Saiyuki article: Otomedia July 2017

It took me a while, but better late than never, right? XD Big thanks to @flowermiko for sharing the scans! See her blog for a text-free version of the image.

As always, text in (parenthesis) or 【fancy brackets】is part of the article; text in [square brackets] is a note from me.

They pray they arrive in India... And refresh themselves with a cold ice cream ♪

Dreams for early summer ♡♡ Wishes for refreshing men

Manga artist Minekura Kazuya Sensei’s famous “Saiyuki” series has passed its 20th year of serialization! And now there is just under a month left before the broadcasting of the new “Saiyuki Reload Blast” anime, which was created to commemorate the occasion ♪ As for the story in this last arc... it continues to follow the ever-chaotic days of the Sanzo Ikkou as they head for the West and India. You’ll no doubt feel nostalgic when you see the loudly quibbling Son Goku and Sha Gojyo, Genjo Sanzo’s mounting irritation with the two, and Cho Hakkai gently calming one and all! However, it seems like the “tragedy of 500 years ago” stands in the Sanzo Ikkou’s way...!? Perhaps we can expect a development hot enough to rival the heat of midsummer. For now, we can only wait for the broadcast ♪ In this month’s issue we tackle Director Nakano about the truth behind the anime! All you fans who dream of seeing the Sanzo Ikkou moving in anime again, you have to see this ♡

Q. If Goku were to wish upon a star, what do you think he would wish? “I just want to eat” (Nakano)

Son Goku (voice: Hoshi Souichirou) A heretical being neither human nor youkai nor god. He once committed a grave crime and was shut away in a rock cave for 500 years. Has a pure personality and a huge appetite.

[Insert: Goku] ▶︎ He skillfully manipulates his Nyoibou when fighting youkai.

Q. If Sanzo were to wish upon a star, what do you think he would wish? “I just want to sleep” (Nakano)

Genjo Sanzo (voice: Seki Toshihiko) One of only 5 highest-ranking monks in Shangri-la. He shows no sign of embracing Buddhism, and enjoys drinking, smoking, and gambling. He’s selfish, but possesses amazing insight.

The Other Travelers Sha Gojyo (voice: Hirata Hiroaki) A taboo child born of a youkai and a human. He flirts with any and all women, but can actually be good-natured and considerate. Q. If Gojyo were to wish upon a star, what do you think he would wish? “I just want to be popular” (Nakano)

Cho Hakkai (voice: Ishida Akira) A bit like the Sanzo Ikkou’s secret leader. He used to be a human, but he was bathed in the blood of the 1000 youkai he killed and became a youkai himself. Q. If Hakkai were to wish upon a star, what do you think he would wish? “Everyone, please calm down” (Nakano)

Behind the Scenes Interview with Director Nakano Hideaki Nakano Hideaki. Anime director, manga author, animator. Works he directed include “Aoharu x Machinegun”, “Servamp”, etc. --- Please tell us about being chosen to direct this anime. A producer I worked with before recommended me. --- What was your first impression of this series when you read the manga or saw the anime that had aired up until now (“Gensoumaden Saiyuki”, “Saiyuki Reload”, etc.)? Even though the art feels beautiful, it’s a true shounen manga; that made it easy to read and really sucked me in. --- What do you think is the appeal of “Saiyuki Reload Blast”? The fact that it is a direct continuation of “Saiyuki” is its biggest appeal. I think you’ll be able to see the guys’ growth, the increase in their trust, and the cohesion of their group. --- Is there a memorable exchange between the original work side (committee, producer) and the production staff? We spent a lot of time carefully talking about how we could add in the original scenes without disrupting the storyline; that was difficult. Especially “UraSai”: jokes were suggested and discarded numerous times... That repetition sticks in my mind. --- Please tell us about the charm or noteworthy points of the Sanzo Ikkou, one by one. 【Sanzo】He’s arrogant, but has an unwavering thread running through him. The danger that he’ll turn his gun on his allies as well is attractive. I think that’s his way of showing affection. 【Goku】He’s the one and only honest mood-setter in the group of drifters, and his strength of spirit comes through in the original work. 【Gojyo】He’s a comforting character, and he’s well-rounded when push comes to shove. I think he’s an easy-going person who doesn’t sweat the small things, and is the most conscious of and caring for those around him. 【Hakkai】At first glance he’s a quiet young man, but I suspect he’s the scariest of all four. That gap is interesting. --- This is the July issue, meaning we’ve finally entered the summer season. Which “Saiyuki” character do you think most fits summer? I suppose Kougaiji. He gives off a “summer man!” feeling, especially since he bares his chest. Also, his personality is fiery, so I think it’s a perfect match. --- Which character do you think least suits summer? Sanzo’s clothes look warm, and it seems like he wouldn’t handle summer well. --- Lastly, please give a message for the fans of the “Saiyuki” series! The staff and production team all worked hard to create content that everyone, new fans and old fans alike, could enjoy! What’s going to happen to the Ikkou now... Please passionately watch over them!! Thank you very much!!

Saiyuki Gaiden Anthology: Small Promise

I'm alive! Mostly XD. Still working on the character info sheets from the back of Blast vol 3, but in the mean time, here's the next story in the Gaiden Anthology I had in my notebook.

@seiten-taisei is wonderful and shared the raws (go download them here!). See the table of contents in this entry for links to translations of the other stories in this collection.

Goku wants pork belly -filled meat buns, but you can't get them in Heaven.

P20 Konzen: Sorry Tenpou. Thanks for watching Goku... I was able to finish my work early. Tenpou: He can stay home by himself if you give him a book, and he’s quiet too. Konzen: Aah... That book about the flying anpan, huh? Tenpou: No. sfx: door opening Tenpou: 100 Best Restaurants of the Lower World. Small Promise Hiraku Naki book: 100 Best Restaurants of... Preserved Edition: Reasonable junk food from essential shops completely...

P21 Konzen: Huh? Tenpou: Goku, Konzen’s here to pick you up. Goku: Konzen! You finished your work? sfx: tap tap Konzen: Yeah... Goku: Hey Konzen, I wanna try this! Pork belly -filled meat buns, isn’t that amazing? Konzen: Let me just say, we are not going to the Lower World just to eat that... sfx: pout Goku: Konzen’s a cheapskate. Konzen: Who’re you calling a cheapskate! Tenpou: If you can’t go to the store, why not make some?

P22 Konzen: ... You say ‘make it’ like it’s easy, but we don’t even have any ingredients. Goku: Uuuuuu. Ten: No, we do. I thought we could use the char siu from the ramen toppings. Konzen: (thinking) He says ‘we’ but I bet Kenren’s going to make it. Goku: Wooow. Ten-chan, you c’n make this? sfx: smile Tenpou: Of course.

P23 Tenpou: So, let’s make some pork belly buns. Kenren: I wondered why you suddenly called me over... I’m not your personal chef! Tenpou: Kenren. sfx: clack Tenpou: Are you saying we have the unworldly Konzen deal with this chunk of meat...? Kenren: He’d faint if he saw this. How’d you even get it into Heaven... Tenpou: Through an unauthorized route.

P24 Tenpou: Yes, so I left making the wrapping to those two. Goku: Konzen... lemme try. sfx: squish squish Goku: Like this... You gotta mix it stronger. sfx: squash squash Konzen: (panting) ...... Kenren: Can’t tell who’s the guardian. Tenpou: You’re right.

P25 sfx: bam Tenpou: Now Kenren, do your best making the pork belly and char siu! Kenren: Did the orders just increase? ...Well, that’s fine. Guess I’m the only one doing his best on this team. Goku: Uwah, looks good! BG: Well done Konzen: Be careful you don’t burn yourself when you eat. Goku: Aah. Yummmm. The meat inside’s super soft. Konzen: Hey, you’re spilling. Tenpou: Ah, being able to eat delicious pork belly buns without going to the Lower World is heaven. The char siu is tasty too.

