1. The Mystery of the Pope's Ascension to the Throne
The plot of this KB is very cleverly hidden, and it is hardly easy to see through. That happened at the end of the last holy war with Hades, and there were only two saints left, that is, Shion of Aries and Tonghu of Libra. Later, Athena sent Tong Hu to the Wulao Peak of Lushan Mountain in China to guard the soul of Hades, and Shion became the Pope.
This is actually a very strange thing. Why did Athena want Shion to be the Pope and not Tong Hu to be the Pope? Is the job of guarding the soul of Hades really that important? It can be seen from the later plots that there is no one to guard the soul of the sea king. Why does the soul of the only Pluto have to send the only remaining golden saint to guard it? Furthermore, jihad is a certainty. That is, the jihad against Hades is determined by time, not by the caretaker. When the hour is up, no one will guard Pluto and he will not come out; when the hour comes, no matter how strong someone is to guard, Pluto will still come out. This proves that there are other purposes for sending Tonghu to guard Hades. Or to put it bluntly, sending Tong Hu to a place far away from the sanctuary is to spread Tong Hu away from the center of power. And the biggest beneficiary of this is none other than Shion.
In that holy war, the author lightly stated that the other eighty-six holy warriors were killed, so only those two remained. But were those 86 people really killed in battle? We know that in the next holy war, that is, the one that Seiya and others participated in, the number of specific holy warriors who participated in the battle was pitiful, no more than twenty at most. But there were at least five surviving people. So how did the previous jihad kill so many people despite the superiority in numbers? It can be seen that the eighty-six people were not all killed in battle. Perhaps most of them died as a result of infighting. The reason for the infighting is simple: the struggle for power. Shi Ang and Tong Hu, who were able to survive later, were directing infighting behind the scenes, constantly cutting off dissidents and mutilating their colleagues in the name of war. But in the end, everyone else died, that is to say, both the forces supporting Shi Ang and the forces supporting Tong Hu perished, and both of them returned to their origins.
At this time, the only person who can decide the new pope is Athena. Although she usually commands the heroes in the name of a spiritual leader, at such a critical moment, she has become the most powerful person. On this question, Masami Chata did not reveal the real reason why Athena chose Shion. But it is conceivable that during this period, there must have been a very cruel political struggle, and Athena must have gone through a very painful period. Because of her choice, she worries about the future and destiny of the Sanctuary. But one thing is certain, Athena did not take back the power through this opportunity. Then it can be judged that Athena was not keen on power at that time, and would not have any threat to the Pope's power.
After Tong Hu was sent to a foreign post, or to put it more clearly, he was exiled. Since then, Shion has reorganized his forces in the Sanctuary in the name of the Pope. Since the forces that supported Tong Hu in the past have been "killed", it is impossible for anyone to form a new force in the imperial court to help Tong Hu make a comeback. The next two hundred years finally became Shion's world.
2. The Mystery of Saga's
Usurpation The story of Gemini Saga's usurpation is well known to everyone. He assassinated the Pope Shion that year, became the Pope himself, and exiled the Sagittarius Aoirus. But if you dig a little deeper, you'll find that if you kill Shion, you can easily become the Pope? Obviously, Masami Chata has brought a very KB plot here again. So let's review the political landscape in the imperial court at that time.
Shion is about the same age as Tong Hu. In other words, he also lived like a child tiger for more than two hundred years. Before his death, a new batch of saints had been replaced in the court. Moreover, Shion decided to set Gemini Saga and Sagittarius Aiou as candidates for the next pope. According to Masami Che Tian, the two of them were chosen because the other golden saints were young and lacked experience. However, these words were all said when Shion was in court, in other words, these words were scene words. In the end what is the reason, it will be clear in a breakdown.
Perhaps just as Shi Ang said, these two candidates are both older and more experienced, but only the older and more experienced result will accumulate a high reputation, and naturally they will be the center of the court. form two forces. Since the seat of the Pope can only be given to one person, the two forces must be in conflict or even incompatible. Shion's final decision seems to be the same as Athena's choice two hundred years ago, and it is also related to the future and destiny of the Sanctuary. A little carelessness can lead to the division of the imperial court and even internal strife.
Shion finally chose Aoirus. What is the real reason? Masami Chata didn't say anything. He only said that he saw Saga's evil thoughts, so he did not pass the throne to him. But Shi Ang thought about how he got rid of Tong Hu back then, which was even worse than Saga at that time, so Shi Ang has no right to say whether Saga has evil thoughts at all. So why exactly did Shion choose Aoirus? My personal guess is that Ai Russ might be more powerful in the court than Saga, so Shion was forced to nod to Ai Russ. On the contrary, I think Shion may have a deeper personal relationship with Saga, and maybe they are both in the same way.
But doesn't Saga know this? Why did he "rashly" kill Shion? Those people in the court are not fools, it should be easy to find out that Saga is the murderer of the usurper. So, it's not a problem they can't find out, but a problem they don't want to find out at all. First of all, Saga went to assassinate Shion, not just to kill him for personal grudges, but a political event, or even a coup d'etat. We can know from later stories that Dismask of Cancer and Abrodi of Pisces all knew about Saga's usurpation in advance. Therefore, in the incident of Saga's assassination of Shion at that time, the forces in the court that supported Saga could not escape these two people. That is to say, after Saga's usurpation of the throne, there must have been a considerable force in the court to support him. Strictly speaking, it was not that Saga assassinated Shion, but that the political group led by Saga launched a coup to overthrow Shion's rule.
