It dropped like a bomb!!, during the third day of CCXP The Knights of the Zodiac was shown, revealing that the character Shun from Andromeda will be a woman in the new adaptation produced by Netflix .

Watch the full trailer for Saint Seiya Shô!

Shun, as everyone knows, is part of the legendary members of the Bronze Knights, where his brother is Ikki de Fênix, who helps in times of tension.

the repercussion of this announcement of Shun being a woman received harsh criticism from fans, whether from the most purists, who didn't like the change, or from those who think it was an extremely lazy change by Netflix, as well as prejudiced, changing a character considered effeminate by fans for a woman.

Obviously the more liberal people won't like seeing the old archetype of the princess being saved by the knight, although this also happens to Athena throughout the entire anime.
