Jamian (ジャミアン, jamian) was a Silver Saint protected by the Corvus Constellation.

Appearance[]

Jamian is a character with an unattractive appearance, with a nose as sharp as a beak and no eyebrows. In the manga he is also bald, but the anime gave him long, unruly, coarse hair, which is not possible to fully appreciate because the anime also made the crow mask into a helmet.

Personality[]

Jamian is seen very confident like all the other silver saints, he does not seem too intelligent and unscrupulous as he is willing to hit Saori, a defenseless woman, somewhat cowardly as she needs minions who wear a uniform and uses her crows for the vast majority of techniques, even to transport her, he is seen fighting without thinking or specifying and is ungraceful with a somewhat comical physique. Physical strength is seen somewhat limited and somewhat clumsy fighting, his great ace is having minions and crows and that both in the manga and in the anime he was backed by other silver saints. Shaina showed no respect for him by usually arguing with him unlike with Perseus' Algol whom she respects, although she does appreciate him, when he dies after falling off the cliff she explodes in anger against the bronze saints, he is not seen as a silver saint with many stripes. He is a somewhat cartoonish character and little appreciated by fans for his personality, techniques, physique, armor and perhaps proof of this is that he does not even appear in the filler of the Hades : Sanctuary anime.

Chronology[]

After the supposed execution of the Bronze Saints, a group made up of Jamian, Ophiuchus Shaina, Auriga Capella, Kerberos Dante and Perseus Algol were sent to Japan. Their mission was to abduct Saori Kido, retrieve the Gold Cloth of Sagittarius and destroy the Colosseum. The latter objective was completed and they went to look for the others, in that time Saori Kido reached the Colosseum. Soon the 4 Bronze Saints had gathered to return the Gold Cloth and say their goodbyes. They left quickly and leaving Saori behind, but what they didn't know was that Jamian had sent his crows at them and decided to take action. With his crows he took the Gold Cloth and carried of Saori from the ground and flew from the Colloseum. Pegasus Seiya followed him as Andromeda Shun, Cygnus Hyoga and Dragon Shiryu took back the Gold Cloth.

Chronology (Manga)[]

Jamian himself was standing in some mountain area and awaiting his crows, but he noticed that their numbers had decreased. Yet he had still managed to capture Saori and was about to touch her when Seiya arrived at the scene. Jamian demonstrated his power as a Silver Saint by using his "Black Shaft" attack. The feathers from his crows engulfed the Pegasus Saint making him unable to move and breath. He sent his crows to carry Saori to the Sanctuary ahead of him, but the Bronze saint managed to break free from his attack and stopped the crows. As Seiya was about to escape with Saori, Ophiuchus Shaina appeared in his way. Seiya was now trapped between the mountain and two Silver Saints. He used his last resort and jumped of the cliff, falling down to his doom. Jamian used his crows and flew down to find Saori on her way to kiss Seiya. Jamian said they had no time for such things and headed to finish of Seiya. But it was then Saori stepped forward and released the power of Athena's cosmo. It turned Jamian's crows against him, and made them attack the Silver Saint. As they disappeared, he accused Saori of being some sort of witch and charged against her. Suddenly the arrival of Phoenix Ikki changed the tides, he instantly attacked Jamian and sent him defeated into the air.

Skills & Abilities[]

  • Based Physical Strength: A Saint is able to destroy an object on an atomic scale, his fist was capable of splitting the sky and his kick was able to cracking the ground. As one of the 24 Silver Saints, even the weakest Silver Saint was classified as twice as strong as almost all ordinary Bronze Saints and even five times stronger based on fighting ability. But, almost all of the Silver Saints were weaker than the Gold Saints.
  • Movement Speed: A Silver Saint is able to move at the speed of light, in this case, as a Silver Saint, his speed is usually between Mach 2 and Mach 5.
  • Physical Durability & Endurance: a saint is actually a true soldier who trains hard and is able to fight for a long time, but in this case several Silver Saints were able to be defeated easily with one powerful attack when Cosmo was burned.
  • Cosmo Manipulation: Cosmo is the Source energy of life and the Source Energy of the Universe itself where this energy can be absorbed by the saint's body while they're burning their Cosmo, the Cosmo is considered as a miniature of Big Bang that exists in every living object, or the big explosion that created the universe. Every Saint has a Cosmo within them, which they can burn to enhance their Special Techniques or Powerful blows while they are Fighting.
  • Enhanced Senses: 6th Sense - Intuition (意識, Yishiki) is a feeling that represents the power of the saints of Athena, and is inherent in all people who can perceive their own cosmos and/or the cosmos of others. Utility is essentially what differentiates a warrior who has risen from the universe from an ordinary warrior, as things like sensing and using cosmo energy, moving at superhuman speeds, and predicting movements. Additionally, the sixth sense can replace the loss of the previous 5 during a fight.

Techniques[]

Black Wing Shaft (ブラック・ウイング・シャフト, Burakku Wingu Shafuto): This is Jamian's main technique . Upon starting the execution of this move, Jamian calls upon the crows that accompany him to attack the opponent, and they circle around him, dropping their feathers on him  . If the opponent feels threatened by the crows and begins to attack them, it will only cause more feathers to fall around him  . These feathers become impregnated with Jamian's cosmos and begin to adhere to the opponent's skin and armor, covering his entire body. Because the feathers have an abnormally high weight, the fact that they accumulate on him causes him to be unable to move. In addition, by covering his face, they also obstruct his ability to breathe, which could lead to the victim dying of suffocation if he fails to remove them  .

As the opponent is completely immobilized under the weight of the feathers covering his body, Jamian takes the opportunity to finish him off with a powerful flying kick

Black Wing Shaft

Black Wing no Kyōfu (ウイングのきょうふTerror del Ala Negra ): Jamian concentrates his cosmo while performing a choreography, it materializes in the form of a giant crow. Then, with his fist closed, he launches a ray of cosmo in the form of a crow at his opponent. (Anime Only)

Black Wing no Kyoufu

Cloth[]
