The world of Saint Seiya is a high-martial world with clear ranks and obvious differences in strength. In this world, there are both strong and powerful people as the twelve golds, and there are also bronze weak people who can't be defeated by five miscellaneous soldiers. The positioning gap between the two is very clear.
However, there is one Saint Seiya class that is very embarrassing, that is, the Silver Saint Seiya who appears the most in the Saint Seiya and has the least actual effect.
Say that they are weak, after all, from the ranking is only inferior to the strongest 12 gold, it is considered to be the higher level of the Saint Seiya; it can be said that they are strong, let alone compared with 12 gold, even if they face the level of bronze five small strength, many silver saints are significantly inferior, plus the galactic war and the golden zodiac chapter in a chaotic fight, the silver saint fighters are dead and injured, there is no chance of performance in the final holy war.
So, were these twenty-four Silver Saint Fighters powerful or not? If we look at it objectively, who among them is really strong, and who is just a fish-eyed bead?
Below, we may wish to conduct a complete analysis of the Silver Saint Seiya to see how strong and ranked they are.
1 Who are the Silver Saint Seiyas?
In the Legend of Saint Seiya, there are 21 Silver Saint Seiya who appear, they are:
Special Silver 2: Lyra Olufi, Cyntopian Daedalus
Female Silver 2 people: Aquila Demon Ling, Ophiuchus Sarna
There are 12 characters in the manga: Mesti the Lizard, M. Moby dick, Adrian Therapiran, Babel Centauri, Kimian the Raven, Arugo, Aquapella, Copti, Inquisitus, Dudy, GiorgioSpira, Sergio Canis, Alujay, Acessific, and Drimi Aquila
There are 5 characters in the anime: Aleguni the Spider, Shiva the Peacock, Jacob the Lotus, Alex the Altarpiece, and Crystal Saint Seiya
In terms of numbers, the Silver Saint Seiya was the most popular saint in the Saint Seiya. After all, counting the previous generation, the gold was only 13 people, and even if Jenny was added, the Bronze Saint Seiya only appeared 11 people.
But if you talk about positioning, then the Silver Saint Seiya is very embarrassed.
First of all, with the exception of a few Silver Saints, the vast majority of Silver Saints were directly under the orders of pope Sagar at that time. As for the matter of killing Athena and destroying the Bronze Five, these Saint Seiya either knew it but still did it, or they were blindly loyal and only followed the rules.
For example, Schlieu the Great Inu, just received the pope's order to monitor and probe a golden saint. After discovering that something was wrong, he still followed the order to fight the Star Arrow in the golden robe, which eventually led to his own and the other two being defeated and killed.
Secondly, the Silver Saint Seiya's organization also seemed to be very scattered, although it was large enough. But they are fragmented.
First, the fivesome at the end of the Galactic War rushed up and took the lead in killing them; then the surveillance trio and the plundering yarn weaving trio also lost to the five small strongmen, and the Saga apprentices who appeared in the anime also acted alone, plus the late Aquila and Lyra who went to the underworld, as well as the Immortal Throne who was alone on one side.
Although there are many Silver Saint Fighters, and there are many strong ones, it is not difficult to explain why it is only the Bronze Five Small Strong force that most of the Silver Saint Fighters have been defeated.
Finally, the strength gap between the Silver Saints is also very surprising: powerful, you can single out the gold without falling down; the weak, even the Bronze Saint Fighter can't take a punch; the burly Saint Fighter is silver, and the most magical Saint Fighter is also silver; whether the Silver Saint Fighter is strong or weak, it is impossible to tell from the surface alone.
So next, we will divide the Silver Saint Seiya into three grades, looking at the problem of strength and weakness.
2 How big is the strength gap between the Silver Saint Seiya?
According to the division of strength, the Silver Saint Seiya can have three major grades: comparable to gold level, silver strong level and inferior bronze level.
Comparable to Gold:
There are only two Silver Saints of this level - Lyra Olufi and Ace Dedarus.
Another mysterious Silver Saint Seiya, Daidalos, who does not appear in the comics, is even more powerful.
As a party prince, Daedalus was obviously disobedient to the pope's administration, and even stronger people such as Shaga, Mr. Mu and others would not blatantly oppose the pope. But Daedalus was the only Saint Seiya who dared to make this clear. Without a strong enough strength, it is obviously impossible to do this.
Moreover, in the battle with the Golden Saint Fighter who came to fight, Daedalus also truly demonstrated the strength of the Golden Saint Fighter.
