{{nihongo|'''''Saiyuki Reload: Zeroin'''''|最遊記RELOAD -ZEROIN-|Saiyūki Reload Zeroin}} is a remake to [[Saiyuki Reload Gunlock]] and the fifth season of the ''[[Saiyuki (manga)|Saiyuki]]'' anime television series adapted from the manga of ''[[Saiyuki Reload]]'' by [[Kazuya Minekura]] and produced by [[Liden Films]].

''Saiyuki Reload: Zeroin'', will cover the manga's "Even a Worm" arc. For a long time, humans and youkai  have learned to coexist in peace within Shangri-La, the earthly paradise. However, under the influence of powerful negative waves generated by mysterious black magic, the youkai became bloodthirsty monsters and started attacking and devouring humans. This dangerous magic is used for a particularly dark purpose: to resurrect Gyumaoh, the Bull Demon King. In order to thwart this plan and to save humanity from violent slaughter, the goddess Kanzeon Bosatsu decides to send Genjo Sanzo and his three disciples: Son Goku, Sha Gojyo and Cho Hakkai, to the west, in the hope that they prevent Gyumaoh from rising once again.

It is directed by Misato Takada, with [[Michiko Yokote]] and Aya Matsui writing the series' scripts, Noriko Ogura designing the characters and serving as chief animation director, and Yūsuke Shirato composing the music. The main cast members reprised their roles.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-01-10/saiyuki-manga-even-a-worm-arc-gets-tv-anime-by-liden-films/.168254|title=Saiyuki Manga's 'Even a Worm' Arc Gets TV Anime by Liden Films|date=January 10, 2021|publisher=[[Anime News Network]]|access-date=January 10, 2021|language=|url-status=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230404035155/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-01-10/saiyuki-manga-even-a-worm-arc-gets-tv-anime-by-liden-films/.168254|archive-date=April 4, 2023}}</ref> It aired from January 6 to March 31, 2022, on [[AT-X (TV network)|AT-X]], [[Tokyo MX|Tokyo MX1]], [[Nippon BS Broadcasting|BS11]] consist of 13 episodes.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-08-29/saiyuki-reload-zeroin-anime-1st-full-video-unveils-more-cast-january-debut/.176777|title=Saiyuki Reload -ZEROIN- Anime's 1st Full Video Unveils More Cast, January Debut |date=August 29, 2021|publisher=[[Anime News Network]]|access-date=August 29, 2021|language=|url-status=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230405092557/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-08-29/saiyuki-reload-zeroin-anime-1st-full-video-unveils-more-cast-january-debut/.176777|archive-date=April 5, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-11-29/saiyuki-reload-zeroin-anime-promo-videos-reveal-january-6-premiere/.180093|title=Saiyuki Reload -ZEROIN- Anime's Promo Videos Reveal January 6 Premiere |date=November 29, 2021|publisher=[[Anime News Network]]|access-date=November 29, 2021|language=|url-status=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230402120752/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-11-29/saiyuki-reload-zeroin-anime-promo-videos-reveal-january-6-premiere/.180093|archive-date=April 2, 2023}}</ref>
