Description
The Knights of the Zodiac – Saint Seiya (聖闘士星矢) Aphrodite Original animation cel in graphite and coloured pencils, created for the anime series, based on the work of Masami Kurumada (車田・正美) and Shingo Araki (荒木 伸吾) Produced by Toei Animation 1986–1989, Japan H24.5 L27 cm Aphrodite of Aquarius — sorry, Pisces — is the guardian of the twelfth and final house of the Zodiac, the closest to the Grand Pope’s throne. An ambiguous character whose beauty is a weapon: his golden roses dissolve both flesh and armour. He is one of the most controversial Gold Saints in the series — a cold-blooded executor of the false Grand Pope’s orders, lacking the moral depth of Aiolia or the inner conflict of Saga. His Doga represents the penultimate obstacle before the final confrontation with the Grand Pope — guardian of the ultimate threshold of the Sanctuary.
