Today we are going to talk about the poor man in the Saint Seiya - Casios
Casio is Seiya's first opponent, and he is the apprentice of Ophiuchus Silver Saint Seiya Sharna. He competes with Seiya for the Pegasus Sacred Vestment, and confronts Seiya at the beginning. Casios is dressed in a costume similar to that of a character in Fist of the Big Dipper, giving him the feel of a dragon suit. However, his strength did not exceed everyone's expectations, he did not comprehend the small universe, and only fought with brute force. However, Seiya was able to defeat him and claim the Holy Vestment. In addition, Casios had one of his ears cut off.
However, Casios' tragic fate has only just begun. In order to save face, his favorite master, Sharna, goes to Seiya for revenge. However, she is eventually defeated by Seiya, loses everything, and her heart belongs to Seiya. Casios is disheartened, but in the Zodiac Arc, in order to avoid grieving Sharna, he is willing to bear Aeoria's attack for Seiya, and is eventually killed at the age of 15 (don't get me wrong, despite his mature appearance, he is actually a minor.) ）
The character of Casios is highly represented, he is the most prominent miscellaneous soldier in the Sanctuary, and can be seen as a typical representative of the miscellaneous soldier. Including him in the battle for the Pegasus Holy Clothes gave hope to the miscellaneous soldiers of the Sanctuary to some extent, as it meant that the miscellaneous soldiers had a chance to become official saints. However, this is just a hope, the prerequisite for becoming a Saint Seiya is to comprehend the small universe, without the small universe, no matter how hard they train, it is in vain, they can still only exist as miscellaneous soldiers.
Despite his fierce appearance, Casios is actually a gentle man. In the daily life of Casios and Sharna, Casios shows a very considerate and gentle side, taking care of Sharna in every detail. He would go to the market to buy apples and cook for her. When Sharna takes off the mask, Casios will deliberately turn around (Casios says: Sharna can't beat Seiya, but she can beat me, and she's going to die if she looks at her face). This shows that Casios is indeed an honest man.
But in this era, honest people are easy to lose. No matter how considerate it is, it can't compare to Seiya shooting down a mask in the dueling arena. Eventually, Sharna's heart turned to Seiya's side, and in order to save him, she decided to go to the Lion Palace with her scars in tow. In order not to hurt the goddess, Casios bravely blocked Aeoria's lightning light speed punch, and used his life to awaken Aeoria so that Seiya could continue to move forward.
However, all this means nothing to Casios, who is already dead. The direct murderer, Aioria, easily shifted the blame to Sagar, after all, Saga controlled him, and Saga had enough charges on him, and he didn't care about the life or death of a Sanctuary soldier. Athena didn't even want to resurrect the Golden Saint, let alone a mere Sanctuary Soldier. None of the characters with names and surnames will remember him, and it is estimated that only a few of the Sanctuary Miscellaneous soldiers who worked with Casios in the first place will occasionally miss him. We miscellaneous soldiers used to have the strength to compete for the Holy Clothes, and there was once one ......
However, in the latest remastered version of the 3D Saint Seiya, the screenwriter may have felt that the fate of Casio in the original version was too tragic, and added a lot of scenes to him. Although he was defeated by Seiya before and failed to obtain the Pegasus Holy Clothes, at least he was dressed in a dark version of the Holy Clothes, and he was also given the special move of the Dark Meteor Fist, which was at least much better than the original version. However, from the perspective of plot development, it seems that Casios still can't escape the fate of being arranged to block Seiya in the Lion Palace.
