Saint Seiya 6
Posted: September 17, 2007 Filed under: Knights of the Zodiac 1 Comment »I was about 30 pages into volume 8 before I realized I was reading the wrong volume. I thought that was just how this series rolled: abruptly.
I don’t think I will ever get a moment that tops Misty randomly stripping and wandering into the ocean and ranting about his beauty (from the last volume), but it seems like I do get one perfect moment for every volume of this series I read. This time around, the Silver Knights had just punched out Marin for being a traitor. Within 2 pages, not only do they casually reveal a really deep and random relationship between her and another character, but they mention in a dialogue that they shouldn’t kill her, it would be better to put her in a dangerous situation to lure the other Knights out with her cosmo.
There’s a one-panel explanation of this “situation,” which is binding her upside-down from a log and having the tide come in around her head and drowning her. Then they move on to the next item of business, which are the Knights showing up on about the same page.
I love you, Saint Seiya.
