'I Will Only Fight for My Own Sake'
With a slight change of pace from the lightheartedness of the first DVD, these episodes look deep into the histories of the four companions and brings us closer to their inner motivations. It has been easy to forget that is a serious quest. A divine assignment to recover an ancient scripture and prevent the resurrection of Gyumaoh, an evil demon who was barely defeated on his first appearance.
The first pair of episodes brings Genjo Sanzo face to face with a dear friend from his past. But this fellow monk, Shuei, was driven to use a cursed ritual to try to save the monastery from demons. Now he wanders about compulsively killing demons using a new name, Rikuedo, his personality destroyed by the spell. Genjo is forced to confront his own responsibility in this tragedy and put to rest a part of his past he would sooner forget.
In the next three episodes Gyukomen Koushu, the woman seeking to resurrect Gyumsoh, aforce her subordinate, Kougaiji, to attempt to capture the scripture in Genjo's keeping. Nothing in this series turns out quite the way it was planned, and Kougaiji and finds much to admire in the four companions. And vice versa. He isn't isn't evil, just driven by his need to free his mother. Kougaiji has attracted several loyal confederates of his own, including Dokugakuji, Sha Goyo's brother.
Thus, one of the story arcs that lend unexpected depth to this series is the significance of relationships - love, hate, family, friends, and servitors. Even more than I have mentioned. This is unexpected in a series that initially appears to be a tale of four bickering companions on a quest to India. At first you see a monk and three streetfighting demons, only to discover that you are seeing for modern samurai on an interior quest for self-definition. This novel approach, targeted at a wide audience, makes this series more than an entertaining retelling of an old Chinese classic.
Saiyuki
I picked this up by chance and was most impressed. Great characters and a good story. Vulgar charged dialogue so not for the kiddies.
