I just watched Episode 3 of Knight of the Zodiac and can say that it was a good chapter, even the additions to the story were really good, for example the fight between Daidalos and Aphro.
It was interesting that they took into account Taizen's description for Daidalos' abilities, since in this chapter we can see that he is a very complete Saint when it comes to fighting and a master in skills that the Saints use, since his fight against Aphro uses illusions to trick the opponent (he uses a substitution jutsu), creates a zone of darkness so that Aprho could not find him and attack him by surprise (although Aphro overcomes it without problems), and fights with melee combat using different styles. His special technique creates a giant energy hammer to hit the opponent, which Aphro stops with a rose. At the end of the fight, Aphro uses the Royal Demon Rose to kill Daidalos.
The rest of the chapter does not bring anything new in terms of power levels or abilities of the Saints, since we only have some scenes with June and Marin, and also adapts the path of the Bronze Saints through the Gemini Temple and the first part of the fight against the Gemini Saint, there is not much to add and I can only say that it was a good adaptation of this part of the story.
Is it my imagination or is the Royal Demon Rose becoming more and more impressive with each new series (in the original manga I always considered it a useless and easy to resist technique, but now I guess the plot armor of the protagonists saved them), unlike Another Dimension which is becoming more and more useless.
In Next Dimension it is mentioned that Shijima and Cardinale might have died from the poison of the Royal Demon Rose in the air (even after Cardinale took off the roses on the way), even Shijima fell unconscious from the poison when arriving at the Aquarius Temple. In Saintia Sho, the Saintias, Saori (weakened) and Mayura's students fell unconscious because of these roses, we could even see how Shoko was affected, even though she has a special resistance to the poisons or toxins used by the dryades, and then Marin explains that Aphro did not use the true power of the Royal Demon Rose against her. And now we can see how the Royal Demon Rose easily killed Daidalos.
The fact that Cardinale is affected by the poison of these roses confirms that this nonsense about the poison in the blood of the Pisces Saints and their immunity to the poison of these roses was just an invention of Shiori for TLC, because in the canon only Aphro is immune to the poison of these roses and only he can use this technique, because Cardinale is not immune and never uses this technique in Next Dimension. Is it my imagination or does Kurumada take a morbid pleasure in eliminating all the nonsense invented in the spin-offs for his universe.
