Knights of the Zodiac, Vol. 18: The End of the Azure Waves

聖闘士星矢 Saint Seiya #18

by Masami Kurumada

When Julian Solo turned sixteen, he was given a strange golden trident...and became the human incarnation of the sea god Poseidon. Now Poseidon is bent on destroying the world in a flood of mythic proportions. To stop the implacable waters and rescue Princess Sienna, the incarnation of Athena, the Bronze Knights have descended to the bottom of the seven seas!

Having donned the Sagittarius Gold Cloth, Seiya is ready to face Poseidon...or is he? Now fully awakened to his powers, Poseidon can deflect even the Centaur's golden arrow with ease. Only ultimate friendship will allow the Bronze Knights to destroy the undersea pillars and learn the secrets of Poseidon's power. And only ultimate love--and ultimate sacrifice--will save Seiya's life! The Poseidon Saga reaches its shattering conclusion!

Reviews

[Joshua Sloan]

That might have been the single stupidest volume of a manga I've ever read.

[In_Mart]

Fin de l’arc Poseidon, les mêmes défauts pour les combats (les héros terrassés X fois par un dieu mais qui se relèvent toujours…) mais au moins ça n’a pas été trop étiré !

[Marcelo Mendonça]

Pus esse número para simbolizar a série completa dos Caaleiros do Zodíaco, a qual terminei a muito de ler e que faltam apenas 3 n°s para completar minha coleção...hehehe

[Sacha Amry]

Its Saint Seiya. Read and watched all volumes, this is why Saint Seiya is my favorite ANIME.

[Fugo Feedback]

Final flojo para una saga floja. En contraste con la mayoría de los tomos, este me gustó bastante menos que su equivalente animado.

[Ofertones]

Saint Seiya is the best anime
