Plot Overview

 * Jan is a Saint that apparently died in vain. This may well have been caused by his straightforward and jump-into-action personality. As he was restless in his grave, he gladly accepted Eris' offer, and was soon revived and given a new body . He faced off against Dragon Shiryu and to his advantage, as the Tateza Cloth has a stronger shield than the Dragon Cloth. In a mere minute, he had defeated Shiryu, but by gravely underestimating the Dragon Saint was soon defeated as Shiryu unleashed all of his Cosmo into one single attack.

Concept & Creation
With the success of the Saint Seiya franchise in both anime & manga form, a movie was proposed by Toei. Masami Kurumada participated in the production and after 3 months he contributed with the new Saints. Jan is named after Jan Sobieski III who the Scutum constellation was made in honor of. As the Lyra & Sagitta Cloths was created by Kurumada for the movie and later appeared in the original story, many assume the Tateza Cloth will too. Tateza Jan was originally named Shield Jan, but for some reason "Shield" was replaced with the Japanese word for it, most likely to decrease any confusion.
