Yin and Jin are another good example, in ''The Great Wall Race'', they were able to participate in the titular race with no issues, and later even hijack the public broadcast of the race without anyone questioning it much. Later, in ''Noddles Or Death'', the two even have a demonic accountant/secretary, appearing in a highly public occasion without anyone commenting on it, seemingly just doing a job without any sort of evil scheme behind it (discounting her Bosses' plan, of course).

Lady Bone Demon said that every path MK takes will lead to pain. The scroll's curse called him a harbinger of chaos. Since seeing Monkey King's past and discovering that he wasn't exactly the cheeky, fun (albeit irresponsible) guy MK viewed him as, becoming short-sighted and selfish from the powers he gained, it seems fully possible that MK's general anxieties about hurting people will be further shaped by these events: that is to say, that he will begin to more specifically fear that he will lose sight of the reason he does what he does (to protect the people he cares about and preserve the world they live in) due to his impulsivity and immense power.
* He also has Azure Lion's example to worry about. An incredibly strong fighter becoming a WellIntentionedExtremist and almost destroying reality would definitely add to his trauma.

[[WMG: Nüwa created MK.]]
We see a woman in MK's flashback who holds a carving of a monkey, presumably MK, in her hands. Nüwa was a creator deity in ancient China who was said to have made people from clay, and who repaired Heaven and Earth after a fight between the gods using five different colored stones. Nüwa was also said to have the bottom half of a snake, and the woman in MK's flashback is shown from the waist up. After the events of the Season 4 finale, it would make sense for a goddess who once repaired the fabric of the world to be involved in it a second time, and as a creator of humanity it would make sense for her to have reappeared one last time to make a new protector for them.

[[WMG: MK and his friends were deliberately pushed together to prevent MK from becoming a second Monkey King]]
Monkey King terrorized several people during his younger years until he joined the original pilgrims. Given that MK is also a stone monkey and shares several personality traits with Wukong, it would naturally lead people to worry that MK would follow in the Monkey King's footsteps. In order to prevent this, MK was led to Pigsy's noodle shop and raised with the people who are similar to (or are the newest incarnations of) the pilgrims who spurred Wukong's character growth.

When we watch the flashback of the Mayor about to execute the Emperor, he already had blue eyes. Unlike the other people LBD possessed, though, he's shown to be lucid and willing to follow her orders. Given that she's a [[ManipulativeBitch manipulator]], it's likely that she gradually charmed him until he became a WillingChanneler and then proceeded to [[MindControl take the rest of his mind by force]].

Most of the people Lady Bone Demon "worked" with were either coerced, manipulated, or possessed. The Spider Queen was manipulated into thinking LBD wished to help her; Macaque was coerced after he betrayed her; and the little girl/Monkey King were used as hosts of power.

editing to make the tang theory cleaner


There are several similarities Tang and the Great Monk share. One episode shows that Tang is completely unaffected by the Spider Queen's flirting, despite Pigsy being affected. The episode "Amnesia Rules" had an amnesiac Monkey King immediately mistake Tang for the Great Monk, indicating that they look very similar (which is kind of downplayed when Monkey King also mistook Mo for Wujing). "Benched" and "The Samadhi Fire" show that Tang has the ability to manipulate golden light/orbs. Finally, in the latter episode, a golden cicada lead him to reading the scroll.

Given that the Great Monk is, well, a Buddhist monk, that leaves little in the room for descendants. And, given that Tang was never shown to work to have any of his golden abilities, it hints that Tang might be the reincarnation of the Great Monk himself rather than having being a distant blood-relative or acting as a foil for the Great Monk.

Right now, Macaque is suffering from a DealWithTheDevil with Lady Bone Demon and is only hellbent on getting the protagonists to keep from getting royally screwed over. And repeatedly already, at least one of the heroes have offered him the chance to [[EnemyMine work together]] against her. Plus, his warped view of friendship is being actively challenged, and finally having to work together with Team MK may ultimately drive home the realization of what being TrueCompanions like them really means. He may not exactly be joining the group permanently at the end, but he'll at the very least walk away with a better understanding of how he should do better moving forward.

In ''Revenge Of the Spider Queen'', Red Son and Demon Bull King were able to run a food stand together, again in the open public, which is especially notable for the latter, since in his last appearances he flattened a good chunk of the city. Not to mention the pilot where the shoe store clerk, and the people waiting in line, weren't all too bothered by their appearance (or more accurately DBK's appearance, since Red Son looks Human) until they started to ransack the place.

Some Demons still seem to use disguises though, as seen in ''Impossible Delivery'' where a bunch of Demons take the shape of kids playing in the street to lure in victims, and there is also the "Mayor" of the Lady Bone Demon, but, as far as I can tell, they seem to be in the minority of those on-screen, and do so for a specific purpose, most, like DBK and Yin and Jin, go about with their faces unmasked, so to speak.
