I'm back with another Saiyuki ask ✌️
So you know, the Ikkou is really famous, anywhere they go, they get stopped by townspeople who want Sanzo to chant Sutras and such... So, that's kinda Sanzo's fanclub.
Do you think Hakkai, Goku and Gojyo have a fanclub too ? How good would they be at handling it ? Maybe Kogaiji, Dokugaku, Yaone and Lirin have one too, they seem really loved among yokais.
Anyway, I got "inspired" while listening to the Idol drama-cd lol
This one made me laugh quite a bit! I love this idea and had a lot of fun answering this one! Thank you so much for the request and I hope you'll enjoy the headcanons!
Okay, realistically, I don't think Hakkai, Goku and Gojyo have fan-clubs all their very own, though they are recognized and known. I think it's more that they're recognized and known though as companions to Sanzo and fans of theirs are normally already part of Sanzo's fan-club and they're liked by extension.
But just because the idea of it really amuses me, we're going to put that realistically aside and pretend that yes, all three of these dorks have their own fan-clubs and that they're all just as sizeable as Sanzo's.
Now, Gojyo definitely would get a little bit of a swollen ego when he first learns he has a fan-club. He's going to be pissed if it turns out that most of his fans are men...he's really hoping his fan-club consists of mostly beautiful women. He definitely would be the one to take advantage of a beautiful woman being a fan of his already to get laid, if the click and connection was there with that person. Otherwise, he might have a drink with a fan, if they amuse or seem cool to him. He tends to be pretty okay and friendly to his fan-club, but only if they don't come off as being annoying or wanting too much from him.
Hakkai is the most level-headed and realistic about having a fan-club. He knows that his so called fans really don't know anything about him at all, that they're infatuated with an idea of him and not who he actually is. So he never really has moments of ego or lets it get to his head at all. He'll remain polite and civil to any of his so-called fans and he won't go out of his way to be rude to them at all. He's generally pretty okay with being approached, as long as they don't take up too much of his time or cross any of his boundaries but for the most part, he prefers not to interact with his fan-club all that much.
Much like Gojyo, I do see Goku enjoying the idea of having a fan-club and he thinks it's really cool. He sees most of his 'fan-club' as friends and it might go to his head a little at first. For the most part, he's cheerful and nice to everyone who is his fan, though he really hates it when they start to get demanding or if they get too touchy-feely with him and that's when he has no problem letting them know they need to back off. While probably the friendliest of the three, Goku has no problem putting his foot down and making people back the fuck off and he does have a temper. If people annoy him too much, he's just going to walk away and if they try to stop him, he's cool with a fight too, if they look at all strong.
Okay, but honestly, when it comes to Kougaiji...you know how teenage girls hang posters and cut out pictures of their favourite celebrities and such all over their walls? If such things existed in the Saiyuki universe, I think Kou would be plastered all over so many demon girl's walls and probably a fair few demon boy's as well. He's a huge deal to demons and as he's fairly handsome, I think that really helps his popularity among the demon girls in particular. However, he's really not that great about handling the whole 'I have a rabid, insanely passionate fan-club' thing. He appreciates their support, sure, but like...they're more terrifying than some of the enemies he has faced and he can't just kill them like he does his enemies. He largely tries to avoid them as much as he can and it's part of Yaone and Dokugakuji's responsibilities to help him do such.

Saiyuki Reload Blast Drama CD 2 – Track 1: Superhero Team
Summary: The Ikkou forms (or rather, attempts to form) a superhero team. Will they ever agree on which of them will get to play the Red Ranger?
--------
Hakkai: Here, in a certain town, due to youkai raids stemming from Gyumaoh’s empire, the people are in distress. In order to save them and keep the peace, a team of superheros has been formed. Its name is – West Rangers!
--------
Hakkai: All right! Today’s our first meeting, which is itself worthy of commemoration. Let’s put in our fighting spirit in our new roles as superheroes!
The other three (with varying levels of enthusiasm): Alright!
Sanzo: What a bother. You guys take care of this mess as you see fit, between just the three of you.
Gojyo: What are you saying? In the first place, you were the one who received the order from The Three Aspects.
Sanzo: Like I care. It’s something they arbitrarily decided on their own.
Goku: Why a superhero team?
Hakkai: It’s just the whim of a certain merciful and benevolent personage, isn’t it? But, in this way, a secret base of operations has been especially prepared for us, so let’s do our best to live up to their expectation!
Sanzo: What are you getting so hyped up for.
Hakkai: Who among us have not admired superhero teams at some point in our youth?
Gojyo: “Our youth....” You make it sound like we’re geezers already. To begin with, what you call a secret base is just a meeting room in a coffee shop.
Hakkai: By the way, we can make our order via the telephone they’ve provided here. I heard that the food and beverage costs will be covered by The Three Aspects.
Goku: Alright! I’d like a cream soda, a club sandwich, a pizza toast, a ham sandwich, a milk sandwich, a chicken sandwich and a pork-cutlet sandwich.
Gojyo: One ice coffee for me.
Sanzo: A lemon squash and a maple French toast.
Goku: Ah! I want a maple French toast too.
Gojyo: Are you two girls?
Hakkai: I’ll have a plain tomato juice. Well then, I’ll make our order. (picks up the phone) Hello, I’m calling from Room Number Three. Yes, I’d like to make an order. One ice coffee, one cream soda, one lemon squash, one plain tomato juice, two maple French toasts. On top of that, one of the following: club sandwich, pizza toast, ham sandwich, milk sandwich, chicken sandwich and pork-cutlet sandwich.
--------
Goku: Talking about superheroes, one would expect that thing, right? A belt you can wear and switch on in order to transform?
Hakkai: Unfortunately, we don’t have a transformation belt. However, our costumes have arrived. (heaves a heavy box onto the table and opens it)
Sanzo: What are those clothes?
Hakkai: When it comes to superheroes, costumes with different colors are essential, you know. Let’s see – they come in red, blue, yellow and black.
Gojyo: Isn’t that a large amount of clothes for four persons?
Hakkai: The spares are included. There are lots of them, so feel free fight to your heart's content without worrying about dirtying or ruining your costume. Well then, without further delay, shall we decide the color for everyone?
Sanzo: Something like the color of our costumes is just a trivial matter.
