INTRODUCTION:
===============


Hi there everybody, how are you doing!? hope you are fine... I've decided this time to post a thread about Saint Seiya, as we all know Saint Seiya is one of the most popular animes around the world... Saint Seiya The Hades saga is the best saga in entire Saint Seiya History, the OAV contains 13 episodes for Sancutry chapter then there will be more episodes for the Hades world (Underworld) chapter but yet nothing confirmed... Well I saw the 13 OVAs and what I can say... Well it's just the greatest OVA I've ever seen, I am not saying it because it's Saint Seiya but because it's really a very good show really... Saint Seiya started out in 1986 as a manga by Masami Kurumada and published in Shonen Jump, and have been reprinted in book form by Shonen as well. In October of 1986 Saint Seiya showed up on Japanese TV as an animated series produced by Toei Doga... Also Kuramada published the Saint Seiya Hades Manga as well but now after years of waiting and waiting, Now they finally animated this great manga and brought as the OVA Saint Seiya Hades: Chapter Sanctuary in 13 OVAs, that was really just like a dream to Saint Seiya's fans but luckily they animated the Hades Manga... well guys I wanna say that I took some informations from some French, Italian, English, Spanish's web sites related to Saint Seiya so thanks refers to them, also thanks refers to Silver Dragon for the characters story I learned their story and edited or took some words from here and there to collect the characters' story and proiles... You can find alot of informations about Saint Seiya in many Saint Seiya's sites but sadly most of the sites are not in english, mostly are French, anyway I would like to thanks them for their help because I knew more about Saint Seiya so thanks... So now let's get going...

THE STORY:
Well some of you may don't like the story if they don't like the deep stories, I mean Saint Seiya have a really very big and deep story, the story based on Greeks legends and other places, about temples, saints and their lords...etc I know this sometime might be boring but yet the story is very deep and very cool at the same time, if you watched Saint Seiya before you will notice the different between the Hades saga and the other sagas of Saint Seiya, since the story is about ressurection, going to underworld facing monsters or group fighters, helping each others, betrayers...etc Fighting for future of the world as everybody thinks, but yet it's not only this, it's deeper than this, I can't say anything more since they didn't released the ova's but I have been reading the manga since years, and the manga story and the OVA are the same, and I guess it's the best... The story is about the ressurection of Hades the king of the underworld along with his armies, who want to kill the queen Athena to get rid of her and to become the only leader in the universe, so the warriors have to do something to help her and defend her even if it costs them their own lives so that's the beginning of the biggest story... Also reviving some of the of the dead saints like the Gold Saints, Saga, Camus, Shura and Shion along with the Silver Saints just like Misty, Argol...etc I guess the story is new since you really don't know who is the bad one and who is the good one if you don't know the old story it will be pretty hard to understand just like me when I first saw it... I mean sometimes you see the bad guys are killing and doing bad things then at the other hand you see them that they are sad for killing and for losing their old friends from the old saga...etc also the good ones are fighting the good ones just for unknown reasons just like helping, training them and things like this... I really have nothing else to say and I can't say anything more but as for me The Hades saga is the best saga and you have to watch this part of Saint Seiya because you will be amazed for sure, and the story is very cool and I like it more than anything else, kinda like Nightwarriors stories, there are fighters who fight for themselves, fighters who fights for justice some for evils and some for their friends, you will see fighters who likes like angels, demons...etc I am sure many of you gonna like the story...


