Past[]

Early life[]

The Demon Bull King became sworn brothers with Monkey King, Macaque, the Azure Lion, Peng, and Yellowtusk. As he had a feast with them at Flower Fruit Mountain, the Demon Bull King was amused by Monkey King's explanation of the Havoc in Heaven. They all then started talking about the Jade Emperor and his rule. Because of the Jade Emperor's treatment towards the realms, the Demon Bull King believed that the Azure Lion should be the new ruler of the Celestial Realm, as he had all the qualities of one. But Azure Lion denied the offer, saying that it should be Monkey King, to which the Demon Bull King then agreed to.[2] When the Demon Bull King joined his sworn brothers at the assault on the Celestial Realm, he fell in love with Princess Iron Fan when he faced off against her.[3]

Starting a family[]

The Demon Bull King married Princess Iron Fan and had a son with her named Red Son. But after a while, the Demon Bull King witnessed Red Son's untold power, the Samadhi Fire. At first, the Demon Bull King and Princess Iron Fan tried to help Red Son control the flame, but couldn't. Having no other choice, the Demon Bull King extracted the Samadhi Fire from Red Son, with the help of Monkey King and Ne Zha. After the fire was sealed in the Rings of Samadhi, the Demon Bull King gained possession of the green Ring of Samadhi, using it as a nose ring instead of hiding it like the others.[4]

Imprisonment[]

After leaving the Underworld, the Demon Bull King attacked a village and destroyed everything in his path. However, when the Monkey King appeared, the Demon Bull King engaged in a battle with him, but only to be defeated and imprisoned in a mountain, preventing him from escaping from the Underworld for five hundred years.[5][6]

After being released by Red Son, the Demon Bull King took notice of how time has been kind to Princess Iron Fan. Curious about how he was freed, he directed his question toward her. However, before she can respond, Red Son interjected and proudly claimed responsibility for the Demon Bull King's liberation by moving the Golden Staff. The revelation brought a sense of satisfaction to the Demon Bull King. Just as the conversation progressed, MK accidentally stumbled and fell onto Red Son. Seizing the opportunity, the Demon Bull King decided to make MK his first victim as the ruler of the Mortal Realm. However, Red Son intervened, expressing his desire to personally eliminate MK in order to showcase his newfound power acquired over the past five centuries. The Demon Bull King agreed with Red Son's request. MK defended against Red Son's attacks while raising the Golden Staff, leaving the Demon Bull King astonished. Following MK's escape with the Golden Staff, the Demon Bull King vowed to eliminate MK for foiling his schemes. However, Red Son suggested that he should pursue MK. Agreeing with Red Son's suggestion, the Demon Bull King cautioned Red Son about his diminishing patience.

Later at the Flaming Foundry, the Demon Bull King sat upon his throne, adorned in the newly forged armor known as the Furnace, crafted by Red Son. However, the weight of the armor surprised the Demon Bull King. Red Son explained that it was because the armor had not been activated yet, but it had the ability to absorb energy and generate power. When Red Son mentioned that the Golden Staff could be a valuable source of energy for the Furnace, the Demon Bull King reprimanded Red Son for not retrieving it. Princess Iron Fan stepped in, explaining that they will retrieve the Golden Staff in due time. While they await its retrieval, Red Son informed that the Furnace could convert other objects into energy. As a demonstration, he throws his welding mask into the Furnace, empowering the Demon Bull King. Eager to augment his power, Demon Bull King set out to search for rare objects.

You know what's better than limited edition

Upon their arrival at the Shoe Store, the Demon Bull King and Red Son were instructed by the Shoe Store Assistant to join the queue. However, the Demon Bull King opted to display his dominance and intimidate the assistant by revealing his identity and expressing his desire to acquire the yeelzabub shoes. Despite feeling frightened, the Shoe Store Assistant insisted that the Demon Bull King wait in line like everyone else. Unperturbed, the Demon Bull King cautioned the assistant about the consequences and proceeded to utilize the Furnace to absorb a substantial number of shoes, resulting in his growth in size. He then picked up a shoe, asserting that unique shoes surpass limited edition ones.

