As of latest chapter, I skipped a few things. I was going to show more of Souma, Ryuho and another new Gold Saint, but it would be time wasters. I'm busy on my end. Somehow, I managed to do three chapters; I did both the last Pavlin chapter and the Yomatsu chapter around the same time. It ended up fun and I just let loose, wanting to show me.

If I end up getting slow again, here are some notes to share:

CAPROCORN SAFAR
The word Safar means "journey" in Hindi.

The new Capricorn saint is from the Middle East this time, particularly Persia (AKA: Iran). In my names, it says that he's "named after Abdul Rashid Ali Sufi", an advocate for the Quran. Safar, meaning "empty" is the 2nd month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Before the pick, he had various names set up for him: Zoro (named after the hero), Rapier, En Garde (fencing term), Darius (persian king), and Khushal (persian name; a legendary tribal warrior). There is also the Saffarid dynasty and the Iran village of Safar, Iran.

His Image C.V is Hatano Wataru, the VA of Gajeel in FAIRY TAIL, Georgi Popovich from YURI ON ICE, Chikuma Koshiro from BASILISK Kouga ninja scrolls and Josuke from Jojo Bizarre Adventure video games.

I can't remember why the name was truly picked and nothing seems to add up. It's a very well-trained man, determined, and strives for more to support god (in this case, Athena). It makes him somewhat of a hermit. He's also very wise, well-mannered, and understands the following of people worshiping different faiths. Perhaps there is a touch of divinity like Ikki and the Virgo Saints, so he is given telepathy.

To emit this sincerity, Safur wields the mighty demon-slaying green sword from Islamic legend (AKA: The Thunderbolt sword). It is mentioned in the tale called Amir Arsalan; the novel series Heroic Legend of Arslan (Arslan Senki) is loosely based on this. Against evil, he attacks without discrimination.

The Four Terrae's Gardens
These gardens are the official "temples" that protect Demeter's island and her main temple on Naxos. Garden of Plutus (Wealth), Garden of Catasterismi (origins of stars), Garden of Androktasiai (Slaughter/War), and Garden of Horae (Seasons/time).

I thought I was going to rename them but I guess I can't figure out replacements. The Four Terrae of Loom, Boron, Swithen, and Life Cycle rule them respectively.

Since Demeter is an earth goddess, I expect them to be beautiful inside when someone walks into them. The scene instantly changes. Since there's only four, they have to protect the goddess temple, so I imagined the temple to be elevated upon cliffs much like Athena's temple. There is a wide view of the hills and ocean.

There is also an entrance to Hell. To reach Demeter's temple is to climb the stairs and enter each garden. The gardens and the temple are surrounded by a planter-bed for flowers and other plants.

I went back and forth with the naming of the gardens. Catasterismi, while a long name, is ideal for Boron, who uses star-like attacks. Plutus is for a character based on weaving, so why would it be related to "wealth"? Plutus has a connection to Demeter and wealth could be connected not only to money, but something that is required in mass, such as material and food. I think Plutus was connected to Agriculture too.

Androktasiai is a term related to wicked goddess related to the negativity of battle; hatred, anger, suffering, crying, murder. It suits Swithen very well but I can't talk too much about it.

Horae is a bit of a wonder but has to do with Seasons and balance.
