I just read about Sun Wukong and how he became a god in a book called Myths & Legends From Around the World. I love how closely Goku resembles the Monkey King. Even his name, Son Goku, actually translates to Sun Wukong. It's easy to see where the creator got his inspiration from.

One of my favourite legends of all time. I watched the animated series as a kid and it inspired me eve r since. For Dragon Ball to be based of it is just icing on the cake.

I can't wait for the monkey king to meet Kratos and join him on his journey to the west

This story is actually so amazing! It symbolises the birth of every spiritual leader or philosopher - how they grow to understand others and their different perspectives, how they gain trust and respect, how they slowly and steadily push the other people around them towards a better balanced life and of course their own internal concerns and understanding of that greater obstacles in life beyond the simple ones of which we deal with every day. Thank your sharing this with us! (I should really dive more seriously into more different mythologies than my usual ones, this is real gold!)

And this was Akira Toriyama`s idea of "a journey to the west."

I still don’t know if this guy ever met Hanuman, the Hindu Monkey God. I’m pretty sure they’d get along quite well.

RIP Akira Toriyama….thank you for the character inspired by this Deity….🙏

[bluebelt]

Finally. I was wondering if you weren’t interested in Chinese mythology. Do you think you could make summary videos on other legends. Like Nüwa, Erlang Shen, the Magic Lotus Lantern?
