Sandy: The Mediator
Pigsy: The Idiot
The dragon: The horse
Pigsy: The incompetent idiot
@@alexjosephluther6317 What about Mario, and Princess Beach?
You know, maybe it's obvious, and I never really did figure this out until just now, but I think it's incredibly fitting that the seemingly "useless" member of the team is the Human Will.
Think about it. It's only in this moment, when the entire team is broken and disbanded from sheer incompetence and preposterous gullibility that the Human Will shines. It gets off its ass, shows its true strength, and pulls the team back together by forcing Pigsy, basically the representation of Human Desire (thus being a pig and gluttonous), to prostrate to Monkey, the Human Mind. Because it is the power of Will and Mind that overcomes Gluttony and Desire. Hell, it's *why* the dragon constantly retains his form as a horse and NEVER does something like "solve all of the group's problems such as with travel by simply flying them over rivers". At least as far as I can tell with this video series.
The reason the horse is kinda useless? Because Human Will, in and of itself, is not something that can just do everything on its own. It NEEDS the other parts of the Human Being to function. The Mind, Desire... all of that. But at the end of the day, it is what carries the Human forward. It is Human Will that moves us along our paths, whatever that path may be.
That is extremely profound
Yes quite compelling
That’s actually super profound
Wait, so what does that make sandy?
@@saturndotnet Kind of ignored by the others, has to hold things together when the Mind, Desire and Enlightenment are having a fight and Will is busy doing the whole one-foot-in-front-of-the-other thing, fairly good relationship with Mind, Desire, Will AND Enlightenment... The Human Body?
*Summarizing the main characters of Journey to the West*
Sun Wukong: The most powerful character and usually the only one able to find a way to stop the villain of the week.
Tripitaka: The gullible cinnamon roll who gets kidnapped every other day.
Pigsy: The self-proclaimed rival of the most powerful character, who's a prideful idiot that usually causes more trouble than he solves.
Sandy: The 'Kakashi' of the group; always has to fight and get beat by this weeks villain and is one of two members of the group who has any common sense.
Horse: Generally only seen in the background, one of two members of the group with common sense, is rarely ever spotlighted, but when he is, he is usually used as a Deus Ex Machina
Sandy is more of a Sakura than a Kakashi. He's the heart and completely useless.
LOL
Deus ex equo
@@ranacroak9156 So this actually translates as God of the horse, and I find that hilarious. The phrase, not the error.
Wukong= Inuyasha (powerhouse on the team, the only one who can kill the monster of the week)
Tripitaka= Kagome (Spiritual powers, controls the powerhouse with a piece of jewelry that they have no idea how to remove)
Piggsy= Miroku (Loves women a little too much, could not be made today)
Sandy= Sango (Last one to join the team, pretty cool but doesn't get enough badass scenes, most common sense)
Horse= Kilala (The bus that the team occasionally rides)
Sun Wukong continuously gets better at acting as the wives of demons; the Series(tm)
Moneky trap?
NeoAsteria true
*Thor wants to know your location.
Sun Wukong: The original trap.
Rumor has it that Bugs Bunny once called him sensei.
It's like when you have only one strong Pokemon in your team.
when you take your starter off the team
Holy crap Tripitaka is a Pokemon trainer!
Sun Wukong=Infernape
Pigsy=Emboar
Sandy=...???
Dragon Horse=Kingdra
@@CJCroen1393 Sandy=Blastois?
@@GoodNeutralEvilChaos That works! Let's go with that!
In that case, put it first and go to the victory road and kill everything.
The grand pappy of all anime is a Chinese folk tale.
Well, it was more of a book starring characters from folk tales. But sure, it counts as a folk tale.
got dang chinese cartoons
The same could be said about Modern Fantasy and Beowulf.
So basically Sandy is Picollo, Pigsy is Krillin and Sun Wu Kong is Vegeta
@@trunks7541
No. Sun Wukong is Goku, Tripataka is Bulma, Pigsy is Oolong, Sandy is Yamcha, and the Dragon is Puar. If you had actually watched the original Dragon Ball, you would know this.
I love sandy so much. I’m about to do a on art project, and I’m basing it of the Journey to the West crew. Only problem is that no one can agree on what sandy is supposed to look like, so I guess I will use your design since it is pretty great. Also, there is a bit you missed. The reason the demon kidnapped the princess was because she lost her memories when she reincarnated, but he didn’t.
