Saiyuki Gunlock English Sub & Dub

About Saiyuki Gunlock

Saiyuki Gunlock (Saiyuuki Reload Gunlock) blends action, adventure and comedy by Studio Pierrot (2004). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: The Sanzo Ikkou continues its westward journey, on an assignment to prevent a demonic resurrection. As Genjo Sanzo, Cho Hakkai, Sha Gojyo, and Son Goku fight their way to their goal, their path is fraught with internal strife.

Soon after, when they encounter a formidable pair of adversaries from the west, the cohesion of the group -- and the fate of the assignment -- may be at stake.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
