First half of the last section: Basic Knowledge. My favorite part of the Dictionary, because it has info on all the miscellaneous stuff like the Maten Sutra, Goku's diadem, and beer. X3

Bald(y)【ハゲ Hage】(Sai.3- )

☆ When hair has fallen out, or a term pointing to such a spot.

☆ A bad name that requires guts to use on a blond, high-ranking monk who carries a gun around. According to Gojyo, the spot a certain high-ranking monk has recently begun to shave is this.

I swear this one made me think for a while. Especially the rather jumbled up second sentence. I sat there for a good few minuets wondering to myself "But, Sanzo doesn't shave his head."

.... And then it all hit me.

"Oooohhhhhhhhh."

I still don't get it, unless it means facial hair. But judging by your post, maybe I don't want to know?

Sorry about the bad sentence structure (^_^;;)

*chuckles*

That one had me think for a moment, as well. I actually tried to picture any spot on his head that would be shaved and then I stopped and thought "Wait a moment...if Gojyo is saying it..."
Light bulb on. *lol*

Very interesting read, indeed! I love the divulging of Saiyuki mysteries and vocabulary :) Especially that last bit about bathing in the blood of a thousand demons; I've often wondered how true that was. Thanks for posting this!!
