Description
Mu de Aries is the Gold Saint of the Aries constellation during the twentieth century, serving as the guardian of the first temple, the House of Aries, within the Sanctuary. He was born on March 27 in Tibet and trained in the mystical region of Jamir. Under the tutelage of Shion, the former Grand Pope and previous Gold Saint of Aries, Mu achieved the rank of Gold Saint at a young age. After suspecting that his mentor had been quietly assassinated and replaced by an impostor, Mu voluntarily left the Sanctuary and relocated to Jamir, a secluded land that can only be reached by those with sufficient psychic or cosmo power. There, he lived in solitude with his young apprentice Kiki, cutting ties with the Sanctuary’s hierarchy and continuing his study of cloth repair and psychic arts.
Mu possesses a calm, soft-spoken, and scholarly demeanor, often approaching situations with patience, logic, and moderation. He is known for his even temperament and rarely allows emotions to override his reasoning. This rational and reserved nature sometimes gives him an air of detachment, as he prefers to observe and assess before acting. He is deeply intelligent and perceptive, having long suspected the corruption within the Sanctuary yet choosing not to openly confront the false Pope until the truth became undeniable. His motivations are rooted in a principled loyalty to Athena and a quiet sense of duty, but he acts cautiously, weighing the consequences of his involvement. He supports the Bronze Saints from behind the scenes, offering guidance and material aid rather than direct intervention until the circumstances demand it.
In the story, Mu first appears when Shiryu seeks him out to repair the damaged Pegasus and Dragon Cloths after the Galaxian War. Mu is introduced as an otherworldly figure living in a remote mountainous region, possessing powerful telekinetic abilities. Later, during the Battle of the Twelve Houses, the Bronze Saints encounter him again as the Gold Saint guarding the first temple. Rather than fighting them, Mu reveals that their Cloths are riddled with invisible cracks and would shatter against any Gold Saint’s attack. He spends an hour repairing all four Bronze Cloths and then explains the concept of the Seventh Sense, teaching the Bronze Saints that Gold Saints draw their power from the macrocosm rather than the microcosm. This knowledge proves pivotal for the protagonists in their subsequent battles. Throughout the Sanctuary arc, Mu remains in his temple as the Bronze Saints advance, careful not to openly side against the false Pope until the outcome becomes clear. He later plays a significant role in the Hades arc, where he fights alongside the other Gold Saints against the forces of the underworld. He also appears in the Soul of Gold storyline, where he is revived in Asgard and aids Aioria after healing his wounds from a battle with one of the God Warriors.
Mu maintains several key relationships. He is the master of Kiki, a young apprentice who learns the art of cloth repair and psychic abilities under his guidance. He holds great respect for the ancient master Libra Dohko, who is over two hundred years old. He shares a friendship with Taurus Aldebaran, one of the few Gold Saints he trusts. He also acts as an ally and mentor figure to the five Bronze Saints, especially Seiya, Shiryu, Hyoga, Shun, and Ikki, providing them with repaired Cloths and strategic knowledge at critical moments. His relationship with his predecessor Shion is central to his backstory, as the suspected assassination of Shion led to Mu’s self-imposed exile.
Mu’s character develops from a cautious, withholding observer into a more active defender of Athena. Initially, he chooses silence and distance to protect himself and avoid direct conflict with the corrupt leadership. Over time, as the truth about the false Pope is exposed and the war against Hades escalates, he fully commits to the cause, fighting alongside his fellow Gold Saints and sacrificing himself when necessary. This evolution highlights his growth from a figure of quiet support to a warrior who gives everything for justice.
Mu is renowned for possessing the strongest raw psychic power among all living Gold Saints. His abilities include advanced psychokinesis, telepathy, teleportation, and illusion generation. He is the only person in the world capable of repairing severely damaged Cloths, a process that requires the rare metals Gammanium and Orichalcum, along with Star Dust Sand, and often a portion of the saint’s blood. His signature techniques include Crystal Wall, a defensive barrier that can absorb incoming damage; Crystal Net, which entraps opponents; Starlight Extinction, a powerful energy attack that can also release stored damage back at enemies; and Stardust Revolution, his ultimate offensive technique that unleashes a storm of cosmic energy. He also uses Glamour Illusion to confuse and disorient foes. These abilities make him a formidable defensive and counterattack fighter, capable of protecting allies and turning an opponent’s strength against them.
