Bosatsu, Kanzeon

観世音菩薩

She is one of the five great Bodhisattvas residing in heaven, tasked with administering mercy and compassion. However, she is depicted as a vulgar, sexy, hermaphroditic Bodhisattva who flashes her breasts. This is the figure who ordered Sanzou Ikkou to journey to the west. While it may appear that she enjoys sending various trials to Sanzou and the others, she has devoted her heart and soul to watching over the lives of Goku and the others for the past 500 years. In Gaiden, she demonstrates enough natural power to knock out Goku after he transforms into the Seiten Taisei. She might actually be the strongest. The manga portrays her as a hermaphrodite, whereas the anime gives no indication of her being anything other than female. In Saiyuki Gaiden, she is Konzen's aunt and the one responsible for bringing Goku to heaven.
