!!Virgo Shaka
!!! Voiced By: YujiMitsuya (JP)
* AntiHero: Type IV
* AdaptationDistillation: Due to an erased scene of his first meeting with Ikki and other adjustments to fit this change, Shaka became a big arrogant jerk in The Sanctuary Arc. The anime scriptwriters seem to have a grudge against Shaka or something, [[spoiler: such as creating an episode where Shaka send his disciples to kill Ikki, not to mention cheating in that fight by helping his disciples when it's already a 2 against 1 fight.]] Thus this anime only event didn't help Shaka's image the slightest. This caused some fans who only watch anime wonder why Shaka seems to behave differently in Hades arc, as this arc followed Shaka's characterization from the manga closer.
** Or maybe the CharacterDevelopment hit Shaka later in the manga, thus the writers didn't have much info on him in their hands back the and had to use their own {{Alternate Character Interpretation}}s to fill in?
* AdaptationDyeJob: Adverted. Shaka is indeed the only blond Gold saints who is saved from hair dye, and due to his EyesAlwaysShut this troper just realized recently that Shaka have green eyes in manga, therefore Shaka still got an eye dye. His eyes were blue in the original TV series.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: He takes out each of the Bronze Saints and then goes on to explain how his attack would kill them if he chose to go any further with it.
* BadassLonghair
* CallingYourAttacks
** '''Hāṃ''' (Kān): A defensive technique that creates a barrier that encircles Shaka's body
** '''Rikudō Rinne''' (Transmigration to the Six Path or Six Saṃsāra): Which Shaka uses to send his opponent to one of the six Dharma's rebirth realms wich are: Gakikai (the realm of the preta), Jinkai (the realm of humans), Jigokukai (the realm of hell), Chikushōkai (the realm of beasts), Shurakai (the realm of the warring Asura) and finally Tenkai (the realm of heaven)
** '''Tenma Kōfuku''' (Demon Pacifier): Wich expands his cosmos as a huge blast.
** '''Tenkūhaja Chimimōryō''' (Heaven Supremacy on Evil Spirits of Rivers and Mountains) in which Shaka summons minor spirits and sends them against his enemies.
** '''Tenbu Hōrin''' (Treasures of Heavens), Shaka's most powerful attack. Is an offensive and defensive combined technique. Not only traps and defangs Shaka's victims, it also wipes out their five senses named as "Remove of the 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/5th sense" (Dai Ikkan/Nikan/Sankan/Yonkan/Gokan Hakudatsu). Essentially reduces Shaka's victims to living corpses by stopping the main functions of the brain that allows the body to think, also called the 6th sense.
* DisabilitySuperpower: Inverted, he pretends to be blind so he can concentrate on ''limiting'' his power.
** He never pretend to be one actually, since it seems everyone who knows him know he is not blind.
* DissonantSerenity: AND HOW. He's calm, soft-spoken, and ''utterly ruthless'' when fighting.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Just don't [[MindRape tell him that]].
** It's mostly the BadassLonghair and how having his EyesAlwaysShut make his lashes look longer than they really are. so yeah, he looks kinda feminine, but not to Aphrodite levels.
** He is the Virgo Saint for crying out loud, and his temple called Temple of Maiden.
** Some of his fans nickname him barbie in their fanfics, and believe me if you can read spanish or portuguese fanfics you will find quite a lot that mention he looks like Barbie.
* EnlightenmentSuperpowers:
* EyesAlwaysShut: And sweet merciful Athena, DON'T MAKE HIM OPEN THEM.
* FacialMarkings: A ''tilaka'' on his forehead.
* GuileHero: Isn't above manipulating his friends, fellow Saints and disciples as much as he manipulates his rivals.
* EvilCounterpart : To Shun. Both have "female" clothes [[spoiler:and both are reincarnations of gods]]
* HonorBeforeReason: Shaka at the first glance is nothing like Shun, especially if you only watch the anime. But he somehow can fit in this category because ha CAN do it smartly and deal with the after effect.[[spoiler:Other characters in the manga say of Shaka, “although he is like a God, he still has a weakness. He is too compassionate.”]]and if any Saint Seiya's fans out there hear the latter part they would think it refer to Shun.
** He might be not as merciful as Shun but of all gold saints he is the only one who ever bother to refuse a fight and never got bored of [[spoiler: keep giving his enemies or opponents a chance to leave first. In manga he refusef Ikki's challenge in Death Queen Island, knocked the light out of him after warned him to not let the evil around him take control of his soul,and will kill Ikki only if he come before Shaka as enemy. When Shaka confronted Aiolia in Pope's chamber, he told Aiolia to the the HELL out (which actually ''was'' a good advice, but Aiolia was so pumped up that he didn't listen). Shaka openly ignored the Bronze saints who invade his temple, and attacked after Seiya attacked him first. He also gave Ikki a chance to give up the fight unharmed, [[GoodIsNotNice though he didn't ask it nicely.]] In Hades arc Shaka fully intended to kill all Specters that left when they entered his temple, but strangely later he told them to leave and killed them after they tried to attack him.]]

