Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas
In an 18th-century European village, with the Holy War looming, live two friends, Tenma and Alone, whose world is shaken when Alone meets Pandora.
The Gold Saints meet with Athena in her Sanctuary to prepare for the new Holy War against the Specters of the Underworld. Tenma begins his training.
Tenma and the other Saints head toward a village in Italy in search of the Specters of the Underworld. Tenma is worried about Alone.
Even after hearing about Tenma's death, and that her brother is the reincarnation of Hades, Sasha stays her tears, determined to do what she must.
One of the most powerful Specters, Griffon Minos, uses his attack to invade the impenetrable Sanctuary. Albafica faces off with the Specter Niobe.
Albafica is defeated in battle. Minos heads to the village outside the Sanctuary that Albafica wanted to protect and begins to lay waste to it.
Tenma, Yato and Yuzuriha are informed that the immortal Specters can be defeated with the fruit of the Sapindus, the Tree of the Sacred Fruit.
Tenma withstands Asmita's mighty assault, and suddenly the Sapindus responds to Tenma's Cosmos and begins to yield the Sacred Fruit.
Taurus Gold Saint Aldebaran uses his great strength to defeat the Specters attempting to invade the Sanctuary, but the Specter Bennu Kagaho shows up.
Aldebaran withstands Kagaho's attack, the 'Corona Blast', an attack so powerful it causes an earthquake.
Tenma finally returns to the Sanctuary to challenge Alone to battle, when the Grand Pope shows up and generates the 'Talisman Cage' to trap Hades.
It is said that the painting that covers the sky, 'The Lost Canvas', will kill all mankind. Tenma realizes the meek Alone wants to destroy humanity.
Tenma leaves, determined to fight alone. Now he knows the Specters won't rest until they see him dead, and he doesn't want more Saints to die for him.
Pandora locks Alone in his studio so he can concentrate on his masterpiece, the 'Lost Canvas', to fully awaken King Hades.
After entering the Forest of Death, Yuzuriha is separated from the group. Yato is attacked by a giant centipede.
Tenma, Yato and Yuzuriha are surrounded by Veronica's zombies, when Manigoldo comes to their rescue with orders from the Pope to protect Tenma.
Manigoldo finds the place where the twins are, but it's useless against the power of Thanatos, God of Death. The Sage Pope arrives to aid him.
Thanatos finally gets serious after Manigoldo injures him. But even in the worst position imaginable, Seiji doesn't hesitate.
Hypnos gathers the four gods who control dreams. One of them, Icelus, appears in Sagittarius, avoiding Capricorn El Cid's attack.
As they near Hades's castle, Tenma, Yuzuriha and Yato find themselves in a thick fog. Suddenly, Tenma finds himself in the town where he grew up.
Phantasos, one of the Four Gods, has fallen, and now El Cid must face Icelus. Meanwhile, Tenma will have to face his dream.
Tenma and El Cid fight hopelessly against the combined power of Oneiros and the other three gods. Athena appears in the Dream World to save Sisyphus.
Athena enters Sisyphus's dream, where she finds him feeling guilty for having separated Tenma and Alone.
The seal of the four gods has been destroyed and Hypnos's Dream Seal is lifted. Now the forces of The Warriors are marching against Hades's castle.
Hakurei enters Hades's castle on his own bearing a sword bathed in the previous Athena's blood. He destroys all Specters in his wake.
Hakurei uses a powerful attack with the help of the souls of his fallen comrades to seal Hypnos. King Hades himself appears.

The Saint Seiya anime (also known as Knights of the Zodiac), based on the manga series of the same name by Masami Kurumada, was produced by Toei Animation. It first premiered on Japan's TV Asahi on October 11, 1986, and continued on until April 1, 1989. It was directed first by Kōzō Morishita (episodes 1–73) and then by Kazuhito Kikuchi (74–114). The character designers were Shingo Araki and Michi Himeno. Seiji Yokoyama composed the soundtrack. The chief scriptwriters were Takao Koyama (1–73) and Yoshiyuki Suga (74–114).
The anime is divided into arcs, similarly to Kurumada's original manga. The first is the 'Sanctuary arc', which starts on episode 1 and ends on episode 73, followed by the 'Asgard arc' (episodes 74–99). The Asgard storyline did not exist in the manga and was created especially for the anime. The third arc, the 'Poseidon arc' (episodes 100–114), concluded the anime, leaving the final part of the manga without an animated adaptation.
It was not until 2002 that the 'Hades arc', the finale to Kurumada's manga, was adapted into an original video animation (OVA) series. The project was divided into three chapters – 'Sanctuary', 'Inferno' and 'Elysion' – spanning a total of 31 episodes. The first chapter was directed by Shigeyasu Yamauchi and scripted by Michiko Yokote. It was broadcast on Animax, a Japanese pay-per-view channel, from November 9, 2002 to April 12, 2003, and later released on DVD in 2003. The second chapter was divided into two parts. The first was directed by Tomoharu Katsumata and scripted by Yosuke Kuroda. The first episodes were released from December 17, 2005, to February 18, 2006. The DVD compilation was released in the same year. The second part of the second chapter was released on Japan's SKY PerfecTV! from December 15, 2006, to March 1, 2007. The third and final chapter was released from March 7 to August 1, 2008.
There have also been a number of theatrical releases, which do not belong to the regular chronology of the series, as they contradict its storyline on several occasions. The films are titled Evil Goddess Eris, The Heated Battle of the Gods, The Legend of the Crimson Youth, Warriors of the Last Holy War and Heaven Chapter Overture. The latest was a 3D CG animation released on June 21, 2014, titled Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary.
In North America, the Saint Seiya anime was licensed to DIC Entertainment, while the home video rights were licensed to ADV Films. Two English dubs were produced. One, an edited dub produced in Toronto, Canada, by DIC, was renamed Knights of the Zodiac, and was broadcast on Cartoon Network in 2003. This dub lasted for 32 episodes and was released to VHS and DVD by ADV Kids. The other dub, produced by ADV Films in Houston, Texas, was fully uncut and lasted for 60 episodes. It retained the original Saint Seiya name. It was released to bilingual DVD from ADV Films, but production ceased when Knights of the Zodiac was canceled on Cartoon Network. In 2009, ADV's interest in Saint Seiya was renewed (combining with ADV possibly licensing the overall rights to the series as opposed to just the Home Video rights) and they re-released their uncut episodes to DVD in boxset format, with plans to release more. Production, however, was once again ceased due to ADV's financial troubles.
A DVD set from New Video, containing 11 discs and the first 73 episodes (marking episodes 61–73's debut in English), titled Saint Seiya: Sanctuary Classic Complete Collection was released in North America on April 15, 2014. The collection contains Japanese audio with English subtitles.[1][2]

Seiya attacks, but Aiolia dodges the attack without difficulty. He explains that all Gold Saints move at the speed of light, while Bronze Saints move at the speed of sound.

| Ptolemy, just before dying, points out that Saori has 12 hours to live, and the Bronze Saints must bring the Pope to her because he is the only one who can remove the arrow from her chest. Even though they don't want to leave her alone, Saori urges the Saints to continue without her. The first House, Aries, is guarded by Mu. The Saints are surprised, but as Shiryu attacks, Mu and Kiki point out that their Bronze Cloths have sustained major damage due to all of their battles. Mu offers to repair their Cloths. As the Saints wait, Shun spots a clock tower with flames instead of numbers, and the twelve flames indicate the time that Saori has to live. One of the flames unfortunately disappears because Mu's repairs took one hour. Once finished, Mu explains to the hurried Saints that the Gold Saints have mastered the essence of Cosmos, known as the Seventh Sense, a mystic power beyond the Six Senses.

| Seiya tries to distract Aldebaran with his Meteor of Pegasus, allowing his friends to go the next House. Unfortunately, the Taurus Saint knocks out Shiryu, Hyoga and Shun, leaving Seiya to fight alone. Seiya's abilities seem to be no match for Aldebaran's Great Horn technique, so he is pushed into a grave by the Gold Saint. Seiya begins to lose hope, but Saori appears before him using her Cosmos, urging him not to give up. Marin also appears before him, reminding him of their training with the combat principle iai. Aldebaran's posture resembles that style of fighting, so now, with new determination, Seiya comes back to the battle. As Aldebaran attacks him again, Seiya is able to see through the light speed attack, make a huge counterattack and break his posture. Aldebaran realizes that Seiya is beginning to awaken his Seventh Sense. While fighting, they make a deal, if Seiya is able to break one of Aldebaran's Golden Horns, he will be named the victor. | ||||

Seiya is named the victor as promised and is allowed passage to the next House. Shiryu and the others awaken but Aldebaran does not allow them to leave until they defeat him. Seiya reluctantly leaves and warns them of Aldebaran's use of the iai principle. He then heads to the House of Gemini as the second hour ends. Shiryu, Hyoga and Shun combine their abilities, freezing Aldebaran's arms in the process. They are also allowed passage, but not before Aldebaran instructs them to awaken their Seventh Senses individually and not to underestimate the Gold Saints. The Bronze Saints meet up with Seiya but soon realize they cannot go through the House of Gemini and end up back at the entrance. Meanwhile, Aldebaran reveals to Mu that the Bronze Saints weren't the traitors that Pope Arles said they were. They also begin to doubt about the Pope's intentions. Back at the House of Gemini, the four Bronze Saints now face two Houses of Gemini, so they decide to split up. Seiya and Shiryu head to the right House and Hyoga and Shun head to the left House, with the group that goes through the exit to head for the House of Cancer.

At the other House of Gemini, Seiya and Shiryu encounter the Gemini Gold Saint as well, but since Shiryu is blind, he is immune to the illusions and can see the exit in his mind. He stops Seiya from attacking, and both rush to the exit. They try to figure out what caused the illusions, but then they head to the House of Cancer, confident that Shun and Hyoga will figure out how to get through. Meanwhile, Pope Arles is in meditation, and is revealed to be the one who created the illusions. Shun's chains are confused and can't attack the Gold Saint. The Gemini Gold Saint uses his Another Dimension technique and Hyoga is sent away to another realm. Shun was able to save himself thanks to his chains, but he couldn't save Hyoga. The Gold Saint unleashes the technique again, but this time, he breaks one of Shun's chains and is about to break the other one. | ||||

| The Gemini Gold Saint breaks the other chain, but a strong Cosmos disrupts Arles' meditation, bringing Shun back to the House of Gemini, with the exit now visible. Arles tries to figure out who broke his meditation. The source came from inside the volcano in Canon Island, where Saints go to restore their power. While restoring his power, Phoenix Ikki sent his Cosmos to save Shun, promising he will join his friends and brother in battle. Shun refuses to leave without Hyoga, but since Ikki has gone back to sleep, the illusions come back and the exit is closed again. The Gold Saint reappears and unleashes his Another Dimension again, with Shun now at his mercy. After remembering the words of Saori, Ikki and Aldebaran, Shun recovers and awakens his Seventh Sense in order to fight for his friends and Athena. Both chains come back to him and masters two new techniques: Rolling Defense and Thunder Wave. Shun uses the Thunder Wave to attack the one who created the illusions. After strangely talking to himself, Ares reluctantly allows Shun passage through the House. With the illusions now gone, Shun finds the Gemini Gold Cloth empty. He leaves the House and hopes Hyoga is okay. Meanwhile, in another House, Hyoga awakens to find another Gold Saint standing before him. | ||||

Camus reveals that they are in the House of Libra, supposedly guarded by Shiryu's master, Roshi. Camus gives Hyoga the choice to surrender or fight him and attacks him. Hyoga tells Camus of his disciple's death and Arles' control over him. Camus ignores his words and shoots a beam to Siberia in order to sink the ship where Hyoga's mother is, to the bottom. Angered that he will never see his mother again, Hyoga attacks, but due to his weak Cosmos, and him being filled with emotions, his attacks are useless. Camus tells Hyoga that to reach the Ultimate Cosmos, the Seventh Sense, he must forget about his mother. However, Hyoga is unable to, so Camus defeats Hyoga with his ultimate attack, Aurora Execution. As the third flame on the clock is extinguished, Hyoga's Cosmos disappears. Camus, as a final respect to his disciple, places Hyoga in a Freezing Coffin, which will never melt. Camus bids farewell to his disciple and leaves the House of Libra. | ||||

Inside, they are horrified to discover the House is filled with the faces of dead people, including the faces of children. Cancer Deathmask appears and reveals that the faces are of all the people he has killed while 'fighting evil'. Enraged, Shiryu tells Seiya to go to the House of Leo while he fights Deathmask by himself. Deathmask unleashes his Sekishiki Waves and transports Shiryu's soul to the Land of Death, a realm between the Worlds of the Living and the Dead. Once there, Shiryu is able to see and notices strange figures walking, and sees Hyoga alongside them. Saori appears and tells him that those figures are headed to the Land of the Dead. She helps Shiryu return to the House of Cancer to defeat Deathmask. Shiryu's Rising Dragon is inaffective against Deathmask, since he has seen the technique before in their previous fight.

However, Deathmask also sense the prayers, and goes to the Land of Death to finish off Shiryu once and for all. He then shows Shiryu the dead figures' destination, Yomutsu Hirasaka, a portal that leads to the World of the Dead. Once someone falls in there, they can never come back. Deathmask is about to throw Shiryu into Yomutsu, but Shunrei's prayers distract him. Deathmask then finds out where the prayers came from. Annoyed by her prayers, he uses his Cosmos to throw Shunrei down the waterfalls. Now filled with intense rage, Shiryu attacks Deathmask without mercy, swearing to kill him, also to avenge not only the people he's killed, but also Shunrei, the most important person to him. | ||||

| Shiryu's assault continues, but Deathmask once again gains the upper hand, taking advantage of the protection his Gold Cloth gives him. As Shiryu is about to fall into Yomutsu, zombies, who were Deathmask's victims, attack the Gold Saint. However, they are powerless against their murderer and are thrown down into the World of the Dead. While Shiryu wonders why a man like Deathmask, cruel and filled with evil, was bestowed an honor of being a Gold Saint, he remembers his master's words about true justice. Thanks to some encouragement from Saori, Shiryu counterattacks, and without warning, the legging of Deathmask's Gold Cloth removed itself from his body. Deathmask's gauntlet does the same, refusing to protect him from Shiryu's attacks. Shiryu informs Deathmask of the Will of the Cloth, which chooses the Saint worthy of wearing it. Sensing Deathmask is no longer worthy of being a Saint of Athena, the Cancer Gold Cloth removes itself from his body. Shiryu removes his Dragon Bronze Cloth to make it a fair fight. Shiryu then awakens his Seventh Sense, blocks Deathmask's Sekishiki and throws him into Yomutsu, killing him. Shun arrives in the House of Cancer, just as Shiryu's soul returns to his body. Roshi suddenly communicates with Shiryu through his Cosmos and informs him Shunrei is alive and well. Shiryu suddenly realizes he can see again. Roshi tells him that reaching the Seventh Sense was the cause of the miracle. It was also thanks to the Water of Life Seiya brought to him and Shunrei's prayers. The faces in the House of Cancer disappeared, allowing Deathmask's victims to rest in peace. Shiryu and Shun now head for the House of Leo. | ||||

| Seiya arrives at the House of Leo, glad to see Aiolia again, but he acts differently, blocking his path. Aiolia suddenly attacks Seiya with a light speed blow, telling him his suffering will soon end. Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Sanctuary, a hooded stranger defeats some soldiers in order to enter the 12 Houses. The stranger is revealed to be Eagle Marin. Marin was warned by June, Shun's friend, that Seiya and his friends were fighting the 12 Gold Saints. Seiya confronts Aiolia about why he forgot his promise to fight for Athena, sensing something is wrong with him. Still refusing to listen to Seiya, Aiolia unleashes another attack. Seiya realizes he has to awaken his Seventh Sense once again in order to see through Aiolia's attacks and defeat him. Marin is confronted by Yaki, a giant man who was disqualified from being a Saint, due to his love of killing. While fighting her, Yaki informs Marin that Aiolia will kill Seiya. She doesn't believe him because she knows Aiolia is a righteous man with a kind heart. Marin takes a risk and throws herself along with Yaki off a cliff. As they both fall, Marin sends her Cosmos to Seiya, allowing him to see through Aiolia's light speed blow and finally landing a kick to his face. | ||||

| Aiolia recovers with piercing red eyes and a murderous look on his face. He then attacks Seiya, breaking his right leg. Seiya wonders how Aiolia went from a benevolent man to a bloodthristy demon. Meanwhile, Cassios, Seiya's rival and Shaina's student, is looking after her after Aiolia left her with him to see Pope Arles. In her sleep, Shaina mentions Seiya's name. Angered, Cassios storms out of his home, remembering Seiya cutting off his left ear and defeating him, earning the Pegasus Bronze Cloth. While in town, Cassios overhears soldiers talking about Seiya reaching the House of Leo. When he comes back, Shaina has woken up and Cassios informs her about Seiya and his friends. Shaina is relieved about the House of Leo, but tries to leave when she realizes Virgo Shaka is their next opponent. Cassios tells her that Aiolia is under the control of Pope Arles' Imperial Satanic Illusion, which controls the opponent's brain. While Aiolia was fighting Shaka, Arles sprung his Illusion on him. The illusion activates when the victim is attacked, and changes him into a demon. The illusion will disappear when someone dies in front of him. Shaina tries to leave, but Cassios knocks her out cold and heads for the House of Leo. Meanwhile, Aiolia is still launching merciless attacks at Seiya. | ||||

| While Seiya is still at the mercy of the possessed Aiolia, Shiryu and Shun rush to the House of Leo. Cassios, however, stands in their way and defeats them. He then heads to the House of Leo. Seiya is still struggling to see Aioria's light speed blow to help Shiryu and Shun, but to no avail. While suffering Aiolia's Lightning Bolt and his most powerful attack, Lightning Plasma, Seiya is about to be killed. Suddenly, Cassios appears, but to Seiya's surprise, he attacks Aiolia and tells him to go to the House of Virgo. Cassios says he is doing this for Shaina, who wanted her to be happy. He reveals Aiolia is under the Pope's illusion and tries to restrain him to try to get him back to normal. Seiya is confused as to why, but Cassios didn't want Shaina to be sad if he died. As Aiolia fires another Lightning Plasma, Cassios takes the attack at full force, sacrificing himself. Seiya once again awakens his Seventh Sense, avoids the Lightning Plasma and fires a monstrous Meteor of Pegasus, striking Aiolia. Unfortunately, Cassios has died due to the attack. Shiryu and Shun arrive at the House, and Aiolia is released from the illusion. Seiya mourns the loss of his rival who protected him. Aiolia says Cassios' death was not in vain. The fifth flame on the clock vanishes, leaving seven hours to go. | ||||

