THE GOLD SAINTS

When Saori and company reach the foothills below Sanctuary in episode 40, they learn they will have to go through each of the Houses belonging to the Gold Saints before they can reach the training camp and the Master of Sanctuary himself. While technically the bodyguards of Athena, in practice the Gold Saints' main responsibility is the protection of Sanctuary itself. The twelve Gold Saints are:

The Gold Saints
ARIES MU
TAURUS ALDEBARAN
GEMINI SAGA
CANCER DEATHMASK
LEO AIORIA
VIRGO SHAKA
LIBRA ROSHI
SCORPIO MIRO
SAGITTARIUS AIOROS
SAGITTARIUS SEIYA
CAPRICORN SHURA
AQUARIUS CAMUS
PISCES APHRODITE

Gold Saints are the most powerful of all the Saints. Not only are they the most skilled and strongest in the martial arts of the Saints, but each usually has at least one personal power that eclipses any of their more physical skills. Both Aries Mu and Taurus Aldeberan describe it as being able to fully use and control their "seventh sense", which enables them to draw on the power of the macrocosm (not just their personal "microcosm") at any time they wish, usually through the mystic link they have with their totem Zodiacal constellation. Our five Bronze Saints must learn to properly control their "seventh senses" before they can defeat the Gold Saints and win Sanctuary back for Saori/Athena.
