The one person that forever lives in Hyoga mind is his deceased mother. In the Hades arc, Hyoga paired with Dragon Shiryu as the saints of Athena waged war against the Underworld. In the Sanctuary arc, Hyoga became extremely close to Andromeda Shun after his comrade displayed an act of selflessness in attempt to revive his cosmos from death, constantly referring to how he owed Shun his life. During the battle with Phoenix Ikki, his tender side was revealed, and he slowly began to display his true personality. Since the saints are only Mitsumasa Kido’s protegés in the anime, this sub-plot isn’t there Hyoga competes with the same motivation as the other bronze saints: To win the Gold Cloth of Sagittarius, although during the Sanctuary wars Camus does sink Hyoga’s mother’s ship as he did in the manga. When the series began, Hyoga was depicted as cold and calculating, and he was often seen keeping distance from the other saints. His rage towards Sanctuary boiled after his master Camus made an unexpected visit to Siberia to sent his mother’s ship deep into the ocean’s abyss.* Once Silver saints began to target him along with the other bronze saints, however, he dropped his allegiance to Sanctuary. As he became more familiar with his subjects, however, Hyoga grew indecisive about his mission. He originally accepted this due to his hatred for the Graude Foundation, being aware that Mitsumasa Kido was his father.

Born in Russia, Hyoga originally did not choose to participate in the Graude Foundation’s Galaxian Wars until he received an order from Sanctuary to assassinate the other bronze saints. Hyoga is the bronze saint of The Cygnus constellation. Cygnus Hyoga // artwork by Shingo Araki (1987)
