#also possible that he wrote Macaque's name out of the book of the dead?? | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

Personally, I think the reason for that is because Macaque has actually shown up again after being killed, but before episode 9.

Especially since there's no surprise from Wukong at all- he instantly knows who it is when he sees the symbol on MK's back, but he, for some reason, doesn't actually interfere until Macaque takes MK's powers (and it's kinda implied that he'd been watching, why else would his first sentence be "Enough"? I personally like to hc that it was Wukong giving Macaque a brief benefit of the doubt, but y'know.)

Some of this could just be because all the details about Macaque and Wukong's past weren't entirely planned out at that point, but still.

To be honest, as interested as I am in seeing the fight that took Macaque's life, I am also interested, if not more so, in seeing what their actual first meeting post-Macaque's death was like.

Not sure if I’m over-analyzing but

I jut realized that while SWK expresses genuine surprise that Azure Lion is there in front of him, openly saying “I [killed you] myself, how are you here?”… he never expresses such a thing with Macaque.

Sure, it did take him a few episodes to go “Hey wait a sec” with Azure, but it literally is never brought up with Macaque… There’s only anger and taunting.

….seriously, what actually happened, and did he actually kill him or not?

#Monkie Kid #there's ALSO once again the possibility of minds being messed with #but im pretty sure Wukong knows he killed Macaque if that one bit from s4ep1 indicates anything #it's just not NEW to him that Macaque is alive #it's possible he doesn't know how Macaque came back either #but i can see Wukong being like ''yeah he would come back to life just to haunt me. that checks out for him'' and not question it #also possible that he wrote Macaque's name out of the book of the dead??#lots of reasons why he wouldn't be that shocked at Macaque still being alive #on that note though i also think that Macaque's death was an accident #i think Wukong was angry but not THAT angry yknow. things just got out of hand #i can also see Wukong during that first meeting post-death asking ''how are you even here?'' but then Macaque just. attacks him.#so yknow. not much time to really think about it hsldkfjdlskjfs #but also i'd like to note that just cause Wukong says he ''put Azure there himself'' doesn't mean he killed him #he really could have just trapped him there. the other two were sealed in the scroll after all #(+ im pretty sure the place the Mayor was keeping Macaque until that LBD scene was also Diyu)#(so it is possible to just trap a living person there)
