Maybe you should smoke where people can't see you.
But the fall sky is so pretty.
"Kouryuu of the river's flow," isn't it?
What an unromantic name.
Well, I won't tell you to try and make friends with those "priests."
I'm not worried about that. I'm used to it.
And my name...
I don't really hate it.
I wonder about you, Master.
Buddhism emphasizes mercy and non-killing.
You picked up a parentless child like me
and keep my by your side.
I heard your voice.
You called to me.
I guess it was my mission.
You were persistent, you know.
I was rather annoyed.
So I simply took you with me.
I don't understand a thing you just said.
Maybe you'll hear it someday, too.
A voice, I mean.
If someone did that to me
I'd find him, no matter what.
And then I'd tell him to shut it and shoot him in the head.
I hear a voice
Tomedanai ame ate donai tabi
endless rain, aimless travel
Itsuka tokieru sonna hi ni
In order to approach the final day
Tomamarazu harashitte kizutsuita ashi wo
Scarred on two feet, cannot stop running
Kimi wa orokato warau kana
Laugh at your own foolishness
Cannot shake off the darkness that spies in the shadows
Yuruganai yami fukai basho iirandesa
Tobacco no hidane mejirushi ni youkouka
Even if we follow the light of the cigarette
Tsuki ga miteitai boku no late-show
The moon is watching, this is my late-show
Give me your hand, hurry late-show
Kimi no te wo totte hashiru late-show
Yoru no shijima ni hibiku no late-show
Tranquil sounds that echoes at night, late-show
Tada asa wo matte, tsumugu late-show
Waiting for morning, anticipating late-show
What the hell is it with this mountain!?
"You're climbing Mt. Gogyou?"
"I wouldn't if I were you."
Even if you go by the side gate, it's a thing better not to be done.
Even if you want to get there, it's difficult.
Besides, there's been a legend surrounding it for as long as I can remember.
A legend?
Yeah.
They say a monster was banished from the heavens and sealed there 500 years ago.
Even the locals don't go near that awful place.
A monster? Living 500 years?
Gimme a break.
Whatever. I'm only here for one thing.
Find whoever the hell owns that voice and kill his sorry ass.
Hey.
You the one who has been calling me?
It's annoying.
Cut it out.
I haven't been calling anyone.
Who are you?
That "monster"
stared at me like he had half a brain.
Son Goku's chapter
Hey.
How long are you gonna follow me dammit?!
Why are ya mad?
Listen now.
I let you out of that place, so you don't need me anymore.
Just scram all right? Go anywhere but here!
Um, thanks for helping me out.
But I dunno this place.
I dunno where to go.
What?
All I can remember is bein' in there.
It's been a real long time.
You...
Wait a minute.
Don't tell me you were actually imprisoned there for 500 years?
500 years?
How long is that?
Nevermind.
But I still remember my name!
See, I'm Go-
Look!
I couldn't care less who you are.
Just get lost, otherwise.
Don't make me kick the shit out of you, shorty.
Wha-
Don't talk to me like that! Now I'm super mad!
Ya dumb droopy eyes! Stupid-head!
Those are some stones you've got there.
Shitty monkey runt!
No fair! Ya hit me really hard!
Shut up or it's back to the cage with you!
But you're the one that let me out!
I didn't have a choice, dimwit! You wouldn't shut the hell up!
I already told ya, I wasn't callin' any-
A kid and a priest?
Talk about a weird find.
And in such an isolated place. Lucky for us.
Now you're gonna get robbed of everything you've got!
Huh? Those bad guys?
Get lost, tiny.
You'll just get in the way here.
Get going, now.
Wait, you're gonna fight us?
You're pretty feisty for a priest.
Keep right on talking, scum!
Dumbass!
Wha-
You little shitty brat!
Wh-who is this kid!?
He's some kind of monster!
Serves ya right.
They called him a monster?
He can't actually be-
Hey!
You hurt?
Unbelievable.
I'm hungry.
Pretty weird, huh?
To be happy because my stomach is growling.
I was very, very lonely.
I didn't get hungry when I was in the cage.
What?
Before
I know I said I wasn't callin' anyone.
But I guess, I sort of was.
I was so very, very lonely.
But...
Before I could call out
I realized I didn't have a name to call.
So...
I called out for "someone".
I was callin' in my heart.
And then you came.
Hey.
Can ya tell me your name?
Next time, I'll make sure to call it out loud.
I'm the thirty-first of China. Genjyo Sanzo.
"Elephant"?
"zo" means "Elephant" in Japanese.
"The thirty-first of China, Genjyo Sanzo!"
Okay, how 'bout "Sanzo"?
Do what you want.
Saaaanzoooo!
Hey! Sanzo! Guess what!
What?
You are Saaanzo!
Shut up!
Sanzo, I'm hungry!
Then eat the grass, monkey!
I'm not a monkey!
