Black Myth Wukong - Chapter 1 Ending Cutscene (4K Animation) 

I love the irony of "How shall they show the world their ties are cut, and their lust is quelled? " Its like how can I say that I don't care about money if I don't have money at the first place. There has no way to prove it.

Visually stunning and carried a very deep message!!! GREAT ANIMATION! When someone becomes a monk, they’re expected to let go of all worldly desires-things like wealth, ambition, and material possessions. I honestly never imagined that something like a kasaya, a monk’s robe, could become as coveted in the monk’s world as jewelry is to regular people. In the original story, Elder Jinchi, already has an entire storage full of kasayas collection. Yet, it’s never enough for him. The animation captures this perfectly, showing him controlling all these kasayas and making them swirl around like he’s obsessed. Meanwhile, the kasaya that Tang Sanzang (Tang Shan Zhang) has is on a whole other level. Some say it’s not only adorned with pearls but was actually given to him by the goddess Guanyin herself.And this is where things take a dark turn. Elder Jinchi becomes so obsessed with Tang Sanzang's kasaya that he’s even willing to kill for it. It’s honestly sad how all of his years of hard work and dedication to be a high ranking monk, get vanish in an instant only because a piece of cloth The story really shows how even those who are supposed to be free from worldly attachments can still fall victim to them. Bonus Trivia: The frog at the beginning of the animation represents the Chinese Gold Toad. You can easily find this gold toad statue in Chinese stores-a toad with a coin in its mouth-usually placed near the cashier, as it's believed to attract wealth. This is why, in the animation, the frog leads the young Elder Jinchi to the bear spirit and its precious items

Jinchi: I have to get fame and fortune before I can prove that I don't care about it.

Insane animation and music quality.

Ending of Chapter 1: A child named Jin Chi had wanted to become a monk since childhood. One day, he encountered a black bear who took a liking to him. The bear saw that Jin Chi was chasing after a golden toad, so it gave him the treasure. Seeing that Jin Chi had nowhere to go, the bear directed him to the temple. When the young monk arrived at the temple, he noticed that everyone else had a monk's kasaya except for him. He felt very inferior, thinking that without a kasaya, he wasn't worthy of being a monk. He thought to himself, "Bereft of a kasaya, how shall I show the world my ties are cut and my lust is quelled?" The black bear, unable to bear this, transformed itself into his kasaya and silently supported him from behind. Jin Chi eventually became the abbot, but his obsession with the kasaya grew even stronger. However, he continued to wear the kasaya that the black bear had transformed into, until one day, Tang Sanzang appeared. Jin Chi was attracted to Tang Sanzang's kasaya and decided to claim it for himself. It's unclear whether the black bear was jealous of being replaced or if Jin Chi set the fire to cover his tracks, but the temple was burned down. From that moment on, his worldly ties were truly severed, and the lust quelled.

★ This is the story of what happened at the end of chapter one: • It is said that long, long ago, a young novice monk wandered deep into the forest and unexpectedly encountered a colossal Black Bear Guai. Yet, contrary to expectations, the bear did not devour the monk but instead gifted him a sack filled with gold and silver. The bear then guided the novice to a secluded temple at the foot of the mountain. • From a young child, the novice diligently cultivated his practice and eventually became the revered abbot, leading hundreds of monks. He developed a profound passion for collecting kasayas (Buddhist robes), accumulating and wearing countless robes until he believed no other could possibly pique his interest. • One day, the abbot met Tang Sanzang, the master of Sun Wukong. Enchanted by Tang Sanzang's exquisite kasaya, the abbot borrowed it. Influenced by the cunning schemes of Guangzhi and Guangmou to steal the kasaya and burn Tang Sanzang's quarters, the abbot's long-dormant desires resurfaced. Consumed by greed, he set fire to the temple, causing the deaths of countless monks. The precious kasaya, however, fell into the hands of Black Bear Guai. Overwhelmed by grief and remorse, the abbot struck his head against a wall, ending his life. • Despite years of cultivation under the guidance of the Bodhisattva Guan Yin, Black Bear Guai remained perplexed. Why had the young novice resisted the allure of wealth yet succumbed to the temptation of a mere kasaya? • The Bodhisattva Guan Yin smiled and replied, "Without that kasaya, how could sentient beings discern whether their attachments and desires to the mundane world had truly been severed?

I love the music in this animation bro,it goes hard to me like a chill song dude

The most interesting thing is that the Jin Chi pronounces so much like Jin Chan, but this small different make him to be a tragedy.

incredible

This animation ever so slightly, fucks hard!

