Saint Seiya Aries Shion Myth Cloth EX in Hades Specter Surplice presents a towering contrast between purity and menace. The Aries gold-toned armor remains discernible beneath darkened spectral plating, with Shion's ram-horns crest gleaming against the black Surplice, and subtle gold trim catching light on the chest and pauldrons. The figure captures dynamic pose and texture: layered cloth cape, finely sculpted musculature, and articulated joints designed for dramatic display. The color palette blends ivory whites and metallic gold with deep onyx and violet accents, emphasizing the arcane energy that accompanies the Specter form. Each scale of the Surplice armor is rendered with meticulous linework; translucent effects on the eyes and energy aura evoke an otherworldly presence. The base supports a poised stance, inviting fans to recreate Shion's pivotal Hades arc confrontations, the contrast between saintly resolve and darker power highlighted in every angle.

Aries Shion is the elder Saint who embodies wisdom, duty, and mercy within Sanctuary. In the long nights of the Hades arc, Shion steps beyond his usual role to confront the tide of despair that threatens Athena and the world of mortals. The Hades Specter Surplice, worn by Shion in this saga, symbolizes the crossing of boundaries between light and dark, offering formidable power but demanding a heavy price in soul and conscience. He fights not for glory, but to shield friends and to protect the ideals of justice he has upheld since youth. Throughout trials, Shion's strategic mind and unbreakable resolve anchor the Saints as they navigate underworld trials, betrayals, and revelations. The journey reveals his mercy tempered by stern discipline, his leadership guiding others to endure pain, keep faith with their covenant, and believe in a brighter dawn once the specter veil finally recedes.
