Saiyuki Reload latest chapter

[louiselux]

My internets went for three days and now it's back. *holds internet close*

I really enjoyed the new chapter of Saiyuki Reload (over at radiofreebanri). The thing I enjoyed most was Sanzo's amazing expression when he realised his bullets wouldn't work on Ukoku. He has an almost childlike expression of confusion, which perhaps is how Ukoku makes him feel?

He's the only living link to Sanzo's childhood, the only person who remembers him as a child. It's interesting to me that Sanzo is on his knees in front of Ukoku at the end of that scene (oh, shhh). I mean in that Sanzo is back at child height, looking up at Ukoku, and it echoes all those other times that we see Sanzo's memories of Ukoku: looking up at the dangerous and unknowable adult.

Besides that, apart my hopelessly thinking Ukoku is just so hot and cool, um, I fret about what horrible things he is going to do to everyone in the next chapter. It makes me anxious!

Am I a horrible person for wishing to Sanzo really break down? *g* I don't know, it just seems like he's due. And with everything that's gone on recently, the timing is right. Or maybe I'm just mean. :D

But yeah, awesome chapter, and I was so thrilled to see Ukoku/Nii/whatever he's calling himself these days.

When was the last time Sanzo broke down? The end of the first series, wasn't it? Hmm, perhaps it is time then! I'm still scared that Nii is going to do some terrible thing to Gojyo and Hakkai.

I'm afraid of Nii doing something terrible to all of them. He would enjoy it so damn much. But for whatever reason, I worry more about Goku. It seems like Nii has a particular interest in the Seiten Taisei, and I have no clue what that's all about.

Granted, I'm an unabashed Goku fangirl, so I might be reading more into it than there is, but it's just something I've been thinking about.

Gah! I can't wait for the next chapter. *frets*
