If you can't understand the opening CG, you can think of it as:The Heavenly Court is like the CIA, and the monkey used to be a former mob boss. His mission to "go legit" involves delivering an important NPC to pick up some crucial items. After the job's done, they promise the monkey a spot in the system, but along the way, the monkey takes out quite a few of his old mob buddies. In the end, the monkey decides he doesn't want the spot anymore and just wants to retire to the mountains. The CIA, though, plans to kill him to tie up loose ends.

Erlang is a famous demi-god in Chinese mythology, his mother was the Jade Emperor’s sister and his father was a human, Yang Tianyou. He has a mortal name called Yang Jian. With his talent, Erlang became powerful above most gods, however his mother was punished and sealed under a mountain for uniting with a lowly mortal. He is known for saving his mother by cleaving the entire mountain open with a great axe (the one we saw in the game) and fought off everyone who stood in his way. After that, he overcame countless tasks and challenges and earned a rightful place in Tianting (The Heaven Court), as the three-eye warrior and the guardian of heaven at his uncle, the Jade Emperor’s side. Also, he keeps a hound called Xiaotian (name means Howling at the Sky). His weapons: Tri-Point Blade (polearm), Mountain Cleaver (axe), Blue Edge (sword), Golden Slingshot (fires tracking projectiles), and more.

To be fair, Wukong has always been portraited as having a high-pitch, obnoxious voice, to highlight his monkey traits. In the OG Journey to the West, Sun Wukong is a deeply flawed character, not meant to be flattering. I think the English VA did an ok job. I don't think chat would've enjoyed the Chinese VA either. There are a lot of western conventions that are simply not there in Chinese literatures.

[@ValCei]

i think the eng dub and sub are not bad at all. it retains almost most of the tonality and emotion. but like he said, i think we all should play in the language we want in order to understand what is a happening in the game. but i would recommend everyone to play it again with the original chinese audio, to fully experience the way the devs wants to convey.

[@arian6565]

Yeah of course, English dubs are always great because of the voice actors, who are mostly American, and America has the biggest and greatest acting industry ever especially because of Hollywood and the fact that we invented and revolutionized everything film and acting related.

[@arian6565]

@@ValCei this assumes that the Chinese voice over is the most optimal for conveying what the devs/author of this story intended, and that their intention of how they wanted him to sound like, portrays the most entertaining story for the audience. Which is just straight up wrong, other dubs and interpretations of the characters can always be better than the original, both for entertainment value to the story and for fitting the character/plot, which in most cases the English dub does way better than the "original" Japanese in Anime, especially in Anime with European settings and characters like Attack on Titan or Vinland Saga.

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.

[@GoldenCalfChannel]

This is not the case in the original work. Wukong is a small country that is forcibly ruled by the government using both soft and hard tactics. Just like Rome ruled Israel. Goku initially calls himself the Monkey King, and the government plans to lure him into becoming a lower-level government official (Animal Control Officer) and try to subdue his power to the government. Finally, Wukong realized that he was being perfunctory by the government and left the government. As a result, they were suppressed by force from the government. Later, Wukong was asked by the government to escort a senior official to complete the mission. Because the senior official made many unreasonable demands, Wukong once again resisted. As a result, Wukong was once again deceived by the government and put on an exquisite "crown". It turned out that this crown was a magic trap to control him. As a result, Wukong finally surrendered to the government, helped the government complete its mission, and was named a real official (Dou Zhan Sheng Buddha). The content of the game is contrary to the meaning of the original work. The game means that Wukong has not yet settled down after completing his government mission; in the original work, Wukong becoming a Buddha means that his mind has completely assimilated with the government.

Sun Wukong's 72 Transformations include abilities such as Penetrating the Underworld, Commanding Spirits, Carrying Mountains, Controlling Water, Borrowing Wind, Creating Fog, Praying for Clear Skies, Summoning Rain, Sitting on Fire, Entering Water, Covering the Sun, Riding the Wind, Breathing Flames, Swallowing Swords, Containing a World within a Bottle, Divine Speed, Walking on Water, Multiplication, Invisibility, Reattaching a Severed Head, Immobilizing Others, Slaying Demons, Summoning Deities, Chasing Souls, Summoning Clouds, Grabbing the Moon, Teleportation, Disassembling the Body, Storing Objects in a Staff, Stopping a Flow, Dispelling Calamities, Relieving Disasters, Transforming with a Finger, Shedding the Corpse, Shifting Scenery, Summoning Beasts, Riding on Clouds, Gathering Beasts, Commanding Birds, and Super Strength. The 72 Transformations is a mystical ability mastered by Sun Wukong, a central character in the Chinese classical novel Journey to the West. This technique allows Sun Wukong to transform into various forms, including humans, animals, plants, and even inanimate objects. The transformations are not limited to changes in appearance but also extend to alterations in abilities, enabling Sun Wukong to adapt to different environments and situations. The characteristics of the 72 Transformations include: Diversity of Transformations: Sun Wukong can use the 72 Transformations to change himself or others into any desired form, whether it be a human or a non-human entity. Wide Range of Transformations: He can transform into something long or short, large or small, male or female, old or young, and even into an invisible state. Powerful Transformative Abilities: Through the 72 Transformations, Sun Wukong can adapt to various environments, whether as a fish swimming in water, a bird flying in the sky, or any object within the heavens and earth. Sun Wukong's 72 Transformations are not only reflected in his ability to change into various forms but also in his use of these transformations to solve problems and face challenges. For instance, during his battle with Er Lang Shen, Sun Wukong transformed into a sparrow, a cormorant, a fish, a house, and even into Er Lang Shen himself to evade and confuse his opponent. The 72 Transformations represent not just changes in appearance, but also an expression of his capabilities and adaptability, making Sun Wukong an uncontainable hero in Journey to the West.

