Many readers and viewers of Saint Seiya - The Knights of the Zodiac in France - tend to forget it, but the events of the manga and the anime all started from the Knight of Sagittarius. It is indeed him who, through the path of his arrow, has traced the destiny of the main characters of the manga, starting with that of Seiya himself.The Knight of Sagittarius is one of the most powerful Golden Knights in the service of Athena, along with the Knight of Gemini. His real name is Aiolos, this Golden Knight is known first and foremost for his loyalty and his increased sense of fidelity. A sense of loyalty that will lead him to confront the renegade Golden Knights with the Great Pope at their head. Great Pope of whom he was even to become the successor one day.Paradoxically, this loyal Golden Knight will be remembered in history as a traitor for not having wanted to submit to the fraudulent takeover of the sanctuary. It is he who, as the only knight faithful to Athena, will save his reincarnation Saori. This rescue, then, will be accomplished at the cost of mortal wounds after having fought against all the Golden Knights having tracked him down.His mission accomplished, after having saved Saori, he will ask to find a successor to whom to give the golden armor of Sagittarius. He will entrust Saori to Kido, who will then gather and train young boys to find the worthy successor of Aiolos in order to inherit the armor of Sagittarius. It is in this capacity that the tournament between the Knights of Bronze will begin, which will initiate the events of Saint Seiya.Even if he sacrificed himself to fulfill his duty, Aiolos' body was never found. His courage and sense of sacrifice echoed those of Seiya who even resembled him physically. It is without surprise that we learned that Seiya was designated as the legitimate successor of Aiolos to wear the armor of Sagittarius. This designation did not come after the Bronze Knights tournament - this one having been interrupted by Ikki - but during the events of the battle of the sanctuary.The Funko POP figure of the Sagittarius Knight Aiolos, of course, manifests itself primarily in its brilliance and shine. The golden highlights of the Sagittarius Golden Knight figure, in fact, perfectly match the magnificence of the character's armor. Precisely because Seiya and Aiolos are both so similar, the Golden Sagittarius Knight Funko POP can then be either one or the other depending on who you want to appear behind the armor.A great armor that the Sagittarius Knight POP figure then wears beautifully. From the boots to his tiara also golden, the metal of the armor of the Funko POP of the Knight of Sagittarius transcribes the august character of the one who wears it. This one, then, carries in his hands the bow of Sagittarius with which he will succeed in defeating the usurper occupying the place of the Great Pope.
