Because Prince Nataku had awakened after five hundred years and was the original person to defeat Gyumaou, Sanzo and his party were relieved of continuing their journey west.

Sanzo was badly hurt after his battle with Kougaiji and was still asleep three days later. However, Sharak and Sanzo then received a message summoning them to have an audience with the Sanbutsushin...

Continuing west, the Sanzo party are climbing a nearly vertical cliff face. During their cruel rock climbing, a band of demons attack. The party fends off the demons and reaches the top, only to be greeted by numerous vultures.

Hinako is unsure what to do now that she remembers who Kira is. Will Hinako continue her attempt to take the school over?

The other top second-year student, Rintarou Kira, seems to know Hinako's real identity. How does he know, and what will it mean for her conquest of Shishiku Academy?

Mirako's disgust at the concept of friendship has Hinako curious, and after hearing about his troubled past from Kira, she decides to help him.

One of the two top second-years, Yuta Mirako, is both an idol and a brawler. An upcoming concert at Shishiku Academy brings him into conflict with Hinako.

With her control over the first-years secured Konparu and Totomaru head to Hinako's house for a study session to prepare for mid-terms.

Konparu has sent a letter of challenge to Hinako and is now out for her blood. Why is he suddenly ready to fight her? And can Hinako win the fight when she learns the truth?

Hinako reaches the next hurdle in her quest to take over Shishiku Academy: Takayuki Konparu. The only problem? The steely first-year has no interest in fighting her!

Hinako is now cross-dressing in order to attend the extremely roughneck Shishiku Academy as Hikaru Onigashima. How exactly did she get into this mess?

When Hinako Nakayama took on the identity of Hikaru Onigashima, she didn't know what it would mean for her future. Now, with the support of the friends she's made with her martial arts skills, it's time to prove who's the boss of Shishiku Academy!

Rumors are starting to spread about Hinako's true identity, and if something isn't done soon to quiet them, she risks her own school turning against her. Luckily, she can still rely on her friends.

Kira seems to know who Hinako really is, and wants her to give up her conquest of the school. It seems the only way for her to convince him otherwise is to fight him... and win.

Hinako Nakayama is an orphan and a martial arts expert, who was living her life in a fuzzy haze when she finds herself attending a new school. While the new outlook she gets from her new surroundings is great, there's a few problems: 1) Its an all-boys school 2) Its student body is nearly 100% punks who are ready to brawl at a moment's notice and 3) She's attending under an assumed identity that ensures the toughest are all going to be gunning for her!

Warrior of the Ram, Hitsujii, is a legendary warrior and previous winner of the 9th Juni Taisen. He was an arms merchant who also made his name on the battlefield, but at the time, his one wish was to see his grandchild's face. In this new Taisen, Hitsujii ranks the other warriors by their ability and plots a scheme using the poison Juseki crystal, which he somehow managed not to swallow.

Warrior of the Rabbit, Usagi, is a Necromantist, who makes other warriors into his "friends." Warrior of the Ox, Ushii, and Warrior of the Tiger, Tora, end up facing off against two of these "friends," the Tatsumi Brothers. As they prepare for the battle, Tora, who holds a grudge against Ushii, thinks back to her days spent searching for righteousness.

The Warrior of the Dragon, elder of the Tatsumi Brothers, is a superficially arrogant but cool-headed warrior who acts as commander in his collaborations with his brother. Using his "Heaven's Holding" ability to remain in the air, he watches over Snake, now a "Walking Dead," waiting for his own chance to join in the battle. While he does so, he thinks back on a trial that they became subject to as a result of their actions on a different battlefield.

The Warrior of the Snake, younger of the Tatsumi Brothers, is a dangerous individual who would have become a pyromaniac if he hadn't become a warrior. On their way to the Juni Taisen, he remembers the day his brother saved his life, just after learning that only one of them would survive the ordeal. Then, as they arrive at the starting venue, the warrior Usagi approaches them, asking them to become his friends...

Warrior of the Horse, Uuma, has trained his physical body to its limits to acquire the ultimate defensive technique, "Stirrup." But his confidence in that ability faltered during his meeting with the Warrior of the Ox, which ended poorly for him. Uuma barricades himself in a bank fault, thinking he can win if he waits out the time limit... but an intruder casts doubt on that goal.
