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.

Rainbow Whip Lash!

Gotcha, fake Master.

What? What is this?

Your psychological attacks are useless against me.

Now it's your turn.

Nero.

My Phoenix Phantom strikes an enemy's mind.

Not even a god can escape it.

None of your psychological attacks will work on me.

Traces of the Six Paths of Transmigration still linger around you.

What?

Now allow me.

No. Nero, get back.

Huh?

Where are we?

This is the river that runs

between the world of the living and the Underworld.

The River Styx?

Indeed...

where lost children wander forever,

crying for their parents,

piling up stones in grief.

And the Devil comes and knocks over the stones.

So what's your point?

Hmm, who is that over there?

Is that...

It's--It's me...

as a child.

Which means the baby I'm carrying is...

Shaun?

Oh, what a tough road to walk.

Whoa!

Oh, what's happening?

Shaun's getting heavier.

So heavy.

It's like holding a boulder.

It feels like my arms are being ripped out!

If she's too heavy,

why don't you just put her down?

Huh?

Then you'll be free.

The pain will be gone.

If you keep carrying your little sister,

she'll drag you down with her.

Leave her, and save yourself, Nero.

Without your sister, you could escape.

You could fly.

No!

I won't do it.

I'll carry her, no matter what!

There has to be a safe place to rest.

I can help you, Nero,

but you're going to have to leave her behind.

Damn it!

Just a little further.

Leave her, and save yourself.

Save yourself.

Nero!

Shaun?

What did you do?

How did I get caught up in your illusion?

So much power.

And he didn't even open his eyes.

What do you mean?

Aiolia told us not to let Shaka open his eyes.

Open his eyes?

When he opens his eyes,

he's able to release his true, unlimited power.

Then what's his true power like?

Do you see now, Nero?

No matter how hard you fight,

how long you persevere,

there is no safe place for you.

That's enough, Shaka!

I'll shut you up and shut you down!

Shaun!

Pardon the interruption, Shaun.

I'll give you my full, undivided attention in a moment.

Right now, I'm talking to your brother.

You need not worry, Nero.

Your sister will follow you into death.

And since you no longer have use for your Armor,

I'll turn it into ash.

How?

The Phoenix Armor is the strongest of all 88 constellations.

How could you destroy it?

The strongest?

Absurd.

Now, Nero, I'll relieve you of all your burdens.

Rikudou Rinne.

I have to get away from Shaka

so that I can avoid the effects of his Six Paths of Transmigration.

Far enough away so that his Cosmo can't reach me.

A billion degrees.

No, if I leap a quadrillion degrees.

That should do it.

I should be safe here.

What?

What is this?

I'm on Buddha's palm?

I once said you were likealm.

How can one Knightr?

He's not almost a god.

He might actually be one.

You thought you'd escaped my Novemdecillion Degree,

but you didn't go far.

Now accept your death.

You'll have plenty of time to regret your weakness...

in Hell.

If I can't evade you, Shaka,

then I have no choice but to attack.

I'll attack you until I take you down,

no matter how long it takes,

just like the children stacking stones on the riverbank,

never giving up on their hopes!

Fool.

Without your Armor, you're powerless.

Besides, the flames of Hell already surround you.

It's over.

What?

What is this rising from the ashes?

The Phoenix.

The Phoenix Armor is the ultimate Armor.

Even if it dies, the ashes will bring it back to life and fly again.

Yes, the Phoenix Armor has the ability to repair itself,

an ability even the Gold Armor doesn't have.

Do you understand now, Shaka?

Even if you knock me down a million times,

the Phoenix will always rise,

and in the end, I will take you down!

Phoenix Rising!

Your Phoenix Rising is nothing but a gentle breeze to me.

However long it takes, Shaka,

I'll keep attacking until you collapse or until I breathe my last breath.

Last breath?

I can arrange that.

The Hell, you will.

Phoenix Rising!

Phoenix Rising!

I'm not finished, Shaka!

Phoenix Rising!

Damn it.

My ultimate attack didn't even faze him.

His power's overwhelming,

even with his eyes closed.

If he opens his eyes, there'll be no way to take him down.

Nero...

it was a mistake to drop the body of someone like you

into the Six Paths of Transmigration.

Wha?

I need to break your soul first

so you won't be able to come back to life,

with my ultimate attack...

Tenbu Hourin.

Tenbu Hourineasure,

the truth of the universe,

a world of perfect harmony and equilibrium.

Now that you've been ensnared in it,

you can neither attack nor escape.

It's the perfect offensive and defensive move.

