>For Athena's sake, use a different attack Seiya!

inb4 this thread becomes just spics as always
I wish just once we could discuss the actual anime and not your shitty childhood memories no one outside Latin America can relate to

nah

I'm guessing Shiryu isn't going to be healed?

>anime that was more popular in LATAM than other place other than Japan
>waaah why those spics come here to discuss it

Get the fuck out then, whiny pendejo.

what happened to Shiryu?
is the manga still going?

Toei from about the mid 80s to about the mid 2000s is the single greatest TV anime studio ever with their ability to polish turds like Saint Seiya

Isn't "cosmos" in SS just some mythical cosmic force with no limit? therefore there is no such thing as "nonexistent cosmos", one character's power is simply a direct correlation of how much they can tap from that unlimited source

He's blind now I'm still in the middle of watching it

>spoiler
Odds are I could pick any episode at random that features him and there'd be a 50/50 chance that he's blind in it

>whiney pendejo
As mexican american I dont even speak stupid fucking spanglish so fuck off with your shit nigger

Top fucking kek. Thanks for making my night user.

Yup that about sums it up. Different levels of cosmos too but essentially infinite.

Hilda was my waifu

Here, let me tell you how seiya's fights goes:
>your puny meteors can't make shit
>nani?, is he increasing his speed? what's this cosmos?
>waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

Violate was my waifu.

Seiya use his brain more times than he gets credit for. For example when he realized about Misty's air barrier or tricked Valentine to get him out of the Cocytus

It has been explained a couple of times but I prefer how Seiya said it on Overture

>If you talk about eternity, we posessed it too. When we burn our cosmos, we become one with the universe and we reach the infinity
I guess that's the best translation

>as X
Fuck off

Jajajajaja

Have faith, produce miracles.
Watch this.
Miraculous bump.

I liked their story and all, but it felt really weird. It was as if a shoujo manga was shoved inside LC out of nowhere

Isn't that just all the Seiya spinoffs at this point?

And speaking of, what happened to Santia Sho's anime anyway? Is there anymore information on that?

Nothing yet, but apparently a new project is coming

...

I wish anime makers didn't have such a hate boner for Shun.
>Manga: needs sometime to be saved by Ikki, but is actually competent and defeats powerfull foes when he cuts lose
>Movies: gets absoluely rekt in every fight (including by the Gold Saint he defeated before) and needs Ikki to one-shot his opponents for him

Why does everyone always fall face first in Saint Seiya?

I wish people actually paid attention to the series
>>It suddenly works
Yeah except that he loses 1/3 of the fights he had in the series or all of the big bosses that he outright lost to and the world was only saved by Athena.

>>anime that was more popular in LATAM than other place other than Japan
Except this is a lie, I wish dumb mexicans stopped lying to everyone. Asians also like saint seiya, I remember there was a Shiryu statue a couple years ago that sold out in an instant in China. Europeans like it too, stop pretending you're the only ones that like it.

Also chicanos are disgusting, speak spanish or english you piece of shit

Yeah cosmos doesn't have level cap, it can grow and grow and grow. The thing is that humans themselves are not infinite so while they can tap into more and more there's levels that are out of their range, even the 5 main characters tapping into their full +1000 power and attacking at once was barely enough to crack Hades' surplice, meanwhile Athena outright impaled him.

I always felt weird how the bronze protags could beat Gold level opponents and then next few arcs struggle with opponents near the same level and bellow, like some specters

Where's that giant compilation of face faults from the last storytime?

THEY ARE CALLED SAINTS BECAUSE THEY CREATE MIRACLES

>it's been almost 4 years since the end of cdza

>missing a ton of gold saints because they decided to betray you
>have bronze saints that are strong enough to face gold saints
>just have them be bronze
Why Athena?

The issue is that even when he figured out that Misty's barrier was just him moving very quickly, the trick to beating it still came down to Seiya just becoming faster than ever before during the battle.

>arcs

12 Houses > Hades > Silver Saints > Asgard > Poseidon >>>>>> Galactic War > Shit > Black Saints > Steel Saints

I love this parody I wish he continued

I say the same about Dragonball Z with americans. Not my fault if you had no Dragonball and got stuck with stupid non-Japanese names.

