If you liked this, I really recommend Overly Sarcastic Production's "Journey to the west" series. It's a hand drawn animation with a great narrator too. Also, it's a continuation of this story
EC: Detailed descriptions of mythologies OSP: “So he had his manners and bowed in his 4 cardinal directions and accidentally activated his LASER EYES.”
Meanwhile the Dragon Ball one is a naive fool who stole the monkey king's pig friend's gluttony (Yes, Sun Wukong and Son Gokuu are the same exact name)

The monkey king, or Journey to the West, is a longgggg story. Like longer than Lord of the rings. Though every Chinese person knows the story. A true classic since 1592.
My current translation of Journey to the West is 4 700 page volumes. It’s the second longest book I’ve ever read after the Ramayana. I’m fairly sure it’s longer than anything in the western cannon.
Extra: “Did Sun Wukong ever find the secret to immortality?” Let see, Wukong studied Taoism from his master and became an immortal, ate the peaches from the queen’s garden, now double immortal, drank the heavenly booze and became triple immortal, ate some elixir and became quad immortal. Now Sun Wukong is (IMMORTAL)^4
I love when EM and OSP tell the same myths, they have such a different way of telling them and have different parts of the mythos that they consider important to put in their story.
@Redsand sorry Years ago a gamefaqs board talking about both Xiba from SC5 and DB Wukong/Gokuu pretty much asked the question "is the original monkey king a hungry idiot?" Far from the truth despite what you see in adaptations like Dragon Ball and Gensoumaden (and several other big-eater Monkey King Lites). Sociopath trickster is the more accurate term.
NEXT TIME ON THE MONKEY KING!!! WILL THE MONKEY KING ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY? WILL HE RETURN TO HIS BRETHREN SUCCESSFUL?? WILL THIS STORY TAKE A RIDICULOUS NUMBER OF EPISODES TO COMPLETE??? FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON THE MONKEY KING!!!!
Born from an egg on a mountain High, Monkey was funky and that's no lie, He knew every magic trick under the sun, He teased the gods and everyone and had some fun, Monkey Magic, Monkey Magic, Monkey Magic, Monkey Magic...
"to find out, you'll have to come back to the camp next time." next time: "so to find out if sun wukong will succeed in becoming quadruply immortal or not, you'll have to come back next time."
I've been reading an abridged version of Journey to the West recently, and I think it's awesome that you guys are covering this story at the same time!
I dreamed I was teaching a bible class this morning and my grandparents were students and they were complaining that I was lying about what the bible said and I offered to show them the verses and I eventually said, "Myths are not stories that are untrue." I could almost hear the musical cues from your series. :)
The impulsive monkey king then set out to challenge intelligent animals, mortals, demons and aliens to fistfights for the fate of the galaxy, a fate that would not've been imperiled if he had just stayed out of the way.
Oh I love this story, it’s one of my favorite story back during my childhood. I had just finishing chatting with my dad about this story. And I had just got started on watching Doraemon movie on the Monkey King. Until I stumble upon this video. But I will not tell you want happen next in this story. Keep watching this series if you want to know more. Also Extra Credit keep up the good work!
I’m so delighted to see Chinese mythology getting attention lately! There’s so many good legends out there, and many creatures/much of the culture has influenced fun aspects of Korean/Japanese mythology as well. ^^
This story is so awesome! I know a great deal of spoilers from Overly Sarcastic Productions though, and for those who haven't seen Red's videos on this story... get ready for a great deal of hijinks and adventures with Sun Wukong hehehe
I remember talking about this in my 7th Grade World History class! That was one of my favorite classes because I enjoy learning about different cultures! Nice vid btw!
As i read this story from when i was a child, i learnt to know that this monkey is the funniest thing from the 4 famous Chinese stories, you guys should cover the remaining 3 stories by the way, they're really interesting and amazing
Just finished "Crazy Horse and Custer: The Parallel Lives of Two American Warriors" by Stephen E. Ambrose on Audible. I have a 45 minute commute each morning and evening and audio books are a great way to pass the time. I love history (shout out to Extra Credits History!). In late March "The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home" from the creators of the Welcome to Nightvale podcast comes out. That should be a great fictional listen as well.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ive been waiting for this channel to do episodes on the journey to the west !!!!! Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much as I do love the OSP videos about this story, I gotta give credit to the art shown here. I could totally see illustrations like this being in a picture book adaption.
For Audible, I've taken a massive shine to anything in the LitRPG genre. There are so many great ideas and creative authors working with game-like world mechanics.
OSP did Sun Wukong in one episode. EC is taking several. If EC does Journey to the West we'll never get another Extra Mythology again.... based on that episode radio.
Last month,I was in Angkor Wat and our tour guide told us that the monkey king fought with the good gods while we are looking at a carving of a battle.
Sun Wukong, also known as Son Goku in many Chinese mythologies, eventually achieved immortality and became the Triumphant Buddha after killing 7781 demons alongside with his comrades and his "master"/teacher, which became Gods in their own rights. The story "Journey to the West" tells the tale from beginning to end from Wukong's creation to him finally ascending to Godhood.
you guys should do Polynesian mythology, surely the most widespread mythology on earth,.Maui stories are told from New Zealand to Hawaii to Rapanui (Easter island) and everywhere in between
Overly Sarcastic Production:
"So he is now tripply immortal!?"
"Did somebody say *IMPULSIVE* ?"
And thoroughly drunk if I remember correctly.
At the quadruple immortal point Suddenly Sober if i recall
"Guess what Sun Wukong will do next?"
@@ecilaflameshe221 EAT THEM EAT THEM ALL

