Recently, a mod for the video game Black Myth: Wukong has allowed players to take on the role of Goku from the popular series Dragon Ball, surprising both gamers and fans of Akira Toriyama. This is noteworthy as it has long been speculated that the protagonist in The Journey to the West, Sun Wukong, served as inspiration for the character of Goku.
The direct influence and origin of Dragon Ball is what made this mod such a perfect and exhilarating experience. It was particularly notable as Goku was depicted wielding a staff and flying on a cloud, reminiscent of his youth. This was a significant moment that paid tribute to both China’s legendary myth and Japan’s renowned character and franchise, all in a highly successful video game.

Dragon Ball’s Goku appears in Black Myth: Wukong thanks to a mod
The recent introduction of a mod in the game allowed players to take on the role of Goku, a character that received widespread praise from fans worldwide. This can be attributed to the fact that Goku was heavily inspired by Sun Wukong from the original The Journey to the West myths, as both characters share numerous similarities.
Despite their differences, one of the most renowned similarities between Goku and Sun Wukong is their association with monkeys. Both possess the ability to transform into giant apes and carry staffs, as well as the ability to ride on clouds. These elements are integral to their respective origins and they both embark on epic journeys in search of powerful artifacts.
Despite differences in their names, Son Goku and Sun Wukong share some similarities. The influence of Sun Wukong on Akira Toriyama’s work is well known, particularly in the early stages of the manga. The author has been open about this influence and its impact on his work.
