Welcome back, everyoneToday, we get a lesson on BuddhismPrevious:>>289518886>>289543551>> 289567418>> 289592114>> 289616544>> 289642516>>289674137>>289699612>>289724870
>>289750780RIP Cassios
>>289750853I dont get why the defeated gold saints dont join them like Mu i can excuse but Aioria should be pissed about what happened to him and his brother
>>289750945
>>289750945 2 virgo Saints
>>289750960Should've waited until he quoted Buddha
>>289750960So Saga is Sukuna?
>>289751082Is this the first time Ikki has used one of his feathers? I genuinely can't remember
>>289751095Badass
>>289750877Hohoho
>>289751197Ikki, as a Saint you technically serve the goddess Athena
>>289750996It fits pretty much every Shaka scene, desu.
Just to clarifyShaka is the reincarnation of A Buddha, not THE Buddha
>>289751293Yeah, but it's the exact same quote that Gojo said
>>289751294It's funny how his name is Japanese version of Buddha, but he isn't really Buddha (just one of his incarnations).
>>289751082Nice hand
>>289751316Buddha (Siddharta Gautama) doesn't reincarnate because he achieved EnlightenmentShaka is the reincarnation of another unspecified Buddha
>>289751066Japanese Buddhism focuses a lot on compassion because it's very easy to fall into the darkest pit of nihilism
>>289751356>Shaka is the reincarnation of another unspecified BuddhaI dont get it
>>289751401This fight is pretty kino desu
>>289751397Buddha is a title
>>289751421I liked its manga version more, even thought I saw the anime first and it's always been considered one of the best Saint Seiya anime fights.
>>289751197Either it was real blood or Ikki is cool enough to imagine evaporating it.
>>289751498>>289751510>2 years old
>>289751528It is metaphorical
>>289751314This guy is Gemini+Cancer+Aries
>>289751356>>289751397Buddha in the Saint Seiya universe is different to Buddha we know from real life, even though both share similarities. Same as Athena is different in many ways to Athena from Greek mythology.
>>289751618Hahahaha lok at that bitch! Running away, because the enemy is too strong.
>>289751510The entire plot in one page
>>289751896Good thing he didnt take his hearing first
Funny that we get to the likely inspiration for one Fairy Tail's most infamous fights just after the new spin-off starts
>>289750649Kurumada's short-term memory spans only four panels; consequently, the black hole of plot holes grows to about 1,500 times the mass of Earth with every manga .
How did this series become so popular in latin america ?Half of the cast sucks ass and only ikki seems to be worth a damn.
>>289751812Always cool
>>289752111>t. TLC "fan"
>>289752214Ikki is just a "manly" edgelord who enters with style once the enemy has been weakened. He's not any better than other Bronze Saints.
>>289752329RIP KEKki.Now, onto the next temple.
>>289752329Based Ikki and kino fight
>>289751498Giant 2 year old Ikki at your service
>>289751664in the CGI show they had Shaka actually zap Ikki to a pile of ashes and scorch mark, only for him to somehow reassemble.
>>289752433So, I didn't really keep up with thatDid it make anyone else a woman?
>>289752433With all shit that went wrong with the CGI reboot in the beginning, Sanctuary arc bit was pretty solid.
>>289752451Only Shun, because burgerians wouldn't handle a man who's not a macho type and not a fag at the same time. That's what I heard anyway. They wanted to pander to the Western audience.
>>289752451The producer said originally they were going to make Aphrodite a woman too but went back on that due to the Shaun backlash. So, instead, Aphrodite's a flamboyant gay guy that whales on Shaun and June kek.
>>289750943They'd never go against the knights' code and dishonor our heroes like that.
>>289752508I was surprised they didn't go with female Scorpio, like in that CGI movie.
>>289752485I gotta respect LoS for genderbending Milo instead of AphroditeIf you HAD to genderbend one of the Bronzes, it should've been Ikki
>>289752536>SpoilerWhy though? He seems like Seya's version of Akira Fudo. Unless you really want a tsundere.
>>289751095definitely the coolest page in the series so far
Hyoga is the perfect saint to turn into a girl.
>>289752578>Contrast with Shun>Has no big MxM ships so you don't lose on Fujobucks>Char reference mask can be made into the remains of her old mask>Yuribait with Esmeralda and Pandora
>>289752626Though she would be considered the Mary Sue, if anything
>>289751294>>289751356What other Buddha is there?
>>289752240So he also invented heavenly restriction?
>>289752661There are ALOT of Buddhas. Just like for the japanese the are alot of ''gods'' since they believe when you die you turn into one. For buddhists I think it's a matter of ascendancy and escaping the ''Samsara''.