Proceeds to piss of every deity in all 3 of chinas religeons

Last time on journey to the west...
So there was this magic rock....
If you liked this, I really recommend Overly Sarcastic Production's "Journey to the west" series. It's a hand drawn animation with a great narrator too. Also, it's a continuation of this story
Sai Darkslash I knew someone was gonna bring them up. Highly recommend them as well ^^
Haza a man of quality
Queue Dragon Ball intro music
It's so great!
The Great race to finish JttW begins! A new challenger approaches!
Anybody else hear Red from OSP in the distance screaming "Did somebody say hijjnks?!"
Timestamp?
I hear the "DID someone say impulse!" :)
XD
I’m waiting for the next episode, takes like 5 months to make one...
I was thinking:
"This ends with him imortal 6 ways from sunday and trapped under a moutian"
"Did Sun Wukong ever find out the Secret of Immortality?"
hahahahahahahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ahhahaha He found three of them
@@garrilrumampuk1811He became Quintuple imortal!
He is 4 parallel universes ahead of you
No
He found all 4 methods of immortality
EC: Detailed descriptions of mythologies
OSP: “So he had his manners and bowed in his 4 cardinal directions and accidentally activated his LASER EYES.”
Honestly, that they glossed over that tells me either Red is all about the hyperbole, or EC just doesn't know humor.
The laser eyes thing happened in The Journey West.
@@Rina-jl1bq wait a minute, are you saying that it's a seperate story that overlapped with an original monkey king story?
A.H.S. yes
The Journey West is the original source of the monkey king story.
Wait this isn’t Overly Sarcastic Production?
im as confused as you.
When will Red ever finish summarizing that book
I am so glad I’m not the only one who saw the name and went “YAWHAT?!!?”
I was excited for a moment there
@Deirvin Davis not to mention that Journey to the West is episodic in nature. So you have hundreds of isolated stories among the main journey.
"And he was named SUN WUKONG"
The entire celestial berocracy suddenly got a splitting headache, a portent of things to come. MONKEY BUSINES to come :D
This video: exsists
Overly sarcastic productions:I'm 4 parallel universes ahead of you

Woah, Chad monkey king bro dude was actually sun wukong... Didn't see that coming!
Meanwhile the Dragon Ball one is a naive fool who stole the monkey king's pig friend's gluttony
(Yes, Sun Wukong and Son Gokuu are the same exact name)
Kyle Murg yeah
OSP: This is a tale that will take time to tell.
Extra Credits: Hold my Mythology.
"Did Sun Wukong ever discover the secret to immortality?"
Several times, actually.
Through a variety of methods
He is quadrupley immortal.
@@evilproductionstudios9659 Every single peach is one immortality, he ate hundreds. He's several hundreds of times immortal.
evil leafy Production studios x5 actually