-Huh? -Now, Nero,

Heaven's Treasure will shut down your five senses.

Shaka's...

Shaka's opened his eyes.

My-- My hands.

-My arms.

My legs.

My whole body's going numb.

I can't move.

Your sense of touch is gone.

What?

You can no longer move,

much less throw a punch.

Next, your sense of smell.

Having trouble breathing?

Now you can't even smell the enemy.

Which of your senses should I destroy next?

Wait.

What? Do you want to beg for your life?

Shaka, you have such incredible power.

People call you the Knight who's closest to being a god.

Why would a man like you still serve the Grand Master?

Oh, I get it.

You're intimidated,

terrified of the prophecy.

Nonsense.

You don't want to admit it.

Fear doesn't exist in me,

and I don't believe in the prophecy.

I know you do.

You like being called closest to a god.

You're afraid, afraid of what the gods have destined for us.

Ah, now I know what to take next.

Can't speak, eh?

I've paralyzed your tongue.

And now that you've lost your sense of taste,

the only senses you have left are sight and sound.

Which one should I destroy next?

You still don't know when to give up.

I can see it in your eyes.

Now all that's left is your sense of sound,

and while you can still hear,

I'll answer your question.

I see only justice in the Grand Master.

That's why I continue to serve him.

And now, Nero...

for your last sense...

your sense of hearing.

You've lost all five senses

and have fallen into a world of nothingness.

You can detect nothing of the world around you.

You're nothing but a living corpse.

The flame on Virgo has gone out.

There's only six hours left.

Bronze Knights of Athena, I still have faith in all of you.

This is the end.

This will be an act of mercy to finish you off

by banishing you forever.

Rikudou Rinne.

You again?

I won't let you kill my big brother.

I'll take you on, Shaka.

What hope do you possibly have against me?

His eyes.

Impossible.

Nero!

Shaun, if you can hear my heart's voice, step aside.

Brother?

Even with my senses destroyed,

I'll take Shaka down. He's mine.

But you're...

Shaun, this is my fight,

and my fight's not over yet.

But...

No.

You can't...

Shaun...

Nero.

Ah.

I didn't think even you would give up that easily.

If it were up to me, I would fight,

but it seems my brother isn't done with you yet.

Unfortunately, Nero can no longer fight.

Without his senses, he's a living corpse.

Even so, he'll never accept defeat.

Fine. If this is what you want,

you can watch your brother die.

This is the end, Nero.

He's blocking my attack.

How can he be doing this?

I see.

Your last vain act of resistance.

The Phoenix Phantom attacks both the body and the mind.

Although your senses are gone, your brain is still unharmed.

Very well, then.

I'll destroy the last weapon left to you,

your brain, your sixth sense.

Tenbu Hourin.

No!

Big Brother!

He brought this upon himself.

Without his senses, Nero can't feel a thing.

All he has left is a heartbeat...

for now.

Then I'll fight you.

Enough of this.

-Wait. -What?

-Shaun...

I told you I'd defeat Shaka.

What's this?

Shaka and Nero?

I can still hear the voice of my brother's heart.

But how?

Could it be the sense beyond the six senses?

The essence of Cosmo...

the seventh sense!

Impossible.

I took away all of his senses, and yet his Cosmo is expanding.

It's reaching the level of my Cosmo.

But how?

Shaka, you yourself gave me the idea.

What?

When you kept your eyes closed,

it allowed you to expand your Cosmo.

You raised your power by voluntarily cutting off one of your six senses.

It allowed you to focus, strengthen your Cosmo.

But when you open your eyes, all your power bursts out,

unleashing Tenbu Hourin,

so I let you erase all of my six senses.

Impossible.

It was the only way I could focus and strengthen my Cosmo.

Are you saying that you deliberately ensnared yourself?

How else could I defeat a Gold Knight with godlike powers?

And now I'll flare my Cosmo to 10 trillion degrees

and take you with me.

You'll raise your Cosmo beyond its limits and blow yourself up!

Why would you sacrifice your own life?

What value is there in such a victory?

It won't be easy to beat the Knight closest to a god,

not unless I risk my own life.

Stop, Nero. If you keep going,

we're both going to end up burning to ashes.

-No! - Don't move.

But...

-Shaun! -Shaun!

Shaun, this is goodbye.

Go on and fight with all the bravery of a Knight

alongside your friends.

Nero!

Big Brother.

Shaun.

If it's true that people are reborn,

we'll be together again as brother and sister.

I swear it.

Big Brother!

Come on.

The House of Libra is waiting for us.

I can feel it.
