Necropsis: The battle against Apsu ended and the saints had many days to rest their injured bodies, but the Palasite warriors summoned by the goddess Palas are after Athena threating the love and the peace of Earth... the cosmo calls Koga and his friends awakening a new force not seen before in the next episode of Saint Seiya Omega "The New Cloth! Fly, New Pegasus!": have you ever felt your cosmo?

Necropinion: thats right o.O as confirmed in the last episode PV of Mars arc, or should i say Aps arc (I think it was based of Caos from the greek mythology)... it has an entire new staff to go on after exactly a year SSΩ started but personally, I would have prefered SS Next Dimension animated or Lost Canvas S3 instead

finally all the 12 Gold Saints are revealed as listed but after seeing how rushed are these current battles I guess it'll be their last cour, overall it's turning barely better than previous arcs and from my favorite episodes in the entire series was Sonia of Scorpio vs. Soma of Lionet... well he's mexican ^^ also that unexpected gold saint fight between Tokisada of Aquarius and Genbu was worth to watch too o.O (a good Libra after all), even though the Sagittarius cloth didn't appear i doubt that Seiya is dead but besides Medea and Mars there are his god warriors to defeat next ¬¬

damn sorry for the spoiler >.< in my preliminar scores above I posted eps. 11-27 but forgot to specify I watched it with spanish subs last sunday and aired at Japan in saturday, lately english fansubs are taking longer ¬¬ anyway I must agree that Kouga is a lame character and deserves less protagonism than Seiya from the last generation... what i have to admit im liking that there are even more female saints with guts like those you mentioned ^^ I'll be glad to see golden hotties for the first time, btw I wonder if Pavlin's alive because only her mask was left in the snow and next week maybe explains what happened to Ikki of Phoenix or the battle against Mars in 1999 (ep.28 was a recap -.- second 3/10)

Wait wait wait when did Aria die? Ive watched until ep 26 (which is the newest) and cant remember that happening, especially because the last eps were about Haruto, Yuna, that waterguy and Souma. Only at the end of ep 26 it shortly shifet to her.

I wouldnt miss neither Aria nor Kouga,, to be honest the only ones I would miss are Yuna and Sonia. More of Pavlin wouldnt be bad, or Shina.

I'm quite impressed this series keeps going while it didnt turn so bad compared to its first arc back in spring which i started rating between 5 and 4/10 until the Saint fight tourney, besides it has a surprisingly good soundtrack I didnt expect Kouga and Aria as simblings or her death (who I'll not miss because I don't like that character as a new Athena) ¬¬ ...telling by previous Saint Seiya mangas I predict she's walking the path to Mount Yomotsu's pit or in Hell already waiting to be saved in case Omega discards Hades' saga, where his underworld doesn't exist anymore after Athena kills him ^^ as announced in the preview hopefully next chapters get better (ep.16 is bad enough with a 3/10 score) -.- in average:

Saint Seiya Omega Palaestra/Bronze Saints arc (ep. 1 to 10) spring 2012 - 4/10
SSΩ Elemental Ruins/Silver Saints arc (eps. 11-27) summer 2012 - 5/10
SSΩ Tower of Babel/Gold Saints arc (eps. 28-??) fall 2012 to winter 2013? - ???

you're welcome ^^ is the least I can do to explain why many aspects of previous SS adaptations are generally better than this excuse of a sequel and point out the diferences between them, too bad now that the gold saint Mycenae appeared most likely Ikki of Phoenix (once protected by the late Aioria's Leo Cloth 25 years ago) and the other legendary saints aren't gold ones except for Seiya who is still alive -.- ...also I don't think Eden will side with Mars neither with the new bronze saints except in critical moments when they need help (telling by the opening) and surely he'll will take his own path as a "lone wolf", just like Ikki did back then but it's ironic because Haruto (don't confuse with Naruto lol) would fit that kind of attitude better because he's the ninja Wolf Saint who was imprisoned for a long time

Ts, have you ever seen such an ugly Athena? Shes defenitely not worth saving. or even showing. Destroying the sanctuary is the perfect symbol of what they do with the franchise. They make everything different and just destroy what was -.-

I wonder just what all the other gold saints are doing. Its not like they wouldnt know what is happening, are they on Mars side too? Im pretty sure Eden is now.

