Welcome back, everyoneToday, we finish up this arcPrevious:https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/289518886/https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/289543551/https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/289567418/https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/289592114/https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/289616544/https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/289642516/https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/289674137/https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/289699612/https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/289724870/>>289750649>>289778069>> 289801735>> 289826436>> 289855230>>289881278>>289907728>>289933314
I still don't know the Doylist reason for why Hyoga wasn't Aquarius in Omega
>>289960611So how many of you are reading this for the first time?
>Poseidon arc ends todayThank god
>>289960780I have only watched the anime as a kid, in my first time reading i dropped it at the 12 temples.
>>289960780I have a rough idea of what the series is, but I've never read the manga.
>>289960671https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkIF8JucbCE
>>289960699 Kurumada screwed up with Shun and Ikki
>>289960780first exposure that isn't an AMV
>>289960757Hyoga was in Omega? I only remember that mystery man.
>>289960757Goldies are the main saints, and their numbers are set in stone.
>>289961235Also, there's a 50% chance that some superhumans used to wrestle on top of it
>>289961158It is surprising how Shaina's cloth didn't receive an upgrade like Jabu's did
Was it explained what happened to Poseidon's body?
>>289961369Presumably, he keeps it in Olympus, like how Hades keeps his in Elysium
>>289961446 did he appear in ND?
>>289961292She was a silver saint after all.
>>289960780A year or two or three back I read straight through the start to the Hades arcs. I only used to catch the odd episode as a kid (and I was always disappointed that each new character was another guy). However I do love beautiful strong men and fancy armors and astrology. Too bad it's all boring as shit, just the same formulaic fights over and over. Is the anime worth a watch, does the filler help flesh out the characters at all?
>>289960611There are only two people in the USA who are *SS* fans:one is the director of Anime News Network,and the other:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAmWNogln6s
>>289961506Poseidon, have you been hanging out with Excalibur?
>>289961446>more foreshadowing
>>289961557Him? That Man? The guy?
>>289960757last time i checked the aquarius cloth ended up on a different dimension that goes beyond time
>>289961506>Poseidon could awake at any timeThis raises questions about the seal.
>>289961574Poseidon PLEASE check your fucking employees
>>289961557Let's be honest, there are two gods this could be, and after one of the Big Three one of those would be a downgrade
>>289961572That person.
Gonna go have dinner for a moment
>>289961598Personally, for my money, it's gotta be Dionysos. No one liked that asshole anyway.
>>289961591I still think it was all destined to happen so there was no other Sea Dragon other than Kanon.
>>289961598>I will sleep for 13 years more.>>289961591 he out lazy-ied Ker
>>289961375>>289961557Yeah having the names written on the pedestals makes more sense than "well he just figured what it was" I guess it was probably meant to be in greek.
>>289961514I think the anime makes the fights less boring (and the soundtrack is phenomenal), but most of its filler is bad and introduces a host of plot holes. It's a "pick your poison" scenario.
>>289961120Our faurking hero everyone
>>289960780Me, but I watched the anime back then. Can't remember much but little bits here and there.
I finally got into the mood to read manga but fuck I still like 8 volumes behind
>>289961514i wont lie the galaxian wars and black saints/phoenix arcs are actually well done in the anime with a decent pacing and shit but after that it becames a mix of both filler and stretched scenes with slow pacing and inconsistency art.
I want a Kinnikuman/Saint Seiya crossover purely to have Suguru and Seiya do a tag move combining the Buster and the Rolling Crash
>>289961514At some point there's 30 episodes of straight filler, but if you skip em and get to Hades you're good.
Was you that storytimed the Yugioh and Digimon manga OP?
>>289962107Digimon, yeahYu-Gi-Oh, no
>>289962164Seiya, you dense motherfuckerHow do you not get it yet?
>>289960882Poseidon knows Hokuto Shinken?
Have you tried doing literally anything else?
>>289961135>>289961158HOLY TANKED!
>>289962257Ah, the Future Dads SquadKouga might as well have been SeiSao's son and only wasn't cause Toei was too cowardly
>Poseidon watching an entire group getting wiped by their own arrow with a slightly confused expression
>>289961158Shaina, this might be the adrenaline talking, but you've never looked more beautiful...
