Original subtitles

[narrator] It is said that every several hundred years,

the goddess Athena is reincarnated.

And now a new Athena has been born into this world,

but, this time, under a dark prophecy that she will lead mankind to ruin.

The warriors who protected the goddess Athena were known as Knights.

Today, a new generation of Knights control the fate of the world.

They are called the Knights of the Zodiac.

[narrator] Previously on Saint Seiya...

The one who dons this mask may travel to the Land of the Dead.

Your very existence is a sin!

Sienna!

Come back to us!

Siennaaa!!

-Hey! -What the heck?!

This cannot be!

[Long] The Gold Sagittarius Armor?!

Grand Master, Sagittarius Aiolos reporting.

Gemini Saga reporting, Grand Master.

[Aiolos] Did you have need of us?

[Grand Master] Thank you for coming.

There is something I wish to discuss with both of you.

As you know, after being gone for centuries,

the goddess Athena has been reincarnated.

I am old and will not live much longer.

-[gasp] -Thus, I have called you here.

In order to assemble the next generation of Knights,

to fight in the battle of the gods alongside Athena,

I must appoint a new Grand Master

Sagittarius Aiolos,

I hereby name you the new Grand Master.

What? Me, Grand Master?

[Grand Master] Virtue, wisdom and valor. You possess all three.

You can help Athena and her Knights grow into fine warriors.

Thank you, Grand Master...

[Grand Master] And Saga...

Yes, Grand Master?

Lend Aiolos your strength,

and do all you can for the sake of Sanctuary.

Understood?

I've always believed a Gold Knight as virtuous as Aiolos

should be the next Grand Master.

I will do all I can

and offer my life in the service of Athena and justice.

Thank you Saga...

[Saga] The armor of the Silver Crater Knight.

A legendary armor from the previous war.

They say it's as powerful as a Gold Knight's armour.

[Saga] And if you gaze upon the water in Crater's cup,

you see the future.

The ritual of Olympus, handed down from ancient times.

Now we hold a service of the goddess's birth.

Silver Crater Armor! Reveal what fate grips us...

Our world... destroyed...

It can't be...

[Saga] Athena...

is the goddess of destruction?!

It all started with that prophecy.

Aiolos... you fool..

No matter.

The Gold Sagittarius Armor may have returned, but he is gone...

Now, the Silver Crater Armor...

Aiolos, where did you hide it?!

The ninth temple, the House of Sagittarius.

The palace guarded by Aiolos.

He was the one who saved Sienna twenty years ago.

My Master told me stories about Sagittarius Aiolos.

Pure and forthright, a true warrior.

And a model for all Knights to aim for.

He must've been an amazing person. Wish I could've met him.

C'mon, we have to hurry!

[Shaun] Nobody's here?

Where'd the Gold Sagittarius Armor go? I swear I saw it fly this way.

I don't know, but if there's no one here, then there's no reason to stay.

Let's keep moving.

Right!

Augh?!

It's... some sort of wall.

[grunt]

What is this thing?!

[Long] How are we going to get through?

Dammit! It's no use...

[sigh] That didn't go so well...

I thought this temple would be easy to get through!

[Magnus] Well, at least it allowed me to catch up.

[panting] [softly chuckle]

Magnus!

I'm glad... I'm so glad...

Me too, but you're back at a bad time

we have need to figure out how to get thru this barrier.

Okay, but there is something bothering me.

What's wrong?

I was thinking about Aiolos, and wondering...

if he did the right thing.

What are you saying, Magnus?!

If Aiolos hadn't saved Sienna, she'd be--

[Magnus] The Knights came together under the Grand Master because of the prophecy

that Athena would cause the end of humanity.

Aiolos was supposed to be a leader among the Knights.

So why did he suddenly betray them?

[upset]

When you put it that way, you're right. It doesn't make sense.

There has to be something going on

between Aiolos, the Grand Master, and Athena that we don't know about.

[Magnus] Agreed.

Just gives us more reason to ask the damned Grand Master to his face!

You're right... Huh?

Is that...?

!?

What?! You're... Aiolos, is that you?

[pained impact yells]

Why's he attacking us?!

We're Knights of Athena! We're trying to save her!

So Aiolos...really is our enemy!

No... something isn't right...

[gasp]

[surprised gasp]

-[pained grunt] -AHHH [pained]

[groan]

Where am I?

[surprised]

My armor!

Aiolos! Why are you blocking my way?

Are you really our enemy like Magnus said?

Say something! Answer me!

[pained cry]

[frustrated growl] What is going on?!

If that's how you want it, then I'm ready!

[battle cry]

[Long] My master accepted you as a true Knight.

With all due respect, I would like you to tell me the truth.

It seems Knights have no need for words.

Then to earn your respect, I'll have to use my ultimate technique.

LUSHAN SHENG-LONG-BA!

[surprised] [groan]

You're... overwhelming...

But you've made it clear what I have to do.

I, Dragon Long, need to forge a path for my friends!

I won't waste anymore time!

This will finish you.

LUSHAN SHENG-LONG-BA!

Why are you testing us like this? I don't want to fight you.

Why?! Please answer me!

[surprised]

[attacked cry]

[moan in pain]

There has to be some reason you can't talk...

Doesn't matter... I can't let myself lose here!

My fists aren't for me. They're to save my friends!

So I'll use my fists to take you down!

[battle cry]

[pained grunt]

[attacking effort]

[gasp]

This is... the House of Sagittarius. Was all that an illusion?

