Saint Seiya Omega/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • And the Fandom Rejoiced: The first televised Saint Seiya anime series since more than 20 years ago.
  • Broken Base: Where to Begin?
    • The change in art style and the spandex looking Armors.
    • The change of the Eagle cloth from silver to bronze.
    • Kurumada's univolment with the series.
    • Palaestra.
    • And top of all that, there's the new set of Elemental Powers rules that, depending on your opinon, either gives focus to the mythos or painfully limit the scope of the series.
  • Fan Nickname: Saint Seiya GT, both made by Toei Animation, with no input from their original creators, set many years after the original series' ending, not canon to the original universe and with polarizing fan reactions.
    • Saint Seiya GX, both spin-offs of a popular anime, focusing on a younger cast, introducing a controversial school that teaches each universe's concepts, and also with polarizing fan reactions.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: The Director's betrayal seems harsher if you remember Capricorn Saints are said to be the most loyals to Athena... Ups
    • Only in the anime. In the manga, no such thing is ever stated and Shura is a traitor being damn well aware of it and taking pleasure from having killed Aiolos.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Haruto's desing and personality seem to aim towards a certain quincy from a certain series wich coincidentially was inspired by Saint Seiya
  • Ruined FOREVER: The reaction of part of the fandom.
  • What Do You Mean It's Not Political?: One can't help but see Yuna as a character with strong feminist bent, with her defying the traditions for female saints to put mask. The same defiance can also be seen as a Take That against certain religions with similarly imposing decency law.
