Saint Seiya Returns in New Omega TV Anime Series (Updated)

Saint Seiya Omega, on April 1. Saint Seiya Omega will have an original adventure action story with a new generation of characters, led by the protagonist Kōga. Like the heroes in the previous stories, the new characters will don the Holy Cloth armor.

Kōga is a 13-year-old boy who assumed the role of the Saint of the Pegasus constellation. His undefeatable spirit and rebellious nature are strong, as is his single-minded determination. Saori Kido (the goddess Athena) also appears as the protector of peace and all living things — and the woman who raised Kōga like a parent. Mars kidnaps Athena to establish a new world order, and Kōga stands up against Mars.

Other characters who appear include:

• Yuna, the heroine and Bronze Saint of the eagle constellation Aquila
• Sōma, Kōga's close friend and Bronze Saint of the lion constellation Lionet
• Ryūhō, Kōga's younger brother and Bronze Saint of the dragon constellation Draco
• Eden, the enigmatic Bronze Saint of the constellation Orion
• Haruto, Bronze Saint of the wolf constellation

In the first episode, Athena sees the sleeping baby Kōga at the Sanctuary where the 12 Constellations can be seen. However, a looming darkness rises, and it topples a pillar right over Kōga. Fortunately, the Gold Saint Seiya appears and saves Kōga from certain death. Then, the malevolent enemy Mars appears, dressed in a cloak.
