Actually, the monk is named Xuanzang with his Japanese name being Genjo Sanzō.

Tripitaka is the traditional term for the Buddhist scriptures themselves and is only used in some English translations of Journey to the West.

I like how the game designed around escorting Trip since escort missions are notoriously easy to gently caress up like Resident Evil 4.

Fun fact: In the source novel, Zhu Bajie either abducts the daughter of the village elder leaving behind a note demanding marriage or in some versions has convinced the elder to allow him to marry the daughter based on his ability to do large amounts of hard work due to his prodigious strength.

After a fight with Wukong, he learns that Wukong was a disciple of the monk Xuanzang and reveals that he had also been recruited by Guanyin to join their pilgrimage and make atonements for his past sins.

I don't know about trying to get him killed but Zhu Bajie has gotten Wukong exiled from the group at least once, specifically by getting him in trouble for killing a mountain demon, Baigujing, attempting to eat Tang Sanzang because Wukong was the only one capable of seeing through the demon's disguises while Bajie was trying to flirt with the first disguise, a beautiful young woman. Wukong, tired of Bajie and Sanzang's BS after three of these attempts including the aforementioned first disguise, leaves warning Sha Wujing not to buy into the BS of the former.

After another incident that results in Sanzang being imprisoned as tiger demon Bajie is forced to apologize to Wukong by the White Dragon Horse, the third son of the Dragon King of the West Sea that serves as Tang Sanzang's steed after eating original horse while the trio attempt to cross the Yingchou Stream which the dragon prince was banished to for accidentally causing a fire that destroyed a pearl given to his father by the Jade Emperor which would have resulted in the prince's execution had Guanyin not appeared and pleaded for his life.