| Aiolia heals Seiya's leg and warns the Bronze Saints to not let Virgo Shaka, the Gold Saint closest to God, open his eyes, or everyone around him will perish. With that warning, the three Saints head for the House of Virgo. At Canon Island, Sanctuary soldiers attack the villagers, looking for Ikki. They have the village elder and his granddaughter Elene take them to the volcano, but he refuses to lead them any further. The soldiers torture him, but as Elene cries for help, Ikki appears before them. He quickly kills the soldiers, but two Silver Saints appear before Ikki: Pavo Shiva and Lotus Agora, both pupils of Virgo Shaka. Ikki attacks, but he is paralyzed by something strange. Elene's grandfather unfortunately dies due to the soldiers' beatings. Elene begs for help, but Shiva attacks her. Ikki uses his Phoenix Illusion, but it fails, as both him and Agora are enlightened, thanks to Shaka's teachings. As Ikki is attacked by Shiva, Shun feels his brother is in trouble, but is confident he can win. Elene survived, and thanks to her words, Ikki gets back up. Agora jumps into the fray, ready to attack, but Ikki is immobilized again. | ||||

| Ikki is attacked and near death. Saori and Shun can't feel his Cosmos. Thanks to Elene, Ikki suddenly realises as long as someone like Elene needs him, he awakens and saves her. He stands to fight against Shiva and Agora, willing to fight for his friends, or die trying. Unfortunately, Ikki is still at a disadvantage. Shaka is the one revealed to be immobilizing Ikki, but Saori blocks his Cosmos to free him and tells him to keep fighting as his friends are waiting for him. Ikki finally counterattacks, and is able to block Shiva and Agora's best moves. The Silver Saints gain the upper hand momentarily, but Ikki makes a comeback and kills them with his Rising Phoenix. Ikki comes back to Elene, victorious, but wonders who Shaka might be. Meanwhile, Seiya, Shiryu and Shun finally arrive at the House of Virgo. | ||||
| 056 | 'Shaka! Most Sacred Saint' Transcription: 'Shaka! Mottomo kami ni chikai otoko' (Japanese: シャカ! もっとも神に近い男) | 12.3 | November 28, 1987 | |
| As Seiya and his friends enter the House of Virgo, they feel a Cosmos filled with peace and serenity. They then encounter Virgo Shaka. Seiya attacks, but Shaka sends his attack back at him. Shiryu's Rising Dragon and Shun's Nebula Chain are useless against him as well. With a single attack, Shaka knocks out all three Saints. But as he is about to finish Shun, Shaka is attacked by a Phoenix feather. Ikki suddenly appears before the Gold Saint. As punishment for hurting his finger, Shaka has made a lake of blood appear at Ikki's feet. Refusing to accept Shaka as a holy being, Ikki evaporates the blood with his strengthened Cosmos. Shaka reveals that he was the one immobilizing Ikki at Canon Island. He realizes the Gold Saint could be an incarnation of Buddha. Ikki is suddenly frozen where he stands once again, and Shaka uses his Six Incarnation technique, which shows the opponent the six worlds of the Afterlife, and he must choose one. The worlds are of Hell, Hungry Demons, the Beast World, Asura, World of Human Emotions, and Heaven. Ikki falls unconscious, while Shaka wonders which of the worlds the Phoenix ended up in. | ||||

| Rain comes pouring down in the Sanctuary, and Pope Arles is confident that Shaka will kill the Bronze Saints. Ikki suddenly awakens and attacks Shaka with his Phoenix Illusion. Unfortunately for Ikki, he is feeling the effects of his own illusion and sees a traumatizing event from his past. Shaka then destroys the Phoenix Bronze Cloth without any effort and twists Ikki's body. Ikki recovers and tries to escape, unfortunately, he doesn't get very far. Shaka attacks, but Ikki reappears with his Phoenix Cloth restored, swearing to attack until Shaka is defeated. Suddenly, Shaka burns his Cosmos brighter than before, using his Ring of Heaven's Treasure, a technique uniting offense and defense. It is also capable of destroying the enemy's five senses, one by one. Shaka then opens his eyes, much to Ikki's horror. Ikki loses his Cloth again and loses his sense of touch. Next, he loses his sense of smell. Ikki confronts Shaka and demands to know why he fights for Pope Arles. Shaka then eliminates his sense of taste, paralyzing his tongue. Ikki then loses his sense of sight, blinding him. Since Ikki can still hear, Shaka answers his question, that he fights for Athena and for justice. He sees Pope Arles as justice. Now finally, Ikki's sense of hearing is eliminated. | ||||

| Outside, six flames from the clock burned out, only six hours remain. Ikki only has his mind and heart left. As Shaka delivers the final blow, Shun wakes up and stops Shaka, but Ikki informs Shun that he will defeat the Gold Saint. Shaka attacks, but Ikki's Cosmos block the technique and expands more and more. Seiya and Shiryu awake to see Ikki's Cosmos getting stronger. Shaka uses his Ring of Heaven's Treasure to destroy Ikki's sixth sense, with only his heart beating. Shun steps up to fight, but Ikki's Cosmos burns brighter than before. Without all of his six senses, Ikki reaches the Seventh Sense. He suddenly appears behind Shaka, realizing that he keeps his eyes closed to increase his Cosmos and releases it once he opens his eyes. Ikki also allowed Shaka to destroy his senses on purpose to increase his Cosmos. He then takes a hold of Shaka, ready to die with him. In a sudden burst of power, both travel trillions of miles away. Before that, Ikki bids farewell to Shun and tells him to fight like a man until the end. The only thing remaining after the blast is the Virgo Gold Cloth. Shun is tearful at his brother's sacrifice, but Seiya and Shiryu don't have time to mourn Ikki and head for the House of Libra. As Shun remembers Ikki's last words, he swears his brother's death will not be in vain, and joins his friends to go to the next House. | ||||

| As the rain ends, Aiolia takes Cassios to Shaina, and senses Shaka's defeat. He also wonders when the bloodshed in this battle will end. Shaina suddenly appears and is horrified to see Cassios dead. Aiolia tells her that he was responsible for Cassios' death and that he sacrificed himself to free him from Arles' illusion. Shaina remembers Cassios' kindness towards her and realizes that he loved her. Enraged, Shaina goes to the 12 Houses but Aiolia stops her and knocks her unconscious. While Shaina rests in bed, Aiolia buries Cassios, makes him a grave and asks him to watch over Shaina forever. Seiya and his friends arrive at the House of Libra and are shocked to find Hyoga frozen in ice. Shiryu deduces that Aquarius Camus froze Hyoga, but they sense that Hyoga is barely alive. Seiya uses his Meteor of Pegasus, but it doesn't even make a dent. The coffin is so strong that all the Gold Saints together can't destroy it. Suddenly, the Gold Cloth of Libra, sent by Roshi, appears before them. It is different than the other 11 Gold Cloths because it holds six pairs of weapons: the Twin Rod, Sword, Spear, Triple Rod, Tonfa, and Shield. 12 weapons in total, meant for the Gold Saints. However, they are only used if Athena and the Gold Saint of Libra allow it. Shiryu carefully chooses the Golden Sword to break the coffin and free Hyoga. His heart is barely beating, but Shun offers to save him. As the seventh hour is up, Seiya and Shiryu head for the House of Scorpio. Shun burns his Cosmos to warm Hyoga up from the inside, risking his own life to save his friend. | ||||

| Shun remembers Ikki's last words, and the battle that earned him the Andromeda Bronze Cloth, but realizes the right thing to do is to save Hyoga. Seiya and Shiryu enter the House of Scorpio, and sense Shun's Cosmos exploding. Shiryu remembers an old fable of a rabbit sacrificing its life to save a traveler, and it resembles Shun's destiny of Andromeda, who sacrificed her life to save her people. Suddenly, Scorpio Milo appears before them and uses his Restriction to stop them in their tracks. Shiryu attacks with his Rising Dragon but Milo easily evades the attack. Hearing Shiryu's statement that he avoided it, Milo challenges him to attack again, with him not moving this time. Shiryu attacks again, but Milo blocks the attack and sends him flying. Seiya awakens his Seventh Sense and manages to land a blow against Milo's face, even though it was only a scratch. Milo counterattacks before Seiya is able to catch a glimpse of his attack. Both Saints stand up prepared to fight the Gold Saint and attack him together. Milo counterattacks again with his Scarlet Needle, leaving both paralyzed by the stinging pain from the Scarlet Needle. The Gold Saint is about to launch the final blow, but Hyoga appears with an unconscious Shun in his arms. Hyoga then tells his friends to get up, saying that all four will make it to the Pope's chambers together. | ||||

| Milo's Restriction is useless against Hyoga, so in retaliation, he uses his Ring of Ice to immobilize Milo. He then tells Seiya and Shiryu to leave with Shun and go on to the next House. Meanwhile, Tatsumi arrives to Saori's side. Sanctuary soldiers arrive to kill Saori, so Tatsumi holds them off. Mu and Kiki suddenly leave, but as Tatsumi can no longer distract them, Unicorn Jabu, Lionet Ban, Hydra Ichi, Bear Geki, and Wolf Nachi appear to defeat the soldiers. They inform Tatsumi that after their defeat during the Galaxian Wars, Saori allowed them to return to their training places to get stronger. They have returned to protect Athena while they wait for Seiya and his friends to return. As Milo frees himself, he and Hyoga begin their battle. Both their attacks clash, but Hyoga is struck by Milo's Scarlet Needle. Milo explains that his Scarlet Needle has 15 strikes, the same number as the stars of the Scorpio constellation. He then gives Hyoga the choice to surrender or die. Since Hyoga refuses and keeps using Diamond Dust, he receives more strikes. When Hyoga receive the 14th needle, Milo is ready to use Antares, the final blow of the Scarlet Needle, also known as the heart of the Scorpio constellation. Hyoga points out that Milo's feet are frozen to the ground, due to the several Diamond Dust attacks he has unleashed. Unable to move, Milo is then struck by the Aurora Thunder Attack. | ||||

| As Milo recovers, Hyoga starts bleeding heavily due to the 14 Scarlet Needle strikes. He also begins to lose his five senses. Milo then reveals what Camus' true intentions were back at the House of Libra. Camus wanted Hyoga to reach the Seventh Sense. All he did was to test him. Since Hyoga couldn't forget his mother and reach the Ultimate Cosmos, Camus had no choice but to strike Hyoga with his ultimate attack and freeze him. Camus didn't want any of the Gold Saints to kill him, so he chose to do it himself, willing to wait hundreds of years for him to come back to life, despite knowing that Hyoga eventually would find a way to escape the coffin and keep fighting. Milo agrees to spare Hyoga's life for Camus' sake and tells him to leave the Sanctuary. Hyoga refuses, saying it was useless for him to be frozen like that, and will fight alongside his friends until the end. Meanwhile, the eighth hour is up. Tatsumi has sent Geki to retrieve something, and Seiya and Shiryu, with Shun in his arms, head for the House of Sagittarius. Hyoga stands up, saying his mother's memory is always with him, and will fight, knowing his friends risked their lives for him. Hyoga launches his final Diamond Dust while Milo launches Antares. Milo strikes and it seems that he is victorious. However, Milo's 15 star points were frozen, and he realizes Hyoga did it while he launched his Diamond Dust and Milo was striking with Antares. Hyoga managed to awaken the Seventh Sense, and if Milo was not wearing the Gold Cloth, he would've died. Suddenly, Hyoga crawls on the ground, struggling to leave. Milo suddenly realizes that Saori Kido is Athena and saves Hyoga's life, stopping the bleeding and his senses slowly returning. As Hyoga leaves, Camus looks on from the House of Aquarius. | ||||

| Geki returns, bringing with him Saori's Golden Scepter. As Tatsumi places it in her hand, it glows and summons the Sagittarius Gold Cloth right in front of Jabu and the others. Tatsumi believes that Athena is returning the Cloth to Aiolos. The Saints question him, so Tatsumi reveals the story of when Mitsumasa Kido met Aiolos. After the story, there is a vibrating sound all across the Sanctuary. All 12 Gold Cloths resonate, since they are all now in the Sanctuary after 13 years. Pope Arles, the Gold Saints, Seiya and his friends, Shaina, and even Marin, who has survived her fall from the cliff, sense the resonance. Pope Arles starts to get so nervous that he starts to have hallucinations of the Saints, Aiolos and Athena. The Sagittarius Gold Cloth goes into the House of Sagittarius, just as Seiya and his friends go into the House. The Cloth suddenly shoots an arrow at Seiya. | ||||

| The arrow barely miss Seiya's heart and hits the wall. Shun wakes up and sees that a giant hole opens up in the wall. Since there is no exit, the Saints decide to go through the hole, shortly after Hyoga arrives in time to join them. As they pass through a narrow passage, the roof above them tries to crush them. Shiryu stays behind and allows his friends to go through. He then destroys the rock and is seemingly crushed. As the Saints move on, they fall into a cavern. Suddenly it gets flooded and Hyoga stays behind to stop the flood. However, he gets caught up in it and is knocked out cold. Seiya and Shun try to swing from one end of a cliff to another, but only one can go through. Shun allows Seiya to go through while Shun falls to the bottom. Seiya barely makes it, but as he tries to climb up, he keeps falling. Thinking of Saori and his friends, he tries to keep going, but can't seem to reach the top. Just as he is about to give up, a warm Cosmos covers Seiya, restoring his energy. It does the same for Shiryu, Hyoga, and Shun, it tells all four to save Athena. As Seiya reaches the top, the Sagittarius Gold Cloth is there, and it teleports him and the others back to the House. The Cloth fires another arrow and hits another wall, revealing a message written in Greek. Seiya is in tears, revealing Aiolos' testament. It read, 'To the young men who have come here, I entrust you with Athena's life.' The four Bronze Saints are overcome with emotion, realizing what a great person Aiolos was, and how he entrusted them with the person he cared for the most. All of those traps were tests to see if they were worthy of reading that message. The exit appears before them, with the Bronze Saints swearing to protect Athena now and forever. | ||||
| 065 | 'Growling Excalibur! Shura vs. Dragon' Transcription: 'Unaru seiken! Shura tai Doragon' (Japanese: うなる聖剣! シュラ対ドラゴン) | 16.2 | February 6, 1988 | |
| The sun sets and there are three hours left. Seiya and his friends have reached the House of Capricorn. Inside, they discover a statue of Athena. Shiryu explains the meaning of the statue: to reward her most loyal warrior, Athena rewarded him with the sacred sword, Excalibur. The Saints head outside, since the Gold Saint of Capricorn didn't show himself. Suddenly, a flash of light splits the ground, separating Shiryu from his friends. However, Shiryu had actually pushed them to the other side to save his friends and fight the one responsible: the Gold Saint, Capricorn Shura. Hyoga and the others, left with no choice, head to the House of Aquarius. Shura's technique are capable of slicing through anything, like the sword Excalibur. He is also proud to be the most loyal warrior of Athena. Shura then tells Shiryu that 13 years ago, he was the one who killed Aiolos, who was branded a traitor. Aiolos wore his Cloth and almost won the battle, but he couldn't attack Shura again, because the baby Athena was at his feet. Shura unleashed another Excalibur and struck Aiolos. Even though Aiolos was near death, he escaped to bring Athena to safety. Shura refuses to believe Aiolos wasn't a traitor and continues his assault. Shiryu strikes back with a powerful Rising Dragon, but to no avail. To Shiryu's shock, Shura slices the Dragon Cloth and Shield into pieces. However, Shiryu was able to block the last blow and increase his Cosmos, revealing the Dragon on his back. Shiryu swears to defeat Shura and avenge Aiolos, even if he must take the Gold Saint with him. | ||||

| Shiryu promises to take Shura with him if necessary. Unfortunately, as Shiryu attacks with his Rising Dragon, Shura discovers his weak point and attacks him there. However, he showed it to Shura on purpose to break his left arm. Shiryu is able to dodge Shura's attack even while seriously injured, and prepares to use a technique forbidden by his master, Roshi. The technique, known as the Final Dragon, is an unbeatable attack, and no one can stand its absolute force. Unfortunately, its a double-edge technique, not only does it kill the enemy, but the one who unleashes it as well. Meanwhile, Seiya, Hyoga and Shun reach the House of Aquarius, and the tenth flame on the clock extinguishes. As Shiryu attacks, Shura strikes his heart again, but can't release his right arm. Shiryu cuts Shura's arm off and unleashes the Final Dragon. Shiryu holds on to Shura, and both rise into the sky at an incredible speed. Shiryu apologizes to his master and entrusts Athena to his friends. Seiya, Hyoga, Shun, and even Shunrei and his master can see Shiryu rising like a shooting star. As they rise faster and faster, Shura realises who Athena really was, the baby he almost killed when he fought Aiolos. Saori speaks to Shiryu and tells him not to die but he apologizes for sacrificing himself. Shura, realizing his mistake, apologizes to both Shiryu and Aiolos. Unfortunately, they reach outer space, with Shura saying they will turn into stardust and watch over Athena. Back on Earth, Seiya and the others sense Shiryu's Cosmos disappearing and mourn their friend. | ||||

