* GreenEyedMonster: [[spoiler:Gemini Saga, while acting like a WellIntentionedExtremist, finally admits by the end that this is the last straw that made him snap: he was widely considered (by himself, even) the best Saint there is, but the Pope chose the humble Sagittarius Aeolus over him as his successor. [[StartOfDarkness Saga didn't take it well]].]]

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Upon deciding he has [[ManaDrain absorbed]] enough of Athena's cosmo, the Pope decides that he doesn't need the Gold Saints anymore and kills Pisces Aphrodite.]]

* DamselInDistress: Saori, as per tradition.

* AdaptedOut: All but one of the Silver Saints. In the original manga and anime, the Pope sends [[SortingAlgorithmOfEvil more and more]] of them as assassins to kill Saori and the Bronze Saints before they eventually decide to fight back and take the battle to Sanctuary; in the movie, the only Silver Saint he sends is Sagitta Ptolemy (the final Silver assassin to appear in the manga and anime).

* AgeLift: At least the heroes are confirmed as slightly older than their manga and anime counterparts, with Athena's rebirth having happened sixteen years ago, instead of thirteen. If the age variations between the heroes are the same as in the manga, that would make Seiya and Shun sixteen, Hyoga and Shiryu seventeen and Ikki eighteen.

* AlternateContinuity: The movie takes adapts the Twelve Temples arc of the original series, but [[AdaptationDistillation pragmatically]] and with some twists and turns.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Shiryu appears to have brown hair as opposed to his usual black.

* StellarName: Not the given names, but all Saints represent one constellation.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Cancer Deathmask, who looks even more evil with his new cloth's SpikesOfVillainy and his new BeardOfEvil.

In the movie, he was ''once'' a good man and ''then'' he became corrupted and evil, while still believing himself to be a WellIntentionedExremist at heart.]]
