A few weeks ago, Bandai Namco revealed that two characters from Masami Kurumada's brilliant Saint Seiya series of mana and anime were going to be joining the roster in
Jump Force. These two characters were Bronze Saints Pegasus Seiya, and Dragon Shiryu from the original Saint Seiya series first published on Weekly Shōnen Jump back in 1986.
Bandai Namco's
Jump Force is already including characters from popular series like
Dragon Ball Z,
Naruto, and
One Piece, and
Saint Seiya is definitely a series that may not be as well known as the ones just mentioned. While it may not be as popular, the series has been ongoing pretty much since it was first launched, getting a few spin-off series in more recent years, and a Netflix show, in the same vein of
Voltron: Legendary Defender, currently in the works.
Today, Bandai Namco has shared a bunch of high definition images showing off some of the iconic attacks from the Pegasus Saint and Dragon Saint. In
Jump Force, Shiryu will be able to use his One Hundred Rising Dragons and his Rising Dragon Punch, as well as being able to wear the Libra Cloth. Seiya will also be able to use some of his signature attacks such as the Pegasus Meteor and Pegasus Comet, as well as wearing his Sagittarius Saint Cloth.
Take a look:
Universes collide as legendary manga heroes and villains are transported to our reality. Massive battles fill epic locales as good and evil clashes, while humankind hangs in the balance.
Jump Force will be available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on the 15th of February of 2019.
