Saint Seiya 15
Posted: November 20, 2008 Filed under: Knights of the Zodiac 2 Comments »I’ve got… maybe two or three volumes of this. I’ve been having trouble getting myself worked up enough about it to read them though, and this volume is a pretty good example of why.
So Seiya fights one of Poseidon’s generals. The battle is tough, he gets taken down, then he perks back up and defeats the general. He tries to knock down the pillar, can’t, then something happens that allows him to do so.
Repeat for Shiryu.
Repeat for Shun.
Absolutely nothing else happens. I was kind of excited, because whenever a knight revived, they started talking about the cloth shining gold and I wanted them to suddenly become gold knights. That would have been great. But that was not so much the case, even though I’m still kind of wishing for that further down the road. If I’m lucky, the same story from this volume will happen next volume for Hyoga, then Ikki will suddenly come back and do it too.
Two things, though. One is that Shiryu is run through with a spear and doesn’t die. This isn’t really explained, but… Shiryu is run through with a spear and doesn’t die. That was probably the highlight of the volume for me. Also, Shun’s fight WAS kind of cool. He took a beating, then gave a beating right back using the Andromeda Chains, which are a pretty cool weapon. He’s also really…. well, girly. I don’t know how else to describe him.
Shiryu gets stronger the more blood he loses. :P
And all he needs is to take a nap to heal all his wounds. XD
And Shun’s fight is great, for once he completely dominates his opponent. ^^
Well next volume has some Ikki and Hyoga action (Ikki being badass as usual, Hyoga whining as usual :P ) , but the last two tomes of Poseidon are better.
Just finish Poseidon quickly, Hades is a much better arc. ;)
Yeah, I didn’t give Shun quite enough credit. It was awesome to see him totally waste someone like that.
I ought to just run through the rest of the volumes I have quickly, like ripping off a band-aid. I know the Hades arc will be awesome.
