I lost count.

I really don't like this superficial argument that a story already been told so many times that is not necessary, when the classic manga always had changes in its numerous anime adaptations.

None of the adaptations are faithfull, KotZ cg changed Shun, KotZ live action is astroucious, Legend of Sanctuary is a rushed slop and the classic anime is a different entity, with fillers and changes in the story.

I'm not completely disregarding the good things we had in these adaptations, but it seems a lot of people here find it wrong to want a more in line with the manga adaptation for new audiences. Instead we have lots of changes that always flop.

Kurumada forgot or simply changed the color of his hair in his last appearances in ND. What do your guys prefer?

And the other thing is that he's the first saint to sell his loyalty to Hades. Sure, there were some instances of gold or silver saints working for Hades, but they always had a reason for their "betrayal", but Cardinale did it willingly.

I think his swift to protect Athena was rushed (like many other things in ND), definetly wanted to see more action from him.

I will always prefer the manga, the anime with more than one tonality of gold is weird. It's supposed to be made by gold, so it should be golden. But you have the likes of Deathmask with blue on his cloth. Also, Deathmask with the gray hair is much cooler. Shura's head piece is cool in both versions, but the one thing the anime did better is the Bruce Lee finger pose with him.

They overdid his feminine or more kind side to a sexualized androgenous man. Sure, Saint Seiya is know as the yaoi Bible for a reason, it definetly helped the franchise with a specific group of people.

But it's the same for his cloth, they put in some feminine traits that really differ from the manga counterpart. The same goes for Aphrodite, his "beauty" persona is overdone.

Humans that did godly feasts, like Hercules, in the story someone like Aiolos, who gave his life to save a god, etc.

That would act as a direct conflict against the bronze saints. These man who were in this heaven, having to deal with these guys trying to destroy their peaceful reward or just trying to maintain the rightouness of that world.

For example, I think Mu's gaiden would definitely be some history lesson by Shion, maybe about the creation of the cloths and similar interesting lore.

Something that I always wanted to see was Saga and Kanon life in Sanctuary, since Kanon couldn't reveal himself. That would be a interesting dynamic, did Shion trained both? Would make for a more heartbreak moment, when Saga killed him.

For Deathmask I think some mercenary type of stuff would make sense, since he said in Episode Zero that will do anything that benefits him.

You can say ideas that you'd wanted to see in the arc too.

Something that definetly needed to be included, was Bian's backstory, even if short. It's the first enemy Seiya faces off and the first general to go all out, his "philosophy" should've gone toe to toe with Seiya. Even though we get more about Poseidon's and his generals philosophy throughout the arc. He is the weakest character.

I would definetly make that they had to go city by city like they kinda did in the beginning, Nacht wouldn't be able to teleport them inside the castle because it had to exist a barrier protecting from spacial magic (isn't that a plot hole?)

Depending on how large Zenon's barrier was, they would've had to pass by at least one or two places with dark disciples, we could've explored a little bit of Spade land and how the people lived there with the dark triad as the rulers. Increasing the stakes in a micro level.

We really needed that emotional side from the Spade citizens, the resistance etc.

And the other thing that I wanted is for more doors to be opened. Like, only two? And Adramalech wasn't even a villain. The way the arc was set up, we got robed from the increase in despair with each horde from a stronger door being opened.

Can you imagine the epic Spade arc would've been?

Confirming the clock tower theory and thus, Lucius be rewinding time for the best outcome, as everyone was dying multiple times.

I know the guidebook said that Lucius couldn't do that, but if there's something to improve in the anime, this would be one of the best moments when revealed.

What constellation do you want your son to become?

He has the power to turn into someone's else most beloved person, but when done on himself, Kasa sees his reflection. Does that mean that his mimic hability being used to kill others by "love" (essentially) he never had or does not have a bond that makes him weak to this hability?

The only person he could count and had in his life was himself. It's surface level, but can we assume in that direction?

He can search even deep with his hability, he could be keeping deep down in his heart "love" but those memories only would've hurt him. Even tho the Phoenix Phantom should be able to completely penetrate someone's memory.

And don't say we don't need to see him, Tabata drew him saying the same things as her siblings, so it's relevant to see what his opinion is by the end of the story, after Noelle become so powerful.

But I'll say this, we can only assume he is a aristrocat in the royal capital and a non combatant. That's the only way to explain his absence from the story, because if he is a spy another country or place, definetly should've been said at some point.

In the end, just another loose end from Tabata for us.

This is not how you close a story or loose end, this is how you start a new one with inumerous questions.

These three are the most evil characters in BC. How can we assume they're nice or in the way of atonement now? There's nothing to say that! The chances of them starting to kill weak people again is the same as before.

How is Dante alive being only a head when Lucifero's mana was the reason for his immortality? Do the other two have the devils in them still or all of them got merged with the devils powers because of the coccoon? Hence why Dante is alive. But all of that is speculation, are we gonna get a answer?

Doing this is the under cover for the final volume is just another thing I don't like from Tabata's writing.

It's something that never gets totally clear in the manga, we have moments of healing but for example, we don't know if Mu just stopped Shiryu's bleeding or closed the wound.

And in Seiya's case, just like Shiryu cured his vision after elevating his cosmos, Seiya did the same but Aiolia's words give the impression he did some kinda of healing. Even the panel suggests that, but it's not clear. I can't remeber any other examples, based on these, they seem to have a limitation to heal others. But they can, and someone can cure himself of diseases if elevating the cosmos.

And obviously, I'm not taking in consideration the Crateris cloth, Athena's shield or Odysseus/Asclepius.

Tabata didn't gjve a F*ck about them since the beggining, this is how he presented these three instead of doing a mini arc in the manga with a Diamond focus, not everyone who was reading the manga did read the novel. Especially outside Japan.

It was a big discourse when these three appear out of nowhere and people didn't had the material to read about them. And I wasn't aware that Tabata said he wanted to put them in future developments... WHERE?!

I don't recall seeing them in a future arc. Where mister Tabata? He's a terrible writer!!
