Regarding the Tier of Lower Level Saint Seiya Characters.

[Matthew_Schroeder]

Hello everyone, I am a big fan of the entire Saint Seiya Franchise, and on the whole I've been satisfied with the levels the series's character are placed at in this wiki.

However, there is a small issue that has been bugging me as of late, regarding the Current Tier of Silver Saints.

As of now, they are placed at Tier 7-B, with City Level+ Attack Potency. I find that to be highly incoherent with the power escalation of the series, and with a feat Lizard Misty displays.

Consider the following:

01) Even Low Level Bronze Saints, such as Unicorn Jabu, are City Level in their AP, due to their attacks having atomic destruction.

02) Even early on, Seiya and the others were vastly superior to the 5 Minor Bronze Saints, defeating them in the tournament with ease.

03) During Chapter 20 of the original manga, Lizard Misty appears for the first time, and does this:

Misty is powerful enough to make Earthquakes that, at least according to Seiya, would make all of Mount Fuji to burst if kept going. Furthermore:

Misty casually overpowers Seiya, and even when he regains his Cloth, the Cosmos released by just one of his fingers is enough to make him fly away.

All of that, plus Misty's statement about the difference between a Bronze Saint and a Silver Saint, is in my mind enough to make a case for Silver Saints being placed at At Least Tier 7-A


What do you guys think?

The Mount Fuji bursting statement wasn't meant literally from the way it looks. Seiya was just exclaiming how powerful the earthquake felt, he didn't mean the actual mountain would get destroyed.

I can agree that it wasn't meant as literal, but then again, we are talking about classic Saint Seiya, where literally every attack and every event is treated like it is "The Grandest Thing Ever", and every character talks in purple prose.


But even if the statement is to be viewed simply as a hyperbole, I think that the Silver Saints should get a small upgrade, simply because of how easily Misty overwhelmed Seiya at first, when he had already surpassed the Black Saints and matched Ikki, who in turn vastly surpassed the main characters during the Tournament, who in turn were far above average Bronze Saints.

Regardless, I will await other opinions on this matter.
