History Anime / SaintSeiyaOmega

Following the relative success of ''Saint Seiya: Sanctuary Battle'', Namco Bandai announced that a game based on the show called ''Saint Seiya Omega: Ultimate Cosmo'' for the UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable. It was released on November 2012, and featured many of the characters from the anime and an original story. You can see a trailer [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAgClK3xy0g here]].

An entry in the ''Manga/SaintSeiya'' franchise, which aired from April 1st, 2012 to March 30th, 2014. It follows a new generation of Saints, and the main character is Pegasus Kouga, who seems to be very much like [[{{Determinator}} Seiya]] in terms of personality. Seiya himself also appears as a Gold Saint. Saori Kido is still present, as the goddess Athena; she also raised Kouga as a parent. She is kidnapped by the god Mars, leaving Kouga and his fellow Saints to save her. Other Saints include: Aquila Yuna, Lionet Souma, Dragon Ryuhou, Orion Eden and Wolf Haruto.

The production staff is composed of big names such as: Yoshihiko Umakoshi (character designer of ''Anime/OjamajoDoremi'', ''Anime/CasshernSins'' and ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure''), Shigeyasu Yamauchi (director of the original series), and others.

!!Tropes include:

* PositiveDiscrimination: All over the place in ''Omega'', pretty much all of the newly introduced Female Saints (Yuna, Pavlin, Sonia, Paradox) barring Yuna's friends are extremely competent in fighting prowess, intelligence or both, and in some cases they prove to be even more effective than the regular male Saints. This is even more notable with Gemini Paradox, who: might be the very first female Gold Saint ever, or at least the fist one we ''know'' of; she is also the Gold Saint who is generally seen as one of the strongest among the Gold Saints ''and'' she is Saga and Kanon's successor, two extremely strong Gold Saints in their lifetime.

Following the relative success of ''Saint Seiya: Sanctuary Battle'', Namco Bandai announced that a game based on ''Omega'' is on the works. It is known as ''Saint Seiya Omega: Ultimate Cosmo'' for the UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable. It will feature many of the characters from the anime and an original story.

** Episode 10 features the granddaddy of all [[CurbStompBattle Curb-Stomp Battles]], with a side-order of NoHoldsBarredBeatdown. [[spoiler:Team Kouga never stood a chance.]]
*** Which is brought UpToEleven when Mars decides that he wants to finish Kouga off himself. [[spoiler: It's only Seiya in all his Gold Saint glory that saves him.]]

** [[spoiler: This is also how Subaru's friend Elna gets killed. Turning his back to the KnifeNut bad guy was not the best idea.]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Among other things, Kouga has ''literally'' red hair.

* BadassMustache: Tatsumi grew one.

* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: Mars is depicted as about the same size as the moon. However, in reality, Mars is about twice the size as the moon - half the size of the Earth.

* BigGood: Well, Athena herself is a given, as usual within the franchise. However this series also the main five Bronze Saints from the classic series - now known as the Legendary Saints - featuring as this trope to a lesser degree than her. Particularly Seiya, as he has become the most powerful Saint and the paragon of righteousness among Athena's Saints (like his Sagittarius predecessor Aiolos).

* ThemeTuneCameo: In episode 56, Haruto gains an interest in rock music after hearing "Saint Evolution" on the radio.

* UnderstimatingBadassery: Comes with being a bronze (or steel) saint. In a show where the bronze saints are the main heroes and the previous main bronze saints reached a ''legendary'' status, understimate a bronze from the main (or past main) cast is stupid, to say the least.

* ActionGirl: Have the most number of these, among all the spin-offs, and most of them are as competent as men are. Among the Bronzes there are Aquila Yuna, who is the most badass Bronze ([[BadassDecay at least in season 1]]), Shaina is still around, among the Gold Saints (yes, you heard that right, there are female Gold Saint in this spin-off) there are Gemini Paradox [[spoiler: and her twin sister Gemini Integra. [[BackUpTwin They are Gemini]], what do you expect? ]] and Scorpio [[spoiler: Sonia, previously Hornet Sonia]], then each season's EliteFour at least have one female member (The Martians have Diana and the Pallasites have Gallia), and in season 2, Saori does engage in actual combat with Pallas. A satisfying spin-off for people who have been eager to see women as competent fighters in Saint Seiya franchise (the other work in the franchise to do this is ''Manga/SaintSeiyaSaintiaSho'')

Page is in desperate case of NeedsWikiMagicLove.

* CrossoverCosmology: The Greek gods are real, and apparently so is [[spoiler:the Hebrew {{God}}]], which is required by Mars' plan to re-create [[spoiler:the Tower of Babel and charging it up with loads of Cosmo from all 7 elements]]. And then [[spoiler:the ''real'' BiggerBad turns out to be Abzu, who is basically a Titan from Sumerian pantheon]].

* GenreSavvy: Pallas' soldiers from season 2 tend to analyze the situation they are into and will run away if they find themselves in disadvatanges to come back with a better tactic.

* LocationThemeNaming: The first two Gold Saints who appeared, [[CaptainObvious not including Seiya]], were named after locations in Ancient Greece.

* RoleReprisal: Creator/ToruFuruya is back as Seiya himself.

* BadassGrandpa: At 57, Tatsumi is still Saori's personal butler, carries his shinai around and scolds bratty teenagers.

* ArtifactOfDeath: It's said the Equuleus Cloth grants great powers to its wearers, but also curses them to die in the battlefield.

* ChildSoldier: The main characters' age are between 13-15 years old.
* ClothingDamage: Played for drama rather than fanservice. Your Cloth getting broken is a sure sign that a fight isn't going well for you, and overlaps with WreckedWeapon.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Due the artstyle you wouldn't say that many of the returning characters are on their mid-thirties to forty. This is a notable inverse of...
** YoungerThanTheyLook: The mantle the originals carried in their series, now belongs to the new characters. For proof... ''Haruto is only 13 years old.''

** [[spoiler:Hyoga himself later appears and give Kouga a chance to increase his power, at the risk of being frozen forever. Truely the disciple have become the master, because Hyoga himself once undergo the same treatment from his master... ''and failed''.]]
