Saint Seiya Thread:-New Manga Chapter out now-Heaven Arc confirmed to begin in March-Master Kurumada has most of it already planned out-Rerise of Poseidon: Crystal Saint is canon, rumored anime adaptation-Final Edition retcons improve the story-Next Dimension to redeem itselfKnights of the Zodiac bros, we're back.
MIHOBROS!! IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR TURN!!!
>>284597697>rumored anime adaptationlmao sure bro
>>284598119There are rumors but it's hard to believe after Toei lost millions on the live action. I wish it was true though
>>284597697>Heaven Arc confirmed to begin in MarchTold you. Trust the master
>>284598119>>284597697when will Toei get off their ass and start animating ND, it's finished now. They keep merchandising the franchise but give us no new animation. KOTZ CG show already failed as did the live action movie, it's clear only anime and manga work for this franchise.>>284598535I hope Kurumada gets sidetracked and decides to finish Silent Knight Sho so heaven arc takes 15 years to finish.
>>284597697>Rerise of Poseidon: Crystal Saint is canonHow this work? Crystal Saint was a Sonota Saint, an exclusive rank in the old anime
>>284598871Saint Seiya's continuity is as messy as cape comcis
>>284598765They make money on action figures, so they probably prefer work with Rerise for the new arkscales and the shells armors.
>>284597697This franchise needs to die, it's basically a rotten zombie corpse at this point.
>>284598765Kurumada doesn't give a shit about Silent Knight Sho. Too bad because it was great and it's more relevant now than when it was made
>>284598927But enough about Dragon Ball
>>284598981That one should also be put to rest, but it's way, way more popular than SS, so it won't anytime soon.
>>284598765>when will Toei get off their ass and start animating NDThe lack of new cloths for the Bronze and Gold Saints doesn't give them much of an incentive to animate it. And they know nowadays they'd get backlash from the manga fans if they redesigned stuff.
>>284598765The CG show was made by sinergy with the live action and the live action was made for the American audience except Sony saw the negative respond to the trailer and decide to not promote the movie at all so it was a movie for no one, except for Mackenyu hardcore fangirls.
>>284599024So when they adapt the Heaven arc, ND will be a recap or something
>>284599139>ND will be a recap or somethingwhat exactly happened in ND?
>>284598981But get Sailor V spin off
>>284597697We are getting more translations for comfy kino
>>284597697Can we finally admit that Lost Canvas Is great.
>>284599732>Can we finally admit that Lost Canvas Is great.Did ND contradict Lost Canvas?Wouldn't the time travel aspect explain any inconsistencies?
>>284599732Only if you're a fujo or a butthurt Taurus/Cancer/Pisces
Weak mangaka keep dying. Strong Kurumada keeps going.
>>284599732LC is good if rushed towards the end, better than ND for sure.
So how Saintia Shō new manga?
>>284599889There's a new Saintia Sho manga but nobody seem to care. I guess Saint Mariya took the novelty of being a female lead SS
>>284599889I didn't know it had a sequel.>>284598871Maybe they made the Crystal cloth into a Silver Cloth?
>>284600596>I didn't know it had a sequel.There's so many spin-off mangas it's hard to keep track of, I think this is a complete list:Lost Canvas -> LC spin-off -> LC miniEpisode G -> EG Spin off -> 2nd EG Spin offEuropean official comicTenkai Hen adaptation mangaRerise of PoseidonSaintia Sho -> 2nd SSI didnt even know what saint mariya was so I guess I could be missing some
>>284598765>when will Toei get off their ass and start animating NDWhy would they? They would bleed money.
>>284599732It's good. The art style and paneling alone makes it more palatable than ND that's for sure.
>>284600596Yea since 2022
>>284600736Would Freach comic technically a manga if Japanese writers involved?
>>284598024Kid Icarus manga so manly now? Thank Nintendo.
Bump
>>284602181The French comic is a comic. Just like the Harlock comic
>>284598024
STORYTIMEIt's on Spanish but we all are spics here anyway
>>284604299See
>>284604299seriously? nothing in english or in japanese?
>>284604343
>>284604367
>>284604389
>>284604410
>>284604425That's all until March when the Heaven arc properly begins
>>284604299Translation:Seiya: This... That's the hat from that girl I crossed a while ago.
>>284604343Seiya: It looks she was going to that place called Sanctuary but... in this Rodorio town that place is considered a sacred land where no one is allowed to enter. Who the hell is that girl?