>>289962164But crushing dreams is for villains >>289962185Absolute idiocy at its finest. Isn't the idea to shoot the mainstay to free Athena? Can we not.. shoot anywhere around Poseidon? >>289962257Oh for fucks sake
>>289961505I am talking more with hindsight.
>>289961590Anon, it's just a misogyny.>that woman sealed me, but I could've broken it at any time! I just didn't want to!Of course, my lord...
>>28996125210 fucking DAYS?What are his lungs made out of?
>>289961283Why is it ALWAYS this fucking pose?
>>289962373>Isn't the idea to shoot the mainstay to free Athena?Actually, the arrow is not strong enough to destroy de mainstay. Neither are the arms of Libra.
>>289962545Athena's cosmos saved him, clearly. He stated as much.
>>289961421How do we feel about translators making ancient characters speak in old english or giving Accents based on the characters nacionalities?
I will forever be amused by the fact that Julian would've been born the same year as Percy Jackson's mom
>>289962620I mean, they probably *do* speak old-timey Japanese in the raws. Makes sense to me on that regard.Accents are a bit more of a gray area for me but most of the time it's more distracting that it should be because most translations have no restraint
>>289962641Sorrento, everyone's gonna die
>>289961158If in the future Seiya doesn't fill her constantly with children, I'm gonna be mad.
>>289962620It adds flavor, and tje old English makes sense because the original has Poseidon using archaic terms. I don't recall it here but I distinctly remember Hades refereing to himself using "yo", which is akin to the royal "we."
>>289962700>"Do you think I would be freaking out so badly if I knew that?"
>>289962572you gotta admit this is a cool panel sequence
>>289962426>No snakePoor Shaina
>>289961306>sea god's trident>sealed it in a place with high humidity>the seal is made of fucking paperThe goddess of wisdom and strategy, ladies and gentlemen.
>>289962735>lightning boltHey! That's not your gimmick!
>>289962741Well, it held on for hundreds of years and would've gone on for longer if Kanon didn't disturb it so...
>>289962741Athena in the world of Saint Seiya clearly isn't the brightest goddess.
>>289962747God of Storms
>>289962754ENTER
>>289962741Look, she's trying her best alright?
>>289962802>tanked a god's lightning bolt
>>289961506I was impressed Athena managed to seal Poseidon somehow. But then he said this, is this just another lie and gaslighting or it's just Athena being Athena?
>>289962771If Saint Seiya was mythological accurate, they could have won against Poseidon by simply exploiting his notorious weakness against femboy/twinks.
>>289962833Or, hear me out anon... Poseidon is a sore loser and full of shit. OBVIOUSLY.
>>289962833Regardless of the answer, would a Greek God really say "Yeah I got my ass beat"?
>>289961557>starts vagueposting>nevermind thatFUCK YOU!
>>289961557Why not use Kanon? It's not like any mythological figure that fucked Poseidon over was named Kanon.
>>289962833Considering future events, Poseidon just got really bored and decided to just go to sleep for millenia, until he noticed the next enemy was also awakening
>>289961557KEK, this guy starts looking around the room for a name cracks me up.
>>289962894>Do you want to die?You guys have been trying to find excuses to kill yourselves the entire arc. Don't play pretend.
>>289961598 Did Athena ever fought Hades in the myths?
>>289962925Rerise used it as a gag.
>>289961969You can do it! I believe in you!
>>289962936I don't think Hades fights anyone in myths. He just rules the underworld.
>>289962155You living niggas should be ashamed!
>>289962961 Saint Seiya!Hades is basically Divine Comedy's Satan, his castle is where Satan was imprisoned in that book
>>289962936Does she even have a quarrel with other gods that isn't in The Iliad? Hades being the bad guy is obviously more about modern cultural sensibilities than his actual role in myths
>>289962185>>289962206Mihobros...how do we respond?
>>289960917Sagitta >>>>>>>>>>> Sagittarius
>>289963021Demether probably
>>289962164Gods damn it all, Seiya! She told you about the fucking mask! You can't be this dense!
>>289962257That was kinda sexist out of you Shiryu.