I know this is a bit late, but the novel actually describes what Sandy looks like. See the latter part of my article here.
journeytothewestresearch.wordpress.com/2018/03/24/the-origins-and-evolution-of-sha-wujing/
another beautiful story as it sounds
With how he never wins a fight it sounds like he looks like Yamcha.
@@sortingsock720 Yamcha literally was based on Sandy.
This is so late but theres plenty of movies out there ;-;
"Wait, if you eloped, why did you kidnap her when she incarnated?"
"Why did she want to be rescued?"
"What even IS your relationship?!"
I cracked up laughing reading this.
She forgot him after become a human being
I'm still stuck on the fact that SHE HAS DEMON KIDS?!
I believe in Chinese folk tales, when god godown to live in human realms, they have to reborn as human, but some minus gods will lose memories, in this case the male remember their relationship, but the female doesn’t, I am guessing that’s why.
@@crowfelo I think killing your kids goes a tad beyond BDSM
@@Meepantor i'm just worried if she consent to have these children
Tripitaka: about as useful as a sack of potatoes
Wukong: Actually has a brain, also completely overpowered
Pigsy: stupid
Sandy: Also has a brain, much calmer
Horse: useless until he's not
It's more like Pigsy is just "asshole". He does most of this to get Wukong in trouble, like a jealous younger brother.
Pigsy just braggy 😂
The fact that Pigsy is called "The Idiot" in the book doesn't help
3:49
Wukong: So let me get this straight: Someone busted into my home while I was gone, destroyed my shit, and is routinely evil enough to deserve whatever the hell might come next to them?
Monkeys of Flower-Fruit Mountain: Uhhh...yes?
Wukong: .......ehehehehhehehehehehehehHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH *HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*
If i was wukong i would abandon the quest , reunite with my monkey people and seek revenge on erlang for destroying my mountain
Tea Serpent cool
So basically Wukong is Immortal Monkey John Wick
@@neodonovandragoncareyblade257 lol they are buddies now
Ultimate me after what he did to his home I would’ve sought retribution
7:35 "...but he's clearly outclassed and has to run after his leg gets injured."
*WHAT LEG?!*
this is late, but dragons in chinese mythology have legs. google it. Im assuming that the reason he dont have legs is just reds stylistic choise from when she first started this series, and that choise didnt translate well to this episode.
@@guggelguggel7491 Next question: Why would a hurt *_leg_* make a flying creature incapable of fighting?!
Ok, I get it. Probably the dragon just decided to get the heck out of there before anything more vital would break too.
@@pRahvi0 most likely.
@@pRahvi0 because that's his role as the group's disappointment
pRahvi0 from what I can recall dude’s also a prince. So yeah basically he just bitched out somehow.
Bro when Sun Wukong keeps getting accused of being wrong it’s so relatable??? Like, when you KNOW you were right and doing the right thing but you just get hurt
Unfortunately, shit like this happened for quite a few times during the journey.
@@haohaozheng2888 damn... Why didn't the god that is basically the person they phone in any time things go majorly wrong explain that Sun Wukong can see through a demons disguise
@@Sarah12471 sometimes the demon is not related to Kuan Yin or an escapee from the Heaven so I guess it might be too awkward to ask them for help.
@@haohaozheng2888 Fair enough, but it seems there is just a bit of misunderstanding on how much of his stuff wukong knows about demons, and i mean it would just be handy too just ask her after calling her for help with some random demon they would have asked her for help with anyways... Does that make any sense or am i just being really dumb as apposed to standard?
@@Sarah12471 I think it’s sort of costly to ask Kuan Yin to help. I recall in the novel Kuan Yin said she wanted the three golden leaves she gave to Monkey back when Monkey asked her to subdue Red Boy. And Monkey rejected the proposal. That being said, there were also bargains between Monkey and Kuan Yin / Heaven / Buddha on the way about who’s right / wrong in the disputes (between Monkey and Monk) and work allocations etc. once Kuan Yin / Heaven / Buddha were asked by Monkey to step in the case. Monkey turned out to be a good negotiator...
At least do the bit when drinking from a river makes them pregnant.
Emmy de Jong ????????
@@Abi-we6ur Yeah What??????????????????????