[@GoodCitizen-gm1tl]

In Chinese mythology (mostly from Taoism, also exist other schools), the heaven is a palace (Tiangong, also the name for the Chinese Space Station) where an imperial court for the Gods exists (mirroring the one in the human world in ancient China), the highest ruler is the Jade Emperor and the others are the divine officials with their individual duties, like weaving clouds by the 7 daughters of the Jade Emperor and The Thunder God using hammers to make thunder, the Dragon Kings from the four oceans (they inhabited in the North China Sea, South China Sea, East China Sea and West China Sea) making rains by going to the heaven from the oceans following the heavenly decree. Most of the Gods are not born Gods but humans or mortals originally who only obtained deity status via experiencing tremedous amounts of hardships, self-cultivation, devotion and hardworkingness. For example, the Jade Emperor was originally a mortal human called Zhang Bai Ren (literally Zhang Enduring Hundreds...), who had experienced 1,750 great catastrophies, each of which lasted 129,600 years, eventually he endured all of those hardships and practised Taoist self-cultivation and became the highest ruler of the heaven. Chinese Buddhism also had a system of Gods, who were integrated harmoniously into the ones from Taoism. In the integrated system, the Buddha is actually more powerful than the Jade Emperor, as Buddha is emptiness and emptiness is Buddha, it's a figure transcending existence and non-existence. In the beginning of the Journey To The West, Sun Wukong (the monkey king) wrecked a havoc to the heaven, leaving the Jade Emperor hiding in the corner asking his men to plead help from Buddha. Buddha then subsued Sun Wukong with his palm.

[@石凡-b3e]

The Jade Emperor is the supreme deity in traditional Chinese beliefs, and also the origin of the emperor's name "Tianzi", the son of heaven. In the original work, Sun Wukong did not enter the Lingxiao Palace, but only slightly alarmed the Jade Emperor. So, the Jade Emperor issued an order, ordering the Tathagata to come and suppress. The supreme deity of Taoism is the Ancestor of the Three Pure Ones, while the supreme deity of Buddhism is the Tathagata. However, there is a secular belief or folk belief in Chinese society, in which the Jade Emperor is the supreme deity of this belief system. In this mythological system, the gods and cultural elements of Buddhism and Taoism are absorbed. Jade Emperor, Erlang God, Empress Mazu of Fujian, Chenghuang Temple, etc. are secular beliefs. And Journey to the West is written based on folk beliefs. Many people are not familiar with Chinese folk beliefs and mistakenly believe that they are part of Taoism, but in reality they are not - although the two do have a certain degree of connection. In this regard, let alone people from other countries, even Chinese people, there are also many people who cannot distinguish the relationship and differences between folk beliefs and Taoism.

My partner is Chinese and seeing her get hyped from this intro and saying the Chinese names of the deities and the crown that sealed wukong with so much happiness like she was reliving a piece of her childhood was unreal. She was a bit disappointed the game deviated from the original story of journey to the west but it was nice anyways to know that a Chinese game company designed the game in a way that wasn't compromised by the west's brainwashed narratives. When I first came to China she showed me journey to the west and king fu hustle with her friends. It was a special memory and I love wukong for it, if this game was made by anyone else it would have been an assassin's creed situation

Guys, for ppl who don't understand the context: the first scene you have played is the real wukong. (The one in novel "journey to the west" and he finally accomplish the task with his peers and became one of the Buddha) the background of this game is happening after that, wukong back to his mountain and for some reason, the world (the God court and Buddha world, as well as the human world) was controlled by the demon and most of gods and Buddha were demonized (you will see a lot of boss are demonized Buddha and god). The real wukong realized that and tried to figure out the reason and you see the first scene. And looks like he failed and dead. Then, the main character you are playing after is not wukong, it's a similar kind of intelligent monkey to the real wukong, and he's trying to figure out the real reason of this demonized world (same as real wukong). And you will fight 81 bosses in this new journey and at the end find out what's going on. Even me don't know what the real ending of this story is.

small lore recap here, Wukong ultimately lost to Erlang here because of the golden circlet/restraining headband that reappeared on his head. It was originally placed onto him by buddha to help keep him in check on the journey to the west where if he acted out or misbehaved the priest guy he was protecting could chant an incantation causing the headband to tighten causing wukong extreme pain. He ultimately did complete his duty and finished the journey so this all took place after that, he was granted enlightenment and buddhahood and the restraining headband removed. Strange how it materialized on his head now almost as if Buddha himself cast down divine intervention which allowed Erlang to strike him down.

[@cocutou]

[@紙琴琴]

Sun Wukong was born from a stone crevice, making him a silicon-based lifeform, and thus, a member of a minority group. As a stone monkey, he is genderless and can be seen as a representative of the LGBT community. Additionally, as a monk, he is also a vegetarian. He created chaos in the underworld to prevent his fellow monkeys from being oppressed, showing that he is a noble animal rights activist. After being trapped under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years, suffering greatly, he gained a deep understanding of freedom, making him a liberal. He respectfully addresses women as "Goddess of Mercy," showing his support for women's rights, making him a feminist. His journey to extinguish the flames of Fire Mountain showcases him as a great environmental warrior. The storyline in the Kingdom of Women, involving male pregnancy and the allowance of abortion, further reflects a progressive stance on reproductive rights. Such a figure, embodying multiple attributes like minority status, LGBT identity, vegetarianism, animal rights activism, feminism, environmentalism, and liberalism, and with his 72 transformations piling on more and more buffs, how could anyone say he is politically incorrect?
