What is Saint Seiya About?
The story of Saint Seiya follows a group of five brave warriors. They are called "Saints" or "Knights." These heroes wear special, sacred armors known as "Cloths." Each Cloth has a unique design. These designs are inspired by different constellations in the night sky. Each Saint's Cloth matches the constellation that is their guardian symbol.
The Saints' Mission
The main job of these Saints is to protect the Earth. They have sworn to defend the goddess Athena. In the story, Athena is a Greek goddess who has been reborn on Earth. She needs the Saints' help because other powerful Olympian gods want to take over the world. The Saints must fight against these gods and their armies to keep Earth safe.
The Power of the Cloths
The Cloths are not just ordinary armor. They give the Saints special powers and protection. Each Cloth is linked to a specific constellation, like Pegasus or Dragon. This link gives the Saint who wears it unique abilities and strengths. The Saints train very hard to master their powers and use their Cloths effectively in battle.
