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...

[pained impact yells]

[Aiolos] I entrust Athena to you...

[Seiya] Aiolos! I renew my promise to you!

We swear we will protect the life of the goddess!

[panting]

[gasp]

[panting]

Long, what's wrong

Did you see that?

See what?

Never mind. Let's move.

There's no time to waste.

A shooting star in the Northern Sky...

That's an ominous omen...

The tenth Temple, the House of Capricorn!

We have to charge on through!

I don't sense any Cosmo.

Maybe we won't have to battle as much in here.

[Seiya] Don't let your guard down.

[Long] Look! the exit!

[Seiya] We made it through!

[Magnus] Wasn't there supposed to be a Knight guarding this place?!

[gasp] Everybody, jump!

Wh-What the?!

[gasp] [scream]

Seiya!

Are you okay?

[gasp]

That was too close... Thanks, Shaun.

You gotta be careful...

It wouldn't be real heroic to come all this way,

then end it falling off a cliff.

You're telling me...

-[gasp] Long! -[Seiya and Shaun gasp]

[Seiya] What?! Long is stuck on the other side!

[Shura] Ehm

You told the others to jump, but you didn't.

Are you scared?

If I had jumped, your follow-up attack would've caught us.

Then we would all be dead.

[Shura] Oh. So you stayed here so that the others could escape?

[chuckle] We've got a smart one...

You're going to regret that, kid!

I am the Gold Capricorn Knight Shura!

I killed the traitor Aiolos,

so someone like you should be no problem at all.

You were the one who murdered Aiolos?!

[smirk] The one and only...

[sigh of relief] My goddess is safe...

[gasp]

It's over, Aiolos!

Out of all people, YOU, dare to draw a sword on me?!

Indeed. There was a time when I admired you...

now I'm just disappointed.

No one ever imagined that you would betray Sanctuary.

So I'll be the one to end your sin! Right here, right now!

Don't you ever point your blade at Athena.

Shut your mouth, traitor!

[dying scream]

Aiolos was no traitor.

[chuckle]

[Long] The Grand Master only told you half of the prophecy

but there was more to it.

It showed the possibility of Athena leading the world of light.

What do you mean?

Someone is trying to deceive all of Sanctuary.

[startled] [mocking laugh] Ridiculous.

Aiolos was a Knight of great virtue, wisdom, and valor.

I know that well.

But that doesn't change the fact that he betrayed the Grand Master...

He turned against Sanctuary.

Against all of its Knights. He turned against the entire world.

[frustrated]

It seems we won't be able to agree on this.

So I'll use all my remaining Cosmo along with Aiolos's grief to avenge him.

[Shaun] Looooong!

Long!

We have to keep moving.

If we go back, then we'll all be at risk

and Long's sacrifice will have been for nothing!

You're right. We gotta go.

Right.

Long... This isn't goodbye!

No sign of any Gold Knights so far.

Which is a good thing... Probably?

Maybe HOPEFULLY?

Shaun and the others couldn't have defeated them all, could they?

The House of Aries, Taurus, Gemini,

Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra...

The battles in those temples seem to be over...

Then she has to be in the next one, the House of Scorpio!

And again... nobody's here.

-[Milo] Who's there? -[surprised]

I am Genet, Bronze Chameleon Knight.

A Bronze Knight? One of Magnus's friends?

What is your business?

I... I'm here because I have something urgent to report.

So speak.

The Grand Master is an imposter!

Heh, that is absurd!

It is a waste of my time to listen to such nonsense.

It's the truth!

Her eyes... like Magnus's eyes.

Bronze Knights...

Their eyes...

they give off the true radiance of sincerity...

You may proceed...

Thank you.

I just came here from Star Hill and I saw...

Star Hill?

Entering that place without permission is forbidden, even for Gold Knights.

[Genet] I saw the dead body of the Grand Master.

That's impossible.

Mu and Aldebaran were with me when we found him.

Hmm...

[Genet] Someone evil is pretending to be the real Grand Master.

Please, I ask that you warn the Gold Knights!

Then they can stop fighting Shaun and the other Bronze Knights.

As if that would ever happen...

-You go on ahead. -But what if--

You must tell your friends to hurry.

Right!

[footsteps]

Gold Gemini Knight Saga!

You've been missing for decades!

Now I understand... So what Genet told me was true.

RESTRICTION!

You cannot move now!

What are you trying to do here?! Answer me!

What!?

So that's your answer.

Then I'll have to stop you with force!

SCARLET NEEDLE!

[frustrated]

[surprised]

[grunt]

Heh... Pathetic...

However...I wasn't able to dodge Scarlet Needle..

Scorpio Milo is outstanding, true to his title as a Gold Knight.

I'm fortunate that Cygnus's attack left him frostbitten.

Otherwise I would have lost.

Capricorn Shura should be able to finish off the Bronze children with ease.

After all, in his hand lives the greatest sword ever known...

[Shura chuckles]

You're going to hit me with all of your Cosmo,

along with Aiolos's grief?

You talk a big game, but you lack the strength to back it up!

Ah! [pained]

The shockwave from his hand is incredible.

He cut my leg and the ground along with it...

Surprised?

Here, have some more!

[cry of pain]

[moan in pain] Ugh...

His punches can even split the Earth...

I-It's not a punch, it's a sword slash...

Shura's hand is like a razor-sharp blade!

You finally get it now, kid?

Each of my limbs is as sharp as steel!

I am the strongest of the Gold Knights!

My knife hand is called Excalibur, it can cut through anything.

And it will cut through you next!

I won't go down that easily!

-It's your turn to take a hit, Shura! -[gasp]

LUSHAN SHENGLONG BA!

What?!

-[gasp] -Too slow!

Mere child's play won't work on me!

