What do you think about the recent news? Will we finally see Zeus arc manga? I hope so. Although, at the same time I can't stop thinking about a scenario when Saint Seiya THEN is just a short spin-off.

I hope they will be able the beat the 12 sacred temples and defeat zeus before athena dies.

What a retard. One of Kubo's main inspirations was Saint Seiya and he pointed it out on multiple occasions. So this Bleachfag sincerely claimed that Bleach is shit, kek.

You people are so hilarious. You actually believe the original manga is some sort of masterpiece and the anime didn't do it justice.

To be fair, Saint Seiya has been a huge influence for magical girls in general, not just Sailor Moon. You can find SS influence in every genre. It's one of those titles that make hard to imagine how would be the industry if it was never made
>>
>>282759136
Maybe if Toei has some really big money problems and many execs must be still mad for the live action but in general big companies prefer to leave their IPs to root rather than allowing someone else to touch them
>>
>>282756069
Kurumada's art peaked in the 90s. Later he got old and broke his hand
>>
>>282755944
Legend of Sanctuary adapted the 13 houses into a 90 minutes movie and the CG show and live action were made for the American market. They never tried a proper reboot
>>
>>282756092
This. It's actually the opposite: someone should take the armor designs, the general plot, the hot-bloodedness, the melodrama, and a Toei inspired soundtrack, and actually make a good anime out of it while ignoring the manga. We don't need Saint Seiya Brotherhood, we need Saint Seiya 2003
>>
>>282755702
Kurumada, like Toriyama, makes the same character 5 times and gives it a different name.
>>
>>282763475
Toriyama has a much bigger range when it comes to storytelling. Kurumada only knows 1 story arc structure.
>>
>>282755702

If it were just that Kurumada is a prime target for the Shinigami, I don't think half of the actors from Kotz would be alive to work on the next adaptation.
My money's on Marcos Patiño.

his storytelling also got stale. Also his fights are the worst of any shounen manga, they all look like a turn based rpg fights that ends with the winner pulling a critical move

Actually the live action made most damage. The CG show born as synergy with the live action. That's why both have profecies, cyborgs and the army. Also Toei spent like 60$ millions on the live action, allegedelly a lot of that money was to ensure the actors for the upcoming sequel that will never be made

Kurumada born poor so he knows the value of money. He won't say no to anybody paying him to use his ideas, especially when they're going to use his ideas without his permision anyway. See countless shows
>>
>>282771148
Allegedelly the veteran latino VAs had a feud with Gael Garcia Bernal's brother (Seiya's new VA) because he was receiving a higher salary than them despite being a newbie and objectively terrible. Rumors say Marcos Patiño worked as intermediary between the veteran VAs and Garcia Bernal's brother and convinced them to work together for the sake of the project. Based Patiño.

Despite Gael Garcia Bernal's brother was fired after S1, the damage was already done. Fem Shun didn't help
>>
>>282755702
i though it ended with Seiya and the rest of the saints memory wiped along with the temple being destroyed?
>>
>>282780401
Yes it did but the story will continue. In Saint Seiya THEN, the link between ND and the upcoming Heaven arc, Saori recovers her memory. Probably Seiya and others will recover their memories too eventually.
>>
>>282759146
True. That's true.
>>
>>282774061
Already fixed in the original tankobon format.
>>
>>282780953
Probably Kurumada's biggest miscalculation was Hyoga claiming after his fight with Babel that they will survive even if they have to fight Athena herself. The next issue reveals Saori is Athena so Kurumada retconned that line in the tankoubon
>>
next dimension is over?
>>
>>282757071
>five women, not counting Athena.
It's simply Impossible. But lets says it happen
Hades gonna be included among the 12 just to leave his temple empty; Poseidon won't fight. Hephaestus will be similar to Aries/Taurus. Athena should be useful for once and face Ares. This leaves:
>Seiya vs. Hera
>Ikki vs. Hestia
>Shun vs. Aphrodite, she falls in love with him, and leaves him go to fight Apollo
>Hyoga vs. Demeter
>Shiryu vs. Artemis
Leaving Zeus as the final boss
>>
>>282767668
>>282774316
This. But I think it's too late for that. Not with this "modern audience" and its "anime taste".
>>
>>282777365
because along the series it's kind of implied they might like each other
at the very least, Seiya and Saori are like Mario and Peach so you get the idea
>>
>>282777177
Pretty much what this >>282778455 Anon said.
I'd add that Zeus arc can be a really cool, epic, and definite ending of the main storyline. It was planned to be something like that years ago, anyway.
>>
>>282781264
Yeah, retconing stuff for volume release was more common back then. Tight schedules, planning on the go, worrying about the magazine axing the manga. It could affect in one way or another chapters released in the magazine.
>>
>>282782134
>It's simply Impossible
Why? I know saints are mostly men, but these are gods, they dont follow the same rules, they literally are reincarnations of those old deities
Besides it would be interesting to see the saints fight overpowered female characters for once
>Shun vs. Aphrodite, she falls in love with him, and leaves him go to fight Apollo
Or she confuses him with a woman and tries to show off to prove she is the most beautiful
Also who would beat Apollo?
>>
>>282777365
First time I've ever heard of that, I've mostly just seen Saori and Seiya doujin. People really do go for the whole psuedo incest.
>>
>>282782134
I wouldn't complaint if there was something like happened in an old doujinshi by Iro Sakamihara. Just without Abel and retconed Hades arc.
>>
>>282782378
In my opinion, it has to be Shun because he is the purest human. He has to prove to Apollo that humans are worth the existence. Athena is another candidate, but I doubt she'll allow him to face someone so important. Seiya has to defeat Zeus, so I don't think he'll face three gods in a single arc.