THE CHARACTERS:
As we all know Saint Seiya have alot of characters, more than 50 characters, and more than 15 main characters... There are alot of groups and each group have at least one or more cool fighter, Saint Seiya features all type of characters, the emotinal, the serious, the funny and even the bad ones as well... In respect to other animes but still I guess I can't find any anime that have cool characters like the characters in Saint Seiya's series... As for me I would like to give it a full rate for the characters since they have my favorite type of character of all time just like Saga, if you saw it from the beginning I am sure you will like this guy too, he is kinda a sad character and that's my type of character who is always cold, sad, strong and also sometimes you see him fighting for evils, sometimes for justice and sometimes for himself, there are many characters like Saga in the series, we also have Kanon, his twin brother, once were a servent of Posiedon and now a saint of Athena's saints and fights for the justice, he also have very great moves, and most of all the Hades Saga features and shows the great Wyvern Radamanthus, he is one of my favorite character too and I always wished to see him in an anime type while I was reading the manga because these are the ones who I always wish to see in animes... There are many other cool characters such as Hypnos, Thanatos, Shaka, Milo, Shiryu, Ikki...etc I can't name all of them because there are too much and I like almost everyone of them, even the heroes are pretty cool unlike other animes, I admit I usually like the villains but in this great series I also like the heroes too, I can name some of them like the Dragon Shiryu or Pheonix Ikki along with the gold heroes just like Mu, Aioria, Aioros...etc The best thing that Saint Seiya have groups, just like Golden Saint Group which have characters of themselves, Silver Saints, Bronze Saints, Steel Saints, Specters...etc you will also amaze after watching their great cloths, such an amazing designs on the characters, also don't forget that each character have his own speciality and have elements such as Wind element, Sun Element, Dark Element, Fire, water...etc Also the main villain have alot of great servents and he is a pretty cool villain, his name is Hades of course... Just see their stories and I am sure you are going to like these amazing characters... I know some of you might say if there are girls or not! Well they also have female fighters like Marin and Shina, also some villain females and Saori (Athena) is a female too, so both of girls and boys gonna like Saint Seiya's characters oh yeah not to forget that there is also old ones and kids just like Kiki, Master Dokho... You all find all type of characters that's why I like the series... I have nothing else to say but Saint Seiya features the best characters...


THE ANIMATION:
Saint Seiya The Hades chapter has the coolest animation I've ever seen in animes, I know there are other animes have cool animation just like Sprited Away, Blood The Last Vampire, X...etc but this one is the best in my opinion, they use alot of anime style 3D which give it the cool effects, also not to forget that the graphics looks soooooooooo cool, you just see the old ones and see the Hades OAV and you will notice the different between them, thanks to the OVA's group... Also the anime have alot of great backgrounds effects and there is no more same scene, they have used the computer stuff perfectly and I appreciate their efforts, just see when Milo fights against Kanon, man you will notice how the animation looks also don't forget to see the scene when Seiya transforms with his armors, man they used 3D on this and that's why it came out so good...The fighting scenes are pretty cool, it still has the old school feelings, but better effects had been implemented. I love the way how Seiya did his Pegasus Meteor Punch on Cancer Death Mask, it’s a must see! Not to mention about Shiryu doing his moves as well... And the best of all when Saga do his super attack "Glaxian Explosion" just see and for sure you will be speechless, Man I can't say anything more you just see and you will know what I mean...

[DarkLordDragon]

THE MUSICS:
Well I don't know what to say about this but as we all know Yokoyama Seiji was behind this, this mean for sure Saint Seiya's musics will be very cool... I think that Saint Seiya have the saddest musics of all time in anime world, they have a very cool musics, the openning and the ending, also not to mention the sad musics when Aldebran die or when Milo attacks Kanon, when Shakka's fight against Saga and co, when and when... Man the music outta there was very sad and I like it sooooo much as you all know I like sad musics, to your knowledge Saint Seiya not only have sad musics but they have other cool musics just like Pegasus Fantasy, Harp's them...etc I really can't wait anymore for the Hades World Chapter... I am sure you are going to like Saint Seiya's musics especialy the ones in the Hades chapter, but yet I miss Abel's sad theme, not to mention when Orpheous plays his music, I can't imagine that... Saint Seiya series have alot of great musics done by great artists so you can accept anything from them... Oh you might be asking if they still have the old musics from the old series! Yeah they have it, you can hear the old musics in the new series and that's pretty cool, since they still use their old stuff ot run the anime, I am done here you just go and hear then tell me what you think


VOICE CAST:

