In the comic "Saint Seiya", aside from the five powerful and hidden masters Lyra Silver Saint Olphi who have their own protagonist halo, the 12-bit Golden Saint is firmly established in the 88 constellations. At the top of the pyramid, their individual strengths may be high or low, their personalities may be good or evil, and they may have more or less roles. The four we want to take stock of today are the Golden Saints who are average in strength, righteous and kind, and have many roles.

Leo Aiolia

Leo Aiolia is a golden saint that I personally like very much. He is brave, upright, kind, strong and absolutely loyal to the goddess. Masami Kurumada almost all the saints should be All the virtues he possesses are given to this character, making him a template for the Saint. He is the first Golden Saint (except his brother) to officially recognize Saori as the goddess Athena and swear allegiance to her. He is the first Golden Saint to risk his own life to attack the false pope.

Of course, he also has weaknesses. First, he is impulsive. He does not plan before taking action and does not consider the consequences. The most obvious one is that after learning the truth about the goddess, he immediately rushed into the Pope's Hall to fight for the fake pope, but he was almost mind-controlled. The second is that under his strong appearance, he is actually soft, sensitive and depressed in his heart. This is because his brother Sagittarius Aiolos was framed for assassinating the goddess and defecting to the sanctuary. For the Saints, this is It is almost the most unforgivable sin, and as his traitorous brother, even the Golden Saint will definitely be jealous and criticized. The pressure accumulated over the years can be imagined, so looking through the entire comic, there are few You can see his smile.

Do you have a feeling that the personalities of Aiolia and Seiya are very similar. Needless to mention those good aspects, they are simply standard features of the protagonist of this comic. Speaking of weaknesses, Seiya is also the most impulsive among the five. Of course, as the protagonist among the protagonists, this is power and charm. Seiya also has a knot in his heart, that is, he has been thinking about his sister. This is also his spiritual The biggest loophole was exploited by the enemy in the Southern Ocean during the Poseidon Chapter. I think this is so similar because Seiya has been practicing in the Sanctuary for many years. Aiolia is the senior Golden Saint that Seiya has the most contact with and admires the most, so he will naturally follow his example when he grows up.

Finally, let’s talk about Aiolia’s strength. His unique skills are lightning speed punch (it seems to be also called plasma light speed punch). According to the comics, all Golden Saints should be able to reach the speed of light with their fists, but only Leo can really use the light-speed punch as a unique move, so I guess he should be a Golden Saint who has refined his fist speed to the extreme. There is nothing fancy about it. Simple and direct, only fast (it feels like the light speed version of Pegasus Meteor Fist , I even suspect that the magic bell is teaching Seiya Meteor Fist on behalf of Aiolia).

However, I personally think that his strength should be ranked in the second echelon. He only studies physics but not magic. His spirit can be easily restrained (scent, sound, and mental control are all weaknesses). Although he is fast, his strength is relatively insufficient. It is easy to be restrained (for example, by the earthworm-like Hades Warriors for a period of time), but as long as he is not attacked by surprise, he has the ability to penetrate the enemy's heart and kill them both at the same time, so there is no problem in being placed in the second echelon.

Virgo Shaka

Virgo Golden Saint Shaka, the officially recognized Saint who is closest to the gods and Buddhas, has unfathomable strength. I personally think that his strength is definitely in the first echelon among the 12 Golden Saints, especially after opening his eyes.

Shaka’s special skills are Six Paths of Reincarnation and Tianwu Baolun . It seems that there is another one that I can’t remember.The Six Paths of Reincarnation is a space skill, similar to the Corpse Qi Underworld Wave and Different Dimension Space. It can throw enemies into the Six Paths of Reincarnation. When I was a kid, I read comics and saw that Ikki would be thrown into the hell path, the hungry ghost path, the animal path, and Shura. Dao and all that, it feels super scary. Now that I am older, I feel that human Dao and Heaven are no less terrifying, haha.

The Tianwu Baolun is his best trick. It is a battle formation with both offense and defense. When combined with opening the eyes to release the accumulated energy, it can easily deprive of the six senses no matter how many enemies there are. The resurrected Saga in the Pluto Chapter , Shura and Kamiao have to use the foul trinity forbidden moves to fight, which shows how strong he is. Later, he took the lead in comprehending the eighth sense - alaya consciousness. At this time, he had surpassed other golden saints in terms of realm.

Of course, apart from the battle with the haloed Ikki, the biggest question about Shaka's strength comes from the evenly matched fight between him and Aiolia in the Pope's Hall. Kurumada also mentioned in the narration that there are two golden saints. They are so powerful that they can compete for a thousand days to determine the winner (I can't remember the original words, but that's probably what it means). It seems that the lion and virgin are equally powerful, but in the Pluto chapter, the gap in strength between the two can be clearly seen.