If Saint Seiya ever receives one (2D remake, I mean), then it should be done with the original colors for a change. Agreed.

this is a very dear memory of my childhood
well imagine my disappointment when it turned out i was a pisces and the golden saint that represented my sign was a fucking parody of a gay dude and his power was basically was "dude he is gay and that's weird lmao"

Didn't Nintendo make an oficial statement that say Mario and Peach are just friends? Also Mario was cucked in the OVA from the 80s and coincidentally Mario was voiced by Tohru Furuya. If that happen, at least Seiya still has Shaina and Miho so he won't die a virgin

Seiya is Kurumada's self-insert so he's a very conservative Japanese man. I doubt he'll end with Saori because she's not only a goddess but technically his boss and that's shamefur dispray for a Japanese man. Probably he'll marry Miho because gratitude. Japanese men marry for gratitude rather than love. See Naruto The Last

A human man marrying a goddess is common in Japanese folklore and stories. Ditto for a man marrying the woman that he's meant to protect because realistically it's the best way to protect them.

of all the fantasy shit that happens in this story, the age of the characters is the most baffling to me, and I think its mostly because they dont even look like kids either

>>282786523
Not quite, and of all the gods, I think Apollo was always seen as the heir IIRC there was even a prophecy about it and Zeus was kinda worried about it
Also, remember that before becoming christian, there was an emperor that tried to make the official religion of the empire one about the sun, sol invictus, and Apollo has always been related to the sun in a way (even tho there's Helios too)

The prophecy was about Zeus firstborn, so Zeus ate his first wife, Metis, to avoid his firstborn to be born, but he immediately regretted it and promised to never do it again. Later said firstborn actually got born from Zeus head, and she is Athena not Apollo. That's why Athena hsd her claim over Ares according to Athenians.
The intellectuals preferred Athena while common people were with Apollo.

>>282788212
Ah yeah, but even Athena wasnt meant to be the heir, it was going to be the first son of Metis but she never conceived that one

Athena is the daughter of Metis, bro, Zeus eat pregnant Metis and later Athena was born from his head, just like how Pegasus is the son of poseidon.

Don't wanna spit on the franchise, I genuinely like the classic anime series I'm latino , but why someone would be hyped for this?

It's so utterly ridiculous how these old men couldn't finish their lifework after decades and decades and will die with them incomplete and having to leave a guide for someone else to complete it.
Say all you want about SENILEyama, but he completed Dragon Ball and fucked off for two decades only returning out of butthurt from how bad the LA movie was. And nothing of what he did afterwards was anything "full" or grandiose. The main work was done and over.
I can't wait to see Oda dying from overwork and the meltdown it'll cause. All because the faggot got so cocky and kept stretching and bloating the manga like crazy.

Kurumada was pretty smart in figuring out how to trigger dopamine in children and retarded anime fans. The illusion of PROGRESS with arbitrary factors like a fixed number of Gold Saints, a countdown clock, an underdog factor, and a single line going up is all you need to make an engaging arc.
>>
>>282791974
what's interesting about tje sanctuaru and poseidon arc is how different the rules are. while the sanctuary you need to follow a straight line like a videogame, poseidon offers you a y of your choice like megaman before reaching the main pillar. Hades was an open world until you get to find the main door. the problem in all these figjts is tbat it's too repetitive, at least with the 12 gold saints some put you in a test nust to see if what you're fighting for is justified, it was more poetic than the rest which were just punch harder

I only read the very beginning when it was coming out at the same time as Lost Canvas, and I remember back then it was thought of as telling the same event from different perspectives/parts. But I gave up on the manga like 15 years ago. I remember reading that eventually ND made LC non-canon, and it was no longer a prequel but a second Hades arc in the present and the past and the ending is basically Tenkai Hen all over again?

