Breaking the Fourth Wall: An In-Universe fourth wall, actually, as MK is shocked to find out that the Scroll of Memory version of Master Subodhi is fully aware that he’s — well, a memory inside the scroll.
Contrived Coincidence: Of all the chapters Pigsy gets sent to, it happens to be the one where Sandy is trapped in as Sha Wujing.
Then Let Me Be Evil: It seems in his youth, Sha Wujing was treated badly by those around him. Even being treated like a monster, simply for his appearance. So, when Pigsy encounters him, Sha Wujing challenges him to a Death Match. He explains that since the world was so determined to see him as an evil monster, he might as well be one.
The Reveal: Master Subodhi revealing to MK that he, a seemingly normal noodle-delivery boy who can’t remember where or who he came from and is somehow capable of wielding Monkey King’s powers, is more than just The Chosen One...he’s a monkey.
Wham Line: The delivery of The Reveal for MK after Master Subodhi explains he’s not just a human delivery boy, or another Monkey King — he’s something else entirely.
Master Subodhi: Without question, you were not born from the stone as [Monkey King] was! Who or what you are, even I do not know the answer. But, of one thing I am certain — fate has plans for you. Great plans, or foul? Time will tell.
