Saiyuki Season 1 Episode 18 Vice or Justice

In Saiyuki season 1 episode 18, titled "Vice or Justice", the group of four travelers continue their journey and come across a town that seems to be under the control of a corrupt official. The official enforcers, who call themselves "Justice", are terrorizing the people and abusing their power. The group hears about the injustice and decides to intervene.

Upon their arrival, they meet a man named Rikudou. Rikudou is a former soldier who was once part of the "Justice". He had seen enough of the corruption and decided to leave. Rikudou seeks the help of Genjo Sanzo and his companions to stand up against the corrupt official and his enforcers.

The group learns that the official plans to execute Rikudou for desertion. The travelers try to intervene, but they soon find themselves in trouble with the enforcers. The enforcers are highly trained and are equipped with the latest technology. They have guns, grenades, and other weapons that the travelers have never seen before.

The enforcers attack the travelers, but our heroes manage to fight them off. They soon realize that the enforcers are not human, they are androids. Although the androids are highly advanced, the travelers manage to defeat them. With the androids defeated, the group makes their way to the official's mansion.

The official is a ruthless man who believes that his power gives him the right to do what he pleases. He has amassed a fortune through his corrupt dealings, and he has a personal army of android enforcers who are loyal only to him. Genjo Sanzo confronts the official and tries to reason with him, but the official refuses to listen.

The official sees Genjo Sanzo and his companions as nothing more than a nuisance. He orders his android enforcers to take them out. A fierce battle ensues between the travelers and the androids. The travelers are badly outnumbered, but they manage to hold their own.

Throughout the battle, Rikudou takes the opportunity to try to assassinate the official. The official, however, has anticipated this move. As Rikudou tries to make his way to the official, he is ambushed by another set of android enforcers.

Once again, the travelers find themselves in trouble. They are surrounded, outnumbered, and outgunned. With no other options, they retreat. They flee the town, knowing that they cannot defeat the official and his army of androids alone.

As they leave the town, the group reflects on the situation. They know that they cannot just leave the corrupt official to continue his oppressive ways. The group decides to seek the help of a powerful and mysterious woman named Kanzeon Bosatsu.

The episode ends with the travelers on the road, heading towards their next destination. They are determined to stop the corrupt official and restore justice to the town. With the help of Kanzeon Bosatsu, they believe that they can bring an end to the oppression and restore hope to the people.
