The difference is just too great...
I will now continue my mission.
You guys...
Not bad.
I think he's doing fairly well...
as our replacement.
Indeed. I'd be disappointed
if he couldn't do at least this much.
But we're also not gonna leave things to you if this is all you've got.
Final Episode "Haiten"
Incoming!
Th-That one was close.
How the hell does store all that power in that tiny little body of his?
He doesn't seem to care hitting his friends, either.
We're lucky he only hit his "friends."
That destructive power is immense.
You just have to make sure you don't get hit.
Yeah, except the not getting hit part is what's hard, you phony monk.
Then think of a way around it with that puny brain of yours, you shitty water sprite!
This is no time to bicker, jeez.
I'd like to come up with a solution, but considering the range of his attacks...
Hassan! Roshu!
Got it!
Roshu!
Over here!
Why you...
Damn it!
Are you all right?
Hurry up and move!
Dodge!
They can still stand?
This is...
Stop it, you!
Makai Tenjo!
It didn't affect him.
Got you!
I'm not letting you get away!
I won't miss at this distance!
Makai Tenjo!
The Makai Tenjo is...
Did we do it?
Easy peasy!
Easy peasy, my ass! You're all beat up.
We can't really tease Goku for that. We've also reached our limits.
Don't lump me in with you guys...
Try saying that when you're not out of breath.
You alive?
That's our line.
I'd like to help you out with your wounds, but sadly I can barely even stand right now.
Don't mind us. We'll be up and about soon.
What about him?
Don't worry.
He's alive.
What the?!
He's still standing after taking Goku's attack head-on?
You will be eliminated.
Goku!
Goku...?
That's great!
I really wanna see that!
You said that I was awesome and that made me really happy.
Then you smiled and said, "See you later!" That made me even happier!
Nataku.
My name...
is Goku.
It's nice to officially meet you.
I was never able to break free...
Will you someday be able to reach
the promised place where the light shines?
Someday...
Target...
You will be eliminated.
Eliminate...
Hey, there aren't enough men at the outer gate. Send some over.
Understood.
Roshu.
Yes, sir?
You don't need to push yourself. Your wounds haven't healed yet.
You have some nerve saying that when your wounds are far worse than mine.
Sharak-sama! Sharak-sama!
What's the matter?
Genjo Sanzo has regained consciousness, so I came to report that to Sharak-sama, but...
Eijin
So you were here again.
What's the matter?
Apparently Genjo Sanzo has regained consciousness.
I see.
Are you sure it's okay for you to be up already?
It's not a big deal.
I mean, the great Sanzo-sama is an old man.
Of course he has a hard time getting around.
How about I make it so you can never move again?
The hell are you doing that as soon as you wake up for, you shitty monk?!
Sadly for you, I always sleep well.
I'm sorry, who always sleeps well?
Not sure how you say that when you're always spacing out.
I see. So you want to die that badly...
Then I'll grant your wish, you cockroach of a water sprite!
Hey! You're gonna hit me!
You'll actually hit me at this range!
I'm aiming at you so I will hit you!
They seem fine.
The hell are you talking about?! We're not fine! Hey!
Yeah.
Feeling better?
I came to ask if you were all right, but apparently I don't need to.
It's all thanks to you for giving us a room so we could rest up.
Thank you very much.
It's the least I could do. It's thanks to you that the casualties in the village were minimal.
Do you have a moment?
Yeah.
The casualties in the village were indeed minimal, but I still don't understand.
What in the world was that?
You mean Prince Nataku?
I heard that he had been ordered
to take your place in stopping the Gyumaou revival experiment...
But why did he show up here, and why did he suddenly stop fighting and disappear?
Who knows? Maybe he just ran out of batteries.
Actually, it did seem like that.
Oh!
Maybe he got hungry and went home.
Not everyone thinks like you, you monkey with a stomach for brains.
Then what was it?
Now, now...
What are you going to do now?
I don't mind if you stay here so you can recuperate more.
We're leaving immediately.
For the west?
Yeah.
I see.
Because of this incident, I'm now fully aware of my own limits.
Even though I can protect people with the power of the Kouten Scripture,
it doesn't mean I can protect everyone.
If I could, I would like to stop the source of all of this myself, but...
I have my own duty that I must see to.
I cannot leave this place.
So I will leave things to you.
We've prepared some supplies you'll need for your upcoming journey.
Thank you very much. They'll be very helpful.
This probably isn't the time to ask...
But would you consider staying here until everything calms down a bit?
