The Saint Seiya Episode.G manga features a large number of fictional characters, both created by its author Megumu Okada and by Masami Kurumada, author of the original Saint Seiya series which is the base of the universe in which the story takes place. Episode G acts as a prequel to Kurumada`s work and it is set seven years before the events of the first manga, in a fictional universe where the Greek gods cyclically reincarnate into the world to wage war on each other for dominance. Okada takes characters who had played only a supporting role in the original series and puts them in the position of protagonists. The old main characters appear only briefly, in flashforwards of the future.
