>>290037006>I already told you I don't know, dipshit
>>290037207SAM RAIMI!?
>>290037477>Raimi>Rape rootswas it intentional?
>>290037673Do these pillars have galaxy level durability?
>>290037880>AIEE!
>>290037880>"Tell Bruce Campbell I love him!"
>>290037933Psst, you forgot your name.
>>290037880>AIEE
>>290037911>>290037933>mu still hasn't arrived
>>290037950Thanks, had some Internet issues and didn't notice it got erased
>>290037955Shakabros, get ready.>>290037988You're welcome.
was the butterfly spectre the strongest one or is Mu a jobber/Aiora too strong?
>>290037933>Wow, you got six, good job!It's funny, because in this scene in the anime they're like "Just six? How did a guy like you let the rest pass?"
>>290038070ENTER
>>290038099Butterfly Specter is strong, but there are stronger Specters than him
>>290038126He was arguably the strongest in his class, or one of the elite Terrestrial Star Specters.
>>290037508>>290037626>No! He's mine!They've done this twice now. This is a huge weak point of the villains. They're too prideful and refuse to work together.
>>290038431>Akuryo TaisanWait, isn't that Shinto?
>>290038521Teshirogi making this into an important artifact rather than just something Shaka used to intimidate the Specters was kinda dumb
>>290038575Agreed.
>>290038595OUR HERO
Gonna take my dinner break
>>290038737NO WAY WHAT THE FUCK AIEE
>>290038481SS operate under epic tale roles. It’s all one vs one
>>2900367757 volumes to go.
>>290037006Their glowing eyes are funny
>>290038481>>290038807In Omega, both heroes and villains did less one on one battles than other series.
>>290037274Another el hermano?! joking
>>290037600This kind of inhumanity is lost in the non-kurumada's specters
>>290037207Hades's army has the most dysgenic looking bastards.
>>290039071I guess when you have to get 108 knights you can't be too picky
>>290038682His voice keeps coming from his eye
>>290037849Worm has surprisingly nice nails
>>290039071I think it was mentioned somewhere that their bodies were warped once they were chosen
Why are characters always doing the splits standing up in this series? No one stands normally.
>>290039277So the poses can look more dynamic
>>290038757Shiryu... Your legs are so long
If Mariya turns out to be Athena, like I think, then half the Pegasus Saints we’ve seen will have been gods
>>290039817Shakabros...
>>290039817Shakabros.......... It's habbiding. ;_;
>>290039790NANI??
>>290037006Kurumada predicted the glowing eyes meme.
I wish some of the characters aside from our heroes had more backstory. I want to know how the spectres got indoctrinated into Hades army.
>>290039744>In truth? >Whelp!What kind of seamonkey translated this?
>>290037748I think I have to start skimming. 3 weeks of jobber squads has me exhausted.
>>290038638What kind of name is cube anyway?
>>290039980HE OPENED HIS EYES!!!
>>290039893Even when dying, their eyes keep glowing
>>290039929Aw shit, the mooks have been lied to! Bamboozled, even. Genuinely feel sorry for these guys.
>>290040024ENTER
>>290039919I had the same thought.
>>290039997Funnily enough, his Surplice was of Dullahan. Dullahan Cube was his full name.>>290040024>>290040052It's on. It has begun. Twin Sala trees are here.
>>290040052"Reincarnation of Buddha" is an oxymoron.
>>290040093From the united kingdom
>>290040093>>290040113>>290040138>>290040151https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRqt9yTMZFE
>>290038737>They were wearing the evil gold cloths under the surpliceWhat how?
>>290040093>>290040113>>290040138>>290040151>>290040182Shaka is fighting like an equal... Against three powerful ex-Gold Saints!!! All at the same time!
>>290037006>the 12 palaces have been protected by Athena's sacred cosmo since the age of mythsRare goddess-like stuff. It bit her in the ass when Sagitta managed to shoot her though.
>>290039929This raises even more questions about the specters and skeletons.>>290040151Camus got stronger with death.
>>290040180I get they have total dogshit to work with but this choreography is still really bad.
>>290040205Well... They just did, kek. Same as adjusting their bodies and hair to those of the fallen Specters.
