Triggerwarning for suicide talk.
Sun Wukong litteraly almost killed himself and I feel like we don't talk about that enough.
I feel like we don't mention how Wukong was gonna use the fire to kill Lady Bone Demon, resulting in killing himself.
Like we skip over that WAY to quick.
I feel like we collectively as a fandom should bring up that Sun Wukong, the man that has 7 IMMORTALITIES, was absolutely going to die so that the world was save.
Despite how much I drag Macaque, he accidentally saved Wukong life.
If Macaque hadn't fucked up the ritual, Wukong would have taken the fire and inadvertently killed himself and lady bone demon.
Like if Wukong ever gets therapy, Sandy should bring up the fact that Wukong has the tendency to litteraly almost kill himself for his friends.
My Sun Wukong angst will never run out cause this man is MISREABLE (me for real)
(Don't die bbg you're too sexy.)

Macaque will be trapped in The Underworld - A season 5 theory
Now, why would this make sense? Because it would fit perfectly with his characther devolpemt so far.
So, lets look at the evidence for that.
Macaque has through these 4 seasons gone from someone who does everything for his own sake, because of his own personal trauma, to someone who is starting to develop direct friendships with our main cast. (which this person talks more about in depth)
Therefore, it would make sense, if we start going into the most mysterious part of this monkey’s past: His time in the Underworld.
This would make sense for two reasons:
We could get answers on how he ended up in The Underworld in the first place (aka Shadowpeach lore)
We could get answers on WHY all our mystic monkeys are getting accused of breaking the sky, but we would also get some more answers about this guy, The Traitor.
The Shadowpeach part makes sense, therefore I want to go into more details with the whole “Macaque meeting The Traitor” - part of this theory, because they are actual scenes that indicates this in the trailer.
As this person mentioned in a breakdown of the trailer, it looks a lot like here that Macaque is getting sucked into Li Jing's Pagoda (because of that flashing light that looks awfully similar),
and after I made a timeline of the trailer, I realized that Macaque doesn’t really show up in the following scenes after he supposetly gets trapped in the Pagoda.
So, from a story perspective, it looks like Macaque stayed behind to fight off Li Jing, while the others got away in the car, while he himself got captured. This would then lead to Macaque again getting trapped in The Underworld, so they could keep an eye (pun intended) on him.
This would then result in Macaque getting (PTSD) flashbacks to his time in The Underworld, where there is a pretty realistic chance, in that time, he MET the Traitor.
Think about it. The Traitors whole goal is “chaos”, and our mystic monkeys are nothing but CHAOS. (talked more about this here)
There is also the fact that a theory (you can find it here) going around that The Traitor was the one who released Azure Lion from his prison, but erased his memory so he didn’t remember how he even got out:
(Season 4, ep 10)
Wukong: Wait, how are you here?
Azure: What, what kind of question is that?! You know exactly how-
Wukong: No, here and now. I put you in The Underworld myself. How did you get out? How did you get the scroll? I know for sure you didn’t steal it, you couldn’t have.
Azure Lion: I- I don’t know… I was…
Wukong: Azure! Who gave you that scroll? Because whoever it was, they must have known this would happen. WANTED this to happen, and they used you to do it.
Azure: I just wanted to make the world a better place.
There is then a good chance that he did something similar to Macaques memory, where one of thoughs memories could be his final fight with Wukong.
The Traitor could have made it so that Macaque remembers it as Wukong DIRECTLY killing him, but as David Breen mentioned, that’s just how Macaque views it.
Therefore, that’s what is going to be Macaque next character development in this season:
What happened in the past? More specifically what ACTUALLY between him and Wukong. Because we, the fandom, don’t know, but maybe MACAQUE doesn’t even know himself.
We can also, with this new information, figure out another important of his next arc: The theme of understanding.
We also know that a lot of the reasons for Wukong and Macaques fallout, is because they MISUNDERSTOOD a lot what the other actually intended.
We also know that Macaque is starting to realize that too, in the way he reacted when he saw his and Wukongs fight again: He realized HE MISUNDERSTOOD what Wukong had meant.
The seeds have been planted everyone, and we are know going to see what they are turning into. And that is a story of Understanding, growth, and friendship (or whatever the hell their realtionship is at this point).

Put on your seatbelt.
Inside Jaune's car.
Neptune: The GPS says we will arrive in 30 minutes.
Jaune: *Serious* Not on my watch.
Sun: *In the back seat, confuse* What do you mean "Not on my watch"?
Jaune: 30 minutes is not the time we need to get there, it's the time we need to beat.
Neptune: *Worry*What do you mean "the time we need to beat"?
Sun: *Worry* I'm not in a hurry.
Jaune: *Wearing a white tank top* It's not about hurry, it's about family.
Neptune: When did you change shirt?!
Sun: *Panic* Oh no, I'm getting out of here.
Jaune: FAMILY!! *He hits the gas before anyone gets out.*
Neptune/Sun: AAAAAH!!!!

Sun: Fifty Lien!
Jaune: Guys-
Neptune: A Hundred lien!
Jaune: I can't- A hundred?
Sun: TWO HUNDRED LIEN!
Jaune: ... Fine.
~~~~~
Jaune: Hey! the Name's Jaune Arc, maybe you've heard of me? Short, Sweet, rolls off the Tongue. Ladies love it. *wink*
Arslan: ... That was a uniquely terrible way of introducing yourself. Why would you do that?
Jaune: I got paid two hundred lien to do so. I was hoping to speak to you anyway, but if I can get some money for introducing myself well - I mean, I'll make a fool of myself if it's funny.
Arslan: ... you were Pyrrha Niko's partner, the one that wore the dress to the dance.
Jaune: Ah, yeah. I was. I still like to think that I am. Uh, even if she's not here in person. It was fun, y'know? It's nice to let yourself do something stupid or silly when you've got time to afford it.
Arslan: Hmm. I'd like to speak more to you when we have the time, but it sounded as if you had actual business to speak of.
Jaune: Oh! Yeah, I did ...
~~~~~
Neptune: Sun.
Sun: I know Neptune.
Neptune: Two hundred lien.
Sun: I know Neptune.
Neptune: And he thanked us.
Sun: Yeah, he did.
Neptune: To be fair, I guess we did get him a girlfriend, and we're giving him money.
Sun: *Sigh* Do you think Blake-
Blake: You dug this hole, now lie in it.
Sun: AH! Oh! How long were you there for?
Blake: The hole time.
Neptune: ... Was that a pun?
Blake: Yep.
