 * Crisscrossing between the past and the present, a new galaxy myth, Saint Seiya's canonical continuation starts!! --Refuteku (talk) 10:38, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

It has dropped to 27th place, but still going strong --Refuteku (talk) 10:02, 19 February 2009 (UTC) Source link

Article Improved
Can someone let the Wikipedia guys know about the improvements of the article? I think the tags can be removed now, as it has been significantly improved.

Sion -> Shion, Gryphon -> Griffon
I received Volume 1 recently and noticed that the art gallery says his name i Shion in English letters. and since this is one of the few official source for his name i say we go with it instead of Sion. This is also the case with Griffon Vermeer.--Refuteku (talk) 10:38, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Chapter list & dates
Here's the old list with the separate release dates, for future purposes.

Volume Introductions
I thought i would put the introductions from the beginning of every collected volume written by Masami Kurumada here. Just in the case some contains good information for the article.


 * Vol.1 : When i were young, all movies on TV were black and white. Now we are in the 21st century. Everything is of course in color in this time. But, for how long will Japanese manga continue to be only in black and white? Certainly, the covers of volumes have been in color, but that was the only thing to come forth. I also made publications with all the pages in color sometimes. Though, to do it all at that time was impossible. Those who made it possible were the people who can handle coloring by computers. Everything in full color! Enjoy the new Saint Seiya of the new century!


 * Vol.2 : In the spring last year i had health problems, it made me feel sick for a long time, which is a rarity for me. Then one day while watching the sky... I saw a species of Phoenix! a revelation from the sky you could say. "Revive! Ignite! My Health!!!" i thought while taking a photograph with my cellphone. (laughter) And that is why it took so long for you to finally obtain this burning volume 2! Read it with an explosive energy!


 * Vol.3 : I worked during my time as a student. The Christmas season in a certain store in the Ginza district was really busy and exhausting. Especially in the toys section where i worked. I received a customer, placed the product in a box, wrapped it, placed a ribbon on it and handed it to the customer. Everyday i had to fight hundreds of times this way as fast as possible. It was a hard work, but in that unknown store, there were many customers that were happy when they received the gifts i had wrapped. I decided that so much joy is always good. I am not exactly a christian but i still wish for a Merry Christmas!


 * Vol.4 : When i was young, most of the films on TV were in black and white. Now we are in the 21st century. Naturally everything is in colour at this time. But, for how long will Japanese manga only be in black and white? Certainly, for a long time the front pages and the covers have been in colour, but that was the only thing that came to be. I myself have made some publications where all the pages are in colour. However, to do them all was an impossible task. It was made possible by the people that work with computer graphics. Everything in full colour! Enjoy the new Saint Seiya of the new century!


 * Vol.5 : Day after day until this day i had believed that "I would like to be a tolerant person" ... A man who was not offended by trivial situations and instead laughed just like a generous man ... However, I am often irritable. Laugh. By what I see on TV, I hear on the news, and what appear on the network and even ordinary things ... In addition, i fail to realize i become irritated unconsciously. Laugh. Kenji Miyazawa wrote in one of his poems "I will never be angry, always laugh quietly" "That's just the way I like to be" ... will it be impossible for me? Bitter smile.
