Zeus possessed a daughter called Athena, the war goddess who commanded thunder and strategy for the people in the ancient skies of destiny eternal. A band of youths gathered around Athena, fighting to defend her in heroic clashes as her 'Saints'. Their status as a Saint was proven by the battle armor known as Sacred Cloth, granting divine protection.
After an endless span, another conflict is set to rise over the Cloth. This war would test their courage beyond all before. Seiya journeyed to Greece, trained as a Saint, and earned the Bronze Cloth, the lowest rank among Saints. Each Saint adopts a constellation as patron deity, inspiring them in battle. Seiya"s guardian star is Pegasus, chosen for his speed. Now Saints from across the globe assemble for the 'Galactic War'—the Saint championship, seeking the Gold Cloth, emblem of supremacy. The curtain for the Galactic War has been lifted; spectators watched eagerly. Amid the deadly duel among Saints, Phoenix, the Black Saint, suddenly emerged and seized the Gold Cloth before a roaring crowd, driven by his desire to rule the world. Seiya and his Bronze Cloth comrades pursue Phoenix and his 'Shadow Army', forming a united front to reclaim the Gold Cloth...
The battles waged by the Saints, mightiest youths on Earth, commence now!