>>290040247It wasn't that bad. Be it in manga or anime. It was meant to be fast as hell.
>>290040279Biggest asspull of the series
>>290040246My headcanon has always been that Camus deliberately kept his attacks from reaching Absolute Zero when facing Hyoga.
>>290040279Saga is about to piss himself, btw.>>290040293But enough about Ikki getting pulverized only to appear on the new sacred battleground in the middle of an arc, kek.
>>290040205I'm surprised those surplices would just let three ex-golds wear them without rejection.
>>290040282Every single movement is ultra close-up so they have to animate as little motion as possible. And it's still kind of choppy even with that.All I could enjoy was having voices to put with each saint.
>>290039908How's "Tenma: demon Kofuku: pacification" a better layout than "Tenma Kofuku: Demon Pacification". They did this for the other attacks why fumble this?
>>290040282>Be it in manga or anime.These Shaka poses look silly as hell.>>290040113>>290040138
>>290040252>>290040279He is pretty much asking them to defeat himself
>>290039964THE STRONGEST GOLD SAINT.... vs shaka...
>>290039071Rude, he's only slightly worse than the hydra guy.
>>290040318Well yes, this is the biggest con of that particular scene.>>290040310They were revived humans swearing their allegiance to Hades who had revived them. No need for those Surplcies to reject them in any way.
>>290040336>Even if we win here, our souls will be damned forever!You are already damned due to your betrayal, you might as well do it.
>>290040279THE ATHENA EXCLAMATION?!!
>>290040247thats because the director of the hades sanctuary ovas shigeyasu yamauchi, really sucks at making fight choreographys and action sequences in general.
>>290040309>But enough about Ikki getting pulverized only to appear on the new sacred battleground in the middle of an arc, kekIkki already revived before, and Shaka outright mentioned that he was going to do so sooner or later
>>290037183Kinda funny the one Saga killed doesn't have any special mark since he can't exactly disintegrate him as Mu has to know exactly 3 were killed.
>>290037673I don't know if stabbing through a column is all that impressive. Some of the temples are ruined.
>>290040151>>290040182>>290040201>>290040222>>290040252>>290040417I always thought maybe the manga did something different, but how is Shaka vs Saga even a debate when Shaka fighting Saga+2 put them in a situation they could only escape because they were three?
>>290040384That sucks. There's so much potential for an adaptation to pursue in bringing poses and cool backgrounds to the medium.Did SS ever get sakuga?
>>290040341Like I said, it was probably meant to be ultradynamic scene with shit happening really fast, requiring Shaka to do acrobatics to simply avoid those attacks coming from three directions instead of tanking them. I think this scene is okay, but to each their own.>>290040384I'm surprised he didn't actually make this fighting sequence worse than it was in the manga.
>>290040361Only hydra is a furgly among Athena's, some of hades' barely look human.
>>290037617Did he got accused of something or are you just memeing?
>>290040449Unironically Kouga vs. Abzu from Saint Seiya Omega is the most "muh sakuga" moment if we take a fair look at all Saint Seiya anime entries.
>>290040417that'd be good enough to break hyoga's ice block or the sea pillars right?
>>290040480Watch evil dead
>>290040480The tree in Evil Dead, anon
>>290040472Sagabros... Don't look.
>>290040394>a whole page just for the name of a techniqueI can't tell if this is Kurumada being a hack or authors could just use as many pages as they want back in the day.
>>290040539Oldschool manga trends and standards differed from what is popular these days.
>>290040539It is a weekly release, and he was doing it for decades. if wasn't for this, 20 specters would have been killed to kill a single goldie
>>290040384I liked Mu vs the trio off the top of my head, which had a bunch of extra bits added. And Seiya getting pummeled by Giganto.
>>290040541>It's all for Athena's sake...Don't tell me they've been double agents all along
>>290037988Amogus.
>>290038126Kek, based.
>>290040449Does this count?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfIW9sTGthA
>>290040449personally i consider movie 4 and omega to be the ones with an actual good choreography and action sequences in the whole franchise which ironically are the most disliked by the boomer fandom
>>290040205They just know how to layer, simple as that.