P26 Tenpou: Shall we set up a cooking competition and dominate the other recipe books? Goku: Agreed! BG: Yes yes Konzen: We don’t have time for that. sfx: sigh Konzen: Seems like the Heavenly Army is getting deployed more and more these days. Tenpou: Well... that is true. Goku: Oh. sfx: depressed Konzen: ---

P27 Konzen: Well, let’s think about it when our days off match up. sfx: brighten Goku: Really? For serious!? sfx: wipe Konzen: ...Yeah. I don’t make promises I can’t keep. Goku: Smiling really doesn’t suit you, huh Konzen. Konzen: You monkey... END

Saiyuki Gaiden Anthology: Big Trouble Happens More than Little Issues

Here's the second story in the Gaiden Anthology, raws provided by @seiten-taisei. She's sharing the anthology, along with tons of other stuff, here. See the table of contents in this entry for links to my translations of the other stories in this collection as I post them.

Goku breaks something from Tenpou's collection. Kenren and Konzen help (?) him make it better.

P14 Big Trouble Happens More Than Little Issues Mikawa Verno Goku: Uh... What do I do, Ken nii-chan... Kenren: Huh? Woah, the heck is that? You really broke that thing. Goku: It... it’s from Ten-chan’s room... Kenren: Geh, it’s part of Tenpou’s weird collection? Goku: Where’s Ten-chan? I gotta say sorry... Kenren: Ahaha, why bother? Just leave it; he probably doesn’t even remember that piece of junk. sfx: chop; punch Konzen: I’ll bury you. Don’t lead a brat down the path of evil. Kenren: Did you have to hit me twice? Goku: Konzen... Konzen: ...Listen up Goku. This is a story about what happened to a certain man in his youth.

P15 Narration: One day, that boy cut down his father’s cherry tree. The father treasured that tree. When he saw it the next day, the father shook with anger and demanded “Who chopped down my tree with an axe?” The son stated plainly, “I cut it down.” Goku: ! Konzen: Hearing that, the father took his son to one side... made his son bare his butt and slap slap slapslapslapslapslap crack crack bam ba-ba-ba-bam crick smack bam boom! Well, he got super angry. Kenren: Why’d you tell that kinda story now!? Actually, the way I heard it, wasn’t that the Lower World story where the boy gets praised!? Konzen: No, that was the story of the damn brat who lived next door to my parents’ house. I just remembered it. Kenren: You’ve scared the crap outta Goku!

P16 Konzen: Let’s run a little test before confessing. Tenpou: Oh, hello. What’s happened? Everyone’s all together. Kenren: Hey, so, Tenpou. You said before you knew exactly where all your belongings are, right? Tenpou: Yes. Kenren: Can we test that? You don’t have to say if you don’t think you know... but it’s a memory test. Turn around ♡ Tenpou: Haha, another strange game. Kenren: (whisper) Okay. Let’s see if he notices if we mess with the stuff over here a bit! Move it around randomly! But don’t make any really obvious changes!

P17 Kenren: I just said don’t make huge modifications! Tenpou: Um, I feel like someone I know just... Kenren: Ah, no no, don’t worry ‘bout it, don’t worry! O-kay, all done! Go for it! Tenpou: Goku has an extra chain; the size of the book in the upper right of the bookshelf has changed; the image in the frame is different; and the flying American copper butterfly has become a common blue butterfly. Kenren: Eeeee! You noticed the changes even in this mean Spot the Difference scene!! Hmm, it’s just a matter of time before he notices that toy is missing... Goku: S... So I better say sorry... Bu... But I’m scared... I-I know! I’ll ask everyone! sfx: dash Kenren: !? Goku!?

P18 Narration: And so, Goku Jiroushin: Oh... you broke the toy. Narration: sought advice from everyone on hand about this situation. Man 1: Even if you ask us... Kanzeon: Oh that’s amusing. I’d break it open again and pick a fight. sfx: shakes head Man 2: Ehhh!? Man 3: That guy’s collection!? Narration: The only one he didn’t ask Tenpou: ? sfx: murmur People: That’s the one who had his toy broken. Narration: was Tenpou himself. Tenpou: Lately, it seems like people have been whispering and muttering behind my back. Kenren: ! R... really!? I w-w-w-wonder why! Tenpou: Actually I think I may know what’s going on. Kenren: !? sfx: cringe Tenpou: ... A birthday surprise...!! Aaahh!

P19 Tenpou: Aah, I suppose I should pretend to know nothing in this situation. But my birthday isn’t for a while yet. I wonder who thought of this. Goku: Ah, um, Ten-cha-- Tenpou: Aah, this has never happened to me before, I’m getting carried away! Narration: It became hard not to throw a party. BG: Happy Birthdaaaaayyy! Tenpou: Uwah, what a surprise. Thank you! But today’s not my birthday. BG: Ehhh!!? Seriously!? Kenren: Man, who thought this up!? But we went through all this trouble, so let’s just party! Goku: Ten-chan, this’s from me ‘n Ken nii-chan. It’s a hand-made pretty lady statue. Tenpou: Wow! Konzen: Here’s a present from me. It’s delicious tea. ...Well, coarse tea. bag: tea Tenpou: Wow, thank you! sfx: excitement Tenpou: (thinking) ...Making such great memories just because a single decoration got destroyed, not bad. Narration: He realized. Be sure to apologize when you do something you shouldn’t! END

P6 Goku: Heeeeyyy Ten-chan. What’s ‘muscle training’? Konzen’s Buff Challenge Mikami Ritsuhiro Tenpou: ...... Huh? Umm, I think you’re plenty strong Goku, so I doubt you need any muscle training... Goku: No! Not me! I’m talkin’ ‘bout Konzen! Tenpou: Konzen?

P7 Goku: The other day, y’know, Ken nii-chan, he said “Konzen’s skinny an’ weak an’ dangly like a burdock root, so he should do some muscle training”. Konzen: Get lost you forehead jerk! Goku: ? Tenpou: Ahh, I see... Well, it’s true I’ve never seen Konzen lift anything heavier than his stamp or chopsticks. Or paper. Goku: Hey, hey Ten-chan! Will Konzen get strong if he does that ‘muscle training’ thing? Tenpou: ... I wonder. It feels like he’d sprain his back with one round of sit ups though. He sits all day long, after all. Goku: ... Oh... sfx: disappointed

P8 Tenpou: Goku, did you want Konzen to become strong? Goku: ...Insteada becomin’ strong... I wanna see a buff Konzen! BG: Macho Man sfx: buff Goku: Konzen, you’re awesome!! Tenpou: I want to see that too. Then, why don’t you ask Konzen? Fuhu. Goku: ? Tenpou: --And so

P9 Tenpou: I prepared some basic muscle training goods for you, Konzen. Mail-order is so convenient. sfx: piled sfx: pull Box: Rakuten Konzen: I didn’t ask for ANY of this!! Tenpou: You spend all day every day doing desk work. If you don’t move your body every now and then, you’ll get old. sfx: snap Goku: Ow! Konzen: I don’t want to hear that from a guy whose hobby is holing up in his room and reading. Tenpou: I have missions to the Lower World too though. Konzen: My muscles are already aching, ever since that monkey arrived...! Anyway, clean all that up right now. Goku: Konzen! Konzen!

