In the source material Saga Gemini reveals himself to Seiya in the final hour before Saori's eventual death, showing his evil personality and trashing the floor with Seiya and then Ikki. The final confrontation is straight up different from the source material, more akin of a pop-corn movie.While core scenes are adapted, others like the journey through the Gemini house, Ikki's conflict with Shaka Virgo or the duel between Shun and Aphrodite Piscis are cut.

Alongside this, due to the exclusion of multiple characters, the journey through Sanctuary is shorter as many of the Gold Saints react differently to a group of knights going with a young girl through the temple.Saori likewise instead of remaining in the entrance of the temple unconscious and slowly dying, goes with the Bronze Saints through the Sanctuary. Likewise, Saori is changed considerably to be turned into a Naïve NewcomerAudience Surrogate for newcomers in the franchise. None of the Bronze Saints backgrounds are adapted beyond them being trained by the Mitsumasa Kido organization for Saori' protection, as she is the reincarnation of Athena.Adaptation Distillation: Inevitable, considering the movie is adapting 11 volumes into an hour-long movie, a lot of material had to be cut or changed for an abridged experience.He is not mentioned at all in the film, yet it is implied Shiryu learned everything he knows about the Sanctuary and his techniques through him. Downplayed with Libra Dorko, Shiryu's Old Master in the source material.In the original manga and anime, the Pope sends more and more of them as assassins to kill Saori and the Bronze Saints before they eventually decide to fight back and take the battle to Sanctuary, and two Silver Saints (Marin and Shaina) are relevant to Seiya's backstory and progress through the Sanctuary not to mention Shun wanted to avenge his master Deidalos's death at the hands of Piscis Aphrodite. Only one Silver Saint was adapted: Sagitta Ptolemy, the final knight that cursed Saori, making the heroes rush through the twelve houses.To elaborate: Seiya's goal of finding his older sister doesn't exist in the movie, his goal is purely Saori's protection Hyoga's backstory involving his mother and avenging her because of Aquarius Camus drowning her ship further in the sea is not adapted and Ikki's love interest Esmeralda nor master are ever mentioned. None of the Bronze Saints personal backgrounds or goals are adapted, making for less developed but easier to follow incarnation of the characters.Advertisement: Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary provides examples of:
