They are the warriors of hope that will appear when evil comes to the world.
Cloaked in the holy garment of the constellations, fighting only with his own flesh against the evil that threatens the earthly world,
It is said that their fists can cut through the sky and their feet can break the earth.
Then, since the long "holy war", time has passed and reached modern times.
Saori Johto, a young girl troubled by the incredible power she possesses, is told that the power is the power known as the "Little Universe" and that It is Athena who leads the Saint Seiya to guard the love and peace on earth.

Can Hoshiya protect Saori to the end?
The young Saint Seiya's deathmatch begins here!
Originally serialized in the weekly Shonen JUMP from 1985 to 1990, Saint Seiya animation generated a Saint Seiya craze across Asia. The Zodiac is the most popular chapter in the Saint Seiya series. The theatrical version of the anime "Saint Seiya Legend of Sanctuary" is a commemorative work to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the original author of the manga, Masami Tsuda, who is the chief producer of the manga, and the title of the anime is also named by Cheda. The animation is directed by Keiichi Sato, who has produced Tiger and Rabbit, and he will also use the latest video technology to depict the most popular Zodiac chapter in Saint Seiya.
The 3D shape of the characters is quite different from the original. The appearance of the protagonist Bronze Saint Seiya has not changed much, while the shape of the Golden Saint Seiya has changed greatly (changes in hair color and pupil color, beard and glasses, etc., Scorpio Miró becomes a woman).
The setting of the Bronze Sacred Cloak abandons the setting of the anime and is basically designed according to the manga setting of the Zodiac Chapter (but the instantaneous shoulder armor design is the same as the animation setting of the Zodiac Chapter), and based on this, the details are added. In addition, the helmet of the bronze sacred cloak seems to be able to deform with the changes in the small universe (from exposing the face to covering the face); the golden sacred cloak has been changed more largely, and some of the golden sacred clothes have added other colors to the gold in order to match the character's personality or constellation characteristics.
The voice actor lineup of the protagonist Bronze Saint Seiya did not follow the team in the old TV version, Pluto chapter, and Ω, but used a series of new generation voice actors led by Ishikawa Jieren; the voice actor lineup of Golden Saint Seiya was composed of powerful voice actors such as Koichi Yamaji and Hirata Hiroaki.
Saori's name for Hoshiya changed from "Hoshiya" in the original to "Hoshiya Jun".
