I know Goku mentions Sanzo is 'Like a dad', but that doesn't mean he is, just that Sanzo acts like one (old man Sanzo, haha). Plus it forces the relationship of 'Father/Son' instead of leaving it open ended, which kind of sucks for fans of the 393 pairing to have to see their ship being dismissed on a big wiki for Saiyuki. Besides, when Goku is 35 and Sanzo is 40, the idea of 'father/son' seems very strange. Koumyou as a father makes sense, he was much, much older than Kouryuu. Konzen as a father also makes sense because Goku was a kid and Konzen was in his 20s. Sanzo's only 5 years older than Goku. Guardian definitely fits, even though I think Goku's grown out of the need for a guardian. Just my two cents.

I tried to talk about this matter to the administrator but she don't seem to understand what i say (or perhaps my english is indeed very bad). I asked her why she has cancelled my modification (Father > Guardian) and locked up Sanzô's profile page. She told me to read the japanese raws... I replied i can't read japanese and asked her to tell me when/where exactly in the books Sanzô has recognized Gokû as his adoptive son so i can admit i'm wrong about this and have been fooled by the english/french translation of the books, but she keeps contourning my question with her explanations about the policies and rules for citations and i'm just... Well, nevermind. You can give a try if you want but i'm tired about this, i abandon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
