[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin An abridged series of]] ''Manga/SaintSeiya''. But in French, therefore using the french name of the show: '''''Les Chevaliers du Zodiaque : La Série Abrégée''''' (''Knights of the Zodiac: The Abridged Series''). It is also the first French-made abridged series, and does a pretty good job at that, on top of everything being done by only one guy going by the alias of [[http://cdz-serie-abregee.over-blog.com/ StateAlchemist]]. Coincidentally, the author had a few cross-overs with the WebVideo/JoueurDuGrenier, who is pretty much a French [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd Angry Video Game Nerd]].

The series encompasses the Sanctuary saga, and spends one episode per house. All the jokes are based on CharacterExaggeration, [[IncrediblyLamePun French wordplay]] and jabs towards the Macekre-esque French localization of the show.

''Les
Chevaliers du Zodiaque : La Série Abrégée''''' (''Knights of the Zodiac: Abrégée'' ("Saint Seiya: The Abridged Series''). Series"), often referred to as "CDZA", is a French AbridgedSeries created by [=StateAlchemist=] in 2009, based on the ''Manga/SaintSeiya'' series. It holds the honor of being the [[UrExample very first French abridged series]], and is also still the most popular and well-known one among French viewers to this day.

The series focuses on the "Twelve Zodiac Temples" arc, and spans over thirteen episodes; each of
the first French-made abridged series, twelve episodes focuses on a specific Zodiac Temple, with the thirteenth and does a pretty good job at that, on top of everything being done by only one guy going by last episode concluding the alias {{story arc}} with the battle between Seiya and the Pope. Most of the humor of the series revolves around {{character exaggeration}}, [[ShoutOut pop-culture references]], jabs towards the [[{{Macekre}} French localization of the show]], and especially [[HurricaneOfPuns non-stop wordplay]].

The series ended with the release of the final episode in April 2014. Since then, [=StateAlcheimist=] has moved onto other projects, most notably a series parodying old Marvel cartoons, titled ''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGprtO4bU3WYiYA9rZG3GUA Marvel Comique]]''.

The entire series can be viewed either on

!!''Saint Seiya Abridged''/''Les Chevaliers Du Zodiaque : La Série Abrégée'' provides examples of the following tropes:

* AccidentalMisnaming: Milo of the Scorpio in his episode's ColdOpen. Seiya confuses him with [[Manga/AiShiteNight "Tristan (Satomi), of the BEE HIVE"]].
--> '''Milo''': I'm not Tristan of the BEE HIVE, I'm Milo of the Scorpion!
--> '''Seiya''': The German band?
--> *Milo uses Scarlet Needle*
--> *Opening credits*
* AGodAmI: Virgo Shaka:
--> '''Seiya''': If you're so strong, tell me, [[Film/{{Airheads}} who is the strongest between Lemmy and God?]]
--> '''Shaka''': Oh, the answer is simple. *prepares attack* Me.
** And later against Ikki:
--> '''Ikki''': Who are you anyway, some kind of WarriorMonk like in ''[[Franchise/TombRaider Tomb Raider 2]]''?
--> '''Shaka''': No, just Buddha's reincarnation.
--> *{{Beat}}*
--> '''Ikki''': [[DrugsAreBad Wow, I don't know what you're taking, but it's strong.]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: Scorpio Milo technically isn't more of a villain than his mainstream counterpart, but he is much more of a sadist and heals Hyoga mainly for the pleasure to see him suffer more at the hands of the other Saints.
* AllUpToYou: Shaka revives Ikki's cloth and sends him to aid Seiya against the Pope by his own. When Ikki asks why none of the Gold saints are coming with him, Shaka says that their self-esteem is on the ground after being defeated by five Bronze Saints.
-->'''Aldebaran:''' We really suck!
* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: Saori is very relieved when the villain finally dies.
-->'''Saori:''' Oh man, I thought he would never die, this motherf-
* AnyoneCanDie: Invoked:
--> '''Shun''': I can't believe Shiryu literally left this earth. Do you realize what this means?
--> '''Seiya''': I'm taking his room!
--> '''Hyoga''': I'm taking his girlfriend!
--> '''Shun''': No, you vultures! It means that any one of us can be killed off, even if we're the main characters!
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Ikki boasts about having survived the Island of Death, Hell and the french dub's errors.
