The mythology of Saint Seiya: The Knights of the Zodiac Over the years it has been enriched with numerous animated series, spin-offs, manga, and much more that have sometimes created a bit of confusion regarding the franchise's timeline. One of the often misunderstood questions is: How many years does the whole story take place exactly?

The adventures of the Knights of the Zodiac are peppered with unforgettable experiences and sensational battles that actually start a few years earlier than the original series, which was originally created by Masami Kurumada. In any case, in order to better understand the years of development of the plot, it is important to know that the events of Saint Seiya and thus of Pegasus and his friends, dates from 1986.

This is an important element as it allows us to chronologically date the events of the previous Holy War, placed with Tenma, the predecessor of Pegasus, in the lead role 241 years before the original story or 1745 in various parallel productions to that of Kurumada Sensei , we can also set the date of the events of Saint Seiya Omega, which instead take place in 2011, 25 years after the ascension of the Bronze Knights in the 12 Houses of the Golden Knights. So it's about a story that spans two centuries and that on multiple occasions, present and past, alternates two timelines that are closely related, as seen in FIG Saint Seiya: Next Dimension, canonical continuation of the work.

And you, on the other hand, did you know the timeline of events? Let us know with a comment below.
