Welcome to the Saint Seiya Queer Poll!

The home for the new and improved Saint Seiya Queer Poll, officially starting in Pride Month, 2025.

Hi! Are you doing it this year too?

Hello! I've kind of risen back from my Tumblr Slumber (my Slumbr, if you will) fairly recently, so I regret to inform the public that I will not be hosting this year's edition of the Saint Seiya Queer Poll. However! That does not mean that it is Not being hosted at all! It warms my heart so much to see that the tradition is still being kept alive, this time being hosted at the blog @saintseiyaqueerpoll2026! I highly encourage everyone who voted in the Queer Poll last year to take part in this year's edition as well! I've seen there's some more variety in this year's edition, too, since it covers characters from some of the spin offs that I didn't get to last year!

Even if it's in a different blog this time, good luck and happy voting!

Sanctuary, we have our Winner!

At least in my current timezone, it is now September 9th, which means this tournament has been ongoing for exactly 101 days! Isn't that quaint. It's only after said amount of time has passed that we can announce that we have a Winner for this tournament, the character the Saint Seiya fandom taking part on these polls has all agreed deserves the title of the queerest Saint - Andromeda Shun!

Congratulations to our winner! I cannot say this outcome was particularly surprising, but if anything, that's just a testament to how deserving Shun was to win this. It cannot be understated how much of a queer icon he was for so many people who were young and queer themselves and stumbling into this fandom - in fear of getting a little too personal or sappy, me included, to be honest. He had always been my favorite, even before I had a particular vocabulary to describe just why that was.

So! Perhaps in due time, there will be another update posted in this blog about what could be done, perhaps in arrangement for next year? Things to improve upon or things (or characters!) you felt were lacking from this year's poll, but as of right now, I'd just like to give ourselves our time to celebrate this win! Congratulations, Andromeda Shun!

I did not realize this when I posted this.

Thank you for pointing it out, @t4tadrienette! I genuinely did not plan on making the announcement today because it would coincide with his birthday, I did not have his birthday in mind to be entirely honest - just how things worked out! This might as well be our present to him!

Congratulations on your victory, birthday boy!

Hello! Are you going to be posting the finals soon?

Hello! I'm really sorry that it's taken me a couple of days to actually post this little update, life has been a bit of a mess. That being said, yes, I do plan on posting the final round soon! Maybe I'm a bit of a sentimental, but I was waiting until today, actually, to post it with the start of the month!

Watch out for the poll, it's happening in around an hour at most!

Down to four contestants!

Thought I'd be radio silent for long? With the Semifinals knocking at our door? I couldn't possibly. We're reaching the final stretch of the tournament after we started more than a couple of months ago, and the Final Round is only inching closer and closer! Now we only have four contestants left who will have to fight for the title of the Queerest Character in Saint Seiya according to fandom perception. Who will have the honor?

One of these four characters will! Titans and pillars of fandom queerness have already fallen, now it's just a matter of time to see who gets the crown. And by a matter of time, I don't exactly mean long. I'm planning on posting the first match of the Semifinals today, so keep an eye out for that! As always, the Round will work as usual - one week to vote and one reminder when there's only a day left to vote for each match, the two matches posted a day apart to spread it out a little. Is everyone ready? I know I'm eager, personally!

As always, good luck to every single one of these contestants and to the voters that are rooting for them, and happy voting!
