Misty was sent by the Sanctuary to Japan, together with 4 other Silver Saints, to kill the Bronze Saints. He eventually faced Pegasus Seiya in battle. Convinced of his superiority, Misty had no doubt he would defeat Seiya without even being hit. The Lizard Saint believed he was the most beautiful Saint, and to be injured would be an ultimate insult to him. Using the barrier he created with his technique, he managed to block every single hit of Seiya's Pegasus Ryu Sei Ken. Annoyed that Seiya's blood dripped onto his Cloth, he decided to bath himself in the sea, believing Seiya was defeated.

However, Seiya got back up, and continued his battle against Misty. Misty still managed to easily block Seiya's Pegasus Ryu Sei Ken. But Seiya focused the power of all his Ryusei Ken into one, and unleashed his new technique: Pegasus Suisei Ken, which managed to strike through Misty's defense to hurt him. Seiya then used the Pegasus Rolling Crush to finally defeat the Silver Saint.

Lacerta is one of the 88 modern constellations defined by the International Astronomical Union. Its name is Latin for lizard. A small, faint constellation, it was created in 1687 by the astronomer Johannes Hevelius. Its brightest stars form a "W" shape similar to that of Cassiopeia, and it is thus sometimes referred to as 'Little Cassiopeia'. It is located between Cygnus, Cassiopeia and Andromeda on the northern celestial sphere. The northern part lies on the Milky Way.
Trivia
- Although the first Silver Saints that Kurumada introduced in his manga were Eagle Marin and Ophiuchus Shaina, in vol.1, he didn't reveal their rank then. He revealed it after he introduced Lizard Misty in vol. 5.
- Masami Kurumada created Misty in the stereotypical manga/anime androgynous beautiful character (bishounen) model. This is due to the fact that japanese consider ideal beauty in males as androgynous beautiful noblemen, and that is the reason why beautiful androgynous characters like Misty are very common in manga and anime. Alongside Pisces Aphrodite, Virgo Shaka, Siren Sorrento and most notably Andromeda Shun, Misty is one of the most androgynous characters that appears in Saint Seiya.
- Misty is the only known Silver Saint to wear a cape, a common practice among only Gold Saints.
- When Seiya fought the Mariner General, Sea Horse Baian, he commented that Baian's defensive technique, which involved using rapid vibrations from hand movement to create a barrier, to be very similar to Lizard Misty's technique. Like with Misty, Seiya also destroyed Baian's barrier with the Pegasus Meteor Fist.
