I just finished reading the entire manga...wow. To answer your response son_michael: i had no idea that's what deaths of the gold saints signified. I'm still unclear as to how all their deaths could have attributed to taking down the final wall. I couldn't tell in the manga if the actual gold saints were revived or only their spirit.
Yea it's really crazy how the plot got twisted together in the end.
I'm really curious as to see what type of plot the heaven saga might be. I do hope they write that chapter. The heaven saga ova was just ridiculous...ly good.
yea the gold saints were incredible, I believe it was there souls that appeared there,and the gold cloth gave the soul a kind of substance..it WAS all the dead gold saints cosmos because kannon said he felt his brothers cosmos, so I believe the gold cloths called there souls there, held there souls there and briefly gave the gold saints enough life to channel all there cosmos into aiorious
wasnt it amazing to see Douko give out libra's weapons?
another thing that blew me away is seiya being the reincarnation of the pegasus saint,I wonder if hades inferno will mention that, also the divine cloth is cloth that comes form mount olympus and is only worn by gods...crazy crap happens in the hades manga
my guess is that the manga is past the heavenly overture ova and the saints are probably fighting demi gods on mount olympus, I seriously doubt they would fight zeus, there's probably gonna be a plan to overthrow zeus from power and Athena and her saint will save him and thats probably how the series will end
I'm dying to know what happened between seiya and apolo though... I can only hope they animate stuff after the hades saga
another thing..in hevenly overture ova the gold saints are imprisoned forever by the gods...im expecting there seal to be broken in the future, it would be amazing to see saint seiya end with Athena sitting in sanctuary and all 12 gold saints standing with her and the 5 bronze saints as well with divine cloth, dont you agree?
i thought volumn 28 was the last one drawn. i had/have no idea if the manga is being continued. the heaven saga started with the dvd a year, year and a half ago? not sure.
when did the gold saints get improsoned by the gods? did i miss that in these volumes? yea the manga only said one time that seiya was a reincarnation - i wonder if the ova will explain more.
what's scary is that there are still like 20 episodes left. they've barely begun scratching hades chapter with the previous 13+inferno 6. it's taken them 3-4 years thus far, i wonder how many more years before this finishes.
maybe in between they'll release heaven saga, that would be pretty cool.
I assume that the hevenly overture movie was made in the manga first so im assuming that the manga went beyond the movie
re watch the heavenly overture movie, you will see the gods talking to the souls of the gold saints, they say they will imprison the gold saints for all eternity for defying the gods{its like punishment for fighting poseidon and hades but since Athena is a god her punishment is just to be re educated by the other gods and give up her territory, otherwise she must be killed}
I expect inferno to end within a year and hopefully the ratings will make it a success in japan and they will finish the series,.
inferno end within a year? I was and am still under the impression that only 6 episodes are being drawn. Just like how hades was 13 eps, this one's only 6? Maybe I'm mistaken - hopefully I'm mistaken.
If it does finish then it will be awesome! I wonder where the conculsion will be? Before they reach the heavenly dimension i hope.
it seems were gonna get our wish! because new eps are coming out and they will most likely end after the gold saints destroy the wailing wall!{6 eps I think}
I think those Hades manga stories are the greatest! Although I would have liked to see more of Canon and Dohku (what was Dohku doing anyway, before arriving at the wall?)... I like the new OVAs of the Hades story too (but did I see a flashback scene where Camus is teaching Hyouga, seemingly ignoring that in the Anime, Hyouga's teacher was supposed to be the Crystal Saint, not Camus...?)
I didn't like the Heaven movie that much (which has no manga base, btw)... Those "Angels" never utter the names of the technique that they use (that's like, against the laws of manga!); the way Seiya walks is soooo pathetic (I understand that he's badly hurt from the previous battle and cursed by Hades, but I mean, c'mon!), and the naked Seiya scene towards the end was way too much ><... Btw, how come the other 4 saints have lost their divine cloths? In the manga, they're certainly wearing them when they go home... And for some reason, it's a sin for Athena to send her Saints to slay gods (the only ones slain by them were Hypnos and Thanatos, btw, since Athena is the one who actually killed Hades), but not for other gods to have Athena attacked (Poseidon and Hades certainly tried to kill Athena)?
That being said, I can't wait for the sequel (it was meant to be a trilogy, right?) to come out... I suppose the plot is that Seiya and the others regain their memory, face Apollo again (and they will hopefully all fight with Cloths on, instead of being naked again, I hope!), etc?
On a different note, has anyone been able to obtain a scanslation of the new short manga chapters that Kuromada has recently been publishing (since August in Japan, I think?), which is supposed to pick up from the Hades scenes? (and which apparently contradicts the storyline of the parallel new manga series about Pegasus Tenma and Athena's previous war against Hades in the 18th century)
I actually liked a funny idea that I came across in a fan's internet site, for "volume 29" of the manga: with all gold saints dead and the 5 bronze saints badly hurt (Seiya possibly dead), the only ones left to protect Sactuary are the two remaining silver saints (Marin and Shaina) plus couple of bronze saints (the other 5 of the 100 kids, plus that whipping Camaleon girl who has a thing for Shun)! That fan went on to draw the cover illustration for volume 29... It cracked me up:
