Legends Summarized: The Journey To The West (Part V)

[@briansanders8122]

My favorite part is how Monkey's more concerned about looting some magic items than rescuing the party, and then his hard-cheated loot turned out to be quest items.

[@evelynred3741]

Think about it, if Wukong rescues his party before looting, and the monster calls "Pigsy/Sandy/Tang Monk". It will be the end of the story ;)

[@riverstyx7251]

In his defense you should always gear up as much as possible before a boss fight. Only a pleb would hear about the insanely powerful magical items and demon army the enemy has and decide to March in with just the clothes on their back. I don’t think a staff can beat a magic melting trap gourd and vase.

SANDY 👏 IS 👏 BEST 👏 GIRL 👏! This man- This _absolute unit_ endured Pigsy being the annoying doo doo that he is, and only passed mild threats and insults in his direction, not even that dire- *AND THEN HE JUST HOPS OUT OF THE CAVE, AND WRECKS AN ENTIRE ARMY.* This man broke a vase by accident, and was turned into a demon, was beaten *eight hundred times* with a rod, every day, seven swords are sent to stab this poor man in the chest (which is why he lived in the river), and even though he was re-incarnated as a people-eater, he was still the kindest, most polite out of the three disciples. Also, reminder, as Pigsy said, _they never actually beat him_ . This guy is the only rational person in the group, big, mostly nice, really strong, and did probably a lot less wrong than any of the others. Sandy is best girl.

Honestly I respect the older demon brother. He clearly knows when he’s outmatched, he cares about his brother and mourns him when he dies, and responding to monkey’s call just shows that he cares about his army, which is unusual for a big bad. 10/10 gotta be one of the most honourable villains.

[@bluesbest1]

He was also inclined to skip the whole mess by letting the captives go, sparing everyone from Monkey. The only reason why he didn't was because he didn't want to make his brother feel bad.

[@PartyDemoman]

For those who haven't read the book, at 8:15, Monkey is afraid of his duplicates being burned because the duplicates are just his hairs with a bunch of magic on them. So if they get destroyed by fire, the hair is gone. He has a lot of hair, but he still doesn't want to lose any.

I just rewatched all of these last night. This hiatus makes it feel even more like an actual anime.

[@xavierreichel8254]

So right.

[@snoopsq.527]

So here’s what I’ve gathered: Monk Boi: The main character, but not really. Sandy: Underutilized, but can be pretty cool when allowed. Piggsy: *HOLY CRAP THIS GUY SUCKS* Horse/Dragon: Even more underutilized than Sandy. Monkey King: The actual main character and the only one who seems to get any actual development. Carries the entire team. Has a fleshed out backstory unrelated to the main plot. The only reason these clowns haven’t died to a hungry demon. Starting to see why Monkey King is the poster-boy of this story.

[@Striker775]

Sandy is less underutilized, and actually more cunning/lazy than you would think. Keep in mind that when introducing these characters, they all fought to a standstill. Sandy was confirmed to be on par with the other disciples, but Sandy and Pigsy contributed the least on the journey. Sandy's excuse would be: "If the monkey can do it, let him do it. If the monkey can't do it, surely I can't do it." This is why *spoilers* only Monk Boi and Monkey were elevated to the status of Buddha by the end of the journey, Pigsy and Sandy's rewards were significantly lesser.

[@user1029xspl8dy]

Striker775 Sandy was rarely lazy/cunning; his character just didn’t go through as much spiritual growth as Wukong and Tripitaka. He started and ended as the level-headed peacemaker of the team, and he was also considered the least powerful of the 3 disciples. Still, being an all-around accountable sidekick unlike his asshat friend Piggsy meant that his final ascension to the status as arhat, while not as nice as Wukong and Tripitaka’s Buddhahood, was far better than Piggsy’s promotion to “altar cleaner.”

It's a Chinese cartoon called 西游记 or Journey to the West and it's AMAZING! Idk if there are any English subtitles and stuff, but here's the link to the one I watch. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5zChINooql8aMU

I feel it’s worth mentioning here that during the whole “dropping three mountains on him” thing, the first two do absolutely nothing. While carrying Mount Sumeru and Mount Emei, he is able to “run with the speed of a meteor.”