>>289962257Tanked without a cloth. I swear, Shiryu's vitality is off the charts.
During the manga's original run, did it do popularity polls?
>>289962936No, but Hades is one of the two options because of pop culture
>>289960851Smugseidon
>>289962656Not going to use the spear again?
>>289962314I can barely tell Shun and Shaina apart in this page.
>>289962497>Shun and Shaina's faces are almost traced
>>289962868>>289962875That's what I thought, lies and gaslighting. But it's Athena, so I had my doubt.
>>289963260Anon... Just use Ctrl + S...
>>289963260Ctrl+s
>>289963145 the opponents were named in sanctuary, Poseidon, Hades and Zeus
>>289962867>Shun would take down myth accurate Poseidon
>>289963294https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q34Qxl5HINg
>>289963266>>289963294The spoiler function was acting weird
>>289963342One of these days I'm gonna remember to flip one of these spreads
>>289961306That's a japanese talisman rebranded with greek on papyrus
>>289961320The new king of Britain
>>289963405They are in Greece
>>289963342weaker than GE
>>289963378A Buddha and Excalibur are in Seiya's army and Hades is basically Divine Comedy Satan
>>289963404Shun being Virgo really screwed him, otherwise he could participate in these gold team ups instead of being the filler punching bag.
>>289963459*Athena's army
It's hilarious that even Asgard contrived a reason to blind Shiryu
>>289962936Hades is a one of the chillest god in the myth. Won't disturb you unless you did some bullshit like Sisyphus or Orpheus. Hell, he gave them some leeway too.
>>289963040Kek, now that you mention it. Sagitta struck a goddess' with a golden arrow alone.
>>289963552One silver had to be competent
>>289963145>spoilerI'm blaming Disney for that.
>>289963573COMBINE YOUR FUCKING COSMOSGOD
>>289963584 It is because Hades is associated with hell, you can see it way back during the silver saints arc
>>289963604How big are these rods?
>>289962292>ASSEMBLE THE MEAT SHIELD
Hilarious how in Rerise of Poseidon every other Mariner hates Kanon and are only working with him because they have no other option
>>289963706https://youtu.be/ADXvTx0Rgos
>>289963630Tut tut, there's only the Underworld in the Greek myth and good people goes there too. I'm just being particularly picky about how Hades is portrayed in pop culture.
>>289963746Well it makes sense, and was the most character development an enemy army got.
>>289963687Ikkibros, why is he giving up...?
>>289963764It is pretty older, see those renaissance paintings
>>289963730Man, Dead End Symphony is such a banger track.https://youtu.be/n4J7Muy0eOs?si=Rm8oM54YKvx4nbrF
>>289963459 I think you're thinking of Satan in Paradise Lost. Divine Comedy Satan doesn't get any characterization or dialog whatsoever
>>289963839Funny how despite having foldable wings, Kurumada always draw them in full.
>>289963857Eh, they get mixed up in my headIt's also mostly his Surplice and the fact that the Underworld here is Dante's Inferno
>>289962735If I hear the words "huge cosmo" one more time
>>289961557>Oh hey, it's another holy war>*Goes back to bed*
>>289963857 Saint Seiya afterlife is modeled after the divine comedy, Hades is used as a stand in for satan, his armor even has six wings like a seraphim
>>289963883How about strong cosmo instead?
Does Ikki have the time to learn the Mafuba before Seiya kills himself?
>>289963459Poseidon kinda jobbed like a bitch
>>289963925>All matter on this Earth is composed of atoms>What?>They are small particle composed of neutrons, protons and electrons, but that's not important right now
>>289963975He's down. But is he out?!
>>289964036>Sorrento playing dramatic music in the background
>>289964081KWAB
>>289964081I don't know whyBut I suddenly got reminded of the white guy in a Nigga Moment
>>289963524>Tonfa? >yeah on tonfa these balls!!
>>289962314STRONG cosmo
>>289963925>>289963965And how exactly is knowing that going to help you destroy the pillar? Next time, just say>LET'S HIT IT HARDER, WITH MY BODY! I LOVE SACRIFICING MYSELF SO MUCH! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
>>289964100Athena died for your sins
>>289964121Same way felling Poseidon wasn't possible until it was. Intent shapes reality.
