Sun Wukong, also known as Qitian Dasheng, is an anti-villain in the manga Record of Ragnarok Forbidden Legend - Apocalypse of The Gods, a spin-off of the manga/anime series Record of Ragnarok.
Sun Wukong is a God of the Chinese Pantheon known as the Monkey King. He is also one of the 16 Gods who participate in the Apocalypse Tournament to win the last place in the Gods Fighters of the Ragnarok Tournament and the possibility of creating a new law in the Constitution of Valhalla.
Appearance[]
Sun Wukong is a humanoid-looking God with black hair shaped like a porcupine and yellow eyes under black sunglasses. He wears an open black long-sleeved jacket, thus showing his bare chest, with golden cuffs and interior, a golden tiara as a necklace, long black trousers held up by a rose-shaped buckle, and moccasins. He always carries his black staff with gold tips.
Personality[]
Sun Wukong is a God who is uninterested in everything around him, including events that directly affect him such as the announcement of the Gods Fighters. He loves to doze off and can't stand anyone who disturbs him while he's trying to rest. He was once known for being a troublemaker, to the point of earning the nickname "Problem Child", but over time he calmed down enough to surprise even Zeus.
Furthermore, Sun Wukong is an excellent observer, as he is the first to notice details that other Gods do not notice. Indeed, Sun Wukong tries to analyze the battles he sees in order to use them as a basis for his matches, but is disappointed if he hasn't gathered enough information and is surprised if an opponent exceeds his expectations.
Biography[]
Sun Wukong is a God from the Chinese Pantheon who has caused enough trouble in the past to temporarily earn the nickname "Problem Child".
After the proclamation of the Ragnarok Tournament, Sun Wukong participates indifferently in the meeting of the Gods' Council in which Zeus announces the Gods Fighters that would fight in the Ragnarok Tournament representing the Gods. Many Gods become angry at the absence of their names, including Morrígan who prepares to attack Zeus for the insult she has suffered, but the Goddess is blocked by Sun Wukong, which makes everyone notice that a name is missing from the list. That's when Zeus announces the Apocalypse Tournament between 16 Gods to win the last place in the Gods Fighters and the possibility of inserting a new law into the Constitution of Valhalla.
Sun Wukong also participates, and his opponent in the Round of 16 will be Prometheus. While waiting for his match, Sun Wukong witnesses the battle between Cú Chulainn and Ra-Horakhty, which ends with Cú Chulainn's victory.
Powers and Abilities[]
Overall Abilities: As a God, Sun Wukong possesses physical abilities far superior to those of any ordinary Human. His body cannot be damaged by mortal weapons, however it can still be damaged by unarmed attacks from individuals with superhuman strength and Divine Weapons. For the same reason, Sun Wukong is unable to die due to old age. Sun Wukong is also able to analyze battles and thus understand the strengths of the various contenders.
Staff Skills: Sun Wukong uses a staff in battle, and it appears that his staff can be extended and retracted as he wishes.
Trivia[]
- Although Sun Wukong was born as the protagonist literary character of the Chinese novel Journey to the West, the character soon entered the collective imagination and was inserted directly into Chinese Mythology.
- In the Record of Ragnarok series Sun Wukong is known by the name "Qitian Dasheng", which is the original title of the Chinese short story The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, in which a Shandong native Xu Sheng initially rejects the existence of Sun Wukong, but then ends up becoming a devoted servant after meeting him and testing his strength.
- Although Sun Wukong does not behave as an antagonist in Record of Ragnarok, he can be considered as such since, being a member of the Gods' Council, he voted for the extermination of Humanity and seems to be disinterested in anything that has to do with his destiny.
