JOURNEY TO THE WEST Episode 2
I am back. I am back.
Kids, kids. I am back!
I am your Handsome Monkey King. I am back!
Great King, Great King
Great King, we have been waiting for your return for long.
If you still hadn't come back,
we might be killed by that monster.
Great King, my great grandson have been kidnapped.
Even our cave residence has been taken.
Great King! Great King!
Occupying my Cave residence.
I must get revenge!
Kill him!
My turn now
Chase him, chase him
Ah! Didn't catch it.
I am telling you.
Nowadays, I have a surname.
Great King, what is your surname?
Surname is Sun. First name Wukong.
Great King is Old Sun.
We'd be Second Sun, Third Sun, Slender Sun, SmallSun.
A family of Suns. A country of Suns. A whole lair of Suns.
Look how beautiful it is here.
Just like paradise.
Let's go.
I am Bull Demon King. Please to meet you two fairies.
What fairies!
We are also one of the 72 realms of demon kings.
I am Azure Dragon Demoness.
She is Snowy Roc Demoness.
By the look of it,
don't look a bit like a demon.
You look more human than a human.
We have good blessings
and could discard our demonic forms
and transform into human forms
Practice our asceticism,
one day we will attain immortality and be a deity.
You two have attained the Way.
Old bull pays his respects to Monkey King
I don't deserve it.
From your look, Brother Bull is my senior
age & looks are nothing
its the ability that matters
you defeated the bully monster
and got rid of him.
We are full of respects to you
That's right.
That's why I brought these Kings
pay your respects too
Our respects to the Monkey King!
Seniors... that's too polite of you.
Handsome Monkey King, not only us ugly brutes came,
there are also two beautiful demonesses.
They came too.
That is enough!
Look at you. Your eyeballs are going to pop out.
Why? You could seek the deity from beyond the seas
we could also have a miraculous encounter
we ate the 1000 year old ginseng fruit
& 10,000 snowy lotus
and develop into human forms
Handsome Monkey King, these two angel-like young ladies,
one is Azure Dragon Demoness,
the other is Snowy Roc Demoness.
So it's Bird Sister and Snake Sister.
What bird sister, snake sister!
Look at our appearances now.
Still look like swim in the water, fly in the sky animals??
Exactly.
We already have human names.
She is Azure Ling. I am Snowy Roc.
So it is Roc Sister, Azure Sister.
We don't dare to be called that.
Bull Demon King,
why don't you quickly tell him the reason for our visit.
Since your return
the Flower Fruit Mt.'s fame has spread far
we are in awe of your fame
and we came to become sworn brothers with you
I wonder if...
I have the same intentions
we shall become sworn brothers & sisters now
Good, after this drink
7 of us shall become brothers
Right. We may not be born at the same time,
but may we perish at the same time.
That's right...
Come, bottoms up.
Sister Qing, what's wrong
you may be capable
but the others judge one based on your look
look at your attire
and your weapon
one couldn't see
your ability
the weapon you arm yourself with is nothing
its your ability that matters
Sister Qing is right
with my look
I don't look like your brother
you are the supreme deity
you should not be using these ordinary stuff
if you want a suitable weapon
its not difficult
I wonder if you can swim
I have 72 forms of transformations
Heaven & Earth is accessible to me
not to mention the water
Then, OK
from my study of the geography
the water from your Cave led to the Sea-Dragon palace
the Dragon King has many weapons
ask him for one that suits you
it'll be convenient.
That makes sense.
Stop there, how dare you, a monkey... what do you want?
How dare you intrude our Sea Dragon palace
Who are you?
How dare you stop me
I'm the patrol man
I'm the owner of Flower-Fruit mountain Water-curtain cave
Sun Wukong
I am neighbors with your old Dragon King
announce my arrival quickly
Sun Wukong?
Please wait here, I'll go now.
Deity, this way please
Please drink tea
wonder why you are here in my dragon palace?
I'm training my men to guard my cave today
but I don't have a suitable weapon
I heard that you are rich
and decided to borrow a weapon from you... how's that?
Bring out the 9 ring big blade... Yes
I don't use the blade
Someone
bring me the invincible fork
yes... quick, quickly
This... this its not suitable... too light
change
This is already the 3600 jin (weight)
Too light, change it, change to another one
This... This is still too light?
Bring the 7200 jin one
carry it here... quick
Yes, quickly, quickly, quickly go
Deity, try this one
not good, its still too light
this... deity
these are the heaviest weapon in my palace
there's no other choice... right
Old Dragon King, the old saying
that your stuff is overflowing the palace
you will only be lending me a small weapon
my old neighbor, why are you so stingy?
Deity, I really don't have what you want
I really don't have... your Majesty
From what I see, this person is not ordinary
these days, in the middle of the sea
there's a magical needle
is shining brightly
maybe its fated to meet with this monkey?
When BigYu stop the flooding
he placed it there to stabilize the sea
even if its a magical metal, how useful is it?
Your majesty, we shall not care if its useful
He thinks that our weapons are too light, isn't it?
