Character Outline
While Ikki is officially recognized as a bronze saint, his base power easily places him well above most silver saints, and his reputation as a powerhouse is common knowledge among his peers and fellow bronze saints. Even as a child, Ikki was known as the toughest kid of the 100 orphans, and would often defend his delicate younger brother Shun from the other children. He could easily be recognized as the strongest bronze saint when it comes to raw power.
Ikki's personality is drastically different from his fellow bronze saints. He is almost the opposite of his younger brother -- Shun is calm, soft, caring and very emotional, whereas Ikki is harsh, cold, aggressive, and very much of a loner. Fellow saint Wolf Nachi once pointed out that it was very hard to believe Ikki and Shun were related due to the extreme difference in their personalities.
As noted by Kanon in the Poseidon arc and by Pandora in the Hades chapter, Ikki's cosmos is unique to him -- it is a cosmos full of hatred, anger, incredible aggression and power, but it was still guided by his deep love and loyalty for his younger brother, his friends and Athena. Although he dislikes working in groups, he comes to battle whenever Athena's saints need his help, and is often seen coming in the nick of time to save his younger brother and friends from certain death. This tactic has always been exploited to their advantage, since the enemies are caught by surprise upon meeting/fighting him. He is a noble, complex and mature character, who does not doubt whenever it's necessary to sacrifice his life for his friends.
Ikki is hinted many times to be the most powerful bronze saint as he often pitted against the strongest enemies. Like the myth of the Phoenix, his power increases every time he is killed and resurrected. In his battle with Virgo Shaka, Ikki was able to awaken his 7th sense, which placed him in the ranks of gold saints in terms of power and skill. He is also the only bronze saint confirmed to have awaken the 8th sense, as he demonstrated the ability to enter the Underworld without needing the aid of Athena's blood. As a saint, Ikki uses two techniques to dispose of his enemies; one deals physical damage, and the other destroys the mind of his foe.
His physical attack is Phoenix's Wings Rise (鳳翼天翔, Hōyokutenshō?), which gathers forces of wind and heat into a concentrated point, then unleashed as a single blow. This attack covers a wide range of distance and it is Ikki's signature move. It may also be used on multiple enemies at the same time. In the manga, the attack is performed strictly with his palms only; in the anime, it is revised to include his fists, although the Phoenix Saint has utilized the original form of the technique on several occasions.
His other attack is Phoenix Illusion Demonic Fist (鳳凰幻魔拳, Hōōgenmaken?), which is infamous for destroying the minds of its victims -- the technique is dealt from either a single fist or a finger. Concentrating his cosmo into a sharp laser beam attack infused with sharp heat that enables the move to literally destroy his opponent's mind. Once used, it sends various nightmare illusions directly created by the opponent's brain; he or she is trapped within an illusion that is almost indistinguishable from reality. It also considerably weakens ones's control of the cosmos and depth of perception to reality. Ikki's Phoenix Illusion Demonic Fist usually spells doom for the one in the receiving end -- unless he has an unusually powerful mind or cosmos, such as a gold saint.
In addition to weakening and trapping an enemy in a powerful illusion (followed by instant death) this attack also serves to dwelve deep into an enemy's mind - as was the case when this attack was used on Gemini Kanon during his reign in the Poseidon story arc and many other characters in the Asgard chapter.
In some battles, Ikki first uses the Phoenix Illusion Demon Fist to paralyze his rival, and then deals the Phoenix's Wings Rise to finish him off.
Constellation and the immortal Phoenix Cloth
The Phoenix Cloth represents the constellation of Phoenix, which is associated to the immortal bird that is reborn from its ashes, found in folkore and mythologies of diverse cultures.
