Original subtitles

I just wanna know what my life is for

Winning every match I have to play

I haven't felt like this before

The truth is gonna be revealed today

I really don't have anyone to slay

No need to live this way

Love will fill the world

and it will reign supreme forever!

Saint Seiya, we're calling out for you

Saint Seiya, help us to come through

The nebulae of confusion

The clusters of trepidation

The whirlpools of indecision

Will lead us to the realm of Athena

The distant memories have lost their colors

I open the old artbox silently

My childhood friend was always there,

with an unchanging smile.

Our dreams were drawn

on the heart's canvas

The colors have not yet faded.

Holding hands,

we experience the warmth from the past...

Why do people have love and hate

Were we born like this?

Happiness and sadness are intertwined,

forever shackling our youth.

Episode 16 Gods and Pawns

Saro,

if you don't stop crying, Sir Aldebaran will scold you.

But...

Just because you're a kid, Saro,

doesn't mean you can be spoiled.

We can't forget our pride as Sir Aldebaran's students.

We can't ever...

I'm through trying to be a Saint,

but I'm going to carry on Sir Aldebaran's will.

So, Saro...

Yeah.

Hey, I'm just dropping by.

Sir Dohko!

Go ahead, we're leaving.

Don't worry about me.

Take your time.

I think he'd prefer that.

But my training starts soon.

Yeah?

Um, Sir Dohko...

The rumors say that it was Tenma's fault

Sir Aldebaran died in the Sanctuary.

But...

Tell Tenma...

None of us blame him!

As long as Sir Aldebaran was a Saint,

we, his students, were prepared for that!

Yeah.

I'll tell him.

Excuse us!

You really raised them right.

As you can see,

just one student is too much for me.

Of course, they say that the worse a student is,

the more you like them.

I can't claim I'm not worried about Tenma.

I don't want him out there as bait for Hades.

I didn't make him a Saint for that.

Destiny, huh?

Then I can't take his place.

But someday, if the time comes...

I'm right to think that I'd give my life...

for his sake.

Right, Aldebaran?

So, yeah.

You fight me.

This man...

He annihilated the souls of the corpses.

Who are you?

I really don't want to give my name

to a guy dressed like that, but...

Cancer Manigoldo.

I'm babysitting these kids.

What?

Don't decide that on your own!

Shut up! You're covered in blood!

It wasn't my decision.

They're orders from above.

I wouldn't babysit little kids otherwise.

So, then you're the Pegasus Saint's escort.

Yeah.

But you know,

you smell a bit like our side.

Are you hitting on me?

Sadly, I don't like people like you, who wear too much makeup.

I'm only interested in pretty girls.

You seem like you would have high standards.

But you just said

that you'd be the one to fight me.

No one in those clothes can afford to be picky.

Wait, Manigoldo!

I'll be the one who-

Fine.

I'll do it!

You're an interesting person.

Thanatos.

Things appear to be happening

in the Forest of Death.

Yes.

It seems another foolish insect has arrived.

Veronica is alone in the Forest of Death.

Can we afford to simply sit here?

A human is sufficient to fight humans.

And I've given Veronica power...

Power more than sufficient to destroy insects.

I see.

Then let's see how he fares.

You'll be the one dancing!

They broke through the ground.

With flies?

Gruesome.

Did you know?

The flies around a corpse

are its soul's remnants.

These are my beautiful servants.

At my order,

they can both defend and attack!

Understand, cutie?

You aren't really my type...

But it looks like we're pretty compatible!

That's foxfire?

Balls of foxfire engulfed my servants?

My beautiful servants...

How dare you!

I guess you do look okay from the side.

Here we go!

Acubens!

What? He was weak.

He split him in two?

Which of you is gruesome again?

And we're done.

Hey, Manigoldo.

You're not done yet.

Too bad.

I've been given rule over the Forest of Death.

That won't be enough to kill me.

I'll invite you to a world

where everything melts together!

Huh? Is this bad, maybe?

