after watching all saiyuki series, i just want to tell you this...
why on earth you made all villains with their horrible pasts?
1. homura taishi was a good God of War. just because he fell in love with a human, he was arrested and then he decided to go to earth to create his own world.
2. Kami-sama was sanzo's childhood friend, or so because they were not getting along quiet well. i mean, sanzo knew him during his childhood time. this kami-sama was Ukoku sanzo's underling, also a friend of his master Komyou Sanzo. Koryuu (sanzo's name) was given a title as Genjyo Sanzo and he was entrusted to take care of Maten Sutra, while this kami-sama get nothing from his master.
3. Hazel Grouse and Gatty Nenehawk (gato) were travelers from western region. they wanted to eliminate all demons. but hazel himself was cursed by a demon during his past. he kept telling that his master was killed by a demon. but in fact, it was him who killed his own master.
4. Go Dogan was Sanzo's underling while he was in Chang An. sanzo didn't take him to his mission with hakkai, gojyo, and goku because he was weak. in order to be strong, Dogan trained his physical strength and mental. but when he went back to the temple, Sanzo had left to the west and didn't leave any messages for him.
in the beginning i saw them, i hate them. they were evil prick and i wish sanzo-tachi would kill them. but when they were about to reach their ends, they will reveal their true past and somehow, it made me sad TT^TT
well done, minekura-sensei...
