“oh no there’s vore in this one” beautiful line, red continues to be a perfect writer
Fun fact: This is not the last time Sun Wukong gets vored
In fact there’s one specific chapter which literally plays out like some kind of vore fic where Wukong gets swallowed and kinda fucks around in the demon’s stomach for an uncomfortably long time
@@cartoonishidealism582 sorta like that one ep of adventure time with the party bears
IKR! I howled so loud I summoned my husband from the other side of the house XDXDXD
When I first saw this. I thought she said “four,” as in “oh no, Monkey King has four ‘very clever ideas’ in this story alone.”
Which is equally funny.
Sun Wukong: *let’s himself get swallowed to fight an enemy from the inside*
Me: *remembers Goku’s fight with Piccolo at the 23rd Budokai* “Huh, so that’s where he got it from.”
Fun fact: the Bull Demon King’s mount at 8:15 is repeatedly described as a “water-repellent golden-eyed beast”. Nothing else about it is ever elaborated upon, only that it has golden eyes and is waterproof.
Sounds like a golden retriever
well it’s also said to be able to be rode into the sky or into water, and that it is a descendent of a dragon
@@cobiandiego5896ah, so it might be a qilin of sorts?
So logically, his mount is obviously a large duck with golden eyes.
@@Suyihai0 a golden retriever is neither golden-eyed, nor waterproof, sorry.
Just the escalation from ‘a mountain is on fire’ to ‘ *the entire forces of heaven is pursuing the bad guy which promptly ignites several literal kaiju battles* ‘ is both absolutely hilarious and extremely epic. Once again, thank you for this wonderful episode everything exceeded what i had initially anticipated. ❤
I like to think that absolutely *everybody* in Heaven is onboard with the idea of Monkey actually grinding for WIS and so they’re a little more willing to help him out, lest he revert back to his old “Great Sage” ways.
fun fact, The Flaming Mountain was based on a real mountain in Xinjiang, it is now a famous tourist spot and I visited when I was a kid, shop owners there like to sell mineral waters that were completely frozen to an ice chunk and temperature there can often go as high as 50 degree, making it one of the hottest place(if not the hottest) in china. i can still recall when I was a kid who is dying of thirst and somehow everyone is selling frozen mineral water, there is literally no liquid in the mineral water bottle, it was a hell of an experience for an 8 years old, not to mention my parents insists me to visit the mountain where “the great monkey king” has fought on and dragged me from our car to the tourist attraction spot.
My fellow Americans: I’m pretty sure that’s 50 degrees Celsius, which is over 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Pretty hot.
122 degrees Fahrenheit. Phoenix, AZ gets that hot every year. I love the Sonoran desert.
Your service is immeasurable
14:14 And it’s Journey To The West with the Villain Redemption trope!
Honestly though, it’s strangely sweet to see that the spiritual through-line of bettering oneself through Buddhism can apply to the villains too. We’ve seen a bit of it with Red Son I think, but to have a former villain decide to change their life for themselves and Sun Wukong encouraging that change by keeping to his word and returning the fan feels like some great development.
Wonder woman
Yeah, and whereas Demon Bull King kept being stubborn even when Princess Iron Fan pleaded enough was enough, she decided to let go of her anger and pride to become human while her husband got essentially carted off to jail.
It’s interesting that we’re starting to see real growth in Sun here. He handles this whole situation by himself, the rest of the group are barely mentioned, but he handles it pretty responsibly. He’s trying to do good deeds and doesn’t immediately resort to violence. Seems fitting for an episode with a major boss fight.
You gotta give Bull Demon King his props, he put up a hell of a fight.
Man went straight Equal to Heaven here and only went down *because* he was dealing with Sun *and* a Heaven that was preparing _for_ Sun at the same time. Kinda ridiculous and awesome.
It took the whole middle segment from ‘ultimate showdown of ultimate desitiny’ to take him down I swear lol
he’s considered sun’s match in every way even his title is Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven which is equal to sun’s title
“Its okay, he still didnt break my record” perfect no notes
he really was a 5 phase boss fight
Sun screaming “SHES A LOVELY WOMAN” killed me and also “Boy I really don’t deserve you, huh?”
omg the entire espionage and moment with the ex wife. The Bull King never deserved that lady >:|
Anyone know the soundtrack used at the end?
I like how in a tale where Sun solves a trouble that was at least partially caused by him showing how much he changed already and his disposition to do that he also grants the same to Princess Iron Fan by recognizing her sinceriry and giving her fan back. Like he is becoming a better person so she can as well and he is all for it.
This story has so many moments of “well, that escalated quickly” starting from a fire mountain blocking the way, to battles between armies, to kaiju fights, and an indirect intervention from the Buddha to boost. Also, I find it’s funny that sometime problems are solved because Wukong’s reputation precede him, and sometimes people decided to pick fight with the only Monkey that fought the full force of Heaven and was winning.
