I'm not fluent, and I've had trouble with some spots so I'm sure I'll have to come back to this. However, I think I've got the gist of things. I HAVE spent quite a bit of time on this, so please don't take it without my permission, as crappy as it is. Comments/feedback: rielf@hotmail.com (Handwritten notes) :Thoughts: {My notes} p.129 Chapter 4: His God p.130 Everyone {Jan, Ken} Po. Goku (Hey!) How long are we going to walk!? (8 consecutive losses) Hakkai The jeep can't make it through such rocky terrain. Goku You're not good for anything except turning into a jeep, Hakuryu!! Hakuryu (Pii! Pii!) Gojyo Mister.. animal abuse goin' on right now.. Sanzou At this rate the sun will set before we get over these mountains. p.131 Hakkai Shall we ask for a place to stay for the night? Gojyo Geh- what a rich temple. Hakkai Excu-use me? p.132 Guard Monk What is your business? Hakkai We are but travelers, and were wondering if you could spare us a room for the night? Guard Monk This is a sacred temple. Those who do not know it's great lineage cannot be invited within it's walls! Gojyo Now this is why I hate monks! Sanzou Eh- I haven't heard that before. Hakkai This is a quandry. (Hmm-) Goku I'm huuungry! Sanzou!! p.133 Guard Monk D-did you say Sanzou? :Now that you mention it, that man's outfit is the same as what Gomyou Sanzou wore during his lifetime. The deep crimson chakra on his brow is a symbol of one who is near the seat of the Gods.: You aren't by any chance.. the Priest Genjou Sanzou..?! Other Monk What!? p.134 Guard Monk P-please forgive me!! Please come in, right away!! Goku Huh..? Sanzou ... Hakkai It's even bigger on the inside. Gojyo (Whoa) Goku :It reeks of incense...: Monk This way, if you please. p.135 Head Monk So this is Genjou Sanzou-dono. Welcome to our humble old temple. Sanzou Nice show of welcome you put on here. (arrow=> heartless) Goku Hey Sanzou, is it okay to act that way to such an important person? Hakkai More important than that, is the power of the title 'Sanzou'. The only one in this world who has the five scriptures of 'TenChiKaiGen' {Heaven and Earth Changing Era} p.136 Hakkai Those scriptures convey upon their bearers the title 'Sanzou'. To Buddhists, this is the mark of the 'Most High Priest', and the title is revered. Gojyo If that's so, why is this Godless, faithless, corrupted monk here 'Sanzou'? Hakkai You didn't need to go quite that far.. Head Monk The Priest Gomyou Sanzou paid this temple a visit ten-odd years ago. Gomyou-sama's nobility and solemn prescense imprinted itself onto my mind's eye. Genzou-sama truly does remind me of him. Sanzou ... p.137 Head Monk When Gomyou Sanzou-sama passed on, I heard that his prize student, you, succeeded him as Genjou Sanzou. Sanzou We are here because this mountain range is too difficult to cross in a single day. Could you spare us a room for the night? A Monk Yes! Of course! We'd be happy to. Only.. Hakkai What is it? A Monk Because this great temple is sacred, if one is originally an outsider they are usually not allowed enty. You three must be converted to the Buddhist Way. p.138 Gojyo You monks won't allow ordinary people in? What is this, some kind of high-class resturant!? Hakkai Now, now. Sanzou I don't care either way. Goku Ah! I knew you'd say that! Hakkai They are all extreme devotees, and their faith seems strong. Gojyo Don't you mean their paranoia? A Monk Are these men your diciples? Sanzou No. (word in background: seriously) Servants. p.139 A Monk Ah, I thought so. Goko and Gojyo -_-# Hakkai Now, now, calm down.. A Monk -All right then, this time we will make an exception for Sanzou-sama. We shall prepare our best for you, as well. Goku Ah, I feel like a new man. p.140 Hakkai A wonderful room, isn't it. Goku (Ah), all thanks to 'Sanzou-sama'. Sanzou Wanna die? Yo Please be at ease. I will be looking after you during your stay. My name is Yo. Please to meet you! Gojyo ('ch) Can't we at least get a pretty girl to set the table? (Gojyo's disapointed) Yo How impure..!! Women are forbidden to enter this holy temple! p.141 Yo Isn't that