Interestingly, the Libra Saint is usually described as the "point of equilibrium" of the Gold Saints.

* RapunzelHair: It extended past his knees at times.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: He has red nails in manga that match his red hair. The official reason Kurumada ever come up with is because Aquarius represents Ganymede, an androgynous figure from Greek mythology.

** '''Royal Demon Rose''': Aphrodite uses red roses as a projectile. When struck by the thorns on the roses or smelling their fragrance, the target would be poisoned until they slowly lost their 5 senses and fell into a sweet aroma of death. The red roses can also create a dense red mist to cover the entire place and hide his position.
** '''Piranhan Rose''': Aphrodite uses black roses as a projectile. Upon impact, they can break anything within their reach. The power of this technique is high enough to reduce to dust a Bronze Cloth recently strengthened by Aries Mu.

The wall is very durable, and has been shown to shield him against everything from normal cosmos attacks to poison scent and rebounding the attack back to the enemy with the same strength it was launched.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: When he was introduced he appeared as someone rational and wise.
* CallingYourAttacks:
** '''Lightning Plasma''': It's a succesion of rapid fire punches that travel at the speed of light and end up creating a net of lighting that traps the opponent.
** '''Lightning Bolt''': A more concentrated version of the Lightning Plasma in wich he launches a sphere of plasma towards the opponent.

* PlatonicLifePartners: To Marin, according to WordOfGod. The fandom had leaned more toward believing him to be her UnluckyChildhoodFriend, though. In a Q&A, Kurumada used Shion to answer questions about their relationship, and Shion even "said" [[ShipSinking Oh? I have never heard of that rumor.]] It's true that those two get along well, [[PlatonicLifePartners but it is just friendship like male bonding.]] Aiolia had to live [[SinsOfOurFathers under the disgrace of being a little brother of a traitor]], there are inconsiderate people out there who wants to spread rumors about him. I wouldn't pay too much attention to them. And [[MarriedToThejob the sole reason Saints exist is to protect the peace of this world]], [[CelibateHero as long as they have that reason, Saints must devote their mind and body to Athena which is the symbol of peace.]] Therefore, Sanctuary does not recoginze the love or marriage of a Saint but there are times when the life of one person to a Saint is more important than protecting the lives of the rest of the world. I have heard, in our long history, [[CareerVersusMan there are those who have decided to give up their rank as a Saint to protect that one person."]] [[GenreBlind Not very savvy]] [[MostFanficWritersAreGirls about the female side of the fandom]], that Kurumada.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PO061-Shaka_7589.jpg]]
!!Virgo Shaka
!!! Voiced By: YujiMitsuya (JP)
* AntiHero: Type IV
* AdaptationDistillation: Due to an erased scene of his first meeting with Ikki and other adjustments to fit this change, Shaka became a big arrogant jerk in The Sanctuary Arc. The anime scriptwriters seem to have a grudge against Shaka or something, [[spoiler: such as creating an episode where Shaka send his disciples to kill Ikki, not to mention cheating in that fight by helping his disciples when it's already a 2 against 1 fight.]] Thus this anime only event didn't help Shaka's image the slightest. This caused some fans who only watch anime wonder why Shaka seems to behave differently in Hades arc, as this arc followed Shaka's characterization from the manga closer.
** Or maybe the CharacterDevelopment hit Shaka later in the manga, thus the writers didn't have much info on him in their hands back the and had to use their own {{Alternate Character Interpretation}}s to fill in?
* AdaptationDyeJob: Adverted. Shaka is indeed the only blond Gold saints who is saved from hair dye, and due to his EyesAlwaysShut this troper just realized recently that Shaka have green eyes in manga, therefore Shaka still got an eye dye. His eyes were blue in the original TV series.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: He takes out each of the Bronze Saints and then goes on to explain how his attack would kill them if he chose to go any further with it.
* BadassLonghair
* CallingYourAttacks
** '''Hāṃ''' (Kān): A defensive technique that creates a barrier that encircles Shaka's body
** '''Rikudō Rinne''' (Transmigration to the Six Path or Six Saṃsāra): Which Shaka uses to send his opponent to one of the six Dharma's rebirth realms wich are: Gakikai (the realm of the preta), Jinkai (the realm of humans), Jigokukai (the realm of hell), Chikushōkai (the realm of beasts), Shurakai (the realm of the warring Asura) and finally Tenkai (the realm of heaven)
** '''Tenma Kōfuku''' (Demon Pacifier): Wich expands his cosmos as a huge blast.
** '''Tenkūhaja Chimimōryō''' (Heaven Supremacy on Evil Spirits of Rivers and Mountains) in which Shaka summons minor spirits and sends them against his enemies.
** '''Tenbu Hōrin''' (Treasures of Heavens), Shaka's most powerful attack. Is an offensive and defensive combined technique. Not only traps and defangs Shaka's victims, it also wipes out their five senses named as "Remove of the 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/5th sense" (Dai Ikkan/Nikan/Sankan/Yonkan/Gokan Hakudatsu). Essentially reduces Shaka's victims to living corpses by stopping the main functions of the brain that allows the body to think, also called the 6th sense.
* DisabilitySuperpower: Inverted, he pretends to be blind so he can concentrate on ''limiting'' his power.
** He never pretend to be one actually, since it seems everyone who knows him know he is not blind.
* DissonantSerenity: AND HOW. He's calm, soft-spoken, and ''utterly ruthless'' when fighting.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Just don't [[MindRape tell him that]].
** It's mostly the BadassLonghair and how having his EyesAlwaysShut make his lashes look longer than they really are. so yeah, he looks kinda feminine, but not to Aphrodite levels.
** He is the Virgo Saint for crying out loud, and his temple called Temple of Maiden.
** Some of his fans nickname him barbie in their fanfics, and believe me if you can read spanish or portuguese fanfics you will find quite a lot that mention he looks like Barbie.
* EnlightenmentSuperpowers:
* EyesAlwaysShut: And sweet merciful Athena, DON'T MAKE HIM OPEN THEM.
* FacialMarkings: A ''tilaka'' on his forehead.
* GuileHero: Isn't above manipulating his friends, fellow Saints and disciples as much as he manipulates his rivals.
* EvilCounterpart : To Shun. Both have "female" clothes [[spoiler:and both are reincarnations of gods]]
* HonorBeforeReason: Shaka at the first glance is nothing like Shun, especially if you only watch the anime. But he somehow can fit in this category because ha CAN do it smartly and deal with the after effect.[[spoiler:Other characters in the manga say of Shaka, “although he is like a God, he still has a weakness. He is too compassionate.”]]and if any Saint Seiya's fans out there hear the latter part they would think it refer to Shun.
** He might be not as merciful as Shun but of all gold saints he is the only one who ever bother to refuse a fight and never got bored of [[spoiler: keep giving his enemies or opponents a chance to leave first. In manga he refusef Ikki's challenge in Death Queen Island, knocked the light out of him after warned him to not let the evil around him take control of his soul,and will kill Ikki only if he come before Shaka as enemy. When Shaka confronted Aiolia in Pope's chamber, he told Aiolia to the the HELL out (which actually ''was'' a good advice, but Aiolia was so pumped up that he didn't listen). Shaka openly ignored the Bronze saints who invade his temple, and attacked after Seiya attacked him first. He also gave Ikki a chance to give up the fight unharmed, [[GoodIsNotNice though he didn't ask it nicely.]] In Hades arc Shaka fully intended to kill all Specters that left when they entered his temple, but strangely later he told them to leave and killed them after they tried to attack him.]]

