Series Information[]
The Sanzo party continues its westward journey, on a mission to prevent a demonic resurrection. As Genjo Sanzo, Cho Hakkai, Sha Gojyo, and Son Goku fight their way to their goal, their path is fraught with internal strife. When they encounter a formidable pair of adversaries from the west, the cohesion of the group -- and the fate of the mission -- may be at stake.
Episode 15-26 borrows some early concepts from the manga Saiyuki Reload vol. 5-10, mainly "Even a Worm" arc. Seeing from the timeline, Reload Gunlock finished airing in 2004 in contrast to Reload manga which finished in 2009, it can conclude that this arc doesn't follow the original story from the manga.
