In the poster, although the four main characters, Seiya, Shiryu, Hyoga, and Shun, have not shown their faces, the murderous aura they exude when confronting the Pope is overwhelming, making people nervous. In addition, the poster also revealed the release date, which will be released in mainland China on February 26. By then, mainland audiences can finally see classic characters such as Seiya and Shiryu, who grew up with them, on the big screen.

The CG animated film "Saint Seiya" tells the story of the "Zodiac" that is most familiar to the audience in the original work. The bronze saints, led by the protagonist Seiya, broke into the sanctuary guarded by the twelve gold saints in order to protect the goddess Athena. Compared with the original work, which introduced the death battle between the bronze saints and the gold saints in great detail, this work is more inclined to show the audience the bond between the five bronze saints and Athena. With realistic CG technology, the heroic figures of the characters can be truly displayed on the big screen, and popular special moves such as "Pegasus Meteor Fist" and "Lushan Shenglongba" will also appear in this work one after another.

This new animated film "Saint Seiya" is adapted from the popular manga of the same name by the famous Japanese manga artist Masami Kurumada. In the film, the Gold Saint Aiolos escapes from the Sanctuary with the real goddess Athena in his arms. On the way, he is blocked by Gemini Saga and Capricorn Shura and is seriously injured. When his life is in danger, Aiolos entrusts the goddess to Mitsumasa Kido, the president of the Japanese Kido Group, who happened to be on an expedition to the Himalayas. Mitsumasa brings the goddess back to Japan to raise her. Inspired by the goddess, Seiya, Shiryu, Hyoga and other young men who have undergone arduous training also return to Japan one after another. But at the same time, assassins ordered by the Pope also come to Japan from the Sanctuary one after another, and a battle between good and evil begins.

It is understood that the manga "Saint Seiya" was serialized by Masami Kurumada in the comic weekly Shonen Jump in 1985, and the animated TV series was launched in 1986. It was introduced to mainland China TV in 1992 and became a mark of the same year for a generation. The "Zodiac" is the most popular one in the "Saint Seiya" series. After 30 years, this super popular comic IP that is talked about by fans has finally appeared on the mainland screen. The original author Masami Kurumada personally served as the chief director of production. I believe that this CG animated film "Saint Seiya" to be released on February 26 is undoubtedly the best New Year gift for the majority of comic fans.
