Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac | comment |
Netflix's reboot of Saint Seiya, created in collaboration with Toei Animation, directed by Yoshiharu Ashino (who previously directed Tweeny Witches, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, 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.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. | |

Canon Foreigner: Between the Leo and Virgo Temples, Seiya and co. fight the Skull Saints, who are newly created for the series as their adversaries. In the original manga/anime, the group reach the Virgo house with no problem. A girl named Clea is introduced as a mask-maker and recordkeeper for the Sanctuary. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy: Seiya points he expected Shaun was meaner and tougher than the others, since she's the only girl around. Shaun subverts that, showing she's actually kind and polite, if laidback. She's not behind the boys in terms of power, though - she just prefers to fight defensively. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The series adapts the "Sanctuary" arc from the original manga/anime. Just like the 1986 anime, it greatly expands the original manga storyline. However, unlike the original anime, the series is not an 1:1 adaptation, and includes moments exclusive to this version of the arc. Some examples: Chameleon June actually goes to the Sanctuary, something she never did, neither in the manga, nor in the 1986 anime. Deathmask has an extra scene in the Yomotsu Hirasaka after he is tossed in by Shiryu. In his second scene, he is trying to convince Saori to jump into the hole to the Underworld and die. Aldebaran and Mu are given new scenes in this version of the arc: the duo enter Star Hill, fight illusions as part of a Secret Test of Character, but are apparently killed by the false Pope. Pope Shion cradles a baby Athena in his arms and gathers the Gold Saints to show them the prophecy in the water of the Crater Cloth. Aioros hid the Crater Cloth in the Sagittarius Temple. Scorpio Milo gets an extra scene where he defeats Leo Aioria with his Scarlet Needle attack. | |

Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac / int_455f6a91 | comment |
Long-Lost Relative: Just like in the original series, Seiya was separated from his sister at a young age and he hopes he can find her by fighting for Athena. This time she was explicitly rescued by a Gold Saint because Sanctuary was abducting children who displayed signs of Cosmo. Since Seiya hadn't awakened his powers yet, he was left behind. In the second season it's implied that Seiya's mentor Marin may be his sister, but if she is, she doesn't remember it herself. Andromeda Shaun believed that her brother Nero died while training. Turns out he survived and acquired the Phoenix armor. Bad news is, he's now full using The Power of Hate, working with Guraad and more than willing to kill his "weakling" sister. | |

Adaptation Distillation: Almost all the characters keep their main traits and motivations in comparison to the original, if with some changes. For example, Shaina, whose part of her character was all about her mask hiding her true side, lost this peculiarity since the rule about female saints hiding their faces with masks apparently doesn't exist in this version or it's optional, like in Marin's case. | |

Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac / int_6ec4232f | comment |
Casting Gag: Hilariously enough, the original English release brings back quite a few voice actors from the ADV dub of the TV series, albeit in different roles. Blake Shepard who voiced Peacock Shiva (an anime-only character who was one of Shaka's disciples) now takes a main role as Dragon Long. John Swasey, who voiced Hydra Ichi, now voices Libra Dohko. Cameron Bautsch, who voiced Pegasus Seiya as a child, provides the voice for Wolf Nachi. John Gremillion who originally voiced another anime-only character, Gigas, now plays Aries Mu. Kira Vincent-Davis (the original voice of Shaina) voices Kiki. Jay Hickman (the original voice of Shiryu) provides the voice of a security manhole robot and most hilariously, Cancer Deathmask. | |

Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac / int_723be11b | comment |
Villain Has a Point: Given what we've seen in plenty Saint Seiya productions, Vander is right about humanity constantly being at the whims of Jerkass Gods and that they could be better off without them. The issue here is that he's willing to murder a girl who he once saw as a daughter to save the world. Who is also, coincidentally, logically the one most likely to save the world, due to being the incarnation of the goddess who has done so habitually. And is the only non-Jerkass God in the setting. | |

You Can't Fight Fate: The schism in Sanctuary is caused by two different attempts to avert this - those who believe that Athena's destiny to doom humanity can be averted by killing her before she gets the chance, and those who believe that it can be averted by supporting her so that she does not fail in her efforts to protect it. | |

