Sanzo stays behind at the inn, while Hakkai, Gojyo, and Goku go out to get supplies. While they're out, the three are confronted, as is Sanzo back at the inn, by exact copies of themselves, and are soon attacked! All four end up at the inn, and face off against their copies. After learning that the puppet-master who created them awakened them the day before, the Sanzo party have no trouble defeating them, stating that they, "won't ever be defeated by the me of yesterday."
