Knights of the Zodiac He conquered the hearts of thousands, perhaps millions, of followers in Latin America. The story of Seiya and his companions, written by the legendary mangaka Masami Kurumada, It kept us glued to TVs from the late ’80s to the mid-’90s.
But there is something that Kurumada did not like, although the fans of Knights of the Zodiac did not notice it. What would follow the end of The Saga of Hades in the manga?
After defeating Poseidon and Hades, the end that many thought would come was with the presence of Zeus, the main god of Greek mythology. This would be part of The Sky Saga.
However, the final battle never took place.
But Kurumada I had an idea for her.
Why was The Sky Saga never given in The Knights of the Zodiac? Answer Kurumada
The mangaka gave an interview to the French anime program Club Dorotee, in October 1990. This was remembered by the RPP channel, and according to her, the teacher there was all the interest in developing The Saga of Heaven, or of Zeus.
The idea consisted of for Poseidon to join Hades to face Athena, who would be helped by Zeus.
What happened then? Kurumada revealed it in two interviews in the early 2000s.
He told Men’s Walker magazine: “(Saint Seiya) maintained that popularity for a considerable period of time, but I felt that I was losing all the energies I had with Hades-Hen, and I asked (the publisher) Shueisha to let me finish writing Saint Seiya in a little over ten weeks.
He then expressed to Anime Land magazine: “Saint Seiya was a very, very demanding manga for me. Designing characters with their more and more complex armor every day left me completely without energy. I stopped after Hades because I couldn’t go on anymore.”
“I couldn’t go on anymore.” Tiredness overcame Master Kurumada.
Will The Sky Saga arrive at some point, decades later?
