Villains

    Cassios 

Voiced By: Banjo Ginga (JP), Maurice Dean Witt (DiC EN), Matt Culpepper (ADV EN), Andrew Love (Sentai/Netflix EN), Herman López (LA Spanish)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PP041-Cassios_7534.jpg

A pupil of Shaina and one of the main contenders for the Pegasus Cloth, which he loses to Seiya. He mostly serves as Shaina's right hand man.


  • Adaptational Badass: In the anime version, he is able to defeat both Shiryu and Shun without any trouble, nor any Cloth. Also, he fought Aiolia till the end and even holding him for a while (implying he awakens his Cosmo), going as far as Taking the Bullet for Seiya, instead of killing himself like in the manga.
  • Anti-Villain: Cassios is no saint, pun intended, but compared to some of the more gruesome villains he's more or less just an angry thug; As shown when he throws his life away for Shaina's sake and saves both Seiya and Aiolia when his strength is put in the right direction.
  • Ax-Crazy: In the manga version, he collected the severed heads of his opponents, and was planning on doing the same thing with Seiya.
  • Badass Normal: Cassios is strong enough to fight Saints if they are not invested fully in the fight, as Shun and Shiryu learn. He wasn't a candidate for the Pegasus armor for nothing.
  • Adaptational Nice Guy: Downplayed. He is still pretty sadistic in the anime. But at least he didn't kill his defeated opponents, nor he collected his heads, as he did in the manga.
  • The Brute: He has no special techniques, only brute force. Adverts most of the nastier aspects after his defeat at Seiya's hands, and cares for a wounded Shaina, going as far as to save the object of her love, even though he hates Seiya.
  • Dumb Muscle: Didn't even know about Cosmo when he fought Seiya the first time. Seiya even called him dumb.
  • Ear Ache: Got his cut by Seiya during their fight for the Pegasus Cloth.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He truly cared for his Sexy Mentor Shaina.
  • Gonk: Cassios isn't exactly a pretty man and Seiya disfiguring him further didn't help either.
  • Go Out with a Smile: He dies content after accomplishing his Heroic Sacrifice.
  • Hellish Pupils: Early on they make him look even more sinister.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: He takes Seiya's place and dies during the fight with Leo Aiolia, in order to wake Aiolia from the control of Saga's Imperial Phantasm Fist. Not for Seiya, mind you, but to avoid Shaina the pain of losing the man she loved.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Again, he sacrifices his life to save Seiya from a Brainwashed and Crazy Leo Aiolia, not to save Seiya (because Cassios loathes him) but because he knows Shaina loves Seiya and thus would be hurt if Seiya died.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: When he first fought Seiya, he liked to threaten him with taking apart his limbs bit by bit, and offered to start with his ear. That very same fight it's he who loses his ear to Seiya.
  • Mauve Shirt
  • Monstrosity Equals Weakness: He has enormous physical strength and stamina to match his huge body, but due to not having mastered the use of Cosmo, in the end he's less powerful than an actual Saint.
  • Muscles Are Meaningless: Because Cosmo is everything; with him in particular this is very relative, as he is strong enough to kick Shun and Shiryu's asses to try and keep them away from fighting Aiolia, showing that he is more than capable of fighting Saints if they are caught unaware. Also, Aiolia's punches can flatten forests and any normal person would have been atomized by his attacks, yet Cassios was still able to briefly hold him back.
  • Not Drawn to Scale: He gets pretty big at times during the first episode. When the twelve Houses arc rolled around they found a more realistic height.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: In the beginning, he mocks Seiya for his Japanese heritage, saying that only Greeks should be able to inherit the Cloths. To be fair, quite a few of the other Saints in the beginning also expressed this opinion.
  • Teens Are Monsters: Despite being merely 15, in the manga version he already killed many of his opponents, and collected their heads, as a serial-killer.
  • Undying Loyalty: To Shaina.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: He tossed Shiryu and Shun around like ragdolls, and was briefly able to restrain Aeolia (a Gold Saint himself) in a bearhug to prevent him from beating up Seiya, but he never mastered Cosmo and thus, never learned any techniques that make use of it, so he loses his life to Aeolia in the end. And to be completely fair, Shiryu and Shun had only just recently finished their own encounters with Gold Saints and were likely still tired. Shiryu in particular had his soul torn out twice.
    • The anime implies he awakens his Cosmo to hold Aiolia back even just a little longer, if the white aura of energy around his body can be trusted.
  • Younger Than He Looks: Despite looking like a mature old man, turns out is merely 15.

