That was his last act for redemption, the ultimate sacrifice, and I’ll give him the same opinion I had for every other Saint. Him telling the Bronze Saints “Protect our goddess” was so powerful, because it showed Saga as who he really was, not the person they met back in the Sanctuary Arc.Īnd of course, he was at the Wailing Wall. He tried to help Seiya and trusted him, and I really love that this side of him ported over. The Saga we knew from the classic series, the real Saga, was similar. That in itself was one of the most redeeming acts I’ve seen him do in this chapter. He had faith in them, in what they could do. It was him reacting to the gold dagger tried to use back in the day to kill the goddess, it was him crying because he didn’t want to kill her but he had to.Īthena taking his hands and Saga with tears in his eyes as he held the dagger was more touching that I’m willing to admit.
It was his expression when he looked at Athena, and at his brother. It’s what came next that really hit home. As they said, it wasn’t like they had more to lose anyway, and that was so sad. Only this time Saga (alongside Camus and Shura) was more wiling to use that technique. The whole scene of the two Athena Exclamations colliding is not that different from the previous one. Despite the circumstances, it was really considerate of him.

The Saint that chose to die to make amend for his (and his evil side’s) mistakes came back full force with that gesture. How he recovered Shaka’s rosary and gave it to Mu. I loved how much respect he showed him, afterwards. He couldn’t image what Shaka’s real objective was. I though about it for a while, and I came to a more plausible conclusion: maybe Saga sniffed something in the air, because he knew Shaka and the machinations of his mind, but that’s about it. I don’t think Saga understood why exactly Shaka was willingly subjecting himself to the Athena Exclamation. Dealing that deadly blow devastated them, no doubts.Īlthough, I don’t want to give Saga more credit than he deserves. He knew it was the only way for them to reach Athena. It’s not like he wanted to use it, because surely he didn’t want to fall that much, but he knew he had to do it. What really hit me was the determination Saga demonstrated when Shaka told them to use the Athena Exclamation, the forbidden technique Camus and Shura were way more afraid to use, Saga reminded them of their objective. I mean, sure he immediately recognized Shaka was playing with them, but I’m betting everything I own he was terrified of him. I might be looking into these things too much, but damn! Saga was scared. Onward to when the resurrected Saints fought Shaka. Obviously it didn’t work with Shaka, but that’s a given. They fooled Aiolia, even though he had suspects, but it worked. The plan of disguising themselves using the other Specters’ armors is brilliant. But thankfully that’s a story that doesn’t have space here. I’m really thankful that Kanon had a brain bigger than mine and stayed away, but I’m also thinking… would have Saga been able to kill his brother, had him been there?
That whole scene of Saga unveiling his cosmo was stunning, those visuals! I loved it.Īnd can we take a moment to realize he knew he was Kanon right off the bat? Like, just thanks to his cosmo and not by actually looking at his face?

Was free of any evil intentions,didn’t feel a stab of pain right through his heart.īut I do appreciate how he obliterated him just like Exodia obliterated Kaiba. I refuse to think that Saga, who definitely knew Kanon had a change of heart and I was ready to turn off the episode and go cry myself to sleep.Ĭan you imagine, as soon as he stepped into the Gemini Temple, what kind of emotions his mind went through? Not stepping into the temple, but finding his twin brother there. I was there, watching idly and calmly, and then Mu emphasized how difficult it was for them to do that. The pain he went through, can we talk about it? I’m not talking about the fight against Mu, because… well, honestly, the tears of blood got me. I’m here to talk about this man in particular. I know, I know, so far I gave basically every single Gold Saint a 10/10 score, but can you really blame me? They’ve all been better than their classic counterpart.īut I’m not here to talk about them.
Overall score (character, not looks): 10/10 Anyway he’s still called Gemini in this chapter, my poor man Saga is doomed to not have a name in the Italian dub.
