Saint Seiya Episode 18 -

But Shun doesn’t destroy Dante. Instead, he uses his Nebula Chain to restrain him and then—most importantly— heals the amnesiac villagers .

Realizing he cannot overpower the tide, he uses his freezing power on himself . He creates a layer of ice around his own body, anchoring himself to the shore. When Moses tries to pull him into the sea, Hyoga doesn’t move. Instead, he waits for Moses to exhaust himself and then delivers a point-blank Aurora Execution —freezing not just Moses, but the entire crashing wave behind him into a massive ice sculpture.