Saint Seiya's seiyuu and voice actors are the greatest ones and the most popular ones, the voices are very cool and suites the character and his style, I mean just hear Rhadamanthys's voice (Koyasu Takehito), man as you know Rhadamanthys is a pure evil and his voice is damn pure evil too not to mention that Pegasus Seiya is voiced by the same man who voiced Amuro, he also voiced Hiroshi for Jeeg, Kyosuke for Orange Road, and Tuxedo Mask for Sailor Moon. Dragon Shiryuu is also voiced by the man who voiced Bright Noah, Shingo from Goshogun and of course Haran Banjo. Andromeda Shun is also voiced by the same man who voiced Vegita from DBZ and also Kou Uraki and that dude who is trying to be like girls from Dancougar who loved Shapiro so much. And I like the most of all is Saga's voice actor, Okiayu Ryoutarou... There are many other great voice actors we've heard their voice at many other series, also Kanon's voice is very cool kinda remind me of the same actor of Raven from Virus Buster Serge... I don't think I can find a better voice actors and suites the character as well very easily, of course that's my opinion, everybody has his own opinion... But I am sure you will like these screams and shouting... Saint Seiya Hades's features the biggest names for the voice actors such as Koyasu Takehito, Okiayu Ryoutarou, Furuya Tohru, Suzuoki Hirotaka, Kusao Takeshi, Ikeda Shuuichi, Namba Keiichi, Tobita Nobuo ...etc All I have to say that they are the best...


STYLE:
The Anime style is very cool, it's a fighting fantasy anime along with some RPG's elements along with actions...etc a very good idea, from this temple to that, fighting scenes here and there, it was pretty cool, and the thing I like they don't gives credits only to the heros, you know what! Seiya doesn't appear in alot of episodes, not to mention the characters styles, every character have his own cool style, I like Shaka's style, kinda like indians style but it was pretty good, also Milo who doesn't trust anybody but at least he did it one and there are many others like Mu, Shiryu, Saga, Camus...etc Saint Seiya's style is very cool and I am sure you will be amazed after watching the new series...


OVERALL:
Well the new Saint Seiya Hades OVA is my favorite anime at the current time, so what can I say!? I can only give it the full rating and I guess it's really deserves the full credits, I know some of you might not like the new series that's maybe because he don't know the story and what happened before, but if you watch it chapter after chapter I am sure you will like it so much, as I said before Saint Seiya is perfect almost at everything, for the story, I don't think I can find a better story than Saint Seiya's great and big story or maybe it's only me... I also like stories which are originally legends & mythology... As for the characters, Saint Seiya features many cool characters, there are many of them just like Saga, Rhadamanthys, Ikki, Mu, Milo, Shakka, Camus, Shura...etc where can I find these great characters in other animes, I know that every anime have at least one cool characters but Saint Seiya have not only one or two or three, they have many of them and more than 20 cool characters of course it's a personal opinion so don't blame me for saying these words... As for the animation, I can't say anything but the animation and the graphics are very cool and well done especially when they show fighting scenes and fast movements scenes, as for the musics, we all know how it's great and there is no need to say anything more, if you like sad and old style musics then this will be your choice I guess... The anime also have a very cool style for their fighting scenes, characters...etc along with cool voice actors and most popular or biggest names in the anime world...etc what else should be said, I know whatever I saw or how much I will write there will ton of words that can be said about this great show... Even it's only 13 OVA but yet I prefer to series of 100 episodes or more, I am not just saying because a Saint Seiya fan but because it's really the greatest anime I've ever watched... I have nothing else to say but Guys you have to watch this great series and I am sure you will like and you wont lose anything by watching it...

==========
HISTORY:
==========


The anime series Saint Seiya had its debut in 1986, while the manga conceived by Kurumada Masami was published on the weekly magazine Shonen Jump.

Through a total amount of 28 mangas, 114 TV episodes and 4 movies, a charming story develops that tells about about the Great War between Good and Evil, which takes place every two or three hundred years: The queen Athena, who always reincarnates on the side of Good, fights back the Evil Powers (personified by the lords Poseidon, Hades, Eris and some others) with the help of her Saints, until the Cycle starts again.

The expression 'Saint' actually means 'Holy Warrior' here and has no similarity with the usual Christian saints. There are different degrees of Saints, who hold different power levels: Gold, Silver and Bronze Saints.

The Bronze Saints are usually the weakest warriors, even if they, too, are able to cause considerable havoc with their fighting techniques - a fact which is always proven especially by the series' main characters, the five Bronze Saints Pegasus Seiya, Cygnus Hyoga, Dragon Shiryu, Andromeda Shun and Phoenix Ikki.

Each Saint is attuned to a constellation - the twelve Gold Saints are bound to the Zodiacal signs, while Silver and Bronze Saints draw their powers from the remaining constellations.

