Everybody who lives has to die eventually. It’s the natural order of things. However, now isn’t our time. We have to believe that and keep on living.

Please let us know your impressions on the final episode.

Finally, the final episode! Sanzo and Hakkai provoked Hazel, whose body is possessed by a monster!
“Is your conviction this weak?!”
“Demons are insects, you say, are you going to tragically retire being a hero?“
And beside him, our favorite enemy, the crow, was looking at the situation with a smirk…! Don’t lose, Sanzo party !!

What is "pride” for Sanzo in a brief comment?

In his last line… For the sake of oneself, never give yourself away.

Please give a message to your fans.

Thank you for your patience, Saiyuki fans. We have gathered for the episodes of Hazel edition which can be said to be a gem in the series. Please enjoy Saiyuki to your heart’s content!

Please let us know your impressions on the final episode.

It was full of highlights. I was very fond of Hazel and Gat. I’ve done various series with the Sanzo party and I think I did my best this time too (laughs) Well, I’m deeply moved by the completion of Hazel’s anime version of the original story. And what will happen to Ukoku? I’d like to see what will happen to him, but the animation for the sequel RELOAD BLAST was already finished (laughs) Ukoku wasn’t there…

Please let us know your impressions on the final episode.

Speaking of Saiyuki, it has a shady view of the world, right? Are we in the shadows? Or in the sun? After a long time, I think this time it gave a specially ‘shadowy’ ending. What was thrown at Hazel was big, he was carrying so much. And the part where we, the Sanzo party, caught it, I think it’s worth seeing.

What is “pride” for Gojyo in a brief comment?

Gojyo always says “Aren’t we living by going with the flow?” and it sounds beautiful, but I think he is the type who wishes for others’ happiness more than anyone else. He takes action against things that hinder one’s happiness, because he has a hard time growing up. He seems to have no pride at first glance, and he is in a position where he wants to live in a sloppy and amusing way, but because he has that kind of experience, he has a strong feeling for people who are hindered from happiness. I think he doesn’t want other people to feel the same way he did. Isn’t that something close to pride for Gojyo?

Please give a message to your fans.

Thank you for watching Saiyuki for so many years. 13 episodes have passed quickly since it started. I would appreciate it if you take a closer look at each episode. Of course, the final episode also has a heavy theme, aside from whether they win or not. I’ll end this by saying their journey is still not over yet. I’m looking forward to seeing you in the future. I hope you enjoy this Hazel edition to the fullest.

Please let us know your impressions on the final episode.

It is normal for people to react differently after losing what they have, but the roots of each character can be seen depending on how they react. Ukoku and Hazel were really the core characters of Even a Worm.

What is “pride” for Hakkai in a brief comment?

Have trust in comrades, take trust from comrades.

Please give a message to your fans.

Thanks to your support, “Saiyuki RELOAD -ZEROIN-” was able to reach the final round safely. Even after the broadcast is over, the Sanzo party will continue their journey toward the West in order to restore the peace in Shangri-la. I hope you will continue to pray for the safety of the four.

What is “pride” for Hazel in a brief comment?

I think it’s all about his ‘feelings for his master.’ I felt that the existence of his master was always the origin of Hazel’s actions and ways of thinking, including his mission to exterminate monsters.

Please tell us the highlights of the 13th episode, the things you put a lot of effort into, or things you think we should pay attention to.

The scene of parting with Gat and the scene of crying when seeing Gat’s bandana. For these two, I retook many patterns while discussing with Director Takada. I’m looking forward to seeing which one will be adopted in the end (laughs) Please look forward to it.

Please give a message to your fans.

Thanks to the support from Saiyuki fans, I had the opportunity to perform again for the original story. There are scenes that we cherish in our hearts, there is also an extra episode and lots of places that are entertaining. I hope that you enjoy the new Hazel edition in the world of Saiyuki.

What is “pride” for Gato in a brief comment?

Gato’s “pride” is to devote himself. To devote himself is to feel the pain and suffering of others as our own and to give our lives to solve them. That will bring the ultimate joy.

Please tell us the highlights of the 13th episode, the things you put a lot of effort into, or things you think we should pay attention to.

Human memory is vague. It disappears quickly. It fades away steadily. However, no matter how old I am, how much time passes, even if I lose my cognitive ability, I have a memory that I will never forget. A heartfelt feeling engraved in my bones. Even if I become sand, I won’t forget. As long as you get this, you won’t forget.

When I was a student in the drama department, I also wore a bandana.

Please give a message to your fans.

Make room for the depth of the man of virtue.
Make a joke with the playfulness of the man of virtue.
Prepare for the determination of the man of virtue.
Live the fragility of the man of virtue though it’s short.
Please feel the enthusiasm and calm of the man of virtue.

What is “pride” for Ukoku Sanzo (Nii Jianyi) in a brief comment?

Keep the loneliness and never team up. Live alone in the worries and sorrows of a genius. Isn’t that aesthetic the “pride” of him?

Please tell us the highlights of the 13th episode, the things you put a lot of effort into, or things you think we should pay attention to.

Please pay attention to the last scene of episode 13.

Please give a message to your fans.

The recording was over in no time. I am truly happy I’m able to pour my passion for this wonderful work in the midst of Corona. I was never this happy to share this feeling with fans through my work. I hope you can enjoy it.
