One of the five great Bodhisattvas who live in heaven, one who administers mercy and compassion. However, se is a vulgar, boob-flashing, hermaphroditic, sexy Bodhisattva. This is the person who ordered the Sanzo Ikkou to go to the west. It may seem like she enjoys sending various trials at Sanzo and the others, but ever since 500 years ago she puts her heart and soul into watching over the way Goku and the others live their lives. In Gaiden, she displays enough natural power to knock out Goku after he’d changed into the Seiten Taisei. She might actually be the strongest. She is portrayed as a hermaphrodite in the manga, while in the anime it gives no indication of her being anything other than a female. In "Saiyuki Gaiden" she is Konzen's aunt, and the one responsible for bringing Goku to heaven.   __Source:__ Saiyuki.wikia

At last, the Sanzo Party has arrived in India. In this foreign land, where the anomaly&rsquo;s influence runs rampant, their battles only heighten in their violence. 
And also awaiting them is their tragic fate from 500 years ago&mdash; 
What will they find at the end of their long and treacherous journey?

Humans and yokai, science and magic... all exist side-by-side on a peaceful continent free of all order and regulation, widely known as "Shangri-La." The balance there was shattered when the Minus Wave caused all the yokai on the continent to rampage, an event known as the "Calamity." Continuing their journey west to stop Gyumaoh's resurrection experiments, the root of all the evil on the continent, the Three Aspects are finally drawing closer to India. But the closer they get, the more pronounced the influence of the Calamity becomes, and the more intense their battles become.
