Hō-ō (鳳凰編 hō-ō-hen) The fifth volume, originally serialized in 19691970. The story occurs in 720752 AD (the period in which the Daibutsu of Todaiji was built), during the Nara period. One-eyed and one-armed young man Gao, an ancestor of Saruta, turns into a murderous bandit when he is rejected by his village. He attacks a sculptor, Akanemaru, and the two men's paths diverge, but their fates remain linked. Akanemaru becomes obsessed with the Phoenix to the point that he loses sight of his original dreams, while Gao eventually finds a state of grace despite his continuing hardships. Hō-ō is widely considered the masterpiece of the Phoenix series.[1] MSX and Famicom video games, both developed by Konami, were based on this volume. The Viz (English) edition is entitled "Karma".