| After Shiryu's sacrifice, Hyoga orders Seiya and Shun to go to the next House while he fights Camus alone. Inside, Hyoga thanks Camus for his teachings through the Crystal Saint, ready to battle his master once again. As Camus block Hyoga's Diamond Dust and freezes his legs, Hyoga remembers the Crystal Saint explaining the Absolute Zero (273.15 degrees below zero). Camus explain that in a battle between Saints of ice, the one whose cold is closest to the Absolute Zero would win the battle. However, Camus' ultimate attack, Aurora Execution doesn't work on Hyoga anymore. Hyoga uses the Aurora Thunder Attack, but to no avail. Camus freezes his student in a coffin once again. However, Hyoga, remembering the struggle of his friends and Shiryu's sacrifice, is able to break the coffin from the inside. He did it by lowering his temperature near the Absolute Zero. Then, Camus and Hyoga unleash rays of cold air, and to Camus' surprise, they are evenly matched. Camus explains that unless he freezes his Gold Cloth, Hyoga will never win. The temperature for that to happen is the Absolute Zero. With words of encouragement from his loved ones, Hyoga unleashes a full blast of cold air, freezing the right shoulder on Camus' cloth, but the Cygnus Cloth is destroyed in the process. Camus is about to launch the Aurora Execution, but Hyoga does the same position, attempting to do the same technique. Both master and student launch the technique, and both waves of ice clash. Outside, Seiya and Shun sense Hyoga's Cosmos disappear, as they head for the last House, the House of Pisces. Camus, whose entire Gold Cloth is now frozen, exclaims that he is proud of Hyoga for mastering his technique and the Seventh Sense, but falls to the ground dead, apologizing to him. Hyoga, covered in ice as well, thanks his master and collapses shortly after into a near-death state. | ||||
| 068 | 'Warrior of Beauty! Aphrodite' Transcription: 'Bi no senshi! Afurodīte' (Japanese: 美の戦士! アフロディーテ) | 18.1 | February 27, 1988 | |
| Jabu and his friends sense Hyoga's Cosmo vanishing and decides to help Seiya, but Jabu stops them, thinking they won't be of any help. He believes Seiya and Shun will make it in time. Pope Arles mysteriously talks to himself again about the victories and losses of the recent battles. He also has plenty of confidence on the Gold Saint of Pisces. Meanwhile, Shun asks Seiya to go to the Pope's chambers while he fights the Gold Saint by himself. Even though Seiya is concerned because of his destiny, Shun isn't worried because of his brother's words and his master Albiore's teachings. The eleventh fire burns out, only one hour remains. Seiya and Shun reach the House, and encounter the warrior of beauty, Pisces Aphrodite. Seiya dashes past Aphrodite and Shun stops him with his chains. Aphrodite, however, says Seiya will die along the way. Seiya finally passes all 12 Houses, but he discovers that the path to the Pope's chambers is covered in roses. Seiya starts running, but he feels numb and suddenly collapses. | ||||
| 069 | 'Demon Roses! Sweet Fragrance of Death' Transcription: 'Demon Rōzu! Amaki shi no kaori' (Japanese: デモンローズ! 甘き死の香り) | 18.6 | March 12, 1988 | |
| Aphrodite explains that the roses are known as Royal Demon Roses, poisonous roses that can kill someone with their thorns or pollen. Seiya will lose his five senses and soon die. He then reveals that he is the assassin of Shun's master Albiore. Alongside Scorpio Milo, they went to Andromeda Island. Albiore was as strong as a Gold Saint even though he was a Silver Saint, so Milo struggled and was slowly approaching defeat. Aphrodite threw a rose and poisoned Albiore, paralyzing him and leaving him vulnerable for Milo's killing blow. Shun attacks, ready to avenge his master, but falls victim to the Royal Demon Roses. Shun thinks back to his training on Andromeda Island while training with Reda, Spica, and June. Shun was willing to try the Sacrifice Ritual to earn the Andromeda Bronze Cloth. June tried to get him to quit and go back to Japan, as she was worried about him. Shun, however, was determined to go through with it and go back to Japan with the Cloth, to see Ikki again. Before the ritual, Shun defeated Spica and Reda. The ritual consisted of Shun being tied to rocks by the Andromeda Chain. If he burned his Cosmos to the limit and cut the chain, he will earn the Andromeda Cloth. Albiore believed that a Saint should also have a heart as kind as Shun's, and wanted to see that he could prove it. Shun burned and exploded his Cosmos, allowing him to break the chain, earning the Andromeda Bronze Cloth. Back to the present, Shun stands up, ready to fight again. With Shun's Circle Chain, he is able to block Aphrodite's Royal Demon Rose with Rolling Defense and repel the attack. Shun tries to end the battle with his Thunder Wave, but a black rose stops the attack. | ||||
| 070 | 'Peace! Shun's Last Smile' Transcription: 'Yasuraka ni! Shun, saigo no bishō' (Japanese: 安らかに! 瞬、最後の微笑) | 19.1 | March 19, 1988 | |
| Just as Shun was about to deal the final blow, Aphrodite's black rose, Piranian Rose, devours and destroys both Chains and the Andromeda Cloth. Suddenly, Shun's Cosmos burns brighter, and remembers when he showed his master Albiore his true power. Shun awakens the Seventh Sense and unleash the Nebula Stream, which not only attacks, but also immobilizes the opponent. However, Aphrodite pulls out a white rose, known as the Bloody Rose, which attaches itself to one's heart, absorbing all the blood. When it turns red, the opponent will die. Aphrodite, who believes the Pope's logic of power equalling justice, launches the rose and it attaches to Shun's heart. Shun explodes his Cosmos and unleashes the Nebula Storm, killing Aphrodite and avenging his master. Shun apologizes to Seiya for not being able to save him and prepares to join his friends and brother in the afterlife as the rose absorbs all the blood in his heart. Meanwhile, as Marin rushes to save Seiya, Phaeton and his men corner her and try to kill her. Surprisingly, Shaina helps her out. She defeats Phaeton and Marin takes him to show her a quick passage through the 12 Houses while Shaina defeats a group of soldiers. Time is running out for both Saori and Seiya. | ||||

| Marin finally reaches Seiya and is able to help him get closer to the Pope's chambers by having him wear her mask and stop breathing the pollen. However, Marin collapses on the way. In anger, Seiya destroys all the roses with his Meteor of Pegasus. Shaina appears and offers to take care of Marin while Seiya goes to the Pope. Seiya enters the chambers and confronts the Pope, but is confused about his attitude. He seems to be ashamed of what he has done. Even though the Pope says he can't remove the arrow, he tells Seiya how he can save her. Beyond the Pope's chambers is the Temple of Athena, which holds a statue of her and a shield. The Pope explains that Nike, the goddess of victory, takes the form of Saori's golden scepter. The Shield of Justice, which blocks any evil attack, can save her. Seiya needs to aim the shield in Saori's direction and make the arrow disappear. As Seiya leaves, the Pope's hair and personality completely change and he becomes evil. Meanwhile, Marin tells Shaina that she went to Star Hill, where the Pope goes to see the stars and predict the future. Marin went to find some clues about why the Pope has changed. There, she found the real Pope's corpse, which has been dead for over 10 years. Shaina deduces that the one in the chambers is the one who killed the real Pope. Meanwhile, the imposter plans to steal the scepter and shield in order to be superior to Zeus, Poseidon and Hades themselves. Suddenly, the Gemini Gold Cloth covers him, revealing him to be the Gemini Gold Saint. The imposter uses Another Dimension on Seiya, but something keeps him from doing it. Instead, he takes away Seiya's sense of taste. | ||||

Seiya burns his Cosmos brighter than before and attacks Saga with his Meteor of Pegasus. The attack accelerates and knocks Gemini down. Seiya heads to the Temple of Athena, but Gemini attacks him again. Seiya uses the Pegasus Rolling Crash against Gemini, but it isn't sufficient as Seiya's strength is running out. Gemini is about to deal the fatal blow, when the face of Justice on his helmet begins to cry. Gemini claims that he will save the world from being invaded by the gods and crush whoever stands in his way. Suddenly, Ikki appears to face Gemini, ready to fight for his departed friends and brother. Seiya, still weakened, heads to the Temple while Ikki keeps Gemini busy. Just then, he hears the voices of Shun, Shiryu and Hyoga through his Cosmos, urging him to continue. He finally reaches the statue and shield of Athena.

| In Asgard, a land filled with snow in Northern Europe, a woman known as Polaris Hilda, representative of the Norse God Odin, prays to preserve the peace in her land. Suddenly, a mysterious force speaks to her, urging her to destroy the Sanctuary. Hilda refuses, so she is swept away by the force. When she recovers, a strange ring is on her finger, and she calls upon the God Robes of the Asgard God Warriors. Seven warriors are granted these sacred Robes: Siegfried is granted the Dubhe God Robe Robe of the Alpha star, Hägen is granted the Merak God Robe of the Beta star, Thor is granted the Phecda God Robe of the Gamma star, Alberich is granted the Megrez God Robe of the Delta star, Fenrir is granted the Alioth God Robe of the Epsilon star, Syd is granted the Mizar God Robe of the Zeta star, and Mime is granted the Benetnasch God Robe of the Eta star. All seven God Warriors gather ready to serve Hilda. Syd is sent to the Sanctuary and defeats Taurus Aldebaran with one blow. Syd then arrives in Japan, and his target is Saori. He defeats Jabu, Nachi, Ban, Geki and Ichi easily. As Syd is about to attack Saori, Shun arrives with his new Andromeda Cloth and restrains Syd. Seiya arrives with his new Pegasus Cloth immediately afterwards, dealing a kick which takes Syd by surprise and sends him crashing to the ground. When Syd retaliates with his Viking Tiger Claw, Seiya and Shun realize that he is just as strong as the Gold Saints. Saori is confused because Hilda is a peaceful person and Syd reveals that Hilda will take over the Sanctuary. Shun is next to fight, but is distracted and defeated. Ikki comes to his rescue, with his new Phoenix Cloth. Seiya comes back to redeem himself and is able to strike Syd with his Meteor of Pegasus. However, he was injured by Syd's Viking Tiger Claw. Saori stops Seiya from fighting, just as Shiryu and Hyoga arrive with their new Dragon and Cygnus Cloths. Syd, acknowledging the fact that he must defeat the five Bronze Saints in order to kill Athena, retreats for now. Saori and her Saints plan their strategy and head to Asgard. | ||||

| In Asgard, Hyoga is escaping with a young girl named Freya, Hilda's younger sister. Asgard soldiers trap Hyoga and try to convince Freya to come back to her sister, but she refuses, hoping that Athena will save her sister. Hyoga defeats the soldiers. Then, Saori appears before Hyoga and Freya. Seiya, Shun and Kiki arrive, and Freya explains that Hilda is not acting like herself. The worst part is, the world is now in danger. Hilda was praying to stop the Polar ice caps from melting, but since Hilda stopped praying, the ice caps are melting and will flood the Earth. Hilda and her God Warriors suddenly appear before them. Saori notices the ring on Hilda's finger. The ring is known as the Nibelung Ring, which turns its wearer evil. The Bronze Saints set out to reach the Valhalla Palace and remove the ring from Hilda's finger in order to bring Hilda back to normal. Saori decides to stop the Polar ice caps from melting, but with her power, she can only contain the caps for 12 hours, before the sun sets.

| Seiya, Hyoga and Shun rush to find the Valhalla Palace, which is farther away, but the giant God Warrior Thor stands in their way. Shun and Hyoga attack, but are useless against him as he easily breaks free from Hyoga's ice and knocks down Shun with his Cosmo. Seiya decides to distract Thor, allowing Shun and Hyoga to move forward. Seiya stops Thor's Mjolnir Hammer technique with his Meteor of Pegasus, but Thor simply changed their direction towards Shun and Hyoga, knocking them out cold. Seiya, now alone, manages to evade Thor's Mjolnir Hammer, but before he is able to counterattack, Thor's Titanic Hercules technique takes him out. Seiya is able to get up again and attacks with his Meteor of Pegasus, but Thor is able to block them and attacks again. As he lays in the snow, Seiya tries to figure out how to defeat Thor. Marin reminds him of the battle of the 12 Houses and how he was able to overcome the difficulties to save Athena. She says he has matured and has nothing left to teach him. Seiya remembers what he learned when he fought Taurus Aldebaran and Leo Aiolia, and how desperate he was to save Saori back then. He gets up, ready to fight once more. As Thor attacks again, Seiya tries to see the light speed attack and manages to stop it. He then sends Thor flying and crashing to the ground. Seiya then strikes with the Meteor of Pegasus and buries Thor in the snow. However, Thor gets up again, showing off a stronger Cosmo full of hatred. He explains how difficult life has been for the people of Asgard, and hopes that Hilda will lead the people to take control of the Sanctuary and the world. Seiya tries to explain that Hilda is possessed, but Thor ignores him and strikes with his Titanic Hercules, empowered by his strengthened Cosmo. | ||||

| Thor strikes, with Seiya falling down an icy cliff, and even then, the attacks against Seiya continue. However, he is rescued by Shiryu, who has come from the Five Ancient Peaks of Lushan and brought information from Roshi. The master reveals that to remove the Nibelung Ring, one must have the legendary sword Balmung. To retrieve the sword, the seven Odin Sapphires, the seven God Warriors' guardian stones, must be gathered after defeating them. Shiryu goes to wake up Hyoga and Shun while Seiya distracts Thor, but Seiya is knocked down again. Saori's Cosmos burns brightly and Seiya gets up to fight Thor. As the three Saints continue, Thor stands in their way, but Seiya comes back and executes a powerful Meteor of Pegasus which sends the giant crashing into a wall of ice. Saori's Cosmos reminds Thor of when he first met Hilda. Thor used to hunt in the forests near the Valhalla Palace and gave the hunted prey to the poor people of Asgard. As he was hunted by the soldiers, Hilda arrived, apologized to Thor, since he was able to do something she couldn't, and his wound was healed by Hilda's gentle Cosmos. Since Hilda's personality has completely changed, Thor has doubts about her intentions, but he ignores it and continues to fight. After Seiya is able to block Thor's attack, both use their techniques again and clash, with Seiya earning the victory. Thor asks Seiya to restore Hilda to the way she was before, and falls to the ground, dead. Seiya picks up the first Odin Sapphire. The four Bronze Saints decide to split up to defeat the other God Warriors and reach the Valhalla Palace. | ||||

| While Saori tries to keep the polar caps from melting, Kiki and Freya stayed behind to look after her. The Bronze Saints head for different paths. While Shiryu looks for his next opponent, Capricorn Shura's spirit reminds him to protect Athena. It is revealed that when Shiryu used his Final Dragon, Shura loaned his Gold Cloth to him and pushed him back to Earth, with his last words telling him to live on and to protect Athena. At the Valhalla Palace, Siegfried tells Hilda he is confident about his strategy to defeat the Bronze Saints. At a frozen waterfall, Shiryu is suddenly attacked by a pack of wolves, sent by the God Warrior, Alioth Fenrir of the Epsilon star. However, he defeats them with his Rising Dragon. Enraged, Fenrir goes to fight Shiryu, fully confident that he will win. After attacking Shiryu multiple times with his Wolf Cruelty Claw, Fenrir slashes Shiryu's eyes, almost blinding him.

| Shiryu seems to be no match against Fenrir's ruthless attacks. His friends sense he is in danger, but are confident they will make it to the Valhalla Palace. Meanwhile, Hyoga is followed by another God Warrior. Remembering Shura's sacrifice, Shiryu gets up again, and tries to convince Fenrir that Hilda is possessed, needing the Odin Sapphire to save her and to trust him. Fenrir, however, doesn't believe in people and only trusts his wolves. He then tells Shiryu the reason of his mistrust. Years ago, when Fenrir was six years old, he was part of a distinguished family. One day, he, his parents and their friends rode their horses through the woods. Suddenly, a huge bear slashed Fenrir's mother, killing her. As his father tried fighting off the bear, their friends abandoned them and ran off. Fenrir's father was also killed. Just then, a pack of wolves came to his rescue. From that day on, he was raised by those wolves and cared for them deeply. Later, Fenrir became the Alioth God Warrior and swore loyalty to Hilda. Shiryu is struck down again and almost eaten by the wolves, but Saori's Cosmos weaken the wolves and revitalizes Shiryu. Both warriors face off once again, with Fenrir's Wolf Cruelty Claw easily overpowering Shiryu Rising Dragon. | ||||

| Shiryu fights back, stating that he believes in his friends and will fight for his beliefs as both warriors clash again. Fenrir keeps fighting for Hilda's sake and backs Shiryu into a corner. The Rising Dragon is useless to Fenrir and Shiryu has seen through his techniques as well. Shiryu gets an idea and uses the Rising Dragon against the frozen waterfall, causing a massive avalanche, with both him and Fenrir caught up in it. The avalanche ends, and the wolves desperately look for Fenrir while Shiryu emerges from the debris. The wolves find Fenrir, but he has died, with the pack howling at the sky. Shiryu retrieves the Odin Sapphire, and hopes that Fenrir will be born again, with friends and more faith in humanity. As he walks away, the wolves attack Shiryu and they fall down into an ice cavern. The wolves die and Shiryu falls unconscious. Meanwhile, Hyoga encounters the God Warrior Merak Hägen, who is angry with him because he believes Freya was tricked by Hyoga. With his Diamond Dust useless against Hägen, Hyoga remembers his master Aquarius Camus' sacrifice for him to master the Absolute Zero and the Seventh Sense. Both warriors prepare to face off. | ||||

| Hägen unleashes the mighty technique Universe Freezing against Hyoga, but it is useless against him as he easily breaks free. Hyoga then tells Hägen that he let himself be captured by Asgard soldiers to discover what happened to Hilda. He was even severely beaten by Thor. But Freya came to Hyoga's cell and freed him, hoping that Athena and her Saints would help save her sister and Asgard. Hägen refuses to listen and attacks Hyoga with vicious assaults. Hägen remembers being Freya's closest friend during their childhood and one of Hilda's most loyal warriors. Hyoga attacks with the Aurora Thunder Attack, but Hägen attack retaliates with Great Ardent Pressure, a fire technique which easily renders Hyoga's attack useless. Hägen then goes into a cave. Hyoga follows, sensing a lot of heat and encounters a massive river of lava, the only warm place in Asgard. Hägen confronts Hyoga once more, but Since Hyoga was raised in Siberia, he is unable to handle the massive heat. As Hägen attacks Hyoga, Kiki senses the battle and informs Freya who heads off to stop the fighting. | ||||
| 082 | 'Dancing Swan! Scorching Hell in the Ice' Transcription: 'Mae hakuchō! Hyōchū no shakunetsu jigoku' (Japanese: 舞え白鳥! 氷中の灼熱地獄) | 10.1 | June 18, 1988 | |
| Hyoga is confused as to why Hägen can withstand the heat. Hägen received his God Robe in that place and has trained there since childhood, mastering both ice and fire techniques. As Hyoga tried to see through Hägen's technique, he is continuously overpowered and knocked down, but still manage to stand up and asks for the Odin Sapphire. Both attack each other again, but Hyoga falls unconscious. Just as Hägen is about to throw Hyoga into the lava, Freya arrives and tries to tell him about Hilda and the Nibelung Ring. However, Hägen still believes Freya is being manipulated. Hägen is about to attack, but Freya stands in his way, refusing to move. He reluctantly launches his technique, but Hyoga saves her in time. Hägen and Hyoga attack once again with Great Ardent Pressure and Aurora Execution, but Hyoga awakens the Seventh Sense and overpowers Hägen, killing him. Kiki arrives as Freya mourns Hägen's death, and Hyoga mentions that this is a sorrowful battle they are forced to fight. | ||||

