Một số chi tiết được mổ xẻ nhờ một mem chắc là người TQ.
*
1:40 - The Cicada form is based on Wukong's transformation abilities
*
2:23 - One of Wukong's abilities is the paralysis (body freezing) spell
*
3:28 - This isn't related to the myth, but it's fun to note that most of the Monkey Staff attacks are based on actual Shaolin Kung Fu. One of which you climb the staff (obviously the game exaggerates tho)
*
3:51 - One of Wukong's abilities is the barrier (protective circle) spell
*
4:04 - In the legend Wukong pulls his staff from his fur/ear...so him "sheathing" the lance in his fur/ear seems like a reference to that
*
4:20 - I think this is just an Ogre, is a legendary monster usually depicted as a large, hideous, manlike being that eats ordinary human beings, especially infants and children.
*
4:45 - Shows an Earth God (there are many)
*
6:37 - In the legend Wukong is capable of tranforming into a giant and scary version of himself...this is possibly a reference to that, despite being much smaller
*
8:52 - One of Wukong's abilities is transforming his hairs into clones of himself, like Kage Bunshin no Jutsu from Naruto universe.
*
9:11 - Wukong is often seen taking the appearance of others. Usually it's used to trick his enemies...but in this case it seems devs change it to also get the powers of the one he defeated at around
2:51
*
10:37 - The guy that stops you (the player) is actually Sun Wukong (with the classic metal armor and headpiece with the 2 giant feathers). This is quite a plot twist since we we're led to believe we we're Wukong up until now. And also the five shining characters on the golden staff that block player's attack is "如意金箍棒" (rúyì jīngū bàng), implied that it's the real legendary weapon which wielded by Sun Wukong in the novel
*
11:09 - Wukong is forced to wear a circlet that would cause him extremes headaches. I remember reading in wiki but can't remember if it was done by the Buddha in order to restrain him while he accompanies the monk in his journey to west or as a trick by the Dragon King in retaliation for forcing the Dragon King to gift him weapons. Edit: According to @TheWowWow88, The circlet was granted by Guan Yin to Tripitaka to control Wukong (prevent him from any misdeeds) during his journey.
*
11:30 - This is Lei Shen, the God of Thunder
*
11:34 - I am probably wrong but correct me if i am wrong, that boss looks like Bird God Garuda that came to appear in the Journey to the West.
*
11:38 - This is Juling Shen, a gigant River God
*
11:44 - These are the Four Heavenly Kings, the Buddhist protective deities
*
12:49 - The classic "flying cloud" and we see the dragon flies through the sky which might be Bai Longma, a dragon prince son of the "Dragon King of the West Sea"
*
11:52 - In the legend, Wukong actually invades the heavens, basically beating every god single-handedly and it seems like we'll get to play this part too which is really awesome!
Also, the game didn't really show off just how strong the Ruyi Jingu Bang (monkey staff) is and we can only get to see how it can change size as big as sweeping everyone around him. That's the all the references i got from this teaser like i might skipped some of them but if you see any more references then let me know below, i will edit this message accordingly.
Also, the music at the end of the clip is the iconic theme of the extremely famous "Journey to the West" series in China .
