Something I noticed in season two - Monkey calls himself the ‘slayer of Davari’ when confronting the library guard. 

It’s an odd detail, when we know perfectly well that a) Davari is imprisoned, not dead and b) it was Tripitaka who did the deed. 

There are a few explanations. Like maybe Monkey was exaggerating for effect (definitely not out of character for him) or maybe the writer of that episode just forgot the details of last season. 

However, I prefer the explanation that Monkey is actually protecting Tripitaka. 

See, whoever defeated Davari is going to have a lot of heat headed their way. Even if demons have no particular love for each other, they can’t afford to let that sort of thing slide, especially from an insignificant human. If they ignore that, then all the other humans might start getting ideas. Even the demon lords of season two understood that, and they weren’t what you’d call insightful. 

But if Monkey did it... well, he’s much better equipped to handle physical threats and he’s got a well-earned reputation for killing demons. Random demons are likely to think twice before taking him on, no matter how good the reason. 

And honestly, if Monkey goes around claiming to have personally killed Davari, who’s gonna call him a liar? The only other people in the room were two gods plus the Shaman, who is probably not eager to admit that one of his devices was responsible for entrapping his boss. That’s the kind of thing that definitely comes up in your performance review.

The actor playing Davari kinda reminds me of Andrew Scott’s Moriarty

Davari: You’re being dramatic.

Monkey: That’s really fucking rich coming from you.

Theory about using the scrolls

I was thinking about (spoilers!!) the so-called ‘real’ Tripitaka and how the hell he came back to life after six weeks. 

It really makes no sense. You could argue that he wasn’t really dead, that he was just in a coma, and in such bad shape that an inexperienced monk couldn’t tell the difference. But even if the first Tripitaka survived a crushed trachea and a house collapsing in on itself like a miniature black hole, he’d still had been alone and unconscious in the wilderness for six weeks. He should have literally starved to death long before Monica and the other monk found him.

There are possible explanations, of course. Maybe this first Tripitaka wasn’t human in the first place (could be a god?), or possibly a fake planted by the demons in order to draw out the Resistance. 

My theory, however relates to the Scroll of Immortality. 

Each of the Scrolls seems to come with a price attached. The Scroll of Creation demands a life for a life. The Shadow Scroll will create whatever you want, but the creation will always turn on its creator.  The Scroll of Knowledge couches its answers in riddles or metaphors which could easily be misinterpreted. 

So maybe the Scroll of Immortality works in a similar way. You will get eternal life, but the life is not limited to you. Something else must also live to balance out the effect you will have on the world. And who better to balance out a ruthless, genocidal demon bent on extending his already-long life beyond its natural limits, than the pure-hearted young messiah who was wrongfully murdered before he could even begin his quest? 

If we accept that Davari used the scroll six weeks after the death of the first Tripitaka (allowing for a reasonable travel time between Pallawa and Jade Mountain, plus various detours), then the timing is rather eerily perfect. Davari didn’t just extend his life that night; he also brought back the monk destined to be his nemesis. 

Granted the nemesis did a pretty lousy job, but that’s a discussion for another day.
