In this first volume, the group must face some of their most deadly challenges yet! A peaceful temple hides a corrupt secret; will Sanzo fall victim to the deadly truth? After that, a den full of disgruntled bears is on the hunt, and Sanzo and the others just happen to be in the crosshairs. To top it off, the group must cross an impassable river, see through deadly illusions and a newly unstoppable Kougaiji is waiting for them. Will they ever make any progress on their journey? .com An animated version of Minekura Kazuya's manga adaptation of the Chinese novel The Journey to the West, Saiyuki scored a big hit in 2000, and was followed by the sequels Reload (2003) and Gunlock (2004). Sanjo Genjo and his squabbling half-demon companions Sha Goyjo, Cho Hakkai, and Son Goku have made remarkably little progress toward their destination in India over the years. In episode 1, someone remarks, "it may seem like they do nothing but take one detour after another." But Saiyuki fans love those detours, and Gunlock delivers plenty of them. The mismatched quartet continues their picaresque adventure, aiding the weak and bickering among themselves. They also find the time to kill plenty of nasty demons, although the animation of the fights is extremely limited. A serious threat arises when sinister Ni Jenyi turns Sanzo's respected foe Kougaiji into a soulless killing machine, but that subplot will play out over time.

The Japanese vocal cast of the 4 protagonists is simply magnificent and why anyone wishes to watch Saiyuki in any dubbed version is beyond me. Too impatient to wait for the release of the English dub version, I have recently finished watching the rest of Reload and Gunlock (follow-up to Reload) in the Chinese sub/dub version. For those of us disappointed with the animation of Reload, be assure that the animation in Gunlock has greatly improved though I still miss the waif-like, pretty-boy lankiness of the protagonists as in the manga and the 1st series.Reload has 25 episodes and Gunlock has 26 episodes and I am rating the total 51 episodes 5 stars. Reload is of a lighter tone and started off rather weak but Volumes 5, 6 and 7 which are faithful adaptation of the Manga volumes 6, 7,8 and 9 is very well done and a must-have. Saiyuki Gunlock started off with a relatively weak filler Episode 1, as noted by one of the reviewers. However that is the only flaw. The rest of Gunlock Episodes (2-13) are based on the Manga Reload and fillers which are not, are surprisingly very good. My favorite of the fillers is "Snow drop" which expresses the gentle brutality and poignancy of the same titled manga beautifully. Episodes 14 to 26 of Gunlock has a great story arc and should not be missed by any Saiyuki fan. So do yourself a favor and get Reload vol 5,6,7 and Gunlock. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good Anime, Lousy DVD *by W***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 8, 2005* I wish that I could give different ratings for this DVD. The episodes themselves were great and if you're a Saiyuki fan like me, it was good to see this refreshed view of the characters. Those of us who watched the original series would be the first to admit that the animation was nothing to write home about. Thankfully the animation seemed better this time around, with more attention paid to detail (like Goyjo's haircolor - finally it's proper blood-red). The action was tight and the re-introduction of all the characters went smoothly.The storylines at first were mostly rehashing of what we'd seen in previous eposides, but they quickly improved for Episodes 3 & 4. There were quite a few humorous moments (like when Goku, Hakkai and Goyjo broke off from battle just for the chance to beat on Sanzo's dopleganger), and hopefully the plotline with continue to tighten up.I can't critique the American voice actors since I never watch the dubbed verious, but the Japanese voice actors seemed to be the same from the original serious and the subtitles were accurate.As for the DVD itself, it was more than dissapointing. I never heard of Geneon Entertainment before, but there were none of the extras that we were accustomed to seeing on the original series DVDs. I really missed the cultural notes and fold-outs that came with each DVD. For those who don't have a strong background in Asian mythology and the original text of the Journey West, the notes were very helpful in explaining some of the stuff going on and why certain things were important. The Urasai bits at the end of each episode were serious giggles, but not enough to make up for the loss of the other extras. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by P***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 11, 2016* I love the series --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/26377007-saiyuki-reload-gunlock-vol-1](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/26377007-saiyuki-reload-gunlock-vol-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