I love how he never elaborates it just adds more mystery
The mystery continues
We'll never know…
Sandy: I'm going to kill that pig.
Pigsy: Sandy is going to kill me.
Me: Monkey's going to kill you both for letting Tripitaka get kidnapped again!
Sandy was trying, at the least he seems to be the most level headed of the group
Sandy’s like that chill dude in the group project who’s trying to do his part
Sandy is the one Monkey trust the most when it comes to protecting Tripitaka Ig. In the book, Monkey says to him to disobay their masters orders and to use Monkeys name in vein. And to tell Demons he's (Monkey) still traveling with them if they ever get problems with thise again.
So, yeah. This just shows how he still was concernt about their safty even after being kicked out.
2:15 The spell is the lyrics of All Star
2:45 The spell is Never Gonna Give You Up
3:27 It's the Steven Universe intro song
Does.... that mean we just got rick rolled?
The Owl Lover Videos
Yes
@@ForeverFallingCrescent oh
Oh
*OH MY GOD*
The Owl Lover Videos yes
Dammit that was clever
Hundred Flowers Shame(百花羞) got her name from being so beautiful that flowers bowed their heads in shame when next to her.
That's pretty sad when you think about it. Flowers die when near her
ohhhh. I thought it was due to shame times 100 from being deflowered by a demon.
Beautiful
So Red made an accurate drawing of her because she is waifu material, not like guan yin levels of waifu material (this rendition made her super cute), but waifu material nonetheless
The horse, BaiLongMa (White Dragon Horse) actually does do something plot relevant again in the story, in case anyone's wondering. The actual reason he burnt down his dad's palace was because his wife was cheating on him with this nine-headed demon dude, JiuTouChong, who used to be his friend. The group goes back to his ocean home (don't ask how he burnt down an underwater palace) and Wukong, Pigsy, and Dragon Horse basically fight with the nine-headed guy, completely annihilate the palace, kill everyone and get Dragon Horse's wife arrested or something. So yeah. Wanton destruction and unnecessary violence, whoop whoop.
I remember that episode about the jiutouchong! (the cartoon) i didn't know he was cheated on. that's pretty cool, ... the fighting part.
On a completely unrelated note, did you notice that San Zang's migraine spell thing is actually the lyrics to Somebody Once Told Me? Pause at 2:16 and you'll see. It's weird.
@@sir_shiba1201 *All star
@@sir_shiba1201what? Its All Star not Somebody Once Told me.
You disappoint me by not knowing that
sir_shiba .... so then the horse CAN swim...
Then why is every river such a challenge to cross?
Wukong: *prevents Tripitaka's death three times*
Tripitaka: nah fam, you did bad
Pigsy took advantage of Tripitaka being a bit too gullible this time around
I do think Tripitaka does learn a bit from this
TH-cam: Psst hey kid! Want some drugs?
Me: Yeah sure. What's it called?
TH-cam: OSP.
Me: Alright i'll take some.
Plz help i'm addicted to these videos.
I'm addicted to. It's the new addiction. Well, at least unlike drugs, it doesn't harm you that much? (Unless its preventing you from getting your work done)
Ware Edmondson *glances at barely done history paper* hehehe, no downsides :^)
Ware Edmondson I
Ware Edmondson wawawaaa smaeeee sameee
Ware Edmondson samw
so basically wukong is the greatest strongest hardhead shounen protagonist who has a drama with his constantly-getting-kidnapped boyfriend and is known to be stupid yet the smartest in the group cuz no one can solve their own problems?
Senpai material.
he does have downsides, rages a lot. kills every demon he sees, even the good ones. But i know the reason why, because when he was under the mountain, none of his demon friends visited him. so when he encountered demons he gets rage because everyone ignored him. but over time he becomes calm and wise. in the sequel, he gets his own disciple.
It's kinda hard to believe but you're literally the first to mention the gay tension between Sun and Tripitoakatoataagsjka
@@raspberrycrowns9494 explain
@@wildcardjoey4776
Most of the comments are talking sun and quan but like no one notices Sun's need to protect Tripitolakalaka
He also call that boyfriend “master”
This story in a nutshell: "so they fight"
The origin of battle anime
So they fight... in a extremely polite manner
This book is essentially the predecessor of shonen manga
so basically yeah, lots of that
Somehow, I read that with Ryan George's pitch meeting's tone in mind.
