Ok, second part of this! This one also took a long while to fully type out so now my fingers are just as numb as my brain right about now. Well, regardless of that, the last part of the Saint Seiya/Disney thing with Silver Cloths is here for all to read!
Megara & The Cerberus Cloth
Alright, this should be simple for me to explain so let just jump right into it! Now, based on the assumption that most people would have watched Disney’s Hercules at least once and remember it, the reason I choose the Cerberus Cloth for Meg should be fairly simple. Since Cerberus is basically the guard dog of hell and Meg definitely has ties to said underworld, it makes sense for me to see Meg wearing this cloth if she became a saint. Also, I’m pretty sure sassy Meg wielding a cloth that has spiked balls and chains would make her look so bad-ass.
Jasmine & The Ophiuchus Cloth
Now for this one! Now Jasmine is perfect for the Ophiuchus Cloth because of the cloths ties to Jasmine’s culture. So, according to my research for this, the snake was considered holy in ancient Arabia since it seemed to embody the power of life. Apparently, snakes were considered immortal due to them renewing themselves by shedding their skin! Now since Jasmine is definitely Arabic and snakes were seen as important in her culture, I’m certain without a doubt that the Ophiuchus Cloth is the cloth for her. Also she’s feisty as hell and I can imagine that she’ll give her enemies a run for their money like Shaina!
Merida & The Sagitta Cloth
I mean, come on, she’s an archer; Did you really think any other cloth would suit her better than this? Honestly, Merida has been simple for me in terms of imagining her place in a Saint Seiya/Disney crossover. So far, it’s been simple for me choosing which Gold Saint she would pair up with and which cloth she would wear as a saint. Yep, out of all the others, Merida is the one that gives me less grief.
Pocahontas & The Eagle Cloth
Same like Jasmine! Now in Native American culture, both Bald and Golden Eagles are highly revered and considered sacred, representing honesty, truth, majesty, strength, courage, wisdom, power and freedom; All of which fit Pocahontas to a tee. The Golden Eagle is partially associated with warriors, so Pocahontas earning the right to wear this cloth as a saint also fits well in my decisions. Out of all the sliver cloths, the Eagle Cloth is the one Pocahontas should rightfully wear, no questions asked.
Snow White & The Peacock Cloth
Now, I have two reasons for choosing to pair Snow with this cloth. One reason is that peacocks are known for their beautiful feathers compared to any other bird, and since Snow is known to be ‘The Fairest of them All’, it seems reasonable to pair the most beautiful bird with the fairest maiden, right? Now the second reason leans into the first one, in which Snow White wearing this cloth is also ironic. Now peacocks, while seen as beautiful, are also seen as very vain and narcissistic in many cultures; They are even seen as the animal for the sin of Pride in Christian religion. Snow White, on the other hand, doesn’t even consider her beauty and is rather humble in nature, in contrast to her envious, prideful step-mother. The irony of Snow White wearing the Peacock Cloth is another reason why I believe the cloth is perfect for Snow.
Alright, done and done! Finally gotten these Saint Seiya/Disney crossover things out! Although it was rather hard typing an essay’s worth of post content, I actually enjoy making these; It gives my out of control imagination some ground to stand on. Anyway, as usual, hope you enjoyed and until next time!