>>289964146MOTHERFUCKER
>>289964052What the fuck is Ikki talking about? How did he know it's Athena? It could be Hera taking pity on him. Maybe it's Gaia instead.
>>289963807I swear these guys spends like 50% of the manga flat on the ground
>>289964178where is Shun?
>>289964170The genmaken lets Ikki delve into his mind. He recognized the cosmos in it. He didn't hear the story, he saw it for himself.
>>289964181Why do you think everyone is so suicidal? Brain damage is no joke.
>>289964081That's actually well thought out for Kanon.
>>289964193Shaka is alive, and he is no Ikki
The Full Nelson is to Saint Seiya what the Rolling Sobat is to Kinnikuman
>>289964197Okay, that's fair. I forgot his Sharingan.
>>289964193Poseidon is keeping him to enjoy later.
Come to think of it, are Hades' Skeletons the only foot soldiers to have a name?
>>289964275What are you talking about? Poseidon has the mariners. The big guys guarding the pillars are marine generals.
>>289963965>when we destroy something we're basically crushing the atoms within that objectYeah crushing an egg in my fist is the same thing as nuclear fission, totally
>>289964292I assumed that Mariner was the name equivalent to Saints, although the only non-General Mariner that we see besides the fish guys is Thetis
>>289964292 Contrary of Athena and Poseidon, Hades's foot soldiers (a.k.a. skeletons) have their own name and transforming armor
>>289964334The original text doesn't say crushing atoms but severing the union of atoms. That's what destruction means.
>>289963965confirmation that the feats aren't literal
>>289964140No, they combined their cosmos and got gold cloth boosts
>>289964382>When you son wrecks your home to save his girlfriend
>>289964193Shun & Shaina got knocked out ages ago so I guess they're lying around on the ground nearby...
>>289964429>almost encompass the universe nowI'm just gonna assume this is a hyperbole.
>>289962292This was really a good arc to end the anime.
>>289964470Funny how this is the reverse of the anime
>>289964486Good thing for Shaina that she's unconscious
>>289964486Is Seiya and Saori shipping a thing?
>>289964478 The next one is basically a repeat
>>289964371AND I FORGOT MY DINNER IN THE OVEN!
>>289964513Rerise didn't keep Poseidon's scar
>>289964514Oh yeah.I don't particularly like it.
>>289963730Is Sorrento supposed to be the strongest mariner?
>>289964539He has twink bonus
>>289964539He or Kanon. I honestly think either could kill the other based on circumstances.
>>289964470Rare Athena being useful.
>>289964565Oh, you're in for a treat now.
>>289964539My FUARKING VILLAIN Kassa is stronger.
>>289964532Is this kinda ZeLink were they like each other but cant be together for reasons?
>>289964585There's just no romance at all. This isn't that kind of manga, bro.
>>289964600She nearly kissed a comatose Seiya during the silver saints arc.
>>289964585I don't think there is a reason they can't, besides usual god/mortal incompatibility stuff. They just never get around to knowing each other more intimately, as there's always a fight going on.
>>289963459Greek Buddha and Satan are historically accurate but I'll elaborate during the next arc
>>289964617I should've been more specific. There's a ton of romance in the shape of longing or expressing feelings, but you never see any kind of romantic love actually occur.
>>289964532If Seiya tries to plap a god, will the cum go back into his balls?
>>289963023Tell her to tank two attacks for his man. Or at least try praying like the chink girl.
>>289962257>>289962278This is a Zapp Brannigan tier strategy.
>>289964644Theres not a lot of that either though. If not shoujo why drawn like shoujo :/
>>289964685>azure waves.>Their armors are gold on color
>>289964703The story of Ikki and Esmeralda is a beautiful tragedy.
>>289964720She looks more feminine than usual here.
>>289964742>humans are not so ignorant as to destroy their own homeUhhhh...
Does nobody on these threads know how to use Ctrl+s?
>>289964782phone posters probably
>>289964756Why are you, er, spoiling stuff from the previous arc? It's fine, it's been storytimed already.
