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...

-Stop! -Die, Andromeda!

BLOOD ROSE!

NEBULA STORM!

[attacked gasp]

[scream]

[impact]

Cleo...

your people have faithfully recorded the history of Sanctuary

since the age of myths.

But now...

Instead of staying out of history and merely chronicling it,

you've chosen to assist Athena and turn against me.

Why?

Am I evil?

I am only a historian.

It's not my role to judge good and evil.

Then you leave me no other choice.

What is done is done. However...

When I saw the passion in the eyes of Pegasus Knight Seiya. I took action.

I could no longer cloister myself,

apart from the world, hoping to keep my hands clean.

[sigh]

They say that justice carries a heavy price.

You once kept yourself neutral, transcending beyond good and evil.

For that, I valued you more than anyone else in Sanctuary.

Ironic that you, of all people, must die at my hand

to further my great cause.

[pained groaning]

Grand Master?

[pained groaning]

Cleo... There is another way.

You do not need to stay on any one path.

Find your own way. A path forward...

Now go!

[gasp of recognition]

Just a dream. No. A telepathic message.

Grand Master...

The war between the gods, repeats again.

The last war spawned tales of heroes from across space and time.

If I am to record this history, I will need to live it.

'Til we meet again.

[groan]

It's no use...

My senses are fading...

[groan]

Everyone helped me get this far,

but... I can't...

dammit...

[weak breathe]

Hmm... [gasp]

[attacked cry]

[Jamian] And where do you think you're going?

The Silver Crow Knight. Jamian.

First you defy the Grand Master's orders. And now you're trying to run away.

The complexities of history... You wouldn't understand.

You think I'm stupid?

The weakest dogs really do bark the most.

I'm gonna make you eat those words!

DARK WING FLASH!

What? Ryu-sei-ken?!

Hope I'm not intruding.

Not at all, Marin.

[Marin] Jamian... I thought I heard your chicken squawk.

[Jamian] Stay out of this, Eagle Knight!

This woman's a traitor to the Grand Master!

Once I shred her, my failures will be forgiven.

You really are a simpleton.

What did you say?!

If you're with the Grand Master, then you're against me.

I won't allow you to harm Cleo.

Then so be it!

Prepare for your end!

Heh. I'm in a hurry. Let's make this quick.

You dare mock me?! Come, my brothers!

[battle cry]

ULTIMATE DARK WING FLA--Huh?!

EAGLE CLAW FLASH!

[gasp] [pained impact]

Ridiculous. As if a crow ever beat an eagle.

Are you OK?

[Cleo] I'm fine. You have my gratitude, Marin.

What are you up to, Cleo?

[chuckling] Your young student, Seiya.

I cannot help but admire him.

I used to believe those who record history must never intervene in it.

But now he has led me on another path.

[Marin] I see.

[chuckle]

Young people with passionate hearts are about to change the world, aren't they?

Were you not in a hurry?

[Marin] Safe journeys.

Turbulent paths ahead.

For both of us.

[panting] [gasp]

Demon Roses...

Seiya!

Seiya!

Hold on, Seiya! You've come too far to stop now.

[wheeze]

He's inhaled too much of the Demon Rose's poison!

There's no other choice.

Maybe my mask can buy you a few minutes.

Come on, Seiya...

I'll get you to the Grand Master's Chambers,

even if I have to carry you.

I just hope I can survive long enough...

[grunt of pain]

If you die here, you'll never be able to face your friends in the afterlife!

You need to keep moving.

[pained groan]

[gasp]

Patri...

Someone's helping me.

This feels so familiar.

It reminds me of my sister.

It even smells like her.

[struggling]

Patricia?!

Seiya,

No, that voice... Marin! What are you doing here?

Don't talk.

If you inhale any more poison, or get scratched by the thorns,

-you'll die. -[breathing hard]

What?!

So that's why...

Keep the mask on and you should make it.

Whoa... This is your mask?

[gasps] But why?!

[Marin] I told you not to talk.

just get to the Grand Master's Chamber.

You understand?

Ugh... [collapsing groan]

[groan] Marin!

[soft chuckle] I guess I'm not going there with you...

Marin, you're all beaten up! What happened to you?

Seiya, you need to know...

[gasp]

[Marin] the current Grand Master isn't the real Grand Master.

[gasp] Wait, what?!

[Marin] There's no time to waste.

But who did this to you?

[Marin] Don't worry about me. Just go.

Now hurry... S-Sei...

Marin! Marin!

[sigh]

I can't go on at the cost of your life!

[rough breath]

If I'd known these were toxic roses, none of this would have happened.

Hmm...

I have to incinerate them!

Burn, my Cosmo!

I need a miracle!

PEGASUS RYU-SEI-KEN!

Roses, begone!

I did it! My Ryu-sei-ken blasted them away.

And now that they're gone, we're closer than we thought!