My name is-
You're going to be staying with me for a while.
It's not as if I have any choice.
Um, Priest Sanzo?
May I have a moment?
What is it?
Things have been going missing from the temple these past few days.
"Things"?
Yes. Mostly food.
From the storehouse and well, even persimmons from the garden are disappearing.
Maybe you have a big rat.
It doesn't seem that way. The culprit is more likely human, or possibly...
A monkey found his way in.
Hey!
Oh! It's just Sanzo! Ya scared me!
Hey, wanna try some?
They're from the tree out back, they're pretty good.
So it was you.
You feeble minded murder worthy primate!
Why are you hitting me!?
Shut your mouth!
I told you not to leave this room!
But...
I get hungry.
I already bring you three meals a day, you black hole.
Now that you mention it...
How long do I have to keep hidin'?
Deal with it.
If word of you got out at this point, a socially significant temple like this would be in an uproar.
We'll meet with the three aspects soon to decide where to put you.
If we can find an orphanage or a foster parent, you won't have to stay in a place like this.
Um, Sanzo?
What?
If it's about food, I'll bring you more if you swear to stay put.
Hey.
You the one who's been calling me?
I was alone in that place for as long as I can remember.
I tried to touch or call to the light outside.
But my hands could never reach.
Neither could my voice.
I thought that, maybe, that was just how it was.
And then...
That's why. You know, Sanzo?
That's why I was so super crazy happy.
It's already been five days since I brought that runt to the temple.
The abandoned shed can't hide him forever.
I have to get moving on this.
Hey, Monkey!
I'm going to see the three aspects.
You'd better come and-
Fat and round like a dumpling.
Nevermind.
I guess I can leave you for one night.
Sanzo didn't come today.
There's lots of food here.
And a blanket and all.
But..
Sanzo didn't come.
Why didn't he come?
How'd it get this dark so fast?
Is it..
Is it because Sanzo's not here?
Sanzo said he was lookin' for a place for me to go.
Maybe he left me behind?
Maybe I'm alone again..
It's like...
Like when I was in there.
They won't reach.
My hands, my voice...
Even the light...
They won't reach. Sanzo!
What?
There's no mistake?
No.
The boy you brought from Mt. Ggyou is the one of legend.
He is the monster from 500 years ago
who committed a grave crime in the heavens and was sealed away on Earth.
Monster?
He's a tiny, empty-headed, bottomless pit of a child, my lords.
That is not his true form, Genjyo Sanzo.
You have noticed the gold diadem on his forehead.
It is a customized Youkai power limiter that seals even his appearence.
Neither human nor Youkai, but less than a god, he is an unique existence born from the earth.
Made into legend, sung as a symbol of chaos.
His soul is gifted with divine-level power.
His name is:
The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Son Goku.
Excuse me.
Genjyo Sanzo.
You govern both the holy and infernal sutras.
That boy holds the power of both demons and gods.
We cannot guess the meaning of your encounter.
But if his voice did indeed reach you,
then know that this is your truth.
Who is there?
What are you doing here?!
Who is this filthy child?
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
And how on earth did you get in here?!
No, I didn't-
Sanzo sai-
Remember.
If someone find out, it's my ass.
Hey!
Don't you dare run away!
It was you, wasn't it?
You've been stealing our food!
Hey, what's wrong!?
What's going on in here?
Help us! This disgusting child has been-
Why?
Why... Sanzo...
But I'm callin' you.
I'm callin' you!
No!
What was that noise just now?
Priest Sanzo!
Get away from him!
A monster!
That thing is a monster!
So this
is what his true form looks like?
You stupid ape.
This isn't funny. What is this...
I can feel it from over here.
That ridiculous Chi is on fire.
If I move...
I have no doubt he'll kill me.
I'm not afraid, am I?
Gimme a break!
This stupid brat!
Man.
He is just
a tiny, empty-headed, buttomless pit of a child.
Makai Tenjou!
But..!
Bu-
I thought...!
You were leavin' me behind...!
Again...!
I'm not going anywhere.
Do you hear me?
You can be such an idiot.
I could never leave someone like you alone.
Hey.
Did you just fall asleep?
Wake up, Monkey.
Hey!
"I hear your voice."
"You called to me."
"Maybe you'll hear it someday too."
"A voice, I mean."
What a drag...
I'm sorry!
I'm really, really sorry!
I can't remember what happened yesterday.
It's like I was sleep-walkin' or somethin'!
Let's leave it at that.
Hell.
After spending 500 years in a cage...
You'd think you could behave for one night.
I don't get it either.
Since I met Sanzo...
It's been way more full.
More full than the time I was in there, y'know?
I didn't understand a word of that.
Speak human, Monkey.
"Maybe.."
"A voice, I mean."
"You'll hear it too, someday."
Right.
So he's staying here.
Nice to meetcha!
No way!
