[edit] Manga ending

The manga then ends cyclically, with Sai's ghost once again asking "can you hear my voice?

I don't think that's what necessarily happened... I find the ending intentionally vague: it doesn't have to be Sai that comes back as a ghost. It might as well be Hikaru - in fact it would make perfect sense: remember that part where Sai thinks to himself that in the long path to the Hand of God he existed for the sole purpose of helping Hikaru get closer to it and in turn Hikaru exists to help someone else? I'm not changing the article until I hear other people's thoughts on this though... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.205.213.20 (talk • contribs) 18:32, August 10, 2006 (UTC-6)

Maybe that whole part should be taken out...sounds like original research to me.-Giant89 03:34, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

It is likely that (unverified, from Chinese articles found on the web) the comic enraged the Korean fans. To settle the matter, the comic publisher let Japan lose all rounds instead of having all three countries have equal result, and suspended the comic production altogether. 218.186.8.11 17:07, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

If that's true, it's lame as heck. That just makes it so Hikaru is really just a loser without Sai, which makes the anime ending better, since the future is unknown. 63.198.192.181 19:58, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree-Hikaru no Go is a pathetic anime series, and I'm baffled that it actually made a hit. What a boring story! Hikaru's talent is accidental and out of reality-without "Sai" there is no story. ChockStock 22:06, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merges

Several merge tags have been added to character pages. I think these character pages are long enough to have their own articles. --Squilibob 07:28, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Please review guidelines for the inclusion of fictional articles and wikipedia's style guide for writing on fiction. They do not meet the notability criteria for separate fictional articles. There is no encyclopedic treatment and the summaries are not consise and they do not break the size guidelines just yet. The only reason I didn't merge right away is that the cast list section also needs to be merged into the characters section per anime guidelines. --Kunzite 12:04, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Squilibob. We should put at least 3 main characters to separate articles and I do think that each char has enough info as long as we summerise and mention all the events through the slot span. If not, it would be unfair for them. Let's make an example of Naruto. Even very minor char appearing only 3 or 4 chapters or char with very little appearance in the story have their own articles.
