A God Warrior from the icy region of Asgard, heretofore unmentioned, shows up and beats up a Gold Knight offscreen so we know he's a Bad Dude. OK. Sure. I hate this already, but I understand the storytelling
technique of having them take down someone we know is strong to prove that they are stronger and a threat to the main cast. Fine. In the second episode of this arc, the bronze saints are already in Asgard fighting the God
Warriors in
what is basically Another Sanctuary Arc. Insultingly, they show some of the infiltration we were just to
assume the bronze knight had done in flashbacks later. They fight each of the God Warriors individually, exposit backstory details that mean absolutely nothing outside of these fights we will never think of again, and they make progress towards saving Athena, who has been essentially removed yet again. On paper, this is so similar to the Sanctuary arc that you could be forgiven for thinking that I'm overreacting when I say it is a 1/10. But it's literally just the worst parts of it with nothing else. It's so aggressively formulaic and badly structured that it comes off as a story written by someone who hates shonen battle manga and wants this story to convince other people to hate it.