It would appear so.

Long!

Look at that torch.

[Long] What was Aiolos trying to do?

[Shaun] No idea... but I guess this means we've been accepted?

[Long] Apparently.

When I recovered, a flame lit up on that other torch.

There are two left. Seiya and Magnus...

[affirmative nod]

[attacked yell]

I feel sadness coming from each of his attacks.

It doesn't make sense...

Why didn't you obey the Grand Master's decision?

What happened to you? Answer me!

No, no...stay calm...

Master Camus taught me to stay cold...

My friends saved my life

and I'll give up my life for the sake of my friends!

For Athena!!

KHOLODNYI SMERCH!

[Shaun] Magnus!

I feel Aiolos has something that he's trying to tell us.

But what is it?

The third torch. The only one left now is Seiya...

[frustrated]

[short cry of surprise]

[groan]

Take this!

[attacking yell]

[attacked cry]

[attacked cry]

Damn it!

You saved me before, didn't you?!

Don't tell me you're my enemy now.

Fine. I can get to the Grand Master's chambers without your help.

Because I've got friends with me so we can rise together!

And I'll save Sienna with them!

[battle cry]

PEGASUS RYUSEI-KEN!

Whoa...

-[Magnus] Seiya! -Seiya! You're back!

Yeah, looks like we all made it back safe.

[Long] Which means all the torches should be lit...

[Magnus] I think Aiolos was trying to tell us that we have to fight as one...

[short cry of surprise]

[surprised] [gasp]

What is that?!

That's the Crater Armor!

It was hidden here in the House of Sagittarius.

Did Aiolos...

Is that what Aiolos was trying to tell us?

So this is the armor shows prophecies?

It should... Take a look.

[Shaun] The world... it really is... taken by darkness...

It's just like what Mu showed us...

Why is Aiolos showing us this again?!

Hold on! There's more.

[Magnus] Whoa...

There was more to the end of the prophecy!

The apocalypse gets stopped.

Which means Athena's not the goddess of destruction.

But the Gold Knights only saw the part where Athena fails

and the world is destroyed...

That's why my Master was forced to side with the Grand Master.

[Long] How could the Gold Knights not know the rest of the prophecy?

Might be because someone didn't want them to see it.

But who would want to do that?

At least now we know the truth.

There's light at the end of this battle!

Right! I knew Sienna would never lead the world into darkness.

We have to save her and prove that to everyone!

Yeah!

[Long] The Crater Armor is gone...

Huh?

[Shaun] Is that?!

[Long] The Sagittarius Armor!

Not again!

[Long] Something's behind that broken wall!

[Shaun] Are those... Greek letters?

[Magnus] They seem to be the last words of Aiolos.

The Sagittarius Armor wasn't aiming at Seiya.

It was showing us the writing in the wall.

[Aiolos] To the youths who have come to this place...

I entrust Athena to you...

Aiolos

"I entrust Athena to you..."

"I entrust Athena to you!"

"I entrust Athena to you!"

"I entrust Athena to you!"

What's happening? Why am I crying?

What's this warm feeling that's welling up from inside of me?

This sensation... It feels like it's healed my wounds.

Aiolos has been waiting for us all this time...

His wishes and hopes are contained in these words...

[Long] Master Dohko taught me an old Chinese proverb:

the friend you would entrust your child to after you die?

That is a true friend!

[Seiya] Aiolos is entrusting Athena to us...

[Shaun] He entrusted us with the most precious thing of all...

[Magnus] That means he sees us as true Knights...

Aiolos! I renew my promise to you!

We swear we will protect the life of the goddess!

Three Houses until we reach the Grand Master's chambers

and we don't have much time.

Even if only one of us makes it,

the survivor has to drag the Master out and save Athena's life!

It would've been impossible for any of us to make it this far alone.

I'm grateful for my brother...

and everyone else who've helped us along the way.

We're here because we worked together and gave it everything we have.

But no matter what happens, none of us are allowed to die.

We are one, born in the same age, sharing the same hot blood,

in this eternal galaxy of swirling stars!

You're damn right!

Hang in there, Sienna! I promise we'll save you!

[Cleo] Aiolos... you burned your Cosmo to its fullest,

devoting all to the Knights and Athena.

In the long annals of Sanctuary, there is no one that equals you.

You are the truest of Knights.

And you will never be forgotten.

Aiolos...

[Aiolos] Aiolia...

I've caused you nothing but trouble...

However...

I always had faith that you would understand my path, little brother.

The Bronze Knights have taken up my torch.

Please help them...

I'm glad I was able to speak to you one last time.

Stay strong... little brother...

[ballad playing]

? Believe me, I'm speechless ?

? I wish that I could say ?

? Those words You whispered so sweetly ?

? And maybe I'll regret this ?

? But I've gotta be honest ?

? 'Cause we made a promise ?

? I won't break it now ?

? I wish I could hold you ?

? But how could I be so unfair ?

? To lead us to nowhere? ?

? We've both been down that road before ?

? And if this should end us ?

? Please know that I'm helpless ?

? I've made up my mind ?

? It's not that I don't feel ?

? The feelings you do ?

? It's just my heart's not ready yet ?

? For something so soon ?

-? Oh, no, no ? -? Yeah ?

? It's just my heart's not ready yet ?

-? Ain't ready ? -? For somebody new ?

? No ?

? Yeah ?

? Oh ?
