There are many. The problem is that Wukong is essentially China's medieval superhero so a lot of them are tailored for kids. Upheavel in Heaven,th-cam.com/video/Hu0XosgxCyU/w-d-xo.html, for example tells the story in the 1960s but most people will see it the same level as the three little pigs cartoon. It'll depend on whether you want lore, artistry or simply cool fights. One of the more recent things I came across was God of High School, th-cam.com/video/lVc8KxCZ-Rk/w-d-xo.html, it's essentially a battle anime that starts of showcasing different martial arts and culminating in manifesting God powers at the end of the season. The wukong fight was pretty good. Unfortunately I haven't seen many that showcase the art style you see because Wukong is basically an action hero. So you'll either get operatic, kid cartoons or action cartoons.
@@comma1737 I see, thanks for the comment, this game has made me wildly interested in the whole journey to the west/ Chinese mythology, I’ll have to check those out for sure.
The only elder monk who’s obsessed with Kasaya is the guy that got burnt in the middle of night. He’s friend with the bear, and the bear is with the white snake.
3:40 I'm pretty good, thank you for asking! My mind was filled with bad thoughts lately, but they're gone now, I even got more proactive and went to the dentist to take my wisdom teeth out! And I told the woman I like that I like her, finally got the courage, we've been talking for the last two years so I think what I'm feeling is real! The only problem is that she owns a grocery store and has no time to go out, that's sad... But she accepted it pretty well! I'm really feeling happy!
Your videos are actually like a mental help for me, as I can easily forget about all shit that is going on outside. So thank you man for your content. You are really great content maker :) For the better understanding, I'm in Kyiv from the begging of the war.
So, you asked at the end of the video if those who hadn't read the Journey To The West would understand what's going on in this chapter. Well, I've never had the opportunity to read it, (just pick up bits and pieces overall), and I don't understand Chinese, but I can say that the devs did an excellent job with telling the story of what's going on, with this, and every other chapter. I still don't know all the finer details that someone would get from reading JTTW, but I certainly was able to understand the plot and how the characters know each other.
THANK YOU FOR THE EXPLANATION I found out just now that I got all the way to yellow sands sage without having rung the third bell. and the explanation makes so much more sense with the backstory of journey to the west. Honestly, your explanations are underrated
It's really dope to see you play this game and help give understanding to the storytelling. Absolutely love this game so far, and as for how I'm doing I just had a medical procedure done and am hopefully on the road to recovery now. Excited for the next episode, take care Square 🙏🏻
I just finished the game today and I am getting a lot out of your explanations as you play through. Going to hit up NG+ soon armed with the extra understanding. As always, great video!
Absolutely loving your explanations, i was able to get Some Form of Story together but actually hearing whats actually going on is really interesting Also your Video style is very relaxing to watch so its Just a good experience. Looking forward to the other chapters!
Easily the best playthough of this game I've come across. The way you add so much background to the story and characters makes this 100 times more enjoyable. And I'm saying this after I've already played though it 3 times and got the platinum for it.
Oh my God, I found the perfect video series of Black Myth Wukong. Not only are you entertaining, but you are helping me with appreciating the faithful links to JTTW.
Been checking your channel for that last few days for pt 2, love your explanation of the lore, I learned so much about the game from your explanations, second play through will be so much richer because of your videos. Cant wait for pt3. Thanks!
Broo you uploaded right when I was thinking about it XD And your explanation is top tier! I've watched the tv show when I was a kid but forgot most of it and you helped a lot by explaining it!
The algorithm may not have picked this vid up the same way as the first but please keep this series up, I love hearing your authentic connections and explanations of the source material! The breakdowns are my favorite part! ❤️
Lets GO. So glad you're enjoying this. It's such an amazing game. I actually beat the bear before Jinchu, so you can do them in either order. I've been looking up names and reading up on lore too as I go through the game to get a better understanding of whats going on, and I think it's great. Also, as someone who's been a Zen Buddhist most of his life, saying that we try to break the matrix might be the best description of Zen I've ever heard. Especially with Zen, hacking ones mind to reprogram oneself is how I view the core of zazen. I always likened it to jumping down the rabbit hole, but your analogy has mine beat. Can't wait to see you tackle Chapter 2. Be safe brother.