so, Sanzou-sama? Sanzou ..why are you looking to me? Yo I never dreamed that I would be able to meet Sanzou-sama in the flesh! I'm so moved!! Genjou Sanzou, the exalted one chosen by Buddha! The most revered personage amongst all Buddhists! Goku (You don't say) (hee hee) Sanzou (Is that so.) Yo Well, then, please enjoy yourselves. If you need anything don't hesitate to call me! Gojyo ...Sanzou pretened to point a gun to his head as the boy was talking.. Hakkai (ah well) That is truly a 'Buddah feigning ignorance'. p.142 Head Monk How wonderful, this chance meeting. That two generations of the Priest Sanzou-sama have passed through here. This too, shows that the Buddah's feelings are unchanging. We are very grateful. Hannyaharamidda Hannyaharamidda Goku Argh! I'm hungry again already. p.143 Goku The food here's nothing but beans and vegetables. Hakkai It can't be helped, it's a vegetarian diet. (for now) (note in border: Hakkai's poker face) Gojyo These clothes'll stink of incense forever. Sanzou Well, you'll just have to put up with it until tomorrow. Lon. {Perhaps a Mahjong term?} Yo Wh-What are you doing? Gojyo Playing mahjong. p.144 Yo (Waah!) You're not allowed to smoke, Sanzou-sama! Sanzou Hm-? Gojyo Have a drink. Yo (Aaaaaa!) You brought a can of beer in here!? We've forfeited those things! p.145 (signs: Forbidden: smoking Fobidden: Alcohol. Matter is void.) Gojyo (damn) A Monk I can't believe it. That a person such as the Priest Sanzou travels with such base followers. I'm.. rather parched, so.. p.146 A Monk (Y-) yes! Please wait I'll go get some tea right now! Sanzou (Thanks) Goku What? What's goin' on? Gojyo Beats me. Hakkai By the way, this temple has suffered no damage from Youkai, has it? Yo Of course! This temple is under Buddah's Divine Protection, which repels such vulgar people. We know this because of our serious faith. p.147 Goku So you don't have weapons of any kind? Yo To take life is not the way of the Buddah. Gojyo ('ch) How idealistic. Hakkai That may be so, but we must be careful not to overstay our welcome. Yo ? Goku ..Beef. p.148 Goku Pork. Chicken. Fish. Gojyo Women. Alcohol. Cigarettes. Hakkai Quite a bundle of earthly desires. Goku So what happened to Sanzou? Hakkai He was summoned by the Head Priest. Goku At this hour? Hakuryu Piiii! Piii! Hakkai Jeep? p.149 Goku Uwaa! What!? This Youki! {Demonic Ki} Not another assassination attempt!? Hakkai Unfortunately, it looks like it. p.150 Ax Youkai Heh heh.. You're here, aren't you, Genjou Sanzou!! Monks Youkai..!? It's a Youkai!! p.151 Ax Youkai Under Kogaiji-sama's orders, I've come to kill you!! Monks Uwaaa!! Run!! Ax Youkai Ah.. so many delicious-looking monks.. p.152 Unfortunate Monk Yii! Gyaaaaa!!! Yo Help me! ..Bodhisattva!! Anyone!! Sanzou So. p.153 Sanzou What did you want? (text in back: really bad mood) Head Monk Sanzou-sama must surely know of our wish for him to stay a long time at our temple. Sanzou I told you before that i'm in a hurry. A Monk A month- no even a week would be enough! That Sanzou-sama chose this particular temple to stop in, must all be under the guidance of Buddha! I have no doubt! Surely you would grant us your sermons? We would all gratefully recieve them! p.154 Sanzou You guys.. asked the same thing of Gomyou Sanzou, didn't you. Head Monk Aah.. yes, but he graciously refused.. Sanzou He really was an indulgent person, wasn't he, my Master. If you'll excuse me. Head Monk S- Sanzou-sama!? Sanzou Shall I say what Gomyou Sanzou-sama decined to? p.155 Sanzou He left out that you're a bunch of selfish elitists. Head Monk (Wh-) What did you say!? A Monk That is going too far, Sanzou-sama!! Sanzou (Oh, shut up. Stupid baldy.) Another Monk {unseen} It's terrible!! p.156 Head Monk Why are you being so noisy? You must never forget to be level headed at all times- Another Monk There's no time for that! A Youkai has penetrated the complex!! Head Monk What!? Another Monk He yells "Send out Sanzou" while he slaughters the inhabitants of this temple, one by one!! ***This is from http://www.rielf.fcpages.com/translations.html***
