So, I'm watching Saiyuki Reload: Gunlock.  Ok, first of all, what was the animation budget for this? $5?  And when did Goku start being 12?

Anyway, I have reached the part where Yaone and Dokugaku save Kougaiji with The Power of Their Love, which may or may not be somewhere around my favorite part of the entire manga.  Stop looking at me like that.

Since I watch the anime mostly for the Kougaijitachi filler, should I watch the whole thing, or just recommended eps?  (Particularly appreciated are "These are not my friends!  They are my subordinates! And we are enemies! I do not-YAONE!  Stop talking to Hakkai! LIRIN! Get off his shoulders!" moments, because we like watching our High Strung Emotastic Woobie Prince try to be a cool villain and fabulously fail at it.  Yes, yes we do.  We await the day Hakkai invites them over for tea.)  And when is the three-armed Goku moment?  Or have I missed it?

ETA:  Wait!  Was it a three armed Goku, or everyone looking like monkeys?  I forget.

Tell me more...

I need to watch Gunlock (never got around to it) ASAP, now.

Kougaiji gets brainwashed by Nii into being a brainlss killing machine, beats Goku into a pulp. Yaone and Dokugaku were trying to find him in hopes of freeing him, but when they found him and saw how far gone he was (after realizing they probably couldn't free him, he'd have to), they chose to stay with him even though he wasn't exactly Kougaiji, and they made Speeches of Eternal Devotion and defended him from the Sanzo Ikkou. This snapped Kou out of it, he blasted the Sanzo Ikkou off a cliff and into the river, and then the 3 went to go lay the smackdown on Nii and rescue Lirin from his experiments.