Hakkai: No, it is not! For superheroes, the color assignment is important. For example, the leader is almost always dressed in red, a color which symbolizes passion, vigor and victory. In short, the color of the costume is directly connected to the character of its wearer. The different colors represent the superheroes’ different personalities coming together in teamwork. Moreover, through their righteous conducts, superheroes provide extensive guidance to children and adults alike. Without these characteristics, one has no right to call oneself a superhero.
Gojyo: Y–yes.
Goku: Hakkai sure knows a lot about superhero teams.
Hakkai: It’s just something I enjoy reading up on early in the morning, since I’m an early riser.
Gojyo (sighs): Well, one way or another, we have to form a superhero team. So let’s hurry up and decide on the colors already. Shall we start with Sanzo?
Goku: For Sanzo... Sanzo... Sanzo... well, it should be yellow!
Gojyo: I bet you just decided that based on his hair color. So predictable.
Hakkai: What do you think, Sanzo?
Sanzo: Hmmph. Have it your way.
Hakkai: Alright, it’s yellow for Sanzo then. Here are the costumes and the boil-in-the-bag curry sauce.
Sanzo: Hah? What’s the latter for?
Hakkai: According to superhero team lore, the yellow-clad superhero tends to be a curry lover. From today on, please have curry for every meal in order to get into character.
Gojyo (bursts into laughter): Three curry meals a day? You’ll get fat in no time!
Sanzo: I’m not going to do it!
Goku: I like curry, so let’s exchange colors.
Gojyo: You like anything as long as it’s edible.
Goku: But, I’d like to be the red one too. The leader of the superhero team is the one in red, right? The leader is the coolest!
Gojyo: Hold on, hold on. Hold on! The leader is the one with the highest approval rating, isn’t he? Then it should be me, the guy who’s the most popular with the ladies.
Goku: When was it decided that you’re the most popular with the ladies?
Hakkai: I don’t recall us ever holding such a popularity poll.
Sanzo: It’s a kappa’s delusion.
Gojyo: Hah?
Sanzo: The main point is that the one in red is the leader, correct? If that’s the case, it should be me.
Gojyo: You just go and eat curry for the rest of eternity, curry monk!
Sanzo: Hah?!
Hakkai: Wait a minute, please! I can’t entrust the color red to any of you, because none of you have even an inkling of what superhero teams are like. Therefore, I’ll be the superhero in red.
Goku: Eh? Everyone wants to be red?
Gojyo: Since it’s come to this, we’ll have no choice but to decide via a game.
Hakkai: Then shall we make it a game of cards? Mahjong’s fine with me, too.
Gojyo: You’re sure full of confidence.
Sanzo: There’s no need for a game. I’m the leader and you guys are the underlings – that’s a conclusive fact.
Gojyo: Who’d want to be your underling?
Goku: Hmm....
Hakkai: What’s the matter, Goku?
Gojyo: If you need the toilet, hurry up and go already.
Goku: That’s not it!
Sanzo: Then, what is it?
Goku: What I’m trying to say is, if everyone wants to be red, why not just go with that?
Hakkai: Eh?
Sanzo and Gojyo: Hah?
Goku: Why not? Let’s just form a team of red superheroes!
--------
Woman: What’s that?
Man: A bunch dressed in red....
Woman: They look scary.
Goku: Hey.
Gojyo: Hah?
Goku: We kind of stand out, don’t we?
Sanzo: That’s obvious. A group clad in red uniforms is bound to be menacingly conspicuous.
Gojyo: On top of that, we’re wearing these weird masks which cover our whole faces. It’d be strange if we aren’t looked on with suspicion.
Goku: What’s with the complaints? In the end, even Sanzo and Gojyo agreed to everyone being red.
Gojyo: That’s because we couldn’t come to a decision even after thirty rounds of rock-paper-scissors.
Hakkai: That was why I suggested deciding via a game of poker or mahjong.
Gojyo: Yeah, like we’d go with your suggestion. Those are games you know you’re good at.
Hakkai: Well, these days there are groups in which each member is a superstar in their own right. I guess this would be acceptable for a superhero team too.
Goku: Leaving that aside, there seems to be no youkai around.
Sanzo: Indeed.
Hakkai: That’s strange. According to the information that’s recently come in, there should be some youkai in this area. Furthermore, the youkai frequently sighted around here are said to be high-ranking ones.
Sanzo: High-ranking? Someone like Kougaiji?
Gojyo: Judging from his name, he seems to be another red guy. Gimme a break! We’re swarmed with the color red already.
Goku: Oh! The shop over there is selling some delicious-looking stuff. Can we stop there?
Sanzo: Forget it. They’ll call security on us if we do that.
Goku: Why?
Gojyo: If a group in red like us were to suddenly walk into my shop, I’d report them too.
Hakkai: Ah!
Goku: What’s the matter, Hakkai?
Hakkai: How could I’ve forgotten that, me of all people? I’ve not yet prepared our signature phrase and pose!
Gojyo: Do we need those things?
Hakkai: Yes, we do! They’re indispensable! Ah, what should I do? Even if I have to improvise, I must come up with them now. Let me see.... The signature phrase could go like this: “In order to keep world peace, we, West Rangers, shall defeat the villains!” As for the signature pose–
(A loud crash resounds, followed by a menacing laughter.)
Youkai leader: From now on, this town shall come under the rule of the Gyumaoh’s empire! This is a foregone conclusion! As the citizens of a vassal state, hand over your valuables!
Goku: The youkai have appeared!
Hakkai: Right. This is West Rangers’ first job. Let’s put in our fighting spirit and do it!
Sanzo: I can’t go on like this.
Gojyo: That’s some fighting spirit you’re showing in support. Never mind that, let’s go!
Goku: Yeah! (approaches the youkai) Oi, you’re Kougaiji, aren’t you?
Youkai leader: Hah? Who are you guys? What’s with the bizarre get-ups? A procession of superhero-wanna-bes like this–
(A gunshot rings out. The youkai collapses.)
Sanzo: Do you think I’m dressed like this by choice?
Youkai underling: You bastards! (to his comrades) Attack them, guys!
(The youkai rush toward the Ikkou.)
Goku: Bring it on! The fight’s just begun!
