Well, if they don't know any better, then why not accuse your opponent of cheating just for the sake of it? If rule 8 is divine law, then it must be fulfilled. If the representatives don't know that it WASN'T cheating, then they just have to assume that it WAS! Or else, how could rule 8 ever truly be enforced?Second on my agenda of criticism: they gave up after rule 8! Rule 9 simply states that the other rules exist, as if I couldn't figure that out already. A heckler cries out: "Quite the contrary, it ensures the permanence of the previous rules!" To you I say this: if the god of games believes that the rules should not change, then why would such a god change them in any case? It is merely affirming one's own opinion, that is, I made these rules, and I will tell myself that I will not change these rules (but of course I wont!). Now, here's the real kicker: what rule protects rule 9 from change? I see no such rule. Therefore, I propose an amendment: rule 11: "Rule 9 now says that all the previous rules will change. " Now let's shift our eyes over to rule 10. What a pathetic excuse for a rule! And all in a sorry attempt for a satisfaction of base 10. A true god would know the superiority of base 12 anyway.
Let me give you a better set of rules, from a far more mature kind of game.

4/10.
Going back to the aesthetic qualities and expanding on them, it's truly where the series stands out as rule of cool. Along with the creativity within the armour of each character, the change of Kurumada's art style to this equally as iconic style of Shingo Araki's lead to it's art possibly being the best of Toei's TV Anime. The soundtrack has an excellent range from triumphant or emotional orchestras to cool rock in order to really fit the tone of each scene. Voice acting is also great with some very well revered seiyuu establishing their performances as iconic with the characters such as Toru Furuya's performance as Seiya, Hirotaka Suzuoka as Shiryu or Hideyuki Tanaka as both Aiolia and the narrator.
Overall, Saint Seiya is a fairly enjoyable series, even if fairly flawed. It's far from the peak of Shonen as even during it's era, there were quite a few Shonen of overall better quality such as Hokuto no Ken or the original series of Dragon Ball. However, what tropes of Shonen it established and utilised, it at least performed them better than most, if not all, Shonen to copy it's formula thereafter such as Yu Yu Hakusho and Bleach. Along with having some pretty likeable and unique characters, it deserves a place amongst the good Shonen titles.

I remember thinking the Galaxian Wars arc was fun and a nice introduction to the characters.
