Name: Milo PERSONALITY "Scorpio" as his sign and as a symbol of his personality. Because even if Milo is a pragmatic person, he can be very sharp when it is needed. He is someone that is always searching for the truth and he trusts his cosmo more than people. In fact, he only does what he thinks is right. There is no way for him to let justice go away just to follow orders. And when things are not clear, he finds himself what the truth is, admitting his mistakes if it is the case. He has a big sense of friendship and he would be pleased to give his own life for a friend. For respect or for avenging him. He is also always ready to help someone and once he found out the truth, he accept people as comrades with egual rights even if they are not Gold Saints or respected people. That is the case of Hyoga, and that is the case of Canon. He is also good friend with everyone at the Sanctuary, especially with Camus. The two of them are bonded by respect and friendship. And after Camus' death, he takes Hyoga as his pupil. Such a good father you are, Milo~ He also doesn't tend to show it, but he is kind and caring, and the way he heals Hyoga and Canon after testing them and their sincerity proves how a good person he is, because he stop himself to kill if he thinks there is no need anymore. His sad face while helping Hyoga is also so cute. He did his best and even gave his blood for him, to let Mu repair his damaged Cygnus Cloth. Also, when Virgo was killed by Saga, Shura and Camus in Hades, he left the Scorpio Temple and went there in the Virgo Temple to stop them at the cost of his life. His best move is called Scarlet Needle and it is about fifteen stigs that hit vital points of a (poor) person, that is about to die in a few moves. Only the strongest resist until the last stig, that is called Antares, like the last star of the Scorpio Constellation. In fact, his way to fight is hitting the opponent on the fifteen points of the Scorpio Constellation, and the last and fatal blow is precisely Antares. Anyway, he always talk a lot (really a lot, eh? He talked so much with Hyoga in the Scorpio Temple while Hyoga was unconscious!!) before killing his opponent, because he tries to understand the deep reasons of his opponent and if that person hopes for redemption or not. In Hyoga's case, for respect towards Camus he was inclined to let Hyoga lives and let him run away if he wanted, but Hyoga fought him with all himself, so Milo was serious too, using all his power. He wished to know better Kanon and wanted to had spent more time with him, so such a nice friend he is. It is a pity that the two of them can't have any chances to do it. Those thoughts of Milo are so cute~ His way to speak is also captivating. He uses the "ore" to refers to himself ("ore" is generally used by people sure of themselves and with a rough way to speak) and is very rude with opponents (calling them "kisama", "omae", and such), but uses the "watashi" (polite) when he talks to important people. His way to speak is totally different when he speaks to Athena then when he speaks to a friend or an opponent. Let's say that he uses the right expressions with the right people. TWELVE TEMPLES' ARC Milo was born in Greece and became Saint when he was 7-years-old. He left Athene and trained in the Milos Island. He appears from the first time in the manga when he is 20. He was summoned by the great pope to go kill the Bronze Saints, but Aiolia did it instead. In fact, Milo doubted the pope and his strange actions, so he stayed alert and told Aiolia to not move too, but Aiolia did it anyway. It was during the meet with Hyoga in the Scoprio temple that the two of them had a fight. He knew that Hyoga was Aquarius Camus' disciple, so because of this, he didn't want to kill Hyoga. But the Bronze Saint had to treasure the life that Shun saved him in the Libra temple (warming his freezed body with his own cosmo and consuming it all) and wanted to let Seiya and Shiryu pass to next temple, so he faced Milo and the two of them made a deadly battle, because when Milo got the kind of person that Hyoga is, he decided to be serious and giving all himself fighting that boy, even if he was just a Bronze Saint. Hyoga's courage touched Milo's heart, and the way he did the impossible to defeat him and save Athena made Milo understand that he was not a traitor as the great pope said, he was a real man and a real Saint. He used all the fifteen stigs of his Scarlet Needle on Hyoga, even the last one, Antares, the fatal one. And he asked Hyoga to stop many times, but there was no way for Hyoga to leave the fight and run away from him. What Milo felt in his heart was a will so strong to let a little Bronze Saint like Hyoga facing a colossus like a Gold Saint like Milo, and when Hyoga menaged to freeze all the fifteen stars of the Scorpio Constellation, Milo understood how far he went and that even if Milo himself won the fight as a Saint, he lost as a man, because the only reason why Hyoga didn't get to defeat him with his last move was the Gold Cloth of Scorpio. That's the reason why he decided to support Hyoga instead, and after stopping his bleeding, he let him pass the Scorpio Temple and wished for him and his comrades to reach their goal succesfully. After the end of the Twelve Temples Arc, he recognizes Athena in Kido Saori and swears devotion to her. He also gives his blood to make Mu repair Hyoga's Cloth, that was heavily damaged after the end of the battle against Aquarius. Speaking of this, after Camus' death, Milo self-proclamed himself protector of Hyoga, and