Saint Seiya - Athena's Saints of the 88 Constellations

• Seiya (Saint of Pegasus)

Birthdate: December 1st, 1972

Seiya is the main character of the series. In most ways, he's a typical shōnen hero, in the sense that he perseveres to the point of risking his life for what he believes in, and is not generally too complex in personality. Although not stunningly bright, Seiya uses and devises many fighting strategies in battle, cleverly adapting his style to the circumstances. He had an older sister, Seika, who was separated from him by the Kido foundation, and desperately wants to see her again. He trained in the Sanctuary in Greece, under the tutelage of Marin (Silver Saint of Eagle). When he loses his armor in battle against a more powerful adversary, Seiya is often saved by the gold armour of Sagittarius, sent by the spirit Aiolos. Seiya's technique "Ryu Sei Ken" travels beyond the speed of sound. Therefore if his opponents are near his proximity, Seiya will be able to unleash hundreds of rounds of energy balls per second toward his targets. Initially, these energy balls possessed speed somewhat faster than Mach 1; but as Seiya grew in experience and skill, his attack's speed eventually approached light speed. Seiya's relationship with Athena was very strained in the beginning; but towards Hades Chapter, an amicable relationship blossomed. Due to the commander-subordinate association, Athena and Seiya never ventured into a romantic relationship. Nevertheless, Seiya has a strong devotion towards Athena. In return, Athena has always been strongly empathic towards Seiya.

• Shun (Saint of Andromeda)

Often confused for a woman by newcomers to the series, Shun is a rather odd choice for a warrior. He is a pacifist, and as a child was very delicate and hated violence. When the time came to draw names randomly, choosing the orphans who would be sent for the training to be saints, Shun was chosen to train in the Death Queen island. Worried that his brother wouldn't survive, Ikki took his place. Shun was then sent to Andromeda Island in the Pacific Ocean, and trained under Daidalos (Silver Saint of Cepheus). In battle he uses two chains: one for defense and one for attack. The defense chain, called "circle chain", has its tip shaped like a ring. It has the ability of circling around Shun, protecting him like a steel wall. The attack chain, called, "triangle chain", is responsible for the offensive capabilities of the armor. It is able to find and attack the enemy no matter how far away they may be. Shun also possesses a great power he seldom uses; it is called "Nebula Storm", following the shape of Andromeda's nebula. In order for his cosmos to be able to use this power, he must remove his armor, exposing him. This attack is generally believed to be one of the most powerful, as its intensity can be increased indefinitely.

• Shiryū (Saint of Draco / Dragon)

It could be said that Shiryū is the most contemplative and least impulsive of the young Bronze Saints. One who prefers to think rather than rush to face the enemy, Shiryū is nonetheless a very powerful Saint. He has extremely destructive powers tamed only by his chivalrous and controlled nature. When fully unleashed, usually when his friends or mission are jeopardized by his enemy, or when an injustice has angered him, the raw fury of Shiryū's attacks is potent enough to kill him along with his enemy. He trained in the Rozan Peaks, China, under Dohko, the Ancient Master and Gold Saint of Libra. He also has an unclear relationship with Shunrei, an orphan that Dohko took in and who lives with him.

Shiryū's cloth (armor) includes the Dragon Shield, which is said to be indestructible. It's indestructibility is proven false multiple times, being cut or pierced through by powerful opponents. The Shield, however, offers Shiryū great protection from physical assaults and even some non-physical ones.

• Hyōga (Saint of Cygnus / Swan)

Unlike the other Bronze Saints, Hyōga is not a true orphan as he knew his mother and lived with her (although it is implied that Ikki and Shun knew their parents). He is very strongly attached to his mother, Natasha, who died when the ship that they were in sank near Siberia. Fortunately, he was sent to train in Siberia under Camus, Gold Saint of Aquarius (the anime has his teacher as the Crystal Saint). He initially trained in order to recover his mother's body, but after a very important incident he dedicated himself fully to becoming the Cygnus Saint.

