{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|A Tokyoite who is the guild master of the Asakusa Gurus. He is blessed with an extremely good physique, and many monsters and demons try to eat him. There's even a rumor flying around that "those who eat him will become immortal." He is the weakest person at the delinquent school, but somehow rose to the top due to a misunderstanding of those around him. Despite his good physique, he can't hit anyone and has no talent for fighting. He laments that every time he does something, he is misunderstood more and more, and his actions are restricted accordingly. Since he is expecting a child, he always carries a "petition to drop out of school." However, thanks to the persuasion and support of his classmates, he still hasn't quit. The power that his scriptures possess is the opposite of a "Rule" that allows someone to do something. Rather, it sets rules that "you cannot do something." For example, you cannot hurt someone, you cannot steal, you cannot commit a crime, etc. His faith also represents a "Journey to the Paradise to the West" as opposed to "Expulsion from the Paradise to the East."}} | |||

{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|His Sacred Artifact is his folded scriptures. It's said to have the power of inviolability, prohibiting anything written within. In addition to the original text, Sanzo adds more characters, which adds more restrictions. Anyone who breaks them, whether by force or by another, will be bound by rings of light. Because of this Sacred Artifact, Sanzo is unintentionally forbidden from engaging in any action, including violence. This was originally a rule that allowed humans to become "Buddhas" rather than "Gods." "Gods" are omniscient and omnipotent, unable to add anything more, which is the positive limit. On the other hand, "Buddhas" have eliminated earthly desires and can no longer take anything, which is the negative limit. And "Buddhas," as the founder is said to have done, reproduce in a way that is different from other humans. Since he has already imposed "prohibitions" on himself, they cannot be overwritten by others. Apparently, he regards the teacher at Umamichi Academy, which he attends, as his master, as he knows a lot about what is forbidden.}} | |||
