	The demon is actually the Marshal of the Heavenly Reeds in the Heavenly River; the Jade Emperor had beaten and killed him, however, because he had gotten drunk and "dallied" with the Moon Goddess.

	Some time passes, and Kuan-Yin has successfully recruited the monkey king Sun Wukong to accompany Tang Sanzang to the west to secure Buddha's scrolls. After an ordeal with a stolen cassock, Wukong and Tang Sanzang travel for about a week's time when they come across a village and seek to rest before continuing onward. They learn that three years ago, Mr. Kao's youngest daughter was seized by a monster who kept her as his wife. The monster locked her up in another building and has refused to let her see her family for half a year now. The family is now seeking someone to defeat the monster and rescue the daughter. Wukong agrees to take the job in exchange for a place to rest. They learn that three years ago a handsome man — who said he came from the Cloudy Paths Cave of Fu-ling Mountain and that his surname was ''Chu'' (Hog) and given name ''Kang-lieh'' (Stiff Bristles) — had appeared, and since he had neither parents nor brothers, he was willing to be taken in as a son-in-law. At first he was well-behaved, and plowed the fields with no difficulty or extra tools needed. Over time, however, his appearance began to change more and more into that of a hog. His appetite was also incredible, and he would come riding in with the wind raising all sorts of disturbance in the village. Wukong and the father confirm the daughter, Green Orchid, is alive, and ask about the hog, who has apparently been taking precautions after learning that the father is out to get him. Wukong transforms into an exact likeness of Green Orchid to take her place. Posing as Green Orchid, Wukong learns all about how this hog of a man has been taking care of the family estate and that the family is out to get him now, but he is not scared because he has his nine-pronged muckrake and knows many transformations. Wukong further prods him by saying the family is seeking to recruit the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven. This finally scares the monster, who leaps out of bed and says they cannot live there anymore, prompting Wukong to reveal his true identity. The two battle for some time, but the monster eventually runs away and locks himself up inside his cave. Wukong reports back, then returns to fight some more. Wukong continues to antagonist the pig monster, asking about his rake, and even allowing the monster to whack him over the head as a free shot. The monster takes the opportunity, but it does nothing, so Wukong tells him the full story about now being on a mission with Tang Sanzang to secure Buddha's scrolls. In return, the monster then tells his story of being converted by Kuan-Yin and his promise to follow them in their journey.<ref name="jttwvol1"></ref>		Some time passes, and Kuan-Yin has successfully recruited the monkey king Sun Wukong to accompany Tang Sanzang to the west to secure Buddha's scrolls.

			{{quotation\|"Since you have entered my fold," said Tripitaka, "and have decided to become my disciple, let me give you a religious name so that I may address you properly." "Master," said the monster, "the Bodhisattva already laid hands on my head and gave me the commandments and a religious name, which is Chu-Wu-neng." "Good! Good!" said Tripitaka, laughing. "Your elder brother is named Wu-k'ung and you are called Wu-neng; your names are well in accord with the emphasis of our denomination." "Master," said Wu-neng, "since I received the commandments from the Bodhisattva, I was completely cut off from the five forbidden viands and the three undesirable foods. I maintained a strict vegetarian diet in my father-in-law's house, never touching any forbidden food. Now that I have met my master today, let me be released from my vegetarian vow." "No, no!" said Tripitaka. "Since you have not eaten the five forbidden viands and the three undesirable foods, let me give you another name. Let me call you Pa-chieh." Delighted, Idiot said, "I shall obey my master." For this reason, he was also called Chu Pa-chieh.\|''The Journey to the West'' Volume 1, Translated and Edited by Anthony C. Yu (page 389)}}
			While not able to best Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie is largely a capable fighter throughout ''Journey to the West'', putting his transformations and rake to good use. He is ultimately denied full Buddhahood, however, for never shedding his carnal desires, and is instead rewarded with an empty title ("Cleanser of the Altars") and all the leftovers he can eat.<ref>JTTW CHP TBD</ref>

			===Origin in ''Journey to the West''===
			Like several elements within early ''[[Dragon Ball]]''<ref name="birdlandpress15">Toriyama, Akira. "The Making of Dragon Ball". ''Bird Land Press 15''. November 1984.<br>[https://www.kanzenshuu.com/translations/bird-land-press-making-of-dragon-ball/ Kanzenshuu Translations Archive: Bird Land Press 15 - "The Making of Dragon Ball"]</ref><ref>{{Cite guidebook\|Title="Akira Toriyama Super Interview"\|Book=6\|Page=pp. 261-265}}<br>[https://www.kanzenshuu.com/translations/daizenshuu-2-akira-toriyama-super-interview/ Kanzenshuu Translations Archive: Dragon Ball Daizenshuu 2: Story Guide - "Akira Toriyama Super Interview"]</ref>, Oolong finds his inspiration in ''[[Journey to the West]]'', a classical Chinese folk novel published in the 16th century by Wu Cheng'en.

			It has been at least half a millennium on Earth since Buddha subdued Sun Wukong and imprisoned him under a mountain. Buddha has three baskets of scriptures (15,144 scrolls) that he believes can "persuade man to do good"; in his assessment, people of the east are good, people of the north and south are too prone to violence and lechery, and while people of the west needs some prodding, they can indeed be virtuous. Buddha asks that someone go to the east to find a virtuous believer, who will then be tasked with making the trek to the west to obtain these scrolls. The Bodhisattva Kuan-Yin volunteers and departs with a few helpful items in tow from Buddha, along with a protector, Moska. After first coming across and recruiting Sha Wujing in the region of the Flowing Sand River to their cause, they continue east and come across a high mountain "covered by miasma so foul that they could not ascend it on foot." As they are instead about to fly over, a sudden blast of violent wind brings forth a new monster:<ref name="jttwvol1">Wu Cheng'en. Yu, Anthony C. ''The Journey to the West Volume 1''.