    Jaki (Anime Only
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sanctuarydesigner-bc139-jaki2_4641.jpg

Voiced by: Masaharu Sato (JP), John Gremillion (ADV EN)

A former apprentice who was cast down as a candidate for saint for his violent tendencies and penchant for murder.

  • Ax-Crazy: He loves violence. His cruelty is the reason for his failure to become a Saint.
  • The Brute: Has an enormous strength. Also acts as a Foil to Cassios, who shows far more humanity and noble qualities by the time Jaki appears.
  • Disney Villain Death: He dies after falling off a cliff.
  • Everyone Has Standards: On the receiving end: Saints are notoriously ruthless Combat Pragmatists, with their ranks including the likes of Cancer Deathmask... But this guy was rejected.
  • Filler Villain: An anime-only character that fights Marin in the middle of the Twelve Temples arc.
  • Foil: He's pretty much Cassios without redeeming traits: both are huge, muscular and brutal, but while at least Cassios has a heart and genuinely wants to conquer the Cloth of Pegasus, Jaki is a monster who's only in for the kill and doesn't even give a crap about becoming a Saint, as long as he can maim and kill.
  • Good Scars, Evil Scars
  • Giant Mook: A former Saint apprentice who failed to achieve his goal.
  • Loves the Sound of Screaming

    Gigars (Anime Only
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PP181-Giggard2_5644_922.jpg

Voiced by: Masaharu Sato (JP), John Gremillion (ADV EN)

Gigars is Pope Arles' second-in-command.

  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: When Gigars sees that Ikki has killed the Fire Saint, he and the guards who accompanied him sanctuary run away. Since then, he disappeared and was never seen again.
  • The Dragon: Gigas was at first the personal adviser and chief of staff to the Pope Arles, commanding and directing the missions of the Saints of Sanctuary of Athena.
  • Evil Chancellor: Has a quite high position, and a nasty disposition.
  • Evil Mentor: To Phaeton.
  • Eyepatch of Power: It's actually a freaking diamond.
  • Filler Villain: He and Phaeton appear only in the anime.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: He disappears from the series after the Fire Saint is defeated.
  • You Have Failed Me: Explicitly fears this after the Crystal Saint is defeated, and takes matters in his hands, going to Japan with his protégé, the Fire Saint. His failure leads him to not come back to the Sanctuary and disappear forever, in fear for his life.

    Ohko (Anime Only

Voiced By: Kazuhiko Inoue (JP), Scott Rudy (ADV EN), Marcos Patiño (LA Spanish)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PP151-Ohko_9096.jpg

Ohko is a former pupil of Libra Dohko and Shiryu's former sparring partner. He was rejected by Dohko due to his violent ways.