• Ikki (Saint of Phoenix**)

A renegade, Ikki is by nature a lone wolf; he is cocky, prone to violence, unpredictable and explosively powerful. Scarred by his training in Death Queen Island under Guilty (a former Saint of an unknown constellation who was driven to madness), a place and regimen aptly described as "Hell on Earth", he initially returned to Japan to take revenge on the Kido foundation for sending him there, and on his brother whose place he had voluntarily took. Recruiting the help of the Black Saints, he stole parts of the Gold Cloth of Sagittarius but was eventually foiled. With time he joins the other Saints in their struggle against the Sanctuary and in their subsequent fights, but he generally goes his own way until he feels it is time to act. He is almost certainly the strongest Bronze Saint: not only his armor does has the ability to regenerate- like the Phoenix rising from the ashes- but this is also true for himself. In other words, every time he is killed, he will come back to life even stronger and more powerful than before. Because of this unique ability, it is arguable that he is in fact one of strongest Saints of all, Bronze, Silver or Gold.

• Daichi (Land Armor) - Capable of generating earthquakes
• Ushio (Aquatic Armor) - Specializing in sound waves

The Steel Saints' armors were created by Dr. Mamori (supported on the beginning by Mitsumasa Kido). Unlike the other saints, the Steel Saints' powers come from their robotic armors and not from the cosmos. They only appear on the Silver Saint Arc, and before the Bronze saints travel to the Sanctuary in Greece.

• Shion (Former Saint of Aries and Pope of Sanctuary, master to Mu)

He was one of the two survivors of the last Holy War against Hades. Little is known about the time where he ruled as the Pope of the Sanctuary, but he was killed by Saga of Gemini who then replaced him. Shion, however, came back to life as a specter of Hades. He uses more powerful versions of Mu's attacks.

• Mu (Saint of Aries)

Mu is very soft spoken, and possesses a scholarly-like personality; his demeanour is very tranquil and logical, almost as if he is a professor of the sanctuary. Mandarin-speaking Saint Seiya fans usually call him 'Mu xiansheng', or 'Mister Mu'. Mu; is an artisan in the sanctuary who is the only person possessing the ability to repair Saints' armors. Mu has telekinetic abilities and he can teleport from one location to another. Mu has a special facial feature which he shares with his master Shion: they both have two round dots between their eyebrows. Mu's apprentice Kiki also has identical facial feature. The origin of Mu was suspected to be the lost continent of Mu. During Saga's terror reign over the sanctuary and Athena's exile, Mu resided in the mountain range of Jamir near Tibet. His attacks are similar to Shion's.

• Aldebaran (Saint of Taurus)

Aldebaran is the only Gold Saint taller than 200 centimeters. Although his sheer physical size may intimidate most of his opponents, he is considered to be kind and straight forward. During the confrontation between the Bronze Saints and the sanctuary, he saw the enthusiasm in Seiya, and their potentials, and allowed them to pass through his temple. His friendship with Mū seems to be very close. In the anime, he was defeated by a God warrior. On the manga, he was defeated by Sorrento of Sirene. In the Hades saga he was killed by the spectre Deep Niobe although Mu said that he is the physically strongest saint out of all 88 saints.

• Named after Aldebaran, the brightest star in the constellation Taurus.

• Saga (Saint of Gemini)

Saga has the ability to warp space with a technique is called "Another Dimension" and also have illusion techniques. Saga was affected by schizophrenic illness. The dark personality's ethical values and moralities are twisted beyond repair. Thus Saga was the culprit who caused chaos in the Sanctuary Chapter. He is also the most grievous victim of his own evil deeds. There are two theories of his evil side: One is the god Ares himself that possessed the truthful Saga, and the other is the Chaos spirit (which existed since the Big-Bang) and became a human being by possessing Saga and becoming the illegal Pope in the Sanctuary. But in the Anime, it was revealed that Kanon was the one who lead Saga to the evil side. He is the most powerful gold saint and has the strongest cosmo.

However, despite his feigned attack towards Athena in the Hades Chapter, the positive side of Saga was always loyal to his beloved goddess. Saga can hit the nervous system of his enemy, paralyzing the body of his opponent and finally gaining control over the enemy's mind. As the result of Saga's attack, his victim cannot regained his/her mental control unless he/she kills someone. This devastating technique is known as the "Demon Emperor Fist". His most devastating attack is the "Galaxian Explosion" which has the power of an exploding galaxy or many planets.

