Oooh, very nice again. I really shouldn't even bother commenting anymore, you know what I'm going to say. However "And there are only certain orders I take: “More, faster, there, yes!”" that is my favourite line.
I must ask though why Goyjo refers to Sanzo as Genjo. *blinks* I was always under the impression that by western standards Sanzo was his first name, surely that would be more familier than Genjo?
"Sanzo" is a title; it refers to the priests who protect the Tenchi Kaigen sutras. When they call him Sanzo, in effect they are actually just calling him "Priest."
"Genjyo" is his Buddhist name to go along with the title, so it would actually be more familiar than being called "Priest."
This way, he doesn't actually have a family name, just a given + title. The same would be true for Koumyou, Ukoku, etc.
