Zodiac or simply Knights of the Zodiac, is a Japanese manga series
written and illustrated by Masami Kurumada. The story follows five
mystical warriors called the Saints who fight wearing sacred sets of

symbols, and empowered by a mystical energy called "Cosmo". The Saints
have sworn to defend the reincarnation of the Greek goddess Athena in
her battle against other Olympian gods who want to dominate Earth. It
was serialized in Weekly ShÅ nen Jump from 1986 to 1990, with the
chapters collected into 28 tankÅ bon volumes by Shueisha.The manga was
adapted into an anime television series by Toei Animation that ran

a fifth in 2004 and a sixth in 2014. Since 2006, creator Kurumada has