>>290040658shit you not this is literally the only fight in the entire OG anime that feels fast and good paced
>>290040541>for the sake of love and justicewhat are they talking about? they are evil!
>>290038496>Wait, isn't that Shinto?Not sure, I think I've seen some buddhist monk using it in a manga/anime.
>>290040658This is actually kinda good. I'm shocked.>>290040492>>290040672Post clips for comparison.
>>290039644Kurumada TRACED Captain Tsubasa!
>>290040772And that's why Buddhism ultimately says:>It don't matter. None of this matters. Just burn the bridge behind you.
>>290040791So did he save hearing for last or are they using their Saint Zoom call?
>>290040742>Post clips for comparison.Here you go: https://youtu.be/JaJ1DRd4S38 and watch from 1:00.
>>290039817He's shaking in his boots!
>>290040801Seiya is actually dreaming in the hospital after losing his legs?
>>290040806 he only did on next dimension
>>290040821They have telepathy so it bypasses lack of hearing or voice, same as Ikki at the end of his fight with Shaka.
>>290040833FUAAARK
>>290039919>fr>no capThere, I fixed it for you.
>>290040828Not that Anon, but thanks. Looks good not gonna lie. French subtitles are bothering me, but I take it you couldn't find a different version
>>290039929>I've been in constant conversation with the gods all my lifeMay I see them?
The heart
>>290040888Rest in pepperoni whoever died in this dramatic clash.
>>290039964What the fuck? He was guessing? I thought he read their minds or intent with some bullshit godlike power.
>>290039744>>290039919I'm ESL, but isn't "whelp" not even an affirmative?
>>290040852>>290040868Shakabros...
>>290040907The OVA did this moment masterfully.
>>290040828Can't say I care for all the fireworks and yapping but the last part when everything goes white is super fluid. Overall, I liked Ikki vs Siegfried better.
>>290040924Isn't it just something like "you mutt!"?
>>290040888Kubo TRACED this
>>290040828Omega, S1 especially, has probably some of the best animation in the franchise. Doesn't help that Toei does so many cheap cash grabs.
>>290040927Weaker than galaxian explosion
>>290037650Lion vs Grizzly bear, who wins?
>>290040052>reincarnation of buddhaI'm still not sure how that works, with buddhas being removed from the cycle of samsara.
>>290040931Ikki vs. Siegfried was definitely sakuga of its own era's standards for a TV series, that's true. I understood that the original question referred to more modern-day sakuga. After all, the Hades OVA is 2000s, not 1980s. That fight from Omega that I linked is something like that. Short yet well-animated moment with very decent fighting choreography.
>>290037673Galaxy level column.
>>290040742>post clips for comparasionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFsgleDlk6Y i know the language but i refuse to make a screenrecord just for this.
>>290040971Kanon, don't you own ANY other clothes?
>>290040205Cosmo bullshit.
>>290040279My expectation is low with that kind of name.
>>290040952Shakabros...>>290040970Yeah, haters gonna hate and shit themselves, but in terms of animation and colors Omega is a really solid anime that aired weekly for more than one or two cours. Hell, its story, aside from weird shit introduced too fast or boring beginning, wasn't that bad. Definitely not bad enough to cry about it as much as nostalgiafags did back in the day.
>>290041022He must, or it would have the trident holes.
>>290041022Lmao they're the three little monkeys now
>>290040753wow india has not changed one bit
>>290041022Death need not be final. btw Shaka, you will cross paths with a boy named Ikki who overcomes death several times...
Koga should've been Seiya and Saori's son
>>290041069>Big Bang-tier attack, muh forbidden technique, so powerfulNot for Shaka!
>>290041075Reverse three monkeys, but yes. I only realized it on a recent rewatch of that scene.
>>290040394KUBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>290041083>Shaka had to an hero himself and take 3 GS with him plus Athena to learn a lesson that Ikki taught him after their first match
>>290040491I don't get it, they are already filthy fucking traitors.
>>290041097Kubo was heavily inspired by Saint Seiya.>>290041114Messed*
>>290041092well its heavily implied that its their adopten son so that counts?