Adaptational Badass: In comparison with either the original manga arc or its anime adaptation, Chameleon June actually puts up a fight and uses her signature whip attack against an illusion of her master Daedalus. Jabu and the secondary Bronze Saints manage to get actual victories this time around: like the original anime, they appear at the entry to the Sanctuary to protect a downed Saori. However, in this series, Nachi fights Lepus Asterion, Geki battles Cetus Moses and Jabu Cerberus Dante. | |

Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac / int_8204a6ad | comment |
The Magic Versus Technology War: Vander Guraad's army is mostly composed of lots of people with assault rifles, gunships (Apaches, for the most part) and the Black Saints vs. the Bronze Saints, with their Cosmo and armors. The Bronze Saints do some pretty impressive amount of damage single-handedly. And they are the weakest tier of Saint Power Levels, and are actively trying to avoid killing any of Guraad's soldiers, a sentiment said soldiers do not reciprocate. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The prophecy about Athena is shown to the heroes: first, a baby Athena appears between two statues (Hades on the right, Poseidon on the left); next, they see a planetary alignment (hinting at Hades's Greatest Eclipse plan from his saga). During her secret test of character at Star Hill tunnels, Marin sees Seika/Patricia in a vision, which may hint she is indeed Seiya's elder sister in this version of the story. | |

Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac / int_9f240209 | comment |
Gag Dub: In the Latin American dub, when Ikki calls Guilty "sensei", the latter kicks him and says "Eso es basura de puto!" ("That's pussy bullshit!"). Really. | |

Ascended Extra | |
Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac / int_a65288e2 | comment |
Ascended Extra: Chameleon June joins the heroes in the Sanctuary. This is opposed to the original work, since: In the manga, June intercepted Shun before he embarked to Greece, and fainted on his arms. In the anime, she and Shun are ambushed by Reda and Spica (their former training mates back in Andromeda Island), June is incapacitated and delivered to a hospital. Marin visits her in the hospital, and that's it. | |

Truer to the Text | |
Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac / int_b552b24 | comment |
Truer to the Text: Subverted. While this series changes a lot from the source material, certain story beats from the manga that were changed or not adapted in the original anime have been restored: Hyoga/Magnus is sent by the Sanctuary to kill the Bronze Saints, which was Adapted Out in the original anime (this is expanded with him having also been sent to murder Athena herself), and has his snarky and arrogant personality back. Seiya's fight with Ikki/Nero is more like in the manga: it takes place in a cave, Seiya fights without his Cloth, and repels Ikki/Nero's strongest attack with one hand before defeating him (the original anime changed it to taking place outdoors, Seiya being fully suited up, and him blocking Phoenix's attack with Shiryu's shield instead). Phoenix's Phantom Fist vision is a flashback to his training (instead of being moved to a later episode) and has his encounter with Shaka restored (this had not been shown in the original anime because the Shaka encounter story was only published afterwards and inserted into the Black Saints arc in collected editions). Misty is the one who attempts to kill the Bronze Saints after Ikki/Nero is defeated, instead of Canon Foreigner Filler Villain Docrates. Mu observes the Bronze Saints from afar during their fights against Ikki/Nero and the first wave of Silver Saints, helping them by creating an illusion of their dead bodies (over the bodies of the Black Saints) to fake their deaths. This had been Adapted Out in the original anime. The fights against the Silver Saints play out more like in the manga, although some of them are Adapted Out. Since the Crystal Saint was not adapted, Aquarius Camus is Hyoga's teacher as he was originally. | |

Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac / int_d500b978 | comment |
Adaptational Wimp: In the original manga/anime, Bear Geki actually causes some trouble to Seiya during their fight. Here, Seiya only needs a couple of seconds to defeat him. Perseus Algol is one of the strongest Silver Saints in the manga. In this version, despite Nero hyping Algol, Long managed to defeat him fairy easily after destroying the Medusa Shield. | |

Dub Name Change | |
Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: By the director's admission, he found baffling that despite coming from multiple backgrounds the characters have Japanese names. Seiya is in the minority for having his original name and being Japanese. Other dubs, like in France, Latin America or Japan avert this where everyone kept their original names. Ikki is named Nero. Not only is Shun a girl but she's named Shaun. Saori is Sienna, like in the Viz manga and the Knights of the Zodiac adaptation. Hyoga is named Magnus. Shiryu is named Long. Seika is named Patricia. Mitsumasa is named Alman. Tatsumi is named Mylock. | |