"Oooh, are they gonna FIGHT?"
"They are!"
I like how whenever they befriend an ultra-powerful and unkillable demon, it immediately becomes just as unable to do things as the rest of the party.
Jack Carroll not quite. The "demon" are actually called Yao. Which is basically non human based half god not yet registered in heaven or fired from heaven.
There are different levels of these beings.
Some stories portray the younger ones who were just born merely 300 years ago, and have no power other than amplified animal abilities, like a skunk Yao's fart would now be charged with magic, a fox would not yet be able to turn into human form but is able to cause seductive illusions on muggle human.
Others have Yao over 900 years old, can fly on cloud, cause flood and nearly ready to become deity.
In this story however, most Yao they fight are nearly deities or already way passed the point of certifying to be a deity. One of them can eat Buddha.
Our protagonists on the other hand, are restrained, as punishment for their crimes.
So of course they struggle.
And the point of the story is to have 81 struggles so they may legitimise the transaction.
Mexgar tien
thats actually almost every single rpg game
super powerfull when you fight them
but when you recruit them they are useless
Right? And if the game has a beastiary you can look up that party member and see he had like 10k HP and 2000 STR or whatever as a boss but then when he joins you he's got like 1/10th of that.
Talix but in this case, the person you befriended doesn't become 1/10 as strong when you recruit them, it's just your enemies are all last bosses of 81 different games.
The name of the princess is translate as “hundred flowers shame” but means “to make all flowers to be shamed”
I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING!!! While Goku is based on Son Wukong in many aspects, he lacks his bloodlust, severe overconfidence, and petty nature. That was given to Vegeta. Each are two halves of his personality. Gogeta (or Vegito) is Monkey King!
Now that actually makes too much sense.
Bro this actually blows my mind fr
True but Goku is really confident or atleast in og db before he dent to train with kami. I’ll not say he had bloodlust but he was’t bothered when he killed but when he grew, he didn’t like it because he realised it as he grew. Thats also part of gokus character development and I think its well done
@@gmmworld9848 That's another interesting point honestly, I didn't think about that. Thank you. 😁
I was wondering who Sun was reminding me of and this makes it clear it was Gogeta
Monkey: Look dude, turning into a hot girl. That's like demon 101. Hell! I did it all the time when I ate people! :3
Me: Hell yeah Monkey!
XD
Lol XD
Wait Hol-up
At this point, it's magic disguise 101. Even the dragon horse did it, and he never does anything!
Ok, so the whole thing with Princess Hundred Flower’s Shame and the Wood Wolf Star makes more sense in context, because they both reincarnated. They aren’t their former selves. The issue is that when the Incense Maiden reincarnated, she lost all memory of her former life while the Wood Wolf Star retained his memories.
In that light, his actions make perfect sense. He fled heaven and got turned into a demon out of love, only for his love to not remember him or anything. His entitlement makes more sense now, don’t you think?
Then it makes you wonder how Princess Hundred Flowers reacted to the information that she’s the reincarnation of a heavenly spirit.
That actually makes it make more sense
What about the children. Why were they evil
@@ferhanthefox4688 I dunno, they were demons?
@@ferhanthefox4688 because the Wood Wolf Star reincarnated into a wolf demon i think
Princess: “What have I told you about trying to eat guests?”
Demon: “But babe!”
Princess: “Don’t ‘but babe’ me, mister! You’re in deep trouble.”
I think it's really interesting how it's shown that the demon really cares about his wife. I think I read somewhere that hundred flowers shame lost her memories, while the demon didn't (or something like that), so that is why she wanted to be freed.
@@DragonQueen-cv5mw if she went through reincarnation odds are she drank the whatever the hell soup the underworld gives people to wipe their memories
@@VietyV in Greek mythology there's a river called Lethe that can wipe people's memories with on sip of its water.
@@VietyV The soup is called "The Five-Flavored Tea of Forgetfulness", given by Meng Photo, to the souls exiting hell and are about to be reincarnatede. A great if not the best amnestics you can get, if you could smuggle some from hell.
