I'm surprised I mean 4 pages of discussion in less than 10 hours here wow!

With an original (Despite..similarity to Quan and Ping) character with so much potential, who also seems to have pleased nearly everyone, I'm not too surprised. :D

Looks like KOEI played on the fact that his name is Sun Wukong and made him in a similar style to the men from the Sun family (with the tigerskin)

I'm worried that he'll play abit similar to hideyoshi (not that its a bad thing just would prefer more original MS)

And a quick question to finish it off..... whats wrong with his eyes :huh:

This should answer your question:

Wikipedia:
After several execution attempts failed, Wukong was locked into Lord Lao Zi's eight-way trigram cauldron to be distilled into an elixir by the cauldron's sacred flames, which were thought to be hot enough to consume him. However, after cooking for 49 days, the cauldron exploded and Wukong jumped out, stronger than ever. He now had the ability to recognize evil in any form, through his jīnjīng-huǒyǎn (金睛火眼), or "golden-gaze fiery-eyes".

(Wow he has tiger skin thing too there)


But this one is cooler but if he looks like that, no one will like Lu Bu anymore...

They did it..................Oh my God! I can not imagine fighting between Sun Wu Kong vs Lu Bu...... :lol: but Trully I did not agree with this new characters because this is only legend and truly there is not Sun Wu Kong!!! Xuan Zang went to India only with his horse. Wu Kong only discribing human characters is obdurate, ba jie is hungry, and sa cheng is fool......So It's better for Koei to added Sun Zi or Zhao Kuangyin

I'm sure we can expect it to be some higher pitched one as well. If not it would surprise me. But considering they murdered some of the better ones,
Keiji, Kenshin, <_< him having something completely monkey-like wouldn't be totally unexpected.

I used to love Wukong and the old Chinese TV series (even if it had painfully bad special effects and cheap costumes o.<). But in all of the Wukong spin-offs I've seen, other than DBZ and Shinzo which don't really retain the 'monkey' face at all, this is the first one I've seen dress so... liberally. o_O I mean, he's suppose to be a monk...

Quote:
 
I KNOW that DBZ isn't even based on the Monkey King, just VERY vaguely inspired by it, but having DBZ be such a huge part of Japanese (even American) pop culture makes me wonder...


The original Dragon Ball series was based on Sun Wukong, with other characters from Journey to the West in it as well (eg the Ox King).

He's always had the tigerskin, Koei didn't just drop it in. It's just a co-incidence that he happens to share the same last name with the Sun family.

lol Yes, Sun Wukong, the Monkey King has also the same name as one of my teacher M. Sun & a lot of Chinese ^^ However, his costume reminds some Sun Family (Wu)'s costume too, lol maybe KOEI will play with their similarities ^_^ (and maybe play with Hideyoshi XD as said before)

And great pics everyone with Sun Wukong wearing a Lu Bu looks' costume ^^ & his traditionnal costume ^_^

Wukong: Gimme back my voice actor!! *smacks Hideyoshi around*

Well... maybe that's how I'm going to see it.

Er... anyway do we reach 90 characters now? (My other side sighs that other than Nu Wa there's no brand new female characters...)

I so happy he has a tail. It looks great. And his cloud indeed rushes him forward, wicked fast.

And what's with him becoming VERY big? :blink:

I know he can shape shift, but can he historically (As far as the LEGEND goes...I'm not an idiot) change his size? Is it relevant to his character?
