 😁. Wish me luck fighting Erlang Shen.

[@yugenelhc]

Yea 1996 JTTW is like our comfort show. Good luck in the final chapter

I watched the 1986 and 1996 version back in the 90s. This videos really brings me back a lot of good memories back then. Wonderful recap and suddenly all these stories come rushing back piece by piece hahah

[@matthewkrambeer2480]

After my initial playthrough of the game I read all of Journey to the West. It was nice remembering all of the stories as I watched your video. I especially appreciate the clarification about where the game differs from the book, especially in regard to Lady White Bone. I can understand why the Chinese don't like how the game changed it. That story is one of the most frustrating in the whole journey! After everything Wukong does to protect Tang Sanzang, how can he not trust Wukong?