Show this to someone who says video games aren’t a form of art

Goty

Awesome! I wonder what the moral of this story is

Can we rewatch a cutscene ingame ?

0:26 what is the chant name?

Chinese audio with English subtitles is the best

Just finish chapter 1 i didnt expect the priest was secret boss i thought part of chapter 1 main story . But i m still puzzling, bear was our boss on end chapter 1 but in ending animation he was with quanyin alrdy ? I thought timeline was aftermath journey to west 🤔

Absolutely love the part where he wears the gold kasaya, and the greed for it symbolically rips him apart and destroys the temple, and the chant plays again with heavy beats. Goosebumps everytime.

Cutscene animation explaination: in "Journey to the West" novel, Sanzang and Wukong was on the road and rest at a monastery, the Monastery Chief [MC- JinChi, he's also the little monk you see at the start of the animation] by the time is 270yrs old and desire for kasaya [he have a collection of them], but when he see Sanzang's kasaya he cried and asked Sanzang to bring it to his room for a try (Sanzang's kasaya is made by gods and have many treasure, pearls on it, anyone who worthy to wear it shall not go to Hell, even gods will respect the one who wear it, ... for the worthy one it will be free but for the unworthy one the kasaya price is 7000 pound of gold...), he desire it, his desire burning him, if he can keep Sanzang and Wukong 1 day, he will have 1+ day to wear it, but not forever [unless Sanzang died]; Guangmuo see that and tell him that he will kill Sanzang for his master by burning the monastery so that the kasaya is forever belong to the MC. But Wukong know about the fire and borrow the Heavenly King the Fire-Protecting-Cage, so that the whole monastery is burned but the tower where Sanzang slept. The fire is an metaphor for the burning desire. As for the Black Bear Demon: We will see how the MC corrupted through BBD. It dont want to eat human, it just want to study, practice so that one day it will become better, enlightened. But it dont know how [ because it just a stupid animal; this represent 3 poisons in Buddhism - ignorance; greed or sensual attachment; and hatred or aversion], it need someone to teach it, so it must use material wealth like gold, silver coins in 2:05:38 to bribe the little monk, unintentionally sow in the little monk's soul desire/greed... Time goes by, the little monk grow up he began to desire the kasaya - which represent the rank of the monk, he began to find and collect valuable kasaya to satified himself [another type of desire/greed: vain-glory- as you can see in 2:06:33 kasaya - symbol of monks/goodness yet have a draw of a DEMON BEAR.] and when Sanzang from China bring the most valuable kasaya on Earth, he cant suppress his desire, and the end is just the wild fire that burn the monastery. Throuhout the journey, this is the most special adversity as the demon dont want to eat Sanzang flesh but we meet the "bravest" human - as he want to burn Sanzang alive :v. MC was a monk at very young age but he violated the murder commandment, the crime which few commited, just because he is blinded by greed/desire [metaphored in the novel when the MC cant see clear Sanzang's kasaya]. This created a full Circle of Misfortune [The Three Poisons lead to each others: Desire lead to Anger when things dont goes as what we want, Anger slowly become Hatred and Hatred lead to Ignorance when we cant distinguish Good/Bad, Right/Wrong and do the Evil. The MC spent hundreds of yrs to study yet bypass the most important Commandment, the question is: Is he really study from the beginning? Kasaya is made from throw away cloth, metaphor for Equanimity [let go of all obsession...], but the gods made a beautiful kasaya as a test for human heart and soul, the MC duty is to teach and lead others out of obsession, yet he himself fell right in it. Anyone who did wrong things but dont know dont have crime; but if you know it's wrong and yet still do is unforgiven. That's not the only lesson here in this adversity, Sun Wukong have a lesson too, if he's not arrogance, showoff the beautiful kasaya, then none of it would happened. The Eastern proverb: "Poisons come-in the mouth, Misfortune come-out the mouth" I translated the explanation from this link with some extra notes: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5sPdc2GTGr4.html , hope you like it and read the novel, watch the TV series 1986 when you have a chance. You'll love it.

The Chapter 1 ending animation is more than greedy. It is about we human like/need external stuff to symbolize something in order to proof our own identity. And how we are obsessed to this external symbol. The robe/kasaya became an external symbol for the monks, the higher your ranking or status, a more gorgeous robe/kasaya you will wear. But originally, the robe/kasaya is a symbol for monks to shows their humble and enlightenment to Buddhism. So, Jingchi is too arrogant and obsessed to superior status amongst the monks. Like many people wear Rolex not for knowing the time, but to show-off. But a Rolex could be also good for your to memorize your success, or to motivate yourself.

Someome can explain to me how this connects with the story?
