ilver Saint, the Beautiful Assassin

Misty was sent by the Sanctuary to Japan, together with 4 other Silver Saints, to kill the Bronze Saints. He eventually faced Pegasus Seiya in battle. Convinced of his superiority, Misty had no doubt he would defeat Seiya without even being hit. The Lizard Saint believed he was the most beautiful Saint, and to be injured would be an ultimate insult to him. Using the barrier he created with his technique, he managed to block every single hit of Seiya's Pegasus Ryu Sei Ken. Annoyed that Seiya's blood dripped onto his Cloth, he decided to bath himself in the sea, believing Seiya was defeated.

However, Seiya got back up, and continued his battle against Misty. Misty still managed to easily block Seiya's Pegasus Ryu Sei Ken. But Seiya focused the power of all his Ryusei Ken into one, and unleashed his new technique: Pegasus Suisei Ken, which managed to strike through Misty's defense to hurt him. Seiya then used the Pegasus Rolling Crush to finally defeat the Silver Saint.

Both in the manga and the anime adaptation, Misty stated that he had never felt pain from a battle, a fact that Seiya commented would cause his demise since it is their battle worn and scarred bodies that allow Saints to grow stronger. Misty might have had a cosmos powerful enough to be Silver Saint, but his body clearly lack the endurance of even the bronze saints. That could explain why he was unable to withstand the pressure from the Pegasus Rolling Crush dragging him deep into the sea.

Hades arc (manga & anime)

In the Anime adaptation of the Hades Arc from the manga, Misty had been resurrected by Hades and went with babel and Moses to Siberia were Cygnus Hyoga was. They tried to defeat him but was easily overpowerd by Hyoga's chilly ice. Yet as they lay there dying among the ice, they entrusted Athena to his care.

Although Misty's resurrection was clearly depicted in the anime adaptation, Kurumada only hinted it in his manga, with the opened tombs of deceased Silver Saints.

Cloth

*Misty's Silver Cloth represents the Lacerta, the lizard. It is depicted as a standing lizard. The anime version differs slightly from the original to minor details and full leg armors.

Notes

*Although the first Silver Saints that Kurumada introduced in his manga were Eagle Marin and Ophiuchus Shaina, in vol.1, he didn't reveal their rank then. He revealed it after he introduced Lizard Misty in vol. 5.

*Masami Kurumada created Misty in the stereotypical manga/anime androgynous beautiful character model. This is due to the fact that japanese consider ideal beauty as androgynous, and that is the reason why beautiful androgynous characters like Misty are very common in manga and anime. This is the same case for Aphrodite, the Piscis Gold Saint.

*Alongside Pisces Aphrodite and Siren Sorrento, Misty is one of the most androgynous characters that appears in Saint Seiya.

*For unknown reasons his powers were heavily reduced in anime adaptation.

*When Seiya fought the Marina Shogun, Sea Horse Baian, he commented that Baian's defensive technique, which involved using rapid vibrations from hand movement to create a barrier, to be very similar to Lacerta Misty's technique. Like with Misty, Seiya also destroyed Baian's barrier with the Pegasus Sui Sei Ken.