>>289964758I mean, he's kind of an Incel, Saori
>>289964800>Please, allow me to kill myself off just like my twin brother.What did Kurumada mean by this?
>>289964800He died as he lived.Imitating his twin.
>>289964800Imagine Seiya's reaction. He doesn't know Kanon and must be thinking it's Saga somehow.
>>289964829Poetry.
>>289964854The cuck shed.
>>289964854>Nooo, you're not defeating me, woman! I can break out of this whenever I waaaaant!!!
>>289964748Because she's drawn really differently.
>>289964854Mafuba!
>>289964877He was right
>>289964893Solo is beyond saving, Athena. It was a huge flop. Get better taste in movies.
>>289964513This arc had pretty good AthenaxSeiya and ShainaxSeiya moments. Miho was found dead in a hot car
>>289964926Was this really necessary?
>>289964944Probably not. The anime scrapped it.
>>289964919What?
>>289964919Long before Ponyo we had the story of Julian and Tethys...cute
>>289964919Comfy.
>>289964800How does Seiya even know about Kanon?
Done for todayCome back tomorrow to see who Poseidon was talking about
>>289964951>palestinienuh oh
>>289964531It's just blood
>>289964877 not sure if it's an anime only thing, but i'm pretty sure Poseidon gets ahold of Julian again to give Seiya and Co. their gold cloths
>>289964758>I was born as Athena, but Julian was possessed by PoseidonCool, if that's the reasoning behind her not being able to control her cosmo well enough. But there's another bullshit. If it's so bad, how come she managed to save Kanon's ass as a fucking baby? How the hell did she even know who and where he is? Is baby Athena just that much better then the current Athena? Is that why she was such a fierce girl, telling Jabu to be his little bitch horse? Her past personality and power are still strong but it's diminishing overtime?
No profiles today, so>Baian - 18 - Canadian>Kasa - 21 - Portuguese>Io - 17 - Chilean>Isaac - 14 - Finnish>Krishna - - Sri Lankan>Sorrento - 16 - Austrian
>>289964990>>289965007Noooooooo
>>289964748Drowning works wonders
>>289964990She's just pretending to be dead, right?
>>289965007Very underwhelming arc compared to the sanctuary hope that the next one os better
>>289964919>>289964926This is the most awkward unintentionally funny flashback i've ever seen in my life so far.
>>289965038Last panel suggests she was alive again and swam away
This one is considered the worst arc of the series, isn't it?Felt pretty uninspired, irrelevant even.
>>289964990NOOOOOOO SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE!!!
>>289965007See, he set the plot of the fish up and then paid it off.The Christopher Nolan of manga.
>>289965007Thanks OP!
>>289965007Thanks OP
>>289965066Anon... she's belly up.
>>289965008Black Pegasus, you're supposed to be dead.
>>289965124The curve makes it look like she's swimming.
>>289965054>>289965084I honestly like it quite a bit, and the art has improved a lot since the previous. You can even see Kurumada doing some experimental things here and there, like the sequence when they run past Poseidon.
>>289961375Episode G versionYes it's a 4-pages splash page
>>289965154She dead.
>>289961071>Noooo Seiya! You'll die for real this time!
>>289965157Honestly, the Ep. G art has grown on me.
>>289965156I disagree Kurumada had a lot of experimantation before in Shaka, Saga and even deathmask fights, Poseidon arc also lacks the personal beef between the characters that makes up for some underwhelming fights like Camus and Shura
>>289965167That's dumb, what'd she die of? Swimming?
>>289965184It's weird how Shaina kinda fits as a honorary main character, like the taken female of the group.
>>289965202She says she'll carry Julian to land even at the cost of her life.You see her on land.Sorrento is crying, ffs.
>>289964971GAY
>>289965032Shut up, stop noticing plot holes.
How did the fish get a human body?
>>289965232What was he too heavy? Sorrento couldn't be bothered to help?
>>289961135>>289961158Beat Girl
>>289965198Kanon is a better villain than Saga. You see him actively execute his plot rather than sit on his ass like a showa Kamen Rider villain. There's a ton of good interactions like Eo and Shun, or the fight with Kasa. It's got plenty going for it.
