In the first episode we are introduced to the protagonist and the Pegasus Saint of this generation Koga who was raised by Saori Kido unaware that she is actually the reincarnation of the Goddess Athena.Koga at first refuses to become a Saint because he has no idea of what is really going on however when Mars(the God of War) kidnaps Athena so that he rule over the Earth and Koga(now aware that Saori is actually Athena)despite of his efforts fails to stop him,he sets out in a journey to find Athena.Of course it follows the typical"meeting a friend along the way who will later become your alley"plot line and so Koga meets Souma who tells him to join Palaestra(the training school for Saints). "Omega" is composed of two seasons and follows the typical"destined heroes having to save the world from evil"plot just like the original"Saint Seiya"did.If you are looking for a dark and complex story than"Omega"is definitely not for you because its plot is quite simple yet entertaining. "Saint Seiya Omega"is also a more child friendly on the original story so it made some changes(the majority of which the writers fortunately got rid off in season 2) such as introducing an elemental fighting system,a training school for Saints,replacing the Pandora boxes(in which the Cloths were kept)with Crystals and changed the design of the Cloths which is why it has been very badly received by many people from the fandom.However in this review I will explain that despite of its flaws"Saint Seiya Omega"isn't as bad as people say that it is. It is a different take on the story made in order to attract the current generation to the"Saint Seiya"franchise however in order to also appeal to the veteran"Saint Seiya"fans,"Omega"included the protagonist of the original anime Seiya(who plays a more important role in the second season)who has now earned the title of the Saggitarius Gold Saint as well as the other original Bronze Saints from the main cast Hyoga,Shun,Shiryu and Ikki."Omega"also decided to include the minor Bronze Saints like Geki,Jabu,Ban,Nachi and Ichi.We also gets to see Shaina again who is now the master of Koga. "Saint Seiya Omega"is a spin-off series based on the classic"Saint Seiya"anime.The story takes place 25 years after the events in the original manga and anime and focuses on the new generation of Saints. "Omega,the power of miracles,which comes from humans' love for one another.As long as they posses Omega's spirit,humans can still hope."-Saturn in the final episode of"Saint Seiya Omega".
