Saint Seiya, known in Spanish as The Knights of the Zodiac, is a shōnen genre manga created in 1985 by Masami Kurumada and originally published since January of the following year in the Shūkan Shōnen Jump magazine of Shūeisha until December 1990. It was later adapted in an anime series of 145 episodes. There have also been five animated films and a film with CG animation, as well as several prequels and official sequels of the original story.
108 chapters of the manga were published along with a special edition, making a total of 109 in tankoubon format, divided into 28 volumes with three main sagas (arcs argumentales): Sanctuary, Poseidon and Hades. It has been reprinted and reissued in Wideban, Bunkoban and Kanzenban format and also the so-called "Remix", the production in three editions (2002, 2007 and 2012).
After the adaptation to the anime two more series have been produced: the manga titled Saint Seiya Lost Canvas by the studio TMS Entertainment and Saint Seiya Omega by Toei Animation. Unlike Saint Seiya Lost Canvas, Saint Seiya Omega was animated and it was not until after an adaptation to the manga, although curiously both series are spin-off. A third anime produced by Toei Animation, Saint Seiya Soul of Gold whose broadcast began on April 11, 2015, the series narrates the events following the destruction of the Wailing Wall, where Aioria de Leo is the protagonist and wakes up in the middle of Asgard with the other golden knights. Currently Saint Seiya is still valid with the Saint Seiya Next Dimension manga, official continuation of the series whose animated version has been confirmed for the future, and with Saint Seiya Saintia Sho. Manga currently published in Akita Shoten drawn by Chimaki Kuori.

These warriors fight on the side of the Greek goddess Athena reincarnated in the human Saori Kido to protect humanity from evil forces that want to dominate the Earth. For their battles, each knight uses his inner energy linked to the universe (the "cosmos"), his special fighting techniques, and his armor (originally called cloth), all inspired by each of the 88 constellations.
