One would argue his being nice is his tragic flaw - he trusts people too much, when he's not given evidence to the contrary. Poor monkey. *hugs him* About trusting Sanzo, it's not that simple. Sanzo is right, Goku is in danger, but hey, there are also buses, cars and muggers.

Goku has a point in wanting to be on his own, after all, it's not like he started smelling so nice just because Sanzo was there. :)

No worries, I appreciate the rambles. Tells me you're thinking about the story! Thanks for reading!