Hakkai: Wait a minute, please! First, get into a line formation. Then – “In order to keep world peace, we, West Rangers–”
Gojyo: We don’t have time for that! (shouts and starts to fight a youkai)
Woman: What are you doing?
Hakkai: Ah.... I guess it can’t be helped. The signature pose will have to wait until the next time. (unleashes a ball of chi)
Man: My house!
Woman: Someone please stop them!
Sanzo: Tch.
(Crashes and gunshots are heard in the mayhem.)
--------
Gojyo: The place is cleared out thanks to the damage.
Goku: That Kougaiji guy was sure weak for a high-ranking youkai.
Hakkai: As expected of them, superheroes always win and save the day.
Gojyo: It’s all fine and dandy that we’ve won, but I’m a fix, because my coolness just now has probably won me more fans than ever.
Hakkai: Eh? But we’re all wearing masks, so how would it be possible to tell which one is you?
Gojyo: Oh. That was a mistake on my part.
Sanzo: Whatever. Let’s leave right away.
Goku: Let’s grab something to eat first. I’m hungry!
Gojyo: Hey, we’d better make some improvement to our get-ups. If no-one can tell us apart, there’s no point to this superhero stuff.
Hakkai: What are you saying? Making sure that the opponent has no idea you’re the one fixing the mess is the real thrill of being a superhero.
--------
Dokugakuji: How terrible! The buildings and the streets have all been smashed. What on earth happened?
Kougaiji: One of our followers was supposed to take control of this area, but–
Dokugakuji: Should we ask around? (to the town dwellers) Excuse me.
Man 1: Yes? What do you guys want? We’re all busy clearing away the rubble.
Dokugakuji: What happened here? This town seemed to have suffered frightful damage.
Man 2: What happened, you ask? Hear me out! A group of four dressed in red appeared out of nowhere and went on a rampage!
Man 1: Hear, hear. It’s great that they went and defeated a bunch of youkai, but they also ended up making the mess you see now. Some favor they did us!
Kougaiji: What?
Dokugakuji: So some guys are fighting against us youkai? Looks like they killed all of our followers. Hmm, this bunch of red-clad four must be quite skillful.
Kougaiji: At any rate, this is a dreadful spectacle. Even if we’re at war against humans, our followers were at fault too. As their leader, it’s my duty to make up for their misconduct. Dokugakuji, let’s help the townspeople clear away the rubble.
Dokugakuji: You’re really not suited to the role of the villain honcho. Well, that’s just like you though.
Kougaiji: All right then. (to the town dwellers) We’ll lend you a hand.
Man 2: Really?
Dokugakuji: You could use some help here, right?
Man 2: Yes, we sure could! Oi, everyone! These guys said they’ll lend us a hand!
Other town dwellers (sounding grateful): That’d save us some trouble!
--------
Gojyo (rifles through the newspaper): Now, I wonder if yesterday’s event will grab the headlines. Maybe something like “West Rangers’ Heroic Exploit....” Hah?
Hakkai: What’s the matter, Gojyo?
Gojyo: What’s this?!
Sanzo: Be quiet!
Goku: What is it?
Gojyo: Look at this!
Hakkai: Hmm? “Knight in Shining Armor Kougaiji Aids Town’s Reconstruction?”
Goku: Ah! So this guy’s Kougaiji. He sure looks strong.
Gojyo: That’s not the point.
Hakkai: Instead of us, it’s him and his followers who are being featured extensively in the news. As for us–
Goku: Huh? “Mysterious Red Bunch On A Rampage?”
Gojyo: We’re being painted as some bad guys who’ve destroyed a town!
Goku: Why? We beat those youkai!
Sanzo: That’s probably because we also wrecked the buildings and the streets aside from beating the youkai.
Hakkai: I see. We should have protected the town infrastructure even as we defeat the villains. Being a champion of justice is not that easy, is it?
Gojyo: Jeez, I’ve had enough! I quit! This superhero stuff’s just impossible!
Hakkai: What are you saying? This is just the beginning of West Rangers’ great efforts. Let’s make sure to do things properly the next time.
Goku: Yeah!
--------
Hakkai (strikes a pose): “In order to keep world peace!”
Goku (strikes a pose as well): “We shall defeat the villains!”
Both: “We’re West Rangers!”
Hakkai: Why are you two not continuing?
Sanzo: I don’t give a damn anymore. Count me out.
Gojyo: Same here.
Goku: Eh? Let’s do it together.
Hakkai: I’ve even come up with the signature pose, you know. (strikes a pose) Like this! What do you think? Excellent, isn’t it?
Goku: Like this?
Gojyo: “Like this?” he said. You can’t convey that in an audio drama, can you?
Sanzo: That’s a blunt way of putting it. I agree.
(Hakkai and Goku continue striking poses.)
Hakkai: No, stretch your arm more there.
Goku: Like this?
Hakkai: Yes, like that. Now, if you angle your hand a bit more higher, it’d be even better. One, two–
Both: Like this!
--------
(Round brackets): actions and sound effects.

I had dreams of completing SaiyukiMonthChallenge, but all I managed was my Kougaiji agenda for the second prompt. Ya girl done ran out of time. Lirin and Yaone are still my favorite parts of this piece.

Out of the Loop
"Why do you think he freaks out so much over the monkey?" Lirin asked from the sidelines. Yaone and Dokugakuji looked down at her in surprise. She stared back. "What?" Yaone put a gentle hand on her shoulder. "If you don't know, we're not going to explain it to you."

Month of Saiyuki (day 26)
The boys all get a Tumblr account! What do they like to post?
Goku: he would probably post a mix of food-related stuff (mostly dishes he eats) and physical training stuff i.e. powerlifting and body building.
Sanzo: obscure quotes from Cha'n teachings but those would be posted very infrequently because he is not a social media guy (he doesn't give me this vibe at least)
Hakkai: a blog about books, nerd culture, recipes and sometimes pics of Hakuryuu
Gojyo: selfies, reblogs from hotties, music and random humour
Hakuryuu: Hakkai would make a blog for him and in this blog he would talk about his life and daily challenges with Sanzo Ikkou members (mostly how to take care of them XD)
Yaone: she would post about alchemy, inner alchemy and some beauty-related stuff
Lirin: memes, pics of food and reblogs from Goku's blog and Hakkai's posts about cooking. Goku might follow her back as well especially for the food stuff.