** During his first fight with Camus, Hyoga thinks he's going to die and will finally be reunited with his loved ones: his mother, Crystal (his mentor) and... [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Muscl%C3%A9s René of Les Musclés]].
* BaitAndSwitch: Saga does one in the final episode.
--> '''Saga:''' You will witness the Gemini Saint's most powerful move, an explosive attack of galactic proportions!
--> '''Ikki:''' Oh no, he means-
--> '''Saga:''' Another Dimension!
--> '''Ikki:''' Wha-? But that's not your most powerfu- *gets hit* Aaaah! It's actually not that bad!
* TheBeard: June agreed to be Shun's while in Andromeda Island, but [[TransparentCloset Shun is not very convincing]].
* BigNo: Twice in the first episode, with the same shot of Seiya running towards the screen in SloMo while crying. He also does the same thing when saying yes between the two no's.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: The characters often comments on the bad localization of the show, the [[CanonDiscontinuity non-canonicity]] of the [[OriginalVideoAnimation OVAs]], or the author of the AbridgedSeries being late.
** Hyoga's [[TheGimmick gimmick]] was at first to do it the most often, until the author [[CharacterDevelopment caught up with his background story]].
* BrickJoke: After [[spoiler: Shun stays with Hyoga in the Libra temple to defrost him]], Seiya and Shiryu realize [[DudeShesLikeInAComa why Shun insisted so much to stay behind]] and realize that "Shun will touch Hyoga's little rabbit". Fast forward to the final episode, during the scenes where [[spoiler: Saga]] is naked, an image of a cartoon rabbit hides his crotch.
* BrokenAesop: Spoofed in the Pisces episode.
-->'''Shun:''' What about weaklings like the children, the elderly and the Silver Saints? Is the strongest always in the right?\\
'''Aphrodite:''' Yes, and I'm going to demonstrate it now!\\
'''Shun:''' That is so wrong! I'm going to prove it by beating the crap out of you!
* BuxomIsBetter: Many jokes have been derived from the golden arrow being right between Saori's breasts. In the first episode, the group (sans [[CampGay Shun]]) got distracted by it and in the last episode, Saga dies after commenting on Saori's big bosom.
-->'''Saga:''' Oh, my dear goddess, after failing to live as a saint, let me die in your arms... (''He puts his head against Saori's chest, then looks at her''). Oh, I say, it's soft, are they C cup?\\
'''Saori:''' D cup.\\
'''Saga:''' Good God, when I think I wanted to plant an arrow there.
* CampGay: Shun. It was inevitable given his costuming.
-->'''Hyoga''': Come on, we even brought a girl!
-->'''Shun''': Oh, it's more complicated than that, you know... Even when I was a kid, when I watched Manga/CandyCandy, I...
-->'''Hyoga''': Shun, I was talking about Saori.
-->'''Shun''': ...I'm blushing right now, aren't I?
* CampStraight: Pisces Aphrodite is even more effeminate than Shun, yet unlike him, he isn't gay; just metrosexual.
* CanadaEh: For some reason, Pisces Aphodite speaks with a Québec accent.
* CatchPhrase: Seiya's "Plaît-il ?"[[note]]french for "Sorry ? / Beg your pardon ?"[[/note]], which is a shoutout to the french dubbing of the original series, in which Seiya said it a lot.
* CardCarryingVillain: The Great Pope just ''loves'' to gloat about how evil and awful he is.
* CharacterExaggeration: As with every AbridgedSeries. Seiya is GoodIsDumb to the point of being TheDitz, Shiryu acts like TheAce but each and every one of his failures is emphasized by a [[LosingHorns "wha wha" music]], Shun is CampGay etc.
* ContinuityNod: Apparently, if someone says that a Gold Saint is not worthy of his armor, the armor will just take itself off. Shiryu did it with Cancer Deathmask and in ends up [[spoiler: saving his hide against Capricorn Shura]].
** When it happens again [[spoiler: against Saga, Shiryu denies having something to do with it.]]
* CrookedContractor: Mu of the Aries. He is even known in-universe for charging a lot for the repair of damaged cloths.
--> '''Aldebaran''': I know your pricings, it's going to cost me the right horn to repair the left one.
** Even Hyoga lampshades it.
-->'''Hyoga''': This must be why he could afford a full cloth made of gold.
** In the last episode, Mu only teleported Shaka and Ikki back after Shaka promises to pay him and after Saori is saved, Mu is only thinking about how much he's gonna charge to repair all the destroyed cloths.
