A long time ago in China, a highly virtuous monk set out on a journey to Tenjiku to retrieve a sutra. Son Gokuu was told that he would be released from the stone prison if he accompanied the monk to Tenjiku. Son Gokuu was freed from his stone prison for the first time in 500 years and set out for Tenjiku with the monks.