* OverrankedSoldier: Gold Saint at seven years old.
* PhysicalGod: Because he is...
* {{Reincarnation}}: Of Buddha. Yes, THAT [[{{Buddhism}} Buddha]]. Yeah, Ikki was all OhCrap when he was told about it.
** Actually that would be only in the dub since Shaka is not Buddha but [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhahood a Buddha]] (when a person becomes enlightened, his consciousness escapes the cycle of reincarnation) [[DubInducedPlotHole which may explain]] why in Hades he's talking to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddha Siddhartha Gautama]] as a kid.

* ThanatosGambit: In the Hades arc.
* TranquilFury: In the few times he gets pissed.

However, his zodiacal sign is Tiger and he bears a tattoo depicting one, the same way Shiryu does. Interestingly, the Libra Saint is usually described as the "point of equilibrium" of the Gold Saints. It is quite obvious by the fact that he is one of the most badass of the characters that Dohko has achieved the perfect balance between Dragon and Tiger and that he draws enormous strength from it.

* AdaptationDistillation: Due to the Crystal Saint being Hyoga's teacher, Camus came off as more of a one-dimensional jerk in the anime.

* RapunzelHair: It extended past his knees at times.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: He has red nails in manga that match his red hair. The official reason Kurumada ever come up with is because Aquarius represents Ganymede, an androgynous figure from Greek mythology.

[[spoiler: in manga it's Saga who Milo helped to walk to Main Temple but in anime it's Camus complete with scene where Milo was crying as choking him.]] And their yaoi fangirls squee

The red roses can also create a dense red mist to cover the entire place and hide his position.
** '''Piranhan Rose''': Aphrodite uses black roses as a projectile. Upon impact, they can break anything within their reach. The power of this technique is high enough to reduce to dust a Bronze Cloth recently strengthened by Aries Mu.
