Yun Jou
“I'll not live my life as a whipped dog for a bastard like you!”
—Yun standing up for himself against the ruffians
Yun Jou (known as Yuan in the fan translation) is a main character and one of the protagonists in The Successor chapter. Along with Hong and Lei, Yun is one of the possible successors to the Shifu's dojo and his Earthen Heart kung fu. He represents the martial arts of the heart or mind.
Profile
Appearance
Yun is a small, scruffy and dirty boy with a quite dirty face. He wears a purple bandana over short, brown hair, a shirt that's open down to the stomach on the top, a pair of tan pants with stains on them by the knees, and a pair of traditional Chinese shoes.
Personality
Yun is a young, innocent boy who doesn't mean to harm anyone, but ends up being a pawn of the Sun Tzu Wang's gang, in order to gain some money for himself and his sick grandmother. Yun is not very strong physically or mentally, but he will do his best and take an extra mile if he's passionate about something. He begins as a very shy and cowardly boy, but grows up to be strong and confident in himself throughout the plot.
Background
During The Successor
Yun was forced by the great Sun Tzu Wang to steal things from the people. Since the Shifu defeats the latter and his goons, Yun genuinely begs the Shifu to teach him, following him to the house. He becomes one of the people trained for the Earthen Heart technique. If he is the surviving disciple, Yun will join the Shifu at the entrance of the Indomitable Fist Fortress.
During The Dominion of Hate
Yun can be found at the summit of the Last Hero's Grave in front of the Hero's Tombstone, where the party can find the Brion. He can be recruited after short interaction.
Trivia
- Yun´s name is based off of Yuen Biao, an actor and martial artist who played roles along Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan.
- His personality is also based off Sha Wujing, one of the three disciples in the novel Journey to the West.
- As Yun has the highest IQ/Special out of all disciples, it's supposed that he mainly relies on technique rather than mere power or speed.
