Character review: Libra Dohko from Saint Seiya

Greetings my dear friends, today I come to talk about a super important character and one of the most interesting of all Saint seiya. This is Dokho, the Saint of libra, this character is very versatile and carries a very big and important responsibility for the war. He was one of the survivors along with Shion of Aries in the previous holy war and is a unique Saint in his category since Athens granted him the power of Misopethamenos to have longevity.

This strange power causes the heartbeat to be slow, this generates that his aging is slow and in turn remains in a constant phase of meditation where it is enriched with wisdom and much more power to be prepared, develops a power of self-control and patience, this is important as it is crucial to his role as watchman and protector of Athens to any dark power that wants to end it.

Throughout all this Dokho is a master who tries to teach everything he has learned, his immense wisdom, thirst for justice and sacrifice are part of his motto and legacy of life, training saints with a lot of morals, it is here when he meets Shiryu saint of the Dragon, they developed a special connection and Dokho teaches him his techniques. Unlike Shiryu who has a Dragon tattooed on his back, Dohko has a tiger, which indicates that he has a strong connection with nature.

In the saga of Hades he returns to normal body and wears his golden armor to face the wraiths, this shows his life mission, that which was given to him by Athens, he wears his golden armor and fights against the wraiths. This marks his rebirth, a very important event for him and for humanity.

I want to finish saying what Dokho meant to Saint Seiya, he was an enigmatic character because the fact that he fulfilled his mission and that a saint from another era, has also been and has joined the new great holy war using all his power is truly apotheosis, he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself. His skills and knowledge marked a before and after for all saints, since he had never revealed himself as a saint of libra, his purpose showed the sacrifice for which he was sent, that is why his legacy endures and is undoubtedly a tenacious example of loyalty.