>>284604389Voice: Athena, what's bothering you?Saori: A..Aioros?Aioros: It's not time to cry. You have a mision. A big mission
>>284604410Aioros: That's right... You musn't forget the mission of protect love and justice in Earth. Isn't that way coutnless saints have fought since the Myth Age?
>>284604425Aioros: You aren't allowed to cry like a normal girl. Also for the saints that have fought and fallen to protect you. Stand up, Athena
>>284604451Aioros: Dry your tears and stand up... to proect this beautiful EarthNarrator: Lead by Aioros's will, Athena assumes her missionSaori: Aioros, the teachings from your soul.. I'll keep them in my heart
Was the live action any good?
>>284604299thx anonsubi
Aiolos in Episode 0 was very underwhelming. He was hyped as some Saga's rival but in the end, he showed nothing.
>>284605532Aioros's main virtue is his undying loyalty for Athena. It was always established that Saga was stronger
>>284605402Better than Evolution and the actor could fight but still unwatchable. Only if you're in love with the male lead
>>284605588Yes, but not that strong. Aiolos in Episode 0 looked miles weaker than Saga.
>>284604299>>284604343It's funny because many fanarts show Seiya picking Saori's hat
>>284604451based Aioros not giving a fuck about the other Gods G really needed a better art style
>>284605402It have Sean Bean. Yes.
>>284604410Saori looks good with short hair
>>284604052She can fuck one of the shotas from the orphanage
>saint seiya THEN>THEN>T. HEN>TENKAI HENkurumada you wine drunk bastard
>>284604425>don't weep like a normal girl, stand up Athena.dats rite girl, you go girl!
>>284604052Wish live action and Netflix show Miho
>>284607844The live action even cut Shiryu, Hyoga and Shun but Miho could make a cameo in the CG show. I mean, the writers clearly wanted to make a YA novel in season 1 and there's nothing more YA than a love triangle. See Twilight and The Hunger Games
>>284607338So many hentai scenarios are unexplored in Saint Seiya because the fandom is overwhelming fujo in Japan
>>284607618Actually Kurumada's favorite drinks are sake and Scotch whisky. He has a collection of drinks from all over the world
>>284608556Does whiskey taste like trap/femboy sweat?
>>284604299based spics, it's easier for AI to translate spanish than weaboo>>284605402it's bad, I went with a very open mind. I liked the trailers even>>284604451ok so they lose their memory so that in the next chapter after they lose it they gain it back.And now we... >>284605145 are doing another sanctuary arc, I mean im not even annoyed, I find it funny the mangaka keeps recycling the idea because it's his best idea and does give us some tension
>>284609912>ok so they lose their memory so that in the next chapter after they lose it they gain it back.that's always been a flaw of kurumada, he has a hard time building tension because he solves it next page/chapter
>>284604451>she gains her memories backi hope the bronze saints take a while to recover their memories
>>284609912I doubt Seiya is going to fight the ghosts of the 12 gold saints or something.
>universal reset>memory lost>god-tier character does questionable things for love>starcrossed loversThis is starting to remind me to Devilman. Probably was intentional.
>>284609912The main problem is that Saori is a normal regular girl. She got her memories back but not her cosmo or her divinity. Apollo turned her into a regular human. The main plot will probably be about getting all the saints back again and get their cosmos to actually put a front against Apollo and the other gods.Maybe Julian can help?
>>284611206The entire problem started because Saori couldn't let Seiya go. I wonder if there'll be repercusions, not like another universal reset but like Saori achieving enlightment by letting go Seiya. Maybe Miho can still win
>>284611328Kurumada can't even remember Seika that was the whole reason the story started. How can he even remember Miho?I wish he finished Next Dimension with Seika walking besides Seiya being finally reunited but we don't know what the hell happened after Thanatos attacked them.
>>284611371Seika's absence is one of SS's biggest misteries, especially considering Seika was taking care of Seiya in the original draft Kurumada sent to Toei for Overture. I was convinced Seika was going to appear at the end of ND but she didn't. We just have to wait
>>284610302I'm interested in what kind of life they're living. Are they still in the middle of nowhere or they have normal lifes?
>>284598024Is Saint Seiya shoujo now?
>>284611802I think Shiryu and Shunrei are living together like at the beginning of ND. Hyoga probably living in Russia or something.I have no idea what Ikki does in his downtime.
