I know this theory has been talked about a lot, but I would like to put my own thoughts and opinions about Ne Zhaโ€™s age. Of course, Ne Zha died at the age of 12, yet in the series; considered to be a somewhat spin-off/sequel to the Journey to the West novel, he appears to be physically an adult.

Understandably, some people wanted to defend the idea of Ne Zha physically and mentally grown since Journey to the West by using other countryโ€™s beliefs of Ne Zha depicted as an adult, however, other countries still depict Ne Zha as a child, and the crew for LEGO Monkie Kid revealed he was canonically a child during Season 4, Episode 5 โ€œThe Court of the Yellow-Robed Demonโ€. This leaves to the question of how he managed to appear older.ย 

I have been pondering on the idea for quite some time, and while going through several posts of peopleโ€™s headcanons, references from other media depicting the other characters from Journey to the West, I have come to a conclusion.ย 

To support this theory, I will be using Macaque as an example to answer the mystery behind Ne Zhaโ€™s sudden ageing in LEGO Monkie Kid. It has become abundantly clear Macaque has a missing eye, and in the Season 3, Episode 8, โ€œBenchedโ€, while trying to retrieve the third Samadhi Ring from Tang, for a split second, the tip of his tail becomes slightly white.ย 

 +

While going through fanart, people often depict Macaque, having glamorised his looks in order to hide his features (i.e., his scarred eye). Saying that, I believe Ne Zha has adapted to glamorise his child form into an adult form, possibly from wanting to fit his mental age physically and feel comfortable. Macaque so far, hasnโ€™t shown his true form for a prologue time, I believe Nezha can hold his adult form without any difficulty.ย

Season 5 of LEGO Monkie Kid is bound to show Nuwa, or MKโ€™s supposed mother, on the show. Most people are wanting Nuwa to be a loving and caring mother, however, I do not believe that will be the case considering the direction the show is taking on MKโ€™s backstory.

In the Season 4 special โ€œEmperorโ€™s Wrathโ€, the Kings of Hell in the Underworld are shown to be devising a plan for the upcoming events for Season 5, and personally, I believe Nuwa will be some sort of secondary villain associated with the main plot in Season 5.ย 

I am predicting that Nuwa has some strong connections, or at the very least, is acquainted with the Kings of Hell. Perhaps in the past, the Kings of Hell held a grudge against Sun Wukong after erasing his name from the Book of the Dead.

They werenโ€™t able to change the pages since the paper magically link to the people whose names are written, and possibly, recreating a new set of paper will negatively affect the other peopleโ€™s mortality; which the Kings of Hell are not willing to risk.ย 

Leading to the Kings of Hell requesting the aid of the creator of humans, Nuwa, since the residents of the Celestial Realm are not going to approve such a dire plan without the approval of the Jade Emperor.

Maybe the Kings of Hell gained Nuwaโ€™s interest throughout a promise with a type of reward at the end of deal, and making her create a lifeform with equal or stronger power than Sun Wukong.

From the flashback in Season 4 Episode 6, โ€œShow Me The Monster'', there were several stone statues of various animals before the creation of MK (hinting there were several attempts to create the perfect lifeform).ย 

 +

The idea of creating MK as a mystic monkey probably links to the Journey to the West novel, in the chapter where Macaque shapeshifted into the Monkey King and deceives the other pilgrims; and before the reveal of the Six-Eared Macaque, it was stated that the imposter was close to Sun Wukongโ€™s power level, which, Iโ€™m assuming, Nuwa took note.ย ย 

Since Season 4 has hinted that Sun Wukong had some sort of connection with MK before he was created, I am predicting that he possibly knew Nuwa as a friend before she became an acquaintance with the Kings of Hell. Nuwa used that relationship as an advantage to analyse his skills and powers, while discussing using Sun Wukong as a pawn to help MK to be trained by the Monkey King, in order for MK to unlock his powers later in life.ย 

Reasoning why I believe Sun Wukong isnโ€™t aware of Nuwa is supported in the Season 4 special, โ€œEmperorโ€™s Wrathโ€, when Azure Lion was defeated, Sun Wukong questioned him who set him free from the Scroll of Memory, and Azure Lion had no recollection.

