Pegasus Fantasy debuted in 1986 as the first opening theme for Saint Seiya, the anime adaptation of Masami Kurumada's manga about young Saints protecting Athena. Performed by Japanese band MAKE-UP with vocals by Nobuo Yamada, the song became inseparable from Seiya and the Pegasus Cloth. As Saint Seiya exploded across Latin America and Europe in the 1990s, the theme turned into a shared childhood anthem. Fans still share clips of its chorus for Saint Seiya edits and anime nostalgia posts, keeping the song alive decades later.

The iconic opening theme Pegasus Fantasy from the Saint Seiya anime, performed by Make-Up, used for heroic anime edits and nostalgic throwbacks.
This is a 35-second excerpt of Pegasus Fantasy, the energetic opening theme to Saint Seiya, also known as Knights of the Zodiac. Driven by electric guitars, pounding drums and a soaring Japanese rock vocal, it erupts with 1980s shonen energy. The singer belts about holding a burning cosmos in your heart, matching Seiya's determination as a Pegasus Knight. Hearing the chorus instantly signals courage, friendship and an impossible battle about to be won, which is why the clip feels both nostalgic and uplifting even out of context.
