Netflix's reboot of Saint Seiya, created in collaboration with Toei Animation, directed by Yoshiharu Ashino (who previously directed Tweeny Witches and Cross Ange) and produced by Avengers Assemble's Eugene Son. This show was the series' second foray into all CGI animation after Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary. The six episodes were released in July/August 2019 as Part 1, with the second six released on January 23, 2020, as Part 2. The series is a loose retelling of the events of the manga, featuring an original villain.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Every few centuries, the Gods are reincarnated onto Earth and fight over who shall have control over the planet. Amongst them is Athena, a goddess who works to defend mankind. Alongside her are her Knights, legendary warriors who can wield the power of the cosmos in order to aid Athena in her quest.The Knights are led by the organization Sanctuary, who are ordinarily allied with Athena, but this incarnation of Athena was born with a prophecy that she would fail and bring about humanity's destruction. There is also Vander Guraad, a man who wants to liberate humankind from the will of the gods by using technology to destroy them and any Knights who stand against him.In June 2022, a sequel titled Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac – Battle for Sanctuary was announced by Crunchyroll.

Adapted Out: The original Black Saints (which looked like evil doppelganger versions of the main characters) are replaced by completely different characters, with Cassius replacing the role of Black Pegasus. Some of the Silver Saints (Centaurus Babel, Auriga Capella, Heracles Algethi, Musca Dio and Canis Major Sirius) are absent as well. Miho, Seiya's childhood friend in both manga and the first anime, doesn't exist here. She was barely relevant to the manga, anyway, even if the old anime basically treated her as Seiya's love interest, before the 12 Temples arc put almost all the supporting cast into the bus.

Adaptational Badass: In tha manga, the Black Saints are fairy weak and were easily defeated by Seiya and co. during the first story arc and later killed by the Silver Saints. In this version, their Powered Armor makes them more dangerous and durable than some of the Silver Saints and they can absorb cosmo attacks.
