"Saint Seiya" is the masterpiece of Japanese manga artist Masami Kurumada and a nostalgic piece of anime history for many born in the 1980s to early 2000s. This year, the globally touring "Saint Seiya: Burning Blood 30th Anniversary Exhibition," specially organized by Masami Kurumada’s official studio, is being held from June 28 to July 21 at the 9F Exhibition Hall of Taipei Xinyi A9.

The "Saint Seiya: Burning Blood 30th Anniversary Exhibition" is showcasing, for the first time in Taiwan, twelve life-sized sculptures of the Golden Saints and Athena, as well as original manuscripts handwritten by creator Masami Kurumada and a variety of exclusive merchandise.

Relive the legendary Nine Temples of Sanctuary — Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Aquarius, Pisces, Sagittarius — all the way to the Goddess Hall and the Pope’s Chamber at the summit. Challenge the mighty Golden Saints and save the goddess Athena, guardian of the earth.

Aside from viewing the exhibition, visitors can also experience iconic moves from the Saint Seiya anime. By mimicking the actions, you can unleash techniques just like the Saints, reigniting the passion and excitement for fans.

Additionally, the "Saint Seiya: Burning Blood 30th Anniversary Exhibition" features a "History Corridor," displaying original artwork of famous scenes featuring the Bronze Saints — Seiya, Ikki, Hyoga, Shiryu, and Shun. Each piece of original art includes a personal message from Masami Kurumada.