Kougaiji: metal music and random obscure stuff about magic
Dokugakuji: maybe vlogs and a reblogs from Kougaiji's posts (they would follow each other).
Gyokumen Koushu: selfie, selfies and more selfies (she has a big ego after all and social media would only boost it).
Ukoku: a blog about the dark aspects and implications of Science just for the sake of making people feel uncomfortable. He would have a porn second blog and would stalk everyone's blog (minus Lirin), especially Sanzo Ikkou's blogs. Sometimes he might even act like a troll. He would then become bored and would deleted some of his posts if not the entire blog.
Hwang: personal blog about her interests and science-related stuff. She would secretly follow Gyokumen's blog with a secondary blog. A side blog about clothing might be her way to express her interest in Gyokumen.
Zakuro: lots of metal music-related stuff and reblogs from different blogs (mostly inspirational quotes XD).
Koumyou Sanzo: pics of his temple, Kouryou, tea and cigarette brands, quotes from Buddhist monks and random non-sense posts (mostly because he is not used to social media).
Sharak Sanzo: survival tips in the woods that even Bear Grylls would envy her and advice in fighting youkai.
Taruchie: none, she has no time for this.

Dokugakuji/Cookies
Dokugakuji sniffs at the sweets being served to Kougaiji. It’s not poisoned, but the oddly sweet smell is familiar. Yaone plucks the crumbly dessert out of his hand. “I will test it out.” She reassures him before taking the gifts from Dr. Ni away.
“I have smelt that somewhere before,” he tells her.
“Really?” she asks as she breaks off chunks of the dessert to test for toxins.
“A long time ago…”
He then quiets, letting Yaone busy herself. Kougaiji, who had been silent throughout the conversation, says, “That smell is vanilla. This dessert is called a cookie. It comes from the far west. A tremendously expensive spice.”
Yaone turns towards him sharply. Kougaiji simply states, “ It could still be poisoned.”
After several minutes, Yaone finally declares that the cookies are untampered with.
After a moment of hesitation, Dokugakuji bites into the cookie. The taste transports him back.
The construction site where he worked for humans. Most of his human co-workers were either wary or disrespectful except him. On his last night as She Jien, he had bought a cup of steamed pudding smelling sweet. He had taken it back home. And then…
Pulling out a handkerchief from his pocket, he spits it out. Yaone looks at him in alarm.
“Too sweet.”

I don’t actually get the chance to get too smutty with Saiyuki too often, as it’s not requested that often and I had fun doing these headcanons based on this prompt! They were simple and quick but a blast!
Send me one pro and one con you could see with having sex with the character.
Sanzo
When he does choose to have sex, Sanzo is a surprisingly considerate lover in all ways. He isn’t going to be all about what he wants or needs and will make sure that his partner is comfortable with what they’re doing, that the position works for them, and that they’re feeling good and, even if he’s really enjoying something, if it’s really not working for his partner at all, he’ll be okay with switching things up to something that will work for the both of them without being annoyed at having to do so.
The biggest con though is that Sanzo is really not all that into sex. He does not have a high libido at all and his issues with being touched mean that he’s not going to want sex more than once in a blue moon.
Hakkai
Hakkai has amazing hands. It’s almost magical, actually, how easily he can figure out how to touch his partner to elicit the most pleasure for them. He’s not shy with his touches either and he’ll want to map out every inch of his partner, inside and out. He’ll learn quickly what feels best to them, how teasing he should be in his touches, how fast and rough he should be while finger-fucking them…
That being said, Hakkai has also called out Kanan’s name while having sex with his partner at least once and has mentally compared his sex life with his former love to the one he has with his current lover more than once.
Gojyo
Gojyo has a lot of experience sexually and he’s learned quite a few little hints and tips that he’s not shy about using to increase his partner’s pleasure. Really, he almost cares more about getting his lover off than he is about orgasming himself. Sex has never been about his own orgasm, but rather the feeling of being wanted and loved, so he’s really chasing his partner’s pleasure and seeing how happy he can make them.
It does bear mentioning though that, because of that strong desire to be wanted, Gojyo has trouble with remaining monogamous sexually, especially early on into a relationship.
Goku
Goku will be one of the most enthusiastic lovers you could ever have. He’s also so visibly excited to be having any sort of sexual contact with his partner. It’s like his birthday and Christmas all wrapped into one experience, with a little bit of heaven in there. He’s so into it and he’s so into his partner and he will put in so much effort because of how much he really appreciates and enjoys any sexual contact.
Of course, his absolute inexperience does work against him at times and despite having pretty good stamina, he gets over-excited easily and can have issues with premature ejaculation.
Dokugakuji
Dokugakuji has surprising stamina. He will make sure his partner knows that what they are doing feels so amazing and that they feel so good, but he doesn’t cum easily or quickly and can last for a couple of hours, with frequent breaks in between penetrative sex for foreplay and other opportunities for orgasms outside of penetrative sex.
Given what happened with his mother, though, he does have some unresolved sexual trauma and it can pop up seemingly out of nowhere, especially before his partner gets an idea of what triggers him. It could be something they said or did or the way they moved or just the way the moment feels or looks that will bring the memories rushing back into Dokugakuji’s mind and he has an issue with losing his erection completely here and there because of that.

How about Kougaiji and Genjo Sanzo from Saiyuki for the ask list?
Kougaiji
Tumblr media
favorite thing about them
His deep care for those loyal to him and for his birth mother. Also, his half-antagonistic/half-neutral attitude toward the Sanzo Party
least favorite thing about them
The fact the above leads him to (normally) oppose the Sanzo Party, of course
favorite line
Rip. I don't remember any
brOTP
Him and Dokugakuji
OTP
None
nOTP
Kougaiji/Lirin, and by gosh, Kougaiji/Gyokumen Koushu
random headcanon
He likes cheese (that's the first thing that came to my mind)
unpopular opinion
He should betray Gyokumen Koushu and--wait, that's probably a very popular opinion
song i associate with them
"Don't Look Back Again" by WAG
favorite picture of them
The openings fill me with nostalgia, so imma take the pic from there
Tumblr media
.
