Minekura Kazuya - Saiyuki, vol. 01-09 (Eng. trans.) (reread)

Really, this is just an excuse to use my shiny new icon! Yay ikkou love! Yay Sanzo waving a gun around!

I noticed more random and fun things this time around! I adore Minekura and how she sneaks these little things in.

- Kougaiji rescues Yaone from being taken away to Hyakugan Maoh. Imagine, in another life, she might have met Kanan!

I thought the point was that if Kougaiji hadn't rescued Yaone, she would have met Kanan's *fate*--and Hyakugan Maoh's men wouldn't have hit Hakkai and Kanan's village and Kanan wouldn't have been kidnapped. So in a sense Kou's act of kindness destroyed Kanan and Gonou's lives.

Need to run out the door but am so excited to read the rest of your post!

Goku would be a blast as long as you could afford to feed him.

I think Goku and Gojyo would be great fun at parties. And Hakkai would help you cook before and clean up afterward. And Sanzo could stand out on the balcony to smoke and be grumpy.

Hakkai would be a fabulous party guest as long as he didn't catch anyone making eyes at Gojyo. Then, problems.

I think also Doku feels he made his choice and he has to stick with it, as shallow and dumb as that sounds. He bound his loyalty to Kou when Kougaji took him in, no questions asked, and to change back to being Gojyo's protector would insult Kou's choice, Doku's own choice, and Gojyo himself-- because Gojyo has grown beyond his family and the circumstances of his birth and can now stand on his own.

I do suspect ickle Gojyo buried Mom all by himself. And then had to run so he wouldn't be caught and blamed for the killing.
