October Media's "Great Sage Returns" x "Deep Sea" promotional Lunar New Year short
Translations under cut:
JLE: Great Sage, look! The Deep Sea Restaurant has a 'Journey to the West' themed New Years banquet!
SWK: Where's your creativity, huh? What is this? SWK: UGH- I'm not eating anymore!
NH: You two guests, please, stay! NH: Is this fur glued on? Cosplay, eh?
SWK: IT'S REAL!
NH: Understood! NH: Creativity!
SWK: What's this?
NH: "The Monkey King Descends to Earth!"
JLE: Wow! Awesome, awesome!!
SWK: (My ass) is not that red! What sort of lousy "creativity"! I'm rating [this place] one star!
NH: Understood! NH: Creativity cannot be limited to realism! NH: It must also possess meaningful implication!
NH: A jade-green Heavenly horse... NH: Elegantly drifting auspicious clouds~ NH: A vivid and lifelike GREAT! SAGE! SUN!
SWK: What kinda 'meaningful implication'?
NH: Bo-yi bi! [Sounding out the character 碧 bì, meaning "jade"] NH: BiMaWen, ey! [Pun on SWK's title of BiMaWen, meaning "ban horse plague"] NH: How's that for meaningful implication!
[terms surrounding SWK include but are not limited to "BiMaWen", "small little BiMaWen", "monkey [yao]jing", "monkey has [cultivated enough to] become/reach [yao]jing [status]", "wretched monkey", "feral/wild monkey", "feral/wild monkey from the mountains", and "monkey head"]
SWK: WHO ARE YOU IMPLYING?
NH: For adequate creativity, merely having internal implication is not enough! It also must move people to emotion! Their eyes must brim with tears! NH: I understand! NH: Don't you go anywhere! I gurantee I'll have your eyes brimming with tears!
NH: Five hundred years ago... The Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong, with a body like xuan iron, fiery eyes and golden pupils- NH: All by himself... NH: Wrought HAVOC! IN! HEAVEN!
NH: So! How's! That!
SWK: Actually.... It was just by a little.... A little... Just almost... I nearly- NH: I just knew it was missing just a little something!
SWK: .....I cried.
NH: Crushed for five hundred years.... NH: How moving and tragic! NH: I ask you now- Have you been moved?
SWK: MOVED! MOVED! I'VE BEEN TOO MOVED! SWK: MY FRICKING DEPRESSION'S ALREADY FERMENTED FROM ALL THIS!
NH: BRO- BRO I UNDERSTAND-
SWK: THE HELL YOU UNDERSTAND- THE HELL YOU'RE TRYING TO MOVE!
NH: FIVE HUNDRED YEARS WASN'T ENOUGH- WASN'T LONG ENOUGH! AGH I UNDERSTAND-
SWK: TO HELL WITH YOU!
JLE: Eat your New Year's banquet! On the first of the Lunar Calendar, come to the movie theatre to see Deep Sea!