since that moment he became his pupil. But, eheheheh... Hyoga taught him that nothing is impossible if you give all youself. And even a dream is not impossible to realize if you have a strategy that makes you overcome your limits. The fact that he liked Hyoga so much was totally understandable, right? I mean, Hyoga was right and the result of the battle with a superior Saint like Milo spoke for him. POSEIDON'S ARC He doesn't do much in the Poseidon Arc because the Gold Saints remained at the Sanctuary, so nothing new about him there. He wanted to help the Bronze Saint so he was discussing with the others about the possibility to go to Poseidon and he stopped Aiolia to make a fight with Mu, because he didn't want them to fight each other too (What a good guy, eh?). HADES' ARC In the Hades Arc he is back and he initially appears to protect Athena at the Sanctuary, where he finds Canon and fight him thinking that he was the traitor that betrayed Athena some times ago, but Saori tells him that Canon asked for forgiveness and now he is a new person. Anyway, Milo only trusts his cosmo (not anyone else, eh. Not Athena, not Saga, not Mu, non anyone else) and he tested Canon's sincerity with his Scarlet Needle. Once he was sure that Canon really found redemption and now he was about fighting for Athena, he stopped Canon's bleeding instead of using his Antares and called him "comrade". Aaaaaah, that part is sooooo intense!! I love so much that strange and absolutely irresistible personality of Milo! Milo also wished to have spent more time with Canon and desired to know him better but he knew that... the both of them would probably die in the next battle against Hades. That was a pity, because I strongly wished to see the two of them fighting together one day and in the Underworld, but this will only remain a dream of mine or a fan-fiction. Anyway, after that, he faced Saga, Shura and Camus that were back because of Hades and made the prohibited move together with Aiolia and Mu. It was the Athena Exclamation, a move made by three Saints that Athena herself prohibited because it had the power of the Big-Bang (so this means that the whole Sanctuary and more would have been destroyed by one move. Think of two...!), but Saga and the others were ready to do everything to make Hades think that they were on his side, so they put away their pride as Gold Saints and did that Athena Exclamation previously against Shaka and now against Milo, Aiolia and Mu. The result was that thanks to Shiryu (Hyoga, Seiya and Shun too in the anime) everyone was saved, but Milo and the others were ready to die instead of letting Saga and the others betray Athena. It is clear that Milo and the others thought that Saga, Shura and Camus really were about betraying Athena, that is the reason why they chose to fight with that prohibited move against them that already were assassins of a friend like Shaka. The truth is that Saga and the others never left Athena's side and did everything for her, but they had to lie. Athena asks Milo and the others to bring Saga, Shura and Camus to her because they were heavily injured, so even with a certain disappointment, Milo, Aiolia and Mu did it (and Milo brought Saga in the manga, so I do not understand why he brought Camus instead in the anime...?), and that was Athena's death, because she asked Saga to kill her in order to resolve the situation. She suicided and went in the Underword, and to follow her, Milo, Aiolia and Mu had to obtain the eighth sense called Arayashiki (that is a pity that we can't know how). They fought Rhadamanthys and lost, because their power was 1/10 in Hades' territory. So they died and were thrown out in the Cocytus, but Athena's power resurrected them later and the twelve Gold Saints fought together to destroy the Wall of Lament that isolated Athena and Hades' real body, from the Judecca to the Elysum. That costed them their life and Milo and all the others died to destroy that wall, but... they did it. It really was a miracle and this is horrible but they died and I feel so... I don't know. But sad is too few to describe how I feel. Milo is so... so incredible, I wanted to read more about him, more about his life and his adventure but... eh. He gave his life to let the hope arrive to Athena, so... He is a hero, isn't he? Uh... After that, his soul makes and apparition in the new manga Next Dimension, but that's all. Sadly. Aaaanyway... We have the Soul of Gold anime, so let's talk about it. SOUL OF GOLD An anime for the Gold Saints, so it was like the sun to me! Because I menaged to see Milo again, yay!! So... The story is about their mysterious resurrection in Asgard and Milo felt something strange from the first moment. The gigantic tree Yggdrasill was there to -apparently- give prosperity to Asgard, but it was about sucking people's energy instead. The false god Loki tried to take command on Odin's land using the resurrected Gold Saints, but they helped Lithia, the new Odin's representant, to save that place and its people. As first apparirion, Milo made me smile. No, I laughed! Because he was about intimidating a soldier to know if there was a person with a golden armor somewhere, and that poor man told him everything! Milo is a person with such a beautiful personality and he treasure friends, but is letal to enemies as well! Ahahah, that poor man said the truth and he found Camus later, so Milo regretted a bit to have been that rude to that person! But it was not a happy moment because Camus attacked him all of a sudden together with a God Warrior from Asgard