Basically the bronzies raised their cosmos above the gold saints for a brief amount of time. Just enough to "win". However, since they didn't master the seventh sense, that power wasn't permanent. At base power, they're somewhere in between the silvers and golds.

Eh, before the 12 temples arc, Seiya's asspull wins were at least enjoyable. After that, he became even blander and famously jobs the whole fight until appeal to the mother of asspulls (aka Athena).

For all their problems, Shiryu and Hyoga still had decent fights (for the series pattern). Shun had so few wins that you can count in a hand. And Ikki was Ikki.

For all its faults, SS Omega did a good job with some of these tropes. At least Kouga used a good arsenal.

go to discuss your 4kids and nelvana shit then

>It was as if a shoujo manga was shoved inside LC out of nowhere
Pal, that's the very definition of Lost Canvas. With yaoi and all. Straight relationships were few as fuck.

Obviously he was talking about the west. China doesn't exactly like this place and other places are irrelevant.

>essentially infinite.

only for seiya

>Little girl wants to stay with Albafica, who is all "don't stay near me, you will get hurt"
>Violate yearns for Aiaco, her psychotic hot boss, to the point she worked hard through the rabks to earn a place by his side
>Dohko gave a hug to a guy who was never hugged once his entire life
>All girls are stacked, but not too much
Damn, this IS shoujo

Not weird at all the manga makes it clear, first of all outside of Shun nobody matched a Gold Saint in power during the sanctuary, Hyoga only beat Camus because Camus didn't want to kill him and Deathmask lost to Shiryu because his cloth left him. The rest were never matched in power, Seiya managed to land some hits on Aiolia and Saga but they didn't do that much, Ikki only stalled Shaka then got BTFO by Saga, Shura sacrificed himself to save Shiryu.

Now we take that they managed to reach a level near the GS and landed a few hits, but the thing is that they never master 7th sense so while they can achieve that kind of power it's not a constant just a brutal spike they can get for a few moments and unlike the anime in the manga cloths do matter, Gold Saints have a high powerlevel without even trying because of their cloths while bronzes can reach it but can't keep that up forever. In Poseidon they learn how to control these spikes better raising their own level by a huge margin but still not GS level and it shows because they power up a lot by using gold cloths compared to their normal ones.

By the time Hades comes they're way above Silver but below Gold level in base and much more with sudden bursts, the exception being Ikki and of course Shun, everyone powers up during this arc though and their level finally matches and surpasses the gold saints

Galactic wars and Black saints is great you fucking pleb, anyone that dislikes Ikki vs everyone should kill himself.

>Shiryu's waifu starts bathing in front of him once he goes blind
The man has suffered

I am currently rewatching this show again. And I still enjoy it as the first time. Damn, I wish some current animes had an art style similar to SS.

Now that I understand some japanese, it changes slightly the perception of the characters. For example, they use the word "ware ware" to say "us". In the translation they sound as friends. However the "wareware" is commonly used in a military setting. Thus, instead of sounding as just friends, they do sound as a "squad".

I guess SS influenced me a lot as a child. It gave me a strong interest in astronomy wich eventually turned into science (McGyver helped too). This put me in the path to study engineering and physics.

Nowadays I am getting my PhD in engineering in the country of the eternal wasabi, probably thanks to the fascination I got as a child in afternoon anime.

By the way, SS is still quite famous here in Japan. You can go to Akihabara and buy myth cloths in several stores. You can go to some restaurants and they will have the manga along one piece, jojo, or another classic. Not long ago there was even an art excibition of SS.

>>inb4: Spic

My fellow spics often mock the character referring to the team as "Seiya y los otros" (Seiya and the others), "Seiya y otros caballeros" (Seiya and other saints), etc when it's a direct translations from Seiya-tachi, which it's a Japanese modism

Bump, but also the important question: What is your sign?

Sagittarius [\spoiler]

Pegasus Comet!

Water is wet too.

Actually Seiya has a nice variety of attacks compared to his friends

>Pegasus Ryuseiken
>Pegasus comet
>Pegasus Rolling Crash

Thread raised my interest in SS again. How is Saintia Sho?

