Pg 150: "I'll have a wager with you then... If you're clever enough to get out of my right hand with a single somersault, you will be the winner and there will be no more need for weapons or fighting...if you cant get out you will go down to the world below as a devil for several more kalpas before arguing again". Im guessing the buddha can make all his body parts enormous, and monkey can go several miles in a jump.

Pg 146: "Although the gods had he Great Sage cornered, there were unable to ge near him... ask the Buddha to subdue him" What makes a monkey able to take on several gods. He has to have something special about him. And the buddha that is coming I am predicting will fail, as all the others before have.

Pg 81: "Tell the Protector of the Horses at once that i am a heavenly general come on the orders of the Jade Emperor to subdue him...surrender immediately it will save the lot of you being wiped out" So the monkey did get upset and he left his position. Now the Emperor is upset at him. Judging by the way that guy is talking, im guessing that the Emperors army and the monkey's followers are going to go to war.

Pg 75:"There are no vacancies in any of the palaces, halls, and departments of Heaven, except for a superintendent of the Imperial Stables. Then make him Protector of the Horses" I have a feeling that the monkey isnt going to like being put i charge of a bunch of horses. He thinks so highly of himself so i wonder what he'll do after finding out what job he has.

Pg 63: "If you dont know who i am, then why did you send men to bring me here? We wouldnt dare do such a thing. The messengers must have made a mistake" This sounds like their lying. I wonder why their so scared of this monkey however. If they're the 10 kings of death shouldnt the monkey be scared?
