Bleach is clearly inspired in Saint Seiya and this is more noticeable in the Soul Society saga which is very similar to the 12 Gold Saints Saga. The Bleach Captains looks a lot with 12 Gold Saints, both looks "unbeatable" and the power gab between the protagonist and they are initially giant.
Endless fighting, Each Character has uniqe zanpakuto/cloth, Similar approach on story, Fillers all over the place.
Captains=Gold Saints
Saint Seiya inspired Tite Kubo into being a mangaka. MUST watch for any Bleach fan.

Both have cinematic fights and an epic cast with a sub-theme of self sacrifice.
I can't believe it, dudes. They both so similar! Bankais, captains and like them saints have diffirent cloths with diffirent powers. (well some times they share one element) It's like a Bleach 20 years ago! I didn't seen anything so similar (and i watched Beelzebub), you should definitely check this out!
you will realize that bleach's style is a "rehearse" attempt for saint seiya
Saint Seiya "created" Bleach. Kubo is a fan of series so if you love bleach, you will love a True classic Saint Seiya too!

Bleach is pretty much a spiritual successor to Saint Seiya. It has a similar arc structure. There are the Gold Saints which are the equivalent to the Captains. They have similarities with the main antagonist being similar be it powers and the plottwist.
The Hades Arc which are adapted as OVA's are similar to Bleach's thousand year blood war Arc.
If you like Bleach, there is a high chance you like Saint Seiya.
