This statue ofVirgo Shaka is an interpretation of the episodes "Shaka, the Man closest to God" and "Fear of the void! Shaka opening his eyes" from the Sanctuary arc. As the three Gold Saint, Shiryū, Seiya and Shun, arrive at the Maiden's Temple, they find Shaka resting on his golden Lotus, ready to duly welcome them. While their host defeats them in a jiffy and prepares to finish off Shun in cold blood, his brother Ikki appears and engages in a veritable tug of war with his adversary. After a fierce fight illustrated by the Maiden Temple’s pillar in demolition, the one who claims to be the reincarnation of Buddha will prove that if his soul is of infinite purity, his cruelty is limitless too.
