Hi dear,

I'm here to explain why i've canceled your edit on Konzen's page. (Sorry if my english is a bit confuse).

Sanzô has indeed inherited a part of the divine power of his past self, as seen when he makes a new limiter for Goku. This divine power is probably attached to his soul, not his human/mortal body. However, i think this theory of Sanzô having inherited Konzen's superhuman (physical) strength shouldn't be mentioned here because there is too many moments in the original story which tend to prove the contrary. The fact that he has been able to ward off Seiten Taisei can easily be explained by his physical ressemblance with Konzen and the emotionnal state of Seiten Taisei at these times which allowed him to benefit a 'surprise effect' on the youkai ( in vol.6, Seiten marked a halt and stared at him fixedly, lengthily, without attacking before he came to him when Sanzô said so but was it really to attack him ? We'll never know. Sanzô took his chance to attack first and Seiten was clearly surprised. He didn't expected Sanzô to do so. Seiten attacked him back but couldn't really hurt him because he looks like Konzen and Sanzô took his chance to attack him again.). So the surprise effect and emotional state of Seiten allowed Sanzô to ward off him and put on his limiter, but he don't seem to have inherited of a superhuman strength. He uses a long range weapon 'cause, despite of all his knowledge in martial arts, strong mind and physical resistance which allow him to endure physical pain and harsh circumstances better than a normal human do, he's still a human and he lacks of physical strength to be a match for strong youkais. He can hurt a youkai with his fist in one stroke, briefly,  but he can't handle a complete fight against youkais without a weapon (gun, katana...) and that's why he need the heavy strength of Goku, Gojyo and Hakkai (especially Goku who is said by Minekura to be the heavy brute strength of the crew) to complement him in this dangerous journey. He sometimes use his physical strength in fights when he has no choice but he mainly employs his gun and leaves physical part of the fight to the three others. If he had a superhuman strength, to name exemples, he would have been able to beat Ukoku (who is a strong human but a human anyway) in 'even a worm'  or deal with Gojyo when the han-you immobilized him on the ground by his strength without the need of calling Goku for help when they first met in front of Gojyo's house. He holds out against Kougaiji in Blast vol.2 thanks to his resistance to pain and his sense of dodge but he is nevertheless dominated because of this lack of physical strength. To conclude, i will add we never saw Sanzô blow up a wall with his fist like Goku or Kougaiji did ( He would probably break all the bones of his hand if he do so, haha ​. ) That's why i think your modification is more a personal theory and shouldn't appear on the wiki. :)
