Masked Man/Monkey King
- Voiced by: Zhang He (Mandarin), Jason Ko (English)
- Agent Peacock: Even when he's underdressed, he's exceptionally gaudy about it.

- Carpet of Virility: He's entirely covered in very long red hair.
- Expressive Mask: He can switch the eyeballs to express a certain emotion.

- Retired Badass: He’s grown fed up with being a hero, and is content to bum around his lair while occasionally moonlighting as an assassin.
- That Man Is Dead: Played with. When Ao Guang shows that he knows the masked man is actually the Six-Eared Macaque, he states that the Macaque is dead, killed by Sun Wukong, and he's just a nameless demon. In reality, the Six-Eared Macaque really is dead, and the masked man is actually Sun Wukong himself in disguise.
- Trickster God: What he's called, and given he can shift his form however he pleases and does what he wants, the description is not far off.
Su Junchu
- Voiced by: Li Shimeng (Mandarin), Nicole Fong (English)
- Badass Biker: Her first introduction is her racing against Li Yunxiang during a race. This is what immediately attracts him to her, and even when she’s used as a hostage, she handles herself well against the Iron-Fanned Princess and manages to stay out of danger during Li’s fight against Ao Guang.
- Damsel out of Distress: In the third act, Caiyun kidnaps and beats her up to mess with Li Yunxiang. This doesn’t last long as she’s able to temporarily trap her and flee her grasp— keep in mind she’s a human going against a heavenly disciple to the Chinese pantheon.
- Nice Girl: She’s steadfastly compassionate and caring to her patients, staff, and later Yunxiang and his family.
- Light Is Good: Is dressed in all white in her first appearance and turns out to be a very gentle and good person.

Ao Guang