@@dustlotus5129 Huh, interesting. In vietnamese it's usually referred to as Old Lady Meng's broth/soup and there's no real context other than it makes you forget
That's a SUPER interesting way to look at the characters in journey to the west, as representations of different and conflicting parts of our minds. Never thought about it that way before at all.
pig of desire, sand priest of yamcha and monk of easily-persuaded idiocy
Beatrice Chao River Spirit of Fear/Emotion and Monk of Conscience.
I learned that wukong represents anger, pigsy greed and sandy of idiocy. Those were the three elements that kept people from enlightenment in Buddhism.
이예진 Wait, why was Sandy idiocy? Did he do anything stupider than Pigsy?
@@littleblueclovers Well, according to Wikipedia, the MOST RELIABLE SOURCE EVER, in many english versions of the story, he is being represented as stupider than he actually is. Also he seems to be the most loyal, kind-hearted and logical person of the group.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sha_Wujing
I kind of love that even though Pigsy was the one to get him kicked out from the group (and in a manner that got the magic equivalent of a shock collar ser of 3 times no less) when he shows up at his place Sun Wukong is just chill with hanging out - one would think he'd be resentful or full of spite after what he did.
Or at least, I DID think that before I remembered that when he got upset at Heaven the first time he just went home, the fighting only started bc THEY sent warriors after HIM.
The more I think about it, he's not much of one to hold a grudge is he? Nor does he seem to think others will that much seeing as he keeps going going Heaven for help on the Journey. Maybe the pure impulsivity that runs through his veins means he discards the high emotional stakes to a situation soon after its over?
I love your comment
Or he maybe doesn't see a reason for holding a grudge. Doing that is already tiering for a mortal, imagen this for a immortal, who lives for eternity.
I also think he knows that Pigsy doesn't stand a chance agains him to beginn with. So why should he have a grudge agains someone weaker than himself?
Monkey is officially my favorite character and I would die for him. Also, Red, you make these stories so fun to watch and make me want to go buy the books.
You'd die for a 4× immortal stone monkey?
You will

BLACK MYTH: WUKONG ASSEMBLE!
Wait a minute, if the guy wasnt actually a demon, then his kids were not demons either. Did they just murder two innocent kid and acted like nothing happened?
They are stronger than demons because I think:son of a soldier of heaven < son of a demon in power.But when you say it like that...yeah it's totally fucked up.Wrong,but still as fucked up if it was right.
the guy is like a soldier of heaven in the form of demon, and therefore his kids are in demonic forms (very hideous looking), but the book also described them playing together around their mother, showing that their are indeed innocent little children, so yes they just murdered two innocent kid and acted like nothing happened, after all this is a very dark book.
What in the world, heroes?!
dont forget themselves were demons as well

So wait. Does this make sandy the Yamcha of the group?
Yeah. Yamcha is, in fact, based on Sandy.
Class A, Rank 7; TH-cam Hero: Keyboard Warrior Pigs is Krillin? But I feel like Krillin was a better friend to Goku than Pigsy is to Monkey
Oolong is based on Pigsy, not Krillin. He's one of the most obvious parallel being a shape shifting pig after all.
That's only obvious if you watched the original dragonball though ^^
So how long until Sandy gets Yamcha'd then?
Wait, so if Son Wu Kong represents the mind, then is it just by coincidence that in this chapter where he’s gone everything slowly dissolves into chaos and the character who “lost his mind” is perceived as a monster despite still being human? I might just be making something out of nothing but it cool to think about
Only that he didn't "lost his mind" he kicked it out.
But no. I don't think it's a coincidence. 😂
It's interesting that the monk is so holy and pure, and yet this makes him gullible and unable to do anything to take care of himself - instead, he depends on the assistance from monkey, all while chastising him for breaking the rules, even though the rule-breaking is the only thing preventing him from being eaten. I wonder, what does the author mean to imply by this.
Maybe that in the real imperfect world, being 'pure' and 'righteous' isn't always possible. Or that the meaning of right and wrong aren't set in stone like the philosophy's the story is based around might suggest.
Edit. I don't know a great deal about eastern philosophies, maybe they're not actually set in stone.
@@beatrix1120 yeah eastern ancient philosophies are rather realistic at their present time
Well, this was an allegory about how the human being work. Sun being the mind and tripitaka being the heart, we all know where this is going
@@beatrix1120 the philosophy of Buddhism states clearly to not follow the sutras as rules but as a guidance, and that we should not hold onto them but use them to stop the reincarnation circle.