Supporting this theory, judging the age of MK when he first met Pigsy in Season 4, Episode 6, โ€œShow Me The Monsterโ€, he seemed to be around the age of 5 years old, which when he should some remembered of Nuwa or Sun Wukong to some degree, but itโ€™s possibly she must have erased MKโ€™s memories. This might be an ability that she might use in Season 5.ย ย 

Nuwa must have deceived Sun Wukong somehow to convince him to protect MK when he proves himself to have potential to become Sun Wukongโ€™s successor, not only to allow MKโ€™s abilities to develop and become stronger, but she might also use MK to spy on the Monkey King from afar.ย ย 

To support this theory, I will use the 5th Anniversary LEGO set of Monkie Kid, as Nuwa is seen to be in disguise while running a jade shop in Megapolis. Perhaps she purposely dropped MK off at Pisgyโ€™s Noodles and lived around the city to observe MK and waited until he was ready to wield the staff. Sun Wukong must have done the same, but without the knowledge of Nuwaโ€™s plan with the Kings of Hell (To learn Sun Wukongโ€™s weaknesses for the sake of devising a plan).ย ย 

In the pilot episode of LEGO Monkie Kid, โ€œA Hero is Bornโ€, MK needed to deliver some noodles to a customer, but ended up dealing with the Demon Bull Family. Perhaps Nuwa also purposely made MK make the trip so that he can find Monkey Kingโ€™s staff and allow MK to meet Sun Wukong and start training because Nuwa might have a deadline to finish her end of the deal, before the Kings of Hell will take action in Season 5.

Connecting to the last theory, I believe there will be a likely chance that Season 5 will introduce the other mystic monkeys from the Journey to the West novel. Judging from the direction of the LEGO Monkie Kid series, there will be new characters introduced other than Nuwa, considering that Season 5 will focus more on MKโ€™s past, and him learning how to control his monkey powers.

For those who arenโ€™t aware, in the Journey to the West novel, it is canon that there are a total of four mystic monkeys, which includes Sun Wukong (Spirit Intelligent Stone Monkey) and Macaque (Six-Eared Macaque Monkey).ย 

The other two are known as the Red Butt Horse Monkey and the Pass through Arm Ape Monkey (using the translated names from the Chinese characters).

Since the series does slightly alternate the Journey to the West lore, perhaps the Red Butt Horse Monkey and Pass through Arm Ape Monkey were created before Sun Wukong and Macaque, and the idea of MK being a new mystic monkey existing in the LEGO Monkie Kid show does bring their attention and they will contribute to the main conflict of Season 5 (Perhaps they know much more about the upcoming conflict with the Kings of Hell and MKโ€™s monkey power awakening).

This prediction might be a bit of a stretch, but since MKโ€™s monkey powers will most likely be one of the main focuses for the plot of Season 5, I believe these two monkeys are willing to become an influence; both negatively and positively.

Reasoning for this prediction is connected to the fact that the Red Butt Horse Monkey is known to have the ability to avoid death and lengthen its life, which I believe might lead the show to make an alliance with Nuwa and the Kings of Hell.ย 

Meanwhile, the Pass through Arm Ape Monkey might be helping MK through his glitching when it comes to his monkey form, and might have more knowledge about dealing withย  MKโ€™s problem than Monkey King.

To support this theory, in Season 4, Episode 7, โ€œPitiful Creaturesโ€, when Wukong first sees MKโ€™s glitching, he looks like he doesnโ€™t look like he know how to deal this side-effect of unlocking the monkey powers, considering that Sun Wukong and Macaque were already created as monkeys and were able control their powers.ย 

The Pass through Arm Ape Monkey might have known of MKโ€™s existence through the battle against Azure Lion in the Season 4 special, โ€œEmperorโ€™s Wrathโ€, as the sky and the whole world was breaking apart, and since the Pass through Arm Ape Monkey can manipulate the moon and stars.

