Wow that is silly, what's the point of turning Subaru into a bronze now? Isn't that just admitting what every fan had thought of before - that Steel Saints are useless and was a bad idea introducing them in the first place?
This second season of Omega is a real mix bag - they keep wanting to please the old fans but they just do a really half ass job at it, sometimes it just seems like they are writing the plot while watching the ratings or something.

the story itself is just bad, super nerfed bronze, characterization somehow worse, crap crystal obsession cloth, overused trash character, no point useless steel, re-appearance of 5 old bronzie (come on, this is omega, kouga's story, dont just add 5 more character as a MAIN character... how can you toei produce enough episode, enough developtment, enough fight for all of these chara?) old bronzie as cameo is very good and enough like in mars arc. to just add this frontally into battlefield as old fans fanservice like this? meh u know why they use old pegasus design for subaru's cloth? because old cloth design is much better than those crystal obsession design

Well actually I think introducing the old 5 (okay 4, since Ikki is still missing) bronze saints makes sense, but their positioning is completely mishandled. Seiya's part is done somewhat better as the mentor Gold Saint, but they aren't doing this to the others which is just really weird. They keep hinting that it's going to happen for Shiryu/Hyoga to come back as Libra/Aquarius but they also delaying it (it was what like 4~5 episodes before that we see them at the gates!), I mean I think everyone has already guessed that the old guys will come back as Gold and fight the four kings, probably kill 3 of them too, leaving Minos for Kouga/Subaru etc, but right now there's just no tension in the story progression.
They could've easily borrowed from how the original Hades arc in handling this second part of Omega - make the 4 old bronze as Gold (like all the old fans would want to see) and going ahead and fight some really powerful enemies and acting all badass like the veteran they are, and mix a few of them with the new bronze saints etc to have some chemistry between old/new - Shiryu and Ryuho tag team trying to get to the castle together would be immensely interesting! How would Shiryu handle his duty as a saint vs his duty as a father for example. The cool Hyoga teaming with the hot-headed Souma (and then Souma finding out that Hyoga also has parent-complex lol), Shun teaming up with Eden would be great too with how much Eden resembles Ikki etc etc. But they just aren't doing anything meaningful right now and all the potential is wasted and we aren't left with many episodes left.

Plus, it was specifically said that many of the Steel Saints' goal/dream is to one day discover what their guardian constellation is and become a Saint. |

Subaru becoming a bronze? I honestly thought he would end up being the guy in the opening above the class 1 pall, especially with his strange cosmos as well as Shaina's and Eden's strange reaction to him. how many total episodes will the pallas arc have because they are dragging their feet with the legendary saints?

Cruel? Lost Canvas sent footsoldier in nothing but training gear against Hades himself, now that's cruel. Steel Saints at least are given some sort of protection and everything that have shown in Omega shows that joining the Steel Saints is strictly voluntary. Quote:
Everything points to the Pallasbelda arc ending in ep77, but the Pallas chapter as a whole would be longer than that. |

It's safe to assume this arc will run until March 2014. |
