Revisiting "Saint Seiya"

When I once again looked at a few bronze saints who were always bruised and bruised by the strong but stood up again and again, I finally cleared away the dark saints, silver saints, crystal saints, hot saints who came to take their lives and Saori Saint Seiya and other obstacles, crossed the Golden Zodiac and the Pope's Hall, picked up the golden shield of the statue of Athena, reflected in the direction of Saori's fall, and finally saved her to save the Sanctuary and save all mankind. Knowing that the follow-up battle of the polar fairy palace, the battle with the sea emperor, and the battle of the underworld is nothing more than the same - these people are the legendary undead warriors, the heart stops beating, the eyes are blind or even the five senses are deprived, or the spirit is destroyed even if they are Throwing them into the other dimension, they can always be reborn, with the help of their seventh sense, the call of their companion's microcosm, the warm power of Athena, all kinds of rebirths, and then, the new holy clothes are shining, and although they are exhausted, they look Full of energy, full of the sense of happiness mission and unremitting courage to keep making progress for the safety and happiness of human beings.
Then, they always win.

But I gradually stopped loving to see their victories, and no longer applauded in my heart for their bloody battles to overcome all kinds of harsh tempers. Since when, I am no longer the kid who runs home after school every day and turns on the TV, eyes glowing, and enjoys the feast of the battle of the Saints. I will no longer be entangled in one day because school is late and I miss the screen showing the polar regions. The name of the beautiful god fighter with the harp (Miyimei), those carefree, those innocent, those satisfactions that can be born from the little pleasures in life, all are gone, with the disappearance of childhood and even youth, Scattered in the vast distance at the end of memory.
Have I become a boring adult? The fall of those good people in the play, such as the Aquarius Kamui was hit by the freezing air of absolute zero that the disciple Sun Binghe finally realized; those good people were overwhelmed by evil, such as the Crystal Saint Seiya and Leo's Aiolia; those who were originally It was the accomplice of the evil forces who woke up at the last moment, such as Milo the Scorpio to stop the bleeding of the glacier, Shura the Capricorn put his golden holy clothes on Zilong; those shameless people got a belated lesson, such as the resentful spirit in the Cancer Palace Finally, because of the death of Dismask, I no longer linger and suffer, and so on, can no longer move me, make me cry or rush.

I don't know if this change comes from being familiar with the plot - I have read the chapters of the battles of the Bronze Saints and know that they are the protagonists, they won't die, they can live even if they die, so I don't Worry about whether they will win, peace will come anyway. I became a ruthless adult, watching the blood and sweat of the protagonists on the sidelines, not worrying, not bearing, but began to measure them with a playful attitude: just talking about the journey of the golden zodiac, the bronze saints are all What did you do and how much did you contribute to the victory? ...And can such a game bring new fun?

Aries? Mu Gang Xingya Zilong and Shun Binghe repaired the holy clothes and did not fight.
Taurus? It was Seiya who defeated Aldiba, but he actually only won by one move, and Aldiba didn't do his best. Later, Zilong Binghe also worked together to defeat him, and he let go. Count Seiya + 1
Gemini? Initially through the twin wombs, Zilong was blind and not fascinated by illusions. Shun relied on Ikki's help to save his life, and then worked hard to attack Saga's real body far away in the Pope's Hall. Later, in the Pope's Hall, Seiya and Saga fought against each other and did not take advantage of it, but it is said that it seems to have shattered the evil in Saga's heart and awakened his good side? It was Ikki who dragged Saga to his death and bought precious time for Seiya to obtain the golden shield of the statue of Athena. Zilong +0.5, Shun +0.5, Seiya +0.5, Ikki +1
Cancer? Dismask is a disgusting person, just writing his name makes me feel sick... It was Zilong who sent him back to the West. Purple Dragon +1
Leo? Seiya saw through Aiolia's fist. Seiya +1
Virgo? Ikki, who had his six senses removed, bravely perished with Shaka. Of course, Shaka used Mu Zhi's power to save himself and Ikki, which is a later story. Ikki + 1
Libra? The teacher was far away from the Wulao Peak, and he left the holy clothes to let Zilong rescue the glacier that was previously sealed in the ice coffin by Kamiao. But the person who broke out the warm glaciers of the microcosm and saved his life was Shun. Purple Dragon +0.5, Instant +0.5
Scorpio? The blood-red poisonous needle of the glacial enemy Milo, Milo is restored at the last moment. Glacier +1
Sagittarius? In the labyrinth, Zilong Glacier Shun and the three chose to sacrifice themselves to save everyone, and Seiya climbed the mountain again (for some reason, they kept climbing all kinds of mountains repeatedly, covered with scars, bloodstains, and trembling arms...). Zilong Glacier Shun Xingya +0.5
Capricornus? Zilong sacrificed himself to the enemy Shura, and resorted to the Wu Laofeng teacher's forbidden Lushan Kanglongba with the intention of both perishing. At the last moment, Shura gave his own golden holy clothes to save his life. Purple Dragon + 1
Aquarius? Kamui guides Glacier to understand the freezing air of absolute zero, and even allows him to learn his own ultimate move in the battle, and he falls in two phases (later Glacier was rescued by Athena). Glacier + 1
Pisces? Instantly resisted Abrodi and won the game. In fact, in the end, Shun can completely avoid Abrodi's white rose ultimate move, but who makes Shun always so kind... Seiya was injured by the red rose, but fortunately Mo Ling sacrificed himself to save him, and then rushed to the Pope's Hall . Shun +1, Seiya +0.5
Of course, the five of them are always saving themselves, saving each other, and being saved by Athena along the way. That's the power of a group. Oh, by the way, in front of the statue of Athena, they joined forces to defeat Saga. In fact, it seems that +0.5 for each of the five people
can't be calculated like this, because what kind of characters are Shaka and Saga, what kind of characters are Dismask and Abrodi... They are completely incomparable.

I think the most protagonist among the protagonists is undoubtedly Seiya. Although he only knows Pegasus Meteor Fist, he is like an immortal Pegasus. After being knocked down, he will always stand up again. The female saints love him, and Saori seems to be the closest to him. , He was the first to comprehend the seventh sense of the ultra-miniature universe, and his companions always love to sacrifice themselves to protect him and let him steal the best shot on the eve of the total victory.
But what makes people most embarrassed is Ikki, why is he always doing his part in the scene of the battle with the strongest? In the face of Shaka, who is closest to God, he dares to deliberately be deprived of his six senses, and then perish with it; in the face of the Pope, who is the incarnation of evil, he does not retreat at all, just giving Seiya time to stumble towards the golden shield. Is it the fate of Phoenix to be reborn from blood? I
can only say that this is really an inspirational cartoon.
