Having been assigned by the human elders the mission of stopping a mystical plague that has afflicted the Youkai with madness, Genjyo Sanzo assembles his team of Youkai warriors, desperately hoping that the disease will not affect them. He sets up qualifying tests that will help him determine the loyalty and worth of Cho Hakkai, Son Goku and Sha Gojyo. The team then journeys west to rid the land of madness.

In the midst of battle with the cursed human, Rikudo impales Sanzo while he tries to protect Goku. In the melee, Goku's Youkai power limiter, the device that keeps his Youkai madness from taking over his soul, shatters, sending Goku into a violent rampage that yields for neither friend nor foe. It may take divine intervention to bring the ancient warrior back to his senses!

The sizzling-hot sequel to the hit manga series that topped the charts begins right here! The boys are back...and they're badder and hotter than ever! The Minus Wave that apparently drove all the youkai in the land mad looks like it might have missed one, as Sanzo, Gojyo, Hakkai and Goku meet a lone guardian and the band of children for which he cares. Fear and misunderstanding run throughout this leg of the journey--and even Sanzo's party is not immune!