• Kanon (Saga's twin brother, who trained along with him and became by luck the marina called "Sea Dragon" who first appeared in the Poseidon saga. Later on, he becomes the new Saint of Gemini, during the Hades chapter, replacing his brother.)

Kanon is as powerful as his older brother Saga. Kanon was the one who caused Saga to turn into the 'dark side'; therefore until the beginning of Hades Chapter, the surviving saints were very hostile towards Kanon. Eventually Kanon abandoned his evil ways and pledged his allegiance to Athena. In the Hades Chapter, Kanon suited up in the Gemini armor and fought successfully against multiple Spectres. He uses similar attacks to those of Saga, but his version of Another Dimension is called "Golden Triangle" (used only as a marina) and his attack of "Demon Emperor Fist" seems to be more powerful, using only a finger when battling the specters Lune and Radamanthys.

• Death Mask (Saint of Cancer- his real name is Angelo)

Death Mask's belief in absolute power transformed him into a villain of the sanctuary. This gold saint is completely evil and sadistic, as he feels extreme pleasure in killing and torturing his victims through eternal suffering even after their deaths. He was killed by Shiryu in the Sanctuary Chapter. Alongside with Pisces Aphrodite, he was resurrected by Hades in spectral form in order to take Athena's head to Hades, but they were both neutralized by Aries Mu and was sent back to Hell definitely by Radamanthys. In the manga Hades Chapter, Death Mask sacrificed himself, along with other 11 Gold Saints, in front of Wall of Sigh to allow Bronze Saints gain passage to Elysium. From certain perspective, Death Mask redeemed himself from the sins he committed.

• Aiolia (Saint of Leo)

Aiolia's technique "Lightning Plasma" generates multiple small powerful plasma energy which travel at the speed of light. If enemies are within 3 meters of his presence, the technique allows Aiolia to fire 100 million rounds per second of plasma bolts at his opponents. Other techniques are "Lightning Bolt" (an energy electricity sphere) and "Lightning Fang" (Seen only in the Episode G Manga). Aiolia is head-strong and usually allows his emotions to get the best of him, an opposite to the colder and reflexive attitude of Aries Mu. Besides Marin, Seiya considered Aiolia to be his mentor, close friend and a surrogate older brother. Therefore both of their combat techniques are similar.

• Named after the mythical island Aiolia or Aeolia, residence of Aiolos, the god of winds.

• Shaka (Saint of Virgo)

One of the most powerful Gold Saints, Shaka is thought to be the reincarnation of Siddhartha, or the Buddha, and is known as 'the man closest to deity'. This is certainly reflected in his volatile temperament and often totalistic reasoning. In order to hold back his extremely powerful cosmos, Shaka's eyes are normally shut. However, if calamity befalls should Shaka opens his eyes -- the precursor to his ultimate attack, 'Tenbu Horin,' which not only traps and defangs Shaka's victims, but also wipes out their five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. Essentially reduces Shaka's victims to living corpses. His skill and power is demonstrated in the Hades Chapter, where he single handedly repelled three powerful fallen Gold Saints (namely Saga, Camus and Shura). Shaka is also the first saint to master the eighth sense, which allows one to move freely within Hades' realm even after death.

• Dohko (Saint of Libra**, master of Shiryu)

Dohko is Chinese in origin. His gold cloth resembles the armor of an ancient Chinese scale, and his helmet ressembles a tiger. The cloth also carries six pairs of weapons. They are tonfars, nunchakus, spears, swords, triple rods and shields, totaling in all twelve. Dohko's pupil Shiryu; calls him 'Roshi'. 'Roshi' in Mandarin means 'teacher'. Dohko in his dormant form resembles a tiny old man (similar to Yoda of Star Wars) who has purple skin and beard. Dohko can transform into a young 20 year-old version of himself with the average height and weight of a man in his prime because of 'Misopethamenos'. It is a gift from Athena which allows his heart to beat at the rate of 100,000 times per year. A normal human heart beats at 100,000 times per day. Therefore, this technique allows Dohko to age at an extremely slow rate compare to other human beings. Similar to Mu; Dohko took refuge in the Rozan Five Ancient Peaks in China. The purpose was to watch over the mountain peak where Athena imprisoned the spirits of Hades' 108 Spectres. His attack unleashes the power of 100 dragons ("Rozan Hyaku Ryu Ha"). He is arguably the most experienced, wisest and best fighter of the saints. He tells the bronze saint about the Araya Conscience and the Eight Sense.