>>290040998I just meant highlights from any time since I'll probably not bother watching any SS anime in full.>>290041017This one is great. I assume it's one of the movies?
>>290041022The blast was so strong they retroactively killed him
>>290041130Sadge.
>>290040552And what have you been doing when some fuckasses are raiding your palace?
>>290040924>>290040945It's not technically wrong but it sounds very stilted. Putting "you" in front of whelp would make it sound more natural.
>>290037986Seiya, Shun and Hyoga are also taking their sweet time apparently.
>>290041092That would've messed up the virgin goddess theme.>>290041135Thanks.
>>290041142yes from movie 4 "the warriors of the final holy war" aka lucifer movie and like i say the only one of the 2D movies that is sakuga
I remember some of the bits of Saga beating up Seiya and Ikki being pretty fluid. Also not really animation, but the main episode of the Ikki vs Shaka fight is really well directed.
>>290041109It is cool that Kurumada diferenciates Saga so much from Shura and Camus
>>290040639That's a daily occurrence now, Shaka.
>>290040977This one actually killed its target though?
>>290041163"Whelp!" can sound more agggressive and old-fashioned.>>290041194Abel movie had nice moments of characters warping and stretching like yoga pants, kek.
>>290041157Kino
>>290041235EXIT
>>290041157This is a beautiful page.
>>290041188Kinda funny Shura's still talking normally instead of using telepathy. Saga has to be like>WHAT
>>290041157Poetic kino.
>>290041188>8th sense.The bronzes barely mastered the 7th
>>290040888Shit, I yelled Kubo's name too early.
>>2900412588th Sense is something that's on even higher level. Keep reading.
>>290036775Entry prohibited for snowflakes.
>>290041271I know originally I wrote "the next power up"
>>290041235Goodbye, Shaka.
If you think all this Mash up of gods and religions on this you should see the final boss of ring ni kakero
>>290041142>>290041208https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idikIEWy1Xofrom 1:35Also I can't find it, but there's one scene where Saga is fighting Seiya in the Pope's room and he punches him down into the ground to make him bounce all the way into the ceiling.
>>290039817S-Shakabros, Mu one-shotted 2 former Golds with one move, how could our guy not face these former Golds?
>>290041360This one is kinda silly with Ikki's face and the 1 frame punches.
>>290037183Detective Mu is on the case.
>>290041453Bro is INCENSED
>>2900414023 > 2
Kinda funny Seiya is sleeping through all of this compared to the anime.
>>290041551>They can't do anything anymore.except go into a coma for 2 chapters and come out with all their senses returned.
>>290041581They are still with half a sense each
>>290040351He is doing exactly that, because he knows how to reach the underworld alive, escaping Hades' control.
>>290040439It isn't. Shaka had them in the palm of his hand the whole time and forced them to go along with his plan.
>>290041619Carrying the helmet feels so goofy at this point.
>>290038757Fujolegs
>>290040925It's okay, anon. It was all according to his keikaku.
>>290036775ha shit ha shitha shit
>>290041157https://youtu.be/IaWOLNpir2s?is=m_R5ix_mDI9khdPI
>>290040977Absolutely not.
Just found out something.Kurumada was born in December 6 meaning that his sign is Ophiuchus account to true sidereal charts >>290041615Yes, I know.
>>290041653I like his headpiece in the anime, he doesn't use it enough.
>>290041615I really need to stop reading spoilers.
>>290041506Someone here had several seizures.
>>290041778Strongest!
>>290041402He did face them and beat them. He basically forced them to do a forbidden combined attack on him, so he could travel to the underworld to fight Hades.
>>290041793It should be illegal to let apes draw.
>>290041130>>290041157>>290041188one of the most great moments in the series, SS has worse fights compared to DB f.e., but i really live for moments like these.
>>290041816>we can just keep firing off Big Bang level attacksAthena, you made some weird choices but banning this one wasn't one of them
Kind of funny how Aldebaran could have been removed and nothing would change.Contrary of Shaka, whose death has all bells and whistles.
>>290041872Uh, Saga, aren't you forgetting it's not 3 vs 1 anymore?
>>290041805Second strongest.
