History Anime / SaintSeiyaKnightsOfTheZodiac

** Miho, Seiya's childhood friend in both manga and the first anime, doesn't exist here. She was barely relevant to the manga, anyway, even if the old anime basically treated her as Seiya's girlfriend, before the the 12 Temples arc put almost all the supporting cast into the bus.

* AdaptationDistillation: Almost all the characters keep their main traits and motivations in comparisson to the original, if with some changes. Shaun is a given. Shaina, whose part of her character was all about her mask hiding her true side, lost this peculiarity since the rule about female saints hiding their faces with masks apparently doesn't exist in this version or it's optional, like in Marin's case.

Creator/{{Netflix}}'s reboot of Manga/SaintSeiya, created in collaboration with Creator/ToeiAnimation, directed by ''Anime/CrossAnge''[='s=] Yoshiharu Ashino and produced by ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble''[='s=] Eugene Son. This show was the series' second foray into all CGI animation after ''Anime/SaintSeiyaLegendOfSanctuary''. Season one was released in July of August 2019 with 6 episodes, with season two, being released in January 2020. The series is a loose retelling of the events of the manga, featuring an original villain.

* AdaptedOut: The original Black Saints (which looked like evil doppelganger versions of the main characters) are replaced by completely different characters, with [[spoiler: Cassius]] replacing the role of Black Pegasus.
* 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.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Just like in ''Anime/SaintSeiyaLegendOfSanctuary'', Mylock's horrible abuse of the Saints during their childhood is omitted and the most unpleasant aspects of his personality are removed. Same goes with Saori, as she is never shown to be manipulative of any of the Bronze Saints.

* AdaptationalWimp: In the original manga/anime, Geki Bear actually causes some trouble to Seiya during their fight. Here, Seiya only needs a couple of seconds to defeat him.

* VillainHasAPoint: Given what we've seen in plenty ''Saint Saiya'' productions, Vander is right about humanity constantly at the whims of JerkassGods and that they could be better off without them. The issue here is that he's willing to murder a girl who he once saw as a daughter just to save the world.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Just like in ''Anime/SaintSeiyaLegendOfSanctuary'', Mylock's horrible abuse of the Saints during their childhood is omitted and the most unpleasant aspects of his personality are removed.

* 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. In the second season it's implied that [[spoiler:Seiya's mentor Meiya]] ''may'' be his sister, but if she is, she doesn't remember it herself.

* SparedByAdaptation: Mitsumasa/Alman is still alive in this series. In the manga and the original anime, he was already dead by the time the story starts.

* DubNameChange: All over the place. Seiya is in the minority for having his original name. Except for other dubs, like in France, Latin America or Japan where everyone kept their original names.

* FightClubbing: The tournament takes place in an underground bunker this time around.
* GenderFlip: Shun is a girl in this adaptation. Everything else about his/her backstory is the same.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Seiya points he expected Shaun was [[MoreDeadlyThanTheMale meaner and tougher than the others]], since she's the only girl around. Shaun subverts that, showing she's actually kind and polite, if laidback. She's not behind the boys in terms of power, though - she just prefers to fight defensively.

!!This work contains examples of:

* AGodAmI: This is how those who side against Sanctuary view Vander Guraad's plans.

* DarkIsEvil: The Black Knights, humans artificially infused with cosmo by Guraad's experiments. They were black armor and their energy attacks are [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack purple in color]].

* 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.

* FightClubbing: The tournament takes place underground this time around.

* GoodScarsEvilScars: Half of Vander Guraad's face is badly burned and he's blind in one eye.

* ScrewDestiny: Vander Guraad's ultimate goal is to kill the gods so humanity can take control of their own fate. If this were a JRPG, he might've been the hero.

* CastingGag: Hilariously enough, the English dub brings back four voice actors from the ADV dub of the TV series, albeit in different roles. Creator/JohnSwasey, who voiced Hydra Ichi, now voices Libra Dohko; Cameron Bautsch, who voiced Pegasus Seiya as a child, provides the voice for Wolf Nachi; and Creator/KiraVincentDavis (the voice of Shaina) and Jay Hickman (the original voice of Shiryu) provide additional voices.

* AndStarring: For Alfonso Herrera in the Latin American Spanish dub, who receives a "Con la actuación especial de Alfonso Herrera como Hyoga"[[note]]With a special performance by Alfonso Herrera as Hyoga[[/note]] in the credits.