The next day, the Demon Bull King continued to absorb more items until he was given the Golden Staff by Princess Iron Fan, which strengthens the Demon Bull King.

I am the Demon Bull King

As the Demon Bull King continued to take over the city, he noticed MK and engaged in a battle with him. MK drove himself into the narrow opening of the Furnace, determined to retrieve the Golden Staff, seemingly killing him as the Demon Bull King absorbed MK's power. The Demon Bull King believed that he had finally achieved ultimate power and control over the world. However, his triumph is short-lived as he feels a sudden loss of strength. To his astonishment, a magic stone emerged from the Furnace, revealing MK with the staff in his hand. The Demon Bull King mistook MK as the Monkey King at first. The Demon Bull King retaliated by attempting to blast MK once again, but MK used his staff to push the demon down. MK then employs his staff to grab hold of the top half of a nearby building, planning to imprison the Demon Bull King. The Demon Bull King, realizing what was about the happen and having enough, unleashed a powerful blast, striking MK and sending him crashing into a nearby building.The Demon Bull King asserted his dominance, mocking MK for thinking he could challenge him, emphasizing his identity as the Demon Bull King. Despite MK possessing the Golden Staff, the Demon Bull King dismisses his significance, asserting that they are not the Monkey King. With determination, MK drives the Golden Staff into the ground, creating the Monkey Mech. MK strikes the Demon Bull King with the Golden Staff, causing the demon to shrink back to his normal size. The Demon Bull King was left astounded by the turn of events, unable to comprehend how he was defeated. However, he and Red Son were rescued by Princess Iron Fan at the last minute.

Season 1[]

Bad Weather[]

A week later, the Demon Bull King, filled with frustration and resentment, vents his anger by wreaking havoc upon the Flaming Foundry. He lamented being imprisoned and now facing the loss of the Golden Staff. Princess Iron Fan consoled the Demon Bull King that there is no need for such dramatic displays of anger. Reminding him that they have all the time in the world. Red Son offered his assistance in securing the power that the Demon Bull King so desperately desiresd. Acknowledging his son's offer, the Demon Bull King gave his approval, urging Red Son to swiftly carry out the mission.

The Demon Bull King's anger intensified after Red Son's defeat. Frustrated with MK's continuous victories, he refused to be defeated by a mere mortal. Soon, he discovered a potent spirit beneath the Flaming Foundry, mistakenly believing it to be a power source.

The Great Wall Race[]

The Demon Bull King dismissed Red Son's suggestion of acquiring a Peach of Immortality by participating in the Great Wall Race, favoring instead the idea of unearthing the energy source. However, when Red Son declared that he will not share the prize if he emerges victorious in the race, the Demon Bull King perceives him as a naive boy, confident that he would easily overpower him if they were to compete. Consequently, the Demon Bull King and Princess Iron Fan decide to enter the race themselves, determined to defeat Red Son and claim victory for themselves.

During the race, the Demon Bull King and Princess Iron Fan had to go through a mountain to complete the race after Red Son mocked them for saying that they aren't able to get through one of the racetrack's quick turns. Unfortunately, when Princess Iron Fan mentions the Demon Bull King's experiences with mountains, the Demon Bull King had no other choice but to forfeit the race after remembering his imprisonment.

Skeleton Key[]

After the Bull Clones were able to dig up the tomb, the Demon Bull King attempts to open it but failed, as they required a magical key to unlock it.

Once Princess Iron Fan and Red Son were able to retrieve the Skeleton Key, the Demon Bull King uses it to unlock the tomb. However, once he did, the Demon Bull Family discovered that there was nothing inside but bones until a blue spirit went inside the Demon Bull King's armor, taking control of the Demon Bull King and the Bull Clones.

