When I was a kid, I had a very clear favorite knight in Saint Seiya. (the classic anime)
Back then, I mostly chose based on pure “this guy looks awesome” energy — cool armor, flashy attacks, charisma, etc.
But rewatching the series as an adult, I realized my favorite changed completely.
Now I pay more attention to things like personality, loyalty, sacrifice, backstory, or character development, and it really changed the way I see some of the knights.
So I’m curious:
Who was your favorite knight when you were young? Did that change as you got older?
It’s funny how growing up can completely change the characters we connect with.
(When I was a kid I only watched the Sanctuary arc on TV, my favorite was Ikki. I still think he's cool, but now I tend to prefer characters among the Gold Saints)