| After making a grave for Hägen, Hyoga has Kiki take care of Freya and heads for the Valhalla Palace. Hilda, angered that three of her God Warriors have died, is confident she can still win since most of the Bronze Saints are injured. After Seiya falls off a cliff, he remembers how the Gold Saints Aiolia, Milo, Aldebaran, Shaka and Mu gave up a portion of their blood in order to revive their five Bronze Cloths, which explains their new appearances. The Gold Saints made this sacrifice as a sign of gratitude to the Bronze Saints for rescuing Athena. Seiya climbs back up the cliff and reminds himself to not give up. Meanwhile, Shun remembers the victims at the Battle of the 12 Houses, wondering how long the needless sacrifices will continue. He then encounters the fourth God Warrior, Benetnasch Mime. Shun attacks with his Nebula Chain, but he cannot sense any threat from Mime, which leaves his chain useless to attack with. However, despite not showing any threat, Mime easily breaks through Shun's defenses with an attack at the speed of light. Shun is then questioned by Mime, asking him why he fights, and makes him realize peace will never come, no matter how many opponents he defeats. Suddenly, Ikki speaks to Shun and tells him to believe in their future and never give up. Renewed with vigor, Shun prepares to fight back against Mime. | ||||
| 084 | 'Decree of Death! String Requiem' Transcription: 'Shi no senkoku! Sutoringā rekuiemu' (Japanese: 死の宣告! ストリンガー葬送曲) | 8.9 | July 2, 1988 | |
| Shun still struggles against Mime's abilities and illusions. He then removes his Cloth and chains. While talking to Mime, Shun realizes he's not fighting for Hilda and also dislikes fighting. Shun awakens the Seventh Sense and uses the Nebula Stream to immobilize Mime. Finally, he unleashes the Nebula Storm in order to defeat him. Unfortunately, Mime survives thanks to his harp. He then envelopes Shun with the strings on his harp, preparing for his final attack, Stringer Requiem. As Mime plays his music preparing to kill Shun, the chains still cannot sense any hatred. Before Mime's attack kills Shun, Ikki arrives in time to save him. Briefly hearing from Shun that they must defeat the God Warriors and retrieve their Odin Sapphires, Ikki prepares to fight Mime in Shun's stead. | ||||
| 085 | 'Hero's Grief! Frozen Hatred' Transcription: 'Kanashimi no yūsha! Itetsuita zōo' (Japanese: 哀しみの勇者! 凍てついた憎悪) | 8.2 | July 9, 1988 | |
| Ikki is able to miraculously dodge Mime's lightspeed attack due to his battle against Saga, and also manages to see through his illusion technique. While Ikki is fighting, he senses something in Mime's mind. Ikki tells Mime that he used to hate his destiny and it was because of his friendship with Seiya and the Saints that he found a reason for fighting. Even though Mime gains the upper hand, Ikki cannot sense any hatred within him either. Mime reveals his childhood past. He was trained by his father Folker, a mighty warrior of Asgard, respected by all, who forced him to train. One day, Mime found a locket with a picture of him as a baby and his real parents. Folker reveals that he killed them. When Asgard was at war with a neighboring country, he killed Mime's father and mother, and took Mime to raise him as his own. As Mime mourns his family, Folker mocks him, causing Mime to kill him in one blow. Since then, he has deposited his hatred in his techniques. Ikki uses his Phoenix Illusion, allowing Mime to see his true memories, hidden long ago. When Folker died, he begged forgiveness for what happened. Folker actually let Mime's father go, but he foolishly struck back. Folker counterattacked, but he accidentally killed both him and his mother. After making a grave for them, Folker raised Mime and cared for him. Even though Mime hated him for what happened, he still loved Folker as his father. Now filled with rage, Mime's hatred is brought to the surface, ready to destroy Ikki. | ||||

| Ikki tells Mime that he hates himself for killing his father and should make up for his crime by saving Asgard from Hilda's wrath. Mime then remembers how Folker trained him, because he knew that he would be chosen as a God Warrior to protect Asgard. As Mime attacks, Ikki is able to counter, but both seem evenly matched. Suddenly, Mime uses his Stringer Requiem and Ikki is trapped while Mime plays his music, preparing to kill him. Shun tries to stop him, but Ikki tells him to pull back, saying he will defeat Mime. Ikki burns his Cosmos to the Seventh Sense and frees himself, destroying his Cloth in the process. He is able to strike Mime and knock him down with his Rising Phoenix, destroying his harp. Ikki tells him that he believes in a future where he and his friends will live in peace and is willing to fight for it. Mime, willing to believe in what Ikki said, removes his God Robe and faces Ikki one last time, to see if what he said is true. Both warriors strike each other, with Mime losing his life, but not before telling Ikki that is he were to be reborn, he would want to be friends with Ikki in a peaceful world. As he dies, Mime apologizes to his father, and entrusts Ikki and Shun with Asgard's future.

The Saint is revealed to be Eagle Marin. Alberich reveals to Marin that they are in the area of his 'collection' of victims, skeletal warriors trapped in an amethyst casing. Marin knocks down Alberich, but he cheats by spraying acid in her face. Seiya senses that Marin is in danger and rushes to her aid. Marin attacks with her Eagle Toe Flash twice, but it is useless. Alberich unleashes his technique Amethyst Shield, encasing Marin in an amethyst coffin. Seiya finally finds Alberich and attacks him. As he tries to trick Seiya, Alberich is knocked down again by Seiya's Meteor of Pegasus and the Pegasus Rolling Crash. Seiya then sees Marin trapped, and Alberich reveals her lifeforce will be absorbed by the amethyst until she is nothing but bones.

Alberich leads Hyoga deeper into the forest where he unveils a secret technique handed down from his ancestors, Nature Unity, where the spirits of the forest come alive and attack the enemy.

However, Alberich does whatever he can to distract Shiryu's concentration. Alberich remembers that his family was left with the task of protecting the Odin representative on Earth, but since Hilda uncovered the God Robes, the Odin Sapphires were uncovered as well. He then reveals to Shiryu his plan for world domination. Angry that Alberich is willing to betray his comrades, Shiryu swears to save Hilda, Athena and Asgard. As he struggles against Alberich, Shiryu decides to remove his Cloth and shield in order to counterattack, since he has seen through the Amethyst Shield long ago. Risking his life, Shiryu kills Alberich with his Rising Dragon. Due to Alberich's death, the Amethyst Shields disintegrate, freeing Marin and Seiya.

Seiya and Hyoga arrive, but just as Seiya challenges Syd again, Shun has him and Hyoga go forward while he fights the God Warrior by himself, promising to catch up later. While both of them run past Syd, a mysterious figure sees them. Shun attacks with his Nebula Chain, but is useless against Syd's cold air. Outside, Shaina arrives and finds Marin. She then tells Shaina about how Aldebaran was defeated. He survived, but revealed to Marin what happened in the battle. Aldebaran and Syd were evenly matched, but he felt a powerful attack from behind, which defeated him. Marin went to Asgard to warn Seiya, but encountered Kiki and Freya. Freya revealed that the Mizar God Warrior has a deadly shadow, because Zeta has twin stars, Mizar and Alcor. She then sends Shaina to find Seiya and warn him about Syd. Shun does his best to strike back, since the Gold Saints revived his Cloth and chains. As Seiya and Hyoga go farther into the palace to find Hilda, someone blocks their past and they are taken down by a strong current of cold air. Shun is taken down after receiving Syd's Viking Tiger Claw, and the same mysterious figure from before is observing the battle. | ||||

| As Shun gets up, Syd reveals Seiya and Hyoga will die soon due to the cold air in the palace. Shun struggles to defeat Syd in order to rescue his friends, but his chains are ineffective. Syd unleashes his ultimate technique, Blue Impulse, against Shun, tossing him in the air and crashing to the ground. Meanwhile, Shaina is on her way to the Valhalla Palace. As Shun is out cold, Ikki speaks to him, urging him not to abandon his friends or Athena and reminding him of when he unleashed his true power in the Battle of the 12 Houses. Shun also remembers the Gold Saints' sacrifice and removes his Cloth and chains to unleash the Nebula Stream. The stream opens up a hole in the roof, letting all the cold air out. Syd attacks with his Blue Impulse, but Shun awakens his Seventh Sense and counters with the Nebula Storm, killing Syd. However, while Shun attacked, someone tried to attack him, and Shaina took the blow instead. Shun retrieves the Odin Sapphire and Shaina tells him to go. The mysterious man emerges from the shadows, stopping Shun. The man who attacked Shun is revealed to be the God Warrior, Alcor Bud, Syd's shadow. He also revealed that he was the one who defeated Taurus Aldebaran and attacked him from behind. Bud demands Syd and Mime's Odin Sapphires, so Shaina stands up to face him. Siegfried is surprised about Syd's shadow, but Hilda knew this whole time. Shaina is no match for Bud and is quickly defeated. Bud unleashes his Shadow Viking Tiger Claw and almost defeats both Shun and Shaina, but Ikki arrives in time to save them. | ||||

| Ikki arrives after his battle with Mime, determined not to abandon his brother. Bud, angered at the fraternal bond between Shun and Ikki, begins to attack, saying that compassion is useless. Ikki miraculously blocks Bud's lightspeed attack before they clash, whereupon Bud's helmet is knocked off, and his face is exactly like Syd's. Bud reveals that Syd is his younger twin brother. Ikki confronts him about not helping his brother, and Bud responds that if Syd dies, he will become the true God Warrior of Zeta, and no longer be a shadow. Ikki attacks, but Bud easily avoids his technique, because he was observing his battle with Mime. Ikki goes down and Bud keeps attacking him, while Shun struggles to help his brother. While fighting, Bud reveals that on the day he and Syd were born, his parents had to pick one to keep, because in Asgard, twins were hated. It was believed that twins would destroy a family. Syd and Bud's father reluctantly abandoned the infant Bud in a forest, where a villager found him and raised him, while Syd was lucky enough to stay with his family. Years later, while hunting, Bud encountered his brother Syd without realizing it, until he noticed that they both had the same family daggers. As Syd left with his family, Bud put it all together and realized who Syd was. Enraged, Bud decided he would be superior to Syd. Later on, he was chosen as a God Warrior, but was still Syd's shadow. Hilda tells Bud that he must stay hidden, but if Syd dies, Bud would become the God Warrior of Zeta. Ikki, feeling sorry for Bud, gets up, and for his brother's sake, swears to win the battle. | ||||

| It seems Ikki is no match for Bud. Shun and Ikki try to attack together, but are both knocked down by Bud. Ikki then uses his Phoenix Illusion against Bud. In his mind, Bud defeats Syd, but for some reason, he can't give him the death blow. Ikki confronts Bud about trying to help out Syd during his battle with Shun, even though he claimed he wanted Syd dead. Ikki and Bud clash again, with Ikki coming out on top after awakening his Seventh Sense. Suddenly, Syd sneaks up on Ikki and holds him so that Bud can defeat him. Even though Bud is concerned, Syd tells him he's dying anyway so he doesn't need to worry. Ikki asks Syd if he knew about his brother all along. Syd confirms this by saying that him and their parents never stopped caring about him. Syd was also willing for his brother to be a God Warrior. Ikki tells Bud that he will not stop Bud's attack, but something holds him back. Syd dies at that very moment, and Bud realizes what was holding him back, was the love he had for his brother. Ikki explains that even though brothers can sometimes hate or kill one other, they never forget when they cared about each other. Bud leaves, with Syd in his arms, believing in the world Ikki fights for, a world where brothers who are separated, can reunite and live happily. Earlier, Hyoga used all of his power to make a path for Seiya to continue. Seiya gets up and Hyoga tells him to keep going. Shun and Ikki move forward, to fight the last God Warrior. Bud heads out into the blizzard with his brother, hoping they will be reborn in a home with no conflict. | ||||

| Kiki tries to stop Freya from going to Saori's side, who is getting weaker by the minute. She realizes that even though Siegfried is the last God Warrior, Siegfried is reincarnated from a warrior with the same name, who became immortal after defeating a dragon and bathing in its blood. Shun and Ikki take Hyoga with them further into the palace. Seiya reaches the Odin statue, but Dubhe Siegfried stands in his way, not willing to show any mercy. Siegfried easily dodges Seiya's attacks and defeats him with his Odin Sword technique. Hyoga, Shun and Ikki arrive while Kiki and Freya watch Saori getting weaker by the minute. Meanwhile, in the forest, Shiryu gets up to join his friends. Ikki faces Siegfried by himself, but is no match for him. Hyoga and Shun are also defeated. Siegfried mourns his friend Hägen and remembers that he must always protect Hilda and Asgard. Seiya gets up, ready to fight the God Warrior again. Siegfried starts to have doubts about why he's fighting due to Seiya telling him about Hilda being possessed. Just then, as Shaina and Shiryu arrive, Siegfried unleashes his most powerful attack, Dragon Bravest Blizzard, and as Shaina goes to protect Seiya, they both take the hit. | ||||

| Shiryu faces Siegfried on his own, despite not wearing his Dragon Cloth. No matter what technique Shiryu uses, Siegfried is unscathed, making him wonder if he's really immortal, just like the legend. Back at the caps, Saori can't hold on anymore. Shiryu is struck by the Odin Sword technique and thinks about using the Final Dragon, like he did on Shura. He holds on to Siegfried and prepares the forbidden technique. Just then, Shura's spirit talks to Shiryu and tells him not to do it, otherwise not only will he not protect Athena, the Odin Sapphire would be destroyed as well. Siegfried gets loose and uses the Dragon Bravest Blizzard on Shiryu. He then remembers Roshi's lesson on a double-edge technique, and its weak point, which can not only hurt the opponent, but hurt the one who uses it. Shiryu tells Seiya to watch carefully and he burns his Cosmo to strike Siegfried at his weak point, his heart, just like Shiryu's weak point when Seiya first fought him. Siegfried from the legend also had the same weak point. After killing the dragon, Siegfried became immortal after bathing in its blood. However, a leaf fell on his back, just behind his heart. Later that day, he was hit on that spot by a spear, thrown by someone jealous of him. He died due to his weak point. Shiryu accomplished what he needed to do in order to show Seiya Siegfried's weak point, and faints. Seiya gets up for his friends to fight once more. Hilda waits by her throne, and is visited by someone working for the being who gave her the Nibelung Ring. Seiya has to strike Siegfried's heart at a 100,000th of a second in order to win. | ||||
| 097 | 'Siren! Beautiful Melody of Death' Transcription: 'Seirēn! Utsukushiki shi no shirabe' (Japanese: 海魔女! 美しき死の調べ) | 5.6 | October 29, 1988 | |
| Both warriors use their techniques, but Seiya is overpowered and falls to the ground, yet he was able to land several hits on Siegfried's heart. Saori, Shiryu and his friends deposit their Cosmo into Seiya, making Siegfried doubt is Hilda is right, or if Athena is true justice. Hilda suddenly arrives and attempts to finish off Seiya, but Siegfried stops her to confirm his doubts. They attack again, with Seiya's Meteors pushing back Siegfried's Dragon Bravest Blizzard and attacking his heart. Seiya has finally won and goes to retrieve the Sapphire. But a man, playing a flute arrives and introduces himself as a Mariner General serving the God of the Sea Poseidon, Siren Sorrento. He has come from the Sanctuary of the Sea, under Poseidon's orders to take Hilda with him. Sorrento reveals that Poseidon took control of Hilda with the Nibelung Ring, in order to control the world ruled by Athena and kill her. Seiya tries to stop Sorrento, but his music is affecting his mind, leaving him vulnerable for an attack. Siegfried, now realizing the truth and Seiya being right, he hands over the final Odin Sapphire to him. He then goes to fight Sorrento, using the last of his strength. Sorrento plays his flute, with his Dead End Symphony, which is similar to the Siren of Greek Mythology that lures sailors with its music to devour them. Siegfried covers his ears and destroys his eardrums to stop hearing the music, but its useless since it goes directly to the brain. Even though Siegfried is attacked, he still goes to fight Sorrento and holds onto him. Using his last bit of strength, Siegfried takes Sorrento, rising to the sky, sacrificing himself to kill the General. He entrusts Asgard and Hilda to Seiya, who swears his death will not be in vain. With all seven Odin Sapphires in hand, Seiya must now face Hilda in order to save Athena. | ||||

| With her evil power, Hilda tries to kill Seiya. Shiryu, Hyoga, Shun and Ikki struggle to help their friend. Saori's Cosmos won't last much longer. Seiya fights back, but can't kill Hilda, otherwise Asgard and the world would be lost. Hilda attacks and Seiya falls down a cliff. As Seiya is about to give up, Saga's spirit calls out to him, reminding him of their battle and how he awakened the Seventh Sense to defeat him and save Athena. Saga also reminds Seiya that he will win as long as he has hope, entrusting him with Athena. Seiya climbs back up and heads for Odin's statue. Hilda attacks again, but Hyoga and the others use themselves as shields to protect Seiya. With his friends defeated, Seiya reaches the statue, but doesn't receive a response. Hilda attacks Seiya again, believing she has won. The Odin Sapphires suddenly rise up and place themselves on Odin's crown. Seiya is miraculously saved and the legendary Odin Robe appears, complete with the legendary sword Balmung. The Pegasus Cloth comes off his body to make room for the Odin Robe. Hilda attacks with the Nibelung Ring, but as Seiya is about to deal the death blow, he stops. She is innocent and under Poseidon's control, so he can't kill her. Hilda takes the opportunity to attack and Seiya is down. Odin suddenly speaks to Seiya through his Cosmos and tells him to move forward and protect Asgard. With newfound strength and belief, Seiya strikes Hilda with the Balmung sword. | ||||
| 099 | 'Athena! Eternal Prayer of Noble Spirits' Transcription: 'Atena yo! Kedakaki eien no inori' (Japanese: アテナよ! 気高き永遠の祈り) | 6.4 | November 12, 1988 | |
| Seiya is victorious and the Nibelung Ring is finally destroyed. The Odin Robe removes itself from Seiya's body, completing its mission. However, Hilda is down, and bleeding. Seiya fears he has killed her, and Saori is down as well, exhausted from using all of her Cosmo. Asgard begins to crumble and the flood seems imminent. As the flood continues, the corpses of the God Warriors (including Bud, who succumbed to his wounds) are shown. Seiya's friends regain consciousness and so does Hilda. She then takes the Balmung sword and prays for everything to be returned to normal, while Seiya, Shaina, Marin and their friends head towards Athena. Freya is able to feel her sister's Cosmos as she prays. Hilda begs forgiveness, as she was able to see how Athena and her Saints suffered and how her God Warriors died while under Poseidon's control and couldn't do anything to stop it. The flooding stops and Saori's Cosmo returns to her, waking up, much to everyone's relief. Hilda comes down to apologize to everyone and reunites with her sister Freya. Saori asks her to be strong and learn from her mistakes in order to protect Asgard. Things seem to be back to normal, but a tidal wave hits everyone. When they wake up, they see Saori is missing. Saori is unconscious, in the arms of Poseidon. | ||||

