Talk:Genjo Sanzo

Should we put in the background that Sanzo's parents Kouran died from illness and his father just disappeared?

Asexual.
I seem to remember in the manga Sanzo saying on multiple occasions that he dislikes women. I'll save this here for when I reread it for citation-finding purposes. I think he's just straight-up asexual. Doesn't help that the first person he ever killed tried to rape him.


 * Hello http://saiyuki.wikia.com/wiki/User:Likalaruku, I dont even saw, read or even in Minekura's official words have heard her describe Genjo Sanzo as asexual.  Mostly these terms are used by fans and is to the point can be describe as an opinion. In this wiki we dont use theories, opinions and rumors to build up the site, little by little we are purging the wiki from scratch so that new viewers or readers wont misunderstood this manga.

Sanzo's Age?
Hi- so I have known of the  series "Saiyuki" for awhile now thanks to a friend-but have only recently started getting really into it.

I'm still learning a bit about the characters and was surprised to read Sanzo is 40- is that true? Or just some running joke about his attitude? I've seriously thought until now that he was closer to the same age as Hakkai and Gojyo- was I mistaken? If so then how bloody old does that make Nii Jiyani he's like twice Sanzo's age. 0.0  Fall3nD011 (talk) 12:05, December 28, 2015 (UTC)

He is not in 40's!!! Apparently a fool changed it into 40s. >_> (Nana Aoi666 (talk) 12:17, February 13, 2016 (UTC))

Sanzo's role for Goku
I feel like Sanzo shouldn't have Goku listed as 'Adopted Son'

Guardian is on Goku's page. I see Goku referred to as 'Charge' which means in the care of another. Sanzo was 18 when he found Goku, so he acts more as an older guardian. He may act like an old man but he's only 5 years older than Goku.

I have seen this cause a lot of confusion and would like this to be a less bias term, please.


 * In response to the above concern, I am very much in agreement. 'Adopted Son' has no basis in fact. I think it could be argued that Goku is not really a 'relative' of Sanzo at all. Will change to guardian for the time-being, but the topic is open for discussion. (Article is no longer locked and editing has been enabled) Havenaught (talk) 22:32, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
