Would you become an eunuch for this lovely 13 year old goddess?
SAINT SEIYA
Reminder that the bronze saints are more flexible with the rules than the rest of the Sanctuary. Kurumada is a leftist after all free love
If nobody told me that the literal Athena was somehow 13, I would have sworn she was very much an adult
Neither of the characters look 13, specially Ikki, he looks 30+
I don't know why he made them so young, it isn't believable that a gold saint is only 18
I also hate the fact saint seiya is practically non existant outside latin america, only spics seem to like this. In japan saint seiya stuff was rare af
>non existant outside latin america
And France, and Spain, Thailand, China, etc. Saint Seiya is big in way too many countries except for burgerland.
Toys sell well in nipland too, though. That keeps the interest afloat despite the anime being older than most anons.
Netflix Seiya is shit for plenty of reasons but it did give us proper loli Saori
Considering LoS Saori found out about her real identity at her 16 birthday, it seems the new canon is that the saints are around age 16 to 18. Toei never wanted them to be that young anyway, it could give them problems with moral guardians
Wait how is Saori only 13?
How would her grandfather have managed to father all 100 of those Orphans and raised them to become her protectors in that time?
lol shit is worse than chinese animu
Seaiys never even gets Athena. He will be cucked forever.
Seiya is 13 and has spent an entire year in coma after the Hades arc. Give him some time. Reminder that Omega isn't canon
>13 year old
>those jugs
its kinda hilarious how they pissed off fans in both sexes by changing Shun to female; male fans identified hard with Shun while female fans wanted to hardcore fuck him, femShun is just generic moeshit
forgot image
This is some ps1 era models right here.
>How would her grandfather have managed to father all 100 of those Orphans
Mitsumasa is a millionaire, takes on a few trips around the globe, in months at most, to diddle all women.
>and raised them to become her protectors in that time?
He didn't raise a single one of them, he pumped and dumped, when the kids were around 6 years old or so, it was planned for them all to go to the Mitsumasa state and be prepared to be sent for their Saint training.
Which emporvished country are you from? 13 year old girls can look quite mature, if they have the right genetics.
>I also hate the fact saint seiya is practically non existant outside latin america
The idea is great, but it's poorly written as fuck and Kurumada just repeats the same plot over and over again. The real question here is why do spics love it so much?
>Considering LoS Saori found out about her real identity at her 16 birthday, it seems the new canon is that the saints are around age 16 to 18.
Toei doesn't dictate Saint Seiya's canon, Kurumada still maintains the Saints young as shit in Next Dimension.
>I also hate the fact saint seiya is practically non existant outside latin america, only spics seem to like this
Except not really, Euros are pretty big on it, France and Italy for one, to the point the PS2 games were first localized for those countries, and spanish language wasn't even an option back then; only in the last decade video games and merch have gotten officially released in Mexico and Brazil. Also it is big in China, that's where all bootleg figures comes from after all, the first mobile MMOs were first released there before the rest of the world.
Like father, like son
>Bronze saints are stronger than gold saints
nice writing
What is creating miracles?
But Ikki and Shun were a few years apart in age
Unless Ikki wasn't one of his
I would guess it's because it aired at 5:30~6:00 PM, as in, right after school. At least it was the case in monkeyland.
>Neither of the characters look 13, specially Ikki, he looks 30+
You can tell they're kids because every single one of the Golds is bigger than them.
But they weren't, none of them won a straight fight
athena always had big jugs
OG Athena still the best desu
>Gold saints are athenas elite guards
>Lose to new bronze saints anyway
GOOD WRITING
nah, she dont have boobs and purple hair
ikki did
shun did
It was pretty well liked in Canada in the early 2000s. Which is how I ended up with some of the English dvds
Sasha a best.
Ikki transported himself and Shaka to another dimension. Which Shaka could have escaped by himself leaving Ikki stranded, but he was nice enough to ask Mu to bring them both back. That's clearly not a win.
And Shun got a double knockout with Aphrodite, same as everyone else's fights.
She's easily the worst one though. Sasha is the best in the cuteness department while still having bigger tits and milk truck mommy is the same design as OG but improved in pretty much every way.
>*saves golden saints ass once again*
Then people came with the idea of giving him the Lion Armor.
Just why? It would be a fucking downgrade from the Phoenix's armor.
What's the best standalone piece of media for Saint Seiya that I can complete in a decent amount of time?
The Hades OAVs, I think? The Sanctuary part is pretty stand alone.
shiryu won all his battles too
why the fuck did they drop the helmets? they were cool af
fucking basedmangakas
Only 2 years old apart, Mitsumasa came and went, twice.
Saint Seiya is one the earliest cases of a shounen manga series getting really popular with women, they wanted to see that fluffy hair at all times.
Sanctuary and Hades are a must.
Phoenix can ressurect, but still is a bronze cloth, it breaks easily, the time it takes for it rebuilt itself depends on how much cosmo Ikki has, a fight might not wait untill Ikki ressurects for it to finish, in some aspects a Gold Cloth is the better choice.
Saint Seiya G Assassin made an interesting proposal though, in it the Leo Cloth and Phoenix Cloth fused, Ikki became a flaming Leo Saint.
Sure, the fuse made him powerful.
But the Phoenix cloth alone gives:
>"immortality"
>can burn literally everything
>ultimate power is destroying your enemy's brain
>ultimate power is destroying your enemy's brain
What makes you think that attack is inherent to the Cloth? Ikki has all his attacks, no matter if he is the Phoenix Saint or the Leo Saint.
I'm pretty sure they get all their signature's powers from the Cloth.
Otherwise Gold Saints would be using their old tecniques when they were bronze shitters.
>Otherwise Gold Saints would be using their old tecniques when they were bronze shitters.
Kurumada didn't even consider the fact Saints could change classes when he started the series, that thing was only added to the canon 20 years after the original manga ended, only Dohko and Shion were broze saints, all other 10 were Gold Saints from the get go.
>Otherwise Gold Saints would be using their old tecniques when they were bronze shitters.
Only Dohko and Shion were bronzies, they always had their same techs.
Didn't knew that, but honestly that would make more sense IMO.
They never really implied that "normal" humans were able to cast out powers without a Armor, only the Saints themselves could, even without it.
>Didn't knew that
If you are an anime-only it's understantable, the manga is the one that says all Gold Saints were Golds from the get go, showing them doning their Cloths as 12 year olds.
Yes, never touched the manga, maybe i should.
It's way more violent, if that's to your liking, the art is a bit rough for someone coming from the anime as well, so it is an acquired taste.
Wasn't there some shit about her being 17 by the time of Next Dimension?
Next Dimension happens mere months after the end of the original manga series.
>tfw Kurumada gets the coronavirus
tits too big.
>Kurumada has a thing for giving female mentors to his MCs
>But he's also a homosexual so that mean no /ss/
Life isn't fair
Best Kurumada girl coming up.
