I like Wukong's reason for returning
"oh he was talkin' shit?! Let's go ! " 😂

[Svolsung]

Came here to learn for black myth wukong but holy this is actually such a interesting and cool story😭🙏

[iTachi-NK]

Need the next part ASAP.The story telling is

[Teddybearjenkins]

Take a shot every time the words “fierce” “determined” and “incredible” are used 😂. You’ll be sloshed

On a real note, thank you for making these . It’s really amazing to have such a thorough summary of the story. It’s an incredibly enjoyable story, and I hope to read it in full one day soon.

Also, it legit already made me have more context and emotional investment within the first couple of hours of Black Myth. ❤

[eazeee]

Who here is waiting on Black Myth Wukong !

[-RONNIE]

Thanks for the another part to the story

[徐文超-yw]

Sun Wukong symbolizes the desire for freedom and independence. He jumped out of the stone, not bound by anything, and pursued an unrestrained life. At the same time, Sun Wukong's fights in the heavenly palace symbolized his resistance to authority and his challenge to tradition. He was dissatisfied with the arrangement of the God Emperor and dared to challenge the authority of the heavenly court. This kind of rebellion symbolized the challenge to feudal autocracy. Although Sun Wukong was awarded the title of official after completing the task of escorting the master, we don't think such an ending is worthy of him. He should be his true self, defeat demons and uphold justice, and be at ease in his Flower and Fruit Mountain. Sun Wukong in the black myth is another expectation we expect from him.

Been waiting on this one lmao only 5 more days till Wukong😩

[Kohbruh]

That monk is a horrible judge of character 😂😂😂

[alvensonsingletonjr.]

Any anime fans catch references from dragon ball and naruto? Kishimoto and Toriyama were clearly inspired by this story of son wukong. I'm so happy I found this out it makes so much sense why some of the characters they created are so interesting.

[xkllaxkv]

[andywallace]

Very condensed but I applaud the author for his time and devotion in making this.

[julienckjm]

[tylercosgrove]

Man these episodes cannot come out soon enough 😩

[franciscoafonso]

Xuanzang FORGIVES Sun Wukong when he returns and save his ass??? He should have BEGGED for Wukong forgiveness!! He unfairly banished him from the beginning! 😑😑