Ikki is connected to his cloth and constellation in more ways than one. The Phoenix cloth has the uncanny ability to reform from atoms if pulverized -- an ability that not even gold cloths have. Ikki himself can never truly die for good; while he can be killed, the constellation of the Phoenix grants him the power of resurrection. It is implied in the series that Ikki also receives a boost in strength from every revival as sometimes the cloth evolves. Unlike every other cloths that require a massive amount of blood to repair, the Phoenix cloth can regenerate as many times as it is destroyed without the need of outside aid. But just as the other bronze cloths had, the phoenix cloth, too, would come to evolve its design with each regeneration. The Phoenix has changed form twice in the anime so far. Changes:
-Manga 1st change: When Shaka reforms it from dust after bringing Ikki back from an alternative plane.
-Anime 1st change: After the battle of the twelve temples, his Phoenix Cloth took a new form empowered by the blood of Virgo Shaka.
-2nd change in both: When Ikki reappears in Hell to battle Garuda Aiacos during the Hades arc.
-Manga 3rd change: When Ikki accidentally touched Athena's blood in the Elysion Fields, and along with Ikki's already heightened cosmos, prompted the cloth to evolve into the Phoenix God Cloth.
The Gold Cloth of Leo
Being born under the sign of Leo, Ikki is allowed a bit of power from that constellation. As a result, when the bronze saints are faced with a threat that requires the aid of a gold cloth, Ikki is given the option to don the Leo cloth. This is seen when the gold cloth assembled itself on him during the fight with Thanatos, the God of Death.
The Phoenix God Cloth
It has been shown in the next episode of the Hades saga that all remaining bronze saint will be getting their respective god cloths, including Phoenix Ikki. The new episode will be aired on August 2nd.

Character Outline
The Saint of Andromeda
Perhaps the most reluctant of the bronze saints, Shun is the official Bronze Saint of the Andromeda constellation. He is a merciful soul by nature, and a firm believer in solving problems without causing bloodshed. This creates a sharp contrast between himself and the rest of the Saints: Whereas they will not hesitate to battle when the situation demands it, Shun only allows himself to fight if it's an absolute necessity, or when his almost endless patience wears off. When any of these things happen, Shun becomes an extremely vicious fighter.
Shun comes off rather badly in the Movies and 'Asgard' arc. In almost every fight scene, he almost always loses, and needs his brother Ikki to rescue him (except against Mizar Zeta Syd, the one time Shun defeated a foe in either the Movies or 'Asgard' anime-only story).
However, in the 'Sanctuary', 'Poseidon' and 'Hades' storylines, Shun comes off as a good, if reluctant fighter. In 'Sanctuary', he manages to hold his own against Gemini Saga, and even manages to kill Pisces Aphrodite, both of them Gold Saints. In 'Poseidon', he acquits himself nicely, defeating Io, the Southern Pacific Mariner General of Scylla, and Sorrento, the Southern Atlantic Mariner General of Siren. In 'Hades', he manages to dispatch various opponents. As a result, he comes off looking much better in these arcs than in the Movies or 'Asgard'; though he may be reluctant to fight, he will when he has to, and is just as powerful or skilled as any of the other main Bronze Saints (Shiryu, Hyoga, etc.)
Power and abilities
To fight, Shun normally uses the Andromeda chain as he does not want to use his full power because he does not want to kill the opponents. During the Sanctuary Arc Shun awoke the 7th sense in his fights against the Gold Saints. His known techniques are:
-Nebula Chain:The Andromeda Saint's favorite technique which allows him to manipulate the chains of his cloth however he pleases. At the most basic, the "Nebula Chain" is a straight-forward attack where the chains rapidly slice and wrap themselves around the enemy. This attack can be improved by using the Thunder Wave of the chain.
-Rolling Defense: is a simple defensive technique that utilizes Shun's chains in one of two ways: he will either twirl the chains around himself to create a barrier, or set them on the ground to mimic a circular web -- this was later named the Circle Defense In web mode, the chains construct a distance between himself and the opponent, and will discharge energy volts or simply slash the enemy if they attempt to enter the field.
-Great Capture: a technique that twists the chains to paralyze, capture, or immobilize foes. Shun also uses other ways of capturing opponents with Boomerang Shoot, Spiral Duct, etc.
