‘Saint Seiya’ armor shines in Coco Park | Until Mar. 1, 2020
Writer: Cao Zhen | Editor: Vincent Lin | From: Shenzhen Daily
To mark the 30th anniversary of Japanese manga series “Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac,” a large-scale exhibition authorized by its author Masami Kurumada is being held at Coco Park, featuring the author’s drafts, lifelike armor models of the knights and a 12-temple journey for visitors to go on to “save the Greek goddess Athena.”
The manga series was serialized and then adapted into an anime television series by Toei Animation in the 1980s before being introduced to the Chinese mainland in 1992.

“Saint Seiya” follows five mystical warriors who fight wearing sacred sets of armor, the designs of which are derived from the various constellations the characters have adopted as their destined guardian symbols and empowered by a mystical energy. The warriors, called the Saints, have sworn to defend the reincarnation of the Greek goddess Athena in her battle against other Olympian gods.
Male characters in Kurumada’s works often display very masculine qualities and traits and pursue to achieve courage and manhood through sacrifice, selflessness and true heroism. Looking back on the history of such a great title, the exhibition will surely attract a huge wave of visitors.
