Recently, in the plot of the second half of the first volume of TO, the identity of Ikki 's master " Gu Ludi ", which has been troubling Saint fans in the original work of Saint Seiya, was finally revealed. This is the only official time that Gu Ludi has been "identified", and at the same time, one of the century's "holes" in SS has been filled.
The origin of the "scars" on Gu Ludi's body
As we all know, in the portrayal of Gu Ludi in the Saint series, he is a mysterious character with scars all over his body. However, the official did not mention a word about the origin of these scars, which caused many netizens to speculate.
Some say that he is not the Sagittarius Aiolos who died after fighting Shura 13 years ago; others say that he is a Saint who survived the last Holy War, because the setting shows that he is a retired Saint and has survived for hundreds of years... However, all speculations have not been officially recognized.
In the SS plot, we know that Gu Ludi is a person who firmly believes that hatred will produce powerful power, and strives to cultivate Ikki into a saint full of hatred and revenge. However, the reason is explained in TO that Gu Ludi received instructions from the Pope after being hit by Phantom Demon King Fist .
In fact, before he was possessed by the Demon King Fist, Gu Ludi was tortured by Cancer Dismasco in the prison of the Sanctuary. However, he never yielded to the power of the Pope to cultivate Ikki into an evil saint, so in the end the Pope used the Demon Emperor Fist to make Gu Ludi obey and ordered him to disguise himself as a mysterious man and attack Athena.
However, Guludi's attack on Athena was unsuccessful, but he was chased by Shura the Capricorn. During the battle, Shura used the holy sword to leave many scars on Guludi's body, which were combined with those left by Dismasco's torture. Therefore, Guludi appeared in front of the audience as a man covered in scars.
The origin of Guludi's "mask"
Because Guludi has always been loyal to the goddess Athena, he has never obeyed the Pope's ridiculous orders, so in After being hit by the Phantom Demon King's Fist, in order to facilitate Gu Ludi's attack on Athena, the Pope found the mask sculptor of the Sanctuary and the sculptor of the Silver Saint - Rodin to create a mask for him.
In the TO setting, the masks worn by the female Saints in the Sanctuary were all made by Rodin. When the Pope visited Rodin, he was making masks for Sharna. The Pope told Rodin that he wanted a mask that embodied "anger and terror." Therefore, the Pope finally found the style he wanted on the wall of the carving room, which was also the classic mask later worn by Guludi.
Finally, Gu Ludi’s name in the TO plot was actually named “Jorge” (transliteration: “Jorge”), and his nationality was set Peruvian .