The End is Here![]

Controlled by the spirit, the Demon Bull King and his army of Bull Clones successfully seized control of Megapolis during MK's absence. Despite their best efforts, the Monkie Kids were unable to overcome the formidable forces, partly due to the Backup Clone that MK had created. The Demon Bull King, reveling in his newfound power, taunted the citizens for their cowardice as they fled in fear. He arrogantly declared that his enhanced abilities would render Monkey King powerless against him. However, his confidence was soon shaken when he received word that the Monkie Kids were en route to confront him. The Demon Bull King's attention was drawn to MK, whom he mistakenly identified as Monkey King due to the spirit. Fueled by his rage and determination, the Demon Bull King vowed that he would not allow the Monkey King to emerge victorious once again.

Red Son approached the Demon Bull King with an offer to eliminate MK and Mei, but instead of considering it, the Demon Bull King burst into laughter. He couldn't fathom why he should trust Red Son, given the countless times he had let him down in the past. The Demon Bull King made it clear that Red Son had only brought failure and disappointment to him repeatedly. The spirit's influence over the Demon Bull King intensified his anger towards Red Son, leading him to accuse him of being a traitor and questioning his audacity to think he could deceive him. Fueled by rage, the Demon Bull King attempted to strike Red Son, but his attack was swiftly blocked by Princess Iron Fan. Undeterred, the Demon Bull King turned his accusations towards Princess Iron Fan, labeling her as a traitor as well. Princess Iron Fan calmly stated that she had no intention of causing harm to him, which only served to further provoke the Demon Bull King. He mocked her, belittling her claim as if she had any power to harm him.

A fierce battle erupted within the Demon Bull Family, with the Demon Bull King gaining the upper hand. However, MK arrived. The Demon Bull King's perception shifted, mistaking MK for Monkey King. Fueled by suspicion, the Demon Bull King confronted MK, accusing him of deceitfully attempting to ensnare him once again. Consumed by rage , the Demon Bull King launched a relentless attack on MK, determined to end his life. Yet, before he could deliver the fatal blow, Princess Iron Fan intervened, using debris to immobilize the Demon Bull King. As the Demon Bull King regained consciousness, a surge of fury propelled him towards his family and MK. Princess Iron Fan and Red Son used their powers in an attempt to fend off the Demon Bull King. Despite their efforts, the Demon Bull King managed to overpower them, declaring that they would all meet their demise together. MK seized a rock and hurled it towards the Demon Bull King. The unexpected projectile disrupted the Demon Bull King's concentration, momentarily halting his attack. Seizing MK firmly, the Demon Bull King voiced his dissatisfaction, stating that he had expected MK to acquire greater knowledge from Monkey King's techniques. With ease, the Demon Bull King effortlessly annihilated MK, only to later discover that it was merely a replica. The true MK promptly summoned multiple duplicates, which relentlessly assaulted the Demon Bull King until the canisters connected to the Furnace shattered, liberating the Demon Bull King from the spirit's influence.

The Demon Bull King awoke, his senses slowly returning to him, and he found himself questioning the events that had unfolded. Seeking answers, he turned to Princess Iron Fan, who asserted that he had returned to her. Princess Iron Fan harnessed her powers, allowing the Demon Bull Family to retreat from the foundry, ensuring their safety.

Revenge of the Spider Queen[]

Following the Battle of the Flaming Foundry, the Demon Bull King and his family abandoned their evil ways. Red believed that a new start as him and the Demon Bull King being street food vendors was a good idea.

During New Year's, the Shoe Store Assistant demanded to speak with the manager. Upon learning that the manager was the Demon Bull King, the Shoe Store Assistant attempted to diffuse the situation by thanking him and Red Son for their service and wishing them a New Year before running away. Red Son expressed frustration with the Demon Bull King's behavior, noting that scaring away customers is not conducive to their new business. However, the Demon Bull King interjected, unwilling to be ridiculed despite giving up evil. Their conversation was interrupted by the arrival of the spider mech, which destroyed their stall and captured the Demon Bull King.

