It is said thatndred 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.

Why did you come to Star Hill?

Who are you?

Crystal Wall!

Surprised to see me, Genet?

Master Daedalus?

You're alive?

Who's that?

My master, Daedalus,

the Silver Cepheus Knight.

But he's...

Master?

Genet?

Why did you come back?

Your Cosmo, i-it disappeared!

Genet, it's too late for me.

The Grand Master has a secret.

Go to...

Star Hill.

No, no, no, no, no!

Y-You can't die like this!

I need you to teach me!

No, Master, please don't die!

I'm glad...

you grew up to become...

a fine person.

I'm proud of you.

Master?

Master!

You can't stop me. I'm going too.

You will be killed.

I am ready to risk my life.

You're alive!

Genet!

What is this?

Noisy brat.

Watch out!

Kiki!

Who the hell are you?

Silence, child.

I am your master.

You and Shaun were my students,

but you were definitely the inferior one.

Shaun easily surpassed you, and you couldn't accept that.

How pathetic.

Master?

You were a burden,

a pupil with no follow-through,

a ball of inferiority complexes.

You are a failure.

Shut your mouth!

You're not my master!

Is that all you've got?

You try to hide it, but you can't face the truth.

You're worthless, incapable of anything.

You have no business being a Knight.

Die here and now!

Cepheus Demolition Hammer!

Hah!

Misbegotten whelp.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

Maybe I'm not capable of anything.

But even though Shaun hated the idea of fighting,

she was determined to square up and face her destiny

when she went to fight in the Galaxian Wars.

If she could do it...

Huh?

...then so can I.

Hah!

Pretentious fool.

I will erase you along with your dreams!

Cepheus Demolition Hammer!

Hah!

Rainbow Whip Lash!

What?

Gotcha, fake Master.

Well done, Genet.

You saw the truth with your own eyes.

Master?

That inner strength...

I always knew you would find it.

Master, please don't go!

It's all right.

Now I have no regrets.

I'm proud of you, Genet.

I'm glad you...

were my student.

Kiki!

What happened?

Eh?

You beat him?

What, are you surprised?

Well, how do I say this?

I mean, I guess you're a real Knight after all.

Yeah, you're right. I am kinda awesome.

Nah, you're not,

The Virgo Temple.

Gold Knight Shaka will be waiting for us.

Aiolia said that Shaka is almost a god.

He also warned us not to let him open his eyes.

Is this going to be like the House of Cancer?

Filled with the scent of death?

If it is, we'll be ready.

Let's go.

What kind of temple is this?

It's like Heaven.

Is this why they call him closest to a god?

Must be.

Do you feel that Cosmo?

It's really powerful, but also gentle.

It has to be the Cosmo of Virgo Shaka.

We need to keep going.

Sienna doesn't have much time.

Virgo Shaka.

Is that his Cosmo?

I've never seen anything so bright.

He's no less a god.

It doesn't look like he wants to fight, does he?

Let me talk to him.

Be careful, Long.

It's said that Shaka, the Gold Virgo Knight,

is so magnanimous and insightful

that he can see through human nature.

We have come to aid our goddess, Athena.

We need to see the Grand Master and ask him

to take out the god-killer arrow in her heart.

Will you allow us to pass through?

Sir?

Virgo Shaka?

I'm gonna take your silence as a yes, Shaka.

Seiya, wait!

-Seiya! -Seiya!

Are you okay?

Show some respect, impudent children.

You barge into my temple, the House of Virgo,

and desecrate the peace I create for the world?

Now I get it.

You're no different than the other Gold Knights.

So you're not almost a god.

You're just another old man who can't see the bigger picture!

On your guard, Shaka!

Lúshan Shenglóng bà!

I'm not done yet.

What? What is this?

A wall of air is stopping my fist.

Your puny punch may be able to cause a backflow,

but Lúshan's great waterfall

isn't all that impressive, you know.

Soon this wall of air will penetrate your armor

and rip the flesh from your fist,

and after that, it will attack your bones.

They'll be pulverized,

and you'll be left with a stump.

Long!

He's strong, just like Aiolia said.