called Surt. Milo was heavily injured but tried anyway to find the truth himself about the real reason why the Gold Saints were resurrected in Asgard, and once he lost consciousness, he awakened in a cave, saved by Virgo. Virgo suggested him to stay calm and not moving, but Milo's cosmo told him to find the truth, so he, heavily injured as he was, continued to search for the real reason of his resurrection alone. After meeting Camus again they had another fight and it was thanks to Saga if Milo didn't die there. So Saga too told him to wait, but he didn't want to do it. Speaking of this, this is something from Milo that I love so much. Aaaaanyway, Milo had to be the one and once Mu explained him what he got to find, Milo decided to put all himself in a fight to stop the Yggdrasill. So he used Athena's dagger to obtain the Divine Gold Cloth and was absorbed by the Yggdrasill with a pleased and satisfacted smile on his face, because now that he used his life to do the right thing and menaged to get the truth, he can turn back to his eternal rest with no regrets. I appreciated so much his role in this story, because it is totally him. He never did what Shaka said, what Saga said, what Mu said. No, he only followed his own cosmo and a person that ends his life with a satisfacted smile on the face like him means "I was right, so I do not have any regrets left". So cool, really cool. I mean, there are cool moments for everyone but Milo has the coolest! Or at least, he is the coolest for me, so I was so hyped about his role here! I am totally satisfacted and happy about him in this series!! Aaah, but that was not all. After that he was back together with all the other Gold Saints to fight Andreas/Loki and defeat him to free Asgard, and Camus had the chance to explain about what he did previously. So when everything is gone he can finally turn back to the afterlife. Aaaaah... SAINTIA SHO As first thing, I LOVE this manga because it is drawn by the great Kuori Chimaki-sensei and I love soooo much her art style! Her Milo is simply the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life and I have no doubt that there will be no way in the future for me to find a Milo more handsome than this. The story is about Eris, the Goddess of Discord that tried to reincarnate again in a person, and the one had to be the poor Shoko, a child that was about playing with her older sister like every child in this world. Milo saved her in that moment and she dreamed of that for years (so romantic, isn't it?), she dreamed of a golden person that always saved her in that moment. And when Shoko became a Saintia, Milo saved her again and in the same way, and Oh, Dear God, it is sooooo fantastic! He is also the person that told Shoko that with goodwill she can change that adverse destiny of her, and it's believing in his words that Shoko menages to go ahead and fight the fate. Isn't this soooo romantic?????? That thing of the golden apple that the old witch offers to Shoko to have her body in exchange is so Snow White like, and if Milo is the prince, I do not know if I can wish for a kiss, but... oh, well. I wish for a kiss! This is a spin-off manga and feelings are well treated here! Chimaki-sensei is sooooooo good with the story! Every character is well characterized and Shoko is adorable! Milo is also sooo Milo-like and his way to protect is always well made. Definitely, this is a great manga and I suggest everyone to read it! EPISODE G Seeing Milo with his original golden hair is a blessing and I am happy he is like this in Episode G (Saintia Sho and G: Assassin too, obviously). Unluckily, there is not much to say about his "cool things" here because he has a little space. His only decent battle is against the dead hero Hector and he says something cool there about the fact that only alive humans have the right to construct a future (he meant Hector can't, because he was dead), but that's all. Aiolia, that until that moment was only hostile in his regards, here changes his idea. He is another one that was changed in a tsundere and this is the reason why Milo and him always argue about everything. And in that moment Aiolia took his cape and said it was full of hole. And then... the tsundere he is, put it on his shoulders. Okay, Aiolia... This was somehow cute and somehow I suffer to see that this is the "best" for Milo here and even thanks to you. Also, he fights together with Camus in one of the final battles self-proclaiming his friend and himself as "Dragon Slayers" and in the end he fights with all the Gold Saints. EPISODE G: ASSASSIN As I already said: I am no one to criticize Okada-sensei's work, but even here, Milo is someone that is not treated well. The personality is better made, but his apparitions are a few and his role has no meaning. I mean, it is more decent than in Episode G, but again... he only exist in order to help Aiolia with his training in a first moment, and then he talks to Shura and fights Camus with his Gold Cloth but that's all. We can know that he likes using his smartphone and he downloads and uses a lot of free applications, and it is interesting seeing him dressed so cool like in a modern century, but that's all again. No important moments, no important developments of the story because of him (because he smiles happily seeing how Camus, Hyoga and Natassia are a family now, but like an outsider obviously). I can only pray to see a biiiiig battle soon, where he'll have a real cool moment and fight. But since he is no one important there, I doubt I will ever see a decent role for him.
