  *EDIT: The part about the father and son of stones being Shigandang and the Stone Vanguard is incorrect*, they appear to be the evil guai and a strong guard. I’ll correct this in the next video!<br>Ok real question: I want to improve how I pronounce Chinese names and the language in general... Anyone have any tips? <br>Also thank you so much for watching! :_banditLove: See you in Chapter 3!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgSy2bDeHN8&amp;t=606">10:06</a> Chinese here. The headless guy is not singing in standard mandarin, but with a strong northern accent of that region. Though this is obvious to all chinese audiences, it may not be the case for westerners. So I think that&apos;s why Game Science deliberately chose a scottish accent which is also a &quot;northern accent&quot; for the english version, to give a similar vibe.

  The swordman&apos;s story is heartbreaking. He just wanted to save his boy. We know his boy was a very cheerful kid. As a spirit, he only speaks all the nice memories he had at the village.

  A lot of these enemies don’t seem like bad guys. Sure a lot of them do horrible things, but a lot of them also do very good things, like the yellow wind sage saving the villagers from the massive beetle and sparing a lot of his enemies after they attacked him. The tiger brothers too, the eldest brother had a moral code to protect and not hurt the innocent, and the younger one helped cure a sick child. Very cool how complicated and deep their individual stories are.

  Why Scottish accent:<br>The original Chienese is sung with northern Chinese dialect, and the style is also northern. So it should pick a well-known and well-historical-feeded English accent, then Scottish is choosen.

  Idk but the tiger vanguard intro give me the impression that he was psychotic and enjoyed eating the rats in his kingdom.

  In Chapter 2, the people of the Golden Kingdom were &nbsp;turned into rats by the Buddha Lingji, for the same reason

  Another little tidbit, the coffin you get the plaguebane gourd from is the child’s coffin. The mad tiger really cared about the kid

  Whoa, I did not expect the Tiger Acolytes story to hit so hard...

  So many great tales from chapter 2, I found the story of the father swordsman and his son very touching. &nbsp;At first I just assumed that the child was consumed by the tiger, little did I know that there was quite a twist. &nbsp;The author also knew what the audience would think when the tiger gave the gourd to the child. &nbsp;Classic mis-direct in storytelling from 400 years ago.

  Tiger&apos;s Acolyte story is so sad. I feel sad and happy at the same time after killing him. Sad for his past and happy to free him from his past. 😢

  Hi, Chinese here, fist of all thank you so much for doing the heavy lifting, I appreciate that you let many people recognize how good the plot is in BMW. <br>Also, I’d like to share some of my thoughts and insights on what went through the Yellow Sage’s mind from start to finish.<br><br>1. When he was caught stealing lamp oil from Lingshan, the Sage had no choice but to obey Buddha LingJi. From the start, he didn&apos;t like Buddha LingJi.<br><br>2. The Sage believed that by doing good deeds for humanity, he could gain recognition or even a position in the Celestial Court. However, after helping people during the Yellow Wind incident, LingJi punished those who trusted the Sage. Disheartened by this, the Sage left, feeling deeply disappointed. <br><br>3. After being defeated by Wukong and LingJi during the Journey to the West, the Sage once again found himself with no choice but to obey Buddha LingJi. At this point, he pretty much lost hope and probably accepted his fate. <br><br>3. Later, during a battle that killed Wukong, the Sage obtained a piece of relic. Seeing an opportunity to gain power, the Sage, fueled by anger, decapitated LingJi and fled with both the relic and the head. He believed that, with LingJi&apos;s head, he could&apos;ve consumed the relic and became as powerful as Wukong—so powerful that even the Celestial Court would have to grant him a position.<br><br>4. The head of LingJi, in my opinion, had a strange effect on the Sage and everyone who is gaining it. Once the Sage obtained it, he no longer cared about those who worshipped him. He ordered Tiger Vanguard and Stone Vanguard to guard the entrance to his valley, locked himself away, and began practicing with the intent of consuming the relic. This led to environmental destruction, and Tiger Vanguard even started eating many rats, but the Sage didn&apos;t care. Notably, when LingJi became the headless monk, he actually did a lot of good for the villagers. But after reattaching his head, he never opened his eyes again and reverted to his previous behavior, embodying the idea that becoming a Buddha or something exalted often leads to neglecting ordinary people&apos;s life/needs.<br><br>5. In many ways, the Sage was very similar to Wukong. Both possessed tremendous power and sought recognition from the Celestial Court. Wukong was fortunate enough to achieve that, although he was eventually restrained and attempted to break free. The Sage, however, was unlucky and became the kind of person he despised. This explains his dialogues during repeated battles with the Destined One—the Sage knew he was in the wrong thing and wished for the Destined One to end his suffering.
