Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas – Myth of Hades (聖闘士星矢 THE LOST CANVAS 冥王神話 Seinto Seiya: Za Rosuto Kyanbasu – Meiō Shinwa?), ou simplesmente The Lost Canvas, é um mangá de Shiori Teshirogi, um spin-off baseado na série de mangá Os Cavaleiros do Zodíaco, que foi criado, escrito e ilustrado pelo autor japonês Masami Kurumada. The Lost Canvas foi publicado pela editora Akita Shoten na revista Weekly Shōnen Champion, desde 24 de agosto de 2006, concluído após 223 capítulos em 6 de abril de 2011, compilados em 25 tankōbon. The story takes place in the 18th century, and focuses on how an orphan known as Tenma becomes one of Athena's 88 warriors known as Saints and finds himself in a war fighting against his best friend Alone who is revealed to be the reincarnation of Athena's biggest enemy, the God Hades.[1]

In June 2009, TMS Entertainment started releasing a series of original video animations based on the manga, and has produced 26 episodes so far. Teshirogi also started releasing a spin-off series from Lost Canvas two months after the series ended. Titled Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas – The Myth of Hades – Anecdotes (聖闘士星矢 THE LOST CANVAS 冥王神話 外伝 Seinto Seiya Za Rosuto Kyanbasu – Meiō Shinwa – Gaiden?), the spin-off focuses on sidestories related with several Saints before the events of the main series.

As of April 23, 2012, it was announced in the Shōnen Champion magazine that The Lost Canvas will cease being published weekly and will become a monthly comic starting in June, and shifting publishing to the newly created magazine, Akita's Bessatsu Shōnen Champion, supplementary to Shōnen Champion, resuming publishing of the remaining Anecdotes chapters in that date.[2] (ref 2 - Filtro de proteção contra spam)

Enredo[editar | editar código-fonte]

This manga tells the story of the previous Holy War, taking place in the 18th century, 250 years before the original series, in the Saint Seiya universe. The story centers on the fight between Tenma, one of the 88 Saints following Athena, and Alone, the reincarnation of the God Hades.[3] While the two were close childhood friends in Italy alongside Alone's sister, Sasha, the trio separated with both Tenma and Sasha being sent to the Sanctuary; while Tenma had the Cosmos, the Saints' energy, awaken, Sasha was revealed to be the reincarnation of Athena. As years passes, everything that Alone paints is destroyed, and he is convinced that death means salvation by the god Hypnos and his follower Pandora. Alone then gathers Hades' soldiers, the 108 Specters to start a war against Athena.

During the war, the Saints and the Specters face off. Tenma and Sasha have to deal with Alone who starts making the "Lost Canvas", a vast painting of the earth, in the sky, so that after he finishes it, the entire world will die. With Alone still not being fully controlled by Hades, Pandora, alongside Hypnos and his brother Thanatos lead the Specters. However, as the two Gods are sealed by the former Saints Pope Sage and Altar Hakurei, Alone invites the few remaining Saints to the Demonic Temples located in the Lost Canvas. Once the Saints go through the Temples, it is revealed that Alone is not possessed by Hades and is instead using the god's powers for his own motives. Additionally, Tenma's parents, Mephistopheles Yōma and Owl Partita appear as Specters in the Temples to force their son to transform his protective Pegasus Bronze Cloth into the most powerful armour, God Cloth. With the God Cloth, Tenma and his future reincarnations will be able to fight the Gods and aid Athena in ending all wars.

Following several battles in the Temples, Tenma faces Alone one-on-one with the former managing to defeat the latter, causing the Lost Canvas' destruction. Shortly afterwards, Alone is possessed by Hades who aims to kill Athena. Hades is forced by the souls from the deceased Saints to escape to the last Demonic Temple, and Tenma, Sasha, and Alone decide to follow him. The three manage to defeat Hades but they never return to Earth. The two surviving Saints, Libra Dohko and Aries Shion, then prepare for a possible future war against Hades, with the former leading the Athena's Saints and the latter observing Hades' seal.

Desenvolvimento[editar | editar código-fonte]

Shiori Teshirogi conheceu Masami Kurumada num evento público que visitou uma vez, durante o tempo em que ela era uma mangaká nova. Nesse evento, Teshirogi enviou a Kurumada o primeiro mangá que ela havia criado, assim como uma carta a Kurumada a fim de pedir-lhe para escrever The Lost Canvas. Apesar de que estava contente com essa proposta devido ao fato de que Saint Seiya sempre havia sido seu mangá favorito, encontrou-se entretanto com muitos problemas, porque ela estava acostumada a escrever shōjo e Lost Canvas está dirigido ao gênero shōnen. Para isso, Teshirogi teve que mudar várias coisas de seu estilo, como a narração e não obstantea se acostumar a desenhar lutas. Antes do início do mangá, Kurumada enviou para Teshirogi uma versão geral da história, todavia enquanto a série prosseguia, ela começou a mudar algumas partes depois de discutir com o pessoal da Akita Shoten. Além disso, os desenhos dos personagens e das armaduras foram baseados na segunda temporada da adaptação do anime Saint Seiya (conhecido como, Saga de Asgard) porém ela os combinou com seu próprio estilo.[4] Quando foi proposto para Teshirogi começar The Lost Canvas, ela foi informada que a série iria durar alguns volumes. No entanto, quando o décimo volume foi publicado, ela se surpreendeu pela extensão que a série havia alcançado.[5]

In the making of the series, emotions are what Teshirogi pays attention the most when she is drawing which makes remake several of the illustrations she makes. In both Saint Seiya and Lost Canvas, her favorite character is the Pegasus Saint, who has become the one she likes drawing the most.[4] When creating Tenma, Lost Canvas's Pegasus Saint, Teshirogi checked if Tenma's words would be like the ones from Seiya, but she realized that both characters had different personalities.[6] The Cancer, Pisces and Taurus Gold Saints were developed with Teshirogi's idea of what she could do with the ones from the original series. When she received comments that these three Lost Canvas Gold Saints are more interesting than the ones from the original series, she answered that she did not mean to give them any special treatment. The characters' names are created according to their origins and constellation such as Pisces Albafica whose "Alba" was developed when Teshirogi was thinking of roses' names.[4]

Recepção[editar | editar código-fonte]

Durante sua primeira semana, o volume 13 do mangá vendeu 25.238 cópias no Japão.[16]

A série de anime tem recebido críticas geralmente positivas pela mídia especializada. Tem sido elogiado por ser acessível aos telespectadores que não têm conhecimento do original Saint Seiya apesar de ser um preâmbulo, e, ao mesmo tempo permite aos fãs da série original ver os eventos de um ponto de vista diferente.[17][18] While the use of characters was noted to be common within Japanese series in general, the delivery from various of them such as Tenma's and Alone's relationship was noted to be enjoyable.[18] The animation was noted for standing out "beautifully" mostly in fights.[19] Although the attacks performed by the character was found unintentionally funny by UK Anime Network as a result of its names, the notable display of violence made the reviewer wonder whether the show should be aimed towards a young audience.[18]