P10 Goku: I wanna see a buff Konzen! Konzen: ...Only 10 minutes. Goku: Yay!! Tenpou: (thinking) He spoils Goku. Goku: Which one’re you gonna use, huh!? Tenpou: You should start right away with the harder one. After all, we have to make Konzen buff in 10 minutes. Konzen: Like that’ll happen!! Narration: And then

P11 Narration: Dumbbell (20kg / 44lbs) Konzen: Nnaaaaagh! sfx: speedy lifting Narration: Abdominal roller sfx: vrooom Tenpou: Good luck. Narration: Pull up bar Goku: You okay Konzen? BG: Weakening. Narration: 10 minutes later sfx: panting Goku: ...Ten-chan. Konzen did the ‘muscle training’ but he didn’t change at all. sfx: wheezing BG: Ragged Tenpou: Well, life would be too easy if one could actually get buff in only 10 minutes. Konzen: (thinking) These guys...!

P12 Goku: But it was fun playing new things! Let’s do it again Konzen! Konzen: Hey. It’s been 10 minutes. Hurry up and get out. sfx: door opening Kenren: Ohh, so here’s where you were, Tenpou. Uh, what’s all this? Tenpou: Ah, we did a bit of muscle training. Kenren: Muscle training? Y’don’t need tools for that.

P13 Kenren: It’d be muscle training just lifting up Goku, right? Arrow: Approximately 80+kg / 176+lbs Arrow: Approximately 80+kg / 176+lbs Goku: Konzen! Carry me!! Tenpou: How nice. You can toss him in the air. Kenren: How ‘bout letting him ride on your shoulders? Konzen: All of you, OUT NOW!! Narration: The next day he ached all over and couldn’t get out of bed. END

Presenting screen caps from episodes 9 - 12!!

◆ Cast Comment ◆

Now that the final episode has been recorded, we receive comments from Genjo Sanzo’s voice Seki Toshihiko-san, Son Goku’s voice Hoshi Souichirou-san, Sha Gojyo’s voice Hirata Hiroaki-san, and Cho Hakkai’s voice Ishida Akira-san.

< Questions > ① Please tell us your impressions having finished recording the final episode. ② Looking back through all the episodes, is there a scene or a line that made a lasting impression on you? ③ Please give us a highlight from the final episode, and leave a message for the fans who support the TV anime “Saiyuki Reload Blast”.

◎ Seki Toshihiko-san, voice of Genjo Sanzo ① They were in a big pinch heading into the final episode! The Sanzo Ikkou never retreat, even face to face with Nataku’s overwhelming abilities. As expected, I feel like everyone’s zeal for acting has gone up. The final episode definitely has a unique feel to it. ② Episode 8 “Kekkai” [Barrier]. Sanzo and Kougaiji’s head-on confrontation. It would be easy with all four of the Ikkou, but could Sanzo stop Kougaiji on his own!? That was exciting. The line that made a lasting impression on me was “You plan on killing me while Goku and the others aren’t here, and getting your hands on two scriptures. It’s a huge chance to kill two birds with one stone. You sure are lucky, aren’t you Prince.” ③ I think you’ll see some scenes in the second half that weren’t in the original manga, put there in order to give an end to the story for the TV anime. And we’re the same as you! We’re wondering about the remaining mysteries as well. I really hope you’ll watch over their journey until the very end. Please support them!

◎ Hoshi Souichirou-san, voice of Son Goku ① I was seriously like “It’s already over!?” It was the first TV anime adaptation in a while, so it was super sad when it ended. But it was a very fulfilling and satisfying recording session. I look forward to the day we get to do the continuation of this. ② Saiyuki is definitely a treasure trove of famous scenes and lines. There’s everything from casual lines to cool one-liners so I can’t choose, but, for example, Goku’s answer to Tenjin in episode 3... or the scene where Kanzeon Bosatsu scolds Goku at the end of the Gaiden arc... There’s lots of parts I like. ③ What’s going to happen to the “Saiyuki” journey...? What path will the Sanzo Ikkou choose...? Please look forward to the last of this TV series. And look out for Saiyuki from now on too!

◎ Hirata Hiroaki-san, voice of Sha Gojyo ① It was over in a flash. Even though there were 12 episodes in all, it felt far shorter than that. It felt like we ran through it in an instant, so I’d have liked to do more. ② Sharak Sanzo entered in the second half, so it was really heart-pounding and fun. As expected, out of all the series, the story of the Gaiden arc left a huge impression. ③ As for a highlight, I’d like it if the people who watch could feel it for themselves. Since the second half of recording coincided with the start of the TV anime’s airing, we were able to record while taking into consideration the fans’ response; it felt like we were making it with all the fans. Please watch to the very end.

◎ Ishida Akira-san, voice of Cho Hakkai ① It felt like the Sharak Sanzo arc finished in an instant. Amid all of that we got to see important movements by the Kougaiji side and Heaven side, so I think there was important content. ② That would be the shocking remark caused by Taruchie’s foresight. Overturning fate with brute force may be the Sanzo Ikkou’s way, but it’s uncertain how things will develop in the future. ③ I suppose the confrontation with Nataku is the highlight. The Sanzo Ikkou will continue West no matter what happens, so I pray for another opportunity for us to see them in an anime.

Saiyuki game: Rebellious War Prince pt3

More of the Gensoumaden GBA game. Here's the first part of chapter 2. It's the fake Sanzo Ikkou! XD

▷Continue Game

Chapter 2

Village Elder: In an earth-shakingly dark time, suspicious creatures appear from the blackness. Humans flee, and the world becomes a picture of hell. Then, a ray of light shines from the East, and a young man appears. He has a scripture draped about his shoulders, and a crimson chakra on his forehead. Accompanied by three companions, he wipes out the suspicious creatures, and peace once agains returns to the land. This is the legend passed down since ancient times in our village. Boy: So, Village Elder, who is that person? Elder: That man is the Priest Sanzo-sama. He’s the powerful monk who read scriptures and defeated the bad youkai long ago.

~~~

Goku: Hah, hey Sanzo, I’m hungry. Gojyo: Can’t you say anything else? Every day it’s “I’m hungry, I’m hungry.” Guess a monkey only remembers one thing※. Goku: How dare you, you pervy kappa! Even though your brain’s made outta sponges! Gojyo: You sure say some strange things despite not knowing what they mean. You idiot monkey. Goku: Shut up, I do so know what it means! Gojyo: Oh, is that so? Then what’s it mean, huh? Go on, tell me. C’mon, c’mon. Goku: Sanzo~. Sanzo: Twitch twitch. ▶︎...... ▶︎You’re noisy, shut up

▷...... Sanzo: ...... Goku: I’mma kick your butt! Gojyo: I’mma kick your butt! Goku: No, yours! Gojyo: No, yours! Hakkai: Now now, both of you calm down. We’ll be arriving at a town soon. Hakkai’s technique went up 7! Goku’s strength went up 5! Gojyo’s strength went up 5!

▷You’re noisy, shut up Sanzo: You’re noisy, shut up! Goku: Uwah! Gojyo: Uwah! Sanzo’s attack power went up 3! Goku’s strength went up 5! Gojyo’s strength went up 5! Hakkai: Now now, we’ll be arriving at a town soon.

~~~

Goku: Food, food, food, yay. Hakkai: We should be able to find food and an inn easily in this town. Gojyo: Now the only problem is if there are any beauties around. ▶︎Food! ▶︎Shopping ▶︎Explore

▷Food! Goku: Sanzo, food, food, fooood. Sanzo: Take that. Shut up! Goku: Owww. Sanzo’s attack power went up 3! Goku’s attack power went up 5! Goku’s strength went up 5!

▷Shopping Hakkai: Yes, our supplies are running low. Sanzo: Right, let’s go. Sanzo’s technique went up 6! Hakkai’s technique went up 7!

▷Explore Gojyo: Right, where’re the beauties at? Goku: Pervy kappa. Gojyo’s strength went up 5! Gojyo’s technique went up 4!

Sanzo: Hm? Boy: Ow, I’m sorry, we were playing tag. Hakkai: Are you all right? You shouldn’t run in the street. Boy: Ah, white robes, a scripture on his shoulders, and piercing blue eyes. You’re Priest Sanzo-sama! Man: What’d you say? Woman: Priest Sanzo-sama!

~~~

Mayor: Priest Sanzo-sama, thank you so much for stopping by our tiny village. Hakkai: What’s going on, please? Mayor: Our village was once saved by Priest Sanzo-sama. That was approximately 400 years ago. Goku: Sanzo, you came here that long ago? Sanzo: As if. Hakkai: The Sanzo name is passed down through generations of people who protect the sutras. Mayor: We weren’t able to properly thank him at that time, so we decided that if ever the Priest Sanzo-sama were to stop by, our village would give him a warm welcome. We’ve been waiting all this time. Sanzo: I see. I understand now. Mayor: Then, Sanzo: No, I appreciate the sentiment, but -- Gojyo: Sanzo says thank you for the welcome. Goku: Sanzo says he’s hungry. Sanzo: 『I’ll kill you』 Mayor: Well then, we’ll prepare right away. Goku: Hold on! Mayor: ??? Goku: Sanzo ▶︎wants to eat meat ▶︎wants beautiful waitresses ▶︎would like a bit of sake

▷wants to eat meat Goku: Sanzo says he wants to eat meat. Sanzo: 『I’ll seriously kill you!』 Sanzo’s attack power went up 3! Goku’s technique went up 3!

▷wants beautiful waitresses Gojyo: Sanzo says let the waitresses be beauties. Sanzo: 『I’ll seriously kill you!』 Sanzo’s attack power went up 3! Gojyo’s technique went up 4!

▷would like a bit of sake Hakkai: Ah, it seems he’s saying he’d like a bit of sake, too. Sanzo: 『I’ll seriously kill you!』 Sanzo’s attack power went up 3! Hakkai’s technique went up 7!

Mayor: Well then, we’ll get preparations started right away. Sanzo: ... shit. Goku: What’re you mad for, Sanzo? Gojyo: Yeah, they said they’re gonna treat us, so we should just gratefully accept. Sanzo: You two simpletons, I’m worried about what comes after that. Hakkai: Meaning? Sanzo: These sorts of people will blabber on about me staying or preaching to them as thanks for a meal and a bed. Hakkai: Hahaha, that’s a disaster for Sanzo, but has nothing to do with these two. Fake!Hakkai: You there! You outrageous people, pretending to be the Sanzo Ikkou. We’re the real deal, and now that we’re here you won’t get away with it, you rude miscreants. Goku: Ahahahaha, what’s up with that? Fake!Gojyo: Don’t laugh, impolite fool. Fake!Goku: Do you know who this man is? He is the legendary Priest Sanzo-sama. Gojyo: Heeheehee, I’m dyin’. You tryna kill me with laughter? Impolite fool, he says. Goku: The Gojyo, the Gojyo, heeheehee. Hakkai: Pff, hey now, that’s rude to the cosplayers. Sanzo: Don’t ask me if I know who that guy is. Fake!Hakkai: You go too far, you fakes. Gojyo: What was that? Who’s gone too far, you incompetent impostors! Sanzo: Enough, leave it. Mayor: Oh my, what in the world is going on here? Well, well, the real ones are...

~~~

Goku: What just happened? Hakkai: Well, you see, we’re the ones who seem more like fakes. Goku: We didn’t even get to eat anything yet. Sanzo: Well, at least now I don’t have to deal with anything troublesome. Goku: Doesn’t it tick you off that we were mistaken for the fakes?! Sanzo: What do you say we do? ▶︎Nothin’ ▶︎Punch ‘em!

▷Nothin’ (Nothing happens)

▷Punch ‘em! Sanzo: Take that. Shut up! Goku: Owww. Sanzo’s attack power went up 3! Goku’s strength went up 5!

Hakkai: What’s the big deal? We’ve secured a place to sleep tonight, after all. Goku: A place to sleep, huh.

~~~

Mayor: I sincerely apologize. We were nearly tricked. Death to the imposters! Fake!Sanzo: Ahahaha, no need to go so far. This sort of thing happens often. Mayor: That’s Priest Sanzo-sama for you, so kind. Fake!Sanzo: Ahem, by the way, Mayor, we four have been continuing on a difficult journey this past week, so... Mayor: Aah, I understand, we’ll prepare the ultimate feast for you. Please wait a moment.

~~~

Gojyo: Heeyy, not yet? Goku: Food, foooood. Guard: Y-yes, right away. 『Who would have thought I’d end up in this situation. Cries.』 Goku: And then -- ▶︎Change out the ashtray ▶︎This local sake is delicious ▶︎More beer

▷Change out the ashtray Gojyo: Change out the ashtray Guard: Yes, right away. Goku: Chomp chomp, munch munch. Gojyo’s technique went up 4! Goku’s technique went up 3!

▷This local sake is delicious Hakkai: This local sake is delicious. Guard: It is, isn’t it. Goku: Chomp chomp, munch munch. Hakkai’s technique went up 7! Goku’s technique went up 3!

▷More beer Sanzo: More beer! Guard: Yes, right away. Goku: Chomp chomp, munch munch. Sanzo’s technique went up 6! Goku’s technique went up 3!

~~~

Fake!Goku: Wh-what is this? Mayor: The ultimate vegetarian feast. Fake!Sanzo: What about this is this ultimate? Fake!Gojyo: This just looks like playhouse food to me.

