Ok, so if the destined one was like "empty" and seemed devoid of personality all along the game, was it because he didn't had unlocked the memories of Wukong yet? Does that mean that in the true ending when he becomes Wukong he regains his personality and stop being emotionless???
@@MythofanMythological-n5uI think the destined one is actually every player, the narrative of this game is actually first person, that's why destined one has no emotions in the game. Players may not understand Wukong's true intentions due to different perspectives in the plot, acquiring power is only a prerequisite, the most important thing is the inheritance of resistance consciousness, that is, more "destined one" participate in fighting for the happiness of everyone, Instead of begging for the resurrection of Wukong or waiting for someone like Wukong to appear and help you resist power.
@@fanzy1012true. hanuman wasn't a smart monkey but the muscle type. Bro couldn't even remember a name of a herb and he had to carry the whole mountain of trees because of it. On the other hand wukong is a one who's considered worthy of the title of the victorius fighting buddha. Although before the journey to the west, he has been tricked by the celestial court and many others. Ex. him accepting the garden watcher job thinking it's a high title in the celestial court.
@@ItachiUchiha-mh8hnHanuman's literal powers are being the smartest the wisest the strongest. He lifted the mountain because of the abundance of herb there also how tf knowing the name of a herb going to help him find it in a forest?. Hanuman outsmarted the gods sun indra Brahma and alot more
Btw, it was implied that the Gods and Buddhas don't need to exploit the souls of the mortals to cultivate immortality, they just don't want to go through the rigorous and spiritual training that got them to where they are, so they decided if anyone is to suffer for their privilege of Immortality and power, it will be all of you plebs. SUFFER FOR OUR PRIVILEGES! - Gods and Buddhas alike.
@@ButteLicher Do not view the Buddhas, bodhisattavas and deities in Journey to the West as the same in Chinese mythologies. The author who wrote JTW novel during Ming Dynasty used these mythological beings to depict the corruption of the feudal government.
@@HanlinGo219let’s not forget luffy could be also inspired by sun wukong Luffy has MONKEY in his clan name and luffy also wants to be freest as well and likes to fight as well which is basically the same as sun wukong and he acts like a little monkey too
its heavily implied to the point of basically confirming that the entire chapter 4 area is a immortal pill farm that those of the court use to keep producing pills from the residents of the area.
Not only did this deserve game of the year, it was robbed of it. I'm glad it didn't get Game of the Year because now I know that I don't have to take The Game Awards seriously anymore. Bro, Wukong freed me of their Deception in Real life. I hope the developers continue to put out Games like this.
This video left me speechless and gave me goosebumps and puts the game in complete perspective… wows this game was already GOTY for me but now I’m thinking it’s Game of the decade
This is an amazing video that goes into such depth! I love how you went over details such as the character entries in the game to explain the true hidden story as well. Someone needs to send this video to AfroSenju when he completes the game! Him and all the other streamers and TH-camrs!
It would definitely make sense for Erlang Shen to assist Sun Wukong, especially after what he went through when his uncle, the Jade Emperor, killed his mother during Erlang's attempt to rescue her.
very good prospective. One of the best retold I have seen. There is one thing I'd like to add. I am 100% sure the Old Monkey is working with the celestial court... THere are a few hint: - his appearance in chp 6 with floating cloth around him suggests he is a divinity. - he somehow is already in the sealing rock - the story he told the destined one to guide him largely differ from what actually happened (e.g. relics did not choose to hide themselves. there was a lot more characters involved in fighting WuKong, WuKong chose to died as ErLang even said no one could kill WuKong, etc...) - His main role is to entrap WuKong's essence by putting back the golden encaging headband and sealing WuKong's essences forever - In good ending WuKong awaken before Old Monkey had the chance to put the headband back on
thanks! also researched on many other similar videos, so credit on them! very valid good point you made! however I have a different view on who is really the old monkey, imo he is another reincarnation of Jinchanzi (kind of another Xuanzang - wukong's master) I might make an video for it, thanks for the suggestion!
