help Saiyuuki Reload: Burial FAQ

When does Saiyuuki Reload: Burial take place in the Saiyuuki timeline?

Burial is a prequel that explores the quartet's lives before the main journey west. Its stories provide background for Genjo Sanzo, Son Goku, Sha Gojyo, and Cho Hakkai rather than continuing the ending of Saiyuuki Reload.

What does each Burial OVA focus on?

The three installments cover Sanzo's past with his master Koumyou, Sanzo's first encounter with the imprisoned Goku, and the events that connect Gojyo and Hakkai. Together they explain how the future traveling companions first entered one another's lives.

Who is Ukoku in Saiyuuki Reload: Burial?

Ukoku Sanzo appears in the material concerning Koumyou Sanzo and is tied to the larger mystery surrounding Ni Jianyi. Burial gives this relationship more context than viewers receive when meeting Ni in the main television storyline.

Do I need to watch Saiyuuki Reload before Burial?

The OVA's events occur earlier, but they are written with established viewers and existing character relationships in mind. Watching Gensoumaden Saiyuuki and Saiyuuki Reload first makes the revelations about Sanzo, Goku, Gojyo, and Hakkai more meaningful.
