** Regarding [[spoiler: ice coffin.]] actually Camus stated that [[spoiler: even gold saint's level attack can't destroy it, Libra weapon is stronger. Libra saint is special because he has to decide right or wrong to use Libra weapon that in Athena's rank known as shouldn't be used for selfish reason, in fact Athene hate weapon.

** Well, is not as much as they openly betray her... Aphrodite though the Pope was strong enough to maintain peace by itself and that the strong have the right to rule over the weak for peace sake (base in his conversation with Shun), and if Athena was weaker than the Pope I guess that would make her unfit to rule the Sanctuary and save the world. DM is more complicated since he just didn't care. For him the strongest is the one with justice in his side: a "The Winners Write History" kind of guy. And think for a moment that Athena's army has never lost. For 13 years even with his ruthless ways of fighting he was in "the right side" but when he oppose Athena directly he lost his right as a Saint and his clothe left him, apparently that's the one line he couldn't cross. Now you have two guys who think the stronger is right so when they were defeated they finally understood that Athena's love and justice was actually the stronger force, not them, and that even the weakest (read: Bronze Saints) can win when they are in the side of true justice. Or something like that.

** According to manga Saga killed Shion right after he informed both Saga and Aiolos that the Sagittarius saint to be the next Pope. In anime according to side story that published as explanation, [[spoiler: Ares was Shion's little brother and a silver saint. There was an attempt to kill Shion by a marine pawn of poseidon, which failed and when Ares tried to investigate it he found out Saga was the one who did it. Saga at that time was in mission to keep an eye on Poseidon's army so it's wasy for him to smuggle the pawn's scale. Saga killed Ares first when the silver saint cornered him, then Saga took his place as Ares first. So in classic Shion probably was killed later, or Saga killed him in the same time as manga.]]

**As for who is the strongest saint, according to stats Kurumada himself provided in character books Shion and Dohko hold first place and second place. They were the most experienced after all. Shion according to Dohko was a perfect saint, make sense as all his stats get 5 point (the highest point)but then again there is Shaka who can win against 3 gold saints at once if not for the forbidden attack, so can't be really sure who is the strongest.

*** More like what ''Seiya'' thought she looked like, since that image was built from Seiya's memories. We get a somewhat good look in the closing episodes of the Sanctuary saga, when she lends her mask to Seiya, after he decided to snooze on Aphrodite's garden. That, added to [[OnlySixFaces Kurumada-san's style]] can give us a pretty good guess as to what she looks like.

*** Nope, Masami Kurumada is explicitly credited as the Episode G author in every single collected volume for it, right along with the artist Megumu Okada, though Okada does state in some afterwords that Kurumada lets him take much direction of the story by himself, Kurumada just leads him from time to time basically making Okada the cowriter, and unlike Lost Canvas, Kurumada doesn't declare as non-canon for his official timeline.

*** This is an AssPull from me but since Cassios was able to beat up a few of the main bronzies easily. Maybe he discovered the seventh sense and was able to travel through the secret paths at light speed?

to:

** Ok, the secret paths explanation kinda makes sense, since Cassios was a low tier EliteMook, so he might have been privy to those paths. However, the gaping plot hole of the time it takes them to get from one temple to another really JustBugsMe. The first temples, I can accept their taking so long, since they all fight, one way or another, but after Sagittarius, they were all one on one fights, therefore, the battles in Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces should have been more or less simultaneous. This was far from the case, you actually see the flames die while they're moving from temple to temple. The temples are less than ''100 meters'' away, for Seiya, who in his slowest day can move at Mach 1, and who didn't fight in any of the last temples, he should have gotten to the Pope's room with at least 2 hours to spare, and that's if he decided to take a nap on Aphrodite's roses.

**** Ok, I'll try my best here. First, This is only anime continuity so lets make that clear, in the manga Saga just kills Shion who was very old at that time and that's about it. For the anime, and taking the ''Jump Gold Selection 2'' in account, Shion just die of old age, then his brother Ares toke his place but unfortunately was killed by Saga and the corpse was many years later found by Marin in Star Hill (yeah, don't think about it too hard). In the Episode G Saga kills Shion but also has an armor that apparently is related to Ares (the Greek god?) in some way hence the nickname. And that's all I got.


Added DiffLines:

** Also in Vol 13 you can clearly see in a flashback that [[spoiler: thirteen years before most of the gold saint were kids and Saga comments that's why the successor of the Pope could only be either he (15-years-old) or Aioros (14-years-old).]]
