Goku's movie poster holding his stick makes more sense now :think:

What do you think??? Goku fights in the new movie against the Monkey King ???

It would be really cool!

If Sun Wukong appeared in Highschool DxD [as a copy of Goku] why can't he appear in Dragon Ball Super?

Also in RWBY, with his staff turning into shotgun nunchucks.

One of these days I'll figure out how posting videos works on this site!

That would be an epick kickass crossover/fight. Especially if it's the original Monkey King from Chinese myth.

It would makes sense if the next god will be a monkey because they have introduced a lot of gods based on animals etc

I’ve always thought that son gokuh was inspired by sun wukong the monkey, so in that context they are “supposed “ to be the same
It was as if a whole lot of people ...were screaming in pain....

Why not? People have been saying for years that there's nowhere left to go for bigger opponents, might as well start going meta with them.

Hell, they already are. We just had Goku vs Superman, before that it was Goku vs an evil version of himself, Goku vs Za Warudo, a rematch with his greatest enemy, and Akira Toriyama's pet cat. What else is left but his inspiration and progenitor? The best part is, it doesn't matter if Yamoshi-Wukong has to be stronger than Jiren for this matchup to work. You can get away with anything with him.

He was. To start with, Son Goku is literally the Japanese name for Sun Wukong. The first arc of Dragon Ball was based on Journey to the West, not to mention, the physical similarities.

Notice the Monkey tail, cloud he's riding on, the staff... Other images will have even more in common, as well as Toriyama's initial character designs for Goku.

That's a good "what if." But... Goku IS the Monkey King if you actually put two and two together. :|

Wukong's got some wild powers that Gokû doesn't, so yeah I'd like to see that battle.