-Nebula Stream: is a defensive attack that links directly to Shun's cosmos. It entangles the foe with streams of the Andromeda cosmos in attempt to paralyze them. As Shun becomes more determined to use his true power, the stream will eventually transfigure into the "Nebula Storm" technique.
-Nebula Storm: By the time Shun has chosen to execute it his cloth and chains are abandoned (either voluntarily or destroyed by his opponent) to allow him full access to his cosmos. The attack is dispelled as a single burst from the summit of Shun's cosmos. Because of its destructive nature, Shun will only use it as a last resort.
Constellation and the Chains of Andromeda
The Andromeda Cloth represents the constellation Andromeda, which is associated to princess Andromeda, who was chained to be sacrificed to the monster Cetus, in Greek mythology. The chains from the Andromeda cloth are said to be the very same chains used to tied the mythological character in her legend. The chains are legendary for their durability as well as defensive nature, and have only been completely shattered few times. They are also renowned for their great length, as they can be extended far enough to reach light years away. When there's a really great evil, the chains can become charged with negative energy and release lightning shocks of at least 10.000 volts. This happens just once in the anime series, when Unicorn Jabu grabs them just before Ikki's reappearance in the Galactic Tournament, despite Shun's warnings; he refused to let go of the chains and received the electric backlash fully. Along with his comrades, Shun's bronze cloth has changed shape several times throughout the series. The manga and anime both parallel each other in terms of the Andromeda Cloth's evolution (although, it should be noted that the cloth received one extra repair in the anime; however, it did not change shape after it):
-When Gold Saint Virgo Shaka (Taurus Aldebaran in the anime) revived it using his own blood.
-When the former Pope Shion of the Aries Constellation rejuvenated it with Athena's fresh blood during the beginning of the Hades arc.
-When Shun summoned his cosmos to protect his older brother Ikki from a would-be-fatal blow by Hypnos, the God of Sleep.
The Gold Cloth of Virgo
As Shun was born under the astrological constellation of Virgo, he has the privilege of donning the gold cloth in times of crisis. This was shown when he and his fellow bronze saints (also wearing gold cloths each) battled the God of Death, Thanatos.

Cygnus Hyoga
Profile
Gender : Male
Date of birth : January 23
Nationality : Russia
Class : Athena Cygnus Bronze Saint
Training : East Siberia
Height : 1.73 m
Weight : 60 kg
Blood type : O
One of the main characters in the series, Hyoga appears calm, collected, and unemotional. Beneath the surface, however, he is passionate and devoted to his ideals. As a Saint born under the Cygnus constellation, Hyoga is able to control and manipulate ice and snow as he pleases, as he mastered the basis of the technique of the Saints of ice, stop the atoms of matter by the power of their Cosmo.
Power and abilities
By increasing his cosmos, Hyoga can freeze objects and people. In his fight against Aquarius Camus, Hyoga awoke the 7th sense and used absolute zero air, being able even to freeze the Gold Cloths. In the Hades Arc, Hyoga was able to use a variation of the Freezing Coffin of his teacher but it was not named.
The Cygnus Saint's favorite technique is Diamond Dust (ダイヤモンドダスト, daiyamondo dasuto?) which is a windy attack that blasts ice and snow at the opponent in a single, concentrated point. Hyoga has used this technique for other purposes, like creating a mirror that reflects certain attacks or performing this attack in the legs of the opponent.
Before learning Aurora Execution his most powerful technique is Kholodnyi Smerch (ホーロドニースメルチ, Hōrodonī sumeruchi?, Cyrillic: холодный смерч, meaning "ice tornado"; renamed "Aurora Thunder Attack" in the anime). It is the a technique that captures his Cosmo into a single tornado, of which is unleashed via an uppercut. It is a move that, is in essence, a more powerful variation of "Diamond Dust." The "Aurora Thunder Attack" clasps both of Hyoga's hands together as he expels snow and ice at the opponent.
