Introduction[]
“The Bodhittsava Kannon has come with a message: The monk named Sanzo can release the seal cast on this mountain. If you wish for him to do so, join him on his journey as his disciple―――”
Goku was sealed away underneath the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years after challenging the Buddha. One day, a monk on a westward journey to retrieve the scriptures of love and hope appears before him.
Eventually, Goku reluctantly joins the monk, Sanzo, on his pilgrimage. On their journey, they also encounter a prince of the dragon clan, Gyokuryu; a river monster who received his current form due to a failed bout of sorcery, Gojo; and an ex-marshal who was turned into a pig monster, Hakkai. The five head west alongside one another, each with their own respective goals and ambitions. But alas, their journey does not prove to be easy…
―――This is a story full of beginnings. The curtain thus rises on an old, yet familiar journey…