>>289965235What plot hole is that? Athena needed the urn to beat Poseidon and when she got it, she did.
>>289965262The sea was falling on them.And Sorrento wasn't even there, last you see him before the epilogue he's at the north Atlantic pillar.
>>289965032She's a girl anon and this is a boys show. Anyway, her saving Kanon is the same as her saving the knights by praying in the mainstay/interrupting Sorentos song
>>289965268Kanon is a fucking loser that gets humiliated the whole fucking arc Also we see Saga do and struggle a lot
>>289965084Kinda like a filler to take time and think about the next main plot, or doing some Alpha test
>>289965294>the sea was falling on themShe's a mermaid
>>289965316>Kanon is a fucking loserSo is Saga.
>>289964902>>289964893What happened to all the other saints? they were was bad as Julian
>>289965326Asking how she died by swimming is like asking how a man can die bu running on land until he drops. If you overexert yourself, you can die. It's not rocket science.
>>289964854>>289964877Damn you anons, I thought it's really going to go down like Mafuuba. I'm disappointed it goes like the Fenton Thermos instead.
>>289965330Nah Saga fucked people up and hyped to the max, Ikki literaly turns his back on Kanon and tells that he is not even worth fighting
>>289965332Died. Same as the previous arc.They'll be fine by the next one.
>>289960757Omega was Tohru Furuya's vanity project. Shiryu became gold saint because Hirotaka Suzuoki was Furuya's BFF
>>289964919She's a yaoguai!
>>289964990>>289965007Fishe... thanks OP.
>>289964758>I was born as Athena.Some spinoffs forgot this
>>289965279I'm talking about how inconsistent Athena's cosmo is.
Is there a reason for why Seiya and Hyouga not succed Aioros and Camus? Shiryu i can underatand since Dohko hates him
>>289964927Does anybody ship Seiya with Miho?
>>289965034>>Sorrento - 16 - AustrianThe only one who is landlocked
>>289963925I'm sure Hiromu Arakawa read Saint Seiya. She definitely read B't X
>>289965326She hit some rocks
>>289964486Just kiss already.>>289964514About het couples, women ship Saori/Saga and men ship Seiya/Shaina but Kurumada and Toei loves SeiSao
>>289965034Krishna is 19
>>289965369Well, he needed to rush to get the urn, and Ikki always likes to say tough guy shit. He was about to be killed a moment ago, too.
>>289964703Kurumada read a lot of shoujo but he only cared for the pretty boys while the rest of creators of his time were looking inspiration to start the waifu movement
>>289964990>>289965007Kino ending
>>289965485I prefer it, actually. Seiya is a pretty plain and down to earth dude and so is she.But any actual relationships in the manga are very hard to happen.
Talking about adaptations, why the Hades ovas were only released after Overture?>>289965580Weird considering the moments in this arc.
>>289965184Kurumada said that he was exhausted during the Poseidon arc. At that point he was drawing non-stop for 10 years. Actually you have to thanks Noriko Sakai to keep Kurumada motivatedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMZnESzCSdA
>>289965639>Talking about adaptations, why the Hades ovas were only released after Overture?Because Toei are greedy retards>Weird considering the moments in this arc.Shipping faggotry is deep down waifu/husbando faggotry. Saga is the tormented pretty boy who is evil but not really evil and women want to fix him while Shaina is a yandere so men want to fix her
>>289965624Considering this is Japan and Kurumada is a very traditional Japanese man, the intended ending may be Athena reaching Enlightment or something so she leaves after all the gods are defeated and Seiya marries Miho for obligation, just like Naruto and Hinata. Nips don't marry for love but obligation, that's why they don't bother when they cheat
>>289965919There's absolutely no obligation here, though, since they're both penniless orphans.I doubt there'll be any definite resolution to any couple's relationship, but if by some cosmic miracle Seiya and Miho end up together, it's 100% because they both want it.
>>289965639>OvertureMan, what a bad movie that was. It was well made, but the plot is dogshit. Hyoga and Shiryu fight and beat Odysseus OFF-SCREEN. The fights are the whole reason this story exists, ffs.
