Who is the strongest and most powerful Gold Saint in the original Saint Seiya manga?

[JohnCenaNation]

This question does not includes the five Bronze Saints protagonists who later on became Gold Saints. IMO, I'm guessing the strongest and most powerful Gold Saint is none other than Aries Shion? I could be wrong. Mu, Aldebaran, Saga, Death Mask, Aiolia, Shaka, Dohko, Milo, Aiolos, Shura, Camus, Aphrodite, and Shion. One of them is the strongest and most powerful of them all, so which one is it?

Wouldn't Grand Pope be the strongest among the Gold Saints since s/he is their leader?

Naw not really Aiolos wasn't the grand pope but he was the strongest Gold Saint at his time

 

[Tarkatower]

The strongest Gold Saint is Gemini Saga.

 

[Konaguna]

Leo Regulus

 

[KoolRay]

Hmmmm Words would say Saga. Leo with Amps is likely far and away the strongest. Aries at there strongest were casualy universal. Libra likely above with weapons. Not counting Amps I say ND Shaka.

Leo Regulus

he isnt a classic

By "in the original Saint Seiya manga?" you mean anithing that Masami Kurumada has written, drawn, created (Episode Zero, MO, ND) no? likewise, ignoring guides or things that he may have approved or supervised?

Also, you take only fact/feat on screen, or statement, off-panel. what WoG says (directky on in his works), interviews, etc?

Personaly, Shakaor Geminis brothers.

Yes, I'm talking about the original Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac manga written by Masami Kurumada in 1986 to 1990 while ignoring everything else.

(Episode Zero, MO, ND) no? likewise, ignoring guides or things that he may have approved or supervised? Never heard of those.

Also, you take only fact/feat on screen, or statement, off-panel. what WoG says (directky on in his works), interviews, etc? What are those?

Personaly, Shakaor Geminis brothers. Who?

 

[JohnCenaNation]

The strongest Gold Saint is Gemini Saga.

Didn't he got his ass kicked by Virgo Shaka or was Gemini Saga holding back on him?

"His" time. I'm talking about the 20th Century of the original Saint Seiya manga. Mu, Aldebaran, Saga, Death Mask, Aiolia, Shaka, Dohko, Milo, Aiolos, Shura, Camus, Aphrodite, and Shion. One of them is the strongest and most powerful of them all, so which one is it?

MO: Manga Original / Original Manga: Saint Seiya 1986-1990

ND: Next Dimension, the oficial continuation of Saint Seiya by Kurumada Himself

Episode Zero: Is a prequel to the original manga written and drawn by the hand of Masami Kurumada, creator of the series. It consists of three chapters published in the Champion Network magazine as of December 19, 2017.

This story tells the facts that led to the Saga Rebellion, thirteen years before the Sanctuary Saga. Here is the attempt to assassinate Baby Athena on behalf of Saga and how Aiolos saved her, risking his life in the attempt and escaping through the Twelve Sanctuary Houses while facing his companions, the Gold Saints Shura, Aphrodite and Deathmask.

Exist an guide/databook called: Saint Seiya Encyclopedia (Þüû Úùÿ Õú½ µÿƒþƒó ÕñºÕà¿, Seinto Seiya Taizen) that contains character files, analysis of its powers and armor and several interviews. It was published in 2001 as part of the revival of the franchise. It consists of 192 pages of content supervised and approved by Masami Kurumada himself, but he did not create it. (This is why I ask you if you take this into account for your question of who is the most powerful of the Gold Saint)

Shaka because in ND have a Universal/+ feat: https://imgur.com/a/yOkot

Saga by considered the strongest Gold Saint of his generation if I remember correctly...

 

[Tarkatower]

Didn't he got his ass kicked by Virgo Shaka or was Gemini Saga holding back on him?

That never happened, and Saga didn't even show his real power.

Saga would have one-shotted 3-sealed Cronus who can stomp 2-sealed Titans.

Saga dismantled all of Shaka's illusions and even Ikki was able to break Shaka's dimensions.

Shaka said he wouldn't have been able to handle a second round of Saga's Another Dimension.

Saga by considered the strongest Gold Saint of his generation if I remember correctly...

I'm talking about MO: Manga Original / Original Manga: Saint Seiya 1986-1990. So among Mu, Aldebaran, Saga, Death Mask, Aiolia, Shaka, Dohko, Milo, Aiolos, Shura, Camus, Aphrodite, and Shion, who is the strongest and most powerful Gold Saints of them all?

 

[AstralKing7]

I personally think Shura or Shaka is the strongest

 

[DrunkHC]

It depends.

Initially Shion and Dohko in their peak of power are more powerful than the others but both have become old and weaker and both belong to another generation of saints.

Aiolos is the golden saint with the highest potential as well as the most powerful but the Sagittarius died without reaching its peak of power that would be comparable to Aiolos (last world). Although there is hype in favor of Saga in episode 0 Aiolos has the feats.

At the time of the Twelve Temples of the Zodiac the most powerful was the Gemini Saga.

Shaka in Next Dimension and Camus in episode Assassin surpassed in power Sagittarius and Gemini.

Aiolia Boost by the powers of Zeus and Hyperion is far more powerful than all.

Aiolia (Zeus / Hyperion) >>> Camus (God cloth)> Shaka (ND)> Shion / Dohko (prime)> Saga (12 temples)> Aiolos

 

[DrunkHC]

In the episode G Assassin, the gold saints are reaching their power, several had their strength extended by Ikhor of Athena.

Aldebaran, Death mask and Milo are more powerful. Shura is being affected by the power of the underworld of Hades his technique Seiken Excalibur evolved to Eclipse Excalibur at the moment the capricorn is much more powerful, Kanon has become the great master now he is more powerful than Saga.
