Plot introduction
In ancient times, the Titan Cronos (son of Uranus the sky and Gaia the earth) and his wife Rhea gave birth to six children. Five of them were swallowed by Cronos, and only one was saved, Zeus, hidden from Cronos by Rhea. Upon reaching adulthood, Zeus forced his father to vomit the other five gods. Zeus, along with his brothers and sisters, decided to battle the Titans for control of the universe. Cronos and the other eleven Titans lost the battle and were sent to Tartarus.
Thousands of year later, in Greece, the Pope visited the room of the recently reincarnated infant Athena, with a golden dagger.
Before he can kill her, the Gold Saint Saggitarius Aiolos saved her, and unmasked the Pope. Aiolos, horrified, fled. The Pope then declared him a traitor to the Sanctuary, and had Capricorn Shura murder him.
This caused his younger brother, Leo Aiolia, to grow under the shadow of his "traitor" brother, suffering from all manner of abuse and scorn.
It left him with a grudge against the Gold Saints and Sanctuary as a whole, which caused the Pope and most of the Sanctuary to distrust him.
To make things worse, the enemies of Zeus, the Titans, were revived and began to seek vengeance against him and the Sanctuary. This marked the start of Aiola's story and the battle of the Gold Saints against the Titans.
Style
Saint Seiya Episode.G is different than its predecessor in that is drawn and written by Megumu Okada (岡田芽武). Masami Kurumada (車田正美) gave the original idea of the "Gold Saints' youth" to Okada.
Megumu Okada draws his characters much more stylised than Kurumada, with thin and slender bodies, big eyes, and little noses. One noteworthy thing about Okada's style is the amount of tone and detail he puts into his characters; everything is toned in some shape or form. Comedy scenes are seen more than in the original manga and in these scenes the characters are drew in a super deformed state. Leo Aiolia's hair is red in this manga (though there is a plot-related explanation), so as to differentiate him from his older brother, Saggitarius Aiolos.[3]
