- Scarlet Needle: Milo launches a crimson needle to 14 parts of the body to poison opponents, makes them bleed, and scream in pain, losing their 5 senses in the process.
- Scarlet Needle(Antares): The final attack and the main point of Scorpio. If the rival has not yet been defeated after 14 Scarlet Needles, Milo uses Antares. Whoever receives 14 Scarlet Needles and Antares will die. However if the Antares is not delivered, the victim might survive and gradually recover over a period of a few days given the massive blood loss.
- Phantom Scorpion: Doesn't exist in the anime or it has not yet been revealed.
Scorpio Milo is also one of the fastest of the Gold Saints along with Leo Aiolia. He has been known to devastate opponents with lightning speed before they are able to finish their own attack. Seiya learned this the hard way when he failed to heed Milo's warning that he was still no match for a Gold Saint even if his blows were getting near light speed.
[edit] Favor to a Friend
Milo is first seen at the Scorpion House, where he confronted Pegasus Seiya and Dragon Shiryu. The two Bronze Saints were no match for Milo's power. First they were set back by his Restriction, and later injured by his Scarlet Needle. After all hope was lost, Cygnus Hyoga, along with an unconsicous Andromeda Shun, arrived to the Scorpion House where he challenged the Gold Saint. Milo, once again, attacked Hyoga with his Restriction technique, although it had no effect in the Cygnus Saint due to the fact that Hyoga's body was being protected by ice. After his first attact was ineffective, Milo started to use his Scarlet Needle on Hyoga. Hyoga could do nothing against Milo's speed, and after almost all his attacts failed to injure the Gold Saint, a nearly senseless Hyoga awakened his seventh sense and launched an Aurora Thunder Attack on Milo. At the same time Milo attacked Hyoga with the last Scarlet Needle, Antares. Both fighters clashed in the middle of the House, but Hyoga dropped to the floor after he received Antares. Looking down at Hyoga, Milo saw that he was trying to crawl to the next House, after seeing this the Gold Saint realized that Hyoga's attack had frozen his Gold Cloth in the fifteen places where the stars of the Scorpion are located. Following this, Milo recognized that Hyoga had hit him just as he received Antares, and if he had not been wearing his Gold Cloth, he would probably have died first. Milo as a true Saint admitted his defeat, and after he stopped Hyoga's bleeding he allowed him to go to the next House. After the battle in the 12 Houses ended, to atone himself, Milo used his own blood to repair the Cygnus bronze cloth.
[edit] The Begining of the End
In the Hades Arc, Milo is shown at the Pope Hall talking with Athena, she tells him that a Saint has come to the Sanctuary, in order to help them defeat Hades. After this revelation, Milo decides to return to the Scorpion House to watch over it. However, as he exists, a cosmos attack arrives at the Hall and injures the new arrived Saint. At that momment, Milo realizes that the new saint is none other than Gemini Kanon. Angered, the Gold Saint demands to Kanon to leave the Sanctuary, after Kanon refuses, Milo attacks him with his Scarlet Needle, and reminds him that 15 Scarlet Needles are needed to kill an opponent, one for each star in the Scorpio Constellation. Milo also tells Kanon that the person who receives the Scarlet Needles has only one of two choices, to lose their mind or their life. Even after Milo tells this to Kanon, he still refuses to leave, Milo continues launching his attacks on Kanon. Due to the commotion, Athena enters the room and is horrified after seeing Kanon, she tells Milo that Kanon is now their friend and that she has forgiven him. However, Milo only responds that even if she has forgiven Kanon, all the other Saints would never forgive Kanon after what he had done as the Sea Dragon General. Kanon urged Milo to finish his attack for he would not leave even if he became crazy or died, Milo attacked Kanon with Antares, after he finished, Kanon fell into a bloody mess in the ground. Milo apologized to Athena and walked to the exit, but before he could exit, Kanon rose and asked him if he would leave Athena with an enemy. Milo only said that in that room there was no enemy, only a fellow Gold Saint, Gemini Kanon. After Milo finally returned to the Scorpion House, Kanon told Athena that Milo had only been testing his loyalty, and that the last attack was not Antares, but a fake hit which stopped his hemorrhage (Similar to what he did to cure Hyoga in the Sanctuary Arc).
Latter in the Arc, he arrived to the Virgo House to finally stop Gemini Saga, Aquarius Camus, and Capricorn Shura after they killed Virgo Shaka using the forbidden technique, Athena Exclamation. Milo attacked the three former Gold Saints using 14 of his Scarlet Needles on each one of them, but when he was going to use Antares, Saga attacked him by using his Galaxian Explosion technique. The three spectres threatened to kill all the Saints present at the Virgo House using once more the Athena Exclamation. But they forgot something, as Leo Aiolia explained, in the Virgo House there were other three Gold Saints, the exact number needed to perform the forbidden technique. Scorpio Milo, Aries Mu, and Leo Aiolia prepared to attack the spectres with the same technique, the two groups unleashed the Athena Exclamation and instantly the infinite power destroyed the Virgo House. The power of the two attacks were so even that they did not move at all. Eventually, the combined power of these two attacks were deflected by Dragon Shiryu (in the anime, it was by the combined power of all 4 Bronze Saints). Athena beckons the two parties to stop fighting and come to her at her palace. Athena tells the fallen Gold Saints that they no longer have to suffer and commits suicide (secretly invoking the 8th sense as told by Virgo Shaka in the petals he sent her). It was then that the true intention of Aries Shion was revealed: they came to Sanctuary as Spectres to tell Athena of the God Cloth, and that the only way to defeat Hades was to enter Hell using the Eighth Sense - the ability to go the realm of the dead while having the will to live.
[edit] Scarlet Light Shining in the Underworld
When Mu, Aiolia and Milo arrived to Hades' castle, they faced Wyvern Rhadamanthys, one of the three Judges of Hell. To their shock, Rhadamanthys easily overpowers the three of them, due to the fact that Hades' castle is under his will and cosmo - all Saints have their power reduced to 1/10th (this was stated by Gemini Kanon in the anime and in the Manga). Even after receiving Aiolia's Lightning Plasma, Mu's Starlight Extinction, and Milo's Scarlet Needles he defeats all three of them easily using his Greatest Caution technique, and throws them into the abyss to Hell. When Seiya was cast into the frozen Hell where those who dare to defy the gods are kept, he saw Mu, Aiolia and Milo trapped in there as well, apparently dead. However, upon Athena's arrival to Hell, they were revived by her power, and broke free. The three arrived to the Wailing Wall, the gateway to Elysion, where Virgo Shaka and Libra Dohko had already arrived before, the group attempted to break the wall with the weapons of the Libra Cloth, but they failed. Eventually, they had to gather all 12 Gold Cloths and Saints, to sacrifice themselves to open this gateway, and allow the Bronze Saints to reach Elysion - the paradise of the Gods - the true home of Hades.
[edit] Notes and Trivia
- Milo was only seven years old when Saga killed Shion.
- The only time Milo has ever used Antares, was in his fight against Cygnus Hyoga. Althogh, at the end he cured the mortal wound by pressing Hyoga's hearth.
- Milo's attacks are delivered with ease, making his opponents hesitant over their effect, though they instantly change their minds when they feel the extreme pain inflicted upon them by the Scorpio Saint.
- Normally Milo would give his opponents a chance to surrender between each hit of the Scarlet Needle.
