Kain's toughts

Saga starting off as an almost divine figure who believed he was a god and ending up dying defeated and humiliated like a mere mortal vs Aioros starting off as a mortal who died doing what was right and ending up as an almost divine figure after his death, not only for the characters but also for the audience

There is not fandom more dedicated and worst treated than the Latino fandom of Saint Seiya (or honestly any Latino fandom, but saint Seiya is more evident cuz I am part of it). People has been dedicate themselves to this anime since the 80's and have received nothing but scraps for DECADES. It doesn't help that we are poor third worldlers so our opinion doesn't matter since we are not an "important market".

We get ignored all the time in favor of USA and they don't even *like* Saint Seiya. But they got money so they get a reboot and a movie specifically tailored to them (Which. Still. Didn't. Make. Then. Interested. In. The. Franchise.)

If I ever meet Yoshi Ikezawa. I will bite.

This is why I am so satisfied and happy about the Pegasus Fantasy concerts (1 and 2) they were not perfect but they were for *us*. The only other country with a similar concert is France and they only had one. Now I own exclusive merch made just for us (this used to happen only to Japan) and I see foreigners being jealous of us in social media (even!!? Japanese people?!!!! Holy shit bruh)

The concerts were a complete success so Toei would be foolish to keep ignoring all of us who are still here after 40 years.

But then again, Toei has been nothing but foolish about saint Seiya so I am just cautiously optimistic about the future. Maybe senpai will finally notice us? Please?

Being in contact with Athena's cosmos since early childhood it's what have the protags their main character powers.

Basically it unlocked their potential, so Seiya and co are capable of improve their abilities beyond what a human can, and getting pretty close of the likes of Gods, but only while Athena 'buffs' them with her cosmos. This is why sometimes they can punch God in the face and sometimes gold level saints kick their collective asses.

This doesn't mean that they suddenly become invincible while Athena helps them out ; they have to grow their power with effort and training like any person, but this unlocked potential makes them develop faster and in emergencies allow them to push their bodies far beyond what a normal person could, and cling to life when they should have had died.

This also isn't limited to the main gang, the secondary bronzes could also theorically do it, but since the power scale grew so big so quickly they couldn't catch up fast enough to be useful. RIP.

And since this happens for being near Athena while a child develops, Kiki will grow up to have unlimited potential as well.