I don't think that the old monkey is working for the celestrial court. I believe that he is just a loyal follower of Wukong who purely wants to revive his king. As for the headband, he simply doesn't know better. This whole plan was Wukong secret plot, which no one else knows. Only ErLang Shen with his all seeing 3rd eye, which can reveal hidden intention, knows of Wukongs plot. I don't even believe that this was ploted by them both together. ErLang Shen might just found out about Wukongs plan through his ability and the rest was just a bro thing. Btw Erlang Shen is considered to be one of the most upright god from the heavenly court
@@PhoenlxA as usual the devil is in the detail. In mythology, you don't just randomly get a floating cloth. It ALWAYS signifies a God level being. Not just immortals, but one that achieved godhood. if you watch Konosuba, you know Aqua also has that as a hint but no one around her understood that
It's a great game just a little advice tho try not to get overwhelmed by the environments because at first especially in later chapters there will be big areas to explore areas will become familiar to you eventually especially in NG+ and also make sure to not overlook any chest look out for mind cores to upgrade your stats you will get more out of the game by taking your time to explore, level up and upgrade your stats trust me and if you beat the game 3 times with the secret ending you will unlock the Wukong Stance in NG+ 4
The story of Wukong is always about status and discrimination, Wukong is gifted with the power that can rivaled the whole celestial court. Being recognized by the emperor is Wukong greatest achievement, but instead of being honored for his effort, Wukong was appointed as a Stable Keeper which makes him lower than a servant. With the whole court talking trash about Wukong and degraded him since Wukong is a Yaoguai, it was inevitable for Wukong to stay still and accept it like nothing so he launch a catastrophic rampage against the Celestial Court which destroyed the entire Jade palace until Buddha intervened.
This was the first time I have ever been exposed to Chinese mythology and I had several doubts after playing the game.I learned about the 81 ordeals and complete story that the game devs hinted at or willingly left out,by watching other videos. But this was the explanation I was looking for. Thank you for making this!
Actually in chapter 4 there are clues about how people and yaoguai is breed as medicine to let the court stay immortal. The first chapter indicate that lingxuzi the old wolf revived by the black bear cant stand to eat their own people. So he dicide to kill himself instead of living in guilt. It suggest that in order to stay immortal you must keep eating your own kind.
The original story of journey to the west is about sun go kong learning his lessons to become a better person. Black myth wukong's story is the opposite of that.. It is about time, the heaven need to learn their lessons
The celestial court or the heaven already know the lessons, but they just don't want the Lower class rises to higher class . Just like they said: Men(human), beasts, buddhas, yaoguais(Monsters), each bears a distinct root from birth, superior and inferiror--This is what the court and the heaven want.
The author struggled his whole life to become an officer. He did it at the age of sixty,but being prisoned for righting poor people‘s wrongs cause his behavior touched the interests of the powerful.
It's a story of The Monkey King who wishes to make things equitable for all creatures, and it was all the heavenly beings including Buddha that were evil and needed to he destroyed
May be the Monkey king want all the havenly beings and buddhas are equal to all creatures not just destroyed them. There are some Buddha and gods help Monkey king as well because they feel the same.
@@RyanLei8505 That's true. In the original setting, Maitreya is the next successor of the Tathagata. Take office when the thoughts of the Tathagata no longer align with the times, and preach new ideas and concepts
wow what a video..,you did a really great job explaining the story and ambitions of Wukong in the game. love the video I hope it gains some more popularity soon.
He wants to break the cycle of consumption, and overthrow a divine order that harvests living beings to prolong its own existence. I'm rough on the details but the big picture is finally coming together. As critical of Buddhism (or at least the "Buddha") the novel and the game seem to be, it's ironic that the real-life Buddha would have agreed with Wukong's rejection of immortality and its cost. Great video, thank you
thanks glad it helps. exactly, the Buddha from the novel and game represents the ruling authority of the time when it was written and is not representative to the real-life religion.
Bro thank you for getting things clear, please make a video on the plausible future possibilities on the journey of the destined one. Thank you for making this video 🙏❤
Destined one? Or better put it this way Sun wukong reincarnated. Since he has all the senses of Sun Wukong which means automatically he becomes sun wukong
This was never my interpretation of the Monkey King. All of the stories I read indicate he desires freedom above all else, not equality of all beings. He defies authority that tries to layer responsibilities and titles as chains, and his ability to see through illusions is most telling in this.