However, relying on this force alone is not enough to control all power. As I said before, the real reason Shion chose Ayoros as his heir was that Ayoros had more political power than Saga's. Then, when the Saga usurpation incident occurred, the forces in the court that supported Aoirus would, in the name of "anyway", fight against the force represented by Saga until they won the Pope. Therefore, Saga came up with a poisonous plan, that is, to eradicate Aoirus in the shortest possible time. The best way to successfully achieve this goal without causing a big backlash in the court is to use the guise of the spiritual leader Athena.
Athena is just a spiritual leader, and she does not pose a threat to Saga's power, so why does Saga take the risk to assassinate her? There is only one reason that Saga is "the drunkard's intention is not the wine". Masami Cha Tian concealed this part again this time. When Saga killed Athena, he happened to be seen by his political enemy, Ai Russ. In this way, Ai Rusuo, who is accused of crimes, will inevitably lose the center of power in the imperial court, and the force he represents may collapse. I'm still suspicious here. Perhaps the person who assassinated Athena was not Saga at all. In this way, if Ayrus thwarted the assassination plan, then Saga may also kill and silence, framing Ayrus for instructing the person who pretended to be the Pope to kill Athena. As a person present, it is very difficult for Aoirus to escape responsibility, which is also extremely helpful to combat his political forces. It can be seen that there is a huge and KB political conspiracy behind such a simple assassination.
After Ai Ruo died, although the forces supporting him were severely damaged, it cannot be said that it has completely reached the point where Saga covers the sky with one hand. Mr. Mu of Aries is also a formidable enemy. Next, Saga will inevitably set off a "rectification" movement in the sanctuary with Dismask, Abrodi and others to completely eradicate dissidents. Among them, those who originally supported Aiorus will of course be hit, and there may be many innocent people who have been killed because of their different opinions. The most terrifying thing is that Saga got a more benevolent reputation in the next few years, so his activities to eradicate dissidents must have been carried out in secret, maybe he did not come forward, but sent it to Cancer Pisces. minions to dry. During this period, KB's unknown killings were indescribable. But what is certain is that Saga has stabilized his position and power in the future, and has truly become the Pope who controls the entire world.
3. Learning the Mystery of Martial Arts After
Ayrus handed Athena and the golden holy clothes into the hands of the Japanese, he died. A few years later, the old man Shiroto chose a group of orphans and sent them to the famous Saint Seiya to learn martial arts. On the surface, this was an action made by the old man Shiroto to find an heir for Aoirus, but in fact the huge KB secret behind it was covered up by Masami Chata.
This KB's political plan goes both ways. For the old man of Chengto, Aoirus entrusted Athena to him, in fact, he handed over a brilliant political pawn to the old man of Chengto. With years of research and understanding of Greek culture, the old man Chengto has long wanted to find an opportunity to intervene in the politics of the sanctuary. Maybe he himself is the political funder behind the forces that originally supported Aiou. After the death of the old man Joto, Saori Joto, also known as Athena, inherited his political goals, and began to approach the sanctuary in order to gain power.
For the old man of the city and Athena, the only way to truly intervene in the political system of the Sanctuary is to "control the barbarians with the barbarians". Because none of them are strong enough to fight against Saint Seiya, it is quite difficult to intervene from the outside. Therefore, we can only adopt the model of cultivating Saint Seiya and form a Saint Seiya Legion outside the sanctuary to gradually achieve the purpose of shaking the political system of the sanctuary. The golden cloak is just a bait, and Seiya and others are a bunch of reckless people willing to serve as their political tools.
But the cunning Masami Masami Chata concealed something about learning martial arts. That is, the people who teach Seiya and others martial arts are themselves saints, and most of them are saints scattered all over the world. In other words, these Saint Seiyas were actually those who were defeated in the political struggle in the sanctuary and were exiled like child tigers. Among these people, there are also many old-fashioned politicians. Although they were exiled, they still wanted to cultivate a force outside the sanctuary to make a comeback like the old man Shiroto. For example, Ah Shun's master received many disciples on Fairy Island. So later the Pope specially sent two eagle dogs, Cancer and Pisces, to get rid of him. It can be seen that these exiled Saint Seiyas are also quite powerful. They are also looking for disciples everywhere to gather strength. Their thoughts coincided with the old man of the city. Therefore, when these people are attacked by Saga, they are more likely to join forces with Mr. Mu, Tong Hu and Athena who share the same illness. In this way, Saga's activities of eradicating dissidents have instead prompted political opponents to come together and achieve their terrible political goals more quickly.
One simple and unremarkable incident after another, but contains the terrible political conspiracy of KB. This is what the classic anime Saint Seiya tells us. It seems that this author really can not be underestimated. Maybe he had a similar situation, I can't tell. This time I'll talk about it first, because I really don't want to go on, and the more I say it, the more terrifying it becomes. It seems that when children appreciate this classic anime in the future, they must watch it with an entertaining attitude under the guidance of adults.
