Original subtitles

When evil threatens the world,

the warriors of hope will always appear.

Garbed in Cloths of the constellations,

they fight by exploding the energy within them:

their Cosmo.

They are the warriors who

protect the love and peace of the world...

The Saints!

Saint Koga's journey to find Athena continues.

At the Palaestra, a training facility for Saints,

he learns that she is in the Sanctuary's Temple of Athena.

Could Athena truly be there?

Meanwhile,

apprentice Saints continue to gather at the Palaestra.

Young men, let the Cosmo in your hearts burn!

It wasn't for that long, but thanks for everything.

If I go to the Sanctuary, I can find some clue about Saori-san.

What?

It isn't time to depart yet.

Your light has yet to awaken.

Pegasus.

Hey, wait!

What does that mean?

Hey!

The Hero's Son! Ryuho vs. Koga!

The Hero's Son!

Ryuho vs. Koga!

You tried to leave the Palaestra?!

If the teachers find out, you'll be in huge trouble!

It'll be worse than a mere suspension.

He just sighs!

More importantly, who was that guy?

If he could use his Element without his Cloth,

he must be pretty good.

Good morning.

Morning.

Good morning.

Morning.

That teacher's pretty loud.

Nope. He's just a student.

Isn't he way too old?!

Yeah...

Hydra Ichi.

He fought alongside Geki-sensei back in the day.

Supposedly, he came here because he couldn't find his Element.

Kinda sad.

Hey!

Your infurnating...

No...

infuriating way of speaking pisses me off!

Hey, you new?

I see.

I guess I'll have to show you how things work around here.

Sorry...

I'm too busy to talk to you now, old man.

O-Old man?!

I'm looking for someone.

So you really did return.

That's him!

Ryuho?

It's Ryuho!

Hello, everyone.

Just get back today, Ryuho?

Yeah.

So Ryuho was the guy you met?

That explains it!

Ryuho's the son of the famous Bronze Saint,

Dragon Shiryu.

He trained under his father, and inherited the Dragon Cloth.

Dragon...

Nice to meet you, Pegasus.

Pegasus?

My name's Koga.

And what did you mean back there?

Back there?

Oh, exactly what I said.

You haven't awakened yet.

So you should stay here a while longer.

Right?

Let's study together.

Come on.

We'll be late!

Let's begin the lesson.

Oh, Ryuho-kun.

Are you feeling all right?

Yes, Georges-sensei.

My time recovering at home helped.

Are you sick or something?

I've never been too healthy to begin with.

Really?

Be quiet.

No talking.

Now, equip your Cloth on your arm.

Yes, sir!

Aquila Cloth!

Lionet Cloth!

Hydra Cloth!

Just my arm? How does that work?

Try concentrating on the area you want to equip.

Dragon Cloth!

Concentrating... Hmm...

Right arm. Right arm.

Pegasus Cloth!

I did it!

Look!

That is something any Saint is capable of.

Don't make such a fuss over it.

Sorry, sorry.

This is the guy inheriting it?

The Pegasus Cloth is crying.

Let's continue.

What are those?

They're made of an ore, from deep within the earth beneath Greece

called Stardust Sand.

It's almost as hard as a Bronze Cloth.

Prepare to strike.

Ready your Element.

Begin.

Okay, I'll go, too!

Go... Element, go!

It isn't working.

I guess it never really has.

Hey, you've probably never seen so many types

of Elements at once, have you?

N-No...

There are seven Elements.

Fire,

wind,

thunder,

earth,

water...

With one strike.

You're really amazing...

And...

Light and

darkness.

And did you know that each Element has its own

strength and weakness?

They do?

Element attacks. Thunder to wind.

Yes, sir.

Wind is strong against thunder.

Attack.

Wind to flame.

Yes, sir.

And flame is strong against wind.

Each Element has

something it's strong or weak against.

Well, light and darkness are exceptions.

Attack. Water to earth.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

So water is weak against earth?

Sorry! Are you all right?

Some Elements are better against others,

but having a far more powerful Cosmo can negate that advantage.

The Cloths merged with the universe's might,

to become Cloth Stones, increasing their power.

And the Saints entered the new era of Elements.

Without an Element, you can't fight anymore.

I want to master mine as soon as possible!

Keep at it.

I don't want to hear that from you!

So did you gain more strength again?

Ryuho-kun is impressive.

Splendid.

Meanwhile, look at him...

Elements, huh?

Start by spreading your consciousness throughout your entire body.

Sharpen your senses till you can feel every single one of your cells.

And then focus that expanded consciousness on a single point...

and make it explode!

It didn't work.

It appeared that once...

The light.

You're hard at work.

Ryuho.

You gave up on leaving?

I wanna master my Element first.

It'll be fine.

Your spark is still dim,

but I can tell it houses a great light.