>>290041872>can keep spamming it with no costToo OP plz nerf.
>>290041908T. Aiolia or Miro
>>290041919Good ol MAD, the best deterrent
>>290041919Aioria should be in the middle.
>>290041919Frankly Aioria should have been in the center even if Mu's basically the MC of this arc. The hands in that position are like fangs.
>>290041919LOL this is great
>>290041940>We'll kill all of you>We die in four hours anyway, bet>...Shit.Mu is not a smart Knight.
Done for todayCome back tomorrow to see what happens when two Big Bangs clash
>>290041962poor shiryu
>>290041816>>290041919they look like charlie's angels
>>290041962Shiryu: "I'm also here!"
What the fuck is Seiya doing right now?
>>290041940Bitch pretty sure the Big Bang would destroy all of fucking Earth. Take down Hades' castle too while at it.>>290041962>Shiryu can only say WAAAAH!!kek
>>290042006It's not that big of a bang.
>>290041951He barely fought, Mu is the mc of the arc
>>290040620>didn't even try to expose the fake Pope even though he knew that was not his master>didn't even attempt to stop a bunch of Silvers from murdering some 13-15 years old kids>threatened to kill Aioli when he tried to go help Seiya&co against Poseidon>'Noooooooooo! Aiolia, you must not help Shaka, trust me he wants to die, let him die'Shut the fuck up Mu, why are you like this?
>>290041986well I doubt that they're going to disintegrate almost every relevant character so I'm guessing the bangs cancel each other outI'm also gonna guess shaka sacrificed himself as a cheeky shortcut to the underworld
>>290042117>>didn't even attempt to stop a bunch of Silvers from murdering some 13-15 years old kidsTell this to the black saints
seeing that clip of omega got me thinking.has your opinion of it changed after more than a decade? personally i still don't like it much but it's a 6/10 anime not the worst of the worst i do still hate some things like mars, haruto, the omega cosmos, paradox and her sister that comes out of nowhere. yuna is a cute, paradox too even if she is crazy and a shotacon
>>290041919Go to the side Mu, you fucker.
>>290041986Thanks.
>>290041986parkinson
>>290041986It looks like a better hydra cloth, and has connections similar to those of the cyclops
>>290039946Kurumada honestly sucks at twists and secrets
>>290040024This was such a cool stage in the ps2 game.
>>290042288He was writing weekly, and there are a few retcons
>>290037673Grizzly level column
>>290041919>Saga, Shura, and Camus: Oh no, how could we possibly use leforbidden move>Mu, Aioria, and Milo: Bitch, you killed Shaka. We're going to Big Bang your asses!
>>290040151Oh hey, it's THE panel.
>>290040171I don't get it.
>>290041737There are no quality controls at this publishing house.
>>290042156I have always been in the minority that mostly liked Omega. It's different, but that's not bad. It's not the best thing ever, but it's okay. Personally, I think the franchise needed that sort of refresh. We're way too deep in Gold wank.
>>290040279...then why would you tell them that?
>>290042382https://youtu.be/c96LJv65yvk?is=FR4ZqBEY7TWHMOqh
>>290040394Kubo traced this.
>>290042431It's almost like he wants them to use it. Nudge. Wink.
>>290040597Why does Mu ALWAYS cockblock Aioria of doing something?
>>290037673>AIEE COLUMN-SAMA
>>290041603Morishita sweated blood because of this.
>>290040888Holy fucking KUBOOOOOOOOO
>>290038967SS is famous for the pretty boys so I guess the spin-off authors are ordered to draw as many bishies as possible. Teshirogi mentioned her editor told her to draw the LC gold saints as clones of the originals and Kuori mentioned in an interview in Paris that her editor insisted that she should focus on Milo and the gold saints over the saintias. Kurumada is pretty much his own boss now so he can do whatever he wants
>>290041092Or Shaina's
>>290041157This is a pretty cool page.
>>290041235F, Buddha boy.
>>290042532goldsaints are tracionando pls understand
>>290041092Toei has a stupid policy of not allowing their heroes to be fathers.
>>290041986Thanks OP!
>>290040888>What is this Kuromada?>Is the Sala trees>But there is nothing here!>The exclamation of Athena blew it away
>>290041386WTF, it's a draw.
