Cancer Manigoldo (蟹座（キャンサー）のマニゴルド, Kyansā no Manigorudo?) is the Gold Saint of Cancer and disciple of the previous Cancer Gold Saint, Sage. He was shown as being somewhat hostile and talking in an informal, almost humorous way. Manigoldo is bold, aggressive, arrogant and very confident, he believed that the dead of all eras are nothing but refuse. When meeting Sage, he decides to train in the Sanctuary to understand the idea that "every person who is alive or dead is part of the universe."
Manigoldo, whose name is alternatively spelled in kanji as 死刑執行人 in his Anecdotes, meaning "Executioner", was taught by Sage a large number of techniques related with souls. In direct relation to the oriental folklore pertaining the Cancer constellation, he has the ability to send souls to the entrance to the Underworld with his Praesepe Underworld Waves (積尸気冥界波, Sekishiki Meikai-ha?), with Praesepe Demonic Blue Flames (積尸気鬼蒼焔, Sekishiki Kisōen?) Manigoldo creates an orb in his hand, igniting every soul nearby, thus incinerating the souls of his opponents and with Praesepe Soul Burial Waves (積尸気魂葬波, Sekishiki Konsō-ha?) Manigoldo uses stray souls nearby as gunpowder to create a great explosion. Apart from the attacks involving souls, Manigoldo can use a physical attack called Acubens (アクベンス, Akubensu?) in which Manigoldo uses both his legs as pincers of a crab's claw to cut his opponent in half, hence the name. In the Anecdotes chapters, Acubens name is also alternatively spelled in kanji as Acubens (蟹爪, Akubensu?), meaning "Crab pincers"
During the series Manigoldo encounters Thanatos, a feat which proves too much and has him almost killed. With the aid of his master Sage, however, he proves to be a challenge for the god. In his last moments, Manigoldo launches a last-ditch attack against Thanatos' physical body, destroying it and in the aftermath being pulverized himself, giving Sage a chance to seal Thanatos away. After the death of Sage, the soul of Manigoldo appears in the Sanctuary and gives to Aries Shion the helmet of the Pope to give it to his teacher.
He last appears in spiritual form during the attack of golden light unleashed by the Gold Saints on Hades.

Famous quotes containing the word cancer:
“I’m beginning to believe that Killer Illiteracy ought to rank near heart disease and cancer as one of the leading causes of death among Americans. What you don’t know can indeed hurt you, and so those who can neither read nor write lead miserable lives, like Richard Wright’s character, Bigger Thomas, born dead with no past or future.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