Regarding this, let me make a wild guess. This kind of wrestling between the golden saints should be a competition of internal strength or realm. Among the twelve golden saints, except , Libra, are the seniors, , Gemini, , and Sagittarius. Slightly older, the others are about the same age, have been practicing for about the same amount of time, and their internal strength is probably about the same, and the level of being able to become a Golden Saint is also about the same, so it is normal for Leo and Virgo to compete with no winner.

Shaka's character setting is biased toward the Buddha. He has the heart of a Bodhisattva and also uses thunderbolt methods, all based on his true heart. In the Galactic War Chapter, in Death Queen Island , he faced Ikki who was like a slaughtered lamb. He easily let it go when he saw the justice and kindness hidden in the other party's heart. In the Zodiac Scroll, he did not hesitate to attack Ikki. Killed the killer.

Libra Tonghu

Libra's golden saint Tong Hu, and the former pope Aries Shion, are both super seniors who survived the previous holy war. The story of their youth is covered in Kurumada Masami's later works, so I won't mention it since I haven't read it. I'll just talk about my impression of him in the original manga.

Tong Hu plays the role of a little old man in most of the comics. He wears a bamboo hat and sits motionless on a cliff at Wulao Peak in China all year round, just to monitor the place where the power of the underworld is sealed in the distance. He has lived for more than 200 years, so he is very senior. The other Golden Saints should be more than one generation behind him, so they have to call him "teacher" when they see him. Moreover, they have never seen him take action, so they don't understand his strength. Dismasco almost lost his life.

It was not until the Pluto Chapter that the seal of the underworld was broken and the old man's mission was over. Then he went down the mountain to the sanctuary on crutches and took the time to light up the zodiac lantern. In Aries Palace , he happened to meet his resurrected old gay friend Shi Ang, and was forced to unlock his biggest secret. What secret method of the goddess allowed his heart to beat only 100,000 times a year. One year in the human world, one day as a child tiger, His body remains in the best condition of an 18-year-old, coupled with more than 200 years of mental skills and internal strength. Although he has not done much, I still think he is the first golden saint in the modern era.

Finally, let’s talk about Libra’s Golden Saint Cloth. It is very awesome. In addition to being wearable, it is also a mobile arsenal and can be split into twelve weapons. Each Golden Saint has one, including sword, shield, and nunchucks. , a pair of three-section sticks, a spear, and a pair of crutches. Their destructive power is astonishing. The seven pillars of the Neptune Space were destroyed by them, but there was nothing they could do in the face of the sighing wall. After all, that thing was too thick.

Scorpio Milo

Scorpio Golden Saint Milo is a man who attaches great importance to friendship. He has a good gay friend who is Aquarius and they talk about everything. In the Golden Zodiac Chapter, in order to save his apprentice Binghe, Camus did not hesitate to hide it from the Pope and made an ice coffin in the Libra Palace to freeze the apprentice inside. From the conversation between Milo and Binghe later, we can see that such a confidential matter Kamio actually told Milo, which shows that they have a close relationship.

Milo knew that Camus was a cold-faced guy with a warm heart, so he told Binghe the truth about Binghe very considerately, and repeatedly tolerated and let go of Binghe when Binghe broke into the palace, and finally saved Binghe. He has nothing to do with Binghe. Intersection, doing this is all for Kamius. In the Poseidon chapter, he donated blood to Hyoga's White Bird Saint Cloth on behalf of the dead Camus to help repair it. That was a lot of blood, and it was fun to be friends.

In the Pluto Chapter, when he saw the resurrected golden trio using forbidden moves to kill Shaka, Milo became angry and went directly from the Scorpio Palace to the Virgo Palace. Even if there was Camus on the opposite side, he could still kill him. This shows that he does not value friendship. Unprincipled.

Milo's unique skill is called Crimson Poison Needle. In addition to the function of depriving the five senses, the most powerful thing is that it can bring unbearable pain to the opponent. I feel that this is a mental attack. However, his achievements are relatively few, except for fighting with Apart from the battle on Ice River, in the Pluto chapter, Garen was tortured in the Pope's Hall without wearing the holy robe. When facing the resurrected golden trio, he was beaten to the ground by Saga without even taking two hits. In addition, he felt His attack method is indeed single. I personally think that his strength can only be regarded as second-tier.

Originally I just wanted to briefly recall this comic that I read countless times in my childhood, but I didn’t expect that the more I wrote, the more I would write. After all, it is so familiar. Those nights when I hid comics in my homework, those days when I was practicing tricks with my classmates, those simple joys can never be found again.
