Greetings dear friends, today I want to talk about one of the most watched anime in history and that many love, I particularly remember it because of my brothers, they were the fans of this saga that never missed the Zodiac Knights. I was very little when I saw it and the saga that I remember the most is undoubtedly the Saga of the Sanctuary, I want to talk more than a summary, I want to give you my impressions and my impact of what I remember the most.
Of course none of us forget that Seiya's phrase to fight “Give me your strength pegas us” many of us grew up listening to it. The fact is that once there was a man named Mitsumasa Kido had a premonition about the reincarnation of Princess Athena and decided to recruit some children and send them to train away in order to prepare them to fight. As adults, they would wear the golden armor and protect Athens. These boys were Seiya of Pegasus, Shiryu of Dragon, Hyoga of Swan, Shun of Andromeda, Ikki of Phoenix, who would later become golden knights.
The case is that they have a first fight among themselves, Ikki appears with his heartbreaking story which had a very traumatic life where he trained with a ruthless man who killed his girlfriend Esmeralda and that is the reason for his temper. The fact is that they began to fight in the 12 houses, which by the way that saga was super long, and they realized that the knights who lived there were strong, however, this did not stop their goal because they were faithful to Saori, they also realized by their cosmos that she was the reincarnation of Athens herself, they had to free her from that arrow that could only heal the Patriarch who was at the top.
I really like the faithfulness of these guys who were very young, each one of them had an incredible spirit and always gave us a scare when we thought they were almost dead, suddenly they wake up because of some thought or memory. The friendship between them is one of the nicest things, I really think this characterizes anime a lot, that power of friendship, above all, the fight and loyalty and I really like that.
Saint Seiya - Opening 1
The saga of the sanctuary for me is one of the best, many of the golden knights realize that the cause for which the bronze knights fight is totally reasonable and decide to help to free Saori from certain death. I love the reflection that each of the characters have, each one suffered their preparation process and reflect us that there is always a resilience in every human being, and how to forget the soundtrack of this series, just remember when Hyoga of Swan went to see his mother at the bottom of the water that beautiful song that makes us get nostalgic. Undoubtedly for many of us to see this “Knights of the Zodiac” marked a before and after, and I think that until now it does not go out of fashion and we are crazy about those opening and ending. And you, how much did you like it? Greetings.