The Saints' armours (named 'Holy Cloths' in the original Japanese version) have the characteristics of their respective constellations. One sees this best in their appearance when the Cloths are shown in their presentational form.

Saints receive their supernatural powers from a sort of energy, which comes both from within themselves and their guardian constellations; it is partly channelled through the Cloths, but also through the Saints, depending on the degree of their training and/or spiritual level.

This energy named 'Cosmo' is the force that allows Cygnus Hyoga to turn his adversary into an ice-cube, or that can launch an opponent together with Dragon Shiryu directly into the Earth's orbit (sic!). The level of control over their Cosmo is also what makes the different kinds of Saints - Gold Saints are able to employ their 'seventh sense' at will, they have full control over the Ultimate Cosmo, which Silver or Bronze Saints only occasionally attain.

Nonetheless, Pegasus Seiya and his four friends belong to a group of Bronze Saints, who in desperate situations are able to go beyond themselves. In these cases they can use their Cosmo like the Gold Saints do - a fact that surprised quite a lot of the Gold Saints during the battles.


Saint Seiya takes place in a not too distant future (other sources speak also of a parallel world) after a not exactly identified catastrophe, and the anime consists of three chapters:

The Fight at Athena's Sanctuary (The Sanctuary Chapter)
The Warriors of Asgard (The Asgard Chapter)
Poseidon and his Warriors (The Poseidon Chapter)
Saint Seiya begins with an international Tournament in Tokyo, the 'Galaxian Wars', in which the best fighters of the world compete. This Tournament is organised by the Graude Foundation (the largest Asian business company) under the lead of thirteen-year-old Kido Saori, and the vacant Sagittarius Cloth is exposed as a prize. Among the fighters are Pegasus Seiya, Dragon Shiryu, Cygnus Hyoga and Andromeda Shun, who were trained in different and extremely hard training camps during the previous years to become Bronze Saints.

[DarkLordDragon]

In the Tournament (like the whole series) we see a lot of hard and bloody battles, but before the tournament is over, the Sagittarius Cloth is stolen - and by no one other but Andromeda Shun's elder brother Phoenix Ikki.

Ikki, who went to Death Queen Island, the hardest of the training camps, instead of the delicate Shun, was virtually brainwashed during his fights to obtain the Phoenix Cloth. Thus he now fights for the evil side with some further Black Saints.

About half of the first chapter deals with the attempt to regain the Sagittarius Cloth, and the aforementioned Bronze Saints have to confront stronger and stronger opponents - mainly Silver Saints.

Finally, the queen Athena manifests in Kido Saori, and at last we learn something about the real background of the story.

When Athena reincarnated in a baby's body about 13 years ago, there was a caertain person who didn't like the fact that the queen was about to receive her true power and tried to kill the baby. Gold Saint Gemini Saga wanted to attain the power himself. Because of this, he killed the previous Master of Sanctuary, Aries Shion and put himself - under the Pope's practical mask which didn't reveal his true face - at the place of the Master. (In the manga there are hints about the fact that Gemini Saga was corrupted by Hades, the Underworld's lord, in order to get rid of Athena - in Volume 22, one of the Specters, Zelos, mentions that the dagger Saga used was given to him by Hades.)

However, Saga's attempt to kill the baby was prevented by Gold Saint Sagittarius Aiolos, who rescued the helpless Athena and fled with her out of Sanctuary without a moments' hesitation. During his flight, he was mortally wounded, but however he managed to hand over Athena and the Sagittarius Cloth to Kido Mitsumasa, the Graude Foundation's owner, just in time.

Kido Mitsumasa ordered the abduction of a hundred children from several orphanages and forced them to train to become fighters, so that they could guard the queen as Athena's Saints. (In the manga we learn that these 100 children all were begotten by Kido Mitsumasa - who might also be regarded as Zeus' incarnation - and so they could be considered as demilords, which makes their supernatural powers more plausible.)

After this revelation, Athena decides that now it's about time to retake Sanctuary. This means she has to go back to Greece with her best warriors (Seiya, Hyoga, Shiryu, Shun and Ikki) and try to retake her seat of power.

Unfortunately, this is complicated by the fact that first of all the Bronze Saints have to defeat the twelve Gold Saints, who guard Sanctuary and who have been convinced by Ares/Saga, that the late Sagittarius Saint was a traitor who had killed Athena, thus Kido Saori could only be an imposter.

