Who Really Captured Sun Wukong? |Journey to the West Chapter 6.3

Sun Wukong has transformed into a bird, trying once again to escape Erlang Shen. But Erlang Shen sees through his transformations.

Even after so many changes of form, the Monkey King still refuses to surrender. The battle between the two remains fiercely balanced. Erlang Shen can follow him, surround him, and expose his disguises — but he still cannot capture him.

Then Guanyin watches from Heaven and suggests a way to help.

Laozi steps forward. With his magical Diamond Snare, the Jingang Zhuo, he strikes the Monkey King from above.

Wukong finally falls. But is it really Erlang Shen who captured Sun Wukong?

Or was it the combined power of Erlang Shen, Guanyin, Laozi, the Roaring Dog, and the Meishan Brothers that finally brought down the Great Sage?

This episode reveals an important detail that is sometimes overlooked: defeating Wukong and capturing Wukong are not quite the same thing.

Watch Chapter 6.3 to see how the great Monkey King is finally brought down — and who played the decisive role.