-->''(thinking) So, 5 complete Bronze cloths, plus small usual supplements, it makes it 2000, 3000...''
* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Discussed in the final episode. After 12 hours of violent fights, the Old Master calls telepatically to the remain Gold Saints to tell them who's behind the attempted murder of Athena, and Milo asks why didn't he just tell them before this bloodbath happened.
-->'''Old Master:''' (''telepathically'') I'm 261 years, kiddo, it is good enough that I do not forget to breathe. (''pauses to then breath in panick'')\\
'''Milo:''' Okay, I understand.
* DidntSeeThatComing:
-->'''Ikki''': Don't worry, blondie. We're going to save Athena.
-->'''Shaka''': Wait, what ? Save who?
-->'''Ikki''': Athena, the goddess of warfare we all believe in.
-->'''Shaka''': The goddess of ... Holy shit guys, when you see a brother with his eyes closed praying the wrong god, you could at least tell him he's in the wrong place!
-->'''Mu''': Sorry.
-->'''Aiolia''': It was just too tempting.
-->'''Milo''': We all wanted to see how much time you'd take to notice...
* DistractedByTheSexy: Seiyar and his pals spend at least ten seconds giggling around Saori... Watching the golden arrow firmly planted between her breasts.
-->'''Saori''': Stop peeping and move it! I'm dying, damnit!
** Also, this is how the Great Pope distracts Leo Aiolia long enough to have him BrainwashedAndCrazy:
-->'''Great Pope''': [[LookBehindYou Oh, look!]] An unmasked female Saint!
-->'''Aiolia''': Uh ?! Where?
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Mu. Played for laughs since he has a gravelly voice and regularly insists that he is a man. He lampshades it at his first appearance:
--> '''Mu''': Hi kids, I am Mu, the Aries saint. And despite my character design, I am a man.
** His theme is even a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB8jwWWKhRw french song]] about [[GenderBender genderbending]].
** Tatsumi is even seduced by his female look.
--> '''Tatsumi''': Who is this charming young lady?
--> '''Mu''' (with a gravely voice): Fuck off.
--> '''Tatsumi''' (seduced): Charming, really charming!
** The ''show itself'' confused him for a girl, a few minutes later.
-->'''Foot soldier:''' Hand over the girl and nobody will be hurt.(''camera focus on Mu'') No, I mean the ''other'' one.
--> '''Mu''': Are you done yet ?!
--> '''Kiki''': I told you to grow a moustache.
* EpicFail: As a RunningGag from Shiryu, and often emphasized with "wha wha" horns.
--> *Finds himself on the opposite side of a BottomlessPit separating him from the rest of the team*
--> *wha wha horn*
--> '''Shiryu''': [[GenreSavvy I have the feeling it's going to be like this for the entire episode.]]
** Against Shura of the Capricorn:
--> '''Shiryu''': Now that I have broken your left arm, you cannot use your attack anymore!
--> *Shura rises his other arm*
--> *RecordNeedleScratch*
--> '''Shiryu''': ... Unless you use your right arm. Fuck.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim : Pisces Aphrodite.
--> '''Seiya''' : Boy or girl ?
--> '''Shun''' : Boy.
--> '''Seiya''' : Oh well, looks like [[SuddenlySexuality I switched sides]].
--> ''Later in the episode''
--> '''Seiya''' (seduced) : Good Lord, he's so pretty! He's pure EyeCandy ! If you look "magnificent" in a dictionary, there is no description, just his picture!\\
'''Shun:''' Seiya, you need to put yourself together.\\
'''Seiya:''' YoureJustJealous of our love!
** Funnily enough, [[CampGay Shun]] is utterly immune to Aphrodite's look because he looks like a girl.
* EvilGloating: The Gemini Saint and the Great Pope never zip it, making his gloating both evil and stupid. Great example after [[spoiler: he trapped Hyoga and Shun in a parallel dimension]] :
--> '''Gemini Saint''': You'll never escape this parallel dimension created by the team who made the movie Film/{{Tron}}! All your hopes are flying away... [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Oh, and Hyoga too.]] He'll drift in this dimension forever... Unless he manages to land in another of the twelve Temples, but he's gotta be a lucky son-of-a-gun for that! And you're now going to join him, Shun, like a neon pink Sputnik. Oh, by the way, it takes a little while to start, so it would be great if you don't do anything for the next 20 minutes, thank you.