After a bitter battle with Miro, Daedalus showed no signs of defeat. In the end, it was another golden saint, Abrodi, who injured Daedalus with the magic palace rose, before giving Miro a chance to defeat him.
So it is not an exaggeration to say that Daedalus has the strength of intermediate gold. If you want to give the Silver Saint Seiya a strength ranking, the first place for Daedalus must be deserved, and Olufi can only take the second place.
Of course, as for why it is called Daedalus in the manga and Alubione in the anime, this reason is probably really difficult to find.
Silver Strong:
Most of the Silver Saint Fighters are of this level, but if carefully divided, they can be divided into two grades: the strong who can win the five small strong, and the strong who are not as strong as the five small strong, but stronger than the five small weak.
Those who can enter the previous grade include: Aquila Magic Ling, Lizard Sign Mesti, Perseus Arugor, Spider Aleguni
These silver saints have the common characteristics of being very strong. Although it is unlikely to single out gold, it can be done to gain the upper hand when facing the bronze five small strengths.
As the master of Star Arrow, Mo Ling can compete with 3 ordinary silver with 1 to 3, and her strength is naturally unquestionably strong. And Mesti the Lizard constellation is the most difficult silver saint that Hoshiya has encountered, and if it were not for the self-inflicted Pegasus syllable smashing punch in the end, Hoshiya would not be Mesti's opponent. The situation of Aleguni Arachnid is similar, with higher strength than Hoshiya, but he is not the only one who died because of the protagonist's aura of hatred.
The most special of these people should be the Perseid Arug road.
His most powerful place should be the shield of Medusa, with this shield, Aruga road almost created a feat of destroying the five small strengths. Unfortunately, in the end, he encountered the blind and explosive Purple Dragon before he hated and lost.
However, with the addition of the Shield of Medusa, Yarugolu's own strength was also quite good, and in the battle with the Purple Dragon, he repeatedly fought with the Purple Dragon with his own skills.
So aside from the Medusa Shield, this person's strength should be at the next level, but with the Medusa Shield, his strength can be put into this grade.
In the second class are the following people: Moby DickIs, Arian Thercupine, Babel Centauri, Kimian Raven, Gabila Aurice, Dadi the Inferno, Dior Gita, Schlieu the Great, Arjuna, Shiva the Peacock, Jacob the Lotus, and Crystal Saint.
The Silver Saint of this grade is basically not the opponent of the Bronze Five Small Strength, but it is still a hand grip to abuse other bronzes, such as the Bronze Five Small Weak.
For example, in the animation, the original two apprentices of Sha jia, Peacock Shiva and Lotus Seat Yagora, they both look quite powerful, but they go to sneak up on an injured and recuperating Yihui, which is easily solved by the other party.
Not to mention the Inferno Inuyasha Dadi, who lost the chains in an instant, and the surveillance trio that was easily defeated by the Golden Cloaked Star Arrow.
All in all, this grade of Silver Saint Seiya is the truest portrayal of Silver's combat strength at this stage - it is definitely unable to beat gold, and the potential is not very sufficient, and there is no way to challenge the protagonist group. But when it comes to playing soy sauce or auxiliary work, the Silver Saints are basically competent. The potential is not stronger than the Bronze Five, but the actual combat ability is far beyond the Bronze Five Small Weak Level.
Not as good as Bronze:
There are also relatively few Silver Saints of this level, including the following:
Sarna the Ophiuchus; Drimi the Celestial Arrow; Alex the Altarpiece.
The so-called inferior bronze is that the strength of these three is really not up to the level of the Silver Saint Fighter.
The third to last place should be Aunt Sarna.
As a representative character who lost to the initial version of Hoshiya, see no one can beat. Aunt Sarna had basically not had a single battle of equal strength.
The Star Arrow was broken and has been entangled in evil since then; Aeolia has been used as a meat shield, and he was almost beaten to death; he could only lead the Sacred Land Miscellaneous Soldiers to patrol and eat Athena's vinegar.
However, even such a Sharna was not the weakest among the silver, and there were actually two silver saints who were weaker than her.
The penultimate Aquila Drimi. This person's role is only one, that is, to shoot Athena, but in addition, his own strength is simply a cup.
The famous stunt ghost arrow is actually to cover up a real golden arrow with the shadow of hundreds of arrows. The golden arrow was probably given to him by the Pope, not by The Celestial Arrow himself.