So this could mean that even Tripitaka was human and very flawled still. Or that Tripitaka has such a big heart he doesn't approve wukong saving him by force and would rather die than letting go of his values, letting other monk take his place. Maybe it's because it could harm his pilgrim to kill more so he doesn't want that (heaven not letting him ascend etc).
I haven't read the whole book yet so I can't give an opinion of why I think it may be.
That’s deep
"WAAAHHHH! THERE'S A DEMON AND,"
"WHAT?!"
"Yeah, and he called you skinny"
"I'LL KILL 'IM"
you know...after watching monkie kid....I was thinking the white bone spirit ( aka the lady bone demon) would be more lasting than that
Although it definitely makes sense why Wukong hates her so much.
Sun-Wukong versus Mwindo. That would be dope.
**obligatory Infinity War joke**
The universe will implode as two characters with plot armor duke it out.
I see those two duking it out for a little bit before realizing how much they have in common and becoming instant BFFs.
@@MURPHYCHACHO especially the part I just go screw everything and then fix the problem
Easy, *easy* win for Monkey. All the various gods were good leagues more powerful than Mwindo and Sun Wukong kicked the asses of most of his pantheon
2:14 you could say that Tripitaka... Ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
omg I finally GET IT
i made you look kinda dumb with your finger and your thumb in the shape of an L on your forehead?
Tom Sistermans hey now.....
red uses other songs too in instances where Tripitaka uses the spell by the way if you haven't noticed:')
Haha I did notice right after you pointed the All Star one out!
10:14 That actually makes perfect sense to me, in those mythologies when someone gets reincarnated they don't get to keep the memories of their past life.
it's interesting how monkeys' attitude kind of evolves as the story goes on.
well the journey did take 7 years to get there and 7 years to come back.
That’s Character Development for ya
yes
I vividly remember watching multiple adaptation of this particular part of the journey of the west, and it is always, ALWAYS, the most frustrating. Just friggin trust him you- *sighs so hard the heavenly officials hear me*
The Heavenly Officials: *Da fuq-*
For those DBZ fans keeping score, Oolong just said, "Yeah, I can take on Cell. I'm as strong as Goku."
Good luck, buddy.
I have never clicked on a video so fast before! lmao X^D
same, i saw it and dropped everything to watch.
Mors Omnibus ikr
Are you planning to make a part 5?
Eline Korf the sarcastic response is NO
Ipsum quaerere Why?
Azure because obviously Red makes part 5 but it probebly takes a year.
Ipsum quaerere Oh, I see.
Is that a Jojo's reference?
Ok smacking someone other face while blasting, “Shot Through the Heart,” will never not be funny to me.
So Tripitaka is the original dense anime protagonist? He never finds himself with women swooning over him and he just... doesn't notice? Does he?
wu kong is so cute XD
Sun Wu Kong's greatest weakness is literally the magic of friendship.
Bro…
Twilight sparkle finna go on a rampage
These summarisations are very good. Could you also please consider making summarisations of Indian Epics; such as the Mahabharata or Ramayana.
Shreyas Kannan The Mahabharata might take 30 videos to finish though cuz it's so long. The Bhagavad Gita alone would have to be 2 videos.
thirteenfury The Ramayana would a bit more manageable since it is more easy to be edited down.
thirteenfury Red literally summed it all in 1 minute
Lady Bone Demon in Monkie Kid: I am Justice given form! I am The World! My Zero Mortals Plan will not be stopped by YOU INSIGNIFICANT APES!!!
Lady Bone Demon in JTTW: Time to cause discord hehe.
Rewatching this series for the uh.. fourth time in as many months, and I just love that bit in the middle where you analyze Monkey's emotional tailspin. Literary analysis is delicious!
Who’s here after black myth wukong AUG 2024? 🙌
Pigsy: I'm TWICE the badass Wukong ever was!
Me: you still admitted that he was badass. And he still is.
- My husband is a demon, I'm a celestial spirit incarnate and the monk is a real monk
- And I'm a monkey !
So cute and so OP at the same time
"SHOT THROUGH THE HEART"
"AND YOU'RE TO BLAME DARLING"
"YOU GIVE LOOOOOVE A *BAD NAME*"
CAN YOU BE MY FRIENDS
gorgeous illustrations
"Will Sandy ever win a fight" too good
For those who dont know hes basically the Yamcha of this story
@Tam873 nah dude when you watch the tv series adaptation hes so much of a Yamcha
@Tam873 XD
Yamcha and Krillin is actually kinda based on Sandy.
