Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around a classic hero's journey to protect a divine figure from a corrupt organization, emphasizing individual destiny and heroism. Its themes are rooted in universal fantasy tropes rather than explicit political ideologies, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast, adapting characters from its Japanese source material with actors of various ethnicities. Its narrative maintains a traditional heroic structure, focusing on themes of destiny and conflict without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The show features Patricia (Shaina), a powerful Silver Saint, who engages in and wins multiple close-quarters physical fights against male opponents, including Seiya and armed soldiers, using martial arts and her cosmic abilities.
The adaptation features significant gender swaps for established characters. Andromeda Shun, canonically male in the source material, is portrayed as female. Similarly, Milo, the Scorpio Gold Saint, is also depicted as female, diverging from the original male portrayal.
The character of Milo, the Scorpio Gold Saint, who was originally depicted as a male of ambiguous European descent in the source material, is portrayed as a Black female in the 2019 adaptation. This constitutes a race swap.
The film 'SAINT SEIYA: Knights of the Zodiac' does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Consequently, there is no specific portrayal to evaluate, resulting in an N/A rating for its net impact.
The film "SAINT SEIYA: Knights of the Zodiac" does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate as positive, negative, or neutral, resulting in an N/A rating for its depiction.