~~~

Fake!Sanzo: Man, after that measly meal they had me preach to them so much. Fake!Goku: Don’t complain, don’t complain. Youkai: Kukukuku. Fake!Gojyo: Wh-who’s there?! Youkai: I have something I want you guys to do for me. Fake!Hakkai: It can’t be, a youkai. Youkai: Kukuku, you parasites. Ha! Fake!Sanzo: Guh.

~~~

Hakkai: Hm? This is! Sanzo: Looks like another assassin’s appeared. Guard: It’s a monster! Fake!Sanzo: Keeheehee. Gojyo: What’s up with these guys? Sanzo: It’s too hard to fight in here. Let’s take this outside.

Pash Sept 2017 article: Saiyuki Reload Blast anime

Many thanks to @flowermiko for providing the scans! Sorry it took me so long to get to it　 m（ー＿ー）m

Soto Note: text in (parenthesis) are part of the article. Text in [square brackets] are notes from me.

The ones holding the fate of the world are men with a dangerous connection!?

We corner the producer about his aim in the episodes taking place 500 years ago that delve deep into the relationships between the Sanzo Ikkou and Goku’s past. Additionally, we also talk with the character designer who brought to life these high-quality images!

Saiyuki Reload Blast

Data ON AIR: AT-X = every Wednesday night 10:30-; Tokyo MX = every Thursday at midnight; Sun TV = every Friday night 11:30-; BS11 = every Sunday late night 1:30-; TV Aichi = every Monday late night 3:05- HP: http://www.saiyuki-rb.jp/ TWITTER: @saiyuki_rb © Minekura Kazuya・Ichijinsha / Saiyuki RB Project STAFF: Original work - Minekura Kazuya (serialized in Ichijinsha “Gekkan Comic ZERO-SUM”); Director - Nakano Hideaki; Series Composition - Konuta Kenji; Character Design - Satou Youko; Sub Character Design - Kobayashi Toshimitsu; General Animation Directors - Kobayashi Toshimitsu, Satou Youko; Prop Design - Sugimura Tomokazu; Action Animation Director - Saiki Yasuhiro; Art Director - Mayuzumi Masaki; Color Setting - Yamagami Aiko; Director of Photography - Asakawa Shigeki; Editing - Kimura Kashiko; Music - Katou Tatsuya; Music Producer - Kawashima Mai; Music Production - Lantis; Sound Production - Jinnan Studio; Sound Director - Takakuwa Hajime; Opening Artist - GRANRODEO; Ending Artist - Luck Life; Animation Production - Platinum Vision CAST: Genjo Sanzo / Konzen Douji - Seki Toshihiko; Son Goku / Goku - Hoshi Souichirou; Sha Gojyo / General Kenren - Hirata Hiroaki; Cho Hakkai / Field Marshal Tenpou - Ishida Akira; Kougaiji - Kusao Takeshi; Dokugakuji - Yamanoi Jin; Kanzeon Bosatsu - Igarashi Rei; Prince Nataku - Kouda Kaho; Taruchie - Saito Chiwa; Saitaisai - Suwabe Junichi, etc.

What connects these men who can’t turn back? The Sanzo Ikkou swear at one another while brandishing a gun and rounding up youkai. The stage suddenly turns from their story drawn in the early episodes to 500 years ago. Sanzo and Goku, Gojyo and Hakkai are tightly bound by a chain that, while at first glance seems like nothing, is actually so strong no one else can get through. The reason for that seems to lie in an incident that occurred in Heaven 500 years ago. Precisely because the lives they risked for others were stolen from them, they are now determined to live their lives for themselves. However, there is one more person they are connected to. The War Prince, Prince Nataku. How is he, vanished from Heaven, connected to the Sanzo Ikkou?

Original picture: Itou Mina Direction: Kobayashi Toshimitsu Color Setting/Check: Yamagami Aiko Coloring: T.D.I. Special: Asakawa Shigeki

Goku and Sanzo

In the early stages of this work, Goku and Sanzo haven’t had many scenes together. Maybe this paradoxically displays their connection...? Because for Konzen, somehow bored to death with his peaceful days in Heaven, 500 years ago, his meeting with the “gold-eyed creature” Goku was the catalyst that upended his life.

[over young Goku] Konzen, gimme a name!

[caption: young Goku, current Goku] Comparing Goku’s expressions from now and when he was in Heaven, both are child-like but 500 years ago he was more infant-like and uneasy.

Here’s a highlight! Comment by the producer It was decided that I’d be handling the latest “Saiyuki” work, which has long enjoyed popularity, and the pressure is immense (pained smile). It has continued serialization for over 20 years, and I’ve been reading it since my school days too, after all. That’s why I’ve dealt this project thinking about how the make the fans think that “Saiyuki” and the “Sanzo Ikkou” have returned. In Saiyuki Reload Blast, the Sanzo Ikkou has travelled quite a ways from Chang’an, seen different cultures, and overcome various obstacles. That’s why I wanted to show a slightly calmed-down Sanzo and Goku, Gojyo and Hakkai. (Frontier Works Producer: Shiraishi Youko)

[under Konzen] Can you remain that little one’s sun?

[caption: Sanzo] Konzen becomes conscious of his own emotions when he meets the young Goku. Is this painful experience the reason that the current Sanzo respects their personalities so refreshingly it borders on violence?

Nataku and Goku 

Nataku has been used by his father’s ambition as the ��War Prince”, valued only in battle. For him, Goku is his one and only friend. For Goku too, worried about his own existence, Nataku’s words are salvation, but the adults’ situation tears them apart.

[over cherry tree] My name’s Goku. Nice t’ meetcha.

[caption: cherry tree] If only they could play like this someday. Goku’s simple wish is crushed by the adults’ expectations.

[caption: Nataku torso] Nataku activates his power as war prince. On his own he has overwhelming power equalling an entire army, but...

Here’s a highlight! Comment by the producer As someone who’s worked on this, I have an emotional attachment to Konzen. He was raised in a hot house environment, wanting for nothing, but then he meets Goku and begins to mature by living with him. The scene where he thinks he won’t let anything happen to Goku, despite Konzen’s being a man with no power aside from his authority and position, hits me hard. The Gaiden episodes were presented in the OVA series, but that anime focussed on how Konzen, Kenren, and Tenpou died, and on the events leading to Goku’s exile in the Lower World. In this anime, the first half of “Saiyuki Gaiden” makes a point of showing how Goku met Konzen, Kenren, and Tenpou, and of course Nataku. I can’t go into detail because it will spoil later developments, but I hope you’ll understand why we included the Gaiden episodes in this anime if you watch until the end!

[caption: Goku crying, Nataku bleeding] Torn between the loyalty to his father that had been implanted in him and his friendship with Goku, Nataku turns his blade on himself. Goku, shocked by witnessing his friend’s death, breaks his diadem and begins to rampage.

Here’s a highlight! Comment by the producer Compared to before, the “Sanzo Ikkou” in this anime have changed yet remained the same. What’s changed is their position of “We aren’t heroes of justice”. This is something I’ve inherited from the previous person in charge, but apparently the original creator Minekura Kazuya Sensei said so during production of the anime’s first episode. For example, even if they’re told unilaterally to help, I think they won’t. But, like with Tamuro in episode 1, if they see intent and faith in the side to be helped, they’ll at least lend a hand. I’m always keeping this in mind.

Gojyo and Hakkai

Gojyo lives according to his animal instincts and Hakkai wordlessly backs him up even while tossing him sharp comments. In a sense, their perfectly synchronized relationship is reminiscent of the trusting relationship between Kenren and Tenpou, 500 years ago in Heaven.

[caption: Gojyo] Gojyo appears to do only as he pleases, but in actuality cares about his companions. Maybe the promise from 500 years ago lives on deep within his heart...