• Milo (Saint of Scorpio)

Milo's character is similar to that of Aiolia, except that he is more cold-minded. Milo's attacks are not very powerful, but extremely painful to his opponents. Similar to a scorpion sting, Milo usually takes his time to torture his enemies. There are a total of 15 Scarlet Needles, which represents the stars of the constellation Scorpio. Before the final needle to the heart, the Antares, Milo will give the opponent an opportunity to surrender.

• Aiolos (Aioros) (Saint of Sagittarius and Aiolia's elder brother; deceased before the beginning of the series)

Aiolos died very young. His courage to stand up to the entire sanctuary and escape with the infant Athena proved his bravery. Aiolos was selected by Shion as the next Pope of the sanctuary; However, due to Saga's coup d'etat, Aiolos was branded a traitor and eventually hunted down and killed by Capricornus Shura but manage to give Athena to Mitsumasa Kido to escape to Japan. As a spirit, he helps the Bronze Saints, especially Seiya, in defeating their enemies and sometimes lending Seiya his Sagittarius armor as well. Aiolos's technique 'Atomic Thunder Bolt' has similar form as Aiolia's 'Lightning Bolt' (a thunder sphere). The other famous attack, used by Seiya in the series is the "Golden Arrow", the justice arrow with which he attacks the opponent to make a final strike.

• Named after the Greek god Aiolos or Aeolus, Keeper of the Winds.

• Shura (Saint of Capricornus)

Shura considered himself to be the saint most loyal to Athena. For this, when Aiolos basically abducted Athena as a baby (to save her from her own assassination), Shura was among those sent to hunt down and kill Aiolos. The irony in this is that had he succeeded at bringing Athena back to Sanctuary, she would have been killed. Shiryū makes him realize that. His most powerful attack is "Excalibur", which is a fist with the sharpness of a sword. In Greek Mythology, his loyalty to Athena caused Athena to grant him this power.

• Camus (Saint of Aquarius, master of Hyoga)

Camus's famous technique "Aurora Execution" can freeze anything to near absolute zero (0 kelvin). He is Cygnus Hyoga's teacher. He taught young Hyoga techniques such as "Diamond Dust", "Aurora Thunder Attack" and "Ice circle". He can also create a 'Freezing Coffin' which is unbreakable even if all 12 Gold Saints were to unite their power. Camus is French in origin.

• Named after the French-Algerian writer Albert Camus

• Aphrodite (Saint of Pisces)

Considered to be the most beautiful saint. Attacks with roses ("Royal Demon Rose (red)", "Piranha Rose (black)", "Bloody Rose (white)"). Just like Death Mask, he knew the true identity of the pope (Saga) but still chose to follow him. He is as evil and cruel as Death Mask, and also attacked the Andromeda Island along with Scorpio Milo and killed Shun's master, Cepheu Daidalos. Knowing about these facts, the normally docile Andromeda Shun enraged, and ended up killing him. Later he and Cancer Death Mask were spectrally revived by Hades to have Athena's head taken to Hades, but they were once again stopped by Aries Mu and sent back to Hell by Radamanthys.

This gold saint is named after Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love.

Saint Seiya - Notes

• Supposedly, the Saints represent the 88 constellations, yet according to the official number of saints given (12 Gold Saints, 24 Silver Saints and 48 Bronze Saints), there are still four unaccounted Saints. These could be considered to be Eris' warriors from the first Saint Seiya movie, as they also represent constellations. However, four Silver Saints and over thirty Bronze Saints never make an appearance.

• It has been said that the other four knights or armorers are the ones used to create or repair every other armor, these unknown armors are: "Altar", "Cup", "Sculpture". The last name is missing by this time.
