Nii is bisexual! I think we really all might've had the teensiest inkling about this anyway, but athena8 very kindly translated the bit in Saiyuubito where he says so, in typically charming manner. Minekura also says some really adorable things about Gojyo and also really astonishing things about how she plots, like at the last minute! I don't know why I'm so shocked by that, but I kind of am.

Anyway, besides being astonished, being able read what she thinks about her characters just makes me very very happy.

It's just so good to get information like this from her, it feels like Christmas or something.

I don't think Gojyo is at all stupid either, but maybe he just looks that way from certain perspectives! He has more emotional intelligence than the others and he's very sharp otherwise he'd probably be a really terrible gambler.

He lets his emotions overcome his better judgement sometimes and I don't think he's as educated as the others, but that's hardly stupid. He's the one who organized the retreat after their defeat by Kami-sama, too.

Yeah, he seems to be the last man standing a fairly good percentage of the time, which I think is interesting.

As far as his stupidity, I think its a means of concealment for him, like his hair. I don't think Sanzo even really thinks he's stupid, despite calling him a moron, but I can see why his behavior would be utterly exasperating to someone as rational (and rigid) as Sanzo.

Oh, definitely, it's a shield. I think Sanzo thinks he's as stupid as everyone else is, possibly himself included, so...no, not stupid, really.
