I've been wondering what to do for this year's Summer Storytime, but then Kurumada finally started the Heaven Chapter and so here we areViz, so we'll have to deal with the name changes unless someone can point me to other English scans
>>289519236sick spread
>1024x1536Why are your pages so small? My source is 1500x2250.
>>289519671It's the first one I found, to be honest
>>289518886Finally.
>>289519059>AIEEE
Saga>Shaka
Now, if anyone here is familiar with Saint Seiya that is, if anyone here's a Spic please try to keep spoilers to a minimum
>>289519333Hey, there was no signal to start the fight yet. Screw this fatfuck.
>>289520062Hey, you want rules, go watch a wrestling matchLike the one where the Parthenon got broken in half last week
>>289520118Seriously, the chapter where Robin beats Parthenon was published in the same Jump issue as the first chapter of Saint Seiya
>>289519950And the higher ups aren't doing anything about it? This is some dogshit place.
>>289518886Localized names always suck ass, but it's better this than nothing. Based thread.
>>289520118So much for honor and justice then. And I bet what the bitch said about not using the Cloth for personal gain is bullshit too.
>>289520291You'll notice very quickly that Saints cheat whenever they can in a fight
>>289520165I forgot how goofy it looks.
>>289520061>>289520087haha look at this, this is pure powerscalling shonenspic in all its glory >you can only throw 80 punches per second I can 90 per second This is why we love it
>>289520194damn shina is fucking thicc
>>289520313>called Saints>cheat whenever they can
>>289520194>>289520379Shaina > Marin.
>>289520382Hey, they follow the Godess of Fighting Smart
>>289520385Bro has finally put on some armor (inb4 Cloth).
>>289520359the anime did it better
For those who aren't Spics, it's actually Shaina
>>289520470What makes you think that all Saint Seiya fans who know languages other than English are Hispanics?
>>289518886Athena is shit. Justice for Medusa!
>>289520489SIMP Seiya
>>289520512What I think is that only spics, Italians and French would be familiar enough with Saint Seiya to know their actual names
Do not open unless you want a hot woman stalking you to kill you
>>289520408If Athena is so smart, she should be able to make a convoluted plan to punish Poseidon for raping Medusa in Athena's very own temple. She cursed the victim instead, who is a devoted priestess to Athena. Athena is shit!
>>289520604>>289520627waterfall pussy rn
>>289520658>Falling for Roman propaganda
>>289520658Get the fuck out of here, Ovid

>>289520735>>289520749This basically never comes up againAlsoSienna - Saori
>>289520735Gods damn it, tell me those measurements in metric!
>>289520551The world is way bigger, though.

Brazilians, I forgot Brazilians
>>289520823>As I knight of Athena you should only fight for justice >Athena proceeds to make a cashgrab pointless tournament Yeah I know, Sagitarius armor but still lol
>>289520896It's lost nowadays, but at this point neither Saori nor the audience know she's Athena
>>289520990Jabu bros... It's our time to shine now.
>>289521270She lied once about your sister, what's stopping her from lying a second time?
>>289518936Reminder that all myths are true in Saint Seiya so there was a Perseus that decapited Medusa and there's how Pegasus born
>>289519729Always remind me to Bruce Lee
>>289520340Saint Seiya started it
Guess the main characters
>>289520445The anime intended to sell a toy. It's different
>>289521627It's fascinating to re-read the early chapters because it's obviously Kurumada throwing shit to the wall and see what sticks
Done for todayCome back tomorrow to see who gets to wear the Gold Cloth
Is this slander >>289517611 accurate?
>>289520785>>289520824GET OUT OF MY HEAD
>>289518886I've been waiting for this.Finally an excuse to read saint seiya
>>289522004Thanks OP.Volume 1 and the tournament already started.The pacing is pretty fast.
>>289522004Thank you for posting.
>>289522318The manga's very functional, the anime makes it flashy. You read it now and see what you think.
>>289524806Not that anon, but I don't think I've seen a work described as "functional" before. I guess I'll have to see what you mean by that.
Do I blame this manga for shonenspic faggotry or is Dragon Ball Z to blame?
>>289519749>PAR LES MÉTÉORES DE PÉGASE
>>289521104/our guy/
>>289519076Oh this story starts with a strong ladyI can get behind that
>>289518886FAÇA ELEVAR...O COSMO NO SEU CORAĂ‡ĂƒO!
>>289520379She's a warrior after all, she needs that core strength.
>>289520489>>289520540GENTLEMAN Seiya.
>>289518895Is the author missing fingers? He needs anatomy lessons.
>>289521659It's clear that Kurumada doesn't make manga for financial gain; he makes them for his inner peace, kek
>>289520061I mean, isn't the anime pretty different in some parts anyway? Beyond filler, they changed some details.
>>289519333>5'11 vs 6'0
>>289519236>>289519372The Battle of Alexander at Issus, 1529by German artist Albrecht Altdorfer

