Oh, that makes sense then. I haven't read that part of the manga yet and the anime never depicted him to weakened that much. I just never assumed a physically weakened character's AP would be affected. Thanks for clearing that up!
AFAIK, don't characters become stronger in Saint Seiya when they should be getting "weaker"? Like isn't that when they burn their Cosmos and their attacks become stronger. That's how Seiya and company win their battles. When Saga lost 4 of his senses and took heavy damage from Milo and Aiolia, I...
I actually think Mu is the best fighter. There's a difference between best fighter and most powerful. Not all the Gold Saints just spam attacks, and even if they did, it's because it's the only technique they have. Saga has more techniques sthan most that's why he doesn't use the same thing over...
Technically it was Kurumada. I don't recall him outright saying it but he's hinted at Shion and Dohko being on top. Assassin Aiolos is still above them, though, unless they show up in Assassin and get power-ups somehow...
Partly. There are are reasons though. He has a lot of experience. Saga called him the strongest Gold Saint in original manga. He was equal to Shion, who has a perfect score on the Taizen. Dohko and Shion were survivors of the previous Holy War, which was referred to as the most trying.
Normally I do put Dohko and Shion above Aiolos and I don't see any problem with that. I'd do the same for Shaka and Saga. Unfortunately I haven't finished reading Episode G or Assassin but I do keep up so I'm not about go and make a list just yet.
Yes they are younger but have displayed more...
Does "that generation" refer to the time when only he and Saga were around and the other Gold Saints were children? I dont think killing a sealed Typhon would put him above everyone else. To be fair, all the Gold Saints in Episode G are above their classic incarnations.
I'll explain from a different angle then lol... Are you saying that Classic Aiolos (who is older than Assassin Aiolos, mind you) had the power of Assassin Aiolos but still lost to Shura even though he was at a disadvantage? I doubt you're saying that. So this really has nothing to do with age...
Okay I'll be more specific. Classic Aiolos is before he traveled around time and space building up his army and gaining power. Assassin Aiolos is after all that.
Okay so most of these points are from Episode G. I'm talking about Aiolos before Episode G. People were saying he was among the strongest when he was still a 14 year old. I think he acts as the leader to the Gold Saints because he was the first one to raelize the truth about Aiolos. Also he is...
That's actually not the point. I was discussing why people consistantly ranked Aiolos so high on Most Powerful Gold Saints lists even before his appearance in Assassin.
1) Uh, that's literally what Assassin Aiolos is. Him at his full potential. That's what Aiolos would have been if he had not died.
2) He slew Typhon which is pretty impressive.
As I said, I'm discussing Classic Aiolos not Assassin Aiolos.
1) I'm just saying we can't assume that if he lived he'd become stronger. It's likely but it didn't happen. He died and his strength should be determined at the time before he died.
2) It doesn't matter if he didn't get to shine. That's no reason to rank him on lists based on his potential and...
1) When was Aiolos' strength ever mentioned in the original manga? The only person to scale his strength off of is Saga. This is when they were young. Saga wasn't in his prime. Of course Aiolos would seem strong when compared to all the other young Gold Saints. After they grew older and their...
He whooped Aiolia AND Shura at the same time with one arm? I doubt it. Also, Aiolia died at 14, and fought an 11 year old Shura. Other Golds probably surpassed him after his early death. And he didn't really whoop Shura now did he. I'll double check the original manga and see how the fight went...
Yes, that is true. But consider of how much people actually talk about him in the show quite often. It's safe to say that he as powerful as Saga due to the fact that he is one of the two candidacy and also Saga rival for Pope position but got elected due to Shion sensing Saga evil half within...
By that logic Shion and Dohko should be included, as well. Also, why does Aiolos always get included in the most powerful Gold Saint group. Even before his appearances in Episode G: Assassin, many people said he was the strongest Gold Saint. Going by the manga, he did nothing aside from being...
I don't know nearly as much about Superman Pre-Crisis as I do Seiya, but I think Sups takes this anyway. I just glanced at his profile and he is nigh omnipresent. Seiya is better in AP, Dura, and Stamina, though.