Edit after I have read G Assassin's ending: I was right. LOST CANVAS Now, now. I know that this is a story about more than 200 years ago and here we have Kardia and not Milo, but I want to spend some words for Kardia because he's such a cutie and I love him. I feel so sad because damn, everytime I have to see my favorite characters die and it is horrible. Thanks goodness Hyoga was saved, but sigh. Kardia is adorable. He looks as the same as Milo but has nothing in common with him about personality and way of fighting. Kardia is a fierce and aggressive fighter that enjoys every battle, always searching for badass opponents, while Milo is pragmatic and never fight with no reason. Also, while Kardia only follows his instinct and his will to fight because he considers enemies like prays to hunt, Milo is a strategist that thinks well before hitting with the stigs of the Scarlet Needle. But anyway, knowing Kardia was soooo good. He has such cute expressions and his way to smile is so warm. He enjoys eating apples (and I wonder if a person that is called Milo doesn't like apples by nature too...? I mean, I know that the meaning behind his name is not an apple )it is "merciful", if I remember well) but "milo" is "apple" in greece too, soooo~ Aaaah, the story of Shoko and the golden apple...! Her prince...!!) and he looks so happy while eating them! Aaaaaah, but the stupid me read Lost Canvas Gaiden before Lost Canvas, so I firstly meet Kardia at age 17, the time that Sasha was just a little kid that was training to become a good Athena. He played with her and said "I kidnap you!" to save her from sadness, to took her in a funny journey with him. SO CUTE!! I mean, he was such a cuuuuuuuute child and I am in love with him but his story is so painful. His parents were a shit to adbandon him because of his illness and I would love to adopt him as my child. For his illness, I would do my best to help and cure my son! Anyway, the special chapter about his childhood is sad but he looks to cute. He became a Saint to learn a technique to menage better his illness, and the Scarlet Needle and Antares were them to him. He lived every single day as the last and enjoyed them with a smile. Such a cutie, really... Speaking of Kardia again, when I saw with what kind of smile on his face he was about dying while fighting to save Sasha and Calbera, I saw Milo in him and I felt so sad. That satisfacted smile on the face of the Scorpio Saints kills me. Also, Kardia was good friend with Degel, the previous Aquarius' Saint, so maybe these two signs are destined to have a special friendship somehow...? And the fact that Degel had Unity, and Camus had Surt, were similar. The difference is that Camus fought Milo for Surt's sake, and Kardia saved Unity for Degel. Aaaah, these Scorpio Saints... And about Zaphiri... He was the Scorpio Saint previous to Kardia and he only appeared for a chapter in the Gaiden, but the impact he left was really strong. I mean... When Athena wasn't awakened yet, he tried to get power from Poseidon and to fight himself to save the world, but he was called traitor. He tried to show everyone that he would live his own way until the end, and he did it... He used the Scarlet Needle and Antares to suicide. It is so sad. His death made sad everyone, and to never forget this thing, everyone always remember and say about him. Because this have not to happen again in the future. I mean... He killed himself to live his own way. It is really sad. Scoprio Saints are really crazy.
Really, it is so... meaningful. Scoprio Saints are my favorites~
Aaaah, no. I do not like Sonia. She is an imitation of a Saint and she never deserved to get the Scoprio Cloth, not even to become the Scorpio Saint (not that she wanted, eh). I can't consider her. Even if I do not like Écarlate, he is indifferent to me compared to Sonia, that I hate. LEGEND OF SANCTUARY You know (I think everyone but me), Milo is a woman here. I am not interested in this thing even if my cousin and a friend told me that she is a very good chatacter. What a waste. I hope they won't make Milo a woman again in the upcoming 3D remake by Netflix. KNIGHTS OF THE ZODIAC (NETFLIX) For the first series, here we have a Milo much like the Okada-sensei's Milo of Episode G. He is against Aiolia and he doubts the Pope. The difference with the original version is that here the Pope sent him to follow Aiolia and reporting him his moves because he doesn't trust him, and Milo does it. In the original verion we only had Aiolia taking the mission to kill the Bronze Saints from Milo, but Milo didn't do a thing there. RANDOM THOUGHTS About Écarlate, I have nothing to say because I do not like him, he is Milo + Kardia's bad copy. This is the end, I think. I will update the site when I will finish reading Next Dimension (If it will ever be published again). Aaaah, I forgot to say that the fact that Kurumada-sensei wanted to make Milo as Hyoga's master would have been so cool, but I prefer things like this. Because Milo was saved at the end of the first arc. Because he is so special and to Hyoga too, even if not as his master. And he "inherited" Hyoga after Camus' death, so, somehow, things went as planned. And I am happy like this. |
