360.2 Gemini and Sea Dragon



...What can I say about these two at this point?

According to interviews, Saga was the first character Kurumada created for Saint Seiya - before any Greek gods were borrowed, before Athena evolved from subjective concept to objective human form, before even Kurumada's meta-main character "Seiya" had his role designated - was born. In contrast, I wonder whether Kanon was added as an afterthought, or out of necessity for a new big boss after Saga's legacy. But I know many who would much rather believe Kanon was created so Saga would not be lonely.

Canon: Kanon's name is under the dictionary entry for "brother complex". This is as self-evident as Hyoga's Oedipal thing for his mom - something that even male fans (or casual viewers) must acknowledge.

Fanon: ...Saga reciprocates.