I'm almost done with area 2 of wukong and ive been wondering too about what sun fights for, he clearly desires his personal freedom, but he go above and beyond and its not explained
I really like how game science add a lot of easter egg from the movie as well like the love of wukong that mention in the sea of memory the bone demon (due to mentioning of the tiger ridge the place where wukong fight the skeletal demon ) that wukong never forget his love the wukong lover are not mentioning in novel but was an adaption from the Chinese Odyssey movie and even the theme song that they add from the tv serie 1986 if you run a game in chinese langugae in the chapter 6 ending cant wait for the DLC
So my biggest take away after reading Journey To the West, playing Wukong and reading stories around Wukong is that Buddha is the greatest TRAITOR to all beings.
During the period the novel was written, considering the historical context, it’s generally believed the term “Buddha” refers the ruling authority of that time.
Since Black Myth is after Journey to the west event. So in the novel, do we know what happen afterward? Did reincarnation (Destined One) manage to fight Jade Emperor? Or Destined One story isnt written yet? What is Black myth actually?
As tcof said, BMW is just an another adaptation to JTTW. There is no the destined one in the original story. Whatever happens later is up for interpretation and let’s just wait for DLC. If you want to know about some relevant dark backstory, feel free to check out my previous video, it might give you an idea of why it’s called the black myth
Wow thank you I really didn’t get that as a native English speaker it was hard for me to understand all of the lil yet important meanings in there story’s like the elder story I understand the fox and young man story I understand that ur destiny is not written in stone but it carved out by are actions and beliefs like the great ocelot says there are no truths just interpretations
glad it has helped a little. I think I've seen some videos of the elder one, but it is basically about letting your desire eating into you and eventually destroy you. thumbs up to no absolute truths, only different perspectives and interpretations of reality.
Because of her he found himself again and because of him she lost sense of herself. When they look at each other and he sees her devolving into a spider and she sees him turning into his old self and fading in tears. Maybe if she forgets him, she will find herself again he thinks but she would rather be in hell with him than to be in heaven without.What a dilemma! 1000 lives of love's tragic cycle.... what a punishment! So beautiful!
Yeah, I didn't realize it until the little skip part scenes of the game. I'm not interested in the game. I never play the game. Little shorts of the game. That's when I realized when you start going to the other characters. Buddha is showing favoritisms, to immortal humans. While the humans are not no directly, being affected by the actions of the immortals. Yet he does not show any particular love or interest in them. Yet he allows the hatred of all those sentient no humans. Today's Buddha is some luck wealth God. You know originally Buddha was supposed to be a equality God. Being that's supposed to love all things fairly. Even though the actual Buddha was never a god at all. He was just an ordinary person. This is not part of the story. This is a real guy.
Black Myth Wukong may not be the Greatest Representation of Buddhahood or Bodhisattva but it’s Great Game, and to have Good Action Game, We need “Rage” 🎉🔥✨ this is still matrix or illusion of a pocket dimension m still programming codes but can make u think. Asura or Deva Demons or Celestials both sides are the counterparts of the SAME COIN. Good vs Evils became Dubious Nuances. Because there is no good or evil. because in the end, it’s still the same energy but usages of that energy is the differences. Just like a knife 🔪(energy), we use it cut vegetables or stab other beings.
Good job, and well done. If we believe human are basicly good, then everybody should re-evaluate the values of things as a human, not obey the values passed from god(others). If we believe human are basicly evil, then we also needs to think about who is responsible for that? Is it inherited from parents or infused by the God(society)? "What's in it for you?". Ask questions like Nietzsche, Kant。 Not follow the trained thought from Capitalism and Consumnism.
thanks! well said and I have my latest video discusses the human nature after going into details of the story told in chapter 3. feel free to check it out!
I love tbe game a lot. But making Wukong hate immortality shouldnt have been a thing. Most of the story of journey to the west Wukong is obsessed with his immortality. Including killing people who tease him that he can die just for insulting his immortality. To get the good ending and break the crown i think is a great enough reason for the rest of the game. Because he hates being trapped by that crown.