Genjo Sanzo
Tumblr media
favorite thing about them
He may be a lackluster monk, but by golly, he will protect that sutra
least favorite thing about them
He's just so crude (I know, watching Saiyuki and not liking "crude"? It's stupid. I'm a legacy/nostalgia fan, pure and simple)
favorite line
Any time he calls Goku "monkey"
brOTP
Sanzo/Hakkai (weird that it's not Sanzo/Goku)
OTP
None
nOTP
I would say any of the priest characters, because I have feelings about that
random headcanon
He sleeps with a revolver on his person (is that even a headcanon? I don't think it is lol)
unpopular opinion
He should settle down and start a family, find a good wife--hah! I'm just kidding about all of it
song i associate with them
Any of the Saiyuki opening or ending themes, but probably "For Real" by Hidenori Tokuyama the most
favorite picture of them
I love what “Still Time” did with the different outfits (Ignore the picture quality. Every time I look up this video and see the “posted 16 years ago” tag, I’m like o.O )

Saiyuki Reload Blast Drama CD 3-2: Idol Showdown (アイドル対決)
More info (in Japanese): http://saiyuki-rb.jp/cd/drama03/
Summary: Sanzo Ikkou is an idol group called, well, West. They face off against another idol group, Houtou Castle, in a game show. Goku ends up incurring a debt, while Gojyo’s (self-proclaimed) prowess as a ladies’ man is put to test....
--------
MC: Welcome to Up-and-Coming Idols: Underdog Takeover! In this game show, the idol group West will compete with the guests of the week. If the guests win, they will replace West in the following week. In other words, as indicated by the title, the guests will be able to take over the show!
MC: Let me introduce you to the group who boasts a miraculous winning streak of, believe it or not, forty-nine victories. An achievement they’re surely proud of. At the peak of their popularity, their schedule crammed to the max, the unrivaled West!
Hakkai: Good evening, everyone! We are Cho Hakkai, the lively glass-wearing and dependable elder brother-type idol, and–
Goku: Son Goku, the tough** and skinny idol who is hungry all year round without a single off day, and–
Gojyo: The idol overflowing with mature sex appeal and too-red long hair, Sha Gojyo, and–
Sanzo: Sanzo.
(The audience goes wild.)
Gojyo: Sanzo! You should introduce yourself in more idol-like manner.
Goku: Come to think of it, how’s the stock phrase for Sanzo’s introduction supposed to go? I’ve never heard it, not even once.
Hakkai: Let me see.... It’s: “The over-slender member of West who is the object of every fan’s adoration, the insolent idol, Genjo Sanzo.”
Goku: In-so-lent idol?
Hakkai: It’s an alliteration. The word ‘insolent” describes a person who disregards the people around him and does as he likes.
Gojyo: That description sure fits Sanzo. But is it a trait that suits an idol?
Sanzo: How would I know? It’s just something the hag arbitrarily decided on her own.
Hakkai: Well, if we’re talking about traits suitable for idols, the introduction phrases for the rest of us are just as problematic.
Goku: Gojyo’s “too-red long hair” is just too obvious, isn’t it?
Gojyo: Just leave it alone.
MC: Excuse me....
Hakkai: Yes?
MC: Is it fine for me to go on with the program?
Hakkai: Ah, sorry! Please go ahead.
MC (clears his throat): I was not able to cut in their lengthy discussion at all until just now. An example of the excellent teamwork that has led them to their forty-nine consecutive victories!
Goku: Oh!
Gojyo: What an exaggeration. We were just having an idle chat.
MC: Now, the idols who will challenge that excellent teamwork of West’s are... these guys! Going up against West for the third time, will they make up for their past losses today? An idol group consisting of a mix of guys and girls, Houtou Castle!
Goku: Ah, it’s Kougaiji and co. Huh, aren’t they short a few members?
Hakkai: Yaone and Lirin are nowhere to be seen, aren’t they?
Sanzo: Yeah.
MC: Eh.... Houtou Castle seems to be missing some members.
Kougaiji: My apologies. Lirin is afflicted with a stomachache. Yaone is taking care of her.
Goku: Eh? She’s sick?
Hakkai: That’s worrying.
Dokugakuji: It’s not as bad as it sounds. Just a while ago, at the TV station cafeteria, she ate some curry, sushi, ramen, a big chocolate parfait and other stuff to her heart’s content. She just got so full that she could not move.
Gojyo: “So full that she could not move” – just how much did she eat?
Kougaiji: We’ll do our best to fill in for Lirin and Yaone in today’s showdown. Houtou Castle’s leader and virtuous idol who’s overflowing with righteousness, Kougaiji and –
Dokugakuji: Holder of a permit to operate heavy machinery and a boating license, the blue-collar worker idol, Dokugakuji. I look forward to working with you!
Kougaiji: Last time, we lost the speed-eating contest, but we will triumph over you today, Son Goku!
Goku: I accept your challenge!
(The audience erupts in cheers.)
MC: Er, this is an unforeseen situation, but let’s pull ourselves together and proceed. The first round is the impersonation battle!
Gojyo: What’s that got to do with idols?
Hakkai: I see. It’s one of those unavoidable things idols face in variety shows these days. Merely mastering the arts of singing, dancing and giving talks does not cut it anymore. We have to be skillful at games as well.
Kougaiji: In this game show, it is not just our popularity as idols that is put to test, but our abilities too. How profound.
Sanzo: The organizers of the show probably just picked whatever they thought is fun.
MC: The participants for this round are Sha Gojyo from West and Dokugakuji from Houtou Castle. The theme is... effeminate celebrities! [1]
Gojyo and Dokugakuji: Oi!
Goku: Right on! That’s Gojyo’s specialty!
Gojyo: No, it’s not! Don’t just go and say something misleading like that, stupid monkey!
Hakkai: You did it during the year-end party the other day, didn’t you, Gojyo? That thing, you know, that thing....
Sanzo: He definitely did it.
Gojyo: That was under the influence of alcohol!
Dokugakuji: I give up. I’ve never done an impression of anyone, let alone celebrities.
Kougaiji: Even if you’ve never done it, if it’s you, I’m sure you’ll be able to manage. I believe in you, Dokugaku.