It could be the reason why the Red Butt Horse Monkey told Nuwa and the Kings of Hell about MKโ€™s powers. ย 

 +

I donโ€™t have anything else to say about this theory/prediction. However, if the series doesnโ€™t show them, there HAS to be some influence, Easter eggs, etc. connecting to these mystic monkeys.

Aside from Sun Wukong and Macaque having their pasts explored, the series does have the Demon Bull King appearance in these flashbacks since he was once a member of the Brotherhood, first revealed in Season 4, Episode 2, โ€œNew Adventuresโ€, as everyone is discussing who will be the next Jade Emperor after overthrowing the current one.

From this single flashback alone, DBK was shown to be a good guy, fighting alongside his sworn brothers for they thought was right, and it does beg the question: What made him change his morality from good to bad?

In the pilot, Season 1, โ€œA Hero is Bornโ€, he is first introduced as the main antagonist whose goal is to conquer the world, and suddenly Sun Wukong traps him under a mountain despite DBK being his sworn brother. This minor detail is very unusual considering that in Season 3, Episode 10 โ€œThe Samadhi Fireโ€, showcases Sun Wukong, Demon Bull King and Ne Zha helping to separate the Samadhi Fire from Redson as a child.

Judging from this scene, the event must have taken place post to the Journey to the West, as the Monkey King isnโ€™t wearing the circlet, as most of the flashbacks which are taking place in the Journey to the West shows him wearing the circlet given from Tang Sanzang. The pilot does show Sun Wukong wearing the same suit of armour as in Season 3, Episode 10 โ€œThe Samadhi Fireโ€, and it's strange how the Monkey King went from helping the Demon Bull King to fighting him.ย 

 +

Either something happened between the events of removing of the Samadhi Fire and the events occurred in the pilot, or off-screen there was some conflict between the two, but set a temporary truce to help Redson with the Samadhi Fire.

The most assumed event that could pinpoint the morality change of the Demon Bull King would be when he and Princess Iron Fan met during the battle against Heaven. However, I highly doubt that. Since this event took place before the birth of Redson, and if Demon Bull King and Sun Wukong didnโ€™t have conflict during this time period, then this accusation would be inaccurate.ย 

This wasnโ€™t a theory or a prediction, however, I REALLY do feel like talking about this since itโ€™s been bugging me for quite some time. I hope that Season 5 will be able to resolve this plot hole and perhaps it might correlate with the main plot of the next.

While I do hope, I also doubt it since the Demon Bull Family has not had much screen time in recent seasons. But simultaneously, I bet there will be a chance since the new 5th Anniversary LEGO set does display Redson working at the BBQ restaurant in Megapolis, so maybe a slim chance.ย 

I was going to talk about Peng and Erlang working together in Season 5, considering the current conflict with the Monkie Gang and Peng, and due to the fact that Erlang is a cousin? Brother? Or a family member of the Jade Emperor according to the Journey to the West novel, and wanted to avenge his death.

(Probably ignore this one, this was a last minute theory)

But I didnโ€™t know what else to talk about and it does seem like the two will be working on their own.ย ย 

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the theories that I have come up with. I havenโ€™t gotten the chance to re-watch all of the episodes of LEGO Monkie Kid, so I mostly relied on my memory. Leave some comments about your thoughts and theories of the series or what will happen in Season 5.ย ย ย ย

๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’›THE MONKEY AND THE SERPENT SERIES IS HERE๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿ

As last minute as the title - my story is FINALLY HERE!!! You can access it either as a registered user or guest user.

I would provide a description about what's this is about, but I don't wanna spoil the book, so here's a summary:

"MK the Monkie Kid and his friends, alongside other allies such as Sun Wukong, will continue their adventure against their usual foes and facing the same struggles; but with the aid of a new ally - a wild card who may or may not have more influence on their story than initially thought. But she can't possibly have any connections to the events of what is happening to our heroes... right?"