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah, thanks.

I haven't attended school in a long time.

Maybe I'm just tired...

But seriously...

If you're that weak,

why are you trying to be a Saint?

To help my father

regain his original state.

When I was young,

my father lost all five of his senses in battle.

That's horrible.

That's what happens when a Saint fights.

But didn't your father train you?

That's right.

My father and I communicated through our Cosmo.

My father's Cosmo brought out my own

and enhanced it.

Cosmo is amazing.

It can facilitate more than communication.

My father said he was once able to

strengthen his Cosmo, to regain sight.

It can do that, too?

So if I can make my Cosmo more powerful,

I'm certain I can bring him back to his original state.

I believe that.

And to do it,

I need a strong Cosmo.

Sorry.

Hey, why did you become a Saint?

I have someone I want to save.

So I need to become stronger.

I need to grow stronger and save Saori-san.

Saori-san?

He knows Athena's name.

You really are...

You are not allowed to be out past curfew.

Georges-sensei!

Oh, really?

Sorry.

I told you not to address me so disrespectfully.

Unacceptable. You are a bad influence on Ryuho-kun.

No, I'm not...

No excuses.

You both must be punished.

Suspension, perhaps...

I just...

I saw him go out, and I came to stop him.

This morning, he was trying to leave the school.

Hey, that's...

What?

That is a serious problem...

Pegasus,

you will be expelled for leaving school grounds

without permission.

Seriously?

Ryuho, are you seriously...

Sensei,

I do not wish to be punished because of him.

Would you grant me a chance to redeem myself?

What do you mean?

The permission to duel him.

With the winner to be exempted from punishment.

Entertaining.

Dragon versus Pegasus.

What are you thinking?!

I cannot be suspended.

I don't have time to waste.

You're gonna fight Ryuho? That's crazy!

I don't have a choice.

They'll expel me if I don't fight.

I don't think the result would be any different by you accepting the duel.

Don't be so mean!

Hey, any advice on how to beat him?

Fight hard!

That isn't advice!

Given his stamina,

you might do well to get close and fight with your fists.

I see!

Ryuho...

I won't hold back.

Guess I have no choice.

That's the Dragon Cloth!

Both combatants, step forward.

A fight between Pegasus and Dragon?

But why would Ryuho go outside the school?

That's unlike him.

Hey, did you know?

Dragon and Pegasus fought once before.

Pegasus won then.

And Dragon, my father, lost.

I am glad to have this chance to avenge my father.

I have no idea what the last Pegasus did.

But I will win with my own fists!

Begin!

How?

I can feel your Cosmo's subtle movements.

It's shaking.

It tells me what you will do next.

I can dodge it with minimal exertion.

Why, you...

Ryuho's the better of the two.

What are you doing?!

I can't help it.

Pegasus!

With your inability to access your Element,

you are no match for Ryuho-kun.

I'll win with pure fighting spirit!

Then I shall show you

how a Saint fights.

Why, you...

Suihakkei!

This is the power of the Elements.

He's nuts.

Fighting without an Element...

Koga can't get in close.

That's nothing

compared to how hard Shina-san used to hit me.

Then how about this?

Kyouka Suigetsu!

He's within range!

Too weak.

Even up-close, your attacks cannot hurt me.

I bear the Dragon's shield,

strongest of the Bronze Cloths.

This match is over, then.

Not yet...

I have something I'm fighting for.

I can't spend all my time on you.

And I can't stop here, either!

Let us end it here.

I...

I can not

lose here...

I...

I will find Saori-san!

Light!

Light Element?!

Pegasus

Senkou Ken!

He beat Ryuho?

No way.

Ryuho...

If it weren't for the invincible Dragon Shield,

that would have been bad.

Impressive, Pegasus.

I won't hold back anymore either.

This requires a lot of stamina,

so I can only use it once.

Rozan

Syoryu Ha!

The winner is Dragon Ryuho!

Ryuho...

You deliberately challenged Koga to a duel, didn't you?

So you could draw out Koga's Cosmo and his Element.

My father and Pegasus fought,

but they became friends afterwards,

and strengthened each other's Cosmo.

Saints become stronger when they have friends

to grow alongside them.

Ryuho...

You used a light Element attack.

Your Cosmo shone wonderfully, Koga-kun.

Yours, too.

I was impressed, Ryuho.

So we will let them both off,

in accordance with their splendid fight.

Aren't you looking forward

to a new era of Saints?

So, yeah! You're both off the hook!

Very well.

Hey, did you know?

There will soon be a tournament among the Saints,

the Saint Fight, here at the Palaestra.

The winner gets to meet Athena.

Really?

But you will never win,

unless you can master your Element and Cosmo.

I'll have to train more.

I plan to become stronger before the Saint Fight,

and to win with ease next time.

Nope. Next time, I won't lose.
