About (Part 1)

The Greek god Thanatos is one of the antagonist deities featured in Saint Seiya. As in Greek mythology, he is the personification of mortality and death, and the twin brother of Hypnos, the Greek god of sleep. In Kurumada's mythos, although he is a subordinate of Hades, the Emperor of the Darkness and ruler of the Underworld, he is a deity with all attributes, and as his lord, he is a sworn enemy of the protector goddess of the Earth, Athena. Kurumada introduced Thanatos in the final parts of the Hades arc of his manga, specifically in vol. 27, and he is portrayed as very cruel, merciless, hateful towards humans, haughty, and non-hesitant to whimsically inflict death. He was sealed along with his brother by Athena after being defeated in her last battle against Hades, in 18th century. Thanatos spent 243 years sealed in a box marked with the Seal of Athena, and only regained his freedom after the box was opened by a curiosity-driven 3 year-old Pandora, to whom he announced that the resurrection of Hades was near, and that she would serve them henceforth. As described by the Pegasus Saint Seiya when they first encountered, he is identical to his brother Hypnos, the only differences being Thanatos' silver-colored eyes and hair, as opposed to Hypnos' golden. A strange looking star is placed in his forehead. Unlike his brother Hypnos, who is calmer and more calculating, Thanatos is prone to lose his temper and act without any regard for consequences when influenced by rage. His dwelling place is the Elysion, and he spends most of his time there accompanied by scores of Nymphs, and his twin brother Hypnos, waiting to fulfill their lord Hades's bidding. Thanatos offered fierce opposition to the Saints of Athena, when they tried to rescue their goddess from certain death and stop Hades's Greatest Eclipse, which was meant to eradicate mankind. Thanatos duty is to impart death on all living beings when their time has come, or as divine retribution.

Abilities

As the god of death, Thanatos is able to cause death to any kind of living creature, no matter the distance. He is able to find his intended target, and attack him/her without the need of physical contact, using powerful blasts of energy. He is able to inflict excruciating pain on his victim, and cause instant death. Being a wielder of the "Big Will", the divine Cosmo of the Gods, Thanatos was able to completely smash five Gold Cloths with a single attack, an unprecedented feat. He is seemingly capable of psychokinesis, as stated by Ophiuchus Shaina, when she, along the Bronze Saints, Eagle Marin and Aries Mu's apprentice Kiki were attacked by the god, and were unable to detect the origin of the attack. The only one capable of detecting his energy blasts was Kiki, because he is skilled at psychokinesis. However, this may be only due to the fact that Thanatos' shots are invisible to mere mortals, as death itself has no visible form. In Kurumada's canon, Thanatos has but one special technique, known as "Terrible Providence". Indeed, this may be one of the most powerful techniques of the entire series: it takes form of an immensely powerful blast of energy of any form, be it a beam, an explosion or a number of energy blasts. Whatever the form, upon reaching the target the blast cripples their body and mind to the point of completely slaughtering them, annihilating the five senses at once while the mind is made instantly insane and the body is totally dismembered, as shown when the god unleashes this technique on Phoenix Ikki. It is worth noting however that this move's true power is never shown, be it due to Athena's protection or Thanatos' own arrogance.

Fighting skills

As the God of Death, his punches are to put the opponent in such physical pain that even his own soul begs for forgiveness, having a vision worse than hell. Manipulate the fabric of people's lives, so you can kill whoever he chooses, at any distance that is. It also has the ability to manipulate the chess pieces that exist within the Twin Gods Palace to create giant monstrosities based on them. and open dimensional portals to a godly dimension, that will destroy anything that is neither a deity or under divine protection. By owning a witty personality and his cruelty, also has the combat power that transcends that of humans. It can be argued whether he is the strongest of the twins, as overall, his fighting style is his like his personality, brutal, aggressive and destructive, the opposite of Hypnos more subtle and passive means of battle.

Residence

Elysium, also known as the Elysian Fields and commonly anglicized as Elysion, is ruled by Hades, who also rules the Underworld; it is depicted as a calm and idyllic paradise. Elysion is located on the other side of the Wailing Wall, and is the final resting place of the souls of the righteous and those who are selected by the gods. Athena, the Bronze Saints with Athena' blood and Ikki with Pandora's gift, travel through the Hyperdimension and emerge in Elysion. When Seiya arrives, some nymphs playing lyres with Thanatos and Hypnos fear him, due to the Saint's blood frightening them. Thanatos and Hypnos leave their own Temples to fight against the Bronze Saints. Later, the Bronze Saints rescue Athena from the urn and fight Hades's true body at the Temple of Hades. In certain Greek religious/philosophical sects and cults, the Elysian Fields are a conception of the afterlife that developed over time. Initially separate from the realm of Hades, admission was reserved for mortals related to the gods and other heroes. Later, it expanded to include those chosen by the gods, the righteous, and the heroic, where they would remain after death and live a happy life, indulging in whatever employment they had enjoyed in life.
