Now is the moment to take off and run.

Birds: (chirping)

Goku: (thinks) ... ...What's this- Youkai?
Zakuro: (---groans)
Wa... ... water... ---give me some
Water... ...!

-----------

Gojyo: ---Oh?
Hakkai: Thanks for the trouble. Was there water?
Gojyo: ...I say, hasn't Goku come back?

Sanzo: Did he get lost?
Gojyo: He was on the way back from getting water from the river when he went like, "I can kinda smell some fruits around~~~~" and ran the hell off.
Hakkai: Well, that's a problem.
We can't start off if the sun sets.
Sanzo: It's not like he's a kid; he should be coming back soon enough.
Gojyo: ...If he's not a kid,
Hakkai: I don't think he'd be getting himself lost over his stomach, would he now?

-----------

Goku: Is it nice?
Zakuro: Mm... I didn't realise there were fruits nearby. It's not like me to have missed them. (chew chew)
Goku: But there's a stream running nearby as well.
Stream: gushgush gush ...
Zakuro: ... ... ... ...
Goku: But why have you collapsed in such a place?
Zakuro: I didn't "collapse". I was ensnared in the convolutions of this deep forest.

Goku: So, you got lost?
Zakuro: ...d, don't be so direct... ...
Nevertheless, I must thank you for your help, young man.
Goku: Speaking of which---
You said you're looking for some people- What kind of people are they?
Zakuro: Mmh... ... yes,
You can say they're my "longtime adversaries".
An Unspeakably Atrocious Gang that time and time again condemns my brethrens to their deaths.
I must seek them out as soon as I can, and doom them to their graves with my very own hands!

Goku: They're bad guys?
Zakuro: Aa, a terrifying group.
I too challenged them to a fight once, to round them all up at one go.
But at the very last possible moment, they slipped away with their tails between their legs.
They must have been terrified of my power.
Goku: Hehhhh---
Well then you must be really strong!
Zakuro: Fu... I'm all right.
After all, when one speaks of Zakuro-sama the Conjuror of Illusion, it is not without a fair amount of recognition.
Goku: ... ... "Zakuro"...?

Goku: What a delicious-sounding name!   [note: "zakuro" means "pomegranate" in Japanese]
F/X: Ahahahaha
Zakuro: Fuhahahaha
You're an interesting one, boy!
What's your name?
Goku: Me? I'm Go...
Youkai: ---What's this? What the hell are the two of you doing in this place?

Youkai: Youkai with... a human kid?
What a strange pair.
Goku: ...What is it you want.
Youkai: That youkai there's an unfamiliar face. You from elsewhere?
This forest's our territory.
Leave at once,
If you don't wanna get hurt. heheh
Goku?: ...What did you say?
Youkai: ---No, wait.

Youkai: Leave that kid here.
He looks delicious.
F/X: Nyoibo forming.
Goku: I know I love to eat,
but I don't quite like the idea of being... (F/X: Zakuro covers him.) !!

Goku: Za... Zakuro?
Zakuro: Run, boy.
Allow me to return you the favour of saving me. (fu.)
---How absurdly ridiculous it is to pick a fight with me Zakuro-sama!
...But have you lot
"The guts to look me straight in the eye?"
Youkai: What... ... what did you say?

Zakuro: How's this... (F/X: Kiiii)
Youkai: ---Ugh!
---!!? Wha...
What's this place?!!

Youkai: What's going on here?!
Zakuro: Fuhahahahaha
You're trapped now, fools!
You'll never extract yourselves from this world unless you defeat me!
Goku: Uwah--- What's with this place---!!
F/X: boggle
Zakuro: ~~~~What are -you- doing here?!!
Goku: Well 'cos you said "look in my eyes".
Zakuro: Nobody asked -you- to go and look---!!
Youkai: I don't know what's goin' on, but the important thing's to defeat you isn't it?!

Zakuro: Imbeciles! Do you really think you can defeat me?! With those---
"Dripping melted weapons"!!!
F/X: Slushy...
Youkai: !!? (ack...)
What the hell is this?!!
Goku: ~~~~Uwah- This is disgusting!
Nyoibo: Limpy.
Zakuro: What's the matter, are you getting scared already?
Those jagged hissing flames from the surrounding candles...

"Are spreading to your clothes"!!
F/X: Bursts into flames.
Youkai: Tch!!
U... uwaaaah!? (F/X: in flames) It burns!!
Zakuro: Well now, why not we "have the blaze spread at full blast"!?
Because at any rate, that fire will...
"Never burn out till it's blazed down each and everything"!!
Youkai: Ca... Can't put it out!!
Help meeee!!
Goku: H-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-HOT (smouldersmoulder)
Zakuro: ~~~~I'm not talking to you!! Cover your ears!

Youkai: So... So that's it... ...
Oi, this is just an illusion!
Don't believe what he says!
Zakuro: ---Ch'   What a nuisance...!
Goku: ~~I really don't understand all this,
But can't we just defeat them with strength?!
Zakuro: !? Oi... ...   Wait, boy!!

Zakuro: Your weapon---
"Has returned to you"!!
F/X: Nyoibo forms.
Youkai: It's a "barrier"!
"We have a barrier in front of us"!!
Goku: ---That sorta thing...

"I'll smash it to pieces!!"
F/X: Cracking.

Youkai: (hit) Ghah!!
Zakuro: Look! What you're flying off towards is---
"A cliff"!
F/X: Emptiness.
"Hurtling headfirst into a plunging cliff"!!
F/X: Ominous...

"U o a   a     a     a      a           ah"

F/X: Scenery switches back.
Youkai: (groans...)

Zakuro: Not bad at all, young lad.
Goku: Sankyu na.
Zakuro: What?
Goku: For trying to save me.
Gojyo: ---Oi, look'ere,
Where dya go, bakazaru---!!
Goku: Ah, it's Sanzo and the rest.
Zakuro: ...Fu. I'm just doing what is right to do...
Goku: O------i   Over heeere------

Gojyo: Don't give me an "over heeere"! You were gone for like how long!
Hakkai: Did something happen?...   Ah.
Gojyo: Ain't that Mr. One-Man Circus?
Sanzo: ...What are you two doing together?
Zakuro: Eh? Eh?
Sa... Sanzo-ikkou!!
Whawhawhawhawhat's the meaning of this?!
Youkai: ... ...I... I see, you two are...
Sanzo-ikkou's accomplice... ...!!

Zakuro: ---Wha
Sanzo: Aa, that's right. (F/X: Plays stupid.)
Hakkai: Won't you please inform your other friends too?
Kanji: Devil.
Hakkai: That Zakuro-san has switched allegiance to the Sanzo-ikkou.
Youkai: ~~~~Dammit, you traitor!
We'll fucking remember you!!

Zakuro: Oi---   Wait... ...
Wait a momeeent-----!!
Goku: ... ... Wha?
Gojyo: (Heeee----- heehee heehee) What a spaz---!!