  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Grew up to become this, after the loss of his parents and the rejection from his former master.
  • Animal Motifs: Tiger.
  • Anti-Villain: He's not really evil, just very violent and seeking rivals to crush and become a stronger fighter. Despite his ways, Ohko still keeps some standards, as he proves it when he rescues Shunrei after she almost drowns in the Rozan waterfalls (Shiryu was unable to save her due to being blind at the time). He challenges Shiryu to a duel to the death, but when he learns Shiryu has become blind, he keeps it fair by blindfolding himself because he truly wants to defeat Shiryu honorably. When he still loses to Shiryu, he admits Shiryu was the stronger fighter after all and as he lays down agonizing from their fight, he asks the Dragon Saint to keep fighting for the sake of those he loves.
  • Blood Knight: He felt impotent and unable to do anything the day his parents were killed by some bandits. Ever since then, he became obsessed with power to become stronger, and as he grew up as a fighter he would turn to a life of violence, seeking out thugs and any other strong people he could challenge.
  • Cain and Abel: In the childhood friends sense, the Cain to Shiryu's Abel.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: As he reveals it to his former master Dohko, Ohko's parents were killed by bandits when he was just a little child. He was then taken in by Dohko as a disciple, but he became obsessed with fighting and becoming a stronger warrior and soon, he was rejected by the old master, turning into a violent wanderer challenging fighters here and there.
  • Deceptive Disciple: Played straight with he and Libra Dohko. Though Ohko was more of a JerkAss than anything. Even then, Dohko accepts him as a disciple again after his final fight versus Shiryu.
  • Delinquent: He was quite powerful, but he had a violent temper, breaking Dohko's rules and seeking fights with whoever he could.
  • Died in Your Arms Tonight: Shiryu's. Before dying, the hatred that Ohko held for the one who prevented him from becoming a Saint disappeared, and the brother-like affection for him returns. So he dies more or less in peace in Shiryu's arms, asking him to go on forward.
  • Dub Name Change: Demetrios in italian's dub. An offline quote from Dohko also implies that he's not native to China, but moved in.
  • Filler Villain: Appears in two anime-only episodes.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red to Shiryu's blue.
  • The Rival: To Shiryu for the Dragon's Cloth.
  • Tiger Versus Dragon: Played straight, his animal motif is a tiger and he fights Shiryu whose own motif is a dragon.

    Phaeton (Anime Only
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/SanctuaryDesigner-BC113-Phaeton2_4276.jpg

Voiced by: Hirohiko Kakegawa (JP), John Swasey (ADV EN)

Gigars' second-in-command and eventual successor.

  • Evil Redhead: Has red hair.
  • Filler Villain: He and Gigars appaer only in the anime.
  • No-Nonsense Nemesis: When he's put in charge of recovering the Gold Cloth helmet, his first move is to send in Lizard Misty, a fighter so respected that Shaina stopped demanding she was sent the moment she heard because it was obvious he'd come back triumphant, and then gave him back-up in the form of the almost as formidable Marin and Centaurus Babel and the almost unbeatable duo of Cetus Moses and Hound Asterion (a mind reader), just to stay on the safe side. Deconstructed when Marin's betrayal and the arrival of the Steel Saints cause everyone else to die, as the only Silver Saint of comparable power is Shaina and he has no authority over the Gold Saints.
  • Spell My Name With An S: Also known as Bhaton.
  • Smug Snake
  • The Unreveal: Is never stated if he is a Saint or not, but he does wear some metal accessories, and has some fighting ability.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Disappears after the Sanctuary's battle.

    Little Helen (Anime Only
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/SanctuaryDesigner-BC089-Helene_2027.jpg

Voiced By: Masako Miura (JP), Allison Norman (ADV EN)

A girl who lives with her grandfather close to the volcano where Ikki dwells to recover.

  • Break the Cutie: Poor little girl has it rough. Surprisingly, she manages to bounce back and get better.
  • Girlish Pigtails: Her hairstyle.
  • Heroic By Stander: Being near Ikki when he's recovering makes her a target of Shiva and Agora. She manages to hold on.
  • The Ingenue
  • Innocent Blue Eyes: Has blue eyes.
  • Plucky Girl: This is the girl who, after helplessly watching her grandfather's murder at the hands of Shiva and Agora and being thrown alive inside a burning volcano, manages to hold on the burning rock walls and climb her way up, which gives a dying Ikki his Heroic Resolve back.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Tries to deal it to Shiva and Agora. It backfires.

    Miho 

Voiced by: Naoko Watanabe (1986-1989 JP), Takako Okoshi (2005-2008 JP), Ayumi Iizuka (DiC EN), Sasha Paysinger (ADV EN), Avery Smithhart (Sentai/Netflix EN)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PP071-Miho_2321.jpg

A childhood friend of Seiya and the caretaker of the orphanage where both her and Seiya grew up.


