Five hundred years before Genjyo Sanzo and his band of misfits embarked on their journey west, they were gods in their previous lives, though divinity did not make them behave any more saintly. When Goku snaps into a murderous rage upon witnessing his best friend's death, Heaven has had enough and seeks his execution! Yet Konzen Douji, Field Marshal Tenpou, and General Kenren are prepared to do whatever it takes to shield Goku, even if it means turning all of Heaven against them.