The second chapter exists only in the TV series and not in the manga. It was added so that the manga could again catch up as the anime advanced faster than the manga and it deals with Asgard's Warriors. Polaris Hilda, a priestess of Odin (some sources tell also of her as a Valkyrie), who is entrusted with the task of keeping the Northpole's ice frozen, receives a ring (incidentally by one of Athena's other favourite opponents) which bestows a great power upon her that corrupts her completely. She sends one of her Warriors to annihilate Athena and her Saints. Since he fails, Athena and her warriors leave for Asgard, in order to see to the situation in the North by themselves.

The third chapter once more follows the manga's storyline, and so Athena and her warriors once more have to fight against a Greek lord, namely Poseidon, who's goal is either to rule the world together with Athena or to drown it. And since he's more or less sincere in his love ambitions towards Athena, he offers her the choice between marrying him or being killed. Obviously there are our well-known five young men who want to prevent this.

With the end of the third chapter, the anime Saint Seiya was finished on April, 11th, 1989, and the Hades Chapter, already well on the way as manga, was never aired on TV - even if it is by far the best section of the Saint Seiya saga in the eyes of the fans. It deals with Athena and her Saints' encounter with Hades and his 108 Spectres in the Underworld.

The following story, Tenkai-Hen, which was planned to take place after the Hades Chapter, and should lead the Saints into a battle against the lords in Heaven. This tale, however, was never published, not even as manga, since the readers' interest sank and the editors wanted to get a new successful story by Kurumada Masami. Unfortunately the next story turned out to be a flop, just as Kurumada's following projects could never surpass Saint Seiya's earliest success. Only with the current series B'tX (15 mangas published up to November, 1999) he managed to draw another successful story.

[DarkLordDragon]

Let's take a look at the main characters. Here they are:

Pegasus Seiya - He's the leader of the Bronze Saints' and certainly not always the brightest, but he has a strong fighting spirit and endurance. He was trained by Silver Saint Aquila Marin, who is one of the few female Saints. In the course of time it becomes clear that he has a special affinity to the Sagittarius Cloth since it defends him on its own initiative in some precarious situations.

Cygnus Hyoga - The cool blond from Russia is the Saint of the constellation Swan (lat. Cygnus), and spent his training in Siberia, where Crystal Saint (according to the manga, Gold Saint Aquarius Camus) taught him different attacking techniques, all resulting in the victim being thoroughly frozen. Similar to his attacks, he's rather cool and reserved, and he moreover suffers from a considerable mother-complex, since he watched her drown in ashipwreck ship right before his eyes.

Dragon Shiryu - As the name already indicates, he's the Saint of the constellation Dragon. He was taught his fighting techniques by Gold Saint Libra Roshi/Dohko in Rozan, China. In the anime series, Shiryu seems to be the one who takes by far the worst punishment by his opponents - but he never gives up. He's also the one among the five Bronze Boys, who lose his Cloth the most often, and then shows off his well-built body... ))

Andromeda Shun - The cutest among the Bronze Boys looks almost like a girl, and the pink Andromeda Cloth, does nothing to change this impression. Shun was trained by Silver Saint Cepheus Albiore on Andromeda Island and received the Andromeda Cloth, which shows a considerable life of its own in comparison to the other Cloths. Shun is not particularly fond of fighting. However, if he is forced to, he can gain his power not only from the Andromeda constellation, but furthermore from the whole Andromeda Galaxy, a fact which makes him one of the strongest Saints of all.

Phoenix Ikki - He's Andromeda Shun's big brother ("nii-san"), and contrary to Shun, he doesn't hesitate to beat up his opponents badly. In the anime series, the he mostly appears on the scene to save his young brother when Shun is in danger of losing to his adversaries. Ikki was trained by a sadistic and brutal master on Death Queen Island, and so he still keeps some traumata, which are made worse by the fact that his Cloth receives its powers from death and destruction (but also from rebirth).