>>290042749Understand, but even in wsj, you can notice the difference, even Radamanthys' surplice is completely monstrous. Garuda's totem form is unnerving
>>290043021They're warriors from the underworld so it's logical they have a horror theme. Kurumada seems to like horror in general.
I'm enjoying this arc. I feel like the battles are more elaborated, the art is more clear and I like the gold as the protagonists more. My only complain is how the powergap between knights are absurd. I wish Kuromada went for more individual battles batween the knights like Milo vs Camus, Leo vs Shura. Instead of Aldebaran losing offscreen they could have made him an and Mu vs Afrodite and Deathmask.
>>290039672This episode was always one of my favorites in the Hades OVAs.
>>290038521Still not getting why it ties specters to 108 Liangshan heroes.
>>290041402Shaka could probably take out Shura and Camus but definitely not Saga.
>>290040916Nothing more effective than just asking them directly.
>>290041584gay ass fuck
>>290043359It gives them a theme, an army of unleashed demons tied to stars.And Kurumada can build them around the stars.For example.>The Terrestrial Charmed Star>The Charmed star is originally derivered of the character Du Qian, from the Water Margin story. The Terrestrial Charm Star's kanji when pronounced in Japanese intentionally resembles the Japanese pronunciation of the wordButterfly
>>290040279The Athena question mark?
>>290042006No no no you don't get it. Kurumada said all the power is in a single point so it totally counts. Never mind the nuke sized mushroom cloud and razed garden.
>>290041402Come on, it was Deathmask and Aphrodite, not Saga
>>290043359Because 108 is the number of causes of suffering and sins, it links to the infernal punishments and the sins committed to get there>But why Water Margin Aesthetics for a new group of warriors that match the number 108
>>290040883
>>290042117>>didn't even try to expose the fake Pope even though he knew that was not his masterHe didn't know what was the deal actually but suspected something sketchy. Mu knew of Saga but not that he was the one behind everything, Dohko was the one who always suspected Saga.
>>290036822she cannot read
>>290040171Fool
>>290040821The only one who was left with hearing was Camus iirc
>>290042988kek
>>290043659Yeah but that was after Shaka was in the middle of his Fifth Sense attack before getting nuked. The font also changed to indicate when Shura was speaking normally and the other 2 with telepathy.
>>290041069Shaka tanked that
>>290041082It probably got worse
>>290041050Wait, speech isn't a sense
>>290042749>as many bishiesConsidering that, it's surprising she got away with Violate, who is a big, scarred muscled woman.
>>290043839They always associate "taste" with speech.
>>290041758kek
>>290037477LEWD
>>290040222here we go
>>290041157total kino
>>290041919TWO BIG BANGS
>>290041986thanks op
Reminder that Shaka's Buddhist philosophy of life and death doesn't work in this universe.Death isn't the end, it's just the beginning of your endless suffering on Tartarus.There's no balance of joy and sorrow, no eternal sleep, it's indeed pure agony forever.
>>290044478spoiler?
>>290040639CGI Buddha jumpscare
>>290044514Is it?I thought it was the logical conclusion of Greek mythology settings.
>>290044478Its kinda bizarre how ancient people believed that every soul good or bad would just go the same darkness to suffer forever until they came up with heaven. I mean, wouldnt you try to live the most you can if you believe that Hades awaits you? But instead they threw themselvss in endless wars.
>>290044541I have no idea. Sometimes people forget to. Sometimes non-spoiler statements get spoilered. I can't keep up.
>>290037207"Worm" Raimi, you say?
>>290041816
>>290041851Even a monkey can draw manga.
>>290037006and I guess by that same logic one can't expand their cosmo fully between palaces so they have to run at normal human speed
>>290044549Isn't it more that they aimlessly roam around? Pretty weird. But if you're a chad like Odysseus you go to a special paradise. So that checks with the wars.>>290044478Buddha thought you reincarnate forever but even if you didn't, the philosophy would still make sense (says the guy). So I dunno what this says about the theological metaphysics.
>>290041816Toriyama also copied this.
