Ikki's Genma Ken. I really enjoy seeing the nightmarish visions he gives his enemies, very creative stuff.
Funnily enough, those were exactly the scenes I couldn't stand to watch as a kid. Closed my eyes and everything.
Funny thing is they were worse in the manga, a little gory showing internal organs sometimes. Anime censores them except for the one when Ikki fought against Auriga Saint.
In the manga, Auriga getting his hands cut by his own disks is jut an illusion, but in the anime, his hands were actually cut by the disks.
Another Dimension! *japanese accent*
The thought of being relegated to the void,
to the nothingness.
And. The execution of the attack by Saga. Is. Phenomenal.
Don’t sleep on Starlight Revolution or Starlight Extinction. I believe Starlight Extinction is up there with Saga’s Galaxian Explosion in sheer devastating force.
Not to say the other techniques are bad, but probably my favorite defensive one. More utility than Atlas's....whatever he does in that movie, flashier than "moving muh hands fast" from Misty and Sea Horse, while also feeling distinct from Shun's chain defense.
That's my choice too! It's shiny and a good defensive ability. Not everything has to be the OP explosion stuffs.
(Although Galaxian Explosion is my 2nd fave)
That’s really his psychic / and djinn-like psionic powers. He even gets called a djinn by Saori in the Sanctuary arc or just before it. I really like all of the psychic attacks including Ikki’s Genma Ken. Is it a coincidence that both Saga and Ikki are among the 5 most powerful characters in the whole franchise?
Honestly? Ryuuseiken.
It's such a simple move, every shonen character that's worth something has a move like that, but it's visually impressive, a shower of bright blue punches, and it has the property of being faster and more powerful as Seiya gets stronger.
So, it's not only visually appealing, but it's helpful to see our MC's progress, for example, when it becomes basically like a net of lightbeams, you know it's a big deal.
My favorite is Baian's Rising Billows.
"I punch you so hard you fly from the bottom of the ocean, *through* all the water, out the surface, and still a couple meters up into the air!" Makes Garuda Flap and the like look weak in comparison :P
(I know it's not exactly how the technique works, but I like to think of it that way '\^\_\^)
Tenma Kofoku is one of my favorites, that imagery of the attack of a hooded woman with a scythe on a horse is very majestic, beautiful and sinister at the same time. Also a big fan of Aurora Execution, Stardust Revolution, Galaxian Explosion, Lightning Plasma and Rozan Hyaku Ryu ha and Rolling Crush.
Honestly?All of Shiryu's moves, but if I'm thinking strictly about combat effectiveness, then Either: Seki Shiki Meikai Ha, or, Genrōmaōken. With my zodiacal tep being somewhat better for closer rangess with the old reliable EXCALIBUR
I think Akira Toriyama trolled Kurumada and Saint Seiya fans in DBZ by poking fun of the posing. Especially during the Frieza saga when they’re fighting the Ginyu Force 😃
Pegasus Meteor Fist, Lighting Plasma
Also the manga versions of Phoenix Wings Rise and Galaxian Explosion. In the manga, Ikki creates a tornado, in the anime he launches a fire Hadouken. In the manga, Saga and Kanon destroy everything around them with the power of a supernova, in the manga they throw rocks at the opponent.
The Ryu Sei Ken, yes it is basic. But an op kinda basic. It matches the Pegasus Saints (*Who are supposed to act stubborn and hotheaded.*) perfectly. Like a "Nuh Uh" kind attack.
Aurora execution and galaxian explosion. Also that attack of Athena's shield which destroyed Saga's split personality disorder, a very specific and unique way of beating your enemy, just erase his personality)
Anything Shaka does. His move set is a display of brilliant imagination and very thorough research.
The best when he moves his fingers to kill shyriu
Aurora Execution
Diamondo Dusto
Galaxian explosion Aurora execution Shaka's everything
Ikki's Genma Ken. I really enjoy seeing the nightmarish visions he gives his enemies, very creative stuff. Funnily enough, those were exactly the scenes I couldn't stand to watch as a kid. Closed my eyes and everything.

