I appreciate you putting the colour coding in this - I know who all these characters are, but I often look at secrets with multiple people in the picture and multiple characters named, and wish I knew at least who's who.
Also, I agree: Sanzo/Goku = Nope

Thanks! Their assigned colors do make things very convenient.

I never liked the Sanzo/Goku ship either, for much ofnthe same reasons (I also found Goku too annoying to ship him with anyone). I personally was more of a Sanzo/Hakkai shipper but that was a pretty lonely ship to be on.

I could see that, especially since they usually end up playing "mom and dad" when the other two are being obnoxious.

(and I absolutely adore Goku, but I also don't ship him with anyone, either. He's grown up a lot but I don't think he's there quite yet, past a crush or two and an apparent appreciation for muscles.)

I'm always easily annoyed by the overexcited type of characters so it's not the characters fault, just a preference. Goku is a fun character and he isn't annoying all the time, definitely not.

I haven't read/watched any Saiyuki in a long time and it was never my favourite Minekura series but... now I kinda want to get back into it haha.

Yeah on the NOTP. I mean, I don't really ship Goku with anyone, he just doesn't feel like the type for that, (maybe Kougaiju, at a push), but Goku/Sanzo has that extra edge of 'adoptive family' that I want to steer away from.

Hakkai and Sanzo were my fandom bicycles in Saiyuki. The other two I didn't ship anywhere near as much. Or really at all, in Goku's case.

Seconding the "maybe Kougaiji" just because I think the "hey, it's our friends!" "we're not friends!!!" dynamic is cute

Goku/Kougaiji would be the most obscure ship, haven't seen many fanworks for them.

I've seen some cute fanart, but it's very rare.

i feel you OP, i love adopted families and the idea of shipping those is always a huge NOTP for me, can't do it and never will.

Team GojyoHakkai foreverrrrr.

HELLL YEEAHHHH!

Yep, all the way!

yesssss I love them

I ship them though I see where the OPis coming from. I actually like some teacher/student ships, like Scum Villain, or those fics where Harry adopts Riddle. I mean Goku has lived for a thousand years so he's not really a kid. I like him more grown up in fic anyway.

It's less about his age for me, since he is an adult for most of the series and Sanzo's only 5 years older than him, and more just the nature of their relationship, as close as it is, strikes me as much more familial than anything else.

Oh man, THANK YOU. I can't STAND that pairing at all and I hate how prevalent it is because I feel like it totally ignores all of the very canon things that you point out. Their relationship is so clearly set up as being a parental/mentor one that I just have this visceral "ugh no" whenever I think about shipping them.

AHHHH GOJYO/HAKKAI MY BABIES

I could NEVER get into Sanzo/Goku, tbh, so...

just dropping in to say it delights me to see all the Gojyo/Hakkai love in this thread

i mean

they're basically married

Meanwhile, I can't stand Hakkai/Gojyo and OTP Sanzo/Goku.

Cool! Why?

I never shipped them, either, and annoyingly they're often a background pairing in Gojyo/Hakkai fic. Though I do like a bit of Sanzo/Gojyo or Sanzo/Gojyo/Hakkai, when the fic really takes the time to show the process of Sanzo getting comfortable with touch and with the idea of having sex. (That said, however, Gojyo/Hakkai is my forever fave Saiyuki ship.)

I could see that!
