Pegasus Seiya

View source

Seiya is the Pegasus Bronze Saint of the 20th century and the titular protagonist of the series.

An orphaned child, he was separated from his older sister Seika and sent to Greece to become a Saint.

Initially motivated by the desire to rejoin his sister, he eventually discovers he has protected Athena for millennia, his soul returning every time she reincarnates to assist her in the battles against the evil that threaten the Earth.

As a warrior of immense might, Seiya achieves victory in impossible battles. Seiya is proclaimed as the future Gold Saint of the Sagittarius, succeeding Sagittarius Aioros, occasionally donning the Sagittarius Cloth when facing particularly challenging opponents.

With the help from his friends and Athena, Seiya has defeated various gods, among them Poseidon and Hades, although Hades cursed him at the end of their fight in order to prevent his cycle of rebirth.

He was left in a comatose state which eventually Athena managed to remove during the Heaven Chapter.

He was voiced by Tōru Furuya in the original series and Hiroko Emori as a child, who also voiced Appendix Kiki. In the Hades OVA, Saintia Shō spin-off and in various videogames, he was voiced by Masakazu Morita, who also provided his voice in the Netflix adaption of the series.

Physical appearance

Seiya is a lean-built teenager with fair skin, spiky, dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. Whenever he doesn't wear his Cloth, he wears his trademark sleeveless red shirt, blue jeans, white shoes, and a pair of red cloth-bracers on his arms.

Whenever he wears his Cloth, he replaces his civilian clothing with a sleeveless red outfit. During the Hades OVA, Seiya wears a pair of red bandages on each arm.

Personality

Seiya is headstrong, stubborn, strong-willed, and reckless in nature, along with a quick temper when provoked to a fight, especially his friendly feuds with his friends and/or other Saints that he's close to. He is sometimes immature and sassy, as to making jokes about certain situations. During battle, Seiya is very serious and always gets back up if he's beaten down by his enemy.

He is also quick to charge at his opponents, without thinking over the situation at first, usually leading to the teenager being knocked down. While he appears to be simple and straightforward in a fight, he has a rather strategic mind, helping him to, on multiple occasions, find weaknesses in his opponent's techniques, or simply weaknesses his opponents themselves possess. Seiya also defeats his opponents with pure wit and spirit, rather than brute strength.

Seiya hates to lose, so he is always struggling, despite having a big heart. He never gives up and protects his friends, family and loved ones, no matter what happens to himself. At first he had a strong rebellious spirit, but also has a sharp understanding of almost any given situation, making him a good leader.

In spite of his naturally rebellious nature, Seiya is quite perceptive and understanding of his friends' feelings.

Powers and Abilities

Master Combatant: Seiya is a very proficient unarmed combatant, capable of packing powerful punches, elbows, kicks, and grapples; he is skilled enough to fight on par with master combatants of, or above his caliber, for a considerable amount of time.

Superhuman Strength: Seiya has shown on various times to possess a high degree of physical strength. His punching power is great enough to shatter multiple, concrete buildings and crack through hard steel. With the Seventh Sense, he possesses the same strength as a Gold Saint.

Superhuman Speed: One of Seiya's greatest attributes is his speed, able to instantly accelerate and run at speeds far greater than Mach 5. He is capable of closing great distances in the blink of an eye and possibly keep up with opponents that could match his level. Utilizing the Seventh Sense, Seiya can move faster than the speed of light or punch a billion times per second.

Enhanced Reflexes: Seiya possess fast reflexes, having been able to dodge attacks from various enemies of higher rank than himself.

Superhuman Durability: Seiya has shown to be extremely durable. With the Pegasus Cloth, he has tanked continual, deadly assaults from adversaries stronger than him and kept fighting. Such impressive resistance was proven throughout many of his most difficult trials: in his fight against Leo Aioria, he took many severe blows and had his leg broken, but none the less, he continued fighting. He also lost his five senses during his battle with Gemini Saga but was, in spite of that, was capable of overwhelming him with faster-than-light punches.

Enhanced Endurance: Seiya's endurance is very high, as he has continued fighting effectively after taking many injuries, and can survive attacks that would easily kill average Bronze and Silver Saints.

Keen Intellect: Despite being headstrong and straightforward, Seiya has shown on numerous of battles to possess an average level of keen intelligence, managing to find weak points in his enemies' attacks which allows him to evade the attack if used again.

Immense Cosmo Power: Despite being a Bronze Saint, Seiya has been noted to have vastly immense levels of Cosmo. His unique level of Cosmo reserves are so vast, that he can raise his own to its maximum peak, increasing all of his fighting capabilities even further, enough to rival both Silver Saints and even Gold Saints. Furthermore, being a reincarnation of the Pegasus, Seiya is capable of increasing his Cosmo to the point where he can wound various Deities. His Cosmo is blue in color.

  • Sixth Sense: As with many of Athena's Saints, Seiya has the Sixth Sense known as Intuition, meaning that he can feel and use Cosmoenergy over large distances, predict movements without the use of his other five senses, as well as using supplementary abilities like telepathy, atomic manipulation and destruction, and/or projecting energy blasts.
  • Seventh Sense: The Seventh Sense, the main source of power of the Gold Saints, allows Seiya to draw out the true potential of his Cosmo and achieve exceptionally powerful feats far beyond those of an average Saint, such as moving his body at the speed of light, wield enough power to pulverize a star, or being able to punch a billion times per second. He awakened his Seventh Sense for the first time during his fight against Taurus Aldebaran.
  • Eight Sense: The Eighth Sense, also known as the "Arayashiki", allows Seiya to push his Cosmo beyond its limits and have the strength to safely travel to the Underworld and also single-handedly defeat Harpy Valentine, one of the strongest Specters. He awakened this by chance after the Bronze Saints' desperate battle against Wyvern Rhadamanthys when he pushed the latter down the chasm with him.
  • Miraculous Cosmo: The only way a human could oppose the vast Cosmo of the Gods is through a miracle, a force that Seiya and the other Saints have shown to possess. Upon awakening his God Cloth, Seiya's Cosmo becomes far more powerful, allowing him to overpower Thanatos during their battle and more efficiently stand his ground during the Bronze Saints' assault on Hades, even managing to injure him directly during the final showdown between Athena and Hades.
  • Ninth Sense: Known as the "supreme virtue", the Ninth Sense is the Cosmo usually possessed only by the Deities. Upon challenging Apollo, Seiya's Cosmo surges to new heights, awakening a fraction of the Ninth Sense, which allows him to scratch Apollo's cheek.

Techniques

Pegasus Ryū Sei Ken (Pegasus Meteor Fist): The signature technique of the Pegasus Saint. After concentrating his Cosmo and weaving the stars of the Pegasus constellation through a stance, Seiya launches a great number of blue meteors from his right fist which emerge at a great speed. Whenever his Cosmo increases, so does the amount of punches, power, and speed.

Pegasus Sui Sei Ken (Pegasus Comet Fist): Seiya charges up Cosmo in his right hand, and launches a powerful homing ray of pure light at the target. He first used this technique to break through Lizard Misty's defense during their encounter.

Pegasus Rolling Crash: Seiya immobilizes his target physically, then forms a hurricane while rising through the air and then dropping his target on the head, dealing massive damage when they both hit the ground headfirst.