Immortality is a curse in the material world you only can go so high but never outside of your cage divinity
The great irony tho is that immortality is the very thing that many being is seeking after. Which is also a theme in Sun wukong
It would definitely make sense for Erlang Shen to assist Sun Wukong, especially after what he went through when his uncle, the Jade Emperor, killed his mother during Erlang's attempt to rescue her.
very good prospective. One of the best retold I have seen.
There is one thing I'd like to add. I am 100% sure the Old Monkey is working with the celestial court... THere are a few hint:
- his appearance in chp 6 with floating cloth around him suggests he is a divinity.

- In good ending WuKong awaken before Old Monkey had the chance to put the headband back on

@@PhoenlxAunfortunately bad theory
我个人的看法，老猴子本质是就是金箍，而金箍是代表了斗战胜佛的佛意，二郎神说它脱不下那道箍，实际就是舍不下斗战胜佛的意根。
主创杨奇在采访中说过，悟空兵解的创意来自于《西游记》第九十八回中，唐僧看见了自己的尸体飘过。
当悟空死后，他的意实际是分为了两个部分，一部分齐天大圣和孙行者的意根被二郎神所保留，另一部分则是金箍，金箍和尸体一起被留在了花果山。
所以影神图中，漫天神佛觉得老猴子是在赌，赌悟空的转世是否还会带上金箍，但是老猴子说它没有赌，因为人的内心一旦坚定了去除佛性的意念，那么佛性最终就可以被去除，而斗战胜佛只是想听听猴子猴孙们在一路上的经历，有些顽劣的猴子在一路上学习本事却造下过分杀孽，最终不能领悟大圣的意，那么自然需要再带上金箍，而有些猴子，明悟了大圣的意根，那自然不再需要金箍了。
黑神话的黑不只是在于漫天神佛对于平凡世界的人和妖的剥削，其本质是神佛把自己当作天道，视万物为刍狗，但其却仍然存留着六根，且不得清净，才真正苦害众生，然后又期望苦渡众生，因是他们，果也是他们，这也是导致历史不断循环，黑的真正所在。
这个解读好诶 很在理！

眼见喜是一只重明鸟，重明鸟除了有说明里的火眼金睛，还有两个特点，一是它经常会脱光自己羽毛，然后随意再长出来，二是这种鸟恋家，其他地方人很难遇到，而且不像凤栖梧桐那样难伺候。能随意卸装明显嘲讽了金池，恋旧则像极了黑熊精。
耳听怒是一只埙，这种古老的乐器过风能发出声音，声音沙哑类似风沙吹过，很有古韵，不过作为一种乐器它要演奏就要堵住身上不同的孔，如同人堵住耳朵一般，也是隐喻了黄风岭的故事。
鼻嗅爱不知道是何罗鱼还是茈鱼，这两种神话中的鱼都是一头十尾的怪鱼，其中何罗鱼是海上僧的原型，被称为胖肚子鱼，吃下去的效果是不会臃肿，游戏里黄眉的一大特色就是肿胖，不管是化身、真身还是转生的形象都浮肿不堪，茈鱼呢，吃了这种鱼的效果是不会再放屁，倒更符合黄眉全章节都是屁话以及《屁》这首歌的意味。虽然游戏里说这东西能闻香，但其实这两种鱼闻起来味道都不怎么样，而且他们的原型多半不是乌贼就是章鱼，倒是都有放屁的绝活。
舌尝思是一只莲蓬，或者说天池金莲，西游记中天池和莲蓬都和猪八戒有关，莲蓬指的是猪八戒的大嘴猪鼻如同一个举着的莲蓬，里面有七颗莲子。最后我们拿到手以后会比CG里少一颗，也不知道是说四妹还是紫蛛儿。
身本忧的双头猪是山海经里的屏蓬，一个身子，两个猪头，意见总是相悖，结果寸步难移。牛魔王每次做出选择都是错误的，而他和他的家庭不管是红孩儿还是铁扇公主的选择也都是相背的，和屏蓬的特点一模一样。
最后的意见欲就不说了，金箍就在那儿。
有点意思
very insightful. All the oxymoron are very well thought out
Haven't seen anyone trying to explain them before,so this is interesting.
