Hikaru no Go Chapter 9 Discussion

Hikaru exhibits his natural aptitude for the game. He's a natural talent. Sai finally begins to understand why his soul chose Hikaru. How will that effect the way Hikaru uses Sai from here on out?

more hikaru's growing, great

                        Haha as expected, no Slam Dunk's Mitsui arc. Instead we're immediately jumping to the action part.



Hikaru seems to be a quick learner or at least his interest and motivation are stronger than he cares to admit.



With someone who knows him being part of this tournament, the tradition of Hikaru winning the matches but ultimately being disqualified due to him misbehaving or breaking the rules, is repeated!  

I find this very interesting since it admittedly would be unfair for him to win tournaments etc. by completely relying on Sai.



I assume he will have to be taught by Sai first or he might need to have some sort changed attitude towards Go in order to make it more "acceptable" when he relies on Sai for winning professional matches or being awarded in the form of prize money (or a good reputation for that matter)