Bulma=Xuanzang，
Wulong=Pigzy，
Goku=Wukong，
Yamcha=Sandy
There's this Fan-Manga called Dragon Ball Elsewhere that has Yamcha as a protagonist and it's REALLY good. It has good writing (Better than Toriyama at least) and really fixes a lot of the plot holes original Dragon Ball had before uwu
wow goku really took the personality of Sun Wu Kong. neat
Except for the rage
@@renerusselladorio1952 apart from when Krillan is killed by Freiza and when Goku Black gloats about killing Chi Chi and Goten
@@lindlekindle everybody would be mad if that happens to them tbh
Yet Goku is dumber.
You know who took it better?
Uzumaki Naruto.
Journey to the west is where Krilin gets to play the hero ahhahhaa
That's actually Bulma.
krillin is based on the sandy guy
while yamcha is the pigsy guy
Pigsy: Oolong
Sandy: Yamcha
The monk is totally bulma
Pigsy is Oolong. He's a shape shifting, conniving, lying pig. Heck Oolong even had a scheme of kidnapping girls.
As for sandy...
"Will Sandy ever get to win a fight?"
Yup, that's Yamcha
IT’S KRILLER TIME!!!
I can’t help but see Sun Wukong as a relatable character!
Y'know, in any other story seeing the most overpowered character as relatable might seem arrogant. But Sun Wukong? Yeah, it's surprising how... human he seems? Ha and he's not even human. God I love JttW
He's more human than the human Charakteres. And he's a Monkey. A MONKEY! Argubaly a very intelegent monkey, but a monkey non the less.
"sweet man flesh"
I used to watch the kids show of journey to the west on tv and I was(am still) annoyed by Tripitaka's stupidness on understanding that a Monkey God that lived all his life around Demons clearly knows a thing or two more about Demons! Couldn't Kuan Yin at least pop up and say to him "ahem, I gave you this guy to protect you for a reason, yes all those things were monsters and trust him the next time he does something like this because even he isnt stupid enough to kill someone innocent without reason!"
Huge point across magnificently.
I always felt the same as a kid! But I guess if the monk didn't get captured that often they wouldn't go through 81 challenges
Everyone do. The sence which Tripitaka toturne Sun Wukong by killng the demon
👍😁
Monkey: where'd he go? I can't sense his energy, he must a celestial warrior!!
I'm blamed for everything. :D
Shuddup Pigsy.
Begone Pigsy. Monkey is better
What a simp.
You are to blame for everything
Because you did do everything !
Ok so I discovered your channel a couple days ago when I was searching for quick summaries of myths we studied in our greek mythology class and anyway I discovered this beautiful goldmine. After bingeing all of Red's videos (and some of Blue's- I love your voice too but Red's content is more my style) in, oh I dunno, 4 days... I have to conclude that I'm in love.
I can't believe you're covering Journey to the West, the story that I literally grew up with as a child. This was my bedtime story. I was convinced I was gonna be as great as Wukong. (Please also cover Nezha at some point @ Red. The kid's origin story is surprisingly similar to the peach boy of Japanese mythology you covered) This is a trip down memory lane and a half and Red's voice and art style with its snarky commentary makes this all the more fun to watch when I am decidedly /not/ doing what I should be doing (studying)
I was just thinking of Nezha’s origin when she covered Momotaro! I hope the videos eventually get around to his story too.
Okay, I have so many questions now about the Lady Bone Demon from Monkie Kid (a sort of adaptation of JTTW)
Also, I'm seriously loving this adaptation. Since my digital copy of JTTW was accidentally deleted and I forgot which chapter I was on, I decided to watch this instead and now I have something new to watch/listen to while I draw my LMK art. Thank you guys so much for making this!
Now that I think about it, aside from Red Son, everyone got a massive power up in LMK. In JTTW, all SWK has to do is whack them with his staff to cave their skulls in but they can actually put up a fight in LMK.
@@ashleightompkins3200I'd say, they actully put in some work and training to get this powerful. While SWK was just lazying around on his Mountain. 😂
@@demonfox132 Once again, SWK is the best known character and still not the main character.