Right, Marin? Huh?!

Her mask slipped...

Now I can see who she...

No, I can't!

This is wrong!

If Marin is my sister, there has to be some reason she hasn't told me!

Besides, right now, I have to take down the Grand Master

and save Athena.

[Shaina] That's right, Seiya.

Shaina...

Plus if you'd peeked at Marin's face, she'd beat the living crap out of you.

I'll take care of Marin.

Hurry. There isn't much time left! Now go!

Right. Thank you, Shaina!

[noticing]

I'm sorry about Cassios...

He died well... right?

Seiya... this battle will be over soon.

and you're the one who needs to end it.

I'm sure that's what Marin would want... so don't you dare die.

[smile]

[panting]

I finally made it! The Grand Master's chambers!

The one who caused all this evil is in there.

Hold on Sienna. Just a little bit longer!

[panting]

What is this?!

It's like both the darkness and the light are after me.

I've felt this before.

[kicking effort]

[gasp]

The Grand Master!

Seiya. I'm impressed that you made it this far.

[surprised gasp]

What? You're the Grand Master?!

You made it through all twelve houses.

You've proven that all Knights of Athena are truly brave and powerful.

[upset]

Drop the good-guy act. It's way too late for that!

Sienna has moments left to live!

You're coming with me to the bottom of the hill,

even if I have to drag you there!

And you're gonna take that god-killer arrow out of Sienna's chest!

[attacking yell]

[puzzled gasp]

What the...

[grunt]

I am sorry, Seiya,

but not even I can remove the god-killer arrow.

You're lying. You tried to kill Sienna!

And all my friends died because of you!

PEGASUS RYU-SEI-KEN!

Grrr. I didn't come all this way for you to just stand there!

[gasp]

What?

The Grand Master is crying?

Seiya, the things I've done are unforgivable.

But I, the Grand Master, am actually...

No. No time for confessions.

We don't have one second to spare if we hope to save Athena's life.

So you're saying you will come with me and pull out the god-killer?

No, as I said, I'm unable to draw out the arrow.

Then what are we supposed to do?

Listen to me, Seiya.

Beyond these chambers lies the Temple of Athena,

where a statue of the goddess has stood since the age of myths.

Temple of Athena?

In ancient times, she held a statue of Nike,

goddess of victory, in her right hand.

In her left hand, she held a shield.

These are the relics of Athena!

However, the Nike figure is now gone.

Twenty years ago, Aiolos took it, along with the infant goddess.

You might say that Athena was protected by Nike and the Sagittarius armor.

Wait... are you saying Nike is...

Yes, you've seen it.

Nike can change shape,

but it's always held in the goddess's right hand.

I see it! So that's it!

Yes, and true to her name,

Nike leads the Knights to victory.

And then there is the shield of justice in her left hand...

This shield can repel any evil attack!

You see, Seiya? It's not I,

but the shield that has the power to...

[pained cry]

[groan]

What's wrong, Grand Master?

[ragged breath] Get to the Temple of Athena.

Then point the shield in Athena's direction.

If you do, the arrow in the goddess's chest will vanish without a trace.

H-Hurry!

Grand Master?! Are you alright?

What's happening to you?

Forget about me! Quickly, Seiya! Go! [wheeze]

Right! I'll get the shield! Then I'll be back!

Stop.

[gasp]

You're not getting that Shield.

Huh? Grand Master?

What in the world is going on?

Die, Seiya!

[gasp]

[scream]

Seiya!

[puzzled]

[Shaina] Welcome back, Marin.

Shaina?

Where's Seiya?

Gone. To the Grand Master's chambers.

So it's begun...

What's with all your bruises? What happened to you?

I... found something on Star Hill.

The body of the Grand Master.

He was murdered... a long time ago.

What? The Grand Master's dead?

Then... who is Seiya going to fight?!

[evil chuckle]

Fool. Like I would allow you to violate the Temple of Athena!

[pained groan] What the hell?

The Grand Master was begging for forgiveness,

now... it's like he's a god possessed by a demon.

Which one is the real Grand Master?

Once I slay Athena and regain the Nike that Aiolos stole,

I will be invincible!

The Nike puts total victory in my grasp,

and the Shield of Athena can block any attack from gods or demons!

With these two items, I will be the equal of Poseidon, of Hades, or even Zeus!

And I will rule this world in my own right!

N-No way... You can't do this!

Take this!

PEGASUS RYU-SEI-KEN!

[gasp]

That's the same necklace that Shaun gave me!

The one that controlled the Gold Gemini Armor!

[evil chuckle] So I guess there's no use hiding it anymore!

[exhale]

Come and clothe me, my Armor!

[gasp]

What?

The Gemini Armor!

It can't be...

That means the Grand Master is...

[surprised] [growl]

I'll crush you like a worm between my fingers.

For I am Saga, the Gold Gemini Knight!

[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 ?