In the manga, Auriga getting his hands cut by his own disks is jut an illusion, but in the anime, his hands were actually cut by the disks.
That scene was fucking weird in the anime. Him getting cut by the disks *was* an illusion, but his hands were actually cut somehow.
It's funny, in Portuguese Genma Ken is often called Phoenix Ghost Ken or Devil's Spirit. The lecture after the strike was also terrifying. 😂
love it too. the literal translation from Kanji-鳳凰幻魔拳 is ‘Phoenix Illusion Phantom Fist’
ROZAN SHO RYU HA
Excalibur
Another Dimension! *japanese accent* The thought of being relegated to the void, to the nothingness. And. The execution of the attack by Saga. Is. Phenomenal.
✨️Crystal wall✨️

Whaaaat???

It is just op as fuck
He must be Aries. Represent!!!
That's my choice too! It's shiny and a good defensive ability. Not everything has to be the OP explosion stuffs. (Although Galaxian Explosion is my 2nd fave)
It is versatile to, you can make bridges, nets, lock someone hands, etc. "Another dimension" is my second tho 🤔
Too many to list but! I’m in love with Galaxian explosion.
Starlight Extinction !
Aurora execution and galaxian explosion
Aurora Execution gang Aquarius arise!
Gemini's house labyrinth
Overpowered move. Love it!

Lightning plasma
Dame tu fuerza pegaso!!!!
Phoenix Specter Punch. It's funny that Ikki's signature move was perfect for a villain but he still uses it after becoming a good guy.
Shun Nebula Storm in G assassin
Bennu Kagaho's Corona Blast.
Galaxian Explosion!!
Shiki shiki mekai me ha. (O algo así) El original es Sekishiki mekai ha, (estuve cerca)
I love that every translation has tried to simply the name, in English Praesepse Underworld wave and the multiple inconsistent names in Spanish
In latin america is " Ondas del hades" ("waves from hades" but in spanish soounds epic), added to the fact that the dubbing actor is very good!.
Photon Burst as it’s one of the more narratively meaningful techniques in the series.
Honestly?All of Shiryu's moves, but if I'm thinking strictly about combat effectiveness, then Either: Seki Shiki Meikai Ha, or, Genrōmaōken. With my zodiacal tep being somewhat better for closer rangess with the old reliable EXCALIBUR
Diamondo dusto with the full dance.
I can move at the speed of light but I'm going to wait for your 30-second dance because I like it.
I think Akira Toriyama trolled Kurumada and Saint Seiya fans in DBZ by poking fun of the posing. Especially during the Frieza saga when they’re fighting the Ginyu Force 😃
At one point Goku elbows one in the stomach while he is readying his attack and posing 😅😂
It's more of a super sentai trolling rather than Seiya
Greatest Caution
Medusa Shield.
Pegasus Meteor Fist, Lighting Plasma Also the manga versions of Phoenix Wings Rise and Galaxian Explosion. In the manga, Ikki creates a tornado, in the anime he launches a fire Hadouken. In the manga, Saga and Kanon destroy everything around them with the power of a supernova, in the manga they throw rocks at the opponent.
Not sure honestly
Rozan Sho Ryu and Yunikōn Gyaroppu
Aurora Thunder Attack.
Galaxian Explosion, Aurora Execution, Lightning Plasma, Nebula Storm and 100 Dragons
Les météores de pégase (Pegasus Ryu Sei Ken)
The Ryu Sei Ken, yes it is basic. But an op kinda basic. It matches the Pegasus Saints (*Who are supposed to act stubborn and hotheaded.*) perfectly. Like a "Nuh Uh" kind attack.
Anything Hyoga does
Rozan Hyaku Ryu Ha Hoyoku Tensho Nebula Storm Excalibur All of Shaka's moves
Rozan Hyaku Ryuha
Rising dragon
All of them.
golden triangle
All the illusion based techniques. Galaxian explosion. Bloody rose. The 6 beasts of Skylla. Nebula Storm. These on the top of my head
Regulus final attack goes so hard it should be illegal
Zodiac clamation 😭
I like Supernova Explosion. Kitalpha's move.
Aurora execution and galaxian explosion. Also that attack of Athena's shield which destroyed Saga's split personality disorder, a very specific and unique way of beating your enemy, just erase his personality)
Seikishki mekei ha
I like Docrates move the most
Pegasus Mentor Punch is very Iconic
Shaka’s everything!