In addition, this person's offensive and defensive attributes are simply garbage - on attack, it is impossible to cause half a damage to the star arrow; on defense, it is directly hit by a Pegasus meteor fist of the star arrow, you know, even Sharna and dark pegasus can resist the pegasus meteor fist of the star arrow. Drimi had no ability to resist at all, and directly punched him to death, even the bronze five weak resistance ability was not as good.
If he hadn't been able to shoot the Golden Arrow, the weakest Silver Saint Fighter would have to be him. But just because you can shoot a golden arrow. Drimi could only rank second to the bottom of the Silver Saint Seiya.
The throne of the silver saint seiya, the penultimate throne, is none other than the altar seat.
Contrary to the previous generation of Altarpiece White Rites, the current Generation of Altarpiece Alis is a civilian Silver Saint Seiya:
Alex was a descendant of The Continent of Mullion and the younger brother of Pope Shion. He usually wears a mask similar to the papal mask, and acts as a shadow warrior to assist the old and sick current pope and to act as part of the papal office. Although he was not a Golden Saint, he was trusted by all saints with his honest character and complete support for the Pope, and won more respect and support than his brother who was the Pope.
From this introduction, we can see that although Alex's status is very high. He is Shi Ang's younger brother, but has almost no combat ability. He only acts as a shadow warrior with his own character and management ability.
In the face of Sagar, the strongest of the Saint Seiyas, Alex could not even resist this matter, and was directly killed by the other side. Thus began the dark period of papal rule.
I couldn't fight, I didn't even have my hands. This level of Silver Saint Seiya, not to mention the penultimate first in silver, and even among all the Saint Seiya, is the first to last in actual combat strength.
3 Why is the positioning of the Silver Saint Seiya so awkward?
From the silver saint strength ranking above, we can see that the organization of the silver saint seiya is very loose and very different.
It should be known that although the Golden Saint Fighter also has a strength gap, it can basically ensure the lower limit - even the weakest two Golden Saint Fighters will make the strongest Golden Saint Fighter tired of coping.
Although the Bronze Saint Fighter is not as powerful as the Golden Saint Fighter, the organizational ability is very strong, not to mention the five small strong, even the five small weak also have the same direction and organizational strength.
On the other hand, the Silver Saint Fighter can be said to be a representative class of unorganized and undisciplined.
It seems that each Silver Saint Seiya acts alone, and there is no connection between silver and silver.
Judging from Mo Ling and Sharna, some silver is responsible for serving as bronze's teacher, but most silver does not seem to have this right. And the battles between silver and silver are also very frequent, and everyone seems to be able to fight because of different ideas, and they don't care about Athena's opinion at all.
As a result of this confusion, this generation of Silver Saint Seiya has hardly had any positive effect.
Olufi and Mo Ling were the only two Silver Saint Fighters who helped the Five Strong, while the others were basically responsible for adding to the chaos.
Speaking of the reasons, I am afraid that the culprit that caused silver to fail to play was the contemporary pseudo-pope Sagar.
You know, the reason why the previous generation of silver can fight. The main reason was that the Pope Sage at that time had a strong strategic ability, and through his assignment and organization, the Silver Saint Seiya had a clear goal and team.
The contemporary Pope Shion and the shadow warrior Alex died at the hands of Sagar. Saga himself was inexperienced because of his black-and-white struggles and lack of experience, so he could not be a good pope.
In addition, among the silver saints who are ordered by the pope to be the head of the horse, there are too few people who have the same self-thinking as the golden saints.
As a result, most of the Silver Saints were pit by Pope Sagar, and the few with brains either walked or did not lie dormant, nor could they play their part.
The end result was that at the beginning of the holy war, only a few silver coins were still alive. Of course, it was impossible to exert the backbone of the Silver Saint Seiya.
4 Conclusion
Overall, the Silver Saint Seiya of the SS Era was very different in strength and the organization was also chaotic. However, in terms of numbers and top combat strength, it was the strongest period of silver among the Saint Seiyas in all the dynasties.
If it can really be played, then a large group of Silver Saint Fighters, led by Daedalus and Olufi, will go together. I'm afraid that this group of people alone can lay down half of the underworld.
Of course, in the author's setting, most of the silver is still inexplicably suffocated to death. However, this does not mean that the level of the Silver Saint Seiya is not good in itself.
Perhaps in the subsequent holy war, we can still see the figure of the Silver Saint Seiya. I also hope that the author or other fan-authors can let the Silver Saint Seiya give full play to their strength in the subsequent Saint Seiya chapter and prove the title of Saint Seiya.
