Seiya = Pegasus

Saory Kido = Athena

Shaka = Virgo

Milo = Scorpion

and the list goes on and on lol

in the naruto universe, the value system is based moer on protecting your friends and fighting for what you believe in at all costs. simply fighting isnt enough, simply winning isnt enough, its all about how and why you fight. only naruto and orochimaru strive for immortality, but in two very different ways...Naruto wants his name recognized and (maybe) wants to die for the villiage to prove himself a worthy hokage...oro just wants to live forever and learn every jutsu...no one else has a death wish. Shinobe honor and warrior honor are vastly different so its not really fair to compare these two categories.

Granted, there is a different value system, but my post is based more off of a personal characteristic thing. What character's background/features/personalities have similar characteristics to another character. Ideologies play a part, but to compare one to the other is not necessary in this case (I believe so at least)

So the only comparison with Hera and Sakura is that they liked a guy? Why cant Sakura be my cousin? She likes a guy too.

Hera was a crazy selfish bitch who wanted to kill several family members...(of course the family members were the ones that came out of Zeus's many affairs while cheating on her....)

We might as well compare apples and bananas. it's the same logic. you start off with....well, they are fruit....

I can't see Naruto dragging Sasuke around a colosseum three times.
You don't see Achilles starting off as a loser who, through hard work, is coming closer and closer to being a leader.

Hector, if I vaguely remember the Iliad, doesn't have a brother that he desperately wants to kill.

Etc.

It's a forced comparison that doesn't really work very well.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade have a mythological background but its not tied to the Greeks. If I remember correctly, there's kind of a love triangle here.

Nope - Hephaestus, Ares, and Hebe were the children she had with Zeus

the only one I really agree with so far is the shika-odyssius pair. Appart from that I'd say:

Jyraia = Zeus - they're both perverts who love the ladies

Orochimaru = Aries - Thinks he's great untill he gets injured, then its whine, whine, whine

Naruto = Jason - A kid in search of glory, willing to take on the impossible, and not willing to give up

Lee = Hermes - quick, young, and Light on his feet

this one a stretch:
Kakashi = Heraclese - Strong warriors trying to make up for their past indiscretions (While under Hera's influence Heraclese kills his wife and children, and then he performs the twelve inpossible tasks to make up for that)

Yeah, Yeah I know... On cartoon Network every saturday night right? lol That dubbing and editing was so bad that Carton Network had to get rid of the show due to its huge unpopularity... If you want to watch the real thing go and download then in japanese with english subs. And I guarantee there is no way in hell that you would that the show is awful. People like your self are the clear proof of the crime that DiC did to the reputation of this master piece aclaimed throughtout the world except in the States thanks to what their heavy editing....

As a matter of fact, I dare you to go and download Saint Seiya Hades Ova off animesuki's series page and you'll see what I mean

And back on topic how can someone compare Naruto with greek mythology? that doesn't make any sense at all. There is no connection at all...

Anyways, here are the 12 avatars of the zoodiac signs on earth:

Aries = http://www.galeon.com/seya12/mudearie.htm

Taurus = http://www.galeon.com/seya12/aldebara.htm

Geminis = http://www.galeon.com/seya12/sagade.htm

Cancer = http://www.galeon.com/seya12/mascara.htm

Leo = http://www.galeon.com/seya12/aioriade.htm

Virgo = http://www.galeon.com/seya12/shakade.htm

Libra = http://www.galeon.com/seya12/dohkode.htm

Scorpion = http://www.galeon.com/seya12/milode.htm

Sagitarious = http://www.galeon.com/seya12/aiorosde.htm

Capricorn = http://www.galeon.com/seya12/shurade.htm

Acuarious = http://www.galeon.com/seya12/camusde.htm

Picis = http://www.galeon.com/seya12/afrodita.htm

And peace to all...

Its not that so much as it is the concept of the show...its just too "Power Rangers-ish" for me. Even the battle scenes in the dubbed version were meh. I admit that I haven't given it much of a chance, but the show just didn't appeal to me, and it wasnt the dubbing. Cheesy voice actors and bad translations don't scare me so easily Maybe if I watched a few more episodes...
