Saori seems to be a bad person...

And yet more ramblings:
Good points:
- The idea that the foundation Graude casually admitted in a collective interview that they sent 100 youngsters for their deaths for the sake of the late Kido Mitsumasa hobby is just that funny. The fact that the press made little to no alarm is a little disappointing though...
- The Pandora boxes for everyone of the bronze saints... Always beautiful... People give to little credit to Kurumada-sensei art (though I fall guilty of this same sin)
- The fact that Seiya is the Eighth is interesting... to the point that if you read a little into it the boxes COULD be ordered for arrival order. More on this in the next chapter

Ymmv points:
- The Real Event, Fictional Cause trope... seems forced once you realize that the Saints are the most incredible thing in the world but the Greece is that far of being a global potency... maybe justifiable as the Saints were supposed to be a secret...
- Maybe the fact that Saori spoils the existence of the 88 Saints...
- Don't know what to make of Jabu and Saori's abusive relationship... But that frame when Seiya refused to be rode and grabbed the whip lefting the spoiled little brat speechless... though maybe I read too much into it... Except that it reflects a little too well their mythological origins: the Unicorn as a pure entity that's subservient to virgins, Athena being a virgin goddess, and the Pegasus being born from the blood of a mother (read as Medusa) slew by a champion of said Athena... the very later being overwrote for the sake of a original plot...

Bad points:
- The pseudo science behind the Saints seems like a lot of bullshit once you realize that Tatsumi is just showing photos random holes in walls and ground while saying "a Saint did it"... He does so when they have 7 to 8 guys that very well could do a live demonstration...
- Seiya and Jabu then exchange some blows... my point is taken... and Tatsumi is left hanging...
- So we learn that Seiya's objective is finding his long lost sister Seika... When you are an Anime first viewer, it's easy to connect the dots and say Seika could be Marin, just cause both are redheads. But then you remember that in the last page of chapter 2 Marin showed her face to Seiya as a goodbye... and Seiya made nothing of it... Infering more about it here is spoiler territory(1)...

I didn't imagine that Saori was that entitled and harsh as a child.
