History YMMV / SaintSeiyaTheLostCanvas

* AntiClimaxBoss: None other than [[spoiler:Hades himself. He doesn't do anything but take a hit.]]

* FridgeBrilliance: Explaining Youma's time manipulation powers and fondness of younger brothers as due to being [[spoiler: the forgotten Titan Kairos, Kronos's younger brother. Specifically, the Greeks had two words for time, Kronos and Kairos. While "Kronos" meant the natural procession of time, "Kairos" meant a specific ''moment''.]]

** Minos keeping praising Albafica's beauty or [[VillainousCrossdresser Veronica]] with Manigoldo.

* LesYay: Phantasos, in female form, licking Yuzuriha's face.
* MoralEventHorizon: There is one, and Alone's crossed it... [[WooBieDestroyerOfWorlds although he does think he's doing it to end all suffering]].

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Not these Lost Canvas characters ''per se'', but when compared to their classic counterparts. Pisces Albafica and Cancer Manigoldo seem to fall under this trope in Lost Canvas, compared to the original series. Pegasus Tenma might also fall under this as he's far more likeable than Seiya to some fans.
* {{Squick}}: In this universe, it is revealed that [[spoiler: Shion [[MindRape mindraped]] the Cloths he had to repair and derived [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything entrancing pleasure]] from it]]. Ewww. Even if he atoned for it, Ewww.

** One of the first is [[spoiler:Pisces Albafica's last stand and death against Griffin Minos]]. In fact, it is hard not to sob throughout [[spoiler:Capricorn El Cid's final scenes. Actually, make that all of the currently dead Gold Saints' final moments, with special mentions to Taurus Aldebaran, Cancer Manigoldo, Scorpio Kardia, Virgo Asmita...]] hell, all of them. It's all tragic. [[ForegoneConclusion Damn series premise!]]

* MartyStu: Regulus, Regulus, '''Regulus'''. The series just keeps rubbing it in how great he is and keeps noting that he's a prodigy. He can also use two extremely powerful attacks that require the assistance of other Gold Saints all on his own.

* TakeThatScrappy: For all the allegations of Mephistopheles Youma being a bit of a VillainSue, well... it just makes his eventual defeat at the hands of [[spoiler:Gemini Aspros]] all the more satisfying.

* AssPull: Regulus [[spoiler: being able to perform both the Athena Exclamation (which requires ''three'' Gold Saints) and the Zodiac Exclamation (a move that's more powerful than the aforementioned Athena Exclamation and which requires '''all twelve Gold Saints to pull off''') all on his own during his battle against Rhadamanthys.]]

* EnsembleDarkhorse : Bennu Kagaho. It helps that he's an expy of Phoenix Ikki.
** The Gold Saints were this in the original series and one of the main reasons why they're the protagonists in the this series.

*** Dohko/Kagaho's fight has some.
*** Radamanthys/Regulus on the front cover of Chapter 200 as well as during their fight.
*** Alone/Hades with Tenma too especially at the moment when he takes Tenma's head in his hands very close to him as if to give him a kiss. This goes UpToEleven in the latest chapters (past 212).
*** The Gaiden series is a fuel of this. We have Albafica having FoeYay with an enemy and being friendly with Manigoldo.

* HoYay: For the fangirls, this is just added fuel for their Dohko/Shion fanfics! It doesn't help that every single Expy got [[EstrogenBrigadeBait very, very pretty.]]

* AwesomeEgo: Cancer Manigoldo and Gemini Aspros both have huge egos (Aspros' definitely shows right before his battle against [[spoiler:Mephistopheles Yoma/Kairos]]) and are very much awesome.

* CompleteMonster: [[AdvancingBossOfDoom Griffin Minos]] fits all requirements perfectly.
** Mephistopholes, who [[spoiler: was the one to steal Pandora's brother from her mother's womb, nearly get his wife--Tenma's mother--blamed and subsequently killed for the deed, and treats his son Tenma as nothing more than a pawn in his scheme to RetCon away the events of the main series.]]

* CreatorsPet: Regulus.
** Youma and Owl [[spoiler:Partita]], considering how much bonus art they receive in the back of Volumes.
** Rhadamanthys, for God's sake. His PlotArmor was thicker than in iceberg.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Pisces Albafica and Cancer Manigoldo seem to fall under this trope in Lost Canvas, compared to the original series. Pegasus Tenma might also fall under this as he's far more likeable than Seiya to some fans.
** Leo Regulus, [[spoiler:after his HeroicSacrifice]].

* AlasPoorVillain: Bennu Kagaho and Harpy Valentine.
** The Lost Canvas version of Aiacos got the lucky break of getting this without dying. Last we saw of him, Kagaho let him live his remaining days in peace.
** Also Behemoth Violate and Basilisk Sylphid.

* CompleteMonster: A fair few of them, although this troper thinks the worst one might be [[AMillionIsAStatistic Garuda Aiacos]]... until he gets a second chance (ish) thanks to Bennu Kagaho. Before that, he was [[MoralEventHorizon nasty]].
** [[AdvancingBossOfDoom Griffin Minos]] fits all requirements perfectly.

* TearJerker: [[PunctuatedEmphasis This! Is! SAINT SEIYA!]]... after all. So the torrent of ManlyTears is pretty much a given.

* TheScrappy:
** Tenma, there are a lot of fans who prefer the Original Seiya because of Tenma's Special Snowflake status [[spoiler:as being born a god-slayer in the series while the original series, Seiya worked from the ground up to be able to earn the same ability.]]
*** Alone, [[spoiler:for his Salvation Plan. Despite being labeled the purest person on the planet, their is a sizable portion of the fandom calling him more monstrous then Hades.]]

* TheWoobie: Crane Yuzuriha in the Lost Canvas Gaiden.

* TheWesley: Regulus.
** Youma and Owl [[spoiler:Partita]], considering how much bonus art they receive in the back of Volumes.
** Rhadamanthys, for God's sake. His PlotArmor was thicker than in iceberg.
