Saints of Sagittarius
This constellation depicts the very
atypical centaur Chiron, a renowned teacher who was intelligent
and kind. Likewise, the Sagittarius Saints exemplify integrity,
compassion, wisdom, and courage. They make remarkable leaders,
for their self-sacrificing nature and purity of heart are an
inspiration to everyone around them. Aiolos is the Sagittarius
Saint of modern times in the original Saint Seiya, while
Sisyphus is the Sagittarius Saint of the 18th century in Lost
Canvas.

Sagittarius Aiolos
Aiolos had an unblemished reputation
of selflessness and loyalty that all other
Saints sought to emulate. He was even next
in line to become Pope. Then one fine day he
stumbled upon the Pope trying to murder baby
|
|
Athena. In the
struggle that followed, Aiolos was |
|
able to unmask
the Pope, and saw that this wasn't |
|
the Pope at
all, but Gemini Saga. He quickly realized |
|
that Saga had
killed the Pope, so he grabbed Athena |
|
and fled
Sanctuary. Saga couldn't let him live after |
|
that. Acting as
the Pope, he branded Aiolos a traitor |
|
and sent
Capricorn Shura to kill him. Shura caught |
|
up to Aiolos
and managed to mortally wound him |
|
before Aiolos
escaped again. With his dying |
|
breath Aiolos
handed the baby to a tourist |
|
from
Japan and begged him to raise the |
|
holy child. But Aiolos' loyalty did not end
with his death. His spirit watched over
the goddess and her champions even |
|
from beyond the grave.

Sagittarius Sisyphus
|
When Hades stormed
Sanctuary, Sisyphus |
|
was the only Saint able
to stand up despite the
enormous pressure of Hades' spell, and let loose
his golden arrow at the god. Hades easily deflected
the arrow, and shot it right back to pierce Sisyphus' |
|
heart, putting him into
a coma in the Dream World. There,
poor gentle Sisyphus was tortured by his own guilt, for
he |
believed he was the one who triggered the
Holy War by separating
Athena from Alone, the boy fated to become Hades' vessel. Athena
used her divine power to enter his nightmare and convinced him
that
the Holy War was inevitable. This freed Sisyphus and he came
back
stronger than ever. After helping defeat the four dream gods, he
injured his own eyes in a battle against Garuda Aiacos in order
to
save the ship of hope. At last the Saints came to the gates of
the
Lost Canvas, guarded by Sphinx Pharaoh. He demanded the
heart of a Saint that could balance against the feather of
truth, and since Sisyphus was the most selfless and
loyal, not to mention powerful enough to evade
Pharaoh's trickery, Sisyphus offered
his own and passed the trial. |

Sagittarius Techniques |
|
Golden Arrow*
Sagittarius' most basic attack is shooting
his arrow. Although it packs quite a punch on his own, it could
also be enhanced by Athena with the ability to harm a god, or by
the power of other Gold Saints to break through impregnable
walls. |
|
Infinity Break
Sagittarius maximizes his Cosmo and then
shoots it out as an infinite number of spiraling light arrows
which pierce everything in their path. This attack destroys the
army of Horus in Episode G, and is likened to the power
of the sun god. |
|
Light
Arrows*
Sagittarius can set aside his physical
arrows and make ones out of pure Cosmo. Sisyphus shoots a
barrage of these to counter Garuda Aiacos' fire arrows when
protecting the ship of hope. It seems to be a lesser version of
Infinity Break. |
|
Chiron's
Light Impulse
A golden wind created by the pressure of
Sagittarius' Cosmo gathers around him and repels harm. Sisyphus
uses it to blow out Garuda Aiacos' wrathful flames and even push
back the ship of darkness. |
|
Atomic Thunderbolt
Sagittarius concentrates Cosmo into his
fist and shoots it out as a stream of electrified energy balls
at his opponent. |
|
Group Techniques |
|
Athena Exclamation
The honor code of the Saints dictates that
all battles must be one on one, but Athena Exclamation can only
be performed by three Saints. It has the force of the Big Bang,
and is so overpowered that Athena herself had it banned.
However, Saints have been known to use it under extreme
circumstances. |
|
|
Sunlight*
The Zodiac constellations have long bathed
in the light of the Sun, and the Gold armors that represent them
have absorbed an infinite amount of sunlight. To perform this
incredible blast of energy, all the Gold Saints focus their
Cosmo into the tip of Sagittarius' arrow, thereby fusing their
powers as one. |
|
|
This attack was
used to break through the Wailing Wall by bringing the full
intensity of a star into the darkest depths of Hell. Although it
is said that Athena Exclamation has the force of the Big Bang,
Supernova is undoubtedly more powerful, since it utilizes the
combined strength of twelve Gold Saints instead of three. It
instantly disintegrates everything in its vicinity, including
those who cast it, and sends waves of devastation rippling
outwards. |
