Saint Seiya Abridged

An abridged series of Saint Seiya. But in French, therefore using the french name of the show: Les Chevaliers du Zodiaque (knights of the zodiac), La Série Abrégée. It is also the first French abridged series, and does a pretty good job at that, on top of everything being done by only one guy. Coincidentally, the author had a few cross-overs with Joueur Du Grenier, who is pretty much a French Angry Video Game Nerd.

The series encompasses the Sanctuary saga, and spends one episode per house. All the jokes are based on Character Exaggeration, French wordplay and jabs towards the Macekre-esque French localization of the show.

Tropes Associated with Saint Seiya Abridged/Les Chevaliers Du Zodiaque, La Série Abrégée:
"Seiya: If you're so strong, tell me, who is the strongest between Lemmy and God? Shaka: Oh, the answer is simple. *prepares attack* Me."
 * A God Am I: Shaka of the Virgo:

"Ikki: Who are you anyway, some kind of Warrior Monk like in Tomb Raider 2? Shaka: No, just Buddha's reincarnation. Ikki: Wow, I don't know what you're taking, but it's good."
 * And later against Ikki:
 * Beat*

"Shiryu: Knight of the Cancer, you make me sick! Cancer Deathmask: Oh, I never heard that one before."
 * A Worldwide Punomenon: Ripe of it. They're all in French, so they're pretty hard to translate correctly, but one of the easiest is:

"Hyoga: Come on, we even brought a girl! Shun: Oh, it's more complicated than that, you know... Even when I was a kid, when I watched Candy Candy, I... Hyoga: Shun, I was talking about Saori. Shun: ...I'm blushing, aren't I?"
 * Badass Spaniard: Shura of the Capricorn.
 * Averted with Aldebaran of the Taurus, who has a Marseilles accent.
 * Big No: Twice in the first episode, with the same shot of Seiya running towards the screen in Slo Mo while crying. He also does the same thing when saying yes between the two no's.
 * Breaking the Fourth Wall: The characters often comments on the bad localization of the show, the non-canonicity of the OVAs, or the author of the Abridged Series being late.
 * Camp Gay: Shun. It was inevitable given his Rainbow Pimp Gear.

"Aldebaran: I know your pricings, it's going to cost me the right horn to repair the left one."
 * Character Exaggeration: As with every Abridged Series. Seiya is Good Is Dumb to the point of being Too Dumb to Live, Shiryu acts like The Ace but each and every one of his failures is emphasized by a "wha wha" music, Shun is Camp Gay etc.
 * Crooked Contractor: Mu of the Ram. Him repairing the Bronze Saint's cloths would've costed them all their arms if they didn't haul ass right away when hearing they had to pay. Even Aldebaran lampshades it.

"Mu: Hi, I am Mu, the Aries saint. And despite my char design, I am a man."
 * Dude Looks Like a Lady: Mu. But he has a gravelly voice and insists that he is a man right away. He lampshades it whith his first line :

"Seiya: Thank you, Mu, you're a good man. Mu: I'm especially a man."
 * And later:

"Shun: *as Hyoga is thrown in a parallel dimension by the Gemini Saint* No! Hyoga, if you're gone, we won't have any female viewers anymore! Not that it bothers me. BUT STILL!"
 * Estrogen Brigade Bait: Hyoga.

"*Finds himself on the opposite side of a Bottomless Pit separating him from the rest of the team* Shiryu: I have the feeling it's going to be like this for the entire episode."
 * Epic Fail: As a Running Gag from Shiryu, and often emphasized with "wha wha" horns.
 * wha wha horn*

"Shiryu: Now that I have broken your left arm, you cannot use your attack anymore! Shiryu: ... Unless you use your right arm. Fuck."
 * Against Shura of the Capricorn:
 * Shura rises his other arm*
 * Record Needle Scratch*

"Hyoga : I'm not the same as I once used to be... earlier this afternoon."
 * Extremely Short Timespan : Hyoga vs. Camus of the Aquarius, second round.

"Shiryu: *while Seiya tries to call the Sagittarius cloth, thinking it will allow him to wear it while it's really pointing its arrow at him* No, Seiya, the OVAs are non-canon! Hyoga and his speech about hope and friendship, lampshaded by Shiryu and Seiya as "the most terrifying attack of the Shounen Manga Hero""
 * Genre Savvy: Shiryu.

"Shaka: Do I at least have something to say about this? No, becau-
 * Killed Mid-Sentence: Shaka when Ikki is about to use his self-destruct move on him.
 * atomic explosion*"

"Milo: I'm not Tristan of the BEE HIVE, I'm Milo of the Scorpion! Seiya: The German band?
 * Leeroy Jenkins: Invoked against Shaka of the Virgo. Shiryu and Shun try to just go around him silently while he's meditating, but Seiya just jumps him without a second thought while screaming the trope.
 * My Name Is Not Durwood: Milo of the Scorpio in his episode's Cold Open. Seiya confuses him with "Tristan (Satomi), of the BEE HIVE".
 * Milo uses Scarlet Needle*
 * Opening credits*"

"Shiryû: I Uh... This image is taken out of context!"
 * Not What It Looks Like: Shiryû, when a picture of him sleeping next to Kiki pops up at the end of the first episode.

"Milo: Yes, I let you live so you can face thousands of horrors, endure a thousand of pains, see your loved ones die in front of you one by one and finally, die a horrible and painful death. Isn't it... Exciting? Hyoga: ...Sadist. Milo (with an amused voice): *chuckle* Yeah, I know."
 * One-Scene Wonder: Ikki only had one real scene for himself so far, and he was hysterical. Shaka helped too.
 * Only Sane Man: Hyoga and Shiryû have shades of it. Shades.
 * Soft-Spoken Sadist: Milo.
 * Beat*

"Shaka : Let's open the Transmogri... Transmag... Oh, screw it, the Six Realms !"
 * Shout-Out: To Tomb Raider, Naruto, One Piece, Aishite Night, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and many, many more...
 * Spell My Name with an "S": Seiya is called "Seiyar" like in the French dub of the series. The original dubbers probably felt a name ending in "a" was too girly.

"Shun: Don't do that, Ikki, you're gonna blow up! Shaka: Yeah, don't do that, Ikki, you're gonna blow up! Ikki: That's the purpose! Shaka: Oh, okay then. WHAT?!"
 * Taking You with Me: Ikki does that to Shaka:

"Camus: When you have to fight, fight, don't talk."
 * Talk to the Fist : Camus to Hyoga, in his house, closing an Ennio Morricone montage.