We don't know when more demons or guys like Prince Nataku will attack again.
Honestly, it'd be really reassuring to have you guys around.
I'm sure that Sharak would...
I don't know about that.
I don't think that's what she wants.
You're right. That was foolish of me.
Be careful out there.
You, too.
Thank you for everything you've done for us.
Thanks for the yummy food, too!
We're going up these mountain paths again?
We now have plenty of medicine for altitude sickness. We should be fine.
You say that, but...
If it gets so bad you can't even swallow it, I'll force it down your throat, Gojyo.
That'll only make me even more sick.
What's the matter, Sanzo?
You okay? Want some medicine?
No.
Hakkai.
Yes?
We need to make a pit stop.
You're right.
Please stop!
You cannot go any further without permission!
The audience room is only for those who have been summoned by the Sanbutsushin!
You should know this!
Now, now, don't be so stingy.
We're also in a hurry, so if you'll excuse us...
But...
We'll make sure we apologize later!
You mustn't!
No matter your rank as a monk, we must have you abide by the rules!
Move.
Genjo Sanzo, 31st in China.
Due to pressing matters, I request an audience.
Hey! Get the hell out here, you geezers!
What is the meaning of this?
This is the first time that someone from the mortal world has summoned us.
And to have a high-ranking monk threatening other monks...
Who do you think you are?
Oh? But I do believe you were the first ones to take some rather selfish actions.
What?
Yeah. Not to mention we've been canned, so we don't need to follow your so-called rules.
Huh? Did we ever follow them in the first place?
Oh, dear. You just had to bring that up, didn't you, Goku?
How dare you...
That's enough nonsense. State your purpose.
We're going to continue heading west,
and we're going to stop the Gyumaou revival experiment.
Your desires do not factor into our decisions.
The mission of subjugating Gyumaou has been handed over to Prince Nataku.
That has been decided.
And that doesn't matter.
Orders and missions from above don't mean shit to us.
We're going because we want to.
What...
That's all we wanted to say.
If you'll excuse us...
Buh-bye!
Oh, one last thing.
Don't you dare freeze our credit card.
Did they leave?
Genjo Sanzo's party.
They're continuing west.
Oh?
Since they successfully fought off Prince Nataku...
Even though your prophecies predict their luck will run out...
It seems they'll entertain me a bit longer.
That's deception.
Since you have observed generations of Sanzo priests,
I'm sure that you can read the direction of the stars without hearing my prophecies.
Wouldn't you say so, Saitaisai?
Well, I'm not so sure about that...
Either way, shots have been fired.
I'm hungry.
I'm hungry, I'm hungry! I said I'm hungry, so I'm hungry!
Shut up.
You just ate!
We only have but so much food with us.
You'll have to wait until we get to the next town.
Even if we get to the next town,
you'll have to hope the card isn't frozen.
Well, we won't know until we try using it,
but I think it'll all work out somehow.
You say that, but what am I supposed to do about my cigarettes if it really is frozen?
You're just as noisy as the other one. Stop your whining, you shitty water sprite!
What did you say?
I'm hungry!
Is that the only thing you can say, you stupid monkey?
We found you!
The wanted men of the Sanzo party!
We've come for your heads!
This routine again?
Oh, come on...
Aren't there a lot of them?
Going with quantity over quality, huh? Isn't that a bit too simpleminded?
It's simpleminded, but I think it's a rather effective plan.
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What are we going to do?
There's no way you can beat this many of us!
Just give up and admit defeat—
Let's get to it!
Ugh, this is so annoying! We should've gone home after all.
Well, do you want to?
Well, after that whole spiel we gave the Sanbutsushin...
That'd be super lame.
Lame!
Well, even if we head back, I'm not sure if we'd get there in one piece.
Does anyone actually remember the way home?
Why? Don't we have a map?
The terrain keeps changing, so it's becoming more and more useless.
Don't you remember how many times we've gotten lost?
I just thought that you sucked at navigating, Sanzo.
Me, too!
I'll kill you both.
Well, it appears that turning back at this point would be
just as troublesome as going forward.
And we're probably going to get attacked by demons even if we get back anyway.
Either way, we'll probably be doing the same thing.
So what do you wanna do, Sanzo?
What else?
We can only keep going forward.
Lettering: Hoshi Soichiro
Ura Sai
Ura Sai.
It's finally over.
Yeah, it is.
It went by so fast.
Who knew it'd go by so quickly?
We should probably bring in the laundry soon.
