The Gold Saints finally show up and guy rotation takes heretofore unimagined speed as there’s now TWELVE new guys who are all going to matter (not all of them are in this episode, to be fair).

We are so goddamn back this week as Saint Seiya finally starts to explain the Saint tiers, we meet a whole array of new guys some classic and some forgettable, a whole other show intrudes on the show we’re watching, and never before has it felt more like Saint Seiya is being made up as it goes along with some of the Saori reveals. More importantly, Gender shows up more aggressively than ever, and the boys return to bleeding both on each other and everywhere else, so we had a great goddamn time.
