I didn't realize it right away; but this anime is a Journey to the West... clone? allegory?

Touka is the Fake Tripitaka; aka the Hero of the story who isn't supposed to be the Hero but becomes the Hero anyways

Yuna is Sun Wukong, self explanatory
Marguerit is Zhu Bajie, aka Piggy, the one who eats a lot
Anri is Sha Wujing, aka Sandy, aka the one who was banished from 'heaven' or in this case inverted to be from 'hell'

Never heard of it.
The story was good enough so I don't think it being a copy is something upsetting.
Is that the first time literature copied another?

My initial reaction is that you're trolling, and I got a chuckle out of it.

However, when I reread your comment, I'm honestly worried that you might be serious.

@MagicWasTaken20 Enslaved: Odyssey to the West was inspired by Journey to the West.

Now that you mentioned it, yes, it feels like a parody (1%).

Journey to the West has donghua (chinese ) adaptation in MAL.
