Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Center

Primary

The film's central conflict revolves around universal themes of heroism, loyalty, and fighting corruption to restore a benevolent, divinely appointed order. Its mythological framework and archetypal struggle prevent it from aligning strongly with specific progressive or conservative political ideologies.

This Japanese animated film, based on a popular manga, maintains character designs consistent with its source material. The narrative centers on classic heroic themes without explicitly engaging with or critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.

Secondary

The character Milo, the Scorpio Gold Saint, who is canonically male in the original Saint Seiya manga and anime, is portrayed as female in this film adaptation. This constitutes a gender swap for a significant character.

The film "Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the traditional hero's journey and battles, without incorporating elements related to sexual orientation or gender identity.

Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative centers on the established mythology of the Saint Seiya universe, focusing on action and character development within that framework, without exploring gender identity.

The film features Saori Kido (Athena) as the central female character, whose role is primarily divine and non-physical combat. Other female characters, such as Shaina and Marin, have very minor roles and do not engage in or win any direct physical combat against male opponents.

The animated film maintains the established visual racial characteristics of its main characters from the original manga and anime series. No characters canonically established as one race are portrayed as a different broad racial category.