Hyoga learns Aurora Execution (オーロラエクスキューション, ōrora ekusukūshon?) directly from battling his master, Gold Saint Camus of the Aquarius. "Aurora Execution" is a gold saint level technique that enables the user to have control over absolute zero, a point where everything becomes frozen. "Aurora Execution" is similar to "Aurora Thunder Attack" in execution.
A technique that is not used for a particular objective is Kolitso (カリツォー, karitsō?, Russian for "ring") in which he creates an ice ring that surrounds and paralyzes the opponent.
The Bronze Cloth of Cygnus constantly evolves to expand its durability and power. In both the manga and the anime, it changes shape a total of three times:
-When it is revived with the blood of Gold Saint Milo of the Scorpio Constellation.
-When the fresh blood of Athena recreates an otherwise unrepairable cloth.
-When Hyoga is able to heighten his cosmos to evolve the shattered Cygnus Cloth to God Cloth level in the fight against Hypnos, the God of Sleep.
After the war against Sanctuary had passed, Hyoga obtained the privilege to wear his master's Aquarius Gold Cloth during times of extreme crisis. He, along with Pegasus Seiya and Dragon Shiryu, don gold cloths in the final confrontation against Poseidon. Later in the Hades arc, Hyoga is given the gold cloth to borrow once more when the five bronze saints battle Thanatos, the God of Death.

Pegasus Seiya
Profile
Name : Saint Seiya
Age : 13
Date of birth : December 1
Nationality : Japan
Class : Athena Pegasus Bronze Saint
Known relatives : Mitsumasa Kido (father, deceased)Seika (sister)Orphaned Bronze Saints (half brothers)
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.

Dragon Shiryu
Profile
Name :Saint Shiryu
Age : 14
Date of birth : October 4
Nationality : Japan
Class : Athena Draco (Dragon) Bronze Saint
Training : China (Lushan)
Character Outline
The Saint of Dragon
Out of all five main characters, Shiryu is known as the calmest and most collected . His sheer physical strength is the greatest of the bronze saints, with perhaps the exception of Phoenix Ikki. This is reflected in his ability to have won numerous battles without his Dragon cloth. Shiryu trained at the Five Old Peaks in China to obtain the bronze cloth of the Dragon constellation, and his mentor was none other than senior gold saint, Libra Dohko.
Shiryu sports a large tattoo-like image of a green and white dragon on his back (however it is said in the manga and the anime that it is not a tattoo but is connected to his guardian dragon star and only appears as his cosmo is rising). Whenever his life is in danger, the tattoo-like image begins to fade away -- once it completely vanishes, it is a sign that Shiryu's cosmos is nearing zero -- as in death.
Power and abilities
During his training in Rozan, Shiryu awoke his cosmos and learned many techniques from Libra Dohko. He also has a good ability in many fighting styles like Kenjutsu and Taijutsu. During the Sanctuary Arc, Shiryu awake the 7th sense in his fight against Cancer Deathmask and later he awoke the 8th sense during the Hades Arc.
His signature technique is Rozan Rising Dragon Force (廬山昇龍覇, Rozanshōryūha?). It is a blow that usually knocks the opponent soaring into the air as an image of a dragon devours him. The power of the Rozan Rising Dragon Force can vary from capable to explosively powerful, depending on Shiryu's cosmos level at the time of execution. Unlike the favorite techniques of the other bronze saints, however, Shiryu's Rozan Rising Dragon Force does have one weakness -- while performing the move, his heart will be left open for a millisecond. Only three people in the series have noted this: his master, Libra Dohko, Bronze Saint Pegasus Seiya and Gold Saint Capricorn Shura.
