in 1995, Potter and his brother drew a picture titled "Zodiac Knights 2000"
in 1997, they copyright it and the title but fail to do anything with it. The copyright is listed as abandond in 1998
in 2002, Toei US released a dubbed version of Saint Seiya under the name "Knights of the Zodiac" (to avoid getting lynched for using the word 'saint' in the title of a fantasy series on TV)
in 2003, Potter self publishes a book with his "Zodiac Knights 2000" title and again copyrights the title
and now he's suing everyone he can for stealing his ideas... :P

Knights of the Zodiac (dubbing title of Saint seiya), Zodiac Knights (potter dude)...
Hardly necessary. Suing these days never seem to be reasonable.

Some people actually find things to sue about, and that is likely what this guy here did.
But 10 billion? That's just absurd.... no way that will pass with the courts.
