Saint Seiya All Episodes
Seiya is an orphan child that was sent to the Sanctuary of Athena in Greece, where he underwent training to become one of the Saints of Athena. Years later, after gaining possession of the Pegasus Cloth, a mythical armor protected by said constellation, he returns to Japan and meets up with Saori Kido. Kido is the granddaughter of the late Mitsumasa Kido, the man that sent Seiya to Greece, separating him from his sister Seika. Seiya intends to find his sister who disappeared the day he left, but Saori makes a deal with him: if he competes in the Galaxian Wars and wins, she'll help him find Seika. The Galaxian Wars is a tournament organized by the Kido Fundation, in which the Bronze Saints, all of them orphans like Seiya that were sent to different parts of the world to train and earn their cloths, must fight each other, the prize being the Sagittarius Gold Cloth. Seiya agrees to participate just to be able to find his sister. However, the tournament is interrupted and the Sagittarius.
Trivia Ikki, the Phoenix Saint, is an exceptional Saint in many regards. Notwithstanding the fact that his Armor grants him virtual immortality and the fact that he's the first man ever to win the Phoenix Cloth, Ikki's a powerhouse among the other Bronze Saints. As the anime's first villain, he easily takes on the other 4 Bronze Saints at the same time; later his powers and abilities enable him to defeat Silver Saints with ease. He also is a psychologically complex character, scarred by a traumatic training but yet a loving and protective brother to Shun.
His maturity and long term strategic choices put him at odds with the other, often hot-headed Bronze Saints. Even though he doesn't team up with the quartet, he still manages to show up at the right time and at the right place to save the day. If you've just happen to stumble across this series by accident, or are in fact a true Saint Seiya fanatic, please feel free to read this commentary on such a great animated series. First of all, it is a great break from the typical anime where you have robots and tons of martial arts; the idea behind Saint Seiya is truly original and that is why it still impacts on the world today: Imagine our modern world protected by mythological Gods of hallowed antiquity. We have Palas Athenea, or Athena, protecting our world from evil. She is reborn when the presence of evil is strong. (Around 200 to 300 years usually).
Then imagine her sitting on her throne in her Sanctuary, protected by 12 golden saints, each one representing a Zodiac sign, each with a unique power, armor and cosmos. (Cosmos is from where these Saints obtain their power, taking it from thier constelation). But there are more than 12 saints. The Saint order has three different ranks: Golden, Silver and Bronze. Each Saint holds the power to a different constelation, and this is where our main characters come in: the Bronze Saints are also twelve, and are the destined ones to replace the Golden Saints in the future, but till then, they hold their own armor representing minor constelations. And from these twelve, five stand out as the strongest and bravest: Seiya of Pegasus, Shiryu of the Dragon, Shun of Andromeda, Hyoga of Cygnus, and my personal favorite Ikki of Phoenix (not the city), who happens to be Shun's older brother and probably the most troubled of the five.
To sum things up, each character has their own unique personality, their own unique and cool repetoir of attacks, problems and existential angst. But they are the sworn protectors of the Goddess Athena, and all that is good on Earth. (No matter how corny that sounds) The series back in 1986 saw these five Saints battle it out in the Sanctuary against the false High Pope (keeper of the Sanctuary until Athena is reincarnated) and the Golden Saints who did not realize the High Pope was evil; against Madam Hylda and her Seven Warriors of Asgard in the frozen regions of Scandinavia; and against Poseidon's reincarnation and his Generals: the Marine Scales. The series finished with them defeating Poseidon, but the Manga (comic) actually had a continuation, where they battled Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, and his 108 specters (of which only about 20 are important).
For any of you interested, TOEI animation has decided (after 17 years!!) to continue the series where it left off. And it will be aired in english and spanish later this year!!! So to sum up, imagine a series where the characters each represent a myth, and hold in their soul the power of a Constelation.
Battling Gods, monsters, and even their own troubled minds. So if you do get to watch this series, be delighted because it is a rare gem in the TV World. (Check out Cartoon Network, I think they're playing it now on a regular basis). So the only thing I can say (and all you fans know what this means) is: Pegasus RyuSeiKen!!
This is a subreddit for the fans of the Saint Seiya series! Saint Seiya (聖闘士星矢（セイントセイヤ） Seinto Seiya), also known as Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac or simply Knights of the Zodiac, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masami Kurumada and serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1986 to 1991.
Even after an animation of the entire manga, five movies, and three non-canon side mangas the series is still loved and continues to this day. Saint Seiya: Next Dimension is the canonical sequel to the original manga and is currently ongoing. The story is said to lead into an Olympus Arc and following a Titanomachy arc against the Titan Kronos. Please note: The SS series has had a far better reception in Japan and Latin America than in the US. As such, do expect most of the links to direct you to a Spanish site. Discord Threads for all Saint Seiya series. Where can I find the anime?
The majority of Saint Seiya anime may be found on. We also recommend using websites like as not all anime streaming services have the entirety of the Classic series. What if I wanted to read the manga? Unfortunately for our English-only redditters, there are certain chapters in the series that cannot be found online to read.
We will provide you with whatever websites we find that have the most chapters for each canon & non-canon series. Provided below are links to both an English and Spanish version of the Mangahere website. Up-to-date on all series except Saintia Sho up-to-date on the Lost Canvas series but contains early Saintia Sho chapters and most Next Dimension chapters. The link is down already:/ If the theme song is Bowling For Soup, then it's Cartoon Networks 'Knights of the zodiac.'
Where To Watch Saint Seiya
I've heard they cut and edit a lot. If the theme is Japanese, then it's ADV's dub which is what I first watched. They only did so many episodes, but you can find the rest of the series online with subtitles. Seiya and the saints first seen are all bronze level saints.

The other six show up here and there, but it mainly focus on the main five as they tackle the silver and gold saints, and eventually start taking on more powerful legends.