* EvilIsHammy: The Great Pope, big time.
* ExtremelyShortTimespan : Hyoga vs. Camus of the Aquarius, second round.
--> '''Hyoga''' : I'm not the same as I once used to be... earlier this afternoon.
* FailedASpotCheck : All the gold saints are guilty of this, lampshaded by Aiolia:
--> '''Old master''' : The pope impersonator is actually the Gemini saint, Saga.
--> '''Aiolia''' : Saga? the gold saint who disappeared at the same time the Great Pope showed up with a different size, voice and hair color?
--> '''Old master''' : Yes!
--> '''Aiolia''' : Who would have believed that?
* FalseReassurance: "Oh, don't worry, I'll be as innocent as a new born psychopath". [[spoiler:Said by Saga's evil side]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: When Shaka redirected Ikki's MindRape tecnique, Ikki had to face the truth: His brother is a [[CampGay sissy]] who likes to watch Candy Candy.
* FridgeLogic : In-universe example.
-->'''Shiryu (to [[TheSociopath Cancer Deathmask]])''' : No, seriously, why did they give [[ObviouslyEvil you]] a gold cloth ? [[NamesTorunAwayFromReallyFast Your name is Deathmask]], [[CreepySouvenir you decorate your house with corpses]] [[EverybodyHatesHades and your attack is called the Hades Wave !]] Are those who give armors stupid or something ?
-->'''Cancer Deathmask''' : Indeed, that's a pertinent question...
* GenderBender: Discussed in episode 12. Seiya starts to ask Aphrodite something but Aphrodite responds before Seiya's even done asking that no, [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf hot water doesn't have any effect on him]].
* GenreSavvy:
--> '''Shiryu''': *while Seiya tries to call the Sagittarius cloth, thinking it will allow him to wear it while it's really pointing its arrow at him* No, Seiya, the [[OriginalVideoAnimation OVAs]] are [[CanonDiscontinuity non-canon]]
** Hyoga and his speech about hope and friendship, lampshaded by Shiryu and Seiya as "the most terrifying attack of the Shounen Manga Hero"
* GilliganCut : kind of.
--> '''Hyoga''': ''(after being hit by Milo's Scarlet Needle)'' This sting will be the last one! I carefully observed your technique, and everyone knows a same attack never work twice on a knight.
--> '''Milo''': Scarlet Needle! ''(Counter: 2)'' Scarlet Needle!! ''(Counter: 3)'' Scarlet Needle!!! ''(Counter: 4)''
--> ''(Hyoga is blown across the room and lies on the ground)''
--> '''Milo''': [[SlasherSmile Sorry]], what were you saying?
** Albiore calls Shun the worst trainee Andromeda Island ever had.
-->'''Shun:''' Oh don't exaggerate, I wasn't that bad.\\
(''cue scene of Leda beating Shun'')
* GratuitousSpanish: Shura peppers his sentences with some spanish words here and there, culminating in a magnificent "Pedazo de hijo de la gran puta!" [[note]] very roughly : "You fucking son of a bitch!"[[/note]] when [[spoiler: Shiryu tells him that the Ultimate Dragon tecnique can't be stopped.]]
* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: The heroes -[[CampGay bar Shun]]- play it often, adding "in complete frienship" at the end of every sentence they find suspicious.
--> '''Hyoga'''[[note]]talking about Shun[[/note]] : Risking his life, he stuck to me, he craddled me, he petted me, he squeezed me tight on his heart... And all this in complete friendship.
* HereWeGoAgain: The series finishes with Tatsumi informing Saori about Julian Solo inviting her to his birthday party. She accepts, [[WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong after all he sounds like a nice guy]].
* HeroesFightBarehanded: Shiryu tell a story (one of many others) that the Old Master told him about saints being forbidden to use weapons except for the Libra saint, despite Seiya and Shun naming in between fake coughs at least two Bronzes (one being Shun himself), two Silvers and a Gold saint that use weapons.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Seiya during his fight with Saga:
-->'''Saga''': Come on, Pegasus, you can't possibly be stupid enough to think you can defeat me with this attack!
-->'''Seiya''': [[IdiotHero Obviously you don't know me]]!
* HurricaneOfPuns: Most of the humour comes from french word plays that are pretty hard to translate in english. Many of the puns contained in an episode are related to the Golden Saint the episode focuses on.