>>289966202Miho was always behind Seiya since they were kids. In Japanese mindset, Seiya is obligated to take care of Miho as a husband. Same reason why Naruto married Hinata
>>289966229It was really confusing
>>289966232Never watched Naruto.Kurumada is an old-fashioned dude, sure, but I still doubt he sees it that way.
>>289964919>>289964926He was curiously attractive, for a fishman.
Fun fact: In the infamous musical from 1992 starring SMAP, they added an extra scene where Kanon says Sorrento to leave the temple and then he confessed his love. In the musical, Sorrento was genderbend for some reason so it was jusy 50/50 yaoi
>>289965919>>289966232I think you're too much into it, Naruto married Hinata because she was the most relevant female that liked him, and Sasuke married Sakura for the reason.
>>289962936greek gods don't really fight each other directly, even in the Trojan war they favor certain fighters and help them fight other humans. There is one exception. The most based greek herohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diomedes>He was the only human except for Heracles to be granted strength (with permission) to directly fight with immortals themselves and injures two Olympian immortals (both Ares and Aphrodite) in a single day. However, he still displays self-restraint and humility to retreat before Ares and give way to Apollo thus remaining within mortal limits
>>289964919>>289964990>>289965007Kinda random for all the Mariners to be actual people but she a fish. Also RIP.
>>289963342proto AE
>>289964539him and Kanon, but Limnade clears
>>289964990>I will now pleasure myself with this fish
>>289964121He's just rationalising that it's still possible.
>>289966327Considering his twin brother's work, Hinata always was an idealized waifu.
>>289966280When Sorrento is the siren mariner and some specters will give precedent to the idea
>>289966503What? Ruby was the Sakura equivalent in 666 Satan
>>289965639because toei is filled with morons
>>289966705The Sakura was the cyclops girl, she married not!Naruto.Kirin was based on Masashi, through him I learned that Masashi used to play baseball
>>289964486Mihosisters......>>289965007>kill off fish waifu>Julian travels the world together with his femboyHow gay was Kurumada?
>>289961557>Atrantichow are Japs so bad with R and L? just use a fucking dictionary
>>289960780Watched the anime up to Sanctuary 6 years ago. This is the first time reading the manga.
>>289965297Fair, but I'll keep dunking on her whenever possible.
>>289962257Is there a bigger bro than Shiryu?
>>289963190Anime made it worse giving them the same hair color
>>289963687Fun fact: in the anime this scene is basically the opposite, with Ikki even stating Kanon is not even close to Saga. This is compounded by anime Phoenix Cloth having Gold Blood but never shining against Kanon, implying Ikki was never serious.
>>289962754ENTER and he's absolutely livid!
>>289963965>everything is atoms just hit harder bro
>>289963584This was before that tbf
>>289965557>Woman>grew up in the 80sShe had to have been a fan
>>289964081KanonbrosIkki said we weren't worth it
>>289965485Akifumi Kaneko
>>289970076No, that scene happens earlier in the anime, just like the manga. Ikki says he's as strong as Saga wheb Kanon is kicking his ass just like in that page.
>Sanctuary Gauntlet again but the Sanctuary is lamer>they fight Gold Saints but lamer>also the mastermind if Saga but lamerKurumada had a rough life...
>>289962085Creepy scene.
>>289962641Sorrento went back to having wings instead of a cape.
>>289963194>>289963218>>289963245This scene is hype as fuck in the anime, whenever I rewatch it I watch this scene multiple times.
>>289965663And for what? This arc is a total rehash of the previous. I know mangaka have bills to pay but it's downright cruel the way the industry works
>>289963975He's been an appetizer.
>>289963591Those double nunchuks what the fuck are they called?
>>289963665>you urchinsHow thematically accurate.
>>289963925>I'll throw my body against the pillar because SCIENCE!
>>289963965>wanna throw down there big fuckin' wall? just destroy 'em atoms breh
>>289964067>"I left the urn in the most convinient place for Athena in fact"Wow...
>>289964336Marine Generals are basically Poseidon's Gold Saints, Tethys is basically a loose Silver Saint of some kind and the others are just foot soldiers.
