History Headscratchers / SaintSeiyaOmega

* Well, having [[AssKickingEqualsAuthority Ionia]] on his side must have helped a little, since everyone knew how much of PsychoSupporter and LoveMartyr he was for Athena. Nobody would expect a FaceHeelTurn from him, even if [[spoiler: done in the name of Athena herself]].

It seems Omega's writing staff simply do not know how Saints and their senses work, or TheyJustDidntCare. It was always commented upon that Cosmo energy is basically the 6th, 7th and 8th senses, the first five is not important to a true Cosmo enlightened Saint, in fact, that's how Ikki achieved his 7th sense by having Shaka block all of his 5 others. In Omega we have Shiryu, a Saint of Legend as the series describe him and his friends, who apparently lost his 5 senses in battle, possibly against Mars, and the series treats him as if he became a vegetable. Shiryu can't see, can't feel, can't smell, can't hear, can't talk/taste, that's really bad, but that doesn't imply he can't move thus still being able to fight like usual, he should actually be stronger if any else by having those "five hindrances" removed; in short terms, I can't see how losing 5 senses makes him a cripple in his world.

* I think another reason why they would have Shiryu lose all 5 of his senses in the show is because if you look behind the scenes, the original seiyuu for Shiryu died and since the production company brought back Seiya's, Shaina's, and Tatsumi's voices from the OG series, it probably wouldn't feel right to have Shiryu being voiced by another seiyuu since some people did not like how the cast was TheOtherDarrin 'd from Inferno onwards from the Hades Chapters. Unless they find someone that sounds like HirotakaSuzuoki to voice Shiryu, it's most likely that it will be a while until we see our beloved Dragon Saint back in action once more.

** Considering both Nachi and Ban (Lionet Saint) were just [[SatelliteCharacter Satellite Characters]], it kinda makes sense that they were easily forgotten.

** Not so much steal as reclaim, since Shiryu can't actually use the cloth and we know cloths are semi sentient; the cloth went to a new user who can actually wear it. Those born under the sign of Libra are thought to be the best judges and the most fair; and in order for a cloth to refuse a bearer that person has to be blatantly evil and twisted. A casual "I'm siding with the winners" stance is not enough for the cloth to refuse a new bearer.

This one goes back to how much Omega differs from the original series. So, we know the whereabouts of some of the original Saints who have passed on their Clothes to this new generation, like Seiya and Shiryu. But what about other previously established characters whose Clothes are being used by a new Saint and whose current whereabouts (or even very existences) weren't even acknowledged? [[spoiler: It gets even weirder in Haruto's case, as he's not even the first one to inherit Nachi's Wolf Cloth, taking after Yoshitomi.]]

So, why exactly was Seiya the only one among the five original Bronze Saints who got promoted to Gold Saint? All of them (taking the original series as reference, for how much Omega differs from it is unclear) have shown to be just as brave, powerful and worthy of inheriting the Gold Cloths as he was. And yet he was the only one ascended to Gold in the Saint hierarchy.

* While they all appeared as Bronze Saints in Shun's memories, that doesn't necessarily mean they weren't promoted later. [[spoiler: Shiryu was pretty much confirmed as the Libra Saint when he lent the Libra Sword to Ryuho, as only Athena and the Libra Gold Saint can authorize the use of weapons. Genbu stole the Cloth from him, but we'll see how that works out]].

** One could argue that all saints that knew of Mars true intentions are now [[spoiler: serving as a living battery to Babel Tower]], and the remaining are either aware of Mars intentions and work with him willingly or he used the influence of the recent "kidnapping" of Aria (the fake Athena) and framing them of traitors since no one save for one or two Saints are aware that Saori Kido IS Athena (creating a subtle nod to the Sanctuary Arc in the original).

* It's sounds more like a case of MyDadCanBeatUpYourDad since Geki never had a low opinion of him and if anyhting, it was more the younger Saints who constantly call this on Souma.

* I think another reason why they would have Shiryu lose all 5 of his senses in the show is because if you look behind the scenes, the original seiyuu for Shiryu died and since the production company brought back Seiya's, Shaina's, and Tatsumi's voices from the OG series, it probably wouldn't feel right to have Shiryu being voiced by another seiyuu since some people did not like how the cast was TheOtherDarrin 'd from Inferno onwards from the Hades Chapters.

!!!Losing 5 Senses = Being counted as useless/unactive for combat; since when?