* HypocriticalHumor : Seyar during a flashback.
--> '''Kid!Seyar''' : They keep on saying eastern people can't become knights and wear sacred armors ! I'm sick of those homosexual moussaka eaters and their prejudices!
* IAmYourFather: Or master in this case.
-->'''Hyoga:''' [Crystal] was my master.\\
'''Camus:''' No...''I'' am your master!\\
'''Hyoga:''' No...that's not true! ''It's impossible!''\\
'''Camus:''' Read the manga, you know it's true.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Shun accepts to take care of frozen Hyoga...and then he starts to get creepy.
* JerkassGods: Shiryu tells Shura that Saori is Athena's reincarnation who will bring peace to the world. Surely, she's a little pretentious, despotic, self-centered and because of her many fights have happened...but isn't that proof that she's a deity?
* KilledMidSentence: Shaka when Ikki [[TakingYouWithMe is about to use his self-destruct move on him]].
--> '''Shaka''': Do I at least have something to say about this? No, becau-
--> ''(atomic explosion)''
** It is also the gimmick of Ban of the Lionet, a background character (because of this, his sign and even his name are never told within the abridged series).
--> '''Jabu''': Jabu, Saint of the Unicorn!
--> '''Nachi''': Nachi, Saint of the Wolf !
--> '''Geki''': Geki, Saint of the Bear!
--> '''Ban''': And me, I am-
--> '''Jabu''': Yeah, and we'll beat you down!
* KneelBeforeZod: Parodied with Shaka and Ikki.
-->'''Shaka''': Now kneel before me!
-->'''Ikki''': You think I don't see where you're going, you disgusting pervert?
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: In the final episode, Saga explains to Seiya how he intends to use Athena's shield and staff to overthrow Hades in the Underworld, Poseidon in the Sea, and the Care Bears in the Sky.
* LastSecondChance: Shun being Shun, offers to Aphrodite one under certain conditions before he kills him with the Nebula Storm.
-->'''Shun:''' You will save Pegasus from your demonic roses...\\
'''Aphrodite:''' Yes, I'll do it myself!\\
'''Shun:''' You will join the causes of the true Athena...\\
'''Aphrodite:''' Blessed be her name!\\
'''Shun:''' You will apologize for killing Albiore...\\
'''Aphrodite:''' I'll do it over and over, I promise!\\
'''Shun:''' And finally, you will admit you resorted to plastic surgery!\\
'''Aphrodite:''' ... That, '''[[BigNever never.]]'''
* LaughablyEvil: The Great Pope. The guy might be evil, but he is also incredibly [[EvilIsHammy hammy]] and a CloudCuckooLander even by this show's standards.
* LeeroyJenkins: Invoked against Shaka of the Virgo. Shiryu and Shun try to just go around him silently while he's meditating, but Seiya just jumps him without a second thought while screaming the trope.
* MemeticLoser: In-universe example with the Silver Saints.
-->'''Seiya''': The last one arrived is a Silver Saint!
** When Aphrodite declared that [[MightMakesRight strength means justice]], Shun asks what about "the children, the elders and the Silver Saints".
* MrFanservice: Hyoga.
--> '''Shun''': *as Hyoga is thrown in a parallel dimension by the Gemini Saint* No! Hyoga, if you're gone, we won't have any female viewers anymore! [[CampGay Not that it bothers me]]. BUT STILL!
** Also, Shiryu during his fight against Shura:
-->'''Shura''': Let's please the Señoritas, shall we? (cuts Shiryu's cloth apart, leaving him shirtless. Cue a shot of fangirls squeeing histerically).
* MetaGuy: In the first episode, Hyoga was able to recognize the born of a RunningGag (Shiryu's "wha wha wha" everytime he fails something) and Kiki being comic relief.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Pisces Aphrodite's roses:
-->'''Aphrodite''' (after turning invisible): Yes, my roses allow me to do that as well... I won't lie to you, I am just as surprised about it as you are.
* NotActuallyTheUltimateQuestion: In a short video, Shun asks his companions why they are here and Seiyar starts to answer philosophically.
* NothingCanStopUsNow: Near the end of episode 12, The Pope has a very good (and hilarious) monologue about how, with the Bronze saints dead and Athena joining them soon, the sanctuary is his now. [[SpannerInTheWorks Cue Marin]], showing up in the stinger.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: The Great Pope[=/=]Saga spends most of the series doing few things beside [[OrcusOnHisThrone sitting on his throne]], ChewingTheScenery and [[EvilGloating gloating about how evil and diabolical he is]]. When Seiya actually get to him, however, he [[CurbStompBattle easily makes both him and Ikki bit the dust]].