Other minor attacks that seem to be his weakest ones are Rozan Dragon Flight (廬山龍飛翔, Rozanryūhishō?), a straight-to-the-point, jumping attack where Shiryu charges through his opponents with a single fist and Dragon's Kick (ドラゴンの蹴り, Doragon no Keri?), that Shiryu has, to date, used only once, against Cancer Deathmask, in vol. 8 of the manga, and therefore, in episode 39 of the anime adaptation. Shiryu leapt high into the air and dived toward his opponent with a sharp kick to the head. Also, although he has only used it once to date, among his defensive techniques, Shiryu knows the fabled Catch of a real sword's blade (真剣白刃取り, Shinken Shiraha Dori?); the traditional technique used in Japanese Kenjutsu to repel an opponent's sword when unarmed, Shiryu used it to stop Capricorn Shura's attacks as his fists and legs were similar to a razor-sharp blade.
During the Hades Arc Shiryu learns the Rozan One Hundred Dragons Force (廬山百龍覇, Rozanhyakuryūha?). Shiryu learned the it from watching his master's battle (although being blind in that moment). It is a technique that appears to be a 100x of the Rozan Rising Dragon Force or the Rozan Dragon Flight -- Shiryu's cosmos erupts at its maximum, and he ploughs through the enemy with both arms and palms extended. 100 dragons march in the sky as the enemies are destroyed by this energy-based offensive attack.
The final move that Shiryu uses when all else fails is Rozan Ultimate Dragon Force (廬山亢龍覇, Rozankōryūha?). It is a kamikaze technique similar to Seiya's "Pegasus Rolling Crush," except while Seiya normally intends to send both himself and his opponent back to the ground, Shiryu will continue to soar into the air and eventually into space -- killing both himself and his enemy. The Rozan Ultimate Dragon Force is something that Dohko had strongly discouraged Shiryu from using, even going as far as putting a ban on its use.
After defeating Capricorn Shura, Shiryu is entrusted with the gold saint's legendary technique Excalibur (聖剣, ekusukaribā?). It is not a physical sword, but a deadly cosmos precision focused on Shiryu's right arm. Although Shiryu's version of the sword was not as defined as Shura's (Shiryu's Excalibur lies only in his right arm, while Shura's can be unleashed from any point of his body), the Dragon later refined it enough to rival Shura's and used it to cut the unbreakable golden spear of Chrysaor Krishina of Mariner General during the Poseidon Chapter.
Constellation and cloth
The Bronze Cloth of Dragon is legendary for its large shield on the left arm guard. Its reputation is unmatched by any other cloth among Athena's saints, and only very few have ever shattered it. The Dragon Cloth itself is noted for its ultimate durability, as it had spent the last 200 years bathed under the mineral-rich waterfall of the Rozan mountains, which made it harder than diamonds, and that's the origin of the nickname "The strongest Fist and Shield". Seiya manages to destroy the Shield by tricking Shiryu into hitting his own shield. Shiryu's cloth has suffered various damages throughout the series, and, of course, required repairing. With each revision its shape gained a new form. In the anime, along with the same repairs from the manga, the cloth went through three different designs. Changes:
Due to having reformed from using a gold saint's blood, the third version of the Dragon cloth (second in the anime) can suddenly become golden with power whenever Shiryu uses his cosmos to the maximum. At that point, Shiryu has awoken his 7th sense, and is as powerful as a gold saint (however, in the battle with Chrysaor Krishna, he comments that even with the golden Dragon cloth, Shiryu's power level is still that of a Bronze Saint, and continues to overpower Shiryu with his attacks).
The Dragon Cloth represents the constellation Draco, which is associated to Ladon, the hundred eyed dragon who guarded the golden apples of the Hesperides, in Greek mythology.
During times of extreme stress, the main five bronze saints will be allowed to wear gold cloths for a temporary amount of time. In the Sanctuary arc, Shiryu showcased the 12 weapons of the Libra Gold Cloth when he, Seiya, and Shun needed help in freeing Hyoga from the Aquarius Saint's ice coffin. This was the first time Shiryu tested the Libra Cloth, but certainly not the last. In the respective battles against Poseidon, Lord of the Seas, and Thanatos, God of Death, Shiryu is given the Libra Cloth to aid his friends.
