That's such a good point about Hakkai. I tihnk he does need that acceptance, and that's where his vulnerability lies. Physically and mentally he arguably be could be stronger than any of them, but when it comes to his emotions I wonder if he's in control of them at all. I think he relies on Gojyo to point him in the right direction, emotionally, to stop him from going wrong.

I think Sanzo could fall in love too. There's an interesting battle between Sanzo's hardheadedness and his emotional vulnerability, which we especially see when he is thinking of Koumyou.
