DO YOU THINK NINE HEADED DEMON(DISGUISED AS ONE OF THE KINGS) WORKED WITH WUKONG WHEN MK WAS BORN. Think about it Wukong getting told save the unborn thing in this rock by one of the ten kings give it a chance to live bring it to the best place you know(the home of a former friend). The flashback of Wukong standing, anticipating waiting for it to open. Wukong denying he knew to Macaque— why would he reveal he’s worked alongside a king of hell to ensure MKs safety
Hm, that's not impossible! I don't know if it structurally makes sense to have that reveal in s6, unless it was tied into an explanation of like...why Wukong became a mentor in the first place/how MK made it to Pigsy's/even what happened with the Pilgrims and why they're here now (which is something that Wukong never answered after Macaque asked).
Tbqh, I'm unsure if 5x01 is Wukong lying, or if it's meant to be taken at face Value, you know. He could totally be telling the truth in that scene!
There are also a few other details I'm curious about, like the eye of MK's monkey statue being cracked, or even the area around the birth stone being all...ravaged.
Currently, I kinda feel like it's the end of the s3 special and I don't have much to work with when it comes to predictions, you know. There are a lot of different directions everything could go! I also think in general, it's less obvious what MK's arc will be next season.
Also there's this parallel:
Sun Wukong: "Whatever the goddess and destiny has planned for you...you came from the same stone I did. Destiny can't have you—it can have me instead."
MK: "No, Monkey King!"
Sun Wukong: "The world needs you more than it needs me! Bud, thank you...for everything."
Nine: "Good luck MK! You and whatever's left, you'll need it. You've just opened the cage!"
MK: "Wait, what do you mean- WAIT!"
Nine: "Thank you...for everything."
Like, whatever the fuck this means