Dokugakuji: The extent of your faith in me–
Kougaiji: Even if you were to lose, we’d make up for it in the next round. Don’t let it bother you. Just do as you see fit.
Dokugakuji: Kou! I don’t know if I can pull it off or not, but I’ll try my utmost to live up to your expectation!
Sanzo: Do your best, shitty kappa.
Gojyo: To lift my morale, why don’t you to encourage me with a few kind words like the other side’s leader?
Goku: A kind Sanzo....
Hakkai: Would that really lift your morale, Gojyo?
Gojyo: Hmm.... Sorry, just forget it.
Sanzo: Oi!
MC: Are you two ready?
Gojyo: Yeah, yeah.
Dokugakuji: Anytime.
MC: Well then, at the count of three! 3, 2, 1, go!
Gojyo: “This is Osugi!”
Dokugakuji: “Oh dear, just how much?”
(The audience laughs.)
MC: All right! Sha Gojyo did the “This is Osugi” impression. Dokugakuji did an impression of Ikko. [1]
Goku: Dokugakuji’s impersonation is pretty good!
Hakkai: Indeed. It’s far from inferior to Gojyo’s Number 18 impression of Osugi. [1]
MC: The winner will be determined by the audience’s votes. The results are out! Sha Gojyo received 47 votes against Dokugakuji’s 53 votes. Dokugakuji wins by a slim margin! A big step for Houtou Castle in their endeavor to overthrow the reigning champions!
Dokugakuji: We did it!
Kougaiji: Well done, Dokugaku!
Goku: Aargh!
Sanzo: Useless kappa.
Hakkai: In the end, based on what’s trendy with the crowd these days, he should’ve picked another celebrity to impersonate. **
Gojyo: That’d have been an unnecessary disadvantage! Instead of shaming me, don’t any of you feel you should console me after the effort I’ve made?
Sanzo: A loss is a loss.
Goku: If consoling Gojyo would turn our loss into a win, I wouldn’t mind doing it.
Hakkai: That’s right. Whether we blame or comfort Gojyo, it doesn’t change the fact that we’ve chalked up a loss.
Gojyo: Yeah, yeah, is that right.
MC: Unlike Houtou Castle, the mood among the members of West is glum. If West loses today’s showdown, they will forfeit their status as the hosts of this show. Choking back their tears, they’re giving their teammate the cold shoulder!
Kougaiji: I see. As one would expect from West. Certainly, it’s necessary to be uncompromising when it comes to winning.
Dokugakuji: I think this is a spectacle one gets used to seeing on-stage and backstage.
--------
MC: The second round is ‘Solve the Riddle’! This round will be a team event, a match pitting Son Goku and Cho Hakkai from West against Kougaiji and Dokugakuji from Houtou Castle!
Goku: All right! Let’s give it our best shot, Hakkai!
Hakkai: Yes, let’s.
Sanzo: Oi, Goku. Answer none of the questions. Leave everything to Hakkai.
Goku: What? But I want to press that thing that goes ‘ding-dong’!
Hakkai: If that’s the case, would you please press the buzzer for me, Goku? I will then reply to the question.
Goku: Eh? Would that be fine with you? Yay!
Gojyo: You’re fine with just pressing the buzzer?
Kougaiji: So it’ll be a showdown with Son Goku. We can’t afford to lose this! Let’s go, Dokugaku!
Dokugakuji: A showdown, you said? Isn’t he just going to press the buzzer?
MC: Well then, let’s begin. Speed is of essence in this round, so please press the buzzer as fast as you can if you know the answer.
Goku: Yeah!
Kougaiji: Understood.
MC: Riddle number one: What animal is big and dotted?
Hakkai: Goku!
Goku: Yeah! (presses the buzzer)
MC: West is fast! Your answer, please!
Hakkai: It’s a dog. Big and dotted – the character for big (大 ) adorned with a dot.
Goku: Oh! That’s a dog (犬 ).
(A cheery chime sounds.)
MC: Correct! One point for West! Exactly what one would expect from the brains behind West, an answer accompanied by an explanation!
Kougaiji: His movement when pressing the buzzer was so fast that I wasn't even able to see it. That’s just like Son Goku.
Dokugakuji: There’s no need to be so impressed.
MC: Moving on to the second question: Curry bread, red bean paste rolls, sliced bread – which of these is the most short-spoken? [2]
Hakkai: Goku!
Goku: Yeah–
Dokugakuji: Like I’m going to let you! (presses the buzzer)
MC: Uh-oh, Houtou Castle beat West to the buzzer by a mere split-second! Your answer, please.
Dokugakuji: It’s sliced bread.
(A cheery chime sounds.)
MC: Correct!
Sanzo: How come?
Gojyo: Ah, I know. Only sliced bread has crust on its edges. Like, when someone is edgy and crusty, they tend to be short-spoken, y’know? [2]
Sanzo: How absurd. Bread is not a living thing.
Gojyo: Do you even understand how riddles work?
Kougaiji: You did well, Dokugaku!
Dokugakuji: The other day, when we were keeping Lirin company, she made Yaone and me answer lots of riddles. The one just now was one of those riddles.
Kougaiji: I wasn't invited....
Dokugakuji: There’s no need to be feel so down about it. At that time, you were away for a solo appearance that Gyokumen Koushu penciled into your schedule. Lirin did say that she’d want to play a round of riddles with you next time.
Kougaiji: I–is that so?
MC: At the moment, both teams are tied at score 1-1. Whether it ends in tears or in laughter, here is the final question!
Goku: Hakkai, did you know the answer to the question just now?
Hakkai: Yes, I did. It’s a pretty common riddle. (to himself) Just as I thought, there was a time lag because I had to instruct Goku to press the buzzer. On the other hand, even if I were to press the buzzer myself, I’m not sure if I’d be able to beat the opponents’ reflexes. In this case, I’ll just–
Goku: Urm, Hakkai?
Hakkai: Goku!
Goku: Y–yes?
Hakkai: For the next question, instead of waiting for me to tell you to do so, please go ahead and press the buzzer with all your might.
Goku: Eh? Is it okay to just press the buzzer without you telling me to do it?
Hakkai: Yes! If the other team looks like they’re going to press their buzzer, please act fast so that you press our buzzer before they press theirs.
Goku: Got it!
