Episode 93 - The Mysterious Pervert Monk Who Comes and Goes
The group wanders into a village only to be halted by a group of villagers weilding hoes. In a rather sad showing, the group actually turns tail and runs away from the angry mob, who seem to be angry with Miroku. Sitting around the campfire that night, no one is sure of what Miroku did to anger the villagers. That night Miroku dreams of gallavanting with a group of women. The next day they wander into another nearby village and recieve the same welcome as the previous day. This time Miroku is tied up and the villagers begin to berate him. In flashbacks it shows Miroku selling crummy sutras to them that look like chicken scrawl on plain paper. When asked to exorcise a demon from a home, Miroku sets down his rice bowl slaps the sutra on the wall, mumbles, claps and then goes back to eating. That night he danced with all the women while the men sat by watching in frustration. Now everything that he sold them had turned to leaves. Miroku soon realizes what must have happened when the gang finds out he was supposed to go slay a demon in a cave outside of town. They rush to the cave only to find Miroku already there. The Miroku at the cave seems to talk big, but won't unleash his air rip on the weasel demon and seems to try to talk it into submission rather than kill it. After the weasel hits Miroku a few times he starts to look a little worse for wear. All of a sudden Miroku is short, and fat had has a large raccoon talk sticking out of his back. The real Miroku steps in and saves the phoney who turns out to be Hatchiemon, Miroku's tanuki partner. As Miroku chastises Hachiemon and then whispers something to him. Suddenly Hachiemon turns into Miroku again and the two run in a little circle ducking and hiding behind each other until no one is sure who is who. Then off to the village they happily run to meet the girls again.