[@evelynred3741]

I don't know how the translated version says, but *Tripitaka is the type of leader that favours flattering employees over the smartest ones.* Before the white bone spirit, the conflict has been building ever since Tripitaka trick Wukong about the cursed hat. From Tripitaka's perspective, the Dragon Horse and Sandy were subdued by GuanYin, while Wukong was a trouble-maker (more conflicts within the chapters that you skip). Meanwhile, Pigsy wants to replace Wukong's place, because their relationship in Chinese traditional culture, despite being similar to brothers, Wukong as the oldest disciples has status over Pigsy and will likely gain a higher rank after they complete the journey. The wood wolf star is the first demon who shows the squad that how powerless Pigsy and Sandy are compared to Wukong. That is also why the first thing Wukong did after he returned to the squad was to regain leadership by sending Pigsy to scout and proved that he was too lazy to do anything useful. Your artwork is really cute, but I don't know how to think about the subtle shipping of Tripitaka and Wukong 😂

Sun wukong reminds me of an rpg character doing every sidequest. "So you're telling me there are five sacred treasures?" "Yes." "I'm gonna go steal them all." "Uuuuuuuuuh... alright."

[@daphnecui4595]

I love this series so much! BTW it does make sense for the demons to have a mother (and other relatives). The book does not clarify if she is their real mother or adopted mother, but it makes sense either way: The golden rope is actually Lao Zi's belt, and it's in the fox's possession, hinting that she and Lao Zi had a past; or, considering the demons are actually children (in demon/god time), it makes sense for them to have someone to look after them . She might be taking care of them even before they became Lao Zi's apprentices.

[@FlameQwert]

that explains why the brothers weren't all too hung up on their "mother's" death

[@Torannn]

daphne cui well in the first show, it stated that the mother tricked the 2 to follow her.

Also note that Inuyasha is just a reprise of this story. Literally, through and through. Inuyasha is Sun Wukong, Kogami (a reincarnation of the most virtuous shrine priest EVER) is the monk. The cast is an exact duplicate of this ones. It's actually pretty badass lol.

[@emilyb5307]

Loki Scarlet My question is WHY it still works with the wrong name haha! What would happen if you used someone else's name - would you be sucked in or would they?

[@LokiScarletWasHere]

It works because it's not name-based. It works on the same principle as Transmission Control Protocol. You call out to the other person. This is a synchronize request, or SYN. They acknowledge your request. This is a sync-acknoledgement, or SYN-ACK. The gourd acknowledges the verbal handshake. After this ACK, the gourd decides the payload of the conversation will be "IMMA EAT YOU" and sucks up the target who responded to you.

[@LokiScarletWasHere]

And if you use someone else's name, it doesn't matter. Wukong tested this mechanic. It works by acknowledgement, not by names.

[@emilyb5307]

Loki Scarlet Yes, but by that logic, if you used someone's actual name, and both of you responded to the call, then which would be affected? How does the artifact distinguish intended targets?

[@LokiScarletWasHere]

Little too far into it, dude.

[@caridadchang7895]

MozillaVulpix in Naruto they even have 3 of the 5 secret treasures, it is actually a really good reference

[@sammyjay4324]

They actually have 4 of the items, with them missing just the vase, which makes sense in terms of usage. The gold brother uses the rope and fan while the silver brother uses the gourd and sword.

3:12 fun fact, those three mountains? All three of them pull Atlas duty-holding up the sky. And Wukong just carried two, one on each shoulder before the third pinned him

[@theendersmirk5851]

So essentially he's somewhere between 2 and 3 cardinal titans strong at a minimum (since before Atlas carried the sky the job was split between 4 titans who lived in the cardinal directions, one of whom I believe was either Atlas's father or grandfather. Since theirs was not a punishment, unlike Atlas's case, presumably they were able to move more, accurately matching Wukong's ability to sprint at meteor speeds while carrying 2/3rds of Atlas's burden.)

[@Alphapkmn]

Could also be interpreted as “it takes THREE SEPERATE INFINITIES to hold Wukong down.”

[@matthewfernandez2698]

Monkey's ludicrous use of his immortality, divine summoning, duplication and shapeshifting in this episode convinced me that this entire story is like playing through a game with console commands enabled.

[@VirtualnomadVirtualnomad]

* Tripitaka symbolize morality and spirituality, which makes sense since he's quite naive and helpless in real world circumstances. * Wukong managed to turn himself from a normal monkey into a deity. He's hard working, quick to action, extremely curious and quick witted. But his demise is his pride and arrogance, he challenged all the deities and even Buddha himself, thus was brought down by humility. * Pigsy is basically all the base instincts. He's the symbol of sloth, gluttony and lust in a one body. His laziness, eating habits and getting tricked by good looking women pretty much shows how basic urges can ruin people's lives like obesity, alcoholism, cheating on your spouse etc. But he also shows kindness and compassion at times, and cares for his wife. The whole story feels like a large allegory of Buddhist teachings of following the middle path. Each extremes have their own virtue and demise.

[@jasonnung2645]

@@johnt2642 Yes, that is correct. The in-text mythology states that Sun Wukong was born out of a magical rock on the flower and fruit mountain. That however does not mean that there are no deeper interpretations of what each of the characters symbolizes, particular when one considers the "Journey to the West" as an allegorical tale of a "journey" to reach enlightenment.
