In Saint Seiya: The Golden Zodiac, before and after Sagar assassinated Shi Ang and pretended to be the Pope, the Golden Saint Seiya of the Holy Land did not have the same heart, and even split into several camps. In my opinion, the attitude of the Golden Saints to the "pseudo-pope" can be divided into the following categories.
Aeolos (Sagittarius): Aeolos discovers that the Pope is a Saga disguise, as well as his ambition to kill Athena to control the land. Aeolos has completely broken with Saga and left with her young Athena in her arms, but is eventually killed. He is the one who knows the truth among the Golden Saints, and his relationship with the pseudo-pope is naturally "completely opposite".
Tong Hu (Libra): As a survivor of the last "holy war", Tong Hu's knowledge and sensitivity naturally surpassed that of the current Golden Saint, but although he felt the pope's strangeness, there was no full evidence. He inhabits the Five Old Peaks, first to monitor the sealed Demon Star, and second, to train new Saint Seiya, which arouses Sagar's killing intentions, so he sends Cancer Dismask to assassinate.
Mu (Aries): Mu's teacher Shi Ang is the real pope, and after being assassinated by Sagar, Mu, as a disciple of his own lineage, could not have been unaware of it. Like Tong Hu, he was far away from the Sacred Realm, ostensibly practicing in the Jamil Plateau, privately helping the young and righteous Saint Fighters mend the Holy Cloak, telling them the secret of the Seventh Sense in order to pursue the truth of the Sacred Realm.
Aeolia (Leo): Aeolia has been searching for the truth about the disappearance of his brother Aeolos, who has been slandered as a "traitor", and his heart has never believed in the pope whose temperament has changed dramatically. In the end, he finally found some clues, but unfortunately, during the confrontation with the pseudo-pope, he was hit by the "Magic Emperor Illusion Fist", which led to a duel with Hoshiya in the Chapter of the Zodiac.
Arudiba (Taurus): Arudiba's attitude towards the pope is too subtle, but seems to be a little suspicious. In the Taurus Palace, he bet on "cutting off the horns" and finally put the planetary arrow, in addition to his boldness of willing to gamble and lose, it was also one of the reasons to be aware of the justice of the pope.
Miró (Scorpio): Miró's attitude is very resolute, that is, to stick to the Scorpio Palace. He resisted the advance of Glacier and others, not for the orders of the Pope, but to obey the duty of the Golden Saint To guard the Zodiac. It is worth mentioning that Miro's trip to destroy Fairy Island is the original plot of the anime, which is not in the original manga.
Kamio (Aquarius): Kami is very similar to Miro, and his purpose is to protect the Aquarius Palace. He didn't even keep his hand on the disciple Glacier. However, he still liked that the glacier was sealed in the ice coffin without pain, and when he found that the glacier had been killed to the Aquarius Palace, he had to use his own frozen gas to meet the challenge of the disciple.
Sharjah (Virgo): Sagar is not unaware of the evil of the pseudo-pope. However, he has his own set of cognitions, which he expresses in his duel with Yihui. He believes that the whole truth of the universe is actually impermanence, and that complete evil or perfect justice does not exist. He felt the evil of the Pope, but also found the goodness of the Pope, so he chose to continue to believe in the Pope.
Dismask (Cancer): Dismask, who is very cruel in his own right, is absolutely obedient to Sagar, and he even knows the secret of Sagar's assassination of the pope. As a confidant of Sarga, he was sent to Wulao Peak to attack Tong Hu. In the Cancer Palace, he also gave a dead hand to the Purple Dragon, but unfortunately was killed by the Purple Dragon after being abandoned by the Holy Cloak.
Shura (Goat): Unlike the anime version of "the most loyal Saint Seiya to the Goddess", shura in the original manga also knows the secret of Saga and obeys his absolutes, and 13 years ago chased Aeolos with Shura involved. In the Goat Palace, Shura and the Purple Dragon also tried their best to duel, but in the end they left the hope of life to the Purple Dragon.
Abrodite (Pisces): Abrodi was also one of Sarga's confidants and followed Sagar's orders to destroy The Fairy Island. He was in the last house of the Twelve Houses, and in addition to fending off the Bronze Saint Fighter himself, he also used the poisonous rose as a barrier to stop Hoshiya and the others from moving forward, which could be described as a dedication.