Pretty bad. It's just gold saints wanking and the Saintias who are supposed to be the main characters are always sidelined. The mangaka is a huge Milo's fangirl.

Best gold saint coming through

Except for that autistic peruvian fuck who has the bigass collection, in general frogs are the true SSfags.

Peruvian here, I fucking hate that guy, he even has a fucking museum, hope it all burns down

AND I RAN

This. It's Lost Canvas if it was written by a scorpion fujoshi

Shiryu and Shun have better variety

Shiryu has like 3 attacks

Shoryuha
Ryuhisho
Kouryuha
Hyakuryuha
Excalibur

Saint Seiya is such wasted potential holy shit

>one of the best settings in shonen history
>anime has amazing OST
>some really good characters
but
>formulatic fights
>most chars besides the GS are bland and boring
>almost FT-tier writing

>GSwankers

every time

>complaining about writing in a 30 year old manga

Go read some trash like HxH mate

So like all shonen then?

el hermano is the best character

>tfw for all the retarded omega was you actually liked it because it actually progressed the storyline beyond the usual stupid shit stalling right before the hades arc or dumbass prequels about dumbass golds who simply can't stop being betraying shits.

I WALKED ALONG THE AVENUE
I NEVER THOUGHT I'D MEET A GIRL LIKE YOU

It wasn't formulaic back then faggot. Saint Seiya pretty much coined the modern rescue arc.

>Shiryu has like 3 attacks
Just 3?

>La cólera del dragón
>El dragón flameante
>Dragón viviente
>Dragón naciente
>Dragón ascendente
>Dragón de luz del monte Rozan

Instead the entire sanctuary got tricked again because the saints can't stop being tricked despite the exact same shit happened 25 years ago

And thats what makes it amazing
God bless Shiori and her chad Garudas

I feel pretty bad for Jabu. He was dominated for years simply because he was destined to be Saori's bitch

Worst part is that Jabu was supposed to be one of the main 5. He was Seiya's rival, basically the same role Kenzaki had on Ring ni Kakero. Kurumada also coined the shounen rival trope. At least Jabu still give us some good laughs

Cólera do Dragão
Cólera dos 100 Dragões
Dragão Voador
Último Dragão
Excalibur

Jabu is a jobber for life.

Why Leo is always the best boy?

Will be Assassin become another Aioria wild ride?

>Pegasus Ryuseiken
>doesnt work
"Fool, youre cosmos is too weak.
>does it again
"Fool, an attack that has been used once on a Saint will never work again"
>Does it again
"How can this be, its faster than before OH NOOOOOOO"

Yeah but when you have more cosmos behind the attack it becomes, in essence, a different attack. I wish they'd explain it better rather than saying you're attack won't work twice and then it fucking works twice

Good anime, ruined by latino fandom.

People complain a lot about the Ryuseiken, but it's still the #1 favorite technique by fans and it's no wonder why Seiya spams it a lot.

It's flashy, it hits hard when it can, it covers a big range to shower opponents, it moves fast which makes it hard to predict, it can end fight quickly against mooks - It's definitely a jack of all trades move.

And it can slowly break away defenses.

There's a reason why shounen heroes often have a base attack about punching really fast

but that's exactly the point of SS: try and try and try until you eventually win

This and Fist of North star were my childhood

>killing best saints too early
Why was Lost Canvas good again?

>Asgard not in top 3
Faggot.

I remember watching this show on Italian tv when I was little.

I don't remember much but I know I thought Hoga was a faggot, Shiryu was an edgelord and Shun was the best boy

How off am I? I should really re-watch it

>Hyoga was a faggot
Half-True
>Shiryu was an edgelord
False
>Shun was best boy
True

>edgelord
I thought Ikki was the edgelord out of the five main Bronze Saints

You remembered it wrong. Shun was the faggot, Ikki was the edgelord and Shiryu was best boy.

I watched this more than 22 years ago on a language that I was just starting to learn. I am most probably wrong

Do people really care about Caballeros del Zodiaco that much?

They had the more glorious deaths and also animated

You mean Guerrieri dello Zodiaco?
