snarpBefore bed last night I was considering my vague dissatisfaction with Saiyuki, and my feeling that it was not going anywhere quickly. My subconscious mind solved this by forcing its narrative into a rigid plot-token-intensive infrastructure. Apparently there are four angels, with six magical guardians each - and they have some relationship to suits of cards, I think? Just to make all this even more codified - and Sanzo is one of the angels, Hazel is another, and a third is a little girl who looks vaguely like Flonne from Disgaea, except it was clear that she was doomed to die tragically.
Considering this logically, Kougaiji is probably the fourth angel - I don't think it's Ni, because he is Not A Team Player. But basically, they will all have to gather up the remainder of their teams of magical guardians for a final battle, and that's where the plot movement's going to be.
"There," says my brain triumphantly. "I fixed it!"
Brain, listen. The current make-up of Team Sanzo is obviously geometrically perfect. You did not fix it.