>>290044683>special paradiseYeah but even Achilles who went to Elysian Fields said it was still better being alive. But then this was homer inventing stuff
>>290042156Omega1 second half is goodOmega2 erased its own ideas to be an imitation of the old seriesOmega was meant to be the new male-oriented precure and his failure killed the franchise imho
>>290044729>But then this was homer inventing stuffAnon, for all we know, Homer may as well be the one who created the Elysian Fields.Elysian Fields isn't a concept that always existed in the Greek mythology, Homer's Odyssey is arguably the earliest piece of literature to mention it.
>>290038661Dullahan CubeGorgon OxElf Miles
Its funny how the main characters barely appear on this part of the arc while the anime showed them every single episode
>>290038521>11 beads darkenes>11 dead spectres: Cube, Mills, Ox, Papillon, Niobe + Worm + 5 noname killed by IoriaA gotcha to TLC which has one permanently sealed Spectre
>>290040205It's cosmo, we don't have to explain shit!
>>290040672Omega looking like Precure in exchange for sakuga probably didn't help.
>>290041360Fucking love that beatdown
>>290041050If they can communicate telepathically, doesn't that make speech and hearing pretty useless?
>>290041551>Do you really want to kick them while they're down?1. They're traitors.2. They're already dead.3. Saints have gotten their senses back before.Yes, I want to kick them while they're down.
>>290041919The fact that the good guys are so much more willing to use the forbidden move than the bad guys cracks me up.
>>290043364Yeah, in the santuary they they needed the combined Cosmo of Jabu, Ban and Itchi KO saga.
>>290041487I love this moment, Aiolos is being forced to stay put since the series started, you can she the frustration building up
>>290043364But he did take out Saga with the others. He just let them go because he wanted to lose.
>>290041962shiryu just not knowing what to do
>>290042156I thought Omega was good. The biggest issues were slow starts in both seasons and the new cast getting sidelined for a bit by the OGs in season 2.
>>290042006Shiryu came to fight Specters, not get caught in a pseudo Big Bang.>>290042004Good question, he was at Sanctuary. Shun and Hyoga are on their way there.
Koga x Yuna is cute
Are there platinum knights?
>>290048838Eh, it's a mixed bag for me. At the beginning, the pokemon element system and the high-school setting are misguided choices, which are then discarded to simply retread the sanctuary arc, all the way up to the twelve temples. Another bad choice imho. But when they "fail" the twelve temple run, that batch of episodes up to the end of season one are fantastic.Season 2 onwards you can tell they got a much tighter budget and the animation resents it. The cloths are less plasticky but now they've got those fucking gems all over. It's probably the best spinoff by far, but it doesn't even slightly reach the og.
>>290049586>It's probably the best spinoff by farTLCfags will kill youPersonally, I've been liking Saint Mariya
>>290049483No, but there are 4 unknown cloths
>>290049754TLCsissies seethe over anything that's not TLC, no matter its quality or relevance. Those schizos even started shitting on Saintia Sho's author to the point that even Teshirogi had to speak and try to calm them down. Reason? Saintia Sho existed. That was enough for schizos to lose their minds.>bbbut it was only one Italian retardAt first yeah.>>290049586The second half of Omega is kino. It's worth to go through wacky and boring beginning and rereading of Sanctuary Arc (which wasn't bad, but some people can dislike it for being an obvious node to the original story).
>>290044624Good Surplice color. Based MythCloth.
>>290042988The most Brasilian post ever made in this site
>>290044748>killed the franchiseNot really. It aired in a good spot and managed to be completed. Its anime was more successful than canceled TLC or half-assed Saintia Sho.>Omega 1 second half is good>Omega 2 is an imitation of old seriesWhat. Second half of Omega 1 is Sanctuary arc 2.0. While Omega 2 has ideas from or references to the OG story, it's less of a imitation than Omrga 1's first half.
>>290043340Yes, this part of the story is one of the best, if not the best, part of the whole manga.>>290041986Thank you so much for another day of storytime.Surprisingly, Shaka vs. Saga powerscalers were timid today. Maybe they're waiting for this part of Hades arc to end, kek.
>>290041986Thanks for today.