Athena (Kido Saori) - Since she was brought up in a more than super-rich house thanks to Kido Mitsumasa, Saori is (at least in the beginning) an awfully spoilt, 13-years-old girl, who takes great pleasure in maltreating the young Saints trained at the Graude Foundation. In the course of time, when Athena manifests more and more strongly in her, she becomes more bearable, too. It seems that her main task in the series is to be captured by some hostile lord who threatens to kill her within 12 hours, so that her Saints have to save her while taking great troubles and risks. In the end she usually manages to employ her divine Cosmo to save the day and everything is (more or less) in order once more.

Saint Seiya is a series in which fights play a very important role, and blood flows freely, too. Nonetheless, it's not a splatter series about sending as many opponents as possible to death in the most disgusting ways, in Saint Seiya the Saints fight for their friends, their ideals and for freedom. Their motto is to never give up, never lose self-confidence, and even sacrifice themselves to protect the ones they love.

These values are probably the reason that helped Saint Seiya to become a great success particularly in Latin-American countries, Italy, Spain and France (There as Les chevaliers du zodiaque, "The Zodiac Knights" ).

In Japan, the audience's interest slackened more and more during the course of the series, which probably was due to the fact that the simple repetition of the plot was not 100 percent satisfactory.

If one would be slightly mischievous, one could resume Saint Seiya in the following way: The five Bronze Boys run up an endless amount of steps during the series and movies, they are usually pushed down once and again, but they somehow rise again every time, they have to fight with their opponents on the way who usually die after their battle, and only five minutes before the end, they actually manage to save Athena from the impending death.

On the other hand, the characters are really nice, and we can even sympathize with the opponents' motives, so that one is often very sorry when the Bronze Boys succeed (good examples of this are the fight between Dragon Shiryu and Capricorn Shura, or the fight Cygnus Hyoga vs. Aquarius Camus as well).

Finally, we mustn't forget the wonderful soundtrack by Yokoyama Seiji either, which turns Saint Seiya into a marvellous event - I've watched some episodes at least a dozen times only to listen to the excellent music pieces!

There are also some rumors about many new Saint Seiya's chapters called Zeus or Tenkai Han Chapter and Chaos's Saga... I can't wait more to see these new chapters...

Weight: 130 kg
Birthdate/sign: May 8th - Taurus
Blood group: B
Origin: Brazil
Training grounds: Brazil
Fighting techniques: Great Horn (Gure-to Ho-n)


STORY:

Taurus is a huge man, but seems to have a basically peaceful nature. Pegasus Seiya fights him to a standstill, and Taurus sits down, laughs, and tells him to go on -- he's earned the right to go to the next station. When Andromeda Shun, Cygnus Hyoga, and Dragon Shiryu combine their talents to fight him, they freeze his hands -- and, laughing again, he tells them to follow Seiya. Part of his reaction may be due to the fact he had a vision of Athena (Saori) rising over Pegasus Seiya just before Pegasus delivered a punch only a Gold Saint should be capable of. His main power seems to be pure strength. He is essentially neutral in the conflict.

DEATH MASK



Name: Deathmask
Constellation (Latin name): Cancer (Cancer - the Crab)
Age: 23 years old
Height: 184 cm
Weight: 82 kg
Birthdate/sign: June 24th - Cancer
Blood group: A
Origin: Italy
Training grounds: Italy - Sicily
Fighting techniques: Seki Shi Ki Mei Kai Ha (Dark World Waves)

STORY:

While the name transliterates as "Desumasuka", the characters in the show pronounce it "Deathmask", so I've used "Deathmask" in this review for the character's real name. It seems appropriate, considering the fact he's decorated his "House" in Sanctuary with rather gruesome death masks representing all the people he's either hurt or killed. He is sent by Ares after the Libra Cloth, but his attempt to take it forcibly from Rochi is stopped by the combined actions of Dragon Shiryu and Aries Mu. His personal power is to create a mini- blackhole that he can draw his opponents into, and he also seems to have the ability to transport both himself and any opponent to Hades, either just in spirit or also in body.



