[Lore Discussion] Is Kang Jin Loong simp for Wukong?

[XRay]

I feel like there is a secret, one-side love of Kang Jin Loong for Wukong. In original novel, to rescue Wukong from the golden bowl of Yellowbrows, Kang Jin Loong let Wukong drill a small hole on her horn, then Wukong minimize himself and enter the hole. In Chinese tradition, if a girl let a man see or touch sensitive body part, then she can marry to no one other that man. Though I'm not sure that applies for Kang Jin Loong, but this event seems has sparked some emotions in her for Wukong (like, "you are the first one enter my sensitive body part, now I can't stop thinking about you"). In game lore, she alone joins Yellowbrows' party (which is very risky) to seek information of Wukong. After learning the dead of Wukong, she lost her mind and followed Yellowbrows. It seems that Wukong is so important to her, that when knowing his dead, she abandons everything, including her high rank title on Heaven Court, and takes Yellowbrows' hand as a salvation.

She came to the New West to look for the previous Dawnstar not Wukong. Both of them belongs to the 28 Mansions.

And you would know the fate of the previous Dawnstar once you cleared the secret area in Chapter 4.

Nope, she told other she went to investigate the missing of the Dawnstar, but actually to learn about Wukong's fate. This is written in her lore.
Yellowbrows saw through her true intention then invited her to go into his bag to see Wukong's fate. After that, she lost her mind and called him Master.

kang jin loong doesnt have sexual identity in original novel if i remember correctly

and that made it possible to make kang jin loong a female character in the game XD

and in orioginal novel , kang jin loong is part of the group assisting wukong's escort team all the way to india.
so if its really a female character, she could have falling in love with wukong.

she was tricked to check out wukong's relic inside that "man sack" (in original novel its a magic weapon specially made to suck in unlimited amount of ppl. this is reinforced with wukong's relic ande become more powerful thats able to brain wash ppl. hence the reason destined one trasformed into macaque monkey and lost his mind but eventually returned to his true form )

[redhongkong]

that macaque monkey was a small boss under wukong's leadership, he was brainwashed just the same as kang jin loong.

In the 86th version of the TV series Journey to the West, Kangjinlong seems to be a man.

Yes, GameScience made a lot of changes compared to the origin. In the novel, Kang Jin Loong helped Wukong a few times, but always along with her comrades as 28 Mansions.
Dawnstar rooster god helped Wukong 1 time, personal. He killed the Scorpion guai at Women Nation.
Then GameScience writes that these two are the closest ones to Wukong among 28 Mansions, means there are more personal interactions between Wukong and Kang Jin Long which are not shown or told yet.
Wukong also had a romance with White Skeleton guai, so at least he was open to romance relations. Then he killed his lover 3 times and may became loveless?

The relationship between White Bone Demon and Wukong can be referenced from Stephen Chow's movie "Journey to the West", including the final boss stage 2 and the actions under the sunset.

另外，这款游戏里面还有游戏科学早期作品《douzhanshen》的影子，参考https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Yb4y1j76a/

I know, but in GameScience's version, they changed a lot of the source material, and put in a lot of romance relations:
- Zhu Baije (Pigsy) and Violet Spider
- Wukong and White Skeleton guai
- The Destined One and 4th sister (just some hints)
Also, in the true ending scene, there is this one that Wukong carries Six-Eared Monkey's body with sadness on his face. In the origin, they are nemesis and Wukong killed him without a thought. Maybe in this dark version, they are really closed and forced to kill each other.

是的，有一些改编是很好的，毕竟载体不一样。不管是最初版本的西游记（元杂曲），吴承恩的《西游记》还是86电视剧亦或者周星驰的《大话西游》再到现在的游戏黑神话悟空，毕竟载体时代不同，适当的改编总是可以的
