Do not be fooled by his modest stature — Dio of Boötes is one of the Silver Knights one remembers longest after crossing him. At sixteen, with his 160 cm and nearly juvenile appearance, he does not cut an impressive figure in the Sanctuary's corridors. But on the battlefield, this young Mexican transforms into a cosmos storm that nothing seems able to stop. His speed is genuinely staggering — one blink, and he is already on the other side of the field, preparing his next assault.
His Dead End Fly is the perfect synthesis of his style: a fulminant cosmic dive that concentrates all the force of his trajectory into a single, devastating impact. Curiously, the Fly is one of the smallest constellations in the southern sky, yet Dio has made his armor one that commands respect from the most formidable warriors. In the Saint Seiya universe, size never defines the power of a cosmos.