AIORIA



Name: Aioria
Constellation (Latin name): Leo (Leo - the Lion)
Age: 20 years old
Height: 185 cm
Weight: 85 kg
Birthdate/sign: August 16th - Leo
Blood group: O
Origin: Greece
Training grounds: Greece - Sanctuary
Fighting techniques: Lightning Plasma (pron: Raitoningu Purasuma)
Lightning Bolt (pron: Raitoningu Boruto)

STORY:

Aioria was trained by his brother Aioros, and was very close to his older brother. When Aioros was accused of kidnapping Athena, his younger brother was persecuted, and as a result can be very bitter at times. He went directly from being a trainee to Gold Saint. Leo Aioria has spent his entire life in Sanctuary, and does not particularly like what the Master he has sworn to serve has done to it. However, without Athena, there is no other he will acknowledge as leader, so he does nothing to stop the evil that results. He was very fond of his brother and reacts badly when Pegasus Seiya first wears the Sagittarius armor, but Athena intervenes. Once convinced Saori IS Athena rather than an imposter, Leo Aioria switches loyalties and pledges his service to her. When he returns to Sanctuary with the injured Shaina, he then goes to confront Ares and ends up fighting Virgo Shaka -- and then is possessed by Ares. Aioria's personal power seems to be the creation of a small ball of energy that he can throw at opponents, which he calls his "Lightning Bolt" attack. (His name may actually be "AEolia", which in Greek mythology is the island of the winds and home to Aeolus, chief lord of the Winds.)



SHAKA



Name: Shaka
Constellation (Latin name): Virgo (Virgo - the Maiden)
Age: 20 years old
Height: 182 cm
Weight: 68 kg
Birthdate/sign: September 19th - Virgo
Blood group: AB
Origin: India
Training grounds: India - Basin of the Ganges
Fighting techniques: Ten Bu Hou Rin (trans: sky - dance (?) - treasure - circle)
Riku Dou Rin Ne (trans: endless cycle of rebirth through the 6 worlds)
Ten Ma Kou Huku (trans: Demon Capitulation) - O-mu
Ka-n

STORY:

Shaka is of Indian/Buddhist origin, despite his blondehair. He is the only Gold Saint who seems to have put together his own considerable following of trainees, and seems to exert a great deal of control over them. Shaka doesn't really care whether Ares or Athena wins the battle; all he cares about is being on the winning side. He fights Leo Aioria and the two manage to blow each other away. While he does keep his eyes closed most of the time like Dragon Shiryu does while he's blinded, Shaka is NOT blind. It is said he fears destroying whatever he happens to be looking at... A large part of his power is involved with illusion- casting as well as more physical manifestations. (Without his helmet he looks a lot like a blond Shiryu!)

[DarkLordDragon]

DOKHO





Name: Dohko (also Roshi = "old master")
Constellation (Latin name): Libra (Libra - the Scales)
Age: 261 years old
Height: 140 cm - 170 cm
Birthdate/sign: October 20th - Libra
Blood group: A
Origin: China
Training grounds: China - Rozan
Fighting techniques: Rozan Hyaku Ryu Ha (Rozan 100 Dragons)
Weapons: Spear (Supea)
Triple Rod (Toripuru Roddo)
Twin Rod (Tsuin Roddo)
Tongfar (Tonfu-a)
Sword (So-do)
Shield (Shi-rudo)

STORY:

As mentioned above, Roshi is Dragon Shiryu's mentor as well as a Gold Saint. He is perhaps one of the strongest of the Gold Saints, although he strictly avoids the more showy displays of power some of the other Gold Saints seem to favor. He suspects what has happened to the Master of Sanctuary, but has no proof so says nothing of his suspicions to the others. Roshi seems to be fully retired; when Cancer Deathmask arrives to forcibly take the Libra Cloth from him, Roshi does nothing to fight him.



MILO



Name: Milo
Constellation (Latin name): Scorpio (Scorpius - the Scorpion)
Age: 20 years old
Height: 185 cm
Weight: 84 kg
Birthdate/sign: November 8th - Scorpio
Blood group: B
Origin: Greece
Training grounds: Milo Island
Fighting techniques: Restriction (pron: Risutorikushon)
Scarlet Needle - Antares (pron: Sukaretto Nidoru - Antaresu)

STORY:

Milo completely believes the Master's story that Athena is dead and Saori is an imposter. When the Master decides that it is pointless to send more Silver Saints after our Bronze Saints, it is Milo who is sent to Andromeda Island to blackmail Andromeda Shun into leaving Athena by destroying the training camp there and injuring many of the people on the Island, including Shun's sensei. While intended to convince Shun not to accompany his friends in retaking Sanctuary and to dishearten him, the effect is the reverse -- it seems to give Shun the incentive to fight as hard as he can in the following battles. Later Milo fights Hyoga, and begins to have doubts about the veracity of the Master's story of Athena and Saori. His power is that of the "Scarlet Needle", which punches small but deadly holes in his opponents. The holes are made in a specific pattern -- that of the stars in the constellation Scorpio. The last punch is placed in the "Scorpion's Heart", Antares, and is normally the final, fatal blow.