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Shiryû, when a picture of him sleeping next to Kiki pops up at the end of the first episode.
--> '''Shiryû''': I Uh... This image is taken out of context!
* ObviouslyEvil: Deathmask. Lampshaded, by Shiryu, as seen in the FridgeLogic entry.
** Also lampshaded with the Great Pope:
-->'''Ikki''' (To Shaka): Why does someone like you serves someone as malevolent as the Great Pope?
-->'''Shaka''': Oh, so ''just'' because he [[TheDreaded terrorizes men and women]], [[MalevolentMaskedMan wears a creepy mask]] and [[EvilLaugh ends all his sentences with a sardonic laugh]], that makes him evil? ({{Beat}}) Well, sure, when you put it that way.... O, forget it!
* OhCrap: From Saga in the last episode.
--> '''Saga''': What does it changes ? You're just one of the Knights of the Zodiacs. You'll never defeat an anime BigBad like me.
--> '''Saori''': That's your mistake, Saga. Because the Original version is named ... Manga/SaintSeiya !
--> '''Saga''' : Manga/SaintSeiya ? But then that means he's ... TheHero ?
--> '''Ikki''': Okay ! [[ThemeMusicPowerUp Music please]] *cue Pegasus Fantasy playing in the background*
--> '''Saga''': I ain't gonna lie, [[ThisIsGonnaSuck I'm ''way'' less arrogant now !]].
** Actually, many Gold Saints have one, better examples being Shura and Aphrodite.
* OhCrapFakeout: Shaka does one during his fight with Ikki.
* OnlySaneMan: Hyoga and Shiryû have shades of it. ''Shades''.
* PedophilePriest: Defied by the Great Pope's [[spoiler:good self]] when he invokes this trope as the reason he can't escort Seiya to the autel of Athena.
-->"I would come with you, but if the new spreads that a clerk escorted a 14-years-old boy in a holy place, tongues will wag again."
* PreMortemOneLiner: Shun's "Who sows the winds will reap the storm...Nebula Storm!".
* PsychopathicManchild: The Pope verges between this and ForTheEvulz. The reason why he killed Shun's master ? [[spoiler: He refused to come to his birthday party.]]
* {{Pun}}: Ripe with them. They're all in French, so they're pretty hard to translate correctly, but one of the easiest is:
--> '''Shiryu''': Knight of the Cancer, you make me sick!
--> '''Cancer Deathmask''': [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore Oh yeah, nobody ever told me that one.]]
* SoftspokenSadist: Milo, when he isn't getting hammy with his Scarlet Needle.
--> '''Milo''': Yes, I let you live so you can face thousands of horrors, endure a thousand of pains, see your loved ones die in front of you one by one and finally, die a horrible and painful death. Isn't it... Exciting? *Beat*\\
'''Hyoga''': ...Sadist.\\
'''Milo (with an amused voice)''': *chuckle* Yeah, I know.
* ShoutOut: To Franchise/TombRaider, Manga/{{Naruto}}, Manga/OnePiece, Manga/AiShiteNight, Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly, and many, many more...
* ShutUpHannibal: Ikki delivers a particularly epic one to Shaka after suffering an attack intended to send him in Hell:
-->'''Shaka''': So, my friend, in which Hell did you fall?
-->'''Ikki''': In the ''shut the Hell up''! ([[TalkToTheFist attacks him]])
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Seiya is called "Seiyar" like in the French dub of the series. The original dubbers probably felt a name ending in "a" was too girly.
--> '''Shaka''' : Let's open the Six Realms of the Mepensi... Me... Er, wait- of the Metspems... Oh, screw it! Let's open the Six Realms!
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Lampshaded by the Old Master's speech in Episode 13, where he mentions how the Gold saints shall rise again and take over the [[Manga/SaintSeiyaTheLostCanvas subsecuential]] [[Manga/SaintSeiyaEpisodeG spin-off]] [[Anime/SaintSeiyaSoulOfGold series]] and most of the merchandise.
* StayingAlive: The saints are going through the 12 houses not in order to get the pope to heal Saori but to avenge her death. She keeps insisting that she's ''not'' dead. despite appearing in all their near-deah experiences.
