Personality
Saru is described as being a mixture between a joker and a gentleman. He is polite when talking to others, often saying please and thank you during conversation. He is modest about his powerful abilities and when gets praise he does not show off or boast his power, he rather thanks his complimentor or tells them that they are giving him to much credit.
