In the latest weekly for Saint Seiya: Lost Canvas, Gemini makes an unsurprising return after being banished to another dimension (nobody has ever failed to return after being banished to another dimension) by Mephisto, so Mephisto uses his Time Freeze - The World again to try to get rid of him in his attempt to kill Aries to prevent the event 250 years in the future from happening (he clearly has read the original Saint Seiya, but must have missed the fact that banishing people to different dimensions never works). Gemini stops the attack as Aries and the rest of the good guys make their escape. Now this is Saint Seiya, where everything can be explained by "Can't use the same attack on a Saint twice!", but Gemini actually gives a thorough, scientifically accurate explanation as to how he countered Mephisto's ability to stop time, roughly paraphrased:
"One does not become the Pope (or more like attempt to assassinate) with mere brawn. During my years of scheming I have learned things such as Cosmic Inflation and General Relativity. The speed of light is constant to all frames of reference, but the flow of time is not. From this, one can deduce that the flow of time is constant to a frame of reference traveling at the speed of light, so I have hurled us through space-time at the speed of light, which means your power to control time no longer works here."
Now keep in mind this manga takes place in the 1800 AD on the planet earth, but obviously the Gemini Saint has relativity figured out long before Einstein did. Of course, given he was also the man who can destroy a galaxy, and that his opponent was hired by Hades from Diablo 2 to help him, doing stuff like that is probably pretty elementary for him. Even in DBZ it took a while before people are strong enough to destroy entire galaxies, but in the Saint Seiya canon whoever is the Gemini Saint is always born with the power to destroy a galaxy (he invariably turns evil to prevent the story become too boring). It's pretty tough to beat guys who can recreate the Big Bang (the real thing, not a move name)!