** The Pope[=/=][[spoiler:Saga]] just keeps breathing, even after a combinated energy attack.
-->'''Milo:''' Oh, who is this guy? [[Videogame/MetalGearSolid Liquid Snake]]?
* StockFootage: Mocked during the fight between Seiya and Saga:
-->'''Seiya''': [[CallingYourAttacks PEGASUS RECYCLED ANIMATION!]]
* StrictlyFormula: Lampshaded by Aphrodite when Shun awakes his seventh sense.
-->'''Aphrodite:''' What is this cosmos worthy of a Barbie doll? Wait, you're dying, your cloth is destroyed, we're approching the end of the episode...(''Shun activates seventh sense'') [[OhCrap *scream*]]
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Used by the Pope during the flashback about Aioros and Athena escape.
--> '''Pope''': Help! Guards! There's a traitor in the Sanctuary and I swear it's not me!
* TakingYouWithMe: Ikki does that to Shaka:
--> '''Shaka''': Uh, wait, stay Zen! if you continue, you're gonna blow up!
--> '''Ikki''': That's the idea!
--> '''Shaka''': Oh, okay then. WHAT?!
* TalkToTheFist : Camus to Hyoga, in his house, closing an [[SpaghettiWestern Ennio Morricone montage]].
--> '''Camus''': [[Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly When you have to fight, fight, don't talk]].
* TemptingFate:
** Seiya does this when leaving Saga's good side behind:
-->'''Seiya''': And don't you ''dare'' turn evil while I have my back turned!
** Saga himself does it later:
-->'''Saga''' (having just defeated Ikki): And now, I will just kill Pegasus, who couldn't have possibly seized the occasion to... (notices Seiya is gone) [[{{Angrish}} SON OF A BITCH]]! WHERE DID HE GO?!
** Hooray, Shun has the Andromeda Cloth and can reunite with his brother again; sure their reunion would be a warm and non-violent reunion.[[note]]If you know the plot, Ikki's introducted as a villain[[/note]]
* TransparentCloset: Shun. He tries to act straight, but fools no one.
-->'''Shun's Master''': I was referring to your secret about your incredibly powerful cosmos.
-->'''Shun''': Oh, sorry! I thought you mean my secret about me being gay!
-->'''Shun's Master''': Is that supposed to be a secret?
* StrangerBehindTheMask: Played for laugh with the Great Pope:
-->'''Seiya''' (after the Great Pope's DramaticUnmask): Oh my God! You are someone we never saw before! You bastard, you hide your game well- Ee, Wait! You are someone we never saw before?!
-->'''Great Pope''': Yeah, I don't get either why the writers were so obsessed with hiding my face until the finale. I mean, do I have something in my teeth, or what?
* UnexplainedRecovery: Played for laugh with Shaka.
-->'''Mu''': Shaka?! Didn't you get atomized?
-->'''Shaka''': Yeah, but I got better.
* UnhandThemVillain : Seiya, when facing Aldebaran of the Taurus [[note]] the original conversation is in French, thus the expressions are not exactly the same[[/note]]
--> *Seiya is lying on the ground, while Aldebaran towers him*
--> '''Seiya''': Put the foot down!
--> *Aldebaran tries to crush him under his foot*
--> '''Seiya''': You didn't have to take it litterally! :[[note]] there's another pun in french, by the way[[/note]]
* [[VillainsOutShopping Villains Out Drowning]]: During a violent storm, Mu looks at the Pope's temple and wonders "what evil schemes the Pope is planning". Cut to a shot of the Pope slowly submerging himself into his bathtub with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TOkKttTkpo the drowning music from Sonic]].
--> '''Pope''' *In a panicked tone*: Help, we're being flooded! I'm drowning, I'm blblblblbl-
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Seiya abandons Shiryu at the House of Cancer at the mercy of Deathmask.
-->'''Seiya:''' (''running out'') Don't worry Shiryu, I will avenge your death!
-->(''{{Beat}}'')
-->'''Shiryu:''' I need to find myself better friends.
* YaoiFangirl:Meta example. The boys are concious that, after the infamous Libra house scene, the amount of female viewers skyrocket thanks to the fujoshis. So you can imagine how they all reacted at Hyoga telling Shun they're BetterAsFriends [[HeterosexualLifePartners with friendship]].
-->'''Seiya and Shiryu:''' Bye chicks.
