Pegasus Meteor Fist[1] (ペガサス流星拳 Pegasasu Ryūsei Ken) is the main technique of the Pegasus saint. It consists in a very rapid discharge of punches in mid-short distance.
About[]
Although, by far, less powerful than Pegasus Comet Fist, it has been proven to be very effective on single enemies and groups alike. At first, Seiya used to move his arms in a way he symbolized the Pegasus constellation, but later on, this was either skipped or shortened. According to Leo Aiolia, the move unleashes about 100 punches per second, much of Seiya dismay since Aiolia's Lightning Plasma hit about 1 million times per second. Due to consecutive battles and the awakening of the miraculosity, Seiya was able to enhance the move, unleashing as many "meteors" as Aiolia's "bolts".
The real (and measured) power of the technique, is quite wide and nonspecific. In most battles, his first Meteor Punch is shown weak and ineffective but due Saiya's well known faith and tenacity eventually hurts or even defeat his foes (which is a contradiction since it has been told that a technique cannot be used on the same Saint twice). The Pegasus Comet Fist is what happens when several "meteors" of the Pegasus Meteor Fist technique meet.
However it has been proven through Seiya's many battles that this technique can grow ever stronger. The more powerful the intensity at which Seiya burns his cosmo, the more numerous and faster the barrage becomes, making it so it is at the end impossible for the receiving foe to block all the attacks and is ultimately catapulted by the barrage of fists.
This is proven numerous times when Lizard Misty, Gemini Saga, Mizar Zeta Syd, Sea Horse Baian and Acheron Charon, all tried to block the technique and while initially successful, they ended up at the receiving end of his blast. Although in some cases Seiya used the Pegasus Comet Fist to penetrate defenses, it is evident that whenever Seiya uses this technique while under the Seventh Sense, the speed and power boost is so dramatic, his enemies are eventually overwhelmed by the drastic increase in momentum (this could explain why enemy Saints have failed to counter the attack even after seeing it once).
The constant flurry of attacks can also prove to be offensively destructive, as evidenced during his battle against Dubhe Alpha Siegfried as both their techniques clashed, Seiya ultimately triumphed when the bombardment was too much for Siegfried to handle.
