| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Sad twin story. |
| Now this is a pretty good villain. I knew when Shidou(syd?) was as boring as he was that we'd get something out of Bado. There is a direct contrast to Shun and Ikki with how the two were separated at birth, one to a fate that was far worse than the other and one that led them to spite the world and even come back to kill their own brother at a time. We could see the difference in Shidou and Bado's lives in the flashback alone. Bado was visibly poor, dirty, and letting out his anger hunting rabbits somewhat sadistically for food. At that point he was a somewhat frustrated brat but not like he is now. It was when his brother showed up with elegant clothing, a clean hair cut, a friendly joyous attitude, a horse, a full family on horses, and talk of servants when Bado truly cursed his fate. This is alike how Ikki did when Esmeralda was killed and he took his own masters life. The two have a similar life, but as Ikki put it, he found great friends, reunited with his brother, started to mold destiny by his hands and now is fighting with hope for a future of peace! Bado didn't have that realization, nor did he have someone come to his side, instead he was in the shadow alone this whole time- ready to let his own brother die in front of him. In other words, I like him. The idea of two people representing one star is cool! Hilda said that Odin chose the God Warriors and I'm curious about how much truth is in that. I wonder if Odin chose the God Warriors, but this new antagonist who's overpowered him made Hilda give the warriors Odin chose for a reason a fate that they were not destined to have. One strength of Saint Seiya is its willingness to show us our beloved characters get decimated. Ikki was stomped on, beaten while he was down, held up in a choke hold above the ground. It was awful, but it's something that drives home the message of Saint Seiya in a powerful way. We see how much perseverance and courage the saints have in a way that wouldn't be possible otherwise. |
