Gladiators

The Gladiators (剣闘士, Guradiētā ) are a mysterious group of warriors in Saint Seiya: Episode G - Assassin. They were all mythical ancient warriors from all over the world and they particularity are said to all be wielders of Sacred Swords that they could materialize using the Holy Sword Embodiment (聖剣具現 (ホーリー・ソード・エンボディメント)) technique. They were enemies of the Saints of Athena and surfaced in the 21st century in Japan to fight in the War of the Sacred Swords, apparently in order to determine the strongest wielder of a Sacred Sword. Despite this they were nominally under the control of Tomoe, the Athena hailing from the Lost World, and her pope, Aiolos. Judging from the events happening to Cancer Lancelot the strongest surviving gladiators were destinated to become the new Gold Saints of Tomoe.