This makes me want to go to OSP and rewatch journey ball Z (journey to the West)
I think you mean Journey Ball Z Kai
I think you me Journey Ball Z GT
Guys, they are clearly talking about journey ball z abridged
OSP journey to the west.
Each part comes out at Christmas..... so its technically a Christmas show now
Am I the only person who's never heard of journey ball z?
The monkey king, or Journey to the West, is a longgggg story. Like longer than Lord of the rings. Though every Chinese person knows the story. A true classic since 1592.
The names alone would make a book longer than lord of the rings
So Journey to the West is to Lord of the Rings, as Romance of the Three Kingdoms is to The Illiad/Odyssey?
@@draco84oz Not really. Journey to the West is much much older than LOTR
@@HenningGu he is talking about size not age
My current translation of Journey to the West is 4 700 page volumes. It’s the second longest book I’ve ever read after the Ramayana. I’m fairly sure it’s longer than anything in the western cannon.
Extra:
“Did Sun Wukong ever find the secret to immortality?”
Let see, Wukong studied Taoism from his master and became an immortal, ate the peaches from the queen’s garden, now double immortal, drank the heavenly booze and became triple immortal, ate some elixir and became quad immortal.
Now Sun Wukong is
(IMMORTAL)^4
But also lost one of his immortality
Also erased his own name from the book of death
When you need to become 5x immortal, so you beat up all of the employees of hell until they let you can change your year of death to "never".
Actually every peach makes him immortal so he is like 1000 so times immortal.
It’s not the matter of “If he could find immortality”, but “ when will he find another way to be immortal.”
"Did Somebody Say 'Impulsive?'"
-Red, 1st Part of The Journey to the West Summarized, OSP
I love when EM and OSP tell the same myths, they have such a different way of telling them and have different parts of the mythos that they consider important to put in their story.
Oh finally someone positive! Everyone else is bashing EM or claiming EM is copying OSP.
+
Me: gets 1 minute into the video
Me: I should rewatch the OSP series for the twelfth time
Elfriend 23 only the twelfth time? Pathetic
You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookies numbers
Did somebody say impulsive???
Mhm.
Everyone else who commented.
I like the fact after becoming a king he got depressed and gone full gilgamesh
Occupational hazard.
Ladies & Gentlemen: The story that inspired Dragonball & It’s Leading character, Son Goku. C:
Who also stole his name and converted into Japanese
And his pig friend's gluttony
To be honest, I rather remember this as a literal masterpiece and not a Japanese anime
That and wukong in League of Legends
Now you know why the countryside in Dragon Ball looks like a Chinese watercolor.
@Redsand sorry

And then sit there for a year waiting for another episode. (Still kinda bitter)
Facts
Me who has been watching osp:

Find out on the next episode of MONKEY KING Z!
Keya Aghaei nobody cares
If you're an Asian, you'll know this story is gonna be a very very very long one :)
if you know of OverlySarcastic you also know how long this story is
Yea we have about 1000000000 monsters to fight
Not that long, just only 7 years. The rest is an another story.
So is this series going to take over Extra Mythlogy for years?
"No more monkey's jumping on the bed!"
See this is why we don't like going to the doctor's. He always says bad things.
I like Overly Sarcastic's rendition of the Money King better.
Here comes the "money"
Agreed. This design bothers me and idk why.
Some unexplained details in OSP's version are explained in the EC version here.
Monkey:
Everybody:
Monkey: *puts on human clothing*
Everybody: "Ah yes, another human being like ourselves."

The backstory
I've been reading an abridged version of Journey to the West recently, and I think it's awesome that you guys are covering this story at the same time!
You guys should just do a collaboration with Overly Sarcastic Production.
Yes.
yes
They did for one video once.
They already diddddd
I found this channel through a collab with them
Watch the OSP version of this it’s amazing
@Nat20 Damage Overly Sarcastic Productions.
They have an ongoing series talking about Journey to the West. It's currently in seven parts.
Just watch Overly Sarcastic Productions "Journey to the West". For the moment there are 7 parts.
They are less than halfway through.
@@nicholasavasthi9879 its 200000 page long! Give them a break!
Gee, did Sun Wukong ever find immortality......... hahaha..... oh he found immortal alright... and caused a lot of trouble along the way.
Quintuple immortality! X°°D
You mean he caused some... Havoc in Heaven?
To be fair he got immortality before he started causing trouble. After he caused issues his immortality only multiplied.
I dreamed I was teaching a bible class this morning and my grandparents were students and they were complaining that I was lying about what the bible said and I offered to show them the verses and I eventually said, "Myths are not stories that are untrue."

"what do you remember of your birth?"
"I didn't exist. and then I existed."
EC: “Will he discover the secret to immortality?”
OSP Red: ~coughs~
OSP Blue: “As a matter of fact... Ninjas! Oh god!”
Ah yes, the original Goku
Before that hanuman
The impulsive monkey king then set out to challenge intelligent animals, mortals, demons and aliens to fistfights for the fate of the galaxy, a fate that would not've been imperiled if he had just stayed out of the way.

What if the whole story is just Sun Wukong tripping on the magic mushrooms from the rock?
Magic Mushrooms? A Stoned Monkey?
Sounds like my college days.
I assure you, that is exactly what the story is about
My only thought through all of this was just “*OSP Intensifies*”
DID SOMEBODY SAY.. HIJINKS!?

So....Super Saiyan God 4?

“Mom can we have OSP?”
“No we have OSP at home”

This series is going to take a LONG time. Sun Wukong gets up to SO MUCH SHENANIGANS.
so is extra credits gonna finish what has taken overly sarcastic production forever? is this some form of challenge

Imma find the secret to immortality
this is amazing! i love learning about myths
*LAST TIME, ON JOURNEY TO THE WEST* Oh, wait,...wrong channel
Last month,I was in Angkor Wat and our tour guide told us that the monkey king fought with the good gods while we are looking at a carving of a battle.
Not only was Sun Wukong born very high and surrounded by magic mushrooms. But he also came into the world stoned 🤣🤣🤣

“DID SOMEONE SAY IMPULSIVE”
