Talk:Sun Wukong

Wukong>Goku
Is Sun Wukong the inspiration for Goku (from Dragonball) as they share the same name (Goku), Wukong travells on a cloud in-game (as does Goku on "The Flying Nimbus") and his weapon is a red staff that can extend (a similar weapon that Goku uses in the Dragonball saga).

Yes, he is. They even have the exact same name, only in different language readings since both Chinese and Japanese share much of the same characters. So basically, Wukong himself can go "SAIYAN STOLE MAI NAME". SneaselSawashiro (talk) 00:09, April 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * No. Son Goku is just how Japanese people pronounce Sun Wukong. Both Dragon Ball and Warriors Orochi are taking their inspiration from the Chinese epic, Journey to the West. The fact they both have similarities is due to pulling from the same source material not because one version inspired the other. There's also the fact that Dragon Ball existed long before Warriors Orochi, so I find it hard to see how the former was inspired by the latter. Not to mention these two are far from the only examples of people creating their own versions Sun Wukong. Kyosei (talk) 20:56, April 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * Please listen to Kyosei on this one. Monkey King has many different interpretations that share similarities only because they all take some sort of inspiration from Journey to The West. Sake neko (talk) 00:14, April 27, 2015 (UTC)
