Episode Summary

Togenkyo was a peaceful land where demons and humans could live together. Suddenly, a negative wave of energy flowed towards Togenkyo and caused demons to go out of control. They began to attack humans and cause chaos. In Changan Palace Temple, a renegade monk named Genjo Sanzo is given a mission. He tells Son Goko, a monkey whom he found locked up on a mountain, that they are going on a journey. They soon meet up with two demons, Sha Gojyo and Cho Hakkai. Now these four must travel to the west and prevent Gyumao's resurrection. If they fail, it could mean the end of the world.moreless

    • One of the romanizations for Saiyuki is "Gensomaden Saiyuki". If you try to rearrange the order of the title, it makes "Da monkey is a genius". In this case, it means "Goku is a genius" as Goku is always referred to as "Monkey Boy". Edit

    ADD NOTES
    • 'Saiyuki' is actually based on a Chinese Myth about a Priest, Monkey, Kappa (Water Demon), and a Pig's Journey to the West to see Buddaha. Edit
    • Son Goku is the Japanese version of the character Sun Wukong, a monkey god in the Chinese myth of the "Journey to the West". The Goku in "Saiyuki" and the Goku in the original "Dragonball" share similar traits. Edit
    • Genjo Sanzo is loosely based on the Buddhist Monk Xuanzang who made a pilgrimage from China to India in the 600's to bring back Holy Scriptures.