I may be the most godlike of the 12 Gold Knights,

but there is one thing the gods possess which I do not.

The gods have mercy towards the weak.

I shall say a requiem for you now,

as you are banished into the Realm of Starvation.

What is that?

It looks like a miniature Cosmo.

He's about to attack.

Ohm.

Tenma Koufuku!

Look at you.

I've barely used any of my strength.

I'm amazed that Knights of your feeble abilities

made it this far.

I can only conclude that the Gold Knights before me

betrayed the Grand Master.

How charming.

Nebula Chain!

What? My chain stopped.

What's happening?

How does it feel to be strangled by your own chains?

How miserable.

Now depart in peace.

Wha?

Was I spattered?

No. Something came flying through the air.

A feather?

This is what wounded my finger?

That's right, Shaka.

But because you hurt my friends,

I'm going to make you bleed

from a lot more than just your finger.

Is that...

Nero!

Phoenix Nero.

Do you realize what terrible retribution

you shall suffer for wounding me?

Don't know. Don't care.

That's what I thought.

Look at your feet.

The Pond of Blood Hell.

What?

How did all this blood come from a little scratch?

Is this some kind of illusion?

It's no illusion.

It's divine retribution.

There's only one way you can be saved,

and that's by kneeling at my feet.

Press your forehead to the ground, and worship me.

No!

You want me to worship you as a god?

Of course.

If you do, you may stand a chance of surviving.

No! Big Brother, get out of there!

There's no use struggling.

Nero is dead.

Nero!

-Huh?

What is this?

The heat from Nero's Cosmo is drying up my blood.

Unfortunately for you, Shaka,

I don't believe in gods or Buddhas.

I only trust one thing in this world,

my own strength.

So it seems you have matured a little since we last met.

What do you mean, "since we last met"?

You don't remember, but I once spared your life, Nero.

What?

I remember.

I was helpless and at his mercy.

He could have killed me.

You underestimate me! Eat this!

What? How did you do that?

My head!

I'm leaving now.

You will forget everything that happened here,

and my name will also be gone from your memory.

Wait!

I told you that day that you would forget

everything about your encounter with me,

but I also told you that if there ever came a time

when you stood before me as my enemy,

you would relive that memory together with your fear.

Tenjho Tenge Yuigadokuson!

What?

What's in my head?

Could Shaka really be the reincarnation of a Buddha...

or a god?

I can't move.

Nero, choose one of the six realms of existence

I'm about to show you.

The realm you choose shall be your eternal home.

Rikudou Rinne.

Rikudou Rinne...

the Six Paths of Transmigration.

Based on the laws of karma,

humans will be sent down one of these paths.

The Realm of the Damned,

a sea of fire, a mountain of needles,

endless terror.

Those who go here fall for eternity, writhing in agony.

The Realm of Starvation.

Your body shall wither to skin and bones,

and your belly shall become bloated and distended.

Hunger will lead you to feed on carrion forever.

The Realm of Beasts,

a world in which the strong eat the weak.

If you want to kill your opponent, you kill him.

If you want to devour him, you devour him.

A bestial world.

-The Realm of the Demigods,

blood and carnage.

You will be forced to fight without rest for all eternity.

-The Realm of Men...

an unstable world whose inhabitants are slaves to emotion,

unable to devote themselves to either good or evil.

Last, the Realm of Heaven.

It is called Paradise,

but at any moment, you can slip and fall

into the Realms of Beasts, Starvation, or the Damned.

Now that you're dead,

where did you fall to, Nero?

I suspect you chose either the Realm of the Damned

or the Realm of the Demigods.

Nero.

All is finished.

Shaka is invincible.

Finally Phoenix Nero is gone.

It cannot be.

That was close.

Hmm?

Phoenix Phantom!

Nero!

Hmm.

Could he truly be immortal, like the phoenix?

The Six Paths of Transmigration sent you to Hell,

and yet you still live.

They thought I was too difficult, so they kicked me out.

What?

I've lived and died at the bottom of Hell.

Your psychological attacks are useless against me.

No matter how much Hell you show me, I've already seen it.

Now it's your turn.