>>289752329
>Kill your friend Shiryu
>>289752949Much less gay than in the anime, but still a bit gay
>>289752256>>289752291ALLAHU AKBAR
>>289752949>>289752965Waitwhy is the anime version way gayer?
>>289752980Probably realized they had a fujo audience
>>289752980iirc Takao Koyama was asked about that, and he said the storyboard artist probably threw that in for fanservice.
>>289752329Wait, is Kurumada actually killing off the whole cast now?
>>289753017Okuninushi, if I'm not wrong
>>289752626Japanese fujos fucking love Ikki/Shun, like Ikki/Seiya and sometimes Ikki/Shiryu (I think because they had a short fight in the OVAs)
>>289753017>the bear and the wolf already gave him food>the rabbit kill himself anyways???
remember when Mutsumi Inomata liked making Shun look like a bottom heavy fat girl?
>>289753072Never read a Kurumada manga? That's what he does
>>289752661Traditionally Shaka and Maitreya, then Vairocana and Amitabha are the biggest esoteric players
>>289753073>"If you're from Africa, why are you white?"
>>289753101Nope. I didn't think he had it in him after Shiryu escaped death 4 times and the other Bronzes had their own close calls.
Did you know that Naoko Takeuchi, who probably was somewhat inspired by Kurumada like her husband, wanted to kill off all the Sailor Senshi at the end of the Dark Kingdom?
>>289752240>Shiryu, ton avis sur la question ?>C'est de la connerie.
>>289753167Metal
>>289752276>>289752256 >phoenix is probably one of the saints with the more bullshits/OP powers>somehow his armor is just categorized as the lowest class
>>289753167Yeah, she was pissed her editor said no and then annoyed that the anime got to kill them even if they'd be brought back anyway.Guessing that she originally wanted the Dark Kingdom to be a done-in-one tragic romance tale, hence why she'd considered the whole plot (that Crystal did horribly) of the Shitennou and the other Senshi being past life love interests too.What's funny is the fake-out with her stabbing had blood in the manga, even if we then see her locket and his stones protected them.
>>289752536I totally agree with both statements, kek.
>>289752642They’re covered in spots and bruises all the time, it's a consistency that's less obvious in other action manga
>>289753101Makes you wonder if he'll actually do it to end off the manga at the real ending.>Yes, they're all dead for real this time, seriouslyThough there was a drama CD in the 90s that was an alternate sequel/ending to the Hades arc where Seiya was confirmed to survive, but Saori had died and ascended back to divinity in having transported the guys back to Earth. They then realize they'll have to keep fighting, but now as Gold Saints.
>>289752714But Buddha-related stuff doesn't work that way in Saint Seiya. Even if it has some obvious similarities to the real world.
I'll honestly never understand why only Seiya and Shiryu were Gold Saints in Omega
>>289753254Hyoga's tiny twink in the anime.
>>289753273I definitely believe not all bronze saints will survive. Athena's mission seem to liberate mankind from the gods and Kurumada is a fedora atheist. A world without gods don't need the saints anymore
And so, the most popular Bronze Saint Fujo Ship is established
>>289753318Coincidentially, while fighting one half of the most popular Gold Saint Fujo Ship
>>289753296I stick to my tinfoil hat conspiracy theory that like Tohru Furuya was the only one in the entire set with knowledge about Saint Seiya, he turned Omega into his vanity project. Reminder that Hirotaka Suzuoki (Shiryu) was Furuya's BFF and he was dead when Omega was made
>>289752714I hadn't heard of enlightenment as a concept being equated with the title of Buddha but I guess that makes sense.>>289753117So they have their own unique lore and everything?
>>289753332>KONO HYOGA NI WA YUME GA ARU
>>289753296Hyoga respected his master to the point that he, even though a heir to the Aquarius, didn't feel worthy of becoming the successor. Ikki and Shun prolly decided to keep their armors, because they liked them and they were brothers, so their decisions were binded to each other or some shit.>>289753344Fuck, kek.
>>289753339>I hadn't heard of enlightenment as a concept being equated with the title of Buddha but I guess that makes sense.What's the alternative? Isn't becoming a ''Buddha'' the ultimate goal of buddhist monks? All that ''knowledge of the Universe'' seeking.
>>289752714Yeah, but you have Shaka talking with THE Buddha in those flashbacks from Hades arc.
>>289753373He's right, Hyoga is the only Saint without a win yet, let him have this.
>>289753383I've always heard it as just "following the path of Buddha". The only title I've known multiple people can have is the reincarnating Dalai Llama.
>>289753439ENTER THE SAVIOR?!
