However, Shion decided that Aiolos would be the next Pope. This was to such an extent that his peer and opposition for the Pope's successor, Sagittarius Aiolos, admitted benevolence, wisdom, bravery and power of Saga exceeded him and he wished for Saga to be the Pope. He is one of the first Gold Saints of his generation (without considering Libra Dohko and Aries Shion), always a wonderful, kind, and generous person. (This is seen more in the manga section 7). When he becomes patriarch, he is considered near godly. The spirit then merged with Saga and would later manifest as his split personality.īefore the Sanctuary Arc, Saga was one of the most beloved men of Greece, in fact, a favorite of the Pope after Aiolos. Shion ignored this despite Dohko's insistence to kill the infantile spirit. Along with them, however, an evil spirit associated with the Specters known as Lemure that had been sent by the Goddess Ker. Saga's two "sides" can also communicate between themselves in a dialogue the good Saga reproaches his evil "side" to have forced him to hurt Athena.Īs detailed in the prequel Saint Seiya: Origins, Saga was teleported to Sanctuary at birth along with his twin brother Kanon. When it takes control of Saga's body, his hair turns from blond to jet-black (the color schemes were altered for the anime, in which Saga's normally blue hair turned light grey). This ambivalence ended up creating a split personality: a good Saga that was extremely loyal to Athena, and an evil one that keeps control of the body most of the time and killed the previous Pope to steal his place. Saga is often described by other characters as someone with the kindness of an angel but with the darkness of a demon. Saga managed to treacherously put himself in control of the Sanctuary for many years after killing Pope Shion, the original Grand Pope of Sanctuary, by stealing his identity. In the anime adaptation, he was introduced in identical manner, in episode 1. In his first appearance, Saga presided the event in which Pegasus Seiya acquired the status of Saint. Saga disguised himself as the Pope and was the first Gold Saint that Masami Kurumada introduced in his manga along with Leo Aiolia, although their rank wasn't revealed until later volumes. 2.8 Saint Seiya (1986), chapter III: Hades.2.7 Legend of Crimson Youth and Warriors of the Final Holy Battle.2.6 Saint Seiya (1986), chapter II: Poseidon.2.3 Saint Seiya (1986), chapter I: the Sanctuary.