| There is pouring rain and floods in all parts of the globe. Tatsumi, Jabu and the other Saints are aware of the panic around the world and wonder what is happening. In Asgard, Seiya and Shun return to Hilda and Freya, with no trace of Saori's whereabouts, but they do believe Poseidon has taken her to the underwater Sanctuary. Saori awakens and encounters Poseidon, but she recognises him as Julian Solo. She first met him during his 16th birthday party. Julian Solo's family is one of the wealthiest sea merchants in the world and he is the heir. When he met Saori, he proposed marriage to her, but she respectfully declined. Julian was chosen as Poseidon's reincarnation and vessel. Poseidon tells her that the rain will continue for 30 days, and the water will remain for 150 days, killing all of humanity, but spared Saori, since he is still in love with her. He offer Saori the chance to rule beside him, but once again she rejects him. Saori is willing to sacrifice herself, and hopes her Saints will arrive to crush Poseidon's ambition. Back in Asgard, Hilda and Freya discover ancient texts that reveal a path to Poseidon's Sanctuary. The path is a giant whirlpool, and Seiya and Shun are sucked in. They arrive at the underwater Sanctuary, and there's no water since the water is held up above them. Suddenly, Mermaid Thetis, a Mariner working for Poseidon appears. Seiya and Shun chase after her, trying to see if she knows where Saori is. Thetis tries to trap them using her Coral Trap to encase them in coral, but Seiya destroys it. Just then, the Mariner General, Sea Dragon, appears and easily defeats the Saints with one strike. | ||||

| Seiya and Shun recover and defeat the Mariners who have arrived. Meanwhile, Poseidon takes Saori to a place where she will give humanity a chance to live, by sacrificing her life. He explains that the underwater Sanctuary has Mammoth Pillars that hold up the seven seas: the North Pacific, South Pacific, North Atlantic, South Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Antarctic Oceans. The Mammoth Pillar holding up the sea in its entirety is the Main breadwinner. If it is destroyed, the underwater Sanctuary will be no more. The water that is raining down on the Earth, now falls upon Saori while locked inside the Main Breadwinner, flooding the room inside, drowning her, giving humanity a chance. Also, the seven Mammoth Pillars are being protected by the Mariner Generals, Poseidon's high ranking warriors said to be as powerful as the Gold Saints. Sea Dragon leaves and Thetis tells Seiya and Shun about Saori and the Mammoth Pillars. Saori will die when the room inside the Main Breadwinner is filled with water. The only way to destroy the Main Breadwinner is to destroy the other seven Mammoth Pillars and defeating the seven Mariner Generals. With their mission clear, Seiya and Shun head for the Pacific Oceans. At Lushan, Kiki takes Shiryu back to Asgard to reach Poseidon's Sanctuary. Even though Shunrei is sad about Shiryu leaving, Roshi explains that it is his and the Saints' destiny to save the world. After defeating more Mariners, Seiya reaches the North Pacific Mammoth Pillar. He launches a Comet of Pegasus to destroy the Pillar, but it's blocked by the Mariner General, Seahorse Baian. Hyoga returns to Asgard and dives into the whirlpool towards Poseidon's Sanctuary. Seiya's Meteor of Pegasus is blocked by an invisible wall created by Baian. He is then sent flying by Baian's God Breath. | ||||

| Seiya was attacked twice by Baian's God Breath, and is still able to stand. Baian uses his most powerful attack, Rising Billows, which sends Seiya all the way to the surface of the Pacific Ocean. Shiryu and Kiki arrive in Asgard and dive into the whirlpool. Seiya was able to return to the battlefield, determined to win. As he attacks with his Meteors again, Seiya is able to break through Baian's defensive wall. Shun arrives at the South Pacific Mammoth Pillar and sees a mysterious woman, but she transforms into a demon. It attacks, but Shun is able to defend himself with the Roling Defense. Being taunted by the guardian of the Pillar, Shun is confronted by the Mariner General, Scylla Io. Back at the North Pacific Pillar, Seiya's Pegasus Cloth started to shine like a Gold Cloth for a moment. Seiya explains that it was the Gold Saints' blood, which revived the Bronze Cloth, that turned it gold. Grateful for what the Gold Saints gave him, Seiya attacks again. Meanwhile, Thetis stands in Shiryu's way, but Kiki distracts her with his telekinesis while Shiryu leaves, unfortunately he is no match for the mermaid. Baian is confused as to why Seiya's attacks reached him, but Seiya explains that he was able to attack him because Lizard Misty, the first Silver Saint he ever fought, used a similar defensive wall and saw through it. Baian's Seahorse Scales were cracked due to Seiya's Meteors. Baian attacks again, but his techniques are now useless against him. Seiya burns his Cosmo to the Seventh Sense and his Pegasus Cloth turns gold again. With a mighty Comet of Pegasus, Seiya finally kills Baian. Shiryu and Hyoga arrive and Seiya explains the situation to them. They then head off to different pillars while Seiya stays behind to destroy the North Pacific Mammoth Pillar. | ||||

| With his dying breath, Baian tells Seiya he will never be able to destroy the pillar. Seiya's Comet and Meteor of Pegasus are useless and fail to even make a scratch. Meanwhile, Kiki is saved by Ophiucius Shaina who brought the Libra Gold Cloth with her, under Roshi's orders. Seiya plans on destroying the pillar using his own body, but Kiki stops him and brings the Gold Cloth to him. Meanwhile, Shaina stayed behind to fight Thetis. The Golden Shield flies to Seiya's hands, and he uses it to finally destroy the North Pacific Mammoth Pillar with a mighty throw. As the pillar is destroyed, the Sanctuary shakes and it appears as though the sea is coming down. The Saints and Thetis sense the pillar is destroyed as well. Hyoga and Shiryu split up to go to different pillars. Seiya tells Kiki to find Shun and give him the Libra Cloth. Meanwhile, back at the South Pacific Ocean, Shun remembers the legend of Scylla, which turns into six horrible beasts (eagle, wolf, queen bee, serpent, bat and bear) and when a ship sailed near its lair, six sailors would meet their doom. Io starts his assault with his first attack, Eagle Clutch and breaks Shun's defense. Then, he uses Wolf's Fang, Queen Bee's Stinger, and Serpent Strangler, which severely injure Shun. Next is Vampire Inhale, making Shun lose a lot of blood. Finally, Io unleashes the strongest attack, Grizzly Slap. However, he didn't attack full force in order for Shun to choose the attack that will kill him. As Io uses Queen's Bee Stinger, Shun counters with his chain turning into a Spider Net, allowing him to destroy the queen bee. | ||||

| Io attacks with Eagle Clutch, but Shun counters with a Casting Net and destroys the eagle. Shun doesn't want to fight, but Io continues with Serpent Strangler. Shun finishes it off with Spiral Duct. Poseidon talks to Saori about the night they met. Julian went to Cape Sounion and found Poseidon's Trident. Thetis appeared and told him Poseidon reincarnated in him and took him to Poseidon's Sanctuary to rule. Poseidon's Scales covered Julian and has ruled the oceans since that day, willing to destroy humanity for contaminating the planet the gods bestowed upon them. However, Saori still has faith in her Saints. Io attacks with Vampire Inhale, but Shun counters with Boomerang Shot. Io continues with his Wolf's Fang, so Shun destroys it with Wild Trap. Finally, Io uses Grizzly Slap, but Shun finishes it with Great Capture, breaking the Scylla Scale. Shun now focuses on destroying the South Pacific Mammoth Pillar, but it doesn't work. Io gets free and attacks with his Big Tornado. Shiryu reaches the Indian Ocean Mammoth Pillar and faces Chrysaor Krishna and his Golden Lance. Shun recovers and keeps trying to destroy the pillar, much to Io's shock. As Io prepares to kill Shun, he awakens his Seventh Sense, splits the Big Tornado and captures Io again. This time, however, Shun's Andromeda Cloth turns gold. | ||||

| Shun realizes the Gold Saints' blood caused the miracle, but Io assures the pillar will never be destroyed, not even the Gold Saints can do it. Shun decides to sacrifice his life to try to destroy the pillar. While Seiya and Hyoga try to find the next pillars, Kiki gets to Shun in time and Libra's Twin Rod flies to Shun's hand. Shun destroys the Mammoth Pillar, but Io sacrifices himself to save it, but to no avail. The South Pacific Mammoth Pillar is destroyed. As Io dies, he tells Shun that he must not have compassion for the enemy, or he will lose his life as well. Shiryu continues his battle with Chrysaor Krishna at the Indian Ocean Mammoth Pillar, struggling to dodge the Golden Lance. Shiryu challenges Krishna's Lance with his own Dragon Shield. Unfortunately, the Lance goes through the shield and Shiryu's body. Shiryu keeps the Lance in his body in an attempt to break it, but it doesn't work. When hope seems lost, Capricorn Shura's spirit talks to Shiryu and reveals something when he saved his life. Shura gave power to Shiryu's right arm, allowing him to use the legendary sword, Excalibur. Shiryu gets up and faces Krishna again. Both weapons clash, but the shield stops the lance. Shiryu's shield and Dragon Cloth turn gold and Shiryu tries to use Excalibur, but it doesn't work. Krishna believes Shiryu depends too much on his Cloth, so he removes it, risking his life to awaken Excalibur. Finally, Shiryu corners Krishna and cuts the Golden Lance with Excalibur, along with the Chrysaor Scales. Shiryu asks Krishna to stand down, but he suddenly levitates in the air, unleashing a more powerful Cosmo. | ||||

| Krishna's Cosmo is keeping Shiryu from reaching the pillar. Not even the Rising Dragon can break through it. Krishna explains that his Cosmo, known as Chakra, is formed by seven vital points. Unless Shiryu destroys those points, the barrier won't be broken. Krishna then uses his Maha Roshini, which leaves Shiryu blind. Shiryu burns his Cosmo to the Seventh Sense and sees the seven vital points. He then uses Excalibur to destroy the points, along with Krishna. Hyoga reaches the Antarctic Ocean Mammoth Pillar, but surprisingly, Aquarius Camus is waiting for him. Hyoga attacks him, knowing full well Camus died in the Battle of the 12 Houses. Camus blocks the attack, trying to prove he is who he is. He then uses Aurora Execution and Hyoga finally believes his master is alive. Kiki arrives at the Indian Ocean Mammoth Pillar. Meanwhile, Seiya also arrives at the Antarctic Pillar, and Marin is there, telling him to come back with him, which he finds strange, since she doesn't express her emotions. Marin reveals she is Seiya's sister, Seika and removes her mask to reveal the truth. She hugs him and Seiya hugs back, overjoyed to finally find his sister, but a sinister shadow appears. Shiryu uses the Libra Sword to destroy the Indian Ocean Pillar. Shun arrives at the Antarctic Pillar, and finds Seiya and Hyoga defeated, with one blow. Suddenly Ikki appears behind him and attacks him. | ||||
| 107 | 'Hunter of Hearts! Heartless Lymnades' Transcription: 'Kokoro no karyūdo! Ryumunadesu mujō' (Japanese: 心の狩人! リュムナデス無情) | 7.0 | January 21, 1989 | |
| Shun counters Ikki and wonders why he's attacking him. Ikki suddenly transforms and reveals his true identity, the Mariner General, Lymnades Caça. His ability is to read his enemies' minds and transform into someone they care about in order to kill them. Camus and Seika were also Caça's disguises and defeated Hyoga and Seiya with one blow after deceiving them. Shun attacks Caça for hurting his friends and deceiving their hearts. Caça is captured by the Nebula Chain, but he then transforms into Ikki again, since he knows Shun won't attack him. His theory is proven correct as Shun stops his chains from attacking. Caça changes back and strikes Shun with his Salamander Shock, but senses a powerful Cosmos heading towards him. Meanwhile, Shiryu tells Kiki to continue with the Libra Cloth. As Caça prepares to finish Shun, the powerful Cosmos strikes him, revealing to come from the real Phoenix Ikki. Caça is struck by the Phoenix Illusion and shows Ikki turning into Caça, and him refusing to fight himself. Taking revenge for his friends and brother, Ikki unleashes multiple attacks on Caça. After blocking the Salamander Shock, Ikki launches his Flying Phoenix and takes out Caça. The General then transforms into Shun, hoping to defeat Ikki. Not falling for the deception, Ikki strikes Caça in the heart, dealing him the death blow. Before dying however, he read Ikki's mind and encounters his memory of Ikki's lover, Esmeralda. She then kills Ikki, but is happy to be with her forever. However, this is what Caça would have done, if he found out about Esmeralda earlier. Kiki makes it to the Antarctic Pillar. Ikki stops the bleeding from his friends' wounds and uses the Libra Spear to destroy the Antarctic Ocean Mammoth Pillar. Ikki remembers about how strong love can make a person. He then decides to head for Poseidon's Temple, and leaves his friends behind. He also tells Kiki that if they live or die, is up to the strength of their Cosmo. | ||||
| 108 | 'Isaac! A Cold Hearted Man' Transcription: 'Aizakku! Kōri no kokoro wo motsu otoko' (Japanese: アイザック! 氷の心を持つ男) | 6.7 | February 11, 1989 | |
| Hyoga comes to, tells Ikki he was weak because of his emotions and tells him to continue. Hyoga must control his emotions and be strong during battle, like Camus taught him. He then goes to the Arctic Ocean Mammoth Pillar. Ikki heads to Poseidon's Temple, hoping his friends will remain strong and focus on saving Athena. Hyoga arrives at the pillar and senses a familiar cold air. A Mariner General greets him, and he is revealed to be Issac, Hyoga's training partner when he trained with the Crystal Saint. Now the Mariner General Kraken Issac, he attacks Hyoga, leaving him confused because Issac used to fight for justice and wonders why he has changed. As children, Issac and Hyoga were close friends and grew strong together as the years went by under the Crystal Saint's training. Issac's dream was to become a powerful Saint and fight for justice to protect the Earth. He thought Hyoga's goal was the same. In the present, Hyoga noticed Issac's left eye is nothing but a scar now. Hyoga, sorry for Issac's pain, allows him to destroy one of his eyes as payment. Issac, however, only hurt his eyelid. He then reminds Hyoga of the Kraken legend. The Kraken used to devour ships in one fell swoop, but only attacked people with evil intentions. Issac wanted to have the Kraken's cruelty to defeat evil and fight for peace. One day, Issac found out the real reason why Hyoga wanted to be a Saint, to be able to see his mother in the sunken ship. Angered and disappointed, Issac attacks Hyoga, but at the same time, shows him how to break the ice caps. He also warned Hyoga that if he swims to the bottom, a strong current would trap him, and he would never be seen again. Hyoga finally broke the ice cap, and swims, but is caught in the current. Issac swims down to rescue his friend, who is unconscious. Suddenly, the current traps both of them. Issac's eye was wounded by a stalagtite and tries to break a hole in the ice cap to save Hyoga. He succeeds in saving Hyoga, but Issac is dragged across the ocean, leading him to Poseidon's Sanctuary. Issac found out overtime that Hyoga became the Cygnus Bronze Saint, fought against the Sanctuary and killed his masters, Crystal Saint and Aquarius Camus. That's when Issac decided to become a Mariner General. He then attacks his former friend with his Aurora Borealis. | ||||

| Shun recovers and tells Kiki to find Hyoga while he goes to the next pillar. Hyoga gets up and tries to tell Issac he's wrong, but Issac insults his former masters, that they weren't strong enough to protect the world. He then attacks Hyoga again, knocking him out. Just then, Kiki arrives, and Issac attacks him to take the Libra Cloth and stop the pillars' destruction. Kiki refuses to let the box go while Issac stomps him mercilessly. Kiki is risking himself, just like his friends are, so he can be a Saint one day. Hyoga gets up and lets Kiki rest until Issac is defeated. Hyoga burns his Cosmos to the Seventh Sense and attacks Issac with Diamond Dust. As Issac recovers, he sees Crystal Saint's and Camus' images behind Hyoga, giving him power. Issac attacks again, but Hyoga blocks it, with the Cygnus Cloth turning gold. He tries to convince Issac again to stop what he's doing. In Athena's Sanctuary, Mu and Aiolia sense what is happening. Aiolia wants to help the Bronze Saints, but Mu stops him because of Roshi's orders to remain in the Sanctuary. Issac prepares one more Aurora Borealis, but Hyoga counters with the Aurora Execution, defeating Issac. He is proud that Hyoga finally set aside his feelings. Hyoga uses the Golden Libra Tonfa to destroy the Arctic Ocean Mammoth Pillar. Before dying, Issac warns Hyoga about the man who started this horrible battle. Meanwhile, Ikki continues toward Poseidon's Temple. However, Sea Dragon suddenly stands in his way. | ||||

| Sea Dragon approaches Ikki, but he has sensed this Cosmos before. He then attacks Ikki with a Galaxian Explosion, destroying his helmet. Ikki demands Sea Dragon to reveal who he is. He removes his helmet, and he reveals himself to be Gemini Saga's twin brother, Gemini Kanon, who is pure evil. Kanon sends Ikki to another dimension, using his Golden Triangle, which resembles the Bermuda Triangle. He then claims he will rule both the Earth and the sea. Seiya recovers, sensing Saori's weakened Cosmos. Shaina is still fighting Thetis and is able to defeat her with her Thunder Claw. As she leaves, Thetis warns her about fighting Poseidon, who is now a god. Shaina arrives at the Temple, remembering Juilan Solo is a rich merchant and never had any training. But he exposes a powerful Cosmo, just as strong as Athena's. Shaina attacks, but Poseidon immobilizes and defeats her. Seiya senses Shaina's Cosmos and heads to the Temple. Shiryu recovers and heads for the Temple as well. Kanon claims the Generals dying are according to his plan, but he encounters Sorrento, who has survived the battle against Siegfried in Asgard. As they talk, Sorrento doubts if Poseidon really started this battle and demands to know Kanon's identity and if he revived Poseidon. They then sense a powerful Cosmos and return to their pillars. Shun arrives at the South Atlantic Mammoth Pillar and is shocked to see Sorrento. Back in his battle with Siegfried, Sorrento got loose and escaped his grasp, meaning Siegfried's sacrifice was in vain. Shun is attacked by Sorrento's Dead End Symphony, but is saved when they hear Athena singing from the Main Breadwinner. | ||||

| Saori's singing is heard throughout the underwater Sanctuary. Seiya arrives at the Temple and sees Shaina unconscious. He then encounters Poseidon and finds out that the Main Breadwinner is almost full of water. Seiya attacks, but his attacks come back to him. Poseidon then destroys the Pegasus Cloth and is about to finish off Seiya, but Shiryu arrives in time to protect him. At the Sanctuary, Milo, Shaka, and Aldebaran gather around Mu and Aiolia, with Milo wanting to help the Bronze Saints. Shiryu attacks Poseidon, but to no avail. Hyoga also arrives, saying if they die, they'll do it together. Poseidon strikes all three Saints, destroying the Dragon and Cygnus Cloths in the process. Saori sings again, still alive and struggling to save the Earth. Seiya gets up again, ready to fight. Mu stops Aiolia from trying to leave again, and as they decide how to act, a Cosmo emerges from the House of Sagittarius and heads towards Poseidon's Sanctuary. Aiolos' spirit sent the Sagittarius Gold Cloth, covering Seiya. Meanwhile, Shun struggles against Sorrento, but can't stop the Dead End Symphony. Suddenly, Shun burns his Cosmo and unleashes the Nebula Stream, stopping Sorrento's movements. Shun pleads Sorrento to surrender, saying that he isn't an evil person, especially since he can play a beautiful melody and possesses a noble spirit. Sorrento is about to play his Dead End Climax, but is defeated by Shun's Seventh Sense-empowered Nebula Storm. | ||||

| Kiki arrives to the South Atlantic pillar and hands Shun a weapon to destroy the pillar. Seiya attacks again, but Poseidon sends his attacks back to him. Meanwhile, at the North Atlantic Mammoth Pillar, Ikki comes back and confronts Kanon, saying that Saga was stronger than his brother. After blocking the Galaxian Explosion, Ikki uses the Phoenix Illusion on Kanon and having him reveal his secret. Thirteen years ago, Kanon tried to convince his brother, Saga, to kill Athena, who was a baby at the time, and to kill the Pope who chose Aiolos as his successor. Saga then locked his brother in the prison at Cape Sounion, where Athena locked her enemies from ancient wars, until his evil heart would be purified. Kanon then assures Saga that his heart is just as evil, and at that moment, the evil inside Saga awakens (which would begin Saga's reign of terror in the Sanctuary Chapter). Saga leaves his brother, with Kanon swearing to kill his brother and Athena. During his time in the prison, Kanon almost died many times, but a gentle Cosmo saved his life every time. One day, Kanon found Poseidon's Trident sealed by Athena, in the prison. When he removed the seal, Kanon was dragged to Poseidon's Sanctuary. When he entered the temple, he accidentally freed Poseidon's soul and using the name Sea Dragon, informed him of Athena reincarnating on Earth. Poseidon told Kanon that whenever he revives, he takes over the body of a member of the Solo family. In this case, the member in the Solo family is three-year-old Julian. Since Athena can't do anything as a baby, Poseidon slept in Julian's body and told Kanon to wake him up in thirteen years, when the Mariners have gathered. As Poseidon left, Kanon wore the Sea Dragon Scales, swearing to manipulate Julian and the Mariner Generals, rule both the Earth and the sea, also to keep Poseidon asleep forever. Now that Ikki knows the truth, Kanon prepares to finish him off. Meanwhile, at Poseidon's temple, Seiya gets up again and prepares to fire a golden arrow at the God of the Sea. | ||||
| 113 | 'Shoot Poseidon! The Golden Arrow' Transcription: 'Poseidon wo ute! Ōgon no ishi' (Japanese: 海皇を射て! 黄金の一矢) | 7.4 | March 25, 1989 | |
| Seiya fires the arrow, but Poseidon controls it, firing it at Seiya's heart. Miraculously, he survives, thanks to the Gold Cloth. Seiya fires again, and Poseidon controls the arrow, but Shaina protects Seiya, and the arrow hits her back. She tells Seiya he is their last hope and that he must not die. At the Sanctuary, a beam of light shoots from the House of Aquarius, heading for Poseidon's temple. Shaina extracts the arrow from her back and hands it to Seiya, saying she will protect him, no matter what, and to fire as many times as necessary. Poseidon controls the arrow again, but Seiya shields Shaina instead. Shiryu instead takes the hit, protecting them both. Hyoga gets up, and both him and Shiryu decide to be Seiya's shields. Shun arrives as well, telling him to keep firing. Only this time, Shiryu and the others will deposit their Cosmo in the arrow. Seiya fires the arrow one last time, hoping it doesn't return this time. Unable to control the arrow, Poseidon is struck by it, knocking his crown off his head, and not only does he start bleeding, but his powerful Cosmo disappears. Seiya and his friends run past him, heading for the Main Breadwinner. Unfortunately, Poseidon fully awakens, unleashing a powerful Cosmos. Back at the North Atlantic Mammoth Pillar, Ikki and Kanon sense Poseidon waking up. Sorrento and Kiki arrive, handing Ikki the Golden Libra Shield, much to Kanon's surprise. Sorrento, knowing Kanon started the battle, lets Ikki destroy the final pillar. Meanwhile, Poseidon fully awakens from his slumber before he attacks Seiya and his friends. Hyoga gets up to protect Seiya, and then, Camus' spirit sends Hyoga the Aquarius Gold Cloth to cover him. He then uses Aurora Execution to try to stop Poseidon's attack. Just as the attack is about to fail, Shiryu blocks it with the Libra Shield and wears the Libra Cloth. Now, Seiya, Hyoga and Shiryu, clad in Gold Cloths, are ready for a final showdown with Poseidon. | ||||

| Seiya, Hyoga and Shiryu combine their techniques and Cosmo, knocking down Poseidon. Shiryu tries to destroy the Main Breadwinner with the Golden Shield, but it flies back to him, with the pillar unscathed. Meanwhile, Ikki is mercilessly attacked by Kanon, angry that his ambitions are crushed. Sorrento tries to kill Kanon with his melody, but Ikki asks to talk to Kanon, about the one thing used to seal Poseidon's soul: Athena's urn. Seiya and his friends are unable to destroy the pillar with Libra's weapons. Seiya asks his friends to launch his body with their techniques in order to destroy the pillar that way. Shun gets up, preparing to fight. Ikki reveals to Kanon that the Cosmo that saved his life many times in Cape Sounion, belonged to Athena. Finding it hard to believe, since Athena was a baby at the time, Kanon reveals the location of Athena's urn, inside the Main Breadwinner. Ikki leaves for the temple, saying Kanon is not worth fighting. Sorrento, sensing Athena's compassion for humanity, takes his leave, also saying Kanon isn't worth the effort. Poseidon awakens again, but Ikki holds him long enough for Seiya to destroy the pillar and recover Athena's urn. Shiryu and Hyoga launch their Rising Dragon and Aurora Thunder Attack, sending Seiya flying towards the pillar. Poseidon gets rid of Ikki and attacks him, Shun, Shiryu and Hyoga. The four Saints burn their Cosmos, covering Seiya and he is able to make a miracle occur. The Main Breadwinner falls apart and it is finally destroyed. Seiya emerges from the rubble, with Saori in his arms. The ocean comes down hard on Poseidon's Sanctuary, starting to flood it. Saori awakens, with her urn, telling Poseidon to surrender. Poseidon throws his trident to her, but Seiya protects her. Poseidon launches multiple attacks at Saori, but her love for her Saints and humanity cause Seiya and his friends to burn their Cosmos, protecting her and surpassing Poseidon's strength. Then, the God of the Sea's soul is dragged to the urn and sealed once again. With Poseidon's Cosmo extinguished, Athena and her Saints have won the battle. Kiki and Shaina reunite with their friends. Saori then teleports them back to the surface. The floods and rains have seized. Tatsumi, Jabu, Ban, Ichi, Nachi, Geki, Hilda, Freya, Aiolia, Milo, Shaka, Aldebaran, Mu, Marin, Shunrei, and Roshi look up at the sun filled sky, happy that the world is saved. Julian lies unconscious on the surface with Thetis, now a mermaid, swimming away. Seiya, Shiryu, Hyoga, Shun, Ikki, Kiki and Shaina are gathered with Saori. She swears that when evil threatens the Earth and no matter what difficulties they face, she and her Saints will continue to protect and love the world they live in. | ||||

| It has been 243 years since the previous Holy War between Athena and Hades, God of the Underworld. On a tower that Roshi has been observing, the seal Athena placed ages ago has lost its effect. The spirits of the 108 Specters, Hades' soldiers, are now free. At the Sanctuary, Nachi, Ichi and Shaina notice that graves from the Saints' graveryard have been disturbed, with the bodies coming out from the inside. At the House of Aries, a shadowy figure approaches Mu, who seems familiar to him. He orders Mu to bring him Athena's head in 12 hours. When he refuses, two more figures appear. Two Gold Saints whose lives were lost in the Battle of the 12 Houses, Cancer Deathmask and Pisces Aphrodite. Since they sold their souls to Hades, he offered them new lives, bodies, and Surplices, armors from the Underworld, resembling their Gold Cloths. Now Hades' Specters, they attack, but Mu is able to block and reflect their techniques with his Crystal Wall. The figure destroys the Crystal Wall and has Deathmask and Aphrodite go and kill Athena. Mu blocks their path and is struck by Deathmask. Suddenly, Seiya comes to Mu's rescue, but is shocked to see the dead Gold Saints alive again. Mu explains that Hades is Athena's true enemy and wants to destroy her to rule the Earth. The true reason the Gold Saints revived in this era, is in order to defeat Hades and his army. Mu also tells him that under Saori's orders, Seiya and his friends are no longer welcome in the Sanctuary, and are to be killed if they disobey. In disbelief, Seiya wears his Pegasus Cloth, even though its damaged, and battles Deathmask, easily overpowering him. However, Mu strikes Seiya from the back, and as Deathmask moves in for the kill, Mu tosses him aside and seemingly destroys Seiya with his Starlight Extinction. | ||||

| The shadowy figure deduce that Mu teleported Seiya instead of destroying him. Mu blocks Deathmask and Aphrodite's paths once more and defeats them with Starlight Extinction. At Lushan's Waterfalls, Roshi tells Shunrei he is leaving and might never come back, telling her to not let Shiryu leave her side and wishing Seiya and the others would live peacefully as normal teenagers after fighting for so long. As Roshi leaves, three shadowy figures approach Shunrei. Deathmask and Aphrodite have been vanquished, but three more figures approach Mu. Shaina orders Nachi and Ichi to set fire to the remaining graves, while Jabu discovers that three more Gold Saints were revived. At Lushan, the figures ask Shunrei for the whereabouts of Shiryu and Roshi, but Shiryu, still blind, comes to her rescue. The figures reveal themselves as the former Silver Saints Perseus Argol, Auriga Capella, and Cerberus Dante, who were revived thanks to Hades' power. After receiving the Silver Saints' attacks, Shiryu easily kills them with his Rising Dragon. The figures surrounding Mu reveal themselves as the Gold Saints Capricorn Shura, Aquarius Camus, and Gemini Saga, also revived by Hades and after Athena's head. Even though he received Camus and Shura's attacks, Mu stands strong. But all three Specters attack Mu at once. However, he is able to sense that their souls are crying tears of blood. The first figure immobilizes Mu so Saga, Shura and Camus can go through the House of Aries to get Athena's head. Shunrei was unable to stop Shiryu and he heads for the Sanctuary. Roshi arrives and ignites the flames on the fire clock. He has the figure reveal himself, the previous Pope killed by Saga and Mu's master, Aries Shion. Roshi, whose real name is Dohko, is surprised to see his friend and fellow survivor of the previous Holy War, with his 18-year-old body, when he is supposed to be 261 years old, like him. Roshi frees Mu from Shion's telekinesis and tells him to join Aiolia and the other Gold Saints to save Athena while he fights his old friend. | ||||
| 117 | 03 | 'The Shadow of the One Who Struggles' Transcription: 'Ugomekumono no kage' (Japanese: 蠢く者の影) | December 26, 2002 | |
| At Hades' castle, Wyvern Rhadamanthys, one of the three judges of the Underworld, begs Pandora, a beautiful girl and Hades' representative, to give him permission to go to the Sanctuary, but she refuses, and says the revived Gold Saints will handle the mission of killing Athena. Mu heads for the House of Taurus to find Aldebaran. Shun awakens after he keeps having dreams of a girl who resembles Pandora. Sensing something is wrong, he heads towards the Sanctuary. Tatsumi, under Saori's orders, tries to keep Shun from leaving, but to no avail. Mu finds Aldebaran, but the Taurus Saint has died, and only his Gold Cloth and a small trace of his Cosmos remain. The one responsible emerges from the shadows, a Specter, Deep Niobe, who was sent by Rhadamanthys. Deathmask and Aphrodite invade Hades' Castle, hoping to see the god, but Rhadamanthys sends them to the Land of Death. Rhadamanthys appears before them and tosses them into Yomutsu Hirasaka. Niobe uses his Deep Fragrance, which killed Aldebaran, against Mu, but the Crystal Wall blocked it. Mu claims that Niobe has already died, due to Aldebaran's Great horn, only it was delayed. As Mu leaves, Niobe's body is crushed. Aldebaran's Cosmos was able to save Mu, and he claims his death was not in vain. Shun heads for a ship that will take him to Greece, but is attacked by Canis Major Sirius, Heracles Alghetti, and Musca Dio, who have revived. Shun, with his damaged Andromeda Cloth, kills all three Silver Saints with his Nebula Chain. Mu heads for the House of Gemini, but is surprised to sense two powerful Cosmos coming from it. Saga tells Camus and Shura to keep going, while he fights the new guardian of the House. | ||||
| 118 | 04 | 'Expiation of the Immortal' Transcription: 'Hanshin no shokuzai' (Japanese: 半神の贖罪) | December 26, 2002 | |
| Scorpio Milo arrives at Athena's Temple, sensing an enemy, but Saori assures him that the person is an ally, and is protecting the House of Gemini. Saga recognises the new guardian, remembering all of his atrocities, his brother Kanon, who survived the battle of Poseidon and now wearing the Gemini Gold Cloth. In Siberia, Hyoga decides to never see his mother again, even though he will never forget her. He remembers Camus' teachings and the influence he had on his life. Suddenly, three figures approach him. Kanon says that Athena has cleansed the evil in his heart and has forgiven him. He also says that he will fight for justice from now on. Even though Shura and Camus went ahead, they are caught in the Gemini Labyrinth. Saga attacks, but the Gemini Cloth is empty. He then fires a huge blast of energy, all the way to the Pope's chambers, striking the real Kanon. Milo appears, and believing Kanon is still a threat, orders him to leave, acknowledging the remaining Saints will never forgive him for all he's done. Kanon refuses, saying he fights for Athena. Milo retaliates with his Scarlet Needles, one after another. Meanwhile in Siberia, the Silver Saints Lizard Misty, Whale Moses and Centaurus Babel, revived by Hades, fight Hyoga and are quickly defeated by his Aurora Thunder Attack, with Babel asking him to save Athena. Kanon refuses to fight, and is willing to receive all of the Scarlet Needles, since Saori has forgiven him. Saori asks Milo to stop what he's doing, but he won't because of the evil Kanon has done. Kanon received 14 Scarlet Needles and begins to bleed profusely. Milo uses Antares, the final needle. Milo takes his leave to the House of Scorpio, but before leaving, he admits that Kanon is now their ally, and instead of using Antares, he stopped the bleeding. The Scarlet Needles were a test to see if Kanon was telling the truth. With the illusions gone, Shura, Camus and Saga emerge from the House of Gemini. Saga, with tears of joy, hoping that his brother really became a guardian of justice, heads with his friends to the House of Cancer. | ||||
| 119 | 05 | 'Transient Meeting' Transcription: 'Karisome no saikai' (Japanese: かりそめの再会) | January 11, 2003 | |
| As they approach the House of Cancer, Saga, Shura and Camus can sense the presence of death, and end up in the Land of Death. Suddenly, zombies start attacking them. Shiryu finally arrives at the Sanctuary, but is attacked by someone. Saga defeats the zombies and stops the illusion with his Galaxian Explosion. Shura senses someone following them, but Saga said they will take care of them later. At the same time, Ikki appears before Shiryu, telling him to leave as they aren't allowed here, and that he's only here to observe the battle. Angered, Shiryu attacks Ikki, saying he's fighting for Athena and his friends. Ikki then points Shiryu to Seiya's direction before leaving. Shion and Dohko talk, revealing that they were the only survivors of the previous Holy War. Shiryu finds Seiya, alive, at the colisseum, due to Mu's teleportation. Even though Seiya is angry at Ikki for not joining them now, Shiryu reminds Seiya that he is their friend and comrade, and that he may be needed in this battle. Both friends head to the 12 Houses, reminiscing about the past when they last ran up those stairs to save Athena. Meanwhile, Saga and his friends are still trying to break through the House of Cancer, sensing a powerful Cosmos, belonging to Virgo Shaka, who was using an illusion to distract them for 12 hours. Saga realizes he must kill Shaka to stop the illusion and fires a powerful blast to the House of Virgo. However, Shaka protected himself with a barrier, and counters with a blast of energy, just as powerful to the House of Cancer. Shion tries to leave, sensing the attacks, but Dohko stops him, ready to settle the score. | ||||

| Shion and Dohko's power clashes, but it seems Shion has the upper hand, due to Dohko's current appearance. Feeling this, Shiryu tells Seiya to go ahead while he goes to help his master. Dohko orders Shiryu to leave and attacks Shion with the One Hundred Dragons. Hyoga and Shun arrive at the Sanctuary, but Shaina stands in their way. Dohko's dragons are no match for Shion who counters with his ultimate attack, Stardust Revolution. Shiryu wears his damaged Dragon Cloth and attacks Shion. Shun understands why Saori gave the order, but he realizes they must protect her no matter what. Shaina prepares to battle Hyoga once he starts burning his Cosmo. At the House of Aries, Shion blocks the Rising Dragon, but Dohko gets up and asks Shiryu to leave. However, Shiryu can't leave, knowing his master is fighting alone. Dohko agrees to let him stay, promising to apologize to Athena later. Hyoga prepares to attack, but Shaina turns her back and allows them to move forward. Shion attacks, but the Libra Gold Cloth saves Dohko and Shiryu. Suddenly, Dohko burns his Cosmos, and reveals something amazing. His body starts to crack like a shell, and a younger body emerges from the old one. The young Libra Dohko has returned. He reveals that Athena gave him the gift of Misopethamenos, which allowed him to stay young, meaning, since 243 years passed, for Dohko, it was only 243 days. Dohko tells Shiryu to follow Mu and defeat the Specters that came to the Sanctuary. Dohko dons his Cloth after 243 years and prepares for battle. Shion and Dohko clash with their ultimate techniques, Stardust Revolution and the One Hundred Dragons. Shiryu is sent flying due to the impact. Seiya, Mu, Hyoga, Shun and Shiryu sense both Shion and Dohko's Cosmos have disappeared. | ||||

| Mu arrives at the House of Cancer, destroyed by Shaka's attack. He is then bound by psychokinesis, and a group of Specters make themselves known, searching for Saga, Camus and Shura. Cyclops Gigant tries to attack Mu, but Seiya arrives in time to save him, asking Mu to let him and his friends participate in the battle. Gigant avoids his Meteors and strikes multiple blows. Then, a strange, slimy creature, who used the psychokinesis, named Papillon Myu tells Gigant and the other Specters to head for the House of Leo. Shiryu encounters Hyoga and Shun, wanting to know where his master is, but there was no trace left, so they continue on their way. Mu is freed from the psychokinesis, because Myu wants to fight him. Myu attacks with Ugly Eruption, but Mu counters with Crystal Wall and Stardust Revolution. Myu then turns into a huge insect and uses Silky Thread to bind Mu and Seiya. Shiryu, Hyoga and Shun pass the House of Cancer, not realizing their friends were trapped close by. Mu and Seiya emerged from the cocoons and find another one above them, with Myu inside. He then emerges in his ultimate form and attacks Seiya with his psychokinesis, but the voice of his friends allow him to break free, much to Myu's shock as not even Mu could do that. Mu then tells him to go to the House of Leo, while he fights Myu. Mu dodges Myu's Fairy Thronging and traps the fairies and him with Crystal Net. Myu is then killed by the Starlight Extinction. After defeating his opponent, Mu heads for the House of Leo. | ||||
| 122 | 08 | 'The Moment of Vacillation' Transcription: 'Shunjun no toki' (Japanese: 逡巡の刻) | February 8, 2003 | |
| Seiya meets up with his friends and they head to the House of Leo. Meanwhile, Gigant and his group of Specters encounter Aiolia at the House of Leo, still searching for Saga and the others, since they were suspicious of them. Five Specters try to get through the House, but Aiolia quickly eliminates them with his Lightning Plasma. Another Specter, Worm Raimi, appears. Seiya and his friends encounter three dead Specters, without their Surplices. One was frozen to death, one was slashed in the back, and the last one had major burn marks. They continue towards the House of Leo. Raimi tells the other Specters to go to the next House and digs a hole underground. Aiolia senses familiar Cosmos within the Specters. Suddenly, he is bound by Raimi's tentacles, but frees himself and drags Raimi above ground. Aiolia attacks but the Specter goes underground and reemerges. However, Aiolia finishes him off with a Lightning Bolt. The four Bronze Saints arrive and tell Aiolia about the dead Specters. Gigant and the other Specters arrive at the House of Virgo and find it in shambles. Shaka appears before them and blocks their attacks with his barrier. He then pulls out a rosary with 108 beads, the same number as Hades' Specters. When a bead turns black, it means a Specter has died. So far, 11 Specters have died, but Gigant is confused, there should only be 8 dead. Shaka attacks the Specters, but three of them stop the attack and use Diamond Dust, Excalibur and Galaxian Explosion. Shaka is able to block the techniques, but just barely. Knowing who the three Specters are, Shaka removes the Surplices to reveal Saga, Camus and Shura. Aiolia tells Seiya and the other Saints that Shaka is willing to sacrifice himself. | ||||
| 123 | 09 | 'At the End of Restraint' Transcription: 'Kyōji no hate' (Japanese: 矜持の果て) | March 8, 2003 | |
| Shaka questions Saga about his true intentions, and they tell him that they are going to kill Athena, so he lets the three of them go to the next House. Shaka then kills the remaining Specters, even though they believe Hades will grant them eternal life, but Shaka proves them wrong. He then stops Saga and the others to try to get the real truth out of them, now that they aren't being followed. However, they still plan on killing Athena. Shaka leads the three former Saints to a garden known as the Twin Sala, also known as Buddha's final resting place. Shaka fights all three of his former friends at once and seems to have the upper hand, but can't keep up for long. He then uses his most powerful technique, Heaven's Treasure to eliminate his enemies' five senses. Unless of course, they use a technique forbidden by Athena since ancient times, the Athena Exclamation. The technique can be used by three Gold Saints, and has the same power as the Big Bang that created the Universe. As they lose their senses, Saga and the others ponder about using the technique, facing eternal shame. Saga convinces them otherwise and reminds them why they allied themselves with Hades. Seiya, Aiolia and the other Saints arrive at the House of Virgo, but Mu blocks the door of the Twin Sala, telling them Shaka wants to die. Shaka is about to eliminate the final senses, but Saga, Shura and Camus use the Athena Exclamation to kill him. While receiving the technique, Shaka remembers Buddha's teachings, while Athena and the other Saints sense and mourn his death. | ||||

| Saga, Shura and Camus only have one of their senses each, but Shaka has survived somehow. He sits under the Twin Gala and writes a message with his blood on flower petals, then the wind blows them towards Athena. Saga and the others realized that Shaka's spirit had come back, just to write his message. After mourning Shaka's death, Saga and the others encounter the Saints, but Aiolia attacks all three, wanting to avenge Shaka. However, Saga blocks his Lightning Plasma. With only four hours left, the former Saints are willing to see Athena no matter what. Meanwhile, Saori receives the flower petals with Shaka's message. The message read Arayashiki, and Saori understands the meaning behind Shaka's death. Milo arrives at the House of Virgo, attacking Saga and the others, but Saga counters with Galaxian Explosion. Saga, Camus and Shura get into position for the Athena Exclamation. Mu, Milo and Aiolia also get into position to use the same technique, despite the protests of Seiya and his friends. If two Athena Exclamations clash, their destructive power will increase to infinity, destroying the entire Sanctuary. As the Gold Saints entrust the Bronze Saints with Athena, the Athena Exclamations are unleashed at the same time. | ||||
| 125 | 11 | 'Shaking Sanctuary' Transcription: 'Shinkan no Sankuchuari' (Japanese: 震撼の聖域) | April 12, 2003 | |
| The clash of the forbidden techniques are felt throughout the entire Sanctuary and are evenly matched, increasing its destructive force. Suddenly, Seiya, Shiryu, Hyoga and Shun burn their Cosmos to push back the techniques towards Saga and his group. Then they surround the exclamtions in order to stop them. The four Bronze Saints awaken their Seventh Sense, their Cloths turn golden, and they unleash their techniques, forcing the exclamations into the sky where it explodes. However, Seiya and his friends are caught in the disaster as the House of Virgo crumbles from the impact. At her Temple, Saori has Kanon retrieve something from the Pope's chambers, left by Saga 13 years ago. Mu, Aiolia and Milo emerge from the rubble, wondering where the Bronze Saints are. Saga, Camus and Shura also emerge from the wreckage. Saori has the Gold Saints bring Saga and his group to her Temple. Seiya and his friends awaken, having survived the commotion. They head for Athena's Temple as well. Once Saga and the others arrive, Kanon hands him a chest, with a golden dagger inside. Thirteen years ago, Saga, disguised as the Pope, tried to kill Athena with the same dagger as a baby. Saori tells Saga to kill her with the dagger, to free them from their suffering. Seiya and his friends arrive, but are too late as Saori kills herself. Back at Hades' Castle, Wyvern Rhadamanthys is informed about Athena's death, and is punished by Pandora for sending Specters to their deaths. Seiya and his friends mourn Saori's death, but Shion arrives, saying the real battle will soon begin. The four Saints attack at the same time, but Shion tosses them aside and is about to explain the whole truth, and the reason behind Athena and Shaka's deaths. | ||||
| 126 | 12 | 'The Cloth of Athena' Transcription: 'Atena no Kurosu' (Japanese: 女神の聖衣) | April 12, 2003 | |
| Shion reveals that the Gold and Silver Saints revived by Hades never betrayed Athena and would never hurt her. He also shows the Bronze Saints the reason why they went through all this trouble. He uses Saori's blood and it flies towards Athena's statue. It begins to glow and then shrinks down to a tiny version of itself. Shion explains that the statue is really the Athena Cloth, which needs her blood to awaken. Shion was the only one who knew the secret. If Saori plans to win against Hades, she needed her Cloth. In the Underworld, Hades came to Shion and the other Saints, revived them and offered them a deal: if they killed Athena in 12 hours, they would be granted eternal life. They pretended to accept the deal, to enter the Sanctuary and get her blood for her Cloth, so Athena would defeat Hades. Shion gives the Bronze Saints the following order: go to Hades' castle and destroy him. At Hades' Castle, Saga and his group take Saori's body covered in a sheet to Pandora, but the sheet is revealed to be empty, and they are there to find Hades and kill him. Shion's 12 hours are almost up and will return to the Underworld soon. He gives the Saints Athena's blood to revive their heavily damaged Cloths. Now, with their Final Bronze Cloths, Shion entrusts the Seiya and his friends with Athena's Cloth to make sure Saori receives it. Aiolia, Mu and Milo arrive at Hades' Castle and face Rhadamanthys, but for some reason, they can't defeat him, and the Specter picks them apart, with no effort at all. Shura is about to cut Pandora, Camus freezes a Specter, Frog Zeros, and Saga asks Pandora to take them to Hades. But they are weakened, because their 12 hours are almost up. Pandora demands to know where Athena is, and Saga tells her that she is in the Underworld. Pandora realizes that Saori plans to fight Hades. Rhadamanthys is about to toss Aiolia into the Underworld, but Shun's chain rescues him. The four Bronze Saints have finally arrived. | ||||
| 127 | 13 | 'The Morning of the Resolution' Transcription: 'Ketsui no asa' (Japanese: 決意の朝) | April 12, 2003 | |
| Aiolia, Mu and Milo sacrifice themselves, stalling Rhadamanthys, allowing the Bronze Saints to find the room where Saga and his group is. The Gold Saints are tossed into the Underworld, presumably losing their lives. Saga and the others' 12 hours are up and the Bronze Saints mourns their deaths after receiving some timely advice before disappearing. Hyoga kills Zeros, because he was stomping Camus, with the Aurora Execution. Just as they spot Pandora, who is going to the Underworld, and try to go after her, Rhadamanthys appears and gains the upper hand on the Bronze Saints. Seiya gets up again, struggling to attack Rhadamanthys. As the Specter is about to toss Seiya down to the Underworld, Shiryu, Hyoga and Shun attack at the same time, but he knocks them down again with his Greatest Caution technique. The Bronze Saints struggle to get up, remembering the words of the Gold Saints and fight back. Rhadamanthys attacks again and Seiya faces him once more. With his Comet Punch, Seiya is able to damage his Surplice. Seiya's Cloth turns gold and he and Rhadamanthys fall down into the Underworld. As the sunrise gets closer, Dohko and Shion contemplate the fact that the Bronze Saints are fighting again. Shaka's message was actually a way to reach the Underworld, alive, which is where he and Saori are right now. Shion, confident that the Bronze Saints will awaken the Eighth Sense, based on the miracles they have achieved in the past, says goodbye to his old friend Dohko and disappears. He and Kanon head towards Hades' Castle. Shiryu, Hyoga and Shun burn their Cosmos, hoping to reach the Underworld alive. Seiya heads to the Underworld, hoping to reach Saori. | ||||

| Shiryu, Hyoga and Shun are about to jump into the hole leading to the Underworld, but Dohko stops them, warning them that only Specters will be able to reach that world alive. He also tells them that they must reach Arayashiki, known as the Eighth Sense. Shaka and Athena had reached this sense by being as close to death as possible, to reach the Underworld alive. Dohko and the Bronze Saints, thanks to their previous battles, awaken the Eighth Sense, and land in the Underworld. Seiya has made it as well, reaching the Eighth Sense beforehand and encounters Shun. Now they must find Saori and give her Cloth to her. Seiya and Shun reach the Acheron River, and see dead people who lived their lives in apathy and aren't allowed to cross the river. A boat comes with a Specter, Acheron Charon, who guides dead people across the river. He begins to fight the Saints, but offers them a ride in exchange for money. Shun offers Charon a golden pendant, something he has had since he was a baby. Even though Charon says it isn't enough, he gives them a ride. At the halfway point, Charon knocks Seiya off the boat where he is being dragged to the bottom by dead people who tried to swim across. Shun saves Seiya and he attacks, breaking through Charon's Rolling Oar defense. The Specter falls into the water, asking for help since only he knows the way to the other side. Shun helps him, but Charon attacks Seiya with Eddying Current Crusher. He then attacks Shun, but looks at his pure eyes, being aware of his pure heart and stops the attack, thinking he might end up in Elysium, a paradise for people chosen by the Gods. Thankful to Shun, Charon returns him his pendant and agrees to take him and Seiya to the other side, on the condition they settle the score. Charon explains the contents of the Underworld, consisting of 8 prisons, 3 valleys, 10 pits, and 4 spheres. Seiya and Charon continue their battle. Since Seiya has seen both of Charon's techniques, he is victorious, killing the Specter with his Meteor of Pegasus. Hyoga, Shiryu, Dohko and Kanon have also made it to the Underworld, but are in different parts of it. Seiya and Shun reach the First Prison, the Palace of Justice. | ||||

Shun rescues him, however Rene notices something strange about Shun. Shun tries to justify the actions of humanity, but is sliced to pieces with the Fire Whip. Rene is then scolded by Hades for cutting his body. In panic, he searches for the body, but Rhadamanthys appears, pointing out it was an illusion. Seiya and Shun are fine, wondering what happened. Rene discovers who made the illusion, Gemini Kanon, who wanted Rene to lead him to Hades. Kanon then destroys Rene with no difficulty and confronts Rhadamanthys about why he defeated Aiolia, Mu and Milo so easily, because of a barrier at Hades' castle that lowered their strength to 1/10. Seiya and Shun arrive, but Kanon attacks them, reminding Shun to be stop being sentimental, in order to save the innocent. He then tells them to go find Athena. Rhadamanthys attacks Kanon, but he counters with the Imperial Satanic Illusion to control him and kill Hades. He is interrupted by Specters who tell Rhadamanthys that Pandora wants to see him. As the Judge leaves, Kanon destroys the lower Specters with Galaxian Explosion. | ||||

| Seiya and Shun reach the Second Prison and encounter Cerberus, the three-headed Watchdog of Hell. Sphinx Pharaoh, guardian of the Second Prison, feeds dead people who were greedy, to Cerberus. The beast tries to eat Seiya, but is defeated by both him and Shun. Suddenly, Lyra Orphée, a legendary Silver Saint just as powerful as the Gold Saints, appears. Pharaoh says that Orphée came to the Underworld willingly and serves Hades. Pharaoh uses Balance of Curse with his harp, about to tear out Seiya's heart. But Orphée plays his lyre and attacks with Stringer Nocturne, defeating the Bronze Saints. He then goes to a garden, visiting his beloved Eurydice, confined to a rock. Seiya and Shun, who survived the attack, arrive in the same garden and encounter Eurydice. She asks them to please help Orphée. She explains that back on Earth, Orphée and Eurydice lived as a couple, in love with each other. However, she was killed when she was bitten by a poisonous snake. Heartbroken, Orphée went to the Underworld, pleading with Hades to revive Eurydice's soul back to Earth, playing his lyre. Pandora lets him know that his request was granted, but on one condition: both must not look back, not even once, until they reached the surface. Wanting to keep Orphée in the Underworld to play his lyre for Hades, Pandora has Pharaoh trick Orphée with a mirror, reflecting a light resembling the sun's light. Orphée turned around, but Eurydice's lower body was confined to a rock. He decided to stay with her since then. Eurydice asks Seiya and Shun to take him back to Earth. Orphée ignores Seiya's request for help to defeat Hades, but Pharaoh appears, taking the Athena Cloth.

Pharaoh hates Orphée because he replaced him, entertaining Hades and Pandora with his harp. He then prepares his Balance of Curse, but it backfires. Orphée kills Pharaoh while holding the broken string with his teeth, and uses Stringer Nocturne. Realizing his mistake, Orphée says goodbye to Eurydice and takes Seiya and Shun to a secret passage, leading them to Hades' Palace in the Eighth Prison, Giudecca. Meanwhile, Shiryu, Hyoga and Kanon arrive in the Third Prison, were the dead move giant rocks, equivalent of their greed and desires. They encounter the prison's guardian, Golem Rock, but Shiryu, who is able to see again, easily kills him with a perfect Rising Dragon. Another Specter, Troll Ivan, is also easily killed by Hyoga's Diamond Dust before he gets the chance to properly introduce himself. Orphée arrives in Giudecca, with a trunk (where Seiya and Shun are hidden). Pandora opens it and its filled with flowers, with Orphée wanting to give them to Hades. Not trusting him, Pandora thrusts the flowers with her spear, trying to see if there is anyone in there. Just then, Garuda Aiacos, Wyvern Rhadamanthys and Griffin Minos, the three Judges of the Underworld, arrive in Giudecca. | ||||

| Orphée plays his Death Trip Serenade, making Pandora and the three Judges fall asleep. Before he can attack Hades, Rhadamanthys strikes Orphée, knowing he would betray them. Seiya and Shun emerged from the trunk unscathed and attack the Judge. Hades appears, wearing Shun's pendant, and Hades's face looks exactly like Shun's. Orphée attacks with Stringer Fine, with Hades seemingly destroyed, but it is revealed to be a fake body. Rhadamanthys strikes Orphée's heart, ordering him to awake the other Judges and Pandora. Orphée, dying, tells Seiya to attack them both while he holds Rhadamanthys. Seiya awakens his Eight Sense and attacks with his Meteor of Pegasus. As Orphée dies, he entrusts the Bronze Saints with Athena. Rhadamanthys survives the attack, but Shun begins to act like Hades and his hair turns red. Seiya tries to snap him out of it, but Hades has taken over his body. Rhadamanthys attacks Seiya, defeating him. Both Seiya and Orphée's bodies are taken to the frozen hell in the Eighth Prison, Cocytus, where the dead who have committed crimes against the gods, are buried up to their heads. Pandora and the Judges awaken, and Hades sits on his throne. The Judges find it hard to believe the God of the Underworld used to be a Saint. Hyoga, Shiryu and Kanon arrive at a swamp in the Fourth Prison, guarded by Lycaon Phlegyas. Hyoga and Shiryu are defeated by him, but Kanon kills Phlegyas with his Galaxian Explosion.

Suddenly, Aiacos and Minos come to kill Kanon and attack with their Galactica Illusion and Cosmic Marionattion, respectively. However, the strings from the Cosmic Marionattion are suddenly cut, releasing Kanon. Just then, with his Final Cloth, Phoenix Ikki arrives. Kanon tells him that Shun is Hades, but Ikki doesn't believe it. When Ikki hears Pandora's name, though, he remembers that when he and Shun were children, Pandora, as a child, tried to take Shun from him, saying his body belongs to Hades. He hadn't seen her for years after that. Ikki is distracted and gets attacked by Aiacos. He then gets up, in tears, realizing Shun is going to sacrifice himself. After accepting his challenge, Aiacos sends Ikki flying with his Garuda Flap twice. On the second time, however, Ikki manages to knock down Aiacos.

| Aiacos recovers and attacks Ikki with Galactica Illusion. At Giudecca, Hades and Pandora sense Ikki's powerful Cosmos. He asks Pandora to bring him before his throne. Ikki gets up and uses the Phoenix Illusion, with Aiacos seeing his own death in his head. Aiacos is then finally killed by Ikki's Flying Phoenix. Shortly after his victory and before he is able to challenge the two remaining Judges, Ikki is surrounded by a strange light and disappears. Pandora teleports Ikki to Giudecca. He is surprised to see his brother as Hades. Pandora reminds Ikki of when they first met, when he almost lost his life protecting his baby brother. Pandora, holding what looked like the Universe in a mantle, tried approaching the baby Shun, but a powerful Cosmo kept her at bay. Not willing to risk Shun's body, Pandora gives Shun the pendant seen earlier, and takes her leave. In the present, Ikki finally remembers everything. The pendant, which reads 'Yours Ever', was from Hades, who chose Shun to be his vessel. Ikki destroys the pendant and knocks Pandora out of the way. He goes to his brother and tries to snap him out of it. Hades pushes Ikki back and reveals his plan, the Grand Eclipse. His plan is to align all the planets in the Solar System, blocking the Sun from the Earth. This eternal eclipse will cause Earth to undergo a new Ice Age, becoming a world of death. Ikki attacks Hades numerous times with a strengthened Cosmo which destroys most of the throne room, but his attacks are easily returned by the God. Suddenly, Hades begins strangling himself. Shun's spirit appears behind Hades and tells Ikki to destroy Hades once and for all. | ||||
| 135 | 21 | 'Ikki! Sorrowful Punch' Transcription: 'Ikki! Dokoku no ken' (Japanese: 一輝! 慟哭の拳) | December 15, 2006 | |
| Ikki realizes that Shun allowed Hades to enter his body, to have the chance and sacrifice himself, like his constellation of Andromeda, to end the battle. Pandora tries to stop Ikki, but the Nebula Chain surround Ikki to protect him, giving him the opportunity to strike. Shun tells his brother not to worry, and that he is happy giving up his life if it means saving others. All the Saints in the Underworld sense Ikki's Cosmo. Ikki pierces Shun's chest and extracts Hades' soul from his body, destroying it. Suddenly, Hades' real soul emerges from Shun's chest, but it was all a dream in Seiya's head. In reality, Ikki had actually stopped his attack, injuring his fist in the process. Then Hades' hair turns from red to black, meaning he now has complete control over Shun's body. He then defeats Ikki with no effort. Pandora orders Harpy Valentine to bury Ikki at Cocytos and leaves Hades to be alone. Just then, Shaka appears, ready to kill Hades. Valentine buries Ikki in Cocytos, filled with Saints who lost their lives in the previous Holy Wars. Seiya discovers Aiolia, Mu and Milo are also buried here. He then asks Valentine to release him, informing him that he has Athena's Cloth. Valentine releases Seiya and is able to dodge his attacks. Seiya is knocked down and gets up again, but Valentine strikes back with his 'Greed the Life' technique. Shaka prepares to strike, but Saori arrives. | ||||

Athena's Cosmo awaken Seiya and he stands to fight again. Meanwhile, Saori begs on her knees and asks Hades to stop the Grand Eclipse, but he refuses, yet Saori is willing to give up her life. Hades gives Shaka Pandora's trident, and orders him to kill Athena. But Shaka throws it at Hades, although Saori stops the trident. Hades points the trident at Shaka, but she stands in his way. Seiya and Valentine charge at each other, Seiya killing the Specter with his Meteors of Pegasus. Saori stops the trident, and bleeds. She burns her Cosmos and as the blood touches Hades and hurts him, his hair color is changing back to red and then to green. Hades' soul escapes Shun's body and charges at her. Saori strikes him with the trident, stained with her blood. However, Hades attacks her and both gods disappear. Shiryu and Hyoga kill multiple Specters on their way to the Eighth Prison and sense Athena's Cosmos disappearing. Pandora, Kanon, Rhadamanthys, Minos, Dohko and Seiya also sense Hades and Athena's Cosmos disappearing. | ||||

| With words of encouragement from Marin, Seiya gets up and heads towards Giudecca. He finds Shun back to normal and both go deeper into Hades' Temple. Back on Earth, Jabu, Ichi and Nachi see the eclipse, but are confident Seiya and his friends will return. At the orphanage, Seiya's friend Miho and her students also see the eclipse. Seiya and Shun reach the Wailing Wall, which covers the path to the Elysium Fields. Shaka is there and tries to break through, but it is impossible, for only gods can go through it. Saori and Hades are on the other side of the wall. Shaka deduces that Hades' real body is located in the Elysium Fields. Just then, Athena's Cosmos burns throughout the Underworld. Some Specters reach Cocytos and find Valentine's corpse. Just then, Athena's Cosmos revives Aiolia, Mu and Milo. They quickly kill the Specters and as they head for Giudecca, they realize Ikki is gone. Shaka stops Seiya from wasting his energy, trying to break the wall and remembers that the only thing that can destroy the wall is sunlight. Shaka then expands his Cosmo in order to try to make sunlight. Dohko stops him from trying to sacrifice himself. Aiolia, Mu and Milo arrive as well. Mu shows Shaka that most of the beads from the rosary have changed, meaning most of the Specters have died. When all seems lost, Dohko knows how to bring sunlight to the Underworld. He reminds his fellow Gold Saints that their constellations and Cloths surround the Sun in the Ecliptic and have stored sunlight within them. Dohko then distributes his Libra weapons among the Gold Saints in order to destroy the Wailing Wall. Meanwhile, Marin has brought the mysterious girl with her towards the Sanctuary. | ||||

| The five Gold Saints burn their Cosmos and toss the weapons into the Wailing Wall, but are ineffective and come back to them. Shaina gathers with Jabu and the other Bronze Saints. Marin and Kiki arrive as well, deducing that chaos is occurring around the world, due to the Grand Eclipse. Seiya takes one of the weapons and attempt to destroy the Wailing Wall, like he did with the Main Breadwinner in Poseidon's Sanctuary, risking his life. Out of nowhere, a light appears. At the Sanctuary, lights coming from the Houses of Taurus, Cancer, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces head towards the Underworld. Hyoga and Shiryu have made it through the last Prison and notice the lights headed toward Giudecca. The lights are the souls of the deceased Gold Saints and their Gold Cloths. All Gold Cloths have gathered in the Underworld, resonating with one another. Kanon removes his Gemini Cloth, sending it to Giudecca, and fights Rhadamanthys again, however, he seems to be at a disadvantage. Kanon takes a hold of Rhadamanthys and as they rise farther into the sky, he uses a final Galaxian Explosion, destroying them both. He then bids farewell to Athena and his brother, Saga. Hyoga and Shiryu make it to the Wailing Wall and see all 12 Gold Cloths in one place. Suddenly, the empty Gold Cloths come apart and begin to take shape. | ||||

Friends and comrades happily reunite, (Aiolos with Aiolia; Camus with Hyoga; Shura with Shiryu; Aldebaran with Seiya; Deathmask and Aphrodite with Mu. Also, Kanon's soul unites with Saga) but the reunion is short lived. Aiolos pulls out an arrow, preparing to fire it at the wall. Aiolia says goodbye and warns the Bronze Saints to leave. Dohko says all 12 Gold Saints will focus their Cosmos to Aiolos' arrow in order to destroy the wall, but it will cause an explosion so intense, that the Gold Saints will lose their lives. He explains that no human can reach the Elysium Fields, but the Bronze Saints can since their Cloths are bathed in Athena's blood. Dohko says that Hades cares a lot about his body and keeps it sealed in Elysium, which is why he possesses a human whenever he revives. Finally, he orders them to destroy Hades' body, which will end the Holy Wars between Athena and Hades, forever. The 12 Gold Saints bid a heartbreaking farewell to the four Bronze Saints. Seiya and his friends, with tears in their eyes, bid farewell to the brave soldiers who taught them so much and escape. Dohko reminds Shiryu that Shunrei prays for him and Shura reminds him of their battle and to remain strong. Camus reminds Hyoga of their battle and assures him he can win. Aphrodite also reminds Shun of their battle and believes he will make a miracle. Minos confronts the Bronze Saints and easily blocks their attacks. The 12 Gold Saints entrust the Earth, Athena and the future to the Bronze Saints as Aiolos fires the arrow, and causes a monstrous explosion, destroying the Wailing Wall. Minos is caught in the blast, seemingly defeated. Seiya and his friends rush back inside, seeing the Gold Saints have opened a path through the wall. But the Gold Saints have died, only the 12 Gold Cloths remained. Their spirits bid farewell to the Bronze Saints, reminding them to stay strong, fight for justice and never lose hope. Having mourned the Gold Saints' deaths, Seiya and his friends head towards the Elysium Fields to hand Athena her Cloth, destroy Hades and stop the Grand Eclipse. Saori is then shown trapped in a giant urn, turning red at the bottom. Ikki also heads towards the Elysium Fields, with Pandora watching him, remembering her childhood. | ||||

Shiryu fights them all at once, unleashing the force of Excalibur. Seiya, Hyoga and Shun reach the other side of the Wailing Wall, but find an inter-dimensional path of time and space. At the end of the path is a shining light, leading to the Elysium Fields. Minos, having survived the blast, catches up to them, with Hyoga staying behind to fight him. Hyoga makes an ice barrier while Seiya and Shun go forward. Minos breaks the barrier and uses Cosmic Marionation on Hyoga. Seiya is being dragged by the pressure of time and space, but then his Cloth grows wings, due to Athena's blood. He rescues Shun and both head to the Elysium Fields. Hyoga freezes the threads of the Marionation, immobilizing Minos and attacks with Aurora Execution. Minos barely survives and traps Hyoga with a remaining thread, but he is suddenly destroyed due to the dimensional pressure, proving only gods can walk the path. Hyoga and the others were spared because of their Cloths bathed in Athena's blood. Shiryu holds his own against the three Specters, taking their attacks head on and still fighting. He challenges all three to attack him at once and kill them with his master's technique, One Hundred Dragons. With the pressure of the techniques, Shiryu flies all the way to the inter-dimensional path, where Hyoga is waiting for him. Sylphid somehow survived and goes after Shiryu but he is also destroyed by the pressure. With his Cygnus wings, Hyoga takes Shiryu to the Elysium Fields.

| Ikki is about to follow his friends, but Pandora warns him that if he enters the path, he will be destroyed, since his Cloth is not bathed in Athena's blood. The six final Specters follow them. Pandora explains that 13 years ago, she lived a peaceful life in Heinstein Castle, before it became Hades' Castle. She lived with her parents, servants and many pets. One day, she found an old shed, locked for 200 years. Curious, she went inside, and found a box with Athena's seal. She opened it, releasing two deities, Thanatos and Hypnos, gods of Death and Sleep. They tell Pandora that her mother will give birth to Hades' soul and order her to take care of it, giving her the power to control the Specters and promising her eternal life. When Hades' reincarnation arrived, everyone except Pandora died in the castle. That was also the reason she went after Shun long ago. After meeting Ikki and the Saints, she realized what Hades promised was a lie and decides to help him, by giving him a necklace that will let him travel to the Elysium Fields safely. Pandora then mysteriously dies, for betraying Hades, but not before warning Ikki of Thanatos and Hypnos, gods and Hades' most loyal servants. The six Specters appear and they are killed by Ikki. With their deaths, all 108 Specters have died. Ikki places the rosary on Pandora's body, promising to avenge her. With his Phoenix wings, Ikki heads to the Elysium Fields. Nymphs warn Thanatos of a 'demon' who entered the fields. The god investigates, meeting Seiya, who tells him Saori died. Hypnos, Thanatos' twin brother, appears, and reveals that Thanatos killed Pandora for helping Ikki. However, Hypnos has not killed Saori. Saori is in an urn, located outside a tower where Hades' body is located. Hypnos put her in a deep sleep, and the urn absorbs the blood of its victim. When the urn turns completely red, Saori will die. Seiya rushes to her rescue and Thanatos tries to stop him, but Seiya dodges the attack and counters while running towards Saori. Thanatos finally hits Seiya, destroying his wings. Meanwhile, Shaina, reunited with Marin, Jabu, Ichi, Ban, Geki, Nachi and Kiki, asks Marin where she was. Kiki then brings the mysterious girl from before. Marin reveals the girl's identity: Seiya's long-lost sister, Seika. Seiya hears his sister's voice, and gets up again, attacking Thanatos with his Comet Punch. | ||||

| Shaina tries talking to Seika, but she has amnesia. She lived all this time in a small village near the Sanctuary. Six years ago, when Seiya came to the Sanctuary, Seika also traveled to Greece, hoping to find her brother, but fell off a cliff, and almost died. An elderly villager found her and rescued her, but she lost her memories since then. Marin knows how Seika felt, because she was also searching for her younger brother. Thanatos recovers from Seiya's attack, but notices blood stains on himself. Angered that he was wounded by a human, he mercilessly attacks Seiya, but then decides to kill Seika from afar as revenge. Shaina and everyone else notice Seika is in pain. Thanatos shows him an manifested image, showing Seiya his sister Seika, telling him he is killing her. Kiki senses a powerful Cosmos about to attack Seika, and he stands in the way of the blast. Kiki senses another blast, and Marin takes the blow this time. Thanatos speaks to them, saying he will kill Seika. A third blast comes, and Shaina takes the hit. Jabu and everyone else burn their Cosmos, surrounding Seika, protecting her, telling Seiya to keep fighting, for they will keep his sister safe. They form a barrier, but Thanatos' blast breaks the barrier, injuring them. Seiya tries using the Pegasus Rolling Crash, but it is useless against the evil god. Shun comes to Seiya's rescue, but Thanatos attacks him as well, destroying the Rolling Defense. Shiryu and Hyoga arrive, but their attacks are useless. Ikki finally arrives. Although he manages to break Thanatos' helmet, Ikki is also no match for Thanatos and suffers his Terrible Providence. However, Thanatos feels a strong vibration, coming from the 12 Gold Cloths. The five Bronze Saints get up again, but the Terrible Providence destroys all five of the Bronze Cloths. Suddenly, five Gold Cloths travel through the dimensions, arriving at the Elysium Fields. Now, Sagittarius Seiya, Libra Shiryu, Aquarius Hyoga, Virgo Shun and Leo Ikki prepare to fight Thanatos. | ||||

| Aiolos, Dohko, Camus, Shaka and Aiolia's spirits sent their Cloths to help the Saints. Thanatos deduces that Poseidon sent the Cloths to the Elysium Fields. Back on Earth, Sorrento, who is travelling with Julian Solo, senses Poseidon in Julian's body. He tells Sorrento that he has sent the Gold Cloths, though still sealed, in order to help the Bronze Saints and also deduces the Grand Eclipse is launched by Hades, attempting to rule the Earth. Julian comes back to his senses and Poseidon returns to his eternal sleep. Seiya and his friends launch their signature moves against Thanatos at the same time, but they are ineffective, as the evil god destroys the Gold Cloths. Seiya begins to lose hope, but Saori speaks to him, urging him not to give up, since they are still alive. Marin, Shaina, Jabu and the others give him words of encouragement, and as Seiya yells out her name, Seika recovers her memory, screaming out her brother's name. Seiya recovers, burning his Cosmos, and amazingly, his Cloth transforms and covers him, revealing a new Pegasus Cloth. Hypnos appears, revealing it is a God Cloth, an armor capable of rivaling the armors worn by the Olympian Gods. Seiya recovers Athena's Cloth, taken by Thanatos, but as he attacks, Seiya blocks the technique and counters with Meteor of Pegasus, destroying Thanatos' Cloth. Thanatos attacks again, but is finally killed by the Pegasus Comet Punch. Seiya heads for Hades' Tower to save Saori. | ||||

| Hypnos stands in Seiya's way, but is unable to stop him and Seiya continues towards the tower. Ikki fights Hypnos but is tossed aside. Shun stops Hypnos with his Nebula Chain, as it changes into the Andromeda God Cloth covering his body. Ikki takes the chance to go and help Seiya. Hypnos uses Eternal Drowsiness to lull Shun into a deep sleep. Before Hypnos can kill Shun, Hyoga and Shiryu also awaken their Cygnus and Dragon God Cloth. Seiya finally arrives at Hades' Temple and finds Saori, with the urn almost completely red. Seiya tries attacking the urn, but Hades' soul appears, telling him to give up and that his attacks will come back to him if he launches them. Hypnos tries to make Hyoga and Shiryu fall asleep, but they avoid it, and team up to destroy the God of Sleep, allowing Shun to wake up. Ikki arrives to help Seiya, but after he is attacked, he is exposed to Athena's blood, which awakens the Phoenix God Cloth. Both Saints attack the urn, but are unable to break it. Ikki notices Hades' soul surrounding the Tower, deducing that Hades' body is located there. As Hypnos dies, he warns the Saints to stop Hades from entering his body, otherwise the world will come to ruin. Before Seiya and Ikki reach the body, it's too late. Hades' soul enters his own body, and the God of the Underworld resurrects, setting his sights on Athena, trapped in the urn. After easily repelling Seiya and Ikki's charge, Hades then unsheathes his sword. | ||||

| Hades tries to slash Athena, but Ikki gets in the way, getting injured in the process. Believing humans will ruin the Earth further, Hades swears to destroy humanity. Shiryu, Hyoga and Shun arrive and all five Bronze Saints combine their signature moves, but it's useless as they are pushed back, yet Hades is injured. Hades is shocked because Seiya resembles another Pegasus Saint that injured him during the previous Holy War. Hades attacks and shows the Saints the Grand Eclipse is near completion. Everyone thinks hope is all lost, but Seika senses that her brother and his friends won't lose so easily. Suddenly, Seiya and the Bronze Saints are protected by energy spheres, made by Saori, allowing them to return to Earth. Saori awakens, recovering her blood. Seiya hands Athena her Cloth, and once she dons it, she breaks the urn and prepares for the final battle against Hades. Both gods question each other's opinions on humanity, with Saori siding with the humans. Hades moves in for the kill, but Seiya launches his Meteor of Pegasus, injuring Hades further. However, Hades' sword pierces Seiya's chest, rendering him out cold, and his Cosmo is disappearing. Saori, Shiryu and the others mourn their friend's defeat, but Saori questions Hades if he knows what love is, saying how strong it can be. Shiryu and the others come back, burning their Cosmos uniting it with Athena's. Saori's scepter pierces Hades' body, killing him. As Hades' Temple and the Elysium Fields crumble, the Grand Eclipse has been extinguished, with the sun shining again upon the world and its inhabitants. Miho, Shunrei, Julian and Sorrento look up at the sky with joy. Jabu, Ban, Ichi, Nachi, Geki, Marin, Shaina, Kiki and Seika are anxious to see Seiya again. Shiryu, Hyoga, Shun and Ikki carry Seiya's body and return with Saori to a world filled with light, as the Holy War between Athena and Hades has ended, forever. | ||||