@Necro: Thanks for explaining the stuff with the clothes. It really an easy way to skimp explanations, just dont let someone get higher -.-

do you remember Yuzuriha of Crane used a mask in Lost Canvas for a while when she started wearing her silver cloth? it's an old tradition that any female must follow gaining the right to become a saint equal to any male, in case he sees her face she has the obligatory dilemma to either kill or love him though both Yuzuriha (like 300 years ago) and Yuna of Aquila decided to disobey them and since then they don't hide it... I guess Omega will break that rule too when all the other female saints find out (now that Kouga knows) about the fake Athena who most likely gave them their masks just like happened in Yuna's flashback, it's not a surprise why that green haired girl is replacing the real reincarnation of the goddess seeing Saori weaker after 25 years as she's almost in her 40s even if she (or any other who appeared in the 80's except for Tatsumi) looks as young as she used to be xD

apparently Omega will take a similar saint system after Tenkaihen or Next Dimension just like it did with the Saint Fight being interrupted this last episode in a similar way as the Galaxian War was in the 80's, or how the Gold Saint chairman Ionia of Capricorn became the traitor just like Saga of Gemini was the fake patriarch (or pope) of the sanctuary 25 years ago... originally the Saint Seiya manga creator Masami Kurumada established the differences about the cloths and ranks of the 88 constellations which mandatorily only 12 of them are gold named after the zodiac signs, but he never cared to explain if those saints started as bronze ruled under another constellation then ranked up to silver after years of training or their fate was to born and directly be a specific class:
Bronze Cloth: official armor used by warriors of Athena who master the basics of cosmo, the Bronze Saint attacks and movements are as fast as Mach speeds depending of how much they can increase their cosmos but usually are slower than the speed of sound or are limited to sharpen only the known 5 senses.
Black Cloth: fake bronze armor used by the traitors exiled by Athena and were introduced in the first arc of the original series (bronze battles), in skill and cosmo the Black Saints are on par with the usually weaker Bronze Saints.
Silver Cloth: used by stronger holy warriors who usually are masters of Bronze Saints, the Silver Saint abilities are on par or greater than the speed of the sound and dominate the 6th sense (mind power- those who are able to do either telepathy, telekinesis or teleportation).
Steel Cloth: mechanical armor used by 3 Steel Saints who only appeared in the anime adaptation of the second arc (silver battles), even though their constellations are part of the 88 they don't possess any cosmos but in ability are between the Bronze and Silver Saints.
Gold Cloth: used by the 12 saints of highest rank who usually are masters of either Bronze or Silver Saints, the Gold Saint abilities are on par or greater than the speed of light and dominate the 7th sense (fighting spirit- those who can survive the speed of light and fight unconscious even without the other 6 senses).
God Cloth: the ultimate armor that first appeared in the Elysion arc (Hades last holy war) thanks to the blood of Athena, in total there are 12 which were used by the olympian gods in myth times and master the 8th sense or beyond (intransigent soul- those who can travel alive through any other dimension like the underworld or heaven).

It depends on which version of saint seiya you are refering to.
In the original series, as well as Lost canvas, you are born to be a specific saint, and as such you don't "evolve" to be a gold saint, even though you can train to get a strength on par with them.
In Next Dimension, saints can change constellations, and as such can go from bronze to silver or gold. So yes, in that case you have to change cloth (from dragon to libra for example), but not necessarily your attack patterns.

If I remember well you are not born Gold, You have to earn the right to wear the Gold armor. When you go from bronze to Silver and to gold you have to change your armor for each state and your attacks and powers increase also.
