The old Bear Saint, Geki, is now a trainer. She prevents Kouga from fighting the Dorado Saint, a good idea. Don’t forget the main goal: Athena’s protection. Yuna fights the Dorado Saint one on one, and proves her mettle. We are in an age of equality, and if you complain about this, you need to recheck your values. Things have changed, and I’m glad a female Saint can get along without a mask. It was meant to happen, since things are a lot different now versus when Saint Seiya first came out.
Later on, he helps Yuna realize her goal of being stronger, not having to hide behind a mask, and showing that this isn’t a male dominated world. The students try to gang up on Kouga since he seems weak, but he creates a diversion and escapes. Regardless, everyone sees Kouga as a wannabe, since Seiya is currently the Saint of legend, anyone wearing the Pegasus Cloth is under intense scrutiny. This is the same thing that happened before, so I’m not surprised. The fact that no one knows about what happened or feels a sense of dread or priority is concerning. Hence, you must be a Gold Saint, or be able to pass one. If you want to meet up with Athena, you must pass the twelve houses. The higher-ups think Athena is still in Sanctuary, just past the twelve houses. Other than this, we also get a few familiar things. Our female Saint hints at ties with Seiya’s teacher, Marin, the Silver Saint of the Eagle. Females are obviously equal in today’s world, so we must establish this in the Saint Seiya universe.
One of the initial scenes pokes fun at the females’ mask, which is an antiquated thing. Palaestra is the new training ground for Saints, like the Sanctuary was before. Is the series going into too much generic anime territory though? What about the obvious male domination of the original series? Palaestra, the training ground for Saints is shown, and we are given a lot more nods to the original series. Now we are on episode 3, and are introduced to our third Saint. I’ve already expressed my concerns before about this series. Saint Seiya Omega continues its trek, and what an interesting journey it is so far.
