(CR) Saint Seiya Omega

[ShiroiRyu]

Oh man ...
Mars destroyed everything. XD

[houkoholic]

Spoiler:

Yeah I hope it's one of the 5 bronzes and not a new character, come on they have to throw in more references! Shiryu's out of the equation, not sure if Ikki is going to be a gold saint but even if he is he's not the type to mentor nicely, Seiya appearing now don't make much sense because it would destroy the whole mysterious legendary saint thing going on, that leaves either Shun or Hyoga. I'm leaning towards Hyoga, he's got enough of the tough on the surface but gentle inside quantity to be a good mentor, also makes more sense to have a combat harden saint and one that has a stronger bond with Seiya to show the new bronze saints the way of the seven sense.

Kiki is also doable, but I don't think he has enough pull to drive the story or make the meeting as memorable if the gold saint is one of the 5 bronzes of the previous generation.

It's hard to tell until the episode itself actually takes place, but given the context of how things looking to be developing, it feels to me that

Spoiler:

Aries Kiki would make a lot of sense as the person to appear.

I mean, the place Kouga & company are going is essentially The Final Dungeon, but they're severely underleveled and obviously not ready to challenge Ionia, much less Mars.

I expect the role of the Gold Saint is to obviously give them both the advice and direction (like for example... Siberia or Kanon Island?) needed to become strong enough to defeat Mars & save Fakethena, as well as deport them to safety.

If it was obvious enough, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Starlight Extinction.

OMG Starlight Extinction!!

I would love to see it in Omega .

Spoiler for Episode 9:

Haruto's ninja techniques are very jarring, and not even that useful (expect for the stealthy ones). He couldn't even take down a random Martian with them and had to resort to using his saint element, so I question whether there is even a point in him using all these different elements through ninjutsu.

It's a shame because the character himself is pretty cool (loved his joke about Yuna's mask). His cloth looks great too.

While Geki was very cool in this ep, his sacrifice was quite underwhelming. Maybe it would have made more of an emotional impact with better music. Disappointing.

Another Gold saint next week already! I'm leaning toward him being a new character. I hope it'll be a woman for once.

Spoiler:

Yeah, not to mention how it would be a nice callback to Mu's role back in the Sanctuary arc.

Another reason i'm expecting Kiki to show up is that i hope he's behind the new cloth system.

Spoiler for Ep 9:

I loved these last two episodes, show's definitely gotten on a hot streak since last week. Haruto is probably my favourite character right now, because honestly, I just find it hard to resist on such an amazingly cheesy intro. There's bad cheese, and then there's this... How do you dislike a guy that goes HOWL, MY COSMO and uses a bunch of ninja techniques, which he makes sure to describe as being all sorts of awesome since it gives him access to other elements? Geez! And to seal the deal off -- he also seems to have good taste in women. Basically, a ton of fun to watch.

As for Geki, he was pretty cool this episode, bunch of nice moments like when he kneeled down simply to charge against the random Martian. The sacrifice certainly didn't hit all that hard, but then again, I don't usually get hit too hard by shows like this. It felt like a badass way to go, and at least on that front I think Geki certainly fit the bill.

Anyhow, next episode is Umakoshi and Rie Matsumoto together, so chances are it'll also look a lot better than usual. I'm of the opinion that the Gold Saint will be Kiki, as well, but any of the old ones would make me pleased all the same. I don't know how I'd feel about a new character, though...

Overall, great episode.

Spoiler for ep 9:

Haruto is the best, a ninja saint is so awesome. Lol only 5 saints made it out alive. Geki was so gar. No Mars blew up the sanctuary! Off to save the fake athena. Ooh and another gold saint next week, wonder who it is. I doubt it'll be Seiya though.

[Diveman]

Spoiler for EP9:

Im pretty sure its Seiya, I mean, they showed him fighting didnt they? unless its was a troll preview

[Kanon]

^Most of the footage in the preview is from previous episodes. Seiya's scene is taken from episode one.

Some users on 2ch are claiming that, according to new magazines, the other Gold Saint who's gonna show up in the next episode is...

Spoiler:

...a new character wearing the Leo cloth.

Spoiler:

If true, that pleases me since that means Ikki kept his Phenix cloth. I don't care much for Leo saints in general though.

[ShiroiRyu]

And ...

Spoiler for 10:

I confirm ... Leo Cloth !
With a "badass" guy who look like our Capricorn one.
And the preview : Masked martian girl. *_*

[Goty]

Another piece of news, Shoko Nakagawa posted on her blog that she'll be back voicing Saori in episode 13.

[Albafica]

Badass, badass, I didn't want to say badass when I saw him ...

Episode 10:

Spoiler:

If they all look like Iona/Leo, I would be really disappointed. When I saw Saint Seiya: Mu looks badass in Hades Sanctuary, Camus looks badass, Shaka looks badass, Saga looks badass, Milo is badass, Aiolia, is badass, Deathmask or Aphrodite looks more badass than these Gold Saints in Omega. They had a classy look; and that's why so much people liked them.


Just want to say: ok... nothing more. Not cool, not badass but just ok for me...

Wow... Just disappointed by the design of Omega. Ennemies looks always ugly. In Saint Seiya, we had some charismatic/cool ennemies.

The next episode with miss martian seems ok. It seems that they do good job about female character (well for me, Yuna is not so interesting for now). Because it looks like a magical girl show? If female are cool, but not mens, it's not going to be interesting only because we have "cool" females characters. Except for guys who wanted to see so much a girl roxing asses... that they neglect others elements...

It looks like I will not like omega....


I miss these guys...

[farios]

I'll just go ahead and say it

Spoiler for episode 10:

Kouga is Seiya (or Seiya is inside Kouga), considering that Kouga disappears when Seiya appears.

[Albafica]

WTF

Spoiler:

Koga is Seiya?

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

It looks like Omega decide to change the Gold Saints appearance from young bishounens to mature action hero (ala Arnie, Stallone & JCVD).

Well, it's okay for me (so far). You're gonna get diabetes if you watch bishies all the time anyway.

[farios]

Looking at the next episode story preview in tv asahi official site, it seems that the woman martian Sonia is

Spoiler for spoiler:

Mars daughter

[Albafica]

Episode 10 is really cool, it's one of my best episode. Umakoshi did a really good job, too bad he didn't do the whole serie. Because he gaves the identity of Omega.

Spoiler:

The episode was ok, but last minutes of it was really intense; especially with the arrival of SEIYA! What a cool man!



I'm not a fan of the Leo Gold Saint! I want cool Gold Saints, like Seiya is. Not like Iona or Mykene.

The moment when Koga faces Mars was pretty intense. The music was so right at this moment.

Next episode: female martians and Silver saint (they still looks ugly...)

I hope that we will see some cool ennemies, because they always looks ugly.