MC: The final question: Ink brush, pencil and ballpoint pen – which of these has dibs on being first in line? [3]
Dokugakuji: All right! I’ve heard this one before!
(Goku yells and bangs on the buzzer. A dull, loud buzz follows.)
Goku: Eh? Eh?
MC: Oops! Due to Son Goku having pressed the buzzer with all of his strength, he’s destroyed not only the buzzer, but the stand as well!
Goku: Gek!
Hakkai: Goku!
Gojyo: Stupid monkey! What were you doing?
Goku: But Hakkai told me it’s okay to press the buzzer with all my might....
Hakkai: I did say so, but this....
Sanzo: It’s not just the buzzer that you broke. There’s the stand too.
(Someone presses the buzzer.)
Gojyo: Ah, crap!
Dokugakuji: Sorry, but this match belongs to us. The answer is ink brush.
(A cheery chime sounds.)
MC: Correct! Houtou Castle wins the second round with the score of 2–1!
Kougaiji: Certainly, according to one theory, the ink brush was invented during the Neolithic period. So it makes sense that the ink brush is the “first in line,” rather than the pencil or the ballpoint pen, both of which were probably invented later.
Dokugakuji: Kou, this is a riddle.
Kougaiji: Hmm? There’s another reason behind the answer?
Dokugakuji: You dip an ink brush in the ink, right? So, ink brushes – dips. Dips, dibs – get it? [3]
Kougaiji: Ah, I see! Dibs... first dibs!
Dokugakuji: That’s it!
--------
Goku: Sorry, I used a bit too much force.
Gojyo: It was not just a bit! Even if you’re stupid, try to use your head!
Goku: What’s that? You lost in the first round too, so you don’t have the right to complain about me!
Sanzo: Oi, Goku.
Goku: What is it?
Sanzo: You’ll have to pay for the damage to the stand.
Goku: Eh? Why?
Gojyo: Why, you ask. That’s because the crew of the show said so just now. They told us they don’t have the budget to cover the cost of the repairs.
Hakkai: Since this show features guests in every episode, it often exceeds its budget due to the appearance fees paid to those guests. It’s probably barely breaking even.
Goku: We’re a group, so shouldn’t we split the compensation equally among ourselves?
Gojyo: Get real! You’re the one who caused the damage! Don’t drag the rest of us into your trouble.
Sanzo: Do your best to pay them back.
Hakkai: Now, now, Goku, it’ll be all right.
Goku: Hakkai, will you help me pay them back?
Hakkai: You’ll just have to make two or three solo appearances to earn some extra income. For example, you can get yourself invited to variety shows in which you perform activities such as bungee jumping or reenacting a fad in remote, exotic locations.
Goku: Those sound like fun, but–
Sanzo: At any rate, we’ve suffered two consecutive defeats.
Goku: Eh? Does this mean we’ve lost? And that we won’t be hosting this show from next week on? That’s terrible!
Sanzo: Stop there.
Gojyo: Nope. At moments like this, aren’t they going to pull the usual trick?
Hakkai: Yes, the usual trick.
MC: Surprisingly, West has now suffered two consecutive defeats. Typically, it would have been a victory for Houtou Castle, but as an exception, the third round today carries three points!
Dokugakuji: That again?
Goku: I’ve always thought this is somehow sneaky of the organizers.
Hakkai: Well, this is what they call the obligatory cliched development.
Gojyo: Yeah, yeah. Can’t be helped.
Dokugakuji: Still....
Kougaiji: It’s true that we’ve been winning so far, but it has all been due to Dokugaku’s efforts. Therefore, in the next round, I wish to do my part to the best of my abilities. My contribution will be worthy of Houtou Castle’s reputation!
Dokugakuji: Kou!
MC: The final round is Love Proficiency Quiz! As dream idols, our participants must be able to anticipate what the opposite sex wants. Therefore, we’ll have them compete based on their proficiency in matters of the heart!
Kougaiji: I see! I definitely agree with what he said.
Hakkai: Kougaiji is either truly naive or overly straightforward.
Dokugakuji: That’s where Kou scores when it comes to charm.
MC: The challengers will be Genjo Sanzo and Sha Gojyo from West and Kougaiji and Dokugakuji from Houtou Castle!
Gojyo: All right! With this, our fiftieth victory is guaranteed.
Sanzo: Make sure not to drag me down with you, shitty kappa.
Gojyo: That’s my line.
Goku: Will Sanzo be all right?
Hakkai: Indeed. I don’t think he knows a single thing about being in love or romantic relationships.
MC: The rules are simple. Out of three choices, please raise the card representing the action you think a man should take in a particular situation. We’ve conducted a poll beforehand among the female viewers of this show. The correct answer is the one with the highest number of votes.
MC: Question number one: You’ve successfully exchanged contact details with the woman you’re interested in. However, she has not replied to the message you sent. Now, what should you do? A: You’re worried, so you send her another message. B: It’s rude of her not to reply immediately to your message, so you block her. C: Stay calm and wait at leisure for her reply.
(The participants raise their cards.)
MC: Uh-oh, each team is split in terms of their answers. Sha Gojyo and Dokugakuji chose A. Genjo Sanzo and Kougaiji picked C.
Goku: Eh? Sanzo picked C? I mean, would he have sent a message in the first place?
Sanzo: No way I’d have done that. Sending out another message would be a bother, plus I have no idea how to block a contact. Therefore, I simply picked the remaining option.
Goku: Ah... just as I thought.
Hakkai: Gojyo chose A? That’s surprising, isn’t it?
Gojyo: Despite appearances, I’m quite caring.
Goku: But, if you’re too persistent in contacting her, won’t she find it irritating?
Kougaiji: Indeed. She might have her reasons for not replying immediately.
Dokugakuji: If it’s only a follow-up message, it shouldn’t be a bother to her.... At least, that’s what I thought.
MC: Okay, the answer is... C! Genjo Sanzo and Kougaiji have answered correctly!
Gojyo: Gek!
Kougaiji: I got it right! We did it, Dokugaku!
Dokugakuji: I got it wrong, but so did Gojyo, so it’s a draw.
Sanzo: That’s a bright notion of yours about being caring.
Gojyo: Acting so full of yourself even though you got the right answer just by chance! Writing a message is just a trifling matter and I don’t mind doing that, so what’s the harm in showing that I care by sending another message?
