Seiya is a young orphan sent to Greece, to the Sanctuary, to recover the bronze armor of Pegasus, and brought her back to Japan to the Kidô Foundation. Thanks to Marine, his coach, he succeeds, but back in Japan, he learns that Mr. Kidô died and that his granddaughter, Saori, succeeded him. He also learns that his sister, whom he had to see again on his way home, disappeared. He then chooses to participate in the knights' tournament in order to find her.

The intergalactic tournament continues but Ikki, Bronze Knight of the Phoenix[/i] and Hyoga, Bronze Knight of the Swan have still not arrived.

We will see at work one of the Swan techniques: "Diaman Dust"...

Ikki, Phoenix Bronze Knight finally arrives at the Colosseum, Japan. But he has changed. Indeed, he challenged the Bronze Knights present at the scene.

In the places where the Black Knights await them, our heroes begin their journey. Before fighting, Seiya recovers his armor repaired by Shiryu with the help of Mû. But the Dragon Knight is absent.

Volume 6
The Silver Knights, too sure of them, are defeated one after the other by our four heroes... but nothing is yet played, because the Sanctuary has also sent the elite of Silver Knights to the place in order to carry out the mission entrusted by the Great Pope: to remove Saori and exterminate any resistance from the Bronze Knights deemed renegade. For Seiya and his friends, the game is increasingly tight, while the formidable Dante and Capella appear before them... but the arrival of an unexpected ally will upset the deal!
Volume 7
Seiya and the others managed to free Saori from the claws of the Silver Knights sent by the Sanctuary to take him away, but at what cost... pushed within the limits of his forces by his opponent, Shiryû has lost his eyes in order to overcome the effects of his power! But as the tension begins to fall, the situation worsens as never before: a Gold Knight, one of these twelve legendary fighters, eternal guardians of the Sanctuary and the goddess Athena, presents himself to our hero in order to inflict the mortal punishment for having opposed the Great Pope! In the face of the disproportionate power of the Lion Knight, Pegasus will manage to stand by to defend Saori at all costs? Unless a mysterious force comes to his rescue...
Volume 8
The battle against Aiolia, the Lion's Knight, ended in the discovery of the truth by the latter. Back at the Sanctuary, Aiolia is determined to hold the Great Pope to account and to make him confess his dark gestures... but it is then that another Golden Knight appears to protect the Great Pope! Meanwhile, back in China to continue his training with the Old Master, Shiryû finds himself powerless in front of the sudden arrival of Mask-de-Mort, the Golden Knight of Cancer, who came to execute the Old Master for rebellion against the Sanctuary. The true identity of the Old Master is revealed, and the stakes of this internal war take on new proportions when Saori decides to finish for good by going to the Sanctuary with his Knights of Bronze in order to restore order and put an end to the dark reign of the Great Pope.

Already two hours have passed, and the third Zodiacal house will be far from being a part of pleasure, for the fearsome and mysterious size of their reserves! A new size of the Geres.

Especially since the Lion's Golden Knight, Aiolia, no longer seems himself from his face-to-face with the Great Pope... what happened to him?
