Manigoldo Cancer304 fan favorites
External profile
Manigoldo is the Gold Saint of Cancer during the Holy War in the 18th Century. He's the only disciple of the Pope and previous Cancer Gold Saint, Sage. Manigoldo shares some personality traits and the look possessed by the 20th century Cancer Gold Saint (Deathmask), though he isn't evil. He was shown as being somewhat hostile and talking in an informal, almost humorous way. He also can be bold, aggressive, arrogant and very confident. In the past, he believed that the dead of all eras are nothing but refuse. When meeting Sage, he decides to train in the Sanctuary to understand the idea that "every person who is alive or dead is part of the universe." Manigoldo was taught by Sage a large number of techniques related with souls. In direct relation to the oriental folklore pertaining the Cancer constellation, he has the ability to send souls to the entrance to the Underworld with his Praesepe Underworld Waves (Sekishiki Meikaiha)—base technique of Cancer Saints. Using the Praesepe Demonic Blue Flames (Sekishiki Kisoen), Manigoldo creates an orb in his hand, igniting every soul nearby, thus incinerating the souls of his opponents. He is also capable of using the Praesepe Soul Burial Waves (Sekishiki Konsoha) to stray souls nearby as gunpowder to create a great explosion. Apart from the attacks involving souls, Manigoldo can use a physical attack called Acubens in which Manigoldo uses both his legs as pincers of a crab's claw to cut his opponent in half, hence the name.

Kardia finished opponents with Antares Needle, the killing blow of the Scarlet Needle combination. Also, Kardia exhibits a new technique which is known as Katakaio Needle(from the Ancient Greek κατακαίω (Katakaio), usually translated as "utterly burned"), used on exceptionally powerful foes, and essentially causes Kardia's opponent's blood to boil within themselves, while connected to Kardia's heart lifeforce. After successfully inflicting 14 hits, Kardia finishes the Katakaio Needle with Katakaio Antares, the fifteenth star of the Scorpius constellation, which delivers the killing stroke for his opponent.

This attack only works on those slower than Leo, since it can be evaded by moving faster than his punches.

Such is the talent of Regulus, who surpasses all that his eyes observe. Since doing so did not break the Saints' code of one on one battles, he retained his honor when fighting against Wyvern Rhadamanthys.

It calls upon the constellations of the zodiac to launch the attacks of all twelve Gold Saints at the same time.

His Cosmo is then sealed by Hypnos and Thanatos, and his soul is trapped in the Dream World by the Dream Gods. He later appears in the final dream of Taurus Aldebaran, reminding him how much it hurts Athena when one of her Saints dies. Sisyphus is no longer in a comatose state, having been rescued by Sasha during the fight between Oneiros and El Cid/Tenma. This enables him to assist his fellow Saints against the dream god, shooting his golden arrow from the Pope's temple in the Sanctuary, which is intercepted in midair and cut in four by El Cid, and then pierces the four weakspots of Oneiros, thus rendering him all but vulnerable. He is entrusted by Hakurei to lead the forces of Athena during the absence of the Pope. On a side note, when Sasha rescues him inside the dream world, Sysiphus appears briefly as a Spectre, clothed with a dark version of his Gold Cloth and shedding tears of blood. To date this is the first time since the Hades arc of the original manga that a Gold Saint (different from those depicted by Kurumada) becomes a Spectre. He later appear in Jamir, to lead Athena's army into the Lost Canvas, by using the boat of hope. To defend the boat from the attack of Aiacos, Sisyphus uses arrows made of cosmo, shooting them with his bow and his direct attack Cheiron's Light Impulse (ケイロンズライトインパルス Keironzu Raito Inparusu?) a powerful blast of ray of light, that provokes a massive whirlwind, extinguishing all the fire that covered Aiacos' and Athena's ship.

Gemini Defteros, also known as the "Demon of Kanon Island" and addressed by Asmita's ghost as "a man who can destroy the stars of a galaxy," first reveals himself as a man of incredible savagery, although he is at heart a serene warrior. He lives by the philosophy of survival of the strongest. Twin brother of the late Gemini Aspros. Defteros' name, alternatively spelled as Jemini no Defuterosu, meaning "Second one," reveals his condition as the younger of the twins. During his younger years, Defteros suffered the rejection of Sanctuary as a Saint apprentice. Forced to wear an iron mask to hide his existence from the outer world, Defteros was protected by his older brother Aspros, who was considered the rightful future heir of the Gemini Gold Cloth. In Kanon Island, Defteros helps Tenma to reach briefly the 7th Sense and to understand how to combine the mastery of Cosmo in order to become one with nature as well. After training the young Saint, Defteros leaves telling an unconscious Tenma to take good care of the Pegasus Cloth, possibly out of respect for Asmita whose blood restored it. Later on, he is seen healing Libra Dohko's wound caused by Hades' sword by using Athena's blood. He then asks him to carry a flask of the same blood to Athena's statue in Sanctuary, and reveals to him his true identity as the Gemini Gold Saint. He reveals to Dohko that his life was saved by Bennu Kagaho, by bringing him to Kanon Island. He enters the war against Hades in Sanctuary, surprising Bennu Kagaho to save Dohko's life by means of opening an alternate dimension with his Another Dimension (アナザーディメンション Anazā Dimenshon?) attack. He tells Kagaho to convey a message to Hades, that they're arriving to the Lost Canvas and that his defeat is near. He later removes the secret of Athena's Cloth from Dohko's memory and sends him with it to the Lost Canvas. Remaining within the vacuum of the Another Dimension, Defteros is challenged by his brother Aspros, who was revived by Hades in exchange of his loyalty and the secret of Athena's Cloth. Later, they resume their encounter in the 4th Demon Temple: Mars, which now resembles the Temple of the Twins in Sanctuary. Both warriors engage each other in battle while reminiscing about their past. It was revealed that Defteros was manipulated in order to assassinate the Pope by his older brother, Aspros, with the attack Demon Emperor Fist, a technique that grants the user complete control of the target until the victim has witnessed the death of someone. Defteros was able to fight off the effects of the technique with help of Virgo Asmita long enough to deliver a fatal blow to his brother, completely freeing himself. After his defeat, Aspros applies the Delusional Fist on himself before dying. Defteros took Aspros' body with him and the Gemini Gold Cloth to Kanon Island. Returning to the battle at the Mars Temple, Defteros is put under the control of Aspros again. To counter the attack, Defteros exhibits a newly introduced technique, the Mavros Eruption Clast (マブロスエラプションクラスト Maburosu Erapushon Kurasuto?), (from the Ancient Greek μαύρος, "black") with which Defteros summons magma from the depths of earth to create a violent explosion. Defteros reveals to Aspros that he surpassed his own limits during his training at Kanon Island and uses his technique to free himself again from his brother's control. Even so, Aspros counters the technique easily with his Galaxian Explosion, overpowering the Gemini Saint into submission. Putting aside fond memories and respect for the once-gentle brother he knew, Defteros engages Aspros in a final effort, pitting his own Galaxian Explosion against his brother's, out of which only one will come as survivor and final victor. Seizing the moment of the clash of the Explosions, Defteros hits his brother with a technique that sacrifices his own life, nullifying the effects of the Delusional Fist on Aspros, making him return to his senses. Afterward, Defteros' body vaporizes, leaving behind the Gemini Gold Cloth. Having sacrificed his life in order to restore his brother's sanity, Defteros remained content in merging his soul with his brother's. No voice actors have been added to this character.
