Hello, everyone. I am making this thread to request an alteration for a great quantity of Saint Seiya profiles, namely any character who posssess the 7th Sense, or any character above that. If you go to the profile of most characters from the franchise, such as Seiya, Ikki, Shaka ... Hell, even Athena, you see the following listed under weakness "Can't breath in space" or "Can't survive in space for long". Well, I believe that this is wrong, and I'll try to prove why.
Firstly, where did this idea came from? Well, I believe it came from Chapter 40 / Episode 66 of the original manga / anime, for this is the first (Or is it, we'll go back to that later) time we see characters leaving the earth's atmosphere.
Shiryu uses his forbidden, ultimate technique, the Final Dragon, which sends him and the opponent flying endlesly into the skies at rapidly increasing FTL+ speeds.
Here are the scenes from the manga (I couldn't find it in english):

On the second panel, Shura says "If we keep gaining altitude, our bodies won't resist the heat of the friction and we'll both be reduced to dust" (In PT-BR: "Se continuarmos ganhando altitude nossos corpos n├úo suportar├úo o calor do atrito. Seremos reduzidos a pó.") At no point is it mentioned that space would kill them.

They continue to rise, the moon clearly visible behind the two, and yet they continue to talk and breath normally.

Once again, we see the moon behind them. Shura once again says that they'll be reduced to dust, not die from the vacuum. "Our bodies shall soon desintegrate in this vastness. We'll be pulverized!" (In PT-BR: "Nossos corpos logo vão se desintegrar nesta imensidão. Seremos pulverizados")
Finally, this isn't a one time thing, there are two major feats that prove that 7th Sense users can survive in the vacuum of space. In chapter 31 we see that Andromeda Shun, as he acquired a trace of the 7th sense, was capable of surving and countering Saga's another dimension:

Finally, there's the famous "Crossing the Hyperdimension" feat from the 8th Saint Bronze Saints. Now, the Hyperdimension is an universe-sized area containing billions of galaxies, and they went flying through the vacuum of it's space. That clearly indicates that through their Cosmos, they don't have to worry about the vacuum, and can move normally in it.

So, what do you all think? Do you agree that this is a weakness that should be removed from their profiles?