  • All Love Is Unrequited: Poor girl doesn't even get to tell Seiya her feelings proper before she and the orphanage are unceremoniously chucked out of the narrative.
  • Betty and Veronica: She's the Betty to Saori's Veronica, being Seiya's childhood Friend. Keep in mind, Seiya has only been ship teased with both girls.
  • Dub Name Change: "Lania" in Italian.
  • Girlish Pigtails: Her hairstyle.
  • Nice Girl: Is really patient with the children at the orphanage.
  • Out of Focus: When she was first introduced, she and Seiya knew each other well, and even had a bit of Ship Tease due to her one-sided crush on Seiya. By the time the Hades arc rolls around and she's finally referenced again, Seiya can only remember the poor girl as that little girl he made cry one time when he stomped in the flowers. Even when the panel itself had her with a nametag.
  • Team Mom: She chose to stay at the orphanage she was raised in and became this to the children there. The anime had her in the vicinity of three troublesome kids most of the time she was given some screen, plus she explains to Seiya that she's good with kids so she voluntarily asked the director if she could work for the place.
  • Tsundere: When she was young.
  • Shy Blue-Haired Girl: Has blue hair and is very shy.
  • Unlucky Childhood Friend: To Seiya.

    Mitsumasa Kido 

Voiced By: Kohei Miyauchi (JP), Katsuhisa Houki (2019 Knights of the Zodiac JP), Neil Crone (DiC EN), Marty Fleck (Both ADV and Sentai/Netflix EN)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PP021-Mitsumasa-Kido_591.jpg
The mysterious head of the Graad Foundation, Mitsumasa Kido is a Japanese multimillionaire who adopted Saori Kido as his granddaughter and a multitude of children that wound up growing up to be the Saints of Athena.

  • Abusive Parents: Considering that the Bronze Saints are his biological kids (manga) or his pupils (anime), the Training from Hell he made them go through qualifies as abusive for sure.
  • The Chess Master: He is the head of the Graad Foundation and used it to find his large number of children (or locate and pretty much abduct a just as large number of orphan boys) that, in the future, become the Bonze Saint and Athena's protectors.
  • Dub Name Change: To keep up with Saori Kido becoming "Lady Isabel" and Tokyo itself being "New Luxor", Mitsumasa Kido is renamed "Alman of Thule" in the Italian version of the anime.
  • Kansas City Shuffle: In the manga, he changes the appearance of the Sagittarius Cloth on purpose, to the point that the Silver Saints think it is a fake.
  • Karma Houdini: Sacrifices his own children, gets to die of old age before any of them could make him bleed for it.
  • Pet the Dog: For all that he mistreated the Bronze Saints, at least he raised Saori to be respectful of them and scolded her for treating them like slaves.
  • Really Gets Around: In the manga, he fathered all those young Saints to different women.
  • Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: He holds the Galactic Tournament and reveals the Saints to the world, much to the cringe of Sanctuary. They don't take it well.
  • Secret-Keeper: He keeps hidden that Saori was the reincarnation of Goddess Athena, who reincarnates in a human being every 200 years.
  • Unrelated in the Adaptation: In the anime all the Bronze Saint kids are his adopted children. In the manga, he was really their biological father, a fact which drives Ikki in particular pretty mad.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: He arranged for a bunch of boys (either his biological sons or helpless orphans, depending on the version) to be subjected to lots of abuse and Training from Hell, because he sincerely believed that it'd help to save the world.
    • The anime shows that he was very aware that the boys would suffer horribly and wasn't happy with the idea itself, such as when he tells Saori about the boys' future as her Saints and tells her to treat them well when they return.
    • Even in the manga, when Saori reveals herself as Athena, a flashback shows he had the horrible realization that he will have to sacrifice the children, and bear their hatred for it. But he still did it.

    Natassia 

Voiced by: Akiko Tsuboi (JP), Robin Terry (ADV EN), DorothéeJemma (FR)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/SanctuaryDesigner-BC045-Natassia_4597.jpg

Natassia was Cygnus Hyoga's mother who perished after her ship sank in the Arctic Ocean, leaving the ship stranded from the thick icy surface. She is the main reason Hyoga became a Saint.


    Seika 

Voiced by: Yuriko Yamamoto (1986-1989 JP), Satsuki Yukino (2008 JP), Shelley Calene-Black (ADV EN)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PP061-Seika_9810.jpg

Seika is Pegasus Seiya's elusive older sister, whose disappearance plagues Seiya. Seika was forcibly separated from Seiya once the boy was taken by the Graad Foundation.


