Sōma — Lionet Knight

Bronze Saint — Lionet · Omega

Sōma is the Lionet Saint in Saint Seiya Omega and the son of Jabu — one of the Bronze Saints of the original series. Where his father was often presented as the rival slightly below the five main heroes, Sōma immediately establishes himself as a full-fledged fighter in the new generation.

His fire Cosmos is the direct expression of his temperament: ardent, direct, uncompromising. Sōma does not calculate in advance like Haruto, does not meditate like Ryūhō. He burns. And when he burns for the right reasons — defending his friends, honouring his legacy — his power exceeds what his opponents anticipated.

His bond with Kōga is one of the most natural in the group. Two impulsive fighters who understand each other without needing to explain it, two Cosmos burning with the same intensity. In moments when the team falters, it is often Sōma's raw energy that provides the momentum needed to keep going.

Abilities & Techniques

Lionet Burning Fire

His signature technique — a Cosmos fire conflagration in the shape of a roaring lion. The heat generated surpasses that of an ordinary star by Omega standards.

Fire Cosmos

Fire is the natural expression of the Lionet since the original series. Sōma inherits it from his father Jabu but amplifies it through his own emotional intensity.

Crimson Justice

A higher-level attack developed in Season 2 — a bright red fire Cosmos explosion that consumes everything it touches.

Raw Power

Sōma is not the most subtle of fighters. His strength lies in intensity and conviction. His direct attacks force opponents to retreat rather than dodge.

Evolution

01 —Jabu's legacy — Son of Jabu of the Lionet — a Saint from the original series — Sōma grows up with the pressure of honouring that name. His first encounter with the Lionet Cloth is an obvious destiny.

02 —Meeting Kōga — The friendship between Sōma and Kōga is immediately born of fighter camaraderie. Two impulsive fighters, two fires — their bond is one of the most natural in the group.

03 —Confronting his past — An event tied to his father or his legacy forces Sōma to move beyond mere pride in the family name and forge an identity that is truly his own.

04 —Crimson Justice — culmination — Mastering his higher-level technique represents his personal achievement: a fire that no longer burns to prove something, but to protect what matters.