			The demon is actually the Marshal of the Heavenly Reeds in the Heavenly River; the Jade Emperor had beaten and killed him, however, because he had gotten drunk and "dallied" with the Moon Goddess. His spirit had been seeking out a proper home for his next reincarnation when it lost its way, passing through the womb of an old pig, and ending up in its current shape. He was taken in by an elder in a cave called Cloudy Paths at the Mountain of the Blessed Mound, but when she passed away a year ago, he began passing the time by taking over the mountain ranch and eating people who passed by. Overwhelmed by the strength of the Bodhisattva's protector Moska, he begs forgiveness and agrees to accompany the priest who will make his way west in search of Buddha's scrolls. Allowing this, Kuan-Yin grants him a new name as well:<ref name="jttwvol1"></ref>

			Some time passes, and Kuan-Yin has successfully recruited the monkey king Sun Wukong to accompany Tang Sanzang to the west to secure Buddha's scrolls. After an ordeal with a stolen cassock, Wukong and Tang Sanzang travel for about a week's time when they come across a village and seek to rest before continuing onward. They learn that three years ago, Mr. Kao's youngest daughter was seized by a monster who kept her as his wife. The monster locked her up in another building and has refused to let her see her family for half a year now. The family is now seeking someone to defeat the monster and rescue the daughter. Wukong agrees to take the job in exchange for a place to rest. They learn that three years ago a handsome man — who said he came from the Cloudy Paths Cave of Fu-ling Mountain and that his surname was ''Chu'' (Hog) and given name ''Kang-lieh'' (Stiff Bristles) — had appeared, and since he had neither parents nor brothers, he was willing to be taken in as a son-in-law. At first he was well-behaved, and plowed the fields with no difficulty or extra tools needed. Over time, however, his appearance began to change more and more into that of a hog. His appetite was also incredible, and he would come riding in with the wind raising all sorts of disturbance in the village. Wukong and the father confirm the daughter, Green Orchid, is alive, and ask about the hog, who has apparently been taking precautions after learning that the father is out to get him. Wukong transforms into an exact likeness of Green Orchid to take her place. Posing as Green Orchid, Wukong learns all about how this hog of a man has been taking care of the family estate and that the family is out to get him now, but he is not scared because he has his nine-pronged muckrake and knows many transformations. Wukong further prods him by saying the family is seeking to recruit the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven. This finally scares the monster, who leaps out of bed and says they cannot live there anymore, prompting Wukong to reveal his true identity. The two battle for some time, but the monster eventually runs away and locks himself up inside his cave. Wukong reports back, then returns to fight some more. Wukong continues to antagonist the pig monster, asking about his rake, and even allowing the monster to whack him over the head as a free shot. The monster takes the opportunity, but it does nothing, so Wukong tells him the full story about now being on a mission with Tang Sanzang to secure Buddha's scrolls. In return, the monster then tells his story of being converted by Kuan-Yin and his promise to follow them in their journey.<ref name="jttwvol1"></ref>

			===Pre-''Dragon Ball''===

			Between the ''[[Dragon Boy]]'' and ''[[The Adventure of Tongpoo]]'' prototype publications in 1983 and ''Dragon Ball'''s first publication in November 1984, [[Akira Toriyama]] developed drafts of the ''Dragon Ball'' stories with his editor [[Kazuhiko Torishima]].

The two battle for some time, but the monster eventually runs away and locks himself up inside his cave. Wukong reports back, then returns to fight some more. Wukong continues to antagonist the pig monster, asking about his rake, and even allowing the monster to whack him over the head as a free shot. The monster takes the opportunity, but it does nothing, so Wukong tells him the full story about now being on a mission with Tang Sanzang to secure Buddha's scrolls. In return, the monster then tells his story of being converted by Kuan-Yin and his promise to follow them in their journey. Upon formally grouping up with Wukong and Tang Sanzang, the character is granted yet another name:<ref name="jttwvol1"></ref>

	In Toriyama's third pass — which moved through both pilot and final manuscripts — story details began to take form, as well as the names for other supporting characters. At this point, Oolong is named ウー·ロン (''Ūron'', which would perhaps be transliterated and spelled as "Oo Long" interpreting the interpunct as a space); the interpunct here in Oolong's, Pu'er's, and Yamcha's names would be removed for the final version. In ~~tersm~~ of designs in this manuscript, Oolong and the others look very close to their final versions.<ref name="jttwdbdesigns"></ref>		In Toriyama's third pass — which moved through both pilot and final manuscripts — story details began to take form, as well as the names for other supporting characters.

While ''Dragon Ball'''s Oolong is similar to the original Zhu Bajie in many ways, there are of course also numerous differences:

	* Oolong retains his ability to transform from his inspiration, though Zhu Bajie's rivalry with Sun Wukong and being able to perform both fewer transformations and not being as adept at them overall is transferred into a similar rivalry with [[Pu'er]].		* Oolong retains his ability to transform from his inspiration, though Zhu Bajie's rivalry with Sun Wukong and being able to perform both fewer transformations and not being as adept at them overall is transferred into a similar rivalry with [[Pu'er]]. The five-minute transformation limit is likely a reference to ''Ultraman'', whose transformation time limit is three minutes; ''Ultraman'' references are littered throughout Toriyama's breadth of works, with a three-minute transformation time limit having been previously used for [[Pingyao]] in ''[[Dragon Boy]]''.