Here’s a highlight! Comment by the producer This is a highlight that comes up after this, but new characters like the last Sanzo Priest appear. She doesn’t feel much like a priest, just like Genjo Sanzo, but during scenes when the two of them talk they act just like “highest ranking monks”. And, the Sanzo Ikkou’s rivals show up. I hope you watch to the end.

[caption: Hakkai] At first glance, Hakkai smiles guilelessly. But behind that smile is a man who can see several moves ahead and acts accordingly.

[caption: Kenren & Goku] Straight-forward Kenren, who claimed Goku as his illegitimate son, is a good big brother figure. The age difference is refreshing!

[caption: Gojyo & Hakkai, Tenpou & Kenren] Gojyo and Hakkai, Kenren and Tenpou show just about the same sense of distance now as 500 years ago. You can feel the common roots in their love of tobacco and drink.

[under Tenpou & Kenren] This’s called a pinky promise. It seals the deal.

Cornered the artist! Special comment from the character designer Satou Youko

--- How did you feel when it was decided you’d be taking part in “Saiyuki”, which has received passionate fan support for 20 years? I wondered if I was good enough (laughs).

--- What impression did you have of the original “Saiyuki” series when you read it? I was very surprised by the drawings, which were more detailed and cleaner than I’d imagined.

--- “Saiyuki” has been adapted for anime many times before. What parts did you focus on in designing the characters for this adaptation? I was careful to create solid images even with thin lines, and keep them from becoming like today’s thin and bendy line drawings.

--- Were there points you paid attention to when translating the original manga characters into anime? All the characters have distinctive details in their hair, so I took special care there. I was especially careful with Sanzo’s sideburns, Goku’s expressions, Gojyo’s head volume, Hakkai’s eyes, and the like.

--- Konzen, Kenren, and Tenpou, who closely resemble Sanzo, Gojyo, and Hakkai, appear in this anime. Were you conscious of how to draw their differences? I designed the characters so you wouldn’t forget that they’re all different people; I thought about how their personalities lead to different expressions.

--- Similarly, for the young Goku from 500 years ago and the current Goku, were you thinking of how to show the difference in his expressions? I concentrated on making Goku from 500 years ago have a cheerful, innocent child’s face. Conversely, while the current Goku appears younger than the other three, he does bear several life experiences not shown in the manga. That’s why I tried to give him an expression that was more than just a child’s, and couldn’t be called purely innocent.

--- What did you enjoy drawing, and what was difficult to draw? I think those are both covered by the sheer amount of lines (laughs).

--- How did you feel when the main voice cast from the previous 20 years of “Saiyuki” was announced for this picture? I was delighted. It was like, “Aah, it’s become ‘Saiyuki’!”

--- Please give us a highlight from the “Saiyuki Reload Blast” to come. We’ve made an effort to reproduce the original work as closely as possible. After the 7th episode, familiar(?) and nostalgic characters will show up, so stay tuned!

Saiyuki Reload Blast Anthology: Saiyuki OVERNIGHT + extras

Thank you @seiten-taisei for sharing this, and a bunch of drama CDs! Go here to check out what she's shared. Go here for links to my translations of the other stories in this anthology.

P121 Sanzo: “Free.” Goku: (thinking) You reached out and taught me. You made me realize

P122 Goku: (thinking) that I didn’t have anything or anyone. Loneliness, hunger, and how to ease them

P123 Goku: (thinking) You taught me all of that. That’s the freedom you gave me. Goku: ...... Heh. Hehehe. I don’t believe it. Heheh. I’m full. sfx: Panda whines Baby Panda: You’re full now? Goku: Hehe... Did you know? I don’t get hungry if I’m alone. Thanks. sfx: pick pick

P124 Goku: I’m gonna take these back and eat ‘em in front of Gojyo. Guess I can give some to Hakkai. Sanzo: “Everyone, no matter who they are, lives to ease their hunger and thirst. But, that’s not limited to the hunger of the body. It’s the hunger of the soul, too.”

P125 Baby Panda: Mother, humans (youkai?) get hungry in their “soul” too. Mama Panda: Well, I don’t really understand. Goku: I’m back ♡ Gojyo: Oh!? Whaddya bring back? Goku: I’m not giving any to you!! Hakkai: Welcome back. We were worried, Goku. Sanzo was waiting too. Sanzo: What are you talking about? Goku: Huh? Hakkai: Well, the manju was. sfx: hop END

P126 Saiyuki Reload Blast Anthology

P127 Saiyuki Reload Blast Anthology Author Comments

AU Congratulations on the Saiyuki Reload Blast anime and sale of the anthology. Thank you very much for the opportunity to work with such a wonderful creation. I look forward to seeing what lies ahead for the Sanzo Ikkou.

Akanatsu Congratulations on publication of the Saiyuki Reload Blast Anthology! I was able to draw for the Saiyuki Gaiden Anthology too, so I’d be happy if you read that as well!

Usatoru I am so grateful I was able to participate in this! I had a lot of fun drawing. I wasn’t able to put him in this time, but my favorite is Hazel.

Ueda Shinsyu Congratulations on 20 years of Saiyuki! I’m very happy to have been able to participate in the Anthology at this memorable point in time. Goku is becoming more and more manly, and I look forward to seeing how he continues to grow and where the story goes from here.

Katagiri Ikumi Before I knew it, the mini Goku-chan story I had planned to draw transformed into a Gojyo manga. Congratulations on the new new new Saiyuki anime!

Endou Minari This is Endou who was supposed to be a Sanzo fan, but recently Goku’s smile has seeped into my heart. I wonder if this is what it means to get old... My favorite character is Sharak Sanzo, and I love everything about her so much. Also, I reread all the books to prep for this anthology, and I think Hakkai and Kanan are just too cute! Huh? This isn’t the place to talk about that? Character limit? So heartless. It’s too bad there are so many fascinating characters and I don’t have space to write about them all. I’m looking forward to what’s going to happen in Saiyuki, now that it’s entered the final stage and is getting more and more exciting.

P128 Kogami Nana Thank you very much for inviting me to participate in this. Congratulations on the anime! I really love how Kougaiji interacts with Lirin-chan. I love Lirin-chan’s personality, her muscular yet flexible legs, and her voluptuous chest.

Kouga Yun I’ve had a long relationship with the Sanzo gang. I’ll always love them. I plan to continue stalking Sanzo and watching over him for years to come. I pray for Minekura Sensei’s health above all!

Tachibana Congratulations on 20 years of the Saiyuki series!! The difficulty increases 1.5 times when the hotness (and nakedness) goes up! I got to have fun and draw my beloved Gojyo getting defiant!

Suzumoto Jun Thank you so much for letting me participate in this Saiyuki Anthology! I’m from the generic generation so this is a huge honor. I was happy I got to draw Kougaiji because I like him. It was fun having lots of characters appear!

naked ape Congratulations on 20 years of the Saiyuki series and the Saiyuki Reload Blast anime! I got to draw an image that contrasts with the Gaiden anthology, and exclaim over the coolness of the Sanzo Ikkou. Thank you very much for this opportunity!

D・Kissan Congratulations on 20 years of the Saiyuki series! I started thinking of a plot that would let me draw a lot of the cool Sharak Sanzo-sama, but it ended up being a manga all about silly Hassan-san. I’m so sorry...

Mikawa Verno I wanted to draw an amusing, slap-stick...-y tale about the Ikkou that wouldn’t usually be drawn, but whaaaat!?

Saiyuki Reload Blast Anthology: Saiyu FES! 2017

Thanks to @seiten-taisei for sharing! See the other things she's shared, including this anthology, here. See this entry for links to my translations of the other stories in this collection from the table of contents.

