Mitsumasa Kido of the Grand Foundation held a strong interest in these Saints and sent over 100 young boys to dangerous places all over the world to train them to become Saints. 6 years later, 10 boys who survived the severe training came back to Japan and brought back the official proof of a Saint the “Cloth”.
Saori, the granddaughter of Mitsumasa, takes on Mitsumasa’s will and decides to hold a championship tournament called the Galaxian Wars to have the Saints fight for the greatest symbol of the Saints the “Gold Cloth”.