RISING BOULDER!

[pained]

N-No way... My Shenglongba didn't even faze him...

Now I'll show you mercy and put you to rest...

by cutting off your head!

[attacking yell]

Ugh...

[pained cry]

But the Dragon Shield is the strongest material there is!

Heh. Your Dragon Shield was impressive.

Without it, I would have taken your arm clean off...

Here, I'll slice your Armor off as well!

Ugh!

Aagh!

[groan]

He cut through my Dragon Armor like it was nothing...

Sh-Shura's hand really is Excalibur!

It can cut through anything!

I can't face him head-on...

Have you accepted your fate, Long?

Now that your Armor is gone, this next slice will cut you in half!

HAAH!

[dying scream]

Loooong!!

Shunrei... What's wrong?

Master... I had an awful dream again...

Hmm...

Long... Please... Come home soon.

You cannot die... You must not...

You still have the will to stand?

And you stopped my knife hand with your bare hands!

-[effort] [attacking yell] Hmph! -[Groan in pain]

Impossible! Where was he hiding that sort of power?!

What on earth is happening?!

A dragon?! Appearing on Long's back!

I promise you this, Capricorn Shura!

Even if I'm hacked to pieces, I will not die alone!

You will come with me.

This, I swear!

[frustrated] [groan in pain]

[pained grunts]

[pained grunts]

These attacks...

It's like Long is a different person...

as if he's been possessed by a dragon god!

When the dragon appears on his back...

That must be when Cosmo has filled his body...

[gasp]

Could it be?

Has Long unknowingly awakened the Seventh Sense?!

Shura... You laughed and called my Shenglongba child's play.

But I risked my life to gain this power.

See if you can dodge it again!

You may have increased your Cosmo to a new level,

but you are still blind to your own weakness.

The reason I don't fear your Shenglongba is because it has a flaw.

One that will lead to your death!

When you unleash your attack, you drop your left arm,

if only for a millisecond.

And that leaves your heart completely defenseless!

Go on, try it! I'll stab you right through your heart!

[roar]

-LUSHAN SHENGLONGBA! -[rushing yell]

-[attacking yell] -[reaction]

[Long grunts]

[roar]

[pained cry] Long, you...

[pained] I've known about Shenglongba's flaw

ever since the time Seiya noticed it...

[groan through the pain] Then you exposed your weakness to me on purpose.

[pained]

Brilliant... You lured me in... broke my arm...

I may not have been able to pierce your heart,

but I still hit my mark.

Stay down. If you try to move, you'll bleed out.

What good will it do to get to your feet?

Very well.

Even with my left arm broken, I still have my right and both of my legs!

All sharp as steel!

But you only have the one heart.

You can't unleash Shenglongba and expose yourself again!

Time to die, Long!

[pants with exertion]

This is pathetic, you trying to hang on.

Without your Shenglongba, you have nothing left.

I already told you.

Even if you cut me to pieces, I'll take you down with me...

[gasp]

What?!

How can his Cosmo grow stronger as he stands there dying?!

Master, please forgive me...

You warned me, but I have to do this...

An attack greater than the Shenglongba... the Kanglongba...

Yes. But the Kanglongba is a forbidden move.

Forbidden... I'm really not allowed to use it?

Correct.

The Kanglong is the Ascendant Dragon, rising to the heavens.

But even an ascendant dragon must fall.

For when anything reaches its very zenith,

all that remains is ruin and doom.

You have mastered the Shenglongba to the point of knowing the Kanglongba...

No one on Earth could defeat you now... Not even me.

Th-That can't be.

And yet, it is the truth.

You see, the Kanglongba is a double edged sword.

It can defeat any foe, but will destroy the user as well...

If you use it, you will die!

Listen well, Long. Forget the Kanglongba.

You must never use it...

[attacking effort]

[attacked painted]

What is it inside you... that causes me to tremble?!

A single move, forbidden to me by my Master...

[struggling]

Forbidden by Dohko, the Gold Libra Knight?

Even I don't fully know what happens when I use this move.

But I know one thing...

[frustrated]

You and I are both going to die!

What?! [struggling]

You were wrong earlier, Shura.

I'm not afraid to jump.

Wh-What is this move?!

Master, forgive me for disobeying you.

Seiya, Shaun, Magnus...

I leave Athena in your hands!

LUSHAN KANGLONGBA!

[panting]

The flame of Capricorn went out!

[gasp]

Th-That Cosmo! Is it Long?!

Master! A shooting star in the western sky!

Long... So you used the Kanglongba...

I knew you would...

You live for honor rather than for yourself.

Sacrificing for others...

A splendid thing to live for honor over yourself.

And yet... I am still sad, my dear student...

What you're doing?

If we keep ascending, you will burn us into space dust...

But since I'm wearing Gold Armor, I'll survive longer than you.

With no protection, you're going to die first.

I was prepared to die from the start.

I told you I'd take you along with me.

You fool!

What value is there in victory if you're dead?!

Why are you willing to sacrifice your life just to beat me?!

As a Knight, Shura, you should know the answer.

[frustrated]

This is for the goddess!

What?!

[Long] We've gone this far for Athena... For Sienna.

If she can manage to bring peace to this world...

then my life is a small price to pay...

I can't believe it...

Long, I never imagined there were people like you left in the world...

I believed in the Grand Master and his power...

those who win have the right to call themselves just...

But I was wrong.

I am a failure as a Knight...

let alone a Gold Knight...

Shura...

Long, you must not die.

A man like you must live to fight for Athena,

but it seems I'm too late...

Our bodies will disintegrate soon...

They'll turn to ash and drift the universe forever...

I hope... I pray that we can become stars and protect the goddess...

you and I together, Long...

[sobbing]

[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 ?