@@ashleightompkins3200 I'm not saying Swk is the MC. But what else do you expect him to do all those years on his mountain.
Also it's just my little head canon as explaination to why they're so much more powerful than in the book (apparently).
Best homemade anime ever
Crystle Tear technically a manga but whatever....
I think a straight Shonen anime adaptation of Journey to the West would be pretty easy to make! Given the fact that it _already was_ essentially a Shonen anime in terms of concept (episodic "Monster of the Week" series with themes of friendship, a fleshed out cast of diverse and wacky characters, a primary protagonist who is hot-blooded and super OP, a team pet/mascot with magical powers, LOTS of cool martial arts action, etc.), it would be a breeze!
@@CJCroen1393 There is an anime loosely based of Journey to the West. It's called Saiyuki, and it's really fun to watch.
@@silentspirit8923 I've heard of it! So far, though, I've only seen its (awesome) opening themes.
@@CJCroen1393 yeah the opening themes are awesome.
When you watch the anime, yes there are differences, but there are some parts that are sorta accurate.
I couldn't resist: here are the Hogwarts houses of the five-man band!
Tripitaka: Hufflepuff. Kind, loyal, doesn't give up on his quest, loves his disciples... Like Red said, the guy is a sweetheart.
Monkey: Gryffindor. Brave, in it for the glory, do I really need to say anything else?
Pigsy: Slytherin? Probably a Crabbe/Goyle-type Slytherin.
Sandy: Slytherin, for real this time. Cunning and clever, but capable in a fight.
Horse: Ravenclaw. Too smart to get involved with this junk, but when he needs to, uses his intelligence to his advantage.
Sandy is whichever house can swim the best
ERA CASTE yeah, Pigsy is just as strong (if not stronger) than Wukong himself (at least magic wise). You see, there's a total of 108 magic spells/transformations in Taoism, Wukong learned the first half which is 72 EARTHLY transformations/spells (which very impressive but only covered the basic of Taoism, like create fire, turn to animals, cure diseases) while Pigsy mastered the other superior half, the 36 HEAVENLY transformations/spells.
He represents the mind as the only thing holding him (and our mind) back from our true potential is our fleshly desire (lust, sloth, gluttony, ..)
SANDY IS A HUFFLEPUFF OR RAVENCLAW TAKE YOUR PICK
@@diendien7996 Then Slytherin (their classical element is water).
Fantasy Shadows Ravenclaw
I kinda feel bad for the demon, he seemed to actually love his family
So I was rewatching this series as I do periodically because this stuff has some serious re entertaining value, when I noticed that the horse has some odd expressions. Every once and awhile theirs a face that says to the rest of the group, "you guys are a bunch of dorks." It's kinda great.
HAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAAAHAHAAHHHHHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHAHAHHA
"It'll be so much better if I use a sword!" - me doing everyday tasks
10:33 "Will Sandy ever win a fight?" I'm laughing so hard.
YESSSSS I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
raccoons in cocoons it is the best! 😆
*Subconsciously Ships Wukong and Tripitaka*
I personally don't ship them with anyone.(butthatwon'tstopmefromsearchingitongoogle.....OH WHAT AM I KIDDING WERE ARE ALL MY YAOI LOVING HOMIES AT!!!!!!)
You know that moment when 2 characters start to be super angry at each other and you suddenly start to ship them? Yeah
YAAAASSS SAME!!!
IKR
the amount of times wukong saves tripitaka and the way he's so protective of him is just- UGH IM IN LOVE
You know if a legend or myth is good if the characters are realistic.
I haven't been so desperate to read something in ten years and that realization made me cry. I used to crave literature. I wanted to read and read and read no matter what the level of difficulty a story was. This lead to me reading the Odyssey about six times in fifth grade (unabridged) because sure I'd read it but I never grasped it. I wanted to understand everything and now I want to sleep until three pm and now I feel bad. Sorry, did I say bad? I meant I feel like kicking literatures ass by consuming any words within a thousand mile radius of me.
What a mood man, me too
sun Wukong is my favorite character here XD just the way you portray him and the little comments that I have to pause the video to read always make me laugh xD
Who else is here to learn before Black Myth Wukong drops?
Who’s here after black myth?
Binged all the vids last night and I want more
Same!!