>>290050399The Pallas arc was a neat idea. To have a whole city full of saints and enemies fighting in it. The episode with the steel saint grunts trying to stay alive is great as a plot.I did find it hilarious that they ran into a "left hand doesn't know what the right is doing" situation when Kiki (Now the gold saint of Aries) fights a dude and when the other guy if attacking him, the background characters are shocked and fearing for his life, but when you see him on screen he's just standing there eyes closed, tanking the blows like it's nothing.That had to be a miscommunication. The zeal not to show the gold saints ever struggle or lose has gone too far.
>>290050299I wonder what TLCfags think about Dark Wing
>>290049754I like Saint Mariya, just wish more of it was translated in English. The most recent English translation involved the characters trying to recruit a new Swan saint.>>290050806I like it.It suffers from the same issue as Saint Mariya, lack of English translation.Last I read, the Scorpio Saint was trying to free a guy at the school from possession.Scorpio Saint is fun.
>>290041986Thank you for posting!
>>290043879A bone to the non-existent male audience
>>290050351El Chavo and Saint Seiya have one thing in common since both are more liked by people outside their's country of origin.
>>290044595Took me a while to notice.
Sequel when?
>>290040927Seiya already made a big bang against Aldebaran. Going by the logic of his comet fist, this is at least 190 times stronger or more.
>>290042156I don't recall too much of it, but that Dark Cosmo thing or whatever it was seemed pretty fanfic-ish to me.
>>290054027Bro, it made 7 mil. So dead Hades couldn't bring it back. Mackenyu ended up as Zoro, so at least that ended well.
>>290054182I meant 100
>>290041235>Shaka gets the kinoest of kinos for a death, entire chapter dedicated to it>Aldebaran gets offscreened by some background shitter
>>290054027>Insistence on the localization that no one likes>Armours cover up the faces, missing the appeal of the saints cloths>No other bronzes, only Seiya and IkkiWhy? They had to have known it wasn't a good idea right?
>>290054027Funny thing is, I do think there could be a well-made live-action adaptation, but not with the story of the manga. Just do what the French did with Cat's Eye; change the character names, move the setting to Europe. Change or ditch anything that doesn't work.>but it won't be faithful!If it's good, people won't care about fidelity.
>>290054464To be fair, that guy would've killed any gold saint he faced first barring maybe Shaka. The scent fucking you up and getting on your skin is something not even Saga has a defense for.
>>290040113>>290040138Holy shit, is that actually fight choreography?!
>>290044952Saga, Camus and Shura were lucky for having Kamen Rider like specters around
>>290054273>Dark CosmoBasically Mars took a chunk of cosmo from another god and gave it to his followers. Three groups of enemies: martians knights, traitor saint knights, and two Abyss God priests, everyone working under Mars
>Aries gets a volume of Mu being the outright protagonist, finally showcasing his skills >Virgo gets a volume of Shaka holding the fort against 3 ex-Saints and getting the most beautiful death in the series so far>>>>>>>Taurus>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Cancer
>>290054273it is, the whole elemental typing was and is dropped fast for a reason
>>290041235rip second strongest gold ;_;7
>>290056391Elemental cosmo was unnecessary since Saints and others used a variety of elemental attacks without being tied to their Cosmo having a specific element. I did like certain techniques being stronger or weaker than each other due to elemental weaknesses, though.
>>290056417Odysseus is sealed until ND so he's the strongest actually.
what was the point again for every single gold saint to try and "stop" the zombdi gold saint from reaching athena?
>>290056829They just want to fight that badly after being sitting ducks for all of Poseidon.
>>290056829Because they thought they wanted to kill her? I don't understand the question.
>>290057053Imu and shaka knew
>>290050559Unfortunately, we're never getting rid of gold wank. Even Dark Wing is half gold wank.
>>290054027>That feeling when you realize the real and only reason TOEI greenlighted this, the CGI show, the chi movie, Should of. good and Santia Sho is to keep the license forever away from others like with Sailor moon
>>290055945Kurumada definitely has his favorites
>>290058185if you talking about legend of sanctuary, that movie was in production since 2011 so i dont know if it counts as toei being greedy as usual
