So it delivers. So they explained pretty clearly where the mokurenji beads from the original series that Shaka carried comes from.

And finally next episode: Bennu KAGAHO vs. Taurus RASGADO/ALDEBARAN. This is going to be epic. Another 2 months waiting is a bit much....

Well, a recurrent theme from Saint Seiya is sacrifice.

Too many cool and strong gold saint won't get animated in this series (Sysphus and Defteros among others, although I like Degel and Kardia as well)

This is just getting better and better, also the animation too. I thought I like Pisces a lot but not until I got to see Asmita. He is just my kind of character the kind that you have to pay attention to what he talks or you won't fully understand him.

Oh also, Athena is pretty damn hot for a goddess.

Unlikely to be animated. I wonder if Manigoldo will even make an appearance....

The main arc after Kagaho vs. Rasgado is

Well, many interesting gold saint with either interesting personality or techniques haven't made an appearance yet....

So far we have seen:
Libra Dohko (alive)
Aries Shion (alive)
Pisces Albafica (dead)
Virgo Asmita (dead)

We've seen but not seen the epicness of:
Saggitarius Sisyphus (I swear he is too BADASS)

Next episode we will be seeing:
Taurus Rasgado/Aldebaran

Saints we haven't seen:
Cancer Manigoldo (wait to see how badass he is)
Aquarius Degel (ice badassness)
Scorpio Kardia (another poison)
Leo Regulus (too young)
Capricorn El Cid (epically badass)
Gemini Defteros (???!!)

Both Dohko and Shion haven't shown their epicness yet. In other words, only two gold saints were properly shown (and they died) and you liked them both. Wait to see the other 10.

@wakka9ca: Well, I like both of them because of their interesting personality and the way they present them to us is really interesting too, not in a way like most of the show always did "let just say he is badass" and we just have to think he is badass. It is like they just throw a stone or two at us without telling us anything about it *cough* (I am staring at you Sengoku BASARA)

I will take your words on that and waiting to see the rest of the episodes.

Kagaho is the Bennu, the Egyptian version of the Phoenix. That's why their cloth are so alike (with Phoenix Divine Cloth version, not the Bronze one)

It turned out the Bronze Cloth are always the shittiest looking artifacts in Saint Seiya. All surplice (even those of Terrestrial Stars) are much more detailed. On the other hand, the Divine version of the Bronze cloths look better than Gold cloths (since they are superior anyway)

FYI (for those unfamiliar with the original Saint Seiya)
108 Specters are classified as 36 Celestial/Heavenly Stars (strength varying from silver saint to gold saint equivalent) and 72 Terrestrial/Earthly Stars (strength varying from Bronze to Silver equivalent). Amongst the 36 Celestials, 3 are known as the Judges (Garuda, Wyvern and Griffon) A few gods are working under Hades as well, notably the twin gods Hypnos and Thanatos. As a nice addition from Lost Canvas, four additional minor gods of dreams are working under Hypnos.

adding => wakka9ca

From hades's 108 specters only few of them were named or fought vs athena's saints, many of them were only shown in mass scenes.

exept specters hades in his army although has skeletons.

Skeletons are the lowest ranking soldiers of Hades' army, the equivalents of Athena's rankless soldiers. Unlike them, the Skeletons wear weak versions of Surplices and are often armed with sickles, as they have no mastery over Cosmo. Skeletons were also featured in Lost Canvas trying to subdue Unicorn Yato in Mandrake Fyodor's torture chamber, and being subsequently defeated by Crane Yuzuriha.

If Spectres don't die or even get injured on the spot, then how did Albafica killed/rendered useless Minos in the previous eps? This is stupid...

So it was thanks to Asmita that they were able to kill the specters immediately on the original series. Nice explanation.

So, the fight of Tenma and Asmita was just an illusion at the end... Asmita also ends being a nice guy after all, just happens he is full of doubts (due his blindness) and was not only helping Tenma obtaining the fruits of the Tree of Paradise, but was also testing him... And he is a fucking troll too, lmao.

If I remember right, the Specter who Tenma's group finds when they are about to left the Underworld, Stand, was the one that Kanon defeated so easily in the original series (we didn't even got to known his name). Is nice for the author's part to give some chances to characters who didn't had any role in the classic.
Stand mentions that, since Yato's constelation is a horse, he wants to "ride him"... Lol. Not that the fight went anywhere, since Yato is saved by Athena's sword and the fights ends in an inconclusive note.

Asmita is also a true bro, not only he uses his cosmos to create the way to seal the Specters, but he also repairs Tenma's cloth. What an awesome guy.
"An old man like me wouldn't be of any help". Oh, you old fox, how well you know to hide your abilities...

I love how the cat Specter is acting all high and mighty, talking shit about his partners and his enemies... while he doesn't do shit. Oh, I remembered he is just a comic relief character, nevermind.

For last, I'm still salty that Asmita died without confronting a foe of his league. He only had the chance to rape defeat some low tier level Specters and fighting Tenma (when he wasn't even going serious). While his sacrifice was very noble (and decisive for Athena's army) and he died in peace thinking the world is a beautiful place after living in darkness all his life, he deserved much better.

Oh... Ok so Asmita's behavior in last episode was basically a dying man's last rodeo and him wanting to make sure that the ones left afterwards would be able to carry on the torch. You know what, Asmita? In light of that, I forgive your behavior and apologize for the rude name calling.
It was entirely my bad. You're cool.

Shaka's still a little shit though.

Asmita was a cool character, but it's a shame he ended up gone so soon. I can only imagine they did that because if Athena's side would be able to fight the Specters on equal ground with him as an active force Hades's side would be obliterated, so he had to go. Sad but understandable.
