Aphrodite Pisces

About Pisces, Aphrodite

Gender: Male Date of birth: March 11 Astrological sign: Pisces Nationality: Sweden Affiliation: Gemini Saga (gold saint), Athena (Resurrected saint) Class: Saint Rank: Gold Saints Resurrected Saint: Cloth Pisces Cloth Pisces Surplice Training: Greenland Attacks: Royal Demon Rose, Piranhan Rose, Bloody Rose Status: Destroyed Pisces Aphrodite stands out as the final Gold Saint introduced in Kurumada's manga, arriving in volume 11. He's famous for two things: his almost supernatural beauty—so striking that even Gemini Saga called it the greatest among all Athena's Saints—and a reputation as one of the strongest of the 88 Saints. The series doesn't really back up that second claim though. He goes down to Andromeda Shun fairly quickly, and gets overwhelmed by Aries Mu during the Hades arc without much trouble. The name's a nod to the Greek goddess of love, fitting for both the Pisces mythology and the character's incredible looks. What's interesting is that despite being almost impossibly beautiful, Aphrodite doesn't actually brag about it or act vain—unlike certain other Saints who do. He's cruel, sure, matching Cancer Deathmask's edge, but he comes across as cold rather than sadistic. There's a dry, sarcastic quality to him that keeps him from being one-dimensional. According to Saga, Aphrodite is the most feared Saint out of all 88, though it probably has more to do with his ruthlessness than his combat ability. This reputation gets explored better in the non-canon Saint Seiya Episode G, where even enemy soldiers freeze in terror around him despite being mesmerized by his appearance. Aphrodite has this consistent philosophy: victory itself is the ultimate beauty. Real strength—actual power—is what he values, not his face. He sees might as the only tool for maintaining order and justice, and believes the strong naturally rule over the weak. A lot of casual fans assume Aphrodite's female based on the name alone. It doesn't help that the French, European Spanish, and Chinese anime dubs all cast female voice actors for the role.