Woman in audience: Even if I were to receive such a message–
Goku: The audience is talking noisily about what you said.
Gojyo: Ah, next question, next question!
MC: Moving on to the question number two: The woman you’re interested in just had a haircut. However, to be honest, the new hairstyle does not quite suit her. Which should be the correct reaction on your part in this scenario? A: Tell her frankly the hairstyle does not suit her. B: Make a remark such as “You’ve changed her hairstyle?” to casually bring up the subject and immediately compliment her on her hairstyle. C: Search for hairstyles that suit her, summarize them in a document and submit it to her for consideration.
(Kougaiji and Dokugakuji raise their cards.)
MC: Kougaiji picked C. Dokugakuji picked A. The members of Houtou Castle each gave different answers again this time.
Kougaiji: Rather than forcing myself to compliment her, the best way forward is to suggest alternate hairstyles that will suit her better.
Dokugakuji: I’m in favor of being frank with her, but going as far as to suggest new hairstyles for her is a bit too much....
MC: Er, Gojyo and Sanzo did not submit any answer.
Sanzo: Things like hairstyles are inconsequential.
Gojyo: I’d invite her to my place and casually fix her haircut on my own. That should be the correct answer. A skillful man is bound to be popular with the ladies. [🤦Remember the haircut he gave himself when he thought Gonou was dead...]
Audience (murmurs in disapproval): Eh?!
Woman: That’s not casual at all.
Gojyo: What’s with the fuss?
Goku: As I suspected, Gojyo’s not as popular with the ladies as he claims.
Gojyo: What did you just say?
MC: We have a couple of original answers, but the correct answer is B! None of the participants got the question right this time.
Dokugakuji: Drats, a miss!
Kougaiji: Ah, I got it wrong.
Gojyo: Hey, shouldn’t you award bonus points for a clever original answer?
Hakkai: Gojyo, this is not the type of quiz in which the participants provide improvised answers.
MC: Now, here is the final question: At the workplace, you coincidentally happen to overhear her being scolded by her boss. She seems very down. What should you do in the aftermath? A: Listen earnestly to her complaint without interrupting her. B: After asking her about the reasons behind the scolding, give her advice on what she should do next. C: Act as if nothing happened and ask her out for a fun date.
(The participants raise their cards.)
MC: Again, the answers are all over the place. Genjo Sanzo chose A. Kougaiji and Dokugakuji picked B. Sha Gojyo chose C.
Gojyo: This has got to be the only option! I’ll make her forget everything.
Sanzo: You give me the creeps.
Goku: Yeah, that’s gross.
Hakkai: Yes, that’s disgusting indeed.
Gojyo: Heh! Say what you like, but I’ll prove once and for all that I’m a real ladies' man!
Hakkai: Anyway, Sanzo, would you really listen to her complaint?
Sanzo: It’s best to let sleeping dogs lie. We’ve scored no points at all this round aside from the one I got for the first question. This time around, I simply picked a similar option.
MC: All right, here goes the deciding tie-breaker! The correct answer is A!
Gojyo: H–huh?
Kougaiji: Just listening to her complaint feels like an irresponsible thing to do....
Dokugakuji: But, since she already looks down after the scolding, that might mean she’s already reflecting on the reasons for it. So, she probably won’t be happy to receive unsolicited advice on what she should do next.
MC: West got the last question right. Therefore, the special three points for this round go to them. It’s a turnabout victory for West!
Goku: Hooray! We won!
Hakkai: We somehow made it through this time as well.
Gojyo: Ah... ahh....
Goku: What’s wrong, Gojyo? Aren’t you glad we won?
Hakkai: We won, but it’s a complete defeat for him. He was probably confident he was going to ace all of the questions since they tested one’s proficiency in matters of the heart.
Gojyo: Aargh!
Goku: Oh, so that’s why he looks upset.
Sanzo: Hmmph! What’s the matter, self-proclaimed ladies' man?
Gojyo: You! You just struck a lucky hit, that’s all.
Hakkai: For one, in many interviews, he’s claimed that there’s no woman he wouldn’t be able to seduce. After what happened just now, that’s a bit....
Dokugakuji: Don’t be so down. It was just a quiz.
Kougaiji: You did your best, didn’t you? There’s no need to be mournful.
Gojyo: Aaargh! I don’t need your consolations! They just make me feel all the worse! ** Hey, next question, next question! From now on, I’ll definitely get all of the questions right and become the number one ladies’ man!
MC: Er, the question just now was the last one.
Gojyo: Then, extend the round! Oi–
MC: Well, the time’s come for the end of the show. West has bagged their fiftieth consecutive victory. Will opponents who are capable of putting a stop to their winning streak turn up in the next installment?
Kougaiji: We’ll definitely defeat you guys next time. Don’t lose until our next return to this show, Son Goku!
Goku: Yeah! Leave it to us!
Hakkai: Please give my regards to Yaone and Lirin.
Dokugakuji: Next time, they’ll join us as well. We’ll return in full force.
Sanzo: I’m sleepy. Oi, let’s hurry up and go home.
MC: See you again in the next episode, same time next week!
Gojyo (trying to talk over the MC): Hey! What are you doing, ending the show already? Don’t ignore me! You guys! Oi! Oiiii! You can’t let it end like this!

[2] The second riddle is based on the fact that a piece of sliced bread has a thin crust around its edge, in contrast to Japanese curry bread and red bean paste rolls which are covered with crust all over. The Japanese term for the thin crust around sliced bread is “pan no mimi” (パンのみみ). “Mimi” (みみ) is a homophone of the word for “ear” in Japanese. Thus, the original question was: Which of the bread listens to what you have to say? Since only sliced bread has this kind of crust, the answer to the riddle is sliced bread.
[3] The third riddle is based on another Japanese wordplay. The tip (“saki”, 先) of an ink brush is made of hair (“ke”, 毛). The previous sentence, written in Japanese (先が毛), is phonetically identical to the expression 先駆け (“sakigake”), which means a pioneer. The original question was: Which of these (ink brush, pencil and ballpoint pen) was developed (invented) first? Because the ink brush is associated with the Japanese term for pioneer, the answer to the riddle is ink brush.
