Unity is power, no doubt. We choose to protect those close to us. Just like that in Saint Seiya, there are warriors who would do anything to protect the reincarnated Princess Athena whose goal is to protect Earth from any kind of evil. The warriors also have some sort of patterned clothes with constellations on them, that sounds magical! Isn’t that right?

PLOT
Saint Seiya revolves around some warriors who work together with the possession of a mysterious cloth. It has magical patterns. In fact, there’s a princess who is reincarnated aka Princess Athena.
Seiya is an orphan who was forced to go to Greece to get the Bronze Cloth of the Pegasus Constellation. It is an armor that originally belonged to Athena’s 88 warriors. Her warriors were called Saints. When he found out his power aka “Cosmo” was derived from the Big Bang, Seiya becomes the Saint and returns to Japan quickly in order to find his sister.
His sister went missing on the same day he walked to the Sanctuary. On the other hand, Saori Kido makes a deal with him to go to a tournament called “Galaxian Wars” to fight. All the winners (orphans) of the tournaments will be able to win one of the most powerful clothes. The most powerful cloth is called “The Sagittarius Gold Cloth”.
Seiya wants to go to the tournament and look for his sister. Phoenix Bronze Saint shows up at the tournament and interrupts it. Of course, Phoenix Bronze is a villain who tries to steal the powerful cloth in order to become the strongest. In the end, he fights with Seiya, Shun, and Shiryu along with other participants of the tournament.
Just when things start to get chaotic, Silver Saints show up and fight against the Phoenix Bronze Saints. Similarly, many other mysteries unfold including Saori being Athena’s reincarnation. There’s a Sanctuary Pope who once tried killing Athena when she was just a baby. That sounds pretty cruel, right? What possibly could the Pope have against Athena?
After things become less chaotic, Seiya pays a visit to Pope’s temple and discovers that he’s the Gold Saint Gemini. A real plot twist occurs when we find that this Pope turned out to be a fake Pope and he lured everyone by killing the real onePope and that’s how he took his place. The fake Pope just wanted more power.
Now that Seiya became infuriated after finding this all out, he, along with his allies,fellows knock him out. Seiya uses Athena’s powers and holds a shield to protect himself and also heals Saori. After some time, Saga comes back to his senses and ends up killing himself as a punishment.
And just like that, the story keeps on getting intense. I won’t spoil it for you guys any further. So, if you’re wanting to watch this anime after reading the plot, do it! Make sure to read the watch order given above as well!
