Black Myth Wukong - Streamers Reaction To The Opening Intro Of The Game (My Gameplay at the End)

[@tictactaker1]

Always find it hilarious when people see Wukong on the cloud and say it references dragon ball Z. Yet Journey to the west where Wukong first appeared was written in the 16th century. It's dragon ball z (written in the 20th century) that references Wukong

Or another website I saw could be wrong when it said "Journey to the West was first published in 1592 with the Chinese title Hsi Yu Ki" Or the Journey to the West Wiki that said "Journey to the West (西遊記) is a Chinese novel published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty and attributed to Wu Cheng'en.

[@ChenChen-ii9gh]

some little background story about the game intro characters. Start with sun wu kong. A monkey born from a rock, and the rock was one the materials which is used by another very very very ancient chinese god to fix the hole of the sky. Sun wu kong lived with other monkey in the mountian for a while and realise he need immotality to continue his happy free life. So he went a way to find a teacher to teach him that. Eventually he found the teacher and learnt his immotality and other skills. After that he returned and rob the dragon lord of east china sea and get the stick/staff. The weapon Sun wu kong use is used to be called the sea stablizer. It weighted 6750 kg and can transform to any size and any lenght. Sun Wu Kong normmally shrink the stick and hide it in his ear. The robbery caused a big chaos in the sea and pissed off the gods and finally turn them into war. The monkey was so powerful and no god and fight with him except the guy with 3 eyes. Finally the Sun Wu Kong was defeated by Buddha and burried under the mountain for 500 years as punishment until Tang San Zang which is his master(ShiFu) released him and start the journey to the west. After the journey to the west, Sun Wu Kong was granted The victorious fighting buddha. The guy with 3 eyes : One of the most powerful fighter among gods. He used to use an Axe to destory a mountian to save his mother who is prisoned under it. During the war between Sun Wu Kong and the gods, he is the only one beat the monkey in combat. His pet ( the black dog) also refferd as The moon eater. 4 giants: The four gate keepers of the gods realm. They were defeated by Sun Wu Kong once before during the war. The biggest giant: The god which is known by his size. Looks strong but pretty weak in the book of Journey to the west. The ring on Sun Wu Kong 's head : It is given by Guan Yin to Tang San Zang to decipline sun wu kong at the beginning of the journey to the west. When Tang San Zang cast a spell the ring will shrink. After the journey to the west the ring was released and taken back by Buddha. The pig: One of the other 3 companies in the journey to the west. Used to be a god but got kicked out because he break the law. When he become mortal his soul accidently processd into a pig which cause him has a pig head and human body. In the book of Journey to the west he was often known as lazy, greedy, easy to give up, big mouth. All those stories may not be 100% accurate but most of them are commonly know in China. Hope this can help you guys understand the story.

As a Chinese who read, listened and watched so many interpretations of some of the scenes, the feelings of watching the "real" speed of "flipping through cloud and riding the fog" (腾云驾雾) is quite different from someone who never imagined such movements.

[@flameofthegame]

As a European who really likes Chinese mythology ,them saying stuff like "oh goku " it breaks my heart , Journey to the West is such a good story .One last thing i hate is that people expected him to have a lower voice and sound more mature ,meanwhile my boy Wukong is the embodiment of a troll ,they nailed the voice acting .

Dragonball actually took a lot of bits from Journey to the West and was inspired by it( The story about Wu Kong) because in Dragonball Goku's name in Kanji is Sun Wu Kong, which is the same name as Wu Kong in Journey to the West. So Dragonball about the monkeys, Saiyan, Nimbus, the three eyed guy and some other stuff actually all came from this. Heres a real life Wukong from Journey to the west . kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKvJhqmjrb-XmrMsi=az8Q3HaUbpZjRlR7

[@张哲源-y9b]

I think it is necessary to point out the most important but most easily overlooked core of Journey to the West, which is the satire on power and the struggle against fate. This is written very clearly in the book.

[@yonight6871]

"Journey to the West" is one of China's four great classics. It is a mythological masterpiece with a history of hundreds of years. This novel has influenced the entire Asia. Japan's Dragon Ball was inspired by China's "Journey to the West". The prologue of the game comes from the 1986 TV version of "Journey to the West". If you are interested, you can read it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4GxoXWfraqSibc

This game directly from legend journey to the west. There story why sun wukong against the heavens. He was tricked by the Jade Emperor into watching over the horses, the Monkey King was infuriated by this humiliating act and rebels, proclaiming himself the Great Sage, Equal of Heaven and sets the Cloud Horses free in vengeance. Sun Wukong later single-handedly defeated the Army of Heaven's 100,000 celestial warriors, all 28 constellations, four heavenly kings, Nezha the god of protection, and proves himself equal to the best of Heaven's generals, Erlang Shen. Eventually, through the teamwork of Taoist and Buddhist forces, including the efforts from some of the greatest deities, and then finally by the Bodhisattva of mercy, Guanyin, Sun Wukong is captured.

It’s a way less punishing experience than games like Dark Souls for sure. You can farm XPs and resources to level up if you can’t beat a boss. And you don’t lose anything if you die.

Nimbus is gone 3. the monkey tail and transformation has been gone for years The character "Goku" has long left the shadows of Wukong

@@R1kual It's the same as removing Sun from Wukong. I'm not disagreeing with you that the DBZ Goku should no longer be directly tied to Wukong. But people should not discount the fact that Goku by itself is Wukong's Japanese name.

The golden hoop given by Buddha to Tang Monk (Tang Seng) was used to subdue Wukong and protect him during his journey. It had a mantra on it, and when Tang Monk chanted it, it would become tight and give Wukong a headache. According to the novel, after Wukong finished his journey, Buddha had removed the golden hoop and gave Wukong his freedom.

Many people, including those in chat and streamers themselves, call riding the cloud is "Goku style". No, it is actually the other way around, Goku riding the cloud is the Wukong style. I mean it is so obvious, how can a story which was written in the 1500s "copy" the style of something was written in the 1980's right?

其實這是因為，亞洲這邊的思想會說，無論是貓咪/狗狗/猴子，只要能活夠久就會成為妖怪獲得智慧，其中某些與神交好的就有機會被神明收為部下，這就跟開場動畫中神明旁邊的狗一樣，這隻狗稱為「哮天犬」，其中「哮」這個字有很多解讀，我把他解讀為其「叫聲驚人」連天上的神明都會被驚嚇到。 亞洲的神祉不是只有一個，並不是像基督教信奉耶穌一樣，而是一個成體系的系統，每個神明各司其職，而其中也會有利益糾葛與仇恨糾葛就是了。

[@納豆1029]

而這個故事的前傳，就是西遊記的部分，孫悟空協助法師拿到經書教化人民，照理來說已經有了神明的位置，但是悟空掛念凡間的朋友，所以才去跟神明爭論，為何要欺壓凡間的朋友。