So, let him take that
If he can take it
then gift it to him
If he can't take it
he cannot blame us
Deity
we found another weapon for you again
where is it... quick, show me
we cannot carry it, please go there yourself
Alright, please
Quick, lets go
quickly
Please, this way
Look here, its this object
Deity, do you like this?
Old Dragon King, this is too thick and long
If it was thinner and shorter that would be better
Smaller and thinner
Smaller, thinner, smaller
Small, smaller, smaller
my magical needle!
Your Majesty... oh, this treasure
is known as the
Ruyi Golden Staff
Deity, please stop
please stop, you have magical power
with the power from this magical needle
all these movement
will shake my East Sea
and create trouble
Old Dragon King, I'm sorry
l just got this weapon
and was too happy
we wouldn't dare
Old Dragon King, be kind
look at me now, I have this weapon
but I don't have a good armour
why don't you give me one?
But... I don't have any
No? I shall not leave this crystal palace
Deity, please look elsewhere for it
maybe you can find it
No, its better to wait at 1 house then to walk to 3 houses
I only want 1 set of armour
Deity, I really don't have that
I have said all the good things
if you still refuse to give it to me
I shall give you a taste of the Golden Staff
Please don't
Let me think
see if my brothers have that
your brothers? Where are they?
They are the South Sea Dragon King
North Sea Dragon King
and West Sea Dragon King
How could I go to those far-way places
don't trouble yourself
I have the golden bell
if l knock on the bell
they will be here soon
North Sea Dragon King gave a pair of shoes
West Sea Dragon King gave a set of golden armour
South Sea Dragon King gave a
Golden Hat
you look awesome
not bad, my old neighbor... thanks
don't mention it
i shall not disturb you further
farewell
Alright, be careful
take care
Brothers, follow me to Heaven's court to report him
Great King, Great King has come back
Great King
Great King! Great King!
Great King, your appearance...
Seems like you've obtained a handful of treasures.
Of course. A Buddha statue needs a coat of gold and people needs clothes.
You are now a true Handsome Monkey King.
Grandpa's weapon looks special.
Can you give it to me to play with?
Give you to play? Ok, ok, give to you.
Ruyi Golden Staff, weighed 13500jin
How could a staff be so heavy?
Move!
Grow.
Big.
Bigger.
Even bigger.
This is awesome!
This treasure of mine has other powers.
You guys watch
Small.
Smaller, can still be smaller
Great King,
looks like you got yourself the ultimate treasure.
A great weapon befits a great hero.
We all wish the super Handsome Monkey King,
to rule the world and unbeatable
Wishing Handsome Monkey King immortality same as the heaven.
Immortality same as the heaven!
Good wine
Come here, come here
Great King, Great King, Great King
Grandpa, everyone has left.
Ghost world?
Isn't this Yama's hell?
Hey! Why am I here?
Your time is up.
We've got order to take you with us.
Rubbish Yama can't control me.
Hey, why take me here while I was drunk?
If Yama wants to take your life by the 3rd geng,
you can't survive past the 5th geng.
Come with us!
I don't need you guys to take me
I'll go ask Yama myself.
Oh no... your Majesty
there's a hairy faced person fighting his way in
What?!
Please tell us your name.
You old King of Hades
Since you don't recognize me
why did you ask your men to bring me here
who are you?
Leave your names so that I could investigate
Listen carefully.
I'm from Flower-Fruit mountain, Water curtain cave
Heaven-born saint Sun Wu Kong
I'm beyond the 3 realms' control, out of the 5 elements
Why did you ask them to take me?
Please don't be angry.
There are lots of people with the same names.
We might have taken the wrong person.
Then,
let me see the Book of Life and Death.
Plea... please...
have a look.
Get away.
What a messy book... I don't understand them
quick, ask them to check the book for me
See if my name is there. Got it?!
Search immediately.
Ok, quick, quick, quick. Search.
Got it! Sun Wukong's name is here.
Born on the Flower Fruit Mt.
Outrageous
what have you been doing?
You knew that I've gained immortality
Why is my name still in the book?
Deity, that's not true
If there's life, there's death. It's the cycle of all beings.
If a person gained immortality
the world would be crowded with people
Shut up!
I know that if a person practiced the Way and gained immortality
one can live in eternity
that's why I suffered a lot
to seek an immortal to gain the Way
why is it not counted here?
Deity should know that even Heaven & Earth has its own timing
there's no such thing as immortality
Then, tell me.
When will heaven end?
When will earth end?
Both end at the same time?
Or heaven ends first. Or earth ends first?
Say it, say it, say it
This...
You don't know neither.
I think you're an idiot.
I only know that I should follow Heaven's rule
with the Heaven rules... there's nothing I can do
The cycle?
Who's in charge?
Tell me, I'll go and find them
If I want to live as long as the heaven and earth,
who should I ask.
I don't know who's in charge of this.
Since no one is in-charge
Then I'll be in charge.
I don't care how long is the lifespan
just draw a stroke over it
Get away!