time travel because athena couldn't let go seiya, for a goddess it goes against her duties to care so much for one single human. there's lots of shenanigans and lore dumping that it didn't offer much to the story, all could be summed up with encountering apollo midway knowing what they were doing and have the same conclusion. Like the whole point of ND was kurumada having so many things to tell in a movie but TenkaiHen didn't have the budget to do so but not even he took the chance in ND to do so. We were hoping to learn more about marin and her brother but it was one panel of exposition which is much less than that tenkai hen offered and also WHAT HAPPENED TO SEIYA'S SISTER? WHERE IS SHE?

i mean, i know the status quo is to shit on omega but let's give it some credit in giving us a story that had the option to be ignored and still worked its way to be connected to the original SS story, it worked as a placeholder until kurumada chose to take SS to a different route. omega brought an interesting theory of the possibility of other gods to initiate a turf war now that the main ones (zeus, hades and poseidon) have been dealt with and who else but the god of war ares to start making his moves against athena. sure the execution of omega was silly with element type advantages but even they dropped that

Now that's weird because in the original draft Kurumada gave to Toei for Overture, Seika was taking care of Seiya.

The main cast go back in time to the first Athena vs Hades war to destroy Hades sword so Seiya stops being a vegetable. Initially, this was to be like a canon alternative to Lost Canvas or something, but any similarities get dropped real fast. Saori turns into a baby when she time travels and gets in the hands of the Sanctuary master(i forgot who he is) who is scared at how there are two Athenas now(Sasha from Lost Canvas being the other). Our bronze saints, with the help of Tenma(Pegasus from Lost Canvas) go save Athena in whats pretty much a recreation of the 12 houses arc, facing the gold saints and all that. They arent the same gold saints from Lost Canvas however.
Somewhere along the way, the gold saint of Ophiucus(same as Shaina) ressurrects a kind man named Odysseus to take over the Sanctuary. There's a whole setup on how the gold saints plan to betray Athena for Odysseus, but none of them do and instead stay loyal to Athena. Odysseus defeats all of them, gets taken over by the spirit of the Ophiucus gold saint and from this point on i forgot what happened. I believe he is defeated somehow and Seiya is cured from Hades sword by Sasha.
Anyway, they all go back to the future, Saori is brought to be judged by the gods for time traveling and the ending of Heaven Overture happens here, only that Seiya kneels and accepts losing his memories instead of attacking Apollo.
Also the gold saint of Ophiucus is possibly trying to possess Shaina.

Now most of Jump famous mangaka actually lean more on Kurumada than Toriyama, as Toriyama's drawing skill is just not replicable while Kurumada's idea are always good to include, like the 12 Gold saints (with their respective silver jobbers), homoerotic friendship or the conflicted two personalities villain/ally.

Ring Ni Kakero is the series that codified the battle shounen format in the way that we know today so that's barely a surprise. It started as another generic boxing spokon but after it threw all realism out of the window you can feel the distinct taste that we find in all subsequent shounenshit.

Those are comedy cartoons. American action cartoons were things like X-Men where Wolverine has claws that he can't ever use against another human because it's too violent, so he only fights robots. Spiderman legit couldn't throw a punch, the whole cartoon had him only doing body tackles. Same with things like He-Man, Thundercats, TMNT or whatever else where they had swords they couldn't use. DCAU was the only American action franchise I thought was good. So in that environment, again Saint Seiya had a dude lose an ear and bleed a lot in the first episode (or second, I don't remember). It should be pretty clear why kids would get obsessed with something like that or all the other battle shonen that came later.

Reminder that Jabu's most pathetic incarnation is in the CG show. In that continuity, he had a dad that worked for the Kido family and he got involved into this mess voluntarilly just because he had a crush on Saori, I mean Sienna. Meanwhile she couldn't care less about him

DB has a established top speed based on the basic 5 senses, almost every character can move at the speed of thought with the exception of Angels and Goku UI, which is still not that fast, SS characters can punch you to the next galaxy and move at the speed of light and still procees all that information due to their 6th and 7th senses, Seiya alone would wipe the entire DB universe and maybe MAYBE have a hard time with the angels.

>Seiya is a god killer
Athena, Shiryu, Shun, Hyoga and Ikki killed Hades after he impaled Seiya. Seiya is a god bootlicker as seen when he met Apollo.

Nah, just a coincidence. The original SNK Athena arcade game came out in 1986, a few months after the start of the Saint Seiya manga itself and it already had a purple haired Athena.