AIOROS



Name: Aioros
Constellation (Latin name): Sagittarius (Sagittarius - the Centaur)
Age: 14 years old (at his death)
Height: 187 cm
Weight: 85 kg
Birthdate/sign: November 30th - Sagittarius
Blood group: O
Origin: Greece
Training grounds: Greece - Sanctuary


STORY:

Upon learning that Ares has secretly become the Master of Sanctuary and intends to kill Athena, Aioros prevents one murder attempt and escapes Sanctuary with the baby, who is as yet too young for her power and full memories to manifest. While he is successful in getting her away from the danger and gives her to a new guardian, Aioros dies as a result of his wounds (received from both Ares' attack and a later battle with Capricorn Shura) on top of having to evade capture and getting out of Sanctuary to the outside world with the baby Saori/Athena. (His name may actually be Aeolus, which was the name of the chief lord of the winds in Greek mythology.)

[DarkLordDragon]

SHURA



Name: Shura
Constellation (Latin name): Capricorn (Capricornus - the Sea Goat)
Age: 23 years old
Height: 186 cm
Weight: 83 kg
Birthdate/sign: January 12th - Capricorn
Blood group: B
Origin: Spain
Training grounds: Spain - Pyrenees
Fighting techniques: Excalibur (pron: Ekusukariba)
Jumping Stone (pron: Janpingu Suto-n)

STORY:

Capricorn's special power is the "Excalibur Blow", in which he can use the power of his cosmo, focused through his hands, like a sharp sword. When Aioros escaped from Sanctuary, he first encountered Shura, who inflicted even more damage than Ares had. Shura believed Aioros dead, but could not bring himself to kill the infant Athena. When he faces Dragon Shiryu, Capricorn's "Excalibur Blow" destroys the Dragon Cloth, including its nearly unbreakable shield.



CAMUS



Name: Camus
Constellation (Latin name): Aquarius (Aquarius - the Water Bearer)
Age: 20 years old
Height: 184 cm
Weight: 76 kg
Birthdate/sign: February 7th - Aquarius
Blood group: A
Origin: France
Training grounds: Siberia
Fighting techniques: Aurora Execution (pron: O-rora Ekusukyu-shon)
Freezing Coffin (pron: Furizigu Kofu-in)
Diamond Dust (pron: Daiyamondo Dasuto)


STORY:

(The name is French, and is pronounced "Kam-yeu"; the katakana can also be transliterated as "Kamyu"). He was sensei to the Crystal Saint, and therefore something of an object of hero-worship for the young Hyoga before he became Cygnus. He may have at one time been Cygnus Saint prior to earning Gold Cloth; one of his attacks is manifested as a dark- colored swan similar to that used by Hyoga. His primary attack is that of the "Aurora Execution", in which the Water Bearer appears above him, and energy seems to shoot out of the "water pitcher" she bears. Camus seems to be on Athena's side, but due to his oaths of loyalty to the leader of Sanctuary cannot act openly in her behalf.



APHRODITE



Name: Aphrodite
Constellation (Latin name): Pisces (Pisces - the Fish)
Age: 22 years old
Height: 183 cm
Weight: 72 kg
Birthdate/sign: March 10th - Pisces
Blood group: O
Origin: Sweden
Training grounds: Greenland
Fighting techniques: Bloody Rose (pron: Buraddei Rozu)
Pirhana Rose (pron: Piranian Rozu)
Royal Demon Rose (pron: Roiyaru Demon Rozu)

STORY:

The last of the Gold Saints our folks will have to defeat prior to taking on Ares himself, Aphrodite is male, despite his deceptive appearance. While he shares names with the Greek queen of Love, I don't think he's the manifestation of the queen. Aphrodite uses roses as weapons -- red roses are poisonous, black are explosive, and white ones drain an enemy's life force. Aphrodite seems to fully supports the Master, and may be aware of his true nature.
