About this episode

The episode continues the story of Sun Wukong and Tripitaka as they embark on a journey to retrieve sacred scrolls, starting with Sun Wukong's rescue from imprisonment.

We continue the great Chinese epic about the Monkey Warrior, Sun Wukong, who must escort the Buddhist monk Tripitaka on his long journey to India to fetch the sacred scrolls. But first, Tripitaka must rescue Sun Wukong from his prison beneath a mountain, where the mischievous Monkey has been trapped for 500 years.