厉害，之前我看身本忧就奇怪，为啥是双头猪？还以为跟八戒有关
mind不是金箍，mind是在二郎的第三只眼睛里
He wants to break the cycle of consumption, and overthrow a divine order that harvests living beings to prolong its own existence. I'm rough on the details but the big picture is finally coming together. As critical of Buddhism (or at least the "Buddha") the novel and the game seem to be, it's ironic that the real-life Buddha would have agreed with Wukong's rejection of immortality and its cost. Great video, thank you
thanks glad it helps. exactly, the Buddha from the novel and game represents the ruling authority of the time when it was written and is not representative to the real-life religion.
In the end when the eyes flash
It was sun wukong waking up
And get the memories of Journey to the west😁
@@RyanLei8505 yes he got the memories flashing back slowly after the black smoke came out of they eye of erlang
A story about freedom. It was a great game. They better win GOTY
Thank you. I am renouncing my Buddhism
ohh the buddhism in JTTW and BMW does not represent the religion
@@HanlinGo219 true. in real life religion, Buddha-hood is not gaindd by "merits" but by enlightenment, it is a status not an title of power
Bro thank you for getting things clear, please make a video on the plausible future possibilities on the journey of the destined one. Thank you for making this video 🙏❤
That’s a difficult one! Will try! But I guess it will be the destined one getting back to the celestial court
Destined one? Or better put it this way Sun wukong reincarnated. Since he has all the senses of Sun Wukong which means automatically he becomes sun wukong
Very nicely explained!
这个视频值得人更多人看到
感谢哥们的用心解读和视频制作！一键三连了❤🎉为传统文化的传播尽一份力🎉
Also in Chapter 2 ending, Bodhisattva Lingzi said classes and ranks are set and stone and none shall interfere it.
Underrated!!
The monkey king movies are hilariously good 😂
mind blowing as heck
Nezha is so damn cool!!
potential allies fo Sun wukong similar to Erlang
The best explained video for those that didn't get it
This was never my interpretation of the Monkey King. All of the stories I read indicate he desires freedom above all else, not equality of all beings. He defies authority that tries to layer responsibilities and titles as chains, and his ability to see through illusions is most telling in this.
damn, i didn't know my boy wukong was a comrade
b站过来的，这波必须支持一下
The Great Sage Sun wukong only want three things from the court or heaven : fair, fair and f**king fair !
少翻了一个“tmd”
@@yihuang-ww4tl okay, added on it
Man this game is deep.
I'm almost done with area 2 of wukong and ive been wondering too about what sun fights for, he clearly desires his personal freedom, but he go above and beyond and its not explained
Not just for freedom but fair is what Sun wukong want. Freedom is important, but fair maybe worth more
b站来的，讲的真的很清晰🎉
I love your videos. Keep it going.
Glad you like them!
Nice job bro!👍
Damn lord in this deep as elden ring even it just a remake of old mythology
Great explanation. Many thanks 🙏
Excellent explanation friend
Perfect explanation
Glad you liked it!
I think they’re gonna make a second game where he actually fights the celestial court
It might come with the DLC
They have prepared 2 DLCs for this, including the battle in celestial court.
I really like how game science add a lot of easter egg from the movie as well like the love of wukong that mention in the sea of memory the bone demon (due to mentioning of the tiger ridge the place where wukong fight the skeletal demon ) that wukong never forget his love the wukong lover are not mentioning in novel but was an adaption from the Chinese Odyssey movie and even the theme song that they add from the tv serie 1986 if you run a game in chinese langugae in the chapter 6 ending cant wait for the DLC
nice！
the love of bilibili
b站来的+1
very clearly ！Good work!
Great explanation bro
nice！Thank you for the video.
最后的通关动画是倒叙也印证了天命人得到了大圣的忆根，记忆由近及远慢慢恢复的过程
So my biggest take away after reading Journey To the West, playing Wukong and reading stories around Wukong is that Buddha is the greatest TRAITOR to all beings.
During the period the novel was written, considering the historical context, it’s generally believed the term “Buddha” refers the ruling authority of that time.