What’s up!! Thanks for all the info you provide while playing. I’ve beaten the game twice and was able to grasp certain things but not all. Your commentary is filling in the gaps for me🙏 thank you
As an ABC continually trying to learn more about my culture, the story explanations were amazing for me. I had no idea about background of chapter 1 and the way you linked it to the story made me appreciate the game even more. I'm on chapter 5 now and I'm really looking forward to the future chapters. Thanks for this brother
Man. I watch this ending chapter anime a lot, with other players reacting to it, and even only on my own(because I love the meaning of it, the art style and also the plot story). U are one of the few players that actually understands it fundamentally, and appreciates that a whole freaking lot lol. And that gives a thumbs up from me. Thanks man. And btw I'm Vietnamese too, so yeah, this Journey to the West thing is very familiar to me just like u guys haha.
Couldn't wait for this so glad I discovered your channel the mix of gameplay and entertaining commentary add the editing makes your videos so good spent whole weekend binge watching your older playthroughs and so looking forward to the rest of the series stay well my friend keep up the great work
Can't wait to see you cover the rest of this game, I've been looking for people like you who know the story of jttw going into it. Makes the experience so much better.
You talking about journey to the west reminds me why I like that story. Buddhism and Taoism are both beliefs worthy of respect in my opinion, so the way the journey to the west approaches and show the ways they coexist is really nice.
I'm glad i came across your video, I am from India and I don't know much about Chinese mythology. This shit is dope and nice explanation bro, straight 10/10. Looking forward to see more of these 🙌🏻
I did some extensive research on JTTW before playing the game so I could understand and appreciate it a lot more, but even then I can’t even begin to imagine what it must be like for legends that some folk have grown up with to be brought to life in such a way
I think the Portraits in the pause menu goes into some of the story behind the enemies and bosses. At least, I think it mentions a bit on what happened since the end of the Journey
Guangzhi: Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming right toward me? Destined One: *Monke Noises* (Approximate translation: I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer.) Guangzhi: Then by all means, come as close as you'd like!
depending on the teller/story the Six-Eared macaque is either formed from sun wu kongs thoughts or one of the 4 primordial/celestial primates those 4 being Stone-Monkey of Luminous Wisdom (Lingming shihou) (i.e. Sun Wukong), Red-Buttocked Horse-Monkey (Chikao mahou), Long-Armed Gibbon (Tongbi yuanhou), Six-Eared Macaque (Liu'er mihou).
Also 1 tip and a very small spoiler in chapter 2 there is a double boss and if you defeat the big one before the small one you will miss out on a spirit so defeat the small one first
The game is amazing. I’m in the fourth chapter, and it’s got these side missions that take you to new places and bosses, like Purple Cloud Mountain, which is gorgeous, or Zodiac Village. Hopefully, this will remind some Western companies of what they’ve lost. A lot of so-called triple-A games are a joke, and movies and TV shows are even worse.
The animations at the end of chapters blew my mind especially the last couple, makes me want a wukong anime 🤣
there already is one! that shit was my childhood tbh
Would recommend the movie “Monkey King: Hero is back”

Best of luck with your lady my friend
You have chosen to introduce the world to your dog, unfortunately the world now humbly requests more facecam ft. Dog
Thank you
Your videos are actually like a mental help for me, as I can easily forget about all shit that is going on outside. So thank you man for your content. You are really great content maker :)
For the better understanding, I'm in Kyiv from the begging of the war.
If this game doesn't win or AT LEAST getting nominated for GOTY, we're about to see live-action Havoc in Heaven for real

3:50 this was a nice thing to hear. I haven’t been doing well but watching these videos of your has helped me. Thank you for the random care.
Oh my God, I found the perfect video series of Black Myth Wukong.
Not only are you entertaining, but you are helping me with appreciating the faithful links to JTTW.
I just got platinum this game today, it incredible

Honesty, I felt that. Such an amazing game!

Thanks for this brother
"Am I allowed to cry?" Same reaction when I got to that part bro 😂

have you ever seen "Fog Hill of Five Elements"? if not i highly recommend it. its a chinese anime and its beautiful.

its nice to react to someone who actually knows the lore. lol
What's up? 😅
I really like you mentioning small details here and there. I find myself appreciating the game more because of the little things.
When the time comes soon, this game needs to be voted as game of the year for sure
