A WILD PLOT APPEARS -- ep 03
Apr. 16th, 2012 09:53 amFrom speedsubs again, but ei ~
Soooo this episode we get intoduced to the school (yay!), Geki (OMFG SO MUCH YAY), Yuna (overpowered arse), and Spear (jerk).
Most of the episode is taken up with Yuna, and establishing that Kouga is a rebel who don't need no sneeking rules yo. (also, the continuing saga of no one believing him that Saori is Athena, lol.)
However, we also learn the following from the school staff:
- the Palaestra says -- whether the headmaster et all believe this themselves is another issue, of course -- that Athena is in Sanctuary, in her Temple, with the Twelve Temples in the way.
- only Gold Saints can approach Athena.
- there are only two Gold Saints (in Sanctuary) ...
- ... the others are "on missions" (speedsubs said for the Palaestra, but I want to re-confirm that when Crunchyroll goes up).
Sooo why was Saori on some fucking island, and how many people if any at all know she was there? What's up with the skullduggery, and what are the Golds -- if there actually are any Golds -- up to?
Anyone else having flashbacks to the Sanctuary arc from way back when?
Also, lol Souma and his room ;3~

Seems to be following the same pattern, everyone thinks Athena is at her temple and no one believes that Saori is Athena. You'd think they would, considering Seiya is a gold and he knows who Athena is, along with the others. Unless communication just sucks in sanctuary.

Date: 2012-04-17 11:58 am (UTC)Everyone else we've seen so far has either not been in official Sanctuary-held territory (Shaina), imply that there was a schism which led to their being absent from the Saint hierarchy for a time (Geki -- who is also no longer a Saint proper), or are new characters and thus impossible to predict.
It's following the old pattern, but at the moment it's entirely possible to believe that the pattern exists -- especially if it were initially set up to hide Saori and it's degenerated over the last decade-plus.
We'll see what happens when Ryuuho is introduced next episode --
