Some say Journey to the West is a ledger of real-world connections.
Sun Wukong can call on the gods and Buddhas across the heavens for help. Zhu Bajie can win without lifting a finger, while the Golden-Winged Great Peng devoured an entire city and still wasn't killed... This world is teeming with demons, and the gods and Buddhas across the heavens are tangled in karmic ties.
If I were Jin Chanzi, the six-winged ferocious cicada, and my bloodlust awakened, I would slaughter wicked beings and use martial prowess to save people.
If I were the holy monk Tang Sanzang, though I could not save all the countless beings in this world, I would see justice done through every one of the Eighty-One Tribulations.
I'm done pretending. I'll come clean!
I am the great... of the Eastern Land... the ancient ferocious beast, the six-winged ferocious cicada, Jin Chanzi, the sole personal disciple of the Tathagata of the Western Heaven!
You! Dare to bully me?
