Gemini Saga

Gemini Saga (双子座のサガ, Jemini no Saga)

Personality and background
Saga disguised himself as the Pope and was the first Gold Saint that Masami Kurumada introduced in his manga along with Leo Aiolia, although their rank wasn't revealed until later volumes. In his first appearance, Saga presided the event in which Pegasus Seiya acquired the status of Saint. In the anime adaptation, he was introduced in identical manner, in episode 1.

Saga managed to treacherously put himself in control of the Sanctuary for many years after killing Pope Shion, the original Grand Pope of Sanctuary by stealing his identity.

Saga is often described by other characters as someone with the kindness of an angel but with the darkness of a demon. This ambivalence ended up creating a split personality: a good Saga that was extremely loyal to Athena and an evil one that keeps control of the body most of the time and killed the previous Pope to steal his place. When it takes control of Saga's body, his hair turns from blond to jet-black (the color schemes were altered for the anime, in which Saga's normally blue hair turned light grey). Saga's two "sides", can also communicate between them : in a dialogue the good Saga reproaches his evil "side" to have forced him to hurt Athena.

Before the twelve houses
Before the Sanctuary Saga, Saga was one of the most beloved men of Greece, in fact, a favorite of the Pope after Aiolos. When he becomes patriarch, he is considered almost a god (this is seen more in the manga section 7).

He is one of the first Gold Saints of his generation (without considering Dohko Libra and Aries Shion), always a wonderful, kind and generous person. Only his twin brother Kanon knew about the evil that existed in his mind and tried to convince him to take over the sanctuary. However, the evil side of Saga had not yet taken control of him, so he decided to lock Kanon in a prison located in Cape Sounion. Confirmed in Episode G Deathmask did know the intentions of Saga, and even consented to his plan for the conquest of the land, since according to his philosophy: "Justice is in power!"

But surprisingly he is controlled again by his evil side and allows Cronos free passage to stay in the Megas Drepanon. Saga was chosen by Cronos and by fate, as the first destroyer of the human future.

Cronos says:

You are the only man capable of fighting face to face with me, I chose wrong.

Cronos attacks and with one stroke destroys the figure created by the cosmo of Cronus, but this is not enough because he does not have a physical body. Saga uses Galaxia Explosion making him a serious injury to Cronos, who was surprised how his body might be injured if it is nonexistent.

Saga returns to the attack and manages to make him lose enough blood, saying:

"I will commit the crime that is needed to create my own hands with peace on earth."

Together with Aquarius Camus and Capricrn Shura (making them the so-called "Wailing Trio"), Saga crosses the spectrum of 12 homes as Hades, apparently on a mission to make way for the real Hades Specter and bring the head of Athena. In fact they just wanted to apologize to Athena, and warn her about his armor, and only with her, Athena could defeat the Dark Lord. Aries Shion, former Master of the Sanctuary and Master Mu, Cancer Deathmask and Pisces Aprodithe are also revived as Specters of Hades, and several Silver Knights.

However, upon arriving at the House of Gemini, which should be empty, Saga, Shura and Kamus are surprised by a powerful cosmos, who is wearing the armor of Gemini and trying to stop them from advancing. Saga soon realizes that a person could only be his brother, Kanon, and asks his companions to follow the House of Cancer, as he stands to face him. Kanon is determined to prevent their enemies from below, and creates the maze of Gemini, which prevents any enemy to find the exit, just as formerly Saga made ​​against the five Brnze Saint. Saga delivers a blow that crosses the entire Sanctuary and targets the Temple of Athena, where Kanon was. Once Kanon was reached, the illusions are shattered and the "Trio of Lamentations" finally leaves the house of Gemini. After leaving his former home, for a moment, Saga weeps upon learning that his brother was finally on the good side.

Demon Emperor Fist : With a quick movement of hands, Saga "cuts" the air, thus opening a kind of space in the atmosphere. Then after the space is open he shoots a beam of light that goes against the opponent's brain through a vacuum created that exceeds the speed of light due to lack of air resistance. Directly attacks the opponent's brain. A weaker version attacks the nervous system of the opponent, leaving him immobile and vulnerable to any attack. The stronger version makes Saga attack the opponent's brain, making him a "brainwashed" by making him attack even their loved ones. The effects will only disappear if the person coming the victim dies.

Sensory Annihilation : With this scam is able to withdraw all the senses including the sense of thinking and heart-stopping.

Labyrinth of Twins: illusion to make enemies wander aimlessly around the time without incontrar to a local Shura and Camus is golden knights were not able to break this illusion even knowing they were on an illusion, the technique was broken only when Saga Canon won Gemini Gemini temporariamemte who was in the room of the Grand Master.

Short Range Blast : Gemini can shoot a quick energy ball or a barrage of lasers at his opponent.

Long Range Blast : Given a bit of preparation time, Gemini can trace the Cosmo of his intended target and launch a powerful beam of energy at their remote location
