Atomic destruction

"Eagle Marin to Pegasus Seiya"

- Episode 1: A New Era of Heroic Legends.

Atomic destruction refers to the ability of destroying atoms, which has been shown by nearly every warrior in the many incarnations of Saint Seiya, starting with the original series.

Concept
Atomic destruction is very well known among saints and other groups that need to train each new generation, and consists in the destruction of atoms. As atoms form everything from a person's body, to the air, the water, the light, and everything else in the known Universe, the ability is highly versatile. The destruction caused by this ability doesn't "break" the atoms, instead destroying them completely. Contrary to this traditional definition, however, in the Poseidon Arc, when Pegasus Seiya affirms that, in order to destroy the Main Support Pillar of Atlantis, the bronze saints needed to separate the atoms of the structure.