>>289753459MY HEROES
>>289753451Hence many fans tend to call him JOBga.
>>289753459I FEEL SO FUCKING SAFE
>>289753439>>289753459>>289753486FUAAARK THE HEROES HAVE RETURNED at last!
>>289753451He beat Babel
>>289753502lol
>>289753486>Special move is just running through a straight lineGod you fucking SUCK Jabu.
>>289753244Other manga have actual downtime in between fights for characters to change their clothes and heal. It is cool in a way for SS to be a gauntlet though.
>>289753550>Y-Yeah we'll stay here to protect Athena of course, too bad you'll have to kill the Golds by yourself Seiya :')My heroes...
>>289753502I feel safe now. Thanks, Bronze Saints.
>>289753454Well, you wouldn't say anyone irl is a Buddha because that would imply conceit. That person is at the end of the path and fully reached divinity and enlightenment.
>>289753550>Ban was made more muscular to align with anime>Nachi got a whole redesign no anime followed with
>>289753588Hyoga vs. his original master, kek.
>>289753631A true clash of titans...
>>289753339>So they have their own unique lore and everything?Shaka is the historically recognized figure who preached and founded Buddhism, Maitreya is the hypothetical figure of the future who will attain enlightenment on his own when everyone has forgotten Buddhism.The others are basically super gods from local folklore with magical domains called Buddha-Field
>>289753649>Then I'll break the icehttps://youtu.be/u0D718AmYTs
>>289753669>Wizard of Ice and WaterOh, don't start with thatIf anyone gets called Unsinkable Battleship I'm outta here
>>289753669Hyoga looks like a kid on the spectrum here to me. Dunno why.
>>289753669>The so-called wiza-SHUT UP
>>289753459Didn't Hydra freeze and shatter into pieces?
>>289753459Our Heroes. And Jabu.
>>289753669>my wizard of-HAHAHAHAHA
>>289753788More like "muh wizard of ice and water". xD
>>289753808Milo struck your pressure point and you will die in 7.4 seconds, Hyoga. Hokuto no Shinken is invincible!
>>289753841Kishimoto traced this
>>289753652>with magical domains called Buddha-FieldThat sounds so fucking chuuni, I love it.>>289753669Why does this page induce so much outrage?
>>289753880God you look fucking stupid, Hyoga. Why can't you be a cool-looking bird like Phoenix?
>>289753868Last year I storytimed KinnikumanDuring it, at one point, characters were suddenly being called by titles they had never had been given at any point
>>289753909He gets the silly swan flapping dance in the anime too
>>289753932To be fair Robin Mask gets called a new nickname almost every fight, his theme song calls him like 5 different nicknames by itself.
Done for todayCome back tomorrow to see if Hyoga beat Milo
>>289751951
>>289754097I don't really like the anime color palettes/redesigns desu.
>>289754097There's relative and there's "I like constantly tortured children souls as decoration" relative to be fair
>>289753384Only the master has the power to remove the golden arrow, but the master wants her dead so why are they even trying to get to him as if he'd be happy to do it....also why didn't the jobber just shoot her with a regular arrow that wouldve simply killed her immediately?
>>289754188Deathmask picked the wrong job. He should join the US army. He'd be a war hero by now, condecorated by the president
>>289750780>>289750855Still a worthless jobber.
>>289750780I want to know if this guy is aware about how Shaina is attracted to Seiya.
>>289751066Gay-on-gay crime
>>289751275Did Shaka visit the Death Queen Island in anime? I can only remember that the anime was quite heavily adapted.
>>289750853>>289750877He's not joining them? I bet the fucking coward is shaking in his boots after Shaka's encounter and the mind control.
>>289751356It's another sect of Buddhism, Mahayana, where they added more fantasy bullshits to draw audiences including the concept of Hell.
>>289751095>No one can just teleport or skip through Zodiac houses in the Sanctuary >unless you're Ikki, the saint who doesn't give a FUCK
>>289751580It definitely is the strongest Bronze cloth, but it's not the way you think, Ikki.
>>289751859>oh no, he's cute
>>289751066>Jesus might forgive you, but I won't
>>289751120I believe so. He only used the mind break punch and phoenix fire punch before this if I'm not mistaken.
>>289753296Ikki is the only one that becoming a gold would be a downgrade. He already has the best cloth.
>>289753072Keep readin'
>>289752240>>289752256
What was Athena's mindset when she gave the Bronze Saints the surprise SSS+ Tier cloth? Did she think it would be funny?
>>289753502Based Ban.
>>289753550Makes you wonder why Mu doesn't get involved now that the other broze saints are here>eh, I did plenty already...