Upon regaining consciousness, the Demon Bull King found himself entangled in spider webs. He struggled to free himself as Spider Queen revealed herself. The Demon Bull King conveyed his disbelief at having been defeated by the so called "Queen of Spiders". Spider Queen corrected him, saying that she was indeed the Spider Queen while that he was nothing but a battery for the spider mech, like all of the other demons she captured. The Demon Bull King became worried about Princess Iron Fan, but the Spider Queen assured him that she had not caught her yet. But she showed the Demon Bull King that she captured Monkey King. Still mad at Monkey King, the Demon Bull King tried to break free from his webs again. Syntax and Huntsman arrived with news about Red Son, as the Demon Bull King dismissed him as useless. When Huntsman revealed that Red Son had escaped, the Demon Bull King expressed his confidence in Red Son's abilities.

Monkey King and the Demon Bull King engaged in a conversation regarding the latter's capture. The Demon Bull King conveyed his dissatisfaction with his captured and placed the blame on Monkey King for giving Spider Queen the power to do so. In response, Monkey King made a playful remark, suggesting that he was Spider Queen's favorite, which led to his capture. The Demon Bull King was starting to get weak until Monkey King mentioned his concern for Princess Iron Fan's safety, which infuriated the Demon Bull King. However, his anger caused him to loosly break free from the webs. Monkey King then taunted him about Red Son's fate, which further enraged the Demon Bull King. Once he was freed, the Demon Bull King grabbed Monkey King, but eventually released him since he already knew about Monkey King's plan. When asked where he was going, the Demon Bull King stutterd and revealed to Monkey King that he was going to find Red Son. The Demon Bull King emerged from the spider mech as he declared his independence as he landed in front of the Spider Queen, causing the Spider Demons to be thrown back. He proceeded to free Red Son from the webs that tied him up and sided with the Monkie Kids.

As MK and Monkey King plummeted from the sky after defeating Spider Queen, the Demon Bull King caught them both as the spider mech exploded. MK, stuttering with gratitude, thanked the Demon Bull King for his heroic act. The three then gazed up at the sky, seeing the aurora lights illuminating. As the group gathered on a rooftop, Mei mentioned Red Son's heroic actions to the Demon Bull King. Red Son requested that his father keep the day's events a secret from Princess Iron Fan. The Demon Bull King concurred and escorted Red Son away from the gathering. Red Son was taken aback by his father's use of the term "Son," before teleporting away with the Demon Bull King.

Season 3[]

The First Ring[]

The Demon Bull King and Princess Iron Fan returned home earlier than expected and found MK, Mei, and Sandy in their fortress. Upon their arrival, the Demon Bull King immediately addressed MK's presence, indicating surprise at his return. Princess Iron Fan demanded an explanation for the Monkie Kids' intrusion. Red Son revealed that the Monkie Kids were searching for the Samadhi Fire, which shocked the Demon Bull King. The Demon Bull King recognized that the Great Sage played a part on this quest. MK explained that they were searching for the Samadhi Fire to destroy the Lady Bone Demon, and explained what she was. The Demon Bull King, already aware of the Lady Bone Demon's identity, acknowledged the necessity of the fire to stop her. Curious about the Monkie Kids' knowledge of the Samadhi Fire, Princess Iron Fan inquired further. The Monkey Kids admitted that while they knew it was powerful, they were unaware of its origin. This led the Demon Bull King to criticized Monkey King for selectively revealing only certain details. The the Demon Bull King and Princess Iron Fan decided to share the story behind the creation of the Samadhi Fire.

As they were done, the Demon Bull King was informed by Princess Iron Fan that Cooking with Chang'e was about to start. The Demon Bull King agreed and followed her. However, while he was asleep, MK took away the green Ring of Samadhi from him. The Demon Bull King attempted to pursue MK, but it was too late as he had already fled with Mei and Sandy. As he and Princess Iron Fan watched the Monkie Kids leave, the Demon Bull King expressed disappointment, believing that Monkey King had doomed everyone.