>>289521391>>289521424ENTER BEST GIRL
>>289529026My mistake>>289519974>>289519993
>>289518886based, thanks op
>>289519729>>289519749probably the second most iconic attack in shonen jump history, after Kamehameha
>>289520823kinda amazing Sanctuary even allowed this
>>289520990jabubros...
>>289521270>it would be a simple tasklmao
>>289522004thanks ophttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu533OKYHyc>>289522318kinda. Animation and music are fucking amazing, and Kurumada is not an amazing artist
>>289522318you can see a comparison here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBxjIbY-oQo>>289519419>>289519729>>289519749
>>289529922ps, my favorite OST from SShttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mBtQ4fWM4Y
>>289524806not just flashy.sometimes it feels mystical and mysterious.At least that's how it felt to 10 year old me. I haven't watched it again.
>>289529922The animation is whatever but that first song is fucking immaculate. If someone posted tracks during the dump, that'd be the best of both worlds to me.
>>289520927I didn't know
>>289531110Well, forget it
>>289528573Kurumada has autism. That mean he excels at backgrounds, composition and mechanical designs but he can't draw humans. See also Steve Ditko and Hideaki Anno
>>289531309I didn't know either. How could OP spoil me like this?
>>289520669why is he randomly climbing a pillar?
>>289521532Boo! No rules!
>>289520785doesn't the original say that they are all his sons? he fathered them not just adopted
>>289521643Honestly a round robin tournament would make more sense
>>289534025That's not revealed yet
Would you watch the Galaxian Wars or the Scramble for the Throne?
>>289522004Thanks OPDid you start because it was brought up in that other thread?How long is the manga? I'll try to keep up but fitting a big storytime into an anime season this stacked might be a big ask
>>289534606I started cause my Holidays started, to be honestAnd picked this one since I already did Kinnikuman and there were relatively recent Dragon Ball and Hokuto no Ken Storytimes, plus Kurumada finally getting off his ass and starting the final chapterIt's 28 Volumes long
Reading Ring ni Kakero's current translations make me learn how Kurumada invented the battle shonen mold, but also how he never grew past it. It must've blown WSJ kids' minds back then, but once you see a series with choreography and hit impacts, it's hard to look back
>>289518886Ok that's unexpected. Thanks anon!
>>289518886ITS TIME
Just for funWhen Saint Seiya debuted, Robin beat Parthenon, Juza made his entrance and Goku was fighting Jackie Chun
>>289519333Cassios says this, but his teacher is Italian
>>289520359To be honest, I think I kinda like this more than how the anime does it
>>289518886Manga or anime?
>In the Saint Seiya official encyclopedia, Shaina appears as Seiya's main love interest along with Saori, it’s stated that Shaina has a 70% chance of being in a romantic relationship with Seiya.wat
>>289537405MIho really can't catch a break
>>289536649Kurumada doesn't remember what he wrote just two panels ago and that's when he's at his best so just imagine what a disaster *Tenkai-hen* is.
Thanks OP. Do you plan to story time other series in the Saint Seiya franchise when you're done with the original?
>>289538393Might do Next Dimension in December, if that has any English scans
>>289518886Ah shit, am I really gonna take an hour of my day to read another long as fuck storytime?Yes
>>289537492Just imagine if Miho babysit Seiya and Saori's children
Why is there a big split on the fanbase about the last canvas?
>>289540096Everybody seems to love TLC. I don't see the appeal but it's common to find spics that believe not only TLC is superior to the original but also that Kurumada was jealous of its success (despite ND consistenly outsold TLC) and he used his influences to cancel the anime (complete horseshit)
>>289520152man, what the fuck was VIZ thinking with those horrendous sound effects. shit ruins every panel they're in
>>289540096I see some people hating it and it does have many annoying fanboys.>>289540147After reading both, I probably prefer Lost Canvas, even if it was mostly mediocre to bad once they get into the boat.
One thing I've noticed is that Saori comes across as somewhat more... smug in the early manga than in the early anime
>>289540096People had issues with the Alone/Hades reveal and that the Gold Saints got more focus than Tenma.I liked the Gold Saints getting fleshed out but Tenma felt like a side character to the point where certain reveals about his family felt like a forced attempt to make him relevant.
>>289520990Gintama ruined(?) this dude for me, I started laughing as soon as he appeared.
>>289521627Kek from right to left he gave up on the last 2 designs until Seiya, one is a copy paste of the biggest dude..
