The 80s manga and anime are classics, following five teens called "saints" who are given the power of the constellations through magical cloths and are tasked with defending the goddess Athena from harm.

Knights of the Zodiac stars Netflix's live-action One Piece star Mackenyu as Seiya, a headstrong street kid who becomes an unlikely protector when strange powers emerge from him while he fights in the ring. His exploits in the ring are noticed by Alman Kiddo who recruits Seiya to fight for Sienna , Athena's reincarnated form.
