Even after the game that Hikaru plays with Isumi, I find 'Sai is in my Go' very very sad because its not Sai as a person, but just the idea of handing on teaching.
I was kind of blown away by the dream sequence at the end of vol 17 because its so beautiful and sad and at the same time theres Hikaru just being himself.
For me it symbolised both the handing on of knowledge and of arriving at independence. This said Hikaru is only 14/15 and that's pretty young, both to become independent and to experience something so extreme.