The Sanzo Ikkou form a band! Their instruments are... interesting.

P98 Goku: Wow! Gojyo: This town’s really lively. Goku: Looks like a festival! Saiyu FES! 2017 Akanatsu Banner: Celebrate! Music Festival Hakkai: Actually, they seem to be about to start a festival. Every year this town hosts a large-scale music festival, and they offer free food and lodgings to the participating famous musicians... Goku: I’m hungry!!

P99 Sanzo: Now that we’ve happily eaten our fill, listen up jerks. sfx: inhale Sanzo: I’ve dropped the card. The after meal cigarette is so good. Gojyo: Again, you senile old monk!? Sanzo: Shut up. You can hit the Buddha in the face 3 times before it counts*. A card or two is nothing to cry over. Hakkai: It’s the Sanbutsushin’s card, so maybe they’ll reissue it up to 9 times, 3 for each face. Goku: And I was just about to order seconds! Narrations: Yaone-chan at that moment Yaone: I picked it up again... Arrow: Gold card

*Hit the Buddha 3 times: The actual idiom is “stroke the buddha’s face 3 times and he will get mad” [仏の顔も三度撫でづれば腹立つる], meaning you can only go so far before even the most laid-back person gets upset.

P100 Owner: Excuse me, sirs, about the bill... Name tag: Store Owner Hakkai: ...Actually, we sfx: gulp Hakkai: are a band, come to perform in the music festival. Arrow: Attention Poster: Wow!! Artists performing in the music festival eat and drink for FREE!! Participating store in the Special Treatment Campaign Fast food restaurant Sumomo Owner: Ah! Then we’ll gladly comp all your food and drink fees... What sort of performance are you doing? From your appearance I’d guess soft visual-kei?

P101 Sanzo: Yeah. Gojyo: We’re kinda a huge super major famous rock band. sfx: bam Hakkai: (thinking) That’s kind of unexpected language coming from the owner of a Chinese restaurant... What kind of world is this... Narration: Excuse me. Goku: ? Owner: I see! What kind of instruments... I’m assuming vocals, guitar, bass, drums, and the like? And what group name... Clipboard: Form -- Musician Checklist Narration: Let me explain! The town offers free special treatment to the visiting famous musicians for PR purposes, but there is a check to prevent scams!! Goku: Yeah! We’ve got that vocalguitarbass... sfx: muffle Box: low voice Hakkai: Goku. We should say what sort of instruments we can actually play. And please make up your member name. Gojyo: (quietly)What!? Instruments!? sfx: whisper whisper Hakkai: (quietly) There must be something. Owner: Sirs?

P102 Sanzo: ...I have a good reputation for mantra chanting. I can spout something off. sfx: Bang Box: Sutra Recitation Vocals: SAN Gojyo: ...I can wring out the most beautiful cries from a woman’s body. Hakkai: Recorder. sfx: Bam Gojyo: Hey Hakkai, don’t fuck with me. Box: Recorder: Jyo Goku: Ah, I’m good at that thing they have at karaoke!! sfx: Bam Sanzo: Don’t mess up the world view any more than that. Box: Castanets: Kuu Hakkai: I can play the gamelan a bit. Gojyo: Why such a crazy thing? sfx: bang Hakkai: I thought about teaching it to the kids at the prep school. Box: Gamelan: Kai Owner: O...kay. That’s quite a strange... I mean unique band.

P103 All: Breaking existing concepts is what rock is all about!! Owner: So -- so cool!!! sfx: shiver Narration: They passed the shop owner’s check! Boxes: Mic; castanets; plus den den daiko; recorder; gamelan Narration: Gamelan is the generic term for the percussion instruments used in Indonesia’s ensemble ethnic music. Here we have prepared the representative Ugal. Gojyo: ...I’m glad they offered us a room too, but now we’ve been entered in the music festival. And they even loaned us the instruments. Hakkai: It seems to be consideration for the musicians who are traveling across the desert. It’s difficult to haul instruments, after all. Goku: SAN, you gonna read a sutra on stage? sfx: bom bom Sanzo: What’s with these member names? Gojyo: It’s better than the Hayabusa brothers, right?

P104 Gojyo: Anyway, we gotta pretend to be a band in order to avoid the headline “Sanzo Ikkou Dines and Dashes”. Hakkai: Thank goodness we were wearing our capes to protect against the sand. Gojyo: I wanna break the recorder. Sanzo: Suck it up, Jyo. It’s faster to get through this music festival than to search the desert for the card. Hakkai: We must practice!! Goku: Yeah!! Box: The neighbors Neighbor 1: What is this hellish sound!? Neighbor 2: Death metal!? Narration: The Sanzo Ikkou frantically continued to practice... Finally, the day of the music festival. MC: Um, next we have entry number 8. Banner: 30th Music Festival MC: (※band name) Sun=Zoo!!! sfx: crowd cheering

P105 Youkai: Sanzo Ikkou!! sfx: crowd cheering Youkai: Prepare yourselves! Narration: As expected, youkai attacked. In putting them down, the stage was destroyed and the curtain closed on the music festival. sfx: wind whistling Banner: Music Sanzo: ...What the hell was up with that intensive training... sfx: rumble Gojyo: Well, that sure was a tough town. Goku: “Even if it’s destroyed, building it anew is what rock is all about!!” they said. Hakkai: They even packed us a bento.

P106 Narration: I digress, but it’s said that the fighting figures of the Sanzo Ikkou as they smashed instruments... drove the audience into a frenzy as they shouted “This is true rock” and a legend was born... BG: Sun=Zoo!! Sun=Zoo!! Sun=Zoo!! Hakkai: Well, shall we eat the bento here before it goes bad? Goku: I’m hungry!! I wanted to hear Sanzo singing. sfx: lick

P107 Goku: You were seriously practicing. I want a regular song, not a mantra. Sanzo: Hmph. sfx: step sfx: mumble Goku: !! I don’t have castanets or a den den daiko, so

P108 Goku: I’ll dance!! sfx: tadah Hakkai: Well, he does have a very good voice. Gojyo: And the athleticism of a monkey. Hakkai: All in all, it was fun, wasn’t it Jyo. Gojyo: I’m gonna shove the recorder up your ass, Kai. sfx: flutter Hakkai: Here Jeep.

P109 Hakkai: This sort of festival is nice once in a while. Narration: Someday this too will be a precious memory. END

Saiyuki Reload Blast Anthology: Sound of Rain's Idle Chat

@seiten-taisei is the awesome person who shared this anthology. Check out her post here to see other stuff she's shared, including this book. Links to my translations of the other stories in this collection are here; scroll to the table of contents.

Hakkai and Sanzo have a chat on a rainy morning.

P90 sfx: pouring rain sfx: door opening Hakkai: Oh my. It’s been raining since last night. The roads are horribly muddy, and driving will be difficult. Sound of Rain’s Idle Chat AU Hakkai: It’s rare we have such a relaxed morning. Sanzo: If you guys would quit complaining I’d rather deal with the bad roads. Hakkai: ......Oh?

P91 Hakkai: ...... Oh, no, I was talking to myself. sfx: anger Sanzo: You spoke to me on purpose. Hakkai: Sorry, I’m a little bored... The other two show no signs of waking, so I went out first. I was restless. Anyway, we can’t set out until the rain lets up.

P92 Hakkai: That aside, would you like some coffee? Sanzo: ... Hmph. sfx: pouring rain sfx: flip

P93 Hakkai: Is that interesting? Sanzo: It’s not even good for killing time. Pass me my lighter. ... The owner must have been really enthusiastic about learning. Hakkai: Ahh, the girl at the inn said something about that. The owner was a famous researcher, and the villagers relied on him a lot before he went missing. By the way, you’re intelligent so shouldn’t this be more worthwhile than reading the newspaper? BG: 0 bad intentions Sanzo: ...You’re a really sarcastic idiot... Well, it’s fine. sfx: close Sanzo: Research, studies, it’s all pointless. There aren’t many roads left open to a person who’s made a name for himself. It’s not something particularly deserving of attention.

