DRAGON NO SHIRYU : CHARACTER HISTORY
Dragon Shiryu (龍星座「ドラゴン」の紫龍, Ryū Seiza (Doragon no Shiryū); Literally meaning “Purple Dragon”), also known as Shiryu is a bronze saint of Dragon. He is considered the most mature of the five heroes, and thus the wisest. As the Bronze Saint of the Dragon constellation, Shiryu dons the emerald Dragon Bronze Cloth, a jewel among the Cloths due to its legendary defense properties.
Out of all five main characters, Shiryū is known as the calmest and most collected; encompassing knowledge and strategic mind has seen him through several times. His sheer physical strength is the greatest of the Bronze Saints, with the possible exception of Phoenix Ikki. This is reflected in his ability to win numerous battles without his Dragon Cloth. Shiryū was trained at the Five Old Peaks (庐山五老峰) in China where he learned to reverse the waterfall’s flow with his techniques and obtained the Dragon Bronze Cloth. His mentor was the Libra Gold Saint, Libra Dōko.
Shiryu has only one weakness: He possesses a weak spot near his heart. This spot is always protected, except for when Shiryu performs his Rozan Sho Ryu Ha, during which he leaves the area unprotected for about a millisecond. However, only his master, his friend Seiya and Capricorn Shura have ever noticed this weakness, which is quite a feat considering the foes Shiryu has faced.
Shiryū sports a large tattoo-like image of a green and white dragon on his back. However, it is said in the manga and the anime that it is not a tattoo but is connected to his guardian dragon star and only appears as his Cosmo is rising. Whenever his life is in danger, the tattoo-like image begins to fade away—once it completely vanishes, it is a sign that Shiryu’s Cosmo is nearing zero, and Shiryu himself is nearing death.
During his training in Rozan (Mount Lu, 庐山), Shiryu had awakened his Cosmo and learned many fighting styles as well as fundamental wisdom from his master, Libra Dohko. During the Sanctuary Arc, Shiryu awakens the 7th sense in his fight against Cancer Deathmask. He awoke the 8th sense during the Hades Arc.
Shiryu’s armor, the Dragon Cloth, has a legendary reputation for being one of the hardest, even though it’s only a Bronze Armor. The armor includes the Dragon’s Shield, reputed to be the hardest of shields (said to be far, far harder than diamonds) and almost indestructible, and the Dragon’s fist, also harder than diamond. However, after losing a fight with Pegasus Seiya, Shiryu decided to never again rely too much on his armor. Whenever the fight seems lost, Shiryu is known to shed his armor, in order to be sure the power he has is his own, and to show that he doesn’t need his armor’s amazing qualities to win. This also serves as a very effective shock tactic against enemies, as most Saints consider fighting without their armors an act of sheer lunacy.
Shiryu has also developed the ability to fight without the use of his sight, since he’s been blinded several times. As such, illusions and blinding techniques are ineffective against him.

DRAGON NO SHIRYU : CHARACTER ABILITIES
ROZAN SHŌRYU-HA (廬山昇龍覇; Rising Dragon Punch)
Shiryu intensifies his cosmos and gives an upward blow be it punch or kick. The upward release of energy is comparable to the image of a majestic dragon rising towards the sky. A breath and drag violently hitting the opponent rose into the air with the image of a dragon devouring the opponent; Sometimes the attack is not completely vertical as when it slightly rotates around it’s prey. Unlike the techniques of the other Bronze Saints, however, Shiryu’s Rozan Rising Dragon Force does have one weakness—while performing the move, his heart will be left open for a millisecond. Only three people in the series have noted this: his master Libra Dohko, Bronze Saint Pegasus Seiya, and Gold Saint Capricorn Shura. When fighting Shura, Shiryu used this weakness as a decoy to lure Shura to hew his heart, then Shiryu was able to hurt Shura successfully.
ROZAN RYU-HISHŌ (廬山龍飛翔; Soaring Mountain Dragon)
An attack similar to Rozan Sho Ryu Ha, but in a horizontal forward rather than upward.
ROZAN HYAKURYU-HA (廬山百龍覇; One Hundred Rising Dragons)
Shiryu learned it from watching his master Dokho’s battle, even though he was blind at that moment. Dokho told Shiryu that his kindness was his disadvantage but at the same time his advantage. As well as removing any regret, Shiryu transcended the heart weakness of Rozan Rising Dragon Force. Standing with legs apart and the palms of his hands facing the opponent, he erupts his cosmos as intensely as possible while throwing a horde of 100 Dragons towards the enemy who is destroyed by the devouring dragons.
ROZAN KŌRYU-HA (廬山亢龍覇; Enraged Dragon Force)
Shiryu burns his Cosmos to the limit before capturing his opponent from behind and pushing the limit of Rozan Shō Ryū Ha creating the Rozan Kō Ryū Ha, the upward force launching Shiryu, carrying his target, into the skies. The two continue to climb until their bodies are incinerated and pulverized by the friction of the atmosphere. A suicide move intending to take the user’s opponent with them to death, the Rozan Ko Ryu Ha is known as a forbidden technique to Shiryu.
DRAGON EXCALIBUR (聖剣, Ekusukaribā)
After defeating Capricorn Shura, Shiryu is entrusted with the Gold Saint’s legendary technique Excalibur. Rather than a physical blade, Excalibur is a deadly Cosmo focused with precise sharpness on Shiryu’s right arm. Although Shiryu’s version of the sword was not as defined as Shura’s (Shiryu’s Excalibur lies only in his right arm, while Shura’s can be unleashed from any of his limbs), the Dragon later refined it to the point of rivaling Shura’s and used it to cut the unbreakable golden spear of Chrysaor Krishna, the powerful Mariner General, during the Poseidon Chapter. The axe technique of Specter Minotaurus Gordon defeated Shiryu’s Excalibur however, Shiryu used his fists from then on.
