Character attributes

Outline
Seiya is the main character of his namesake series, Saint Seiya. He is one of the eighty-eight saints of Athena, and serves loyally at her side. Seiya dons the bronze Cloth (an armor that denotes sainthood) of Pegasus, and draws Cosmo from the constellation that connects to it. During the start of the series, Seiya's main objective is to find his older sister Seika, who disappeared from Japan when Seiya is sent to train to become a saint. However, as the series continue Seiya eventually starts fighting alongside the other bronze saints to protect Athena. During his childhood in Greece, he meets Eagle Marin, a female silver saint who trains him to become a saint. Due to her similarity with Seika, Seiya starts thinking Marin is his sister but during his fight against Thanatos he discovers he was wrong and find his real sister. Seiya tends to be the most immature Saint, as he always jokes and he does not quite concern about consequences of his actions. He also has big respect to his partners, turning pretty furious if they are in danger.
Seiya is a decently capable fighter; he has the uncanny talent of understanding the mechanics of an opponent's technique after seeing it performed. In many of Seiya's fights, he begins receiving all the attacks but works hard to gain enough of an advantage to outclass his opponent by the end of the battle, such as trying to evade the attack of the opponent or looking a way to break his defense. Although Seiya is not necessarily the most powerful bronze saint, his determination and courage, along with the support of his friends and Athena, allows him to overcome many obstacles and adversaries.

Abilities
Although Seiya began his journey as a bronze saint -- the lowest of three ranks --, his abilities gradually grows to rival those of gold saints, the most powerful of Athena's soldiers, by awakening his 7th sense Cosmo. Before descending into the realm of Hades he also awakes his 8th sense Cosmo, allowing him to enter into the Underworld without dying. His most seen technique is the Pegasus Meteor Fist (ペガサス流星拳, Pegasasu ryūseiken?) which initially allows him to send a large number of punches in a second. Seiya can combine all his meteor in one fist called the Pegasus Comet Fist (ペガサス彗星拳, Pegasasu suiseiken?). His most powerful technique is Pegasus Rolling Crush (ペガサスローリングクラッシュ, Pegasasu Rōringu Kurasshu?) where he grabs hold of his opponent from the back, soar miles into the air, then suicide dive head-first into the ground.

Constellation and Cloth
The Pegasus Cloth represents the Pegasus constellation, which is associated to Pegasus, the divine winged horse from Greek mythology. Seiya, along with Cassios, defeated 9 other trainees in order to advance to the final round of a tournament in the Sanctuary. The last match pitts them against each other, with Seiya pulling the victory almost effortlessly due to his mastery of the cosmos.
The Pegasus bronze cloth is damaged various times throughout the series, with Aries Mu typically responsible for repairs. In the manga, the cloth changes shape each time it is fixed, with each revision evolving the cloth more detailed. In the anime, the original design of the cloth remains intact until the beginning of the series's second arc. When the gold saints uses their blood to revive the bronze cloths, the cloths gains a little bit of the gold Cloths' strength. Because of this, the second version of the Pegasus cloth (fourth version in the manga) can change from bronze to gold whenever Seiya charges his cosmos to the maximum. The cloth that Seiya uses in the Hades arc is able to use the wings parts to fly, normally and through dimensions. In his fight against Thanatos, the Pegasus cloth evolves into a God Cloth increasing the cosmos of Seiya drastically.
Eventually, Seiya becomes powerful enough to wear the Gold Cloth of Sagittarius, a cloth that had lost its true owner before the series begin. When Seiya has the gold cloth on, his cosmos is magnified, thanks to Sagittarius Aioros' cosmos expressed through the armor and his attacks can now defeat opponents previously too powerful for just a mere bronze saint. Nevertheless, while Seiya uses the Sagittarius gold cloth many times throughout the series to save Athena from certain peril, he is never officially granted ownership of the cloth. The owner is still the former saint, Aioros.