>>289751381If he picked Jinkai, he will just go back and get the bonus of immortality?
>>289754555The Death Queen Island Shaka chapter was written by Kurumada after the fact as a special, then later placed earlier in the volumes
>>289753588>putting the helmet onThis will become a super rare move.
>>289751618Just close your ears.
>>289751787>>289751812>my ultimate attack, copy pasted buddha background!
>>289751951Don't give me that yin yang bullshit now.
>>289752119>the last weapon left to you: your sixth sense!Buddy, you and him are using cosmo. Which is only accessible with the seventh sense.
>>289752276>S-STOP, YOU SHOULD VALUE YOUR LIFE MORE! P-PLEASE DON'T BLOW ME UP INTO PIECES IKKI-SAMA! I FUCKING KNEEL! AAAAAIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKWAB
>>289752642Excellent question, Seiya. I believe this is his third time stripping.
>>289752744>they look like they could smash a whole planet with one blow!Don't overexaggerate now.
>>289752949What the fuck, this breaks my believe of 1 every 5 Saints being gay! That's 3/5!
>>289753017Oh, the Inaba rabbit.
>>289752949
>>289752965>>289752980
>>289755162>No homo
>>289753195Sorry buddy, if you're not part of the big 12 constellations, you're small time. That's the rule.
>>289755112At least Hyoga is not gay despite those ridiculous looking clothes and him being a mama's boy.
>>289755162What happens in the Libra Temple, stays in the Libra Temple
Some animators really loved them a tiny shrimpy Shun.
>>289753459Bullshit, Hyouga freezed and shattered Hydra to pieces.
>>289755237Nachi was mindfucked to being a shell by Ikki too, but somehow bounced back.
>>289753550Kek, little bitches.
>>289753694The swan in the background with a glowing eye made me chuckle. Though I have to admit swans are scary as fuck IRL.
>>289755284glowing eye or the star from the Cygnus constellation
>>289755237He got better.
>>289755211That's not how it works, if your bro sucks your dick without saying no homo, you're gay too.
>>289755162We can't have Hyoga in our social club no more, that I do know.
>>289755759How else would we see the tattoo that was drawn in 1 instance and never again?
>>289751648>>289751618holy shit did they fuck up translation here, those kanji are numbers, bigger and bigger, 10 100 1000 10000 100000000 etc, it's not degrees, it's powers of 10after a while in Japanese they start using random Buddhist words to represent bigger numbers, nayuta is 10^60 not 1060th degree
>>289753195It's all about the cosmo of the wearer.You need the lowest cosmo to wear a bronze armor, and the highest to wear a gold.my headcanon is that all cloths started at the lowest point and could be worn by those who could just move at Mach 1.Then through battles they raised the level of the cloths.Phoenix and Swan were made to be strong cloths but since nobody ever used them they remained stuck as bronze
>>289753829>>289753841Scorpio's special move has always made little sense to me. Fifteen pokes are kinda unnecessary, it's like you're intentionally giving the main character time to gather up their willpower/courage/friendship to beat your ass.
>>289756019But anon, mutts are scared of beeg numbers! They will drop the manga for sure!
>>289756140But anon, he needs a different poison somehow! Else one of the twelve gold saint's ability will be too similar to that jobber Hydra!
>>289754097nah, Shaka just had plot-induced retardation, while Deathmask is objectively a piece of shit
>>289750877https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjIlbdybq0Ihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQzdnbwt6Kw>>289753073>>289753098https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voJYg8AB_ho>>289750945>>289752927https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4FUa0tLFdU
>>289752536>spoilerShould have genderflipped both brothers, desu.
>>289756019The Sentai Filmworks dub had some weird goofs too like claiming there were 12 Bronzes for the 12 constellations early on.
>>289756019What is the unit of measurement then, kilometers?
>>289751197>in this moment I am euphoric>not because of any phony gods or buddhas>but because I am enlightened by my own cloth>*tips otouto*
>>289750976>>289750996suddenly, bdsm!
>>289751095>>289751120magnificent entrance
>>289751294>Shaka is the reincarnation of A Buddha, not THE BuddhaWhy didn't he sense the master's evil? Or Athena's authenticity?
>>289751461>too much for even the demons of helllmao
>>289751580OH SHIT
>>289752276>S-stop! We'll both be p-pulverized!KWAB
>>289750960Any image on Shaka being cut in jealous?
>>289751877>>289751896>>289751934>>289751951>>289751966>>289751985Earthbound TRACED this.
>>289751197>I don't believe in gods and buddhasOda traced that
>>289754037Thanks OP!
>>289759131*halfNot sure how jealous came out there.
