I love Sai! <3 I find Sai to be a lot more engaging than a lot of the characters in the Narutoverse because he's exactly what I see as an archetype young Shinobi. He was an individual completely devoted to his duty and was unable to see the value in emotions. He truthfully epitomized the darkness of the Shinobi world and their upbringing all with a callous smile. But then, his gradual character transformation over the series and with his acceptance of friendship really brought back to me the fact that Naruto isn't a series about just "ninja", it's about the bonds those ninja have made over the course of their lifetimes. That, and who doesn't love a badass artist!