  • Break the Cutie: After that her brother Seiya was taken away from her.
  • Cool Big Sis: To Seiya and Miho.
  • Easy Amnesia / Identity Amnesia: She had lost his memory immediately after arriving in Greece, following the footsteps of his brother and falling into a ravine.
  • Identical Stranger: Played with. Throughout the story, it's heavily implied that Eagle Marin may be Seika in disguise due to common physical traits (same age, build, hair shape and color), but it's not until the Hades Arc that it's confirmed that this is not the case, as Marin herself discovers the amnesiac Seika living in a village close to the Sanctuary.
  • Living MacGuffin: The pursuit of her is the main reason why Seiya became a Saint, as well as why he initially allied himself with Saori.
  • Waif Prophet: What she became with time.

    Shunrei 

Voiced by: Yumiko Shibata (1986-1989 JP), Eriko Sato (2002 JP), Ai Bando (2005-2015 JP), Haruka Terui (2019 Knights of the Zodiac JP), Kim Prause (ADV EN), Hilary Haag (Sentai/Netflix EN)

    Tatsumi Tokumaru 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PP031-Tatsumi_7968.jpg

Voiced By: Yukitoshi Hori (1986-2002 JP), Hisao Egawa (2018 Saintia Sho/2019 Knights of the Zodiac JP), Andrew Pifko (DiC EN), Ron Howald (ADV EN), Ty Mahany (Sentai/Netflix EN)

Tatsumi is Mitsumasa Kido and later Saori Kido's personal butler. He is the executor of the Graad Foundation in Saori's absence.

  • Battle Butler: He is apparently good at kendo. Not that it does him any good in a show where superpowered boys are the rule.
  • Butt-Monkey: He always tries to be strong and protect Saori but even the Sanctuary soldiers can defeat him. Is the series' comic relief.
  • The Dog Bites Back: Ikki comes back six years after the huge beatdown Tatsumi gave him, and after his fiery entrance he makes a vow before the crowd to make him pay for what he's done. And he fills it right there.
  • Characterization Marches On: He starts as a rather flat and downright abusive retainer for the future Saints, later develops as a man who was honor-bound to protect Saori (while still being rather unpleasant to the saints), and ultimately was the series' comic relief.
  • Demoted to Comic Relief: As the series advances, his role in the story gets reduced to this.
  • Dub Name Change: As with his masters, he forgoes the Japanese name in the Italian Dub and is simply called "Myloc".
  • Dumb Muscle: He's pretty strong and will fight for Miss Saori even if the odds are stacked against him, but not too smart.
  • Good Is Not Nice: He was rather cruel and abusive towards the saints during their childhood.
  • Improvised Weapon: Readies himself with a Kendo suit and shinai for the journey to the Sanctuary. Lampshaded in the Italian dub, where, since Kendo at the time of airing wasn't widely known, he's not even sure about what he has found, but he thinks it looks intimidating.
  • Karma Houdini: The fact that Tatsumi hasn't been tortured to death by the same Saints he abused as children is nothing short of a miracle.
  • Kick the Dog: Beats young Ikki pretty bad by tying him upside-down with a kendo stick and kept telling him that his sacrifice of going to Death Queen Island doesn't matter since Shun was going to an even worse place.
  • Jerkass: He brutally abused the kids at first, specially Ikki.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: But he genuinely cared for Saori, whom he helped raise after Mitsumasa Kido's death.
  • My Master, Right or Wrong: Follows Mitsumasa Kido and later Saori Kido through the 100 orphan controversy and when the Sanctuary was going after Saori for being a False Athena.
  • Oh, Crap!: His reaction when he sees Ikki really survived Death Queen Island.
  • Secret-Keeper: Always knew that Saori was Athena, and kept his mouth shut per Kido's instructions.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: He started the series being an abusive jerk, he develops a more likeable personality towards the saints as the series advances.
  • Would Hurt a Child: While he probably wouldn't hit a 100% civilian kid, he sure applies lots of Corporal Punishment to the Graad Foundation boys who, in his view, stepped out of line. And then, the boy he "disciplined" the most returned...
