The Gemini Brothers’ Domination Plan: Harnessing Powers That Rival the Goddess’s Divine Blood

The Unmatched Power of the Gemini Twins

Within the legendary ranks of the Gold Saints, the Gemini twins, Saga and his younger brother Kanon, stand apart as paragons of immense power, strategic intellect, and formidable charisma. Revered throughout the realm as “Lord Saga” and “Master Kanon,” these two were forces of nature, destined for greatness—or infamy.

A Path from Darkness to Redemption

Their journey was anything but straightforward. Both brothers initially succumbed to the seductive pull of darkness, embracing their sinister potential. Yet, in a remarkable twist of fate, each experienced a profound awakening of conscience. They ultimately renounced their evil ways, choosing to fight once more as Gold Saints under the banner of the goddess Athena. This complex duality—the constant struggle between light and shadow—is a quintessential trait of the Gemini archetype, symbolizing the multifaceted nature of their personality.

A Blueprint for Total Domination

The central conflict of the epic revolves around Athena’s defense of Earth against the usurping gods, Poseidon and Hades. While the Sea King’s Great Flood and the Underworld Lord’s Eternal Eclipse were catastrophic threats, they were almost simplistic compared to the meticulously layered, grand-scale conspiracy orchestrated by the Gemini brothers. Had it not been for the intervention of Athena and the five Bronze Saints, their master plan for total control over the three realms—Earth, Sea, and the Underworld—would have been unstoppable, leaving even Hades powerless to resist.

Phase One: The Calculated Deception

The plan was set in motion with a masterstroke of deception. Saga, feigning righteous fury, publicly denounced his brother Kanon as irredeemably evil and had him imprisoned in the underwater cell of Cape Sounion. This location was no random choice; it was a calculated move by Saga, positioned directly above the seal containing Poseidon’s soul and his divine trident. The imprisonment was a clever ruse, a smokescreen designed to covertly insert Kanon into the heart of the Sea Realm’s power structure.

Some believe Kanon’s survival was due to a fortuitous intervention by the infant Athena’s cosmos. However, to attribute this to mere chance underestimates Saga’s genius. The reality is that a Gold Saint of Kanon’s caliber could never truly be contained or killed by mere seawater. The “rescue” was a convenient coincidence, but never a necessary part of the gamble. Their plan accounted for his own formidable power from the start.

Phase Two: Consolidating Power

Meanwhile, Saga’s “righteous” act against his brother bolstered his reputation within the Sanctuary. He was hailed as a paragon of justice and was subsequently chosen by the previous Pope, the former Aries Gold Saint Shion, as a candidate for succession. When the title was instead bestowed upon the Sagittarius saint, Aiolos, Saga’s carefully laid plans were disrupted. Forced to adapt, he swiftly eliminated Shion, framed Aiolos for treason, and seized control of the Sanctuary by impersonating the Pope. For years, he ruled unquestioned, with only a few distant saints suspecting the truth.

Phase Three: The Sea and the North

While Saga consolidated his terrestrial power, Kanon was executing his part of the scheme with equal brilliance. Infiltrating the Sea Realm, he gained the trust of a not-fully-awakened Poseidon (inhabiting the body of Julian Solo) and was appointed as a Mariner General. From this position of authority, Kanon effectively usurped control of the entire oceanic army. His ambition didn’t stop there. Using Poseidon’s name and the mind-controlling power of the Nibelung Ring, he subjugated Queen Hilda of the Asgard, thereby bringing the powerful God Warriors of the North under his indirect command. In one fell swoop, the combined might of the 88 Saints, the Seven Mariners, and the Asgardian warriors was secretly united under the Gemini banner.

Overcoming the Final Hurdle

This convergence of power created an army capable of overwhelming Hades’s 108 Specters. Their strategy was arguably the most ambitious power play in the entire saga. However, one strategic weakness remained: the absence of Athena. Without the goddess, her Saints would lack access to the divine “blood” (often colloquially referred to by fans) necessary to sanctify their cloths for the final battle in Elysium.

But the ever-resourceful Gemini brothers, true to their innovative and adaptive nature, had already conceived a potential solution. If the Goddess’s sacred power was unavailable, perhaps a God’s could serve as a substitute. They theorized that while Athena’s blood held immense power, Poseidon’s essence—his divine vitality—could possess a comparable, if different, miraculous property.

This leads to a final, brilliant piece of foreshadowing. Notice how Julian was escorted to the underwater palace: not by Kanon himself, but by the mermaid, Thetis. Why would the master strategist delegate such a crucial task? The answer lies in his long-term planning. By having a female warrior be the one to intimately escort and attend to the human vessel of a male god, Kanon was strategically positioning himself to potentially harvest Poseidon’s divine essence when the time was right. It was a contingency plan born of flawless, coldly logical Gemini intellect. Master Kanon’s (calculation) was indeed impeccable, leaving no variable unaccounted for in their breathtaking quest for domination.
