I didn't know, no! :D Saiyuki's order has always confused me; I didn't really understand how Reload fit in, just bought the volume that just came out because it came out after v9 did.

Maybe a mini-rage. I mean, new life and all; he wouldn't want to push his luck. Also, I doubt that Gojyo means quite as much to him as Kanan did. He would have sealed off his heart to some extent after, and she wasn't just a girlfriend, but family, his blood, and pretty much all he had, yeah? Whereas now he has Goku & Sanzo also, sort of.
