About: Hikaru no Go/WMG   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

His go skills are from being a borderline idiot savant, possibly a mild autism combined with OCD that allows him to see the patterns on the board and advance in skill with surprising speed. Sai is a hallucination that he made up based on a book that referenced Shusaku Hon'inbo and other go prodigies (also why nobody ever saw the blood on the board, and how he noticed the signature was a forgery).

abstract
  • His go skills are from being a borderline idiot savant, possibly a mild autism combined with OCD that allows him to see the patterns on the board and advance in skill with surprising speed. Sai is a hallucination that he made up based on a book that referenced Shusaku Hon'inbo and other go prodigies (also why nobody ever saw the blood on the board, and how he noticed the signature was a forgery). * * I believe that Hikaru's Disappeared Dad was a "Well Done, Son" Guy who pounded it into Hikaru's head that boys are supposed to like "real" sports; an "old man's game" like Go would have been completely unacceptable. Sai's personality (deadly serious when playing Go, but Cloudcuckoolander otherwise) is the parts of Hikaru that he's been repressing because he desperately wants to be normal. He's in such deep denial about Sai being part of his personality that he has a Heroic BSOD when Sai "disappears". * Well, there is at least one point in the series where Hikaru is told that there is no record whatsoever of a Go Master named Sai, even though information about other Go luminaries from his time period are recorded in detail.
