Every few centuries, the Gods are reincarnated onto earth and fight over who shall have control over the earth and mankind. Amongst them is Athena, a goddess who works to defend mankind. Alongside her are her Knights, legendary warriors who can wield the power of the cosmos in order to aid Athena in her quest.

The saints are lead by the organization Sanctuary, who are ordinarily allied with Athena and lead her saints, but this incarnation of Athena was born with a prophecy that she would fail and bring about mankind's destruction. Now they are lead by Vander Guraad, a man who wants to use technology to destroy all of the gods and any Knights who stand against him.

Now they are lead by Vander Guraad, a man who wants to use technology to destroy all of the gods and any Knights who stand against him.

!!This work contains examples of:

* AdaptationExpansion: Vander Guraad is a new villain created for the series, and this is also one of the very few times the Bronze Boys fight against an army using traditional weaponry.
* AGodAmI: This is how those who side against Sanctuary view Vander Guraad's plans.
* GenderBender: Shun is a girl in this adaptation. Everything else about their backstory is the same.
* IWantThemAlive: Vander Guraad wants Seiya alive and Athena dead, a rare inversion of what usually happens in this franchise.
* LongLostRelative: Just like in the original series, Seiya was separated from his sister at a young age and he hopes he can find her by fighting for Athena. This time she was explicitly rescued by a Gold Saint because Sanctuary was abducting children who displayed signs of Cosmo. Since Seiya hadn't awakened his powers yet, he was left behind.
* ScarsAreEvil: Half of Vander Guraad's face is badly burned and he's blind in one eye.
* ScrewDestinty: Vander Guraad's ultimate goal is to kill the gods so humanity can take control of their own fates. If this were a JRPG he might be the hero.
* WouldHurtAChild: Sanctuary soldiers are willing to murder a child if it means eliminating witnesses.