That said, modern era Psycho Soldier Athena Asamiya originally had pink hair, then they went back to purple with KoF. Saint Seiya might have influenced that, but they always can mention the Athena Arcade game as the actual source.
>>
>>282811689
Saint Seiya is inconsistently written and feats make no sense. Seiya can both beat Goku and lose to Yamcha depending on what you take into consideration. For example, saints can move beyond the speed of light and can tank galaxy busting attacks. But Seiya's ultimate move is flying into a suplex that hits your head really hard against the floor. The planet doesn't even explode or anything, just head against floor. Or Shiryu's ultimate technique being pulverizing someone from friction from flying upwards into Earth's atmosphere, which shouldn't even tickle people used to tanking galaxy busting moves. People will either ignore those or go the other way and say the galaxy busting and lightspeed moves are just poetic speech. tl;dr: fans will pick and choose which feats to take into consideration and headcanon away the rest depending on whether they want the series to have high or low power levels, but most probably Kurumada himself didn't think too hard about it.

I have always thought that SS would be a million times better if the fights showed actual choreography in the hits instead of just doing a pose and sending sparkles until the opponent dies
>>
This series has always been goofy, the main character themselves can be each reduced to
>Seiya: get used as a punching bag until every single bone of his body is broken before he can finally extend his arm and kill everyone
>Shiryu: take his armor off and blind himself (if eyes heal, blind himself again)
>Hyoga: be always sad because mom died, occasionally lose an eye
>Shun: be a gigantic faggot that does nothing until his brother arrives to save his ass
>Ikki: enter fight, die, revive, repeat

Oh, okay.
I have no expectations, so I'll just leave it be for the time being and check it out X months or years after it comes out.
Does that mean he finished ND then?

Mars in omega is the god of planet Mars, not the same god of war of greek mitology Ares.
The premise of omega is: Athena killed/defeated all the greek gods except Pallas, the goddes that made Athena the "good goddes" that works with humans.

Is it? Wasn't he literally an alien born from a meteor that crashed into earth or whatever?

Sure, because that worked so well for SM Crystal. As much as you hate the OG anime, it improved the source material.

My favorite example of how the power scalling is bullshit in SS is how the Athena Exclamation is described as having the force of the big bang but it's just a generic energy beam barely bigger than Goku's first kamehameha when he was a kid

The important thing is that Lost Canvas will never finish getting animated

Saint Seiya might be the most convoluted mess of a series. Spans 40+ years, several series and spin-off series (some of which never got finished), still ongoing past its own conclusion, and the mangaka might die before its even finished.

Besides Ophiuchus they have:
Artemis
Apollon
Crateris Suikyo
And the Gold Saints (since they only have to design new heads/faces they will surely jump to the bandwagon)
>Saintia Sho only had an anime because they needed to advertise their cloth myths so the invested the bare minimum on it
And they failed because they used the anime color scheme in an anime adaptation of an spin-off that focuses more on the OG Manga.
They tried to sell a Milo with white pants. How could they not flop at sales?
>>
>>282806453
IMO Omega is the one that needed a reboot not the OG series (that one needed the Brotherhood treatment).

Saint Mariya has been pretty fun so far
>>
>>282820229
They will always be the best gold saints, canon or not. They aren't posers. Actually no one in LC are posers, bronze saints or silver saints.

Stop with the nonsense, Toei executive.
You old farts need to understand that you can't appeal to them using 80's saturday cartoons tropes. Nowadays, most americans that consume anime are weebs.

Yeah, they'll just put them in 9 stages to save time. I hope it will be more like the original 12 temples in the sense that some of the fights were the gordo saintos testing the saints or the latter enduring punishment until a miracle happens. Perhaps Poseidon AND HIS BOYFRIEND can help this time.

We can go even further. Remember Ah My Goddess? That started as an Urusei Yatsura's fanfic but Fujishima needed a gimmick for his Lum's knock off. And coincidentally at the same time there was a popular anime/manga with a relatable Japanese guy in an ambiguous situation with a goddess. And the AMG movie remind me to the Abel movie Maybe there was some influence

No, we're not.
The THEN short story advanced the plot beyond the point where Overture finnished.

>>282820111
They have the same base design (with stylistic choices and artstyle being the only things different)
Also the LC Gold Saints are very derivative from either the OG Golds, their '86 anime versions or even their alternative versions from other spin-offs.
>Muh gaidens
Yeah yeah they fleshed them out to make them being their own characters. Still, they don't stop being derivative i'm essence.

>>282819845
Saint Seiya fujoshis are a bunch of self-insert lesbians. The real fujoshis are in another popular shonen. Saint Seiya is a lesbian magnet.
>>
Reminder that Teshutogi stated in a french interview that Kurumada gave her a list of key events for Lost Canvas, she just had to write the context for these events. After the list was done, she was given creen light to do what she wanted.
So, it might be probable that most of the kino moments from the first part of LC came from Kurumada himself.

The Saint Seiya ones are almost all lesbians. But Genshin Impact,Fate or Jujutsu Kaisen, for example, they are full of real fujoshis.
