Let's be honest here, the creators of the series were annoyingly meticulous when it came to keeping the rating of the series fixed in one place. Pointedly, just when we thought the main characters (or ANY characters, for that matter) were about to kiss, someone appeared out of hammerspace to keep the rating straight. Also, regarding matter of "straight" rating, even though lots of things were implied none were really....confirmed, right? For example: what on earth happened at the Libra Temple? Or how on earth did Athena manage to get herself impaled with a golden arrow, and yet survive for 12 hours... with a metal broomstick protruding from her chest? ... I don't think so...¬_¬
Anyway, fresh out of the oven and taken solely for this occation, we had two pictures taken undercover by our secret agents. Two veritable "Kodak Moments" caught behind the scenes during the ongoing war of the saints. Two moments of weakness: on is a case of bad aim, the other is a case of excellent aim. ^_~

Now...
wasn't that perfectly satisfying? Imagine the gold-apple rust had a poisonous
effect on golden arrow wounds (hey, Kurumada isn't the only one that can come
up with crummy arguments that make sense only because he says so!) and they
weren't able to pull it out. I mean, let's be serious, Seiya had never in
his entire life picked up a bow and arrows, and suddenly, just because it's
the flashy thing to do, he decides to punch a hole through Eris' head and
somehow manages to NOT hit Athena in the process, yet he gets the APPLE? Sorry,
but no. I don't buy it. I like this version better.
And now, the second kodak moment! (in case you wondered, this take below is
the case of *GOOD* aim)

*fanning herself* Woo hoo? ^___^ This is much more like it! A much more plausible version of why Hyoga was so full of hype when he showed up at Milo's temple, just as it explains why Shun was so...*cough cough* spent. ^_~ I mean, really! All those "almost but not quite" shots of poor, innocent little Andromeda feeling Hyoga up... perhaps being Hades deep down adds a certain kink to event he purest of souls? Baaaaaad Shun....*droooools*