Great explanation ❤️
Thats fire
Since Black Myth is after Journey to the west event. So in the novel, do we know what happen afterward? Did reincarnation (Destined One) manage to fight Jade Emperor? Or Destined One story isnt written yet? What is Black myth actually?
No, the true JTTW end with them finish the journey, bring back Bulda book to China. End. Black Myth Wukong is a modern sequel make by modern people.
As tcof said, BMW is just an another adaptation to JTTW. There is no the destined one in the original story. Whatever happens later is up for interpretation and let’s just wait for DLC. If you want to know about some relevant dark backstory, feel free to check out my previous video, it might give you an idea of why it’s called the black myth
What happened later is concluded in God of High School
Wow thank you I really didn’t get that as a native English speaker it was hard for me to understand all of the lil yet important meanings in there story’s like the elder story I understand the fox and young man story I understand that ur destiny is not written in stone but it carved out by are actions and beliefs like the great ocelot says there are no truths just interpretations
glad it has helped a little. I think I've seen some videos of the elder one, but it is basically about letting your desire eating into you and eventually destroy you. thumbs up to no absolute truths, only different perspectives and interpretations of reality.
Om Ma Ni Pad Me Hum
3 universal truths
4 noble truths
8 fold noble paths
12:00 the journey
Because of her he found himself again and because of him she lost sense of herself. When they look at each other and he sees her devolving into a spider and she sees him turning into his old self and fading in tears. Maybe if she forgets him, she will find herself again he thinks but she would rather be in hell with him than to be in heaven without.What a dilemma! 1000 lives of love's tragic cycle.... what a punishment! So beautiful!
❤
Yeah, I didn't realize it until the little skip part scenes of the game. I'm not interested in the game. I never play the game. Little shorts of the game. That's when I realized when you start going to the other characters. Buddha is showing favoritisms, to immortal humans.
While the humans are not no directly, being affected by the actions of the immortals. Yet he does not show any particular love or interest in them. Yet he allows the hatred of all those sentient no humans. Today's Buddha is some luck wealth God. You know originally Buddha was supposed to be a equality God. Being that's supposed to love all things fairly. Even though the actual Buddha was never a god at all. He was just an ordinary person. This is not part of the story. This is a real guy.
I love the way you say Erlang shen
Thanks haha just how it is pronounced in Chinese
The character origin of WuKong is Wu ZhiQi
And Hanuman is just a servant never want freedom
Thanks I actually did not know about Wu ZhiQi! thanks for sharing.
And only... To be free
free may be for one but fair for all
Black Myth Wukong may not be the Greatest Representation of Buddhahood or Bodhisattva
but it’s Great Game, and to have Good Action Game, We need “Rage” 🎉🔥✨
this is still matrix or illusion of a pocket dimension m still programming codes
but can make u think.
Asura or Deva
Demons or Celestials
both sides are the counterparts of the SAME COIN.
Good vs Evils became Dubious Nuances.
Because there is no good or evil.
because in the end, it’s still the same energy but usages of that energy is the differences.
Just like a knife 🔪(energy), we use it cut vegetables or stab other beings.
Okay why do I feel WAY more Tuned in to listen to you @HanlinGO! 😂 I think it’s cuz you’re Asian n I trust your input on this 🙌🏾
LOL thanks for the acknowledgement!
这个视频做得真好🎉
谢谢☺️
Good job, and well done.
If we believe human are basicly good, then everybody should re-evaluate the values of things as a human, not obey the values passed from god(others).
If we believe human are basicly evil, then we also needs to think about who is responsible for that? Is it inherited from parents or infused by the God(society)?
"What's in it for you?". Ask questions like Nietzsche, Kant。 Not follow the trained thought from Capitalism and Consumnism.
thanks! well said and I have my latest video discusses the human nature after going into details of the story told in chapter 3. feel free to check it out!
I love tbe game a lot. But making Wukong hate immortality shouldnt have been a thing. Most of the story of journey to the west Wukong is obsessed with his immortality. Including killing people who tease him that he can die just for insulting his immortality. To get the good ending and break the crown i think is a great enough reason for the rest of the game. Because he hates being trapped by that crown.