Give me a pen brush!
Here.
Where is the name of Sun Wu Kong?
Find it for me
ask them to find all those monkeys with family name of Sun
and show me
if you draw a stroke over all the monkeys
I would be in trouble and will lose my job
Quick... check those names
quickly
Yes, yes, search immediately.
All the monkeys with Sun as a surname are all here.
All here?
Yes... all here.
Now, Yama can't be in charge of me.
Great King, Great King
Great King, you are awake?
Great King, how much wine did you drink?
That's right, since noon
you have slept till sunset
I had a dream?
I dream of 2 soul-snatching ghost
who took me to Hades
I created trouble in Hades
and canceled everyone's name
all of you are no longer under King of Hades' control
that means that we, monkey family
will live forever?
Like Great King, live as long as Heaven
that means that I, Old monkey will not die?
That's right
all of you will not die
you will live forever... as long as you like
Reporting to Jade Emperor there's a monkey from Flower-Fruit Mountain
learned the Way
and intrude into East Sea and bullied me
snatched our armour
and my magical needle that stabilized the sea
please use your Heaven soldiers to catch this demon
to return peace to our sea and earth
I have understood
King of Hades, how did the stone monkey bullied you.
Jade Emperor, that demonic monkey's lifespan has ended
I tried to summon his soul
but he refused to comply
created trouble in Hades & killed some ghost guards
and canceled all names of the monkey from Flower-Fruit Mountain
please dispatch your Heaven soldiers to capture this demonic monkey
to return the Yin-Yang balance to normal
wonder which one of you wants to do this job
Hold on, your Majesty from what I gathered
why don't you send an edict to take him under your charge
and summon him here
give him a small officer post
if he takes your order
we can promote him later
if he don't
we may capture him
1. we don't need to waste so much effort
2. we can show your Majesty's benevolence
sounds alright, we shall follow Great White Star's deity's suggestion
your majesty... what should we do?
Great King Sister Pian Pian
Besides your face and your hairy body
you looked almost like a human being
there's nothing great about being human
I'm not looking down on both sisters
don't panic... I understand
both of us may have gained human form
but its only a beautiful skin
our powers did not improve
if not... that demonic king
would not have create trouble
by exterminating him
you helped to remove an evil being
I'm not talking about the magical powers
I came to understand that being a human
is not as happy as being a beast
but from what I observed
you don't look happy too
I'm thinking
if my parents are still alive
I would strike them off
that life-death book
that will be too great
even thou you don't have parents
but you have 6 of us, your sworn siblings
you are right
look, we are so close now
I address you as Sister Pian Pian
don't call me Great King
just call me Stone Monkey
you have a name
can I call you Wu Kong?
Alright, as you like
call me Wu Kong or just Monkey... as you like
Brother
there's an old man from Heaven known as Great White Star Deity
Great White Star Deity?
Good
I'm here with an imperial edict for you
inviting you to Heaven's palace to assume an officer position
is it a great position?
That's right
Congrats, Great King will be an immortal now
An immortal... that's good
that's good good
an immortal
Monkey, are you really going?
Think about it
you were at the Sea Dragon Palace for the treasures
and you even created trouble at Hades
it seems that
they would have complained about you
Heaven palace summoned you suddenly
what good tidings would that be?
With your abilities, my brother
what are you scared of?
If they dare to bully me
I would tear their palace down
its better to be careful
but you should not misunderstood
another's intention as bad
Pian Pian... what do you mean?
If Monkey goes to Heaven
he would be ranked as an immortal
don't forget, we may not be a demon
but we are still a beastly being
that will set us apart
Wu Kong, come here
Wu Kong, listen to me
Please don't go
Never mind whether they have good or bad intentions
but if you go
we cannot see you so easily
Sister Pian Pian, relax
when I'm settled down in Heaven
I shall come back for all of you
Grandpa, I'll miss you what do we do?
Little one... be good, Grandpa goes to Heaven to play
if its not fun, I'll come back
to look for you all
I shall play in Heaven
Stop
who are you?
You are not allowed to enter Heaven's gate
who am I? I still want to ask 'Who are you'?
I'm the Heaven's gate King Zhen
I'm a guest of Jade Emperor
why? You dare to block my way?
King... stop
stop
stop... stop
you old man, why did you lie to me?
You said Jade Emperor summoned me
why are they stopping me
from entering?
Please be appeased, Great King
this is your first time here
without the Edict as proof
they did not know you
how could they let you enter
when we meet Jade Emperor later
got your immortal title and official position
you may enter as you wish, no one will stop you
what rubbish
its so troublesome... I'm not going
Great King, I shall enter with you
nope... I shall enter with you
your Majesty, following your Edict
the demonic deity is here
its you
its me, I'm Old Sun
Demonic monkey, seeing Jade Emperor
why didn't you kneel... how dare you said those words
who are you?

and is rude, please issue your order

being new here... without any prior knowledge
its pardonable
thanks his grace

Military Star Deity... yes
