I overall hold with the fact of Gold Saint rankings that Deathmask is the weakest Gold Saint. Other rankings are ambiguous depending on point of analysis. Dohko's strength is actually yet to be seen for the most part--even SoG fails to show his strength, and against Andreas, it's a bit ambiguous, and SoG isn't canon.

Overall, though, Deathmask, Aphrodite, and Aldebaran are usually said to be the weakest, and then it turns ambiguous.

For Milo, he is the fastest Gold Saint, and overall, people make the mistake that his technique needs time to kill. That's untrue. His sense of justice makes him give enemies the opportunity to redeem--14 extremely painful needles before Antares, which will definitely kill an opponent.

Canonically in anime, Milo has never killed or completed launched Antares, haha. But in Episode G, it's said to be able to shatter any defense.

Anyways, I don't think Milo is as weak as people make him out to be. His defense, speed, and attack capabilities seem much more on-point than Aphrodite's, Aldebaran's, and Deathmask's.

Speaking of those three, they mostly lack flexibility. Deathmask's techniques are doomed if the opponent is affiliated with the Underworld. Aphrodite's Bloody Rose means the opponent needs to actually have a heart and blood; he also lacks defense. Aldebaran is too directly offensive, so even if his offense is strong, he is easily exploited.

 ...but I thought mascara was a fish."  -Galaxian-  01:42, January 12, 2020 (UTC)