>>289964407>You mortals will eventually pollute not just this Earth but the entire galaxy>inbefore AYYYLMAOs
>>289965580Women also ship Mu/Shaka or random stuff like Milo/Aiolia.
>>289964536>"AHH SHIEET AQUARIUS CAME BACK FOR REVENGE!"
>>289971710All nunchucks are double. These are triple nunchucks.
>>289965031It happened in the manga too, Sorrento is with him.
>>289971936Well, the mainstay is supposed to be indestructible. You would've put it in there too.
>>289964958It implied that Tethys was a real mermaid though.
>>289972385Oh shit, yeah, I forgot about that.What a magnificent crescendo of a finale, goddammit. Undersea temple is amazing.https://youtu.be/S6vABSVRlGE?si=yLPW31uSCr0qpydf
>>289972341Yeah but what are the triple ones even called?
>>289965184Which word is the one repeated the most in Saint Seiya? "Seiya" or "Cosmo"?
>>289972507The word "cosmo" vexes me. In japanese, clearly is rolls off the tongue better than "kosumosu" so they drop the last syllable. But in translation? Come the fuck on, guys, it's not a word. Just use cosmos, ffs.
>>289972766I can't see or hear "Cosmo" without thinking of the Fairly Oddparents
>>289972442It sounds as if they were tearing a live dog apart.
>>289963245https://youtu.be/4XnH8wJyptQ?t=168¡SHIRYU TIENE LA ARMADURA DE LIBRA!
>>289961514>However I do love beautiful strong men and fancy armors and astrology.L O N D O N
>>289965919The post-Hades 1990s drama CD by Kurumada did have Athena ascend back to divinity, leaving the five Bronzes to have to continue fighting as Gold Saints without her. I guess at that point he hadn't had hope of getting back to Tenkai-hen.
>>289965639Hades was originally going to be adapted in the early 90s, there was a music album made for it, but sponsor issues killed it.There was a proposal that sold on Yahoo Auctions years ago called "Saint Seiya 2" that was a TV series pitch covering Hades. Then, they thought of doing it on a year-long OVA budget. Then it died on the vine until the 2000s.
The anime sparing Thetis was so they could do a shout-out to "Splash" with her swimming away as a mermaid. There used to be some comparisons between the scenes on JP twitter, was interesting.
>>289965222For a while I mixed her with Shun because I forgot she was there and thought Shun was suffering at the distance (and I forgot too that Shun's hair is shaded in gray).
>>289972111Poseidon's footsoldiers are low bronze level
>>289965034>Isaac is FinnishOh thank god I thought we were stuck with Black Swan as our saint rep.
>>289974078Yes, if someone is interested, can listen the original hades opening on YouTube. The title Is Dead or dead"
>>289974773Here's the whole thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BH0-PDWJGE&list=PLWUjS_rKSXdrbFiZk1ds0H0rhrdlrzzliThe cover isn't a spoiler at all...
>>289960846I always found interesting how neither this or Pegasus Fantasy show a single gold saint
>>289975013Would this have been prefered to what we got?
>>289974673The anime showing Shaina at the end unmasked with the rest really shows how she's a girlier, lighter haired Shun too.
>>289974773When the OVA plan finally did come into action, they originally considered having a Hades-fied "Soldier Dream" as the OP with Spectres in place of the Mariners and Asgard Warriors.Instead, we got that idol OP that seemed to pander more to the fujoshi crowd.
>>289964919>>289964990>>289965007Weirdly beautiful.
>>289964977Ponyo is inspired on the the legend of the white snake, a Chinese legend about a snake that is helped by a boy but she was actually a spirit and years later return as a young lady and his caretaker was a young man. It was adapted as the movie Hakujaden by Toei animation and the female lead was Miyazaki's first waifu
>>289965001In Final Edition, Hyoga tells Seiya about Kanon
>>289962292ah yes, the Ancient Book of History...what the fuck is the Ancient Book of History?
>>289976825Get a load of this readlet.
>>289976825I think it's pretty self-explanatory, anon.
I can't tell what's happening in Episode G most of the time as I read it.
>>289965430Cosmo in general is wildly inconsistent, that seems to be one of its features.
I guess this thread won't survive until the next part, considering it's already past bump limit
