Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas/YMMV


 * Adaptation Displacement: Being an "official" doujinshi prequel of the original series.
 * Alas Poor Villain: Bennu Kagaho and Harpy Valentine.
 * The Lost Canvas version of Aiacos got the lucky break of getting this without dying. Last we saw of him, Kagaho let him live his remaining days in peace.
 * Also Behemoth Violate and Basilisk Sylphid.
 * Complete Monster: A fair few of them, although this troper thinks the worst one might be Garuda Aiacos... until he gets a second chance (ish) thanks to Bennu Kagaho. Before that, he was nasty.
 * Griffin Minos fits all requirements perfectly.
 * Creators Pet: Regulus.
 * Youma and Owl, considering how much bonus art they receive in the back of Volumes.
 * Rhadamanthys, for God's sake. His Plot Armor was thicker than in iceberg.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse : Bennu Kagaho. It helps that he's an expy of Phoenix Ikki.
 * The Gold Saints were this in the original series and one of the main reasons why they're the protagonists in the this series.
 * Growing the Beard: To many Lost Canvas fans, the series only got good starting from the Minos vs Albafica fight.
 * Moral Event Horizon: There is one, and Alone's crossed it... although he does think he's doing it to end all suffering.
 * Rescued From the Scrappy Heap: Pisces Albafica and Cancer Manigoldo seem to fall under this trope in Lost Canvas, compared to the original series. Pegasus Tenma might also fall under this as he's far more likeable than Seiya to some fans.
 * Leo Regulus,.
 * Squick: In this universe, it is revealed that . Ewww. Even if he atoned for it, Ewww.
 * Take That Scrappy: For all the allegations of Mephistopheles Youma being a bit of a Villain Sue, well... it just makes his eventual defeat at the hands of all the more satisfying.
 * Tear Jerker: This! Is! SAINT SEIYA!... after all. So the torrent of Manly Tears is pretty much a given.
 * One of the first is . In fact, it is hard not to sob throughout hell, all of them. It's all tragic. Damn series premise!
 * But the one that takes the cake is.
 * The Scrappy: Alone,
 * The Woobie: Crane Yuzuriha in the Lost Canvas Gaiden.
 * Gemini Defteros's backstory.