P94 Hakkai: I suppose... The average person covets the honor of acquiring fame, status, and wealth... ...Ahh, I see. Once you’ve shouldered the trust of the people, you lose your freedom. Sanzo: It’s not like people won’t cling to the next thing as soon as you run away. The road hasn’t been taken away; those guys just lose sight of their alternatives. Hakkai: ...... sfx: sip Hakkai: That reminds me, what about Goku? Sanzo: Huh? Hakkai: I mean, Goku’s been with you ever since you saved him.

P95 Hakkai: I’m just wondering what, if any, alternatives are available to him. Sanzo: You trying to trick me? That’s idiotic. I told him from the very beginning to do what he wanted. In the first place there’s no reason for me to teach you guys about your purpose in life. Time’s too precious for that. Hakkai: ...... Of course. I’m here because I want to be, after all. sfx: pssssh Hakkai: All of us are. Sanzo: ...Living up to expectations? You’re the one who likes such clearly visible trust. sfx: BAM Gojyo: Daaaaaah!!!!!!

P96 Gojyo: You kicked me in the face, you crappy sleeping monkey!! Goku: Shut up. You’re the one who put his feet in my bed. Weren’t you ever trained to sleep in your own hut!? Get in your crate! sfx: bam Gojyo: Sorry my legs’re long! Goku: That again, shitty kappa! sfx: boom Gojyo: Ow! Don’t pull! What’re you gonna do if it stretches!? sfx: slap Goku: You’re growin’ your hair out, what’s the problem if your clothes grow too!? sfx: toss sfx: slap Gojyo/Goku: Ah? Sanzo: ...... You bastards.

P97 Sanzo: Do you want to be bludgeoned to death? Gojyo: He wants to club us to death. Goku: Let’s get food. Sanzo: Get back here!! Hakkai: Oh, it’s cleared up. Please be ready in 10 minutes. You two overslept, so no breakfast for you. Goku: No way! Narration (Hakkai?): You looked up to your master and succeeded him, and now you live for yourself. For you, it may be wholly unrelated to having alternatives. Hakkai: At the very least, I’ve come to think it’s nice spending time like this with everyone, Sanzo. END

Yaone: Kougaiji-sama, at times like these we should use Plan A. Kougaiji: Yeah, I know. Hakkai: They’re planning something. Be careful, Goku! Goku: Got it!! sfx: breathe in

P87 sfx: Ba-ba-boom!! Kougaiji: This is today’s menu!! sfx: slip Kougaiji: Meat and tofu in ankake sauce; fried shumai; crab sauce gratin; crab fried rice; Gojyo: It’s like a sutra. Kougaiji: Eggplant stuffed with coriander and meat; spinach and walnut salad; cabbage rolls in cream sauce; Chinese soup with lots of vegetables; pumpkin pudding; sweet almond float with whipped cream...

P88 Kougaiji: And... the juicy meat buns and golden xiaolongbao that you said you wanted to eat before. Let’s eat them all together. Let’s go home, Lirin. Lirin: Yeah. Sorry onii-chan... Yaone: I’m sorry about today.

P89 Hakkai: Ah, thank you very much. Gojyo: Right, shall we start drinking again? Lirin: Sanzo! Let’s play again! Sanzo: Who’s gonna play with you, brat. I’m not the one you wanted to play with. Kougaiji: ?? Lirin: Busted? Sanzo: Busted. END

Many thanks to @seiten-taisei for sharing the raws! Check out all the stuff she's sharing here, including this anthology. Links to my translations of the other stories in this collection are in the table of contents in this entry.

This story features an adorable tiny Sanzo!

P72 Priest Sanzo Ueda Shinsyu Sign: Sanzo for sale. Please take care of him. Goku: Cute... Such clear droopy eyes. Narration: Goku decided to take Sanzo home and raise him.

P73 Woman: If you want to raise this creature, there are three things you need to be aware of. Box: First, do not let him gamble. Second, do not let him drink. Third is most important; do not let him smoke. Goku: ‘S that all? That’s easy! I just gotta raise him properly. Thanks granny! Woman: Something horrible will happen if you don’t obey those rules. Do not break them...

P74 Narration: Goku took Sanzo home and raised him carefully, making food for him when he was hungry, preparing a warm bed for him when he looked sleepy... sfx: snore sfx: Ahahahaha Narration: However, Goku had a bad friend. Gojyo: Yo.

P75 Gojyo: Huh, so this’s Goku’s precious Sanzo. sfx: stare... Gojyo: Hm? You wanna drink? sfx: clink Gojyo: You look bored. Shall I play with you? sfx: shuffle Gojyo: Wanna taste? Here.

Saiyuki Reload Blast Anthology: Summer Vacation

Another in the anthology shared by @seiten-taisei. See her post here where she shares a bunch of Saiyuki stuff, including the raws. Check out the table of contents in this entry for my translations of the other stories in the anthology.

Gojyo drags the gang to a pool for a break. Hakkai is ridiculously prepared.

P62 Sanzo: You said there was somewhere you absolutely had to go, so we came... to a pool... ......Stupid. Tsk. Gojyo: (whistles) Whatta view! I heard this town had the number one leisure facility, so of course we gotta check it out. Summer Vacation Tachibana Goku: Hey Sanzo, aren’t you hot in that? Gojyo: Yeah, Buddhist robes at a pool are such a turn off. Sanzo: You wanna drown in that chlorinated water, you bastard? sfx: grab Gojyo: Ahhn, sorry.

P63 Hakkai: Well, I thought this might happen... sfx: bam Hakkai: So I prepared a swimsuit for Sanzo too. But for some reason he’s dead set against it... Gojyo: I’d be dead set against those shorts too. No way no how. Hakkai: This was all that was available. Goku: ...Actually, Hakkai, your clothes look super hot! Gojyo: You look like a mom accompanying her kids who doesn’t wanna get in the pool or get burnt. Hakkai: Ultraviolet rays are bad for the skin. Gojyo: You’re the conscientious type, huh. Hakkai: I don’t want to get unnecessarily burnt. I’ll enjoy the summer in my own way.

P64 Gojyo: You’re no fun. So boring. Let’s go, Goku. Goku: Awright!! Let’s go let’s go! Gojyo: Hey sweetheart! Wanna ride with me? Goku: See you later! sfx: wave; pompf Sanzo: ......

P65 Hakkai: There’s no smoking here. Sanzo: Tsk. sfx: pompf Sanzo: (thinking) ...So bored. Goku: Heeey! Sanzooooo!! Gojyo: Whoo! This’s the best vacation! Goku: Yoo hoo! Gojyo: Quit sulkin’ over there and c’mere. Box: ※ Wave pool Gojyo: Right now we’ve got a pretty lady with us. Girl: Ahahaha, stop it, Gojyo-san. Goku: Yayy! Sanzoo! sfx: water flowing

P66 BG: Paying no mind Hakkai: Ahh, they look like they’re having fun. Sanzo: ..... sfx: nod off Goku: HEEEEYY SANZOOO sfx: jump Goku: The Inugami Family*

*The Inugami Family [犬神家の一族]: a murder mystery novel by Yokomizo Seishi; movie version directed by Ichikawa Kon. Here's the cover of the 1976 movie that shows what Gojyo's parodying.

P67 sfx: water flowing Goku: Hey Gojyo! Sanzo’s not laughing!! How was this a sure thing!? Hakkai: Now now, now now, calm down. Sanzo: Don’t stop me, Hakkai. sfx: bam Sanzo: I’ll kill him. Hakkai: You’ll be arrested. Here, have this. This is the best thing for a hot day. Sanzo: ...... You’re awfully prepared.

P68 Hakkai: I’ve got ice cream too: Papiko, Gari Gari kun, and Yukimi Daifuku. I also have soda and potato chips. Please help yourself. There’s also a variety of magazines Magazines: REX, Yuri hime, Zero-Sum Sanzo: You’re happy. Hakkai: Well of course. We came all this way; we might as well enjoy ourselves. Sanzo: Damn. You’re all too excited. Hakkai: Don’t say that. ...You should enjoy yourself with us sometimes too. Sanzo: ...... With you...

P69 Goku: Ahahahahahaha!! sfx: whistle blowing; stomp stomp stomp Sanzo: Don’t run. sfx: slap! Goku: Ha. Gojyo: Hahaaa! This’s a great wave! Whoo! sfx: whistle blowing sfx: Bang Gojyo: Kyaa!

P70 Gojyo: Sanzo... Oil me up. BG: Makai Tenjyo

P71 Sanzo: ...... Nope. sfx: pssssssh Hakkai: I agree. Sanzo: ...I’ll find some excuse or other. Hakkai: Oh my, what are you saying? Narration: 4 hours later Goku: I’m hungry. Gojyo: Mama I’m cold. Do something. sfx: shiver shiver, chatter chatter Hakkai: Yes, yes. I’ve got onigiri and hand warmers. Sanzo: (thinking) Is that a 4th dimensional pocket*...? END

*4th dimensional pocket: reference to Doraemon. He’s got a pocket like Mary Poppins’s carpet bag; you can pull anything out of it.
