'Saint Seiya: The Hades Chapter' sticks closely to its manga roots and prioritizes story, action, and character growth over imposed identity politics. Casting and character traits feel organic, with no signs of forced representation or unrealistic competence given to characters purely for diversity's sake. The series instead emphasizes grit, sacrifice, and mythological storytelling.

Traditional views on heroism, masculinity, and loyalty are lionized rather than subverted. The show respects its mythological sources and treats religion and moral struggle with reverence. Family and sacrifice remain central themes, without any apparent attempt to undermine core cultural values or rewrite traditions to fit modern ideological narratives.

Alternative worldviews are presented where appropriate for the genre, with characters embodying a range of perspectives around duty, morality, and faith. No ideological uniformity or heavy-handed villainization of traditional stances. Instead, there is authentic conflict between different philosophies true to the genre's roots.
