Gensomaden Saiyuki Part 26-2

Sanzo was putting up a good fight against Rashu, who decided to switch techniques since all human beings were bond to have one weakness. So, he entered in Sanzo’s past when he formerly known as Koryu. Kyomo Sanzo told Koryu that his name was associated with Yangzi River, a grand and solemn that reflected Koryu’s character. When Koryu asked Kyomo Sanzo why did he took him in, Komyo replied that he had Koryu calling out to him many times. Maybe, someday, Koryu too, would hear a voice calling out to him. Outside, Hakkai & Gojyo were still unable to break the barrier. Gojyo felt that Sanzo was the only one able to break out since his gun had the ability to destroy the artillery barrier. After the death of Komyo Sanzo, Koryu was crowned as Genjo Sanzo. The elder of the monastery decided to give Genjo a weapon to protect himself against the demons. Genjo Sanzo chose the handgun because he could use it to shoot himself when the time comes. With that information, Rashu used Sanzo’s fears, guilt, insecurities and inner doubts to weaken Sanzo’s mental strength. Goku could see Sanzo fading away from him. He screamed. Sanzo heard him. Then, somehow, Goku was able to reach out and grabbed Sanzo’s hand. Sanzo took his gun and told Rashu that though his hands were covered with blood, he could always wash it away. He shot him, freeing himself & Goku from the barrier. Hakkai & Gojyo were relived to see them. Sanzo looked at Goku and said he had heard a voice. Goku looked at him, puzzled. In Heaven, Kanzeonbosatsu said though blood could be washed away, people bleed to live. She told her servant, Jiroshin that the duties of the gods were not to look down on humans but to witness those who were born to live. Deep down, she encouraged the foursome to continue their journey to the west even though it’s a path made of dead bodies.
