What is Sanzo thinking?
You know, in Chapter 22 of Even a Worm, where he suddenly has some sort of realisation. I had an idea.
I took![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snowyheart's advice and stared at pages 13 and 14. Sanzo describes the different sutras and what they can do, says he's never seen any of the others in action, then says that only the successor of a Sanzo can make them work, then... dun dun DUN! Sanzo realises something.
I think it might be that he has seen one in action: the Uten sutra that holds power over life and existence. Somehow it's Hazel's amulet. Meaning Hazel must be a Sanzo, either knowingly or unknowingly. Or Ukoku, because it must have something to do with him, might have found some way of putting the power of the sutra into the amulet.
Huh. Does that sounds completely cracktastic?

But weirdly plausible.
And what happens to all those sutras that are successor-free, like the one from the Sanzo that got eaten by the scorpion youkai? Does someone pick a successor for them?

Anyway, my further theory goes: Ukoku visited both Master Filbert and Koumyou 10 years ago, whereupon they both died gory deaths, leaving their cute blond disciples to fend for themselves and Ukoku free to stalk them unhindered. Therefore: Ukoku has a thing for hot blonds. Um. Profound!

I personally think that's the case. The sutras seem to be - they seem to pick a bearer. Probably the Seiten will only react to Sanzo, and it likely - I can see the sutras having a limited ability to 'turn up' where they want to be. So the Seiten probably winds up at the door of Houtou daily, and Nii goes "..." and has to tote it back. XD

I actually think you're onto something, because all sutras but one are more or less accounted for. We know where Maten, Seiten and Muten are. And one sutra is possibly still buried in the desert (Kouten?). So that leaves the one that has not been mentioned at all...

Whee, exactly! ^^! At first I took it to mean that Master Filbert was a Sanzo (or at least had super Sanzo powerz) but I didn't even think about the possibility of Ukoku having something to do with it...
Yay for Minekura!
