Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary follows Saori Kido, a young woman who has grown up unaware of the source of her strange powers. When an assassin attacks her, she is rescued by Seiya, a young fighter trained alongside several others by her adoptive grandfather. Through this encounter, Saori learns that she is the reincarnation of the goddess Athena, and that Seiya and his companions are Bronze Saints sworn to protect her. Their path leads to the Sanctuary, where a false Athena and the Pope have seized control, and the Bronze Saints must face the Golden Saints who guard the twelve houses of the Zodiac to prove Saori's identity and save her life.