I shall show you my power,

as ruler of this forest,

filled with the signs of death.

Burial Fort!

What's this?

The forest is rotting!

That's right.

All life rots and becomes one with the world.

This is ultimate stability and ultimate peace.

Creep.

Hey, Unicorn Saint!

Y-Yes?

You didn't die, even when I tore you in half.

You immortal?

Then...

I'll test you out, weirdo!

Yato!

Man, just whatever!

Unicorn Gallop!

That actually worked!

D-Did I do it?

Do you know if I'm immortal now?

Or not?

My Cloth is rotting!

Yato!

Return to the forest!

I see.

Immortal, huh?

Hey, you guys.

Don't rot...

By the time I'm back.

It stopped?

Did he win?

Looks like it's okay, huh?

Manigoldo's gone, too.

This is probably the Praesepe Underworld Waves.

Praesepe Underworld Waves?

The technique the Master used to send us to the Underworld?

Yes, Manigoldo used it

on himself and that guy,

taking his body with him.

They're probably at the gates of the Underworld.

At...

Yomotsu Hirasaka.

I never thought a Saint

would be my escort here.

But I have no idea why you've brought me here.

To Specters, this place is like our backyard.

You've come to your death.

Too bad... You're done for.

Moron.

You're the one who's done for.

Do you think you can defeat me

with those foxfire balls?

Pale blue flame?

This is...

This flame is a demon's fire,

devouring souls to fuel its burn.

No matter how immortal your body,

having been brought here, you're just a soul.

Too bad.

This may be your backyard,

but it's my playground.

Praesepe Demonic Blue Flames!

You sure burn well.

Disappear already.

I told you.

I'm compatible with you.

Veronica...

Lord Thanatos.

You were a Specter,

and even bore part of my divine power.

Yet you lose to a Gold Saint, a single human?

Lord Thanatos, your forgiveness...

He's here!

Take his life before your soul burns away.

As you will.

He can't mean to take me with him!

Cancer Manigoldo's Cosmo just wavered.

This is...

No, no need to worry.

I've given him all my techniques.

He won't die that easily.

To him, living is revenge.

Revenge?

Hades's resurrected armies

destroyed Manigoldo's village.

He saw death up close for so long,

that awe and hatred for death itself

were born in his heart.

When I see him laugh on the battlefield,

I won't let you simply disappear.

with those feelings in his heart,

his face seems both piteous and dear to me.

He's like Tenma.

He lost his village. And his family and friends continued to die.

He looks almost ready

to hate everything and fall apart.

But even so... Even so, Tenma...

That smile of his was so warm.

They struggle against death, against Hades.

Carrying with them many who were taken

and many they must protect.

I want them to live. I truly do.

Yes.

The forest quickly returns to earth.

Did Manigoldo defeat him?

But if he isn't coming back,

does it mean he also perished?

No, he may look like a slacker,

but his skills are the real thing.

Let's hurry on.

Wait!

Yuzuriha, do you know him?

Oh, right. I didn't tell you.

He is the one student of

the Master's younger brother, Sage.

I've met him several times.

Wait, did you just say Sage?

I did.

Sage...

Sage... Sage...

Hey, that's...

Pope Sage?

Yes.

The Master and the Pope are brothers?

The Master is the Pope's older twin.

He's that important?

He didn't look it... Manigoldo didn't.

Then there's no need for us to worry, right?

Yeah!

The path hidden in the forest is visible now.

Yeah.

Tenma, we're almost to the castle of Hades.

Yeah. Let's go!

Thanatos,

you were reckless.

The Pegasus Saint has made it through the forest.

A lecture, Hypnos?

I've never been one for the little tricks you play.

It's all a game.

Humans are just like these pawns.

No need to worry.

If we end up taking care of them ourselves,

it's all over.

You left that hole open in Yomotsu Hirasaka.

Don't you think you're underestimating people?

You're still alive?

Veronica... What a useless pawn.

That last embrace was pretty passionate.

But a weirdo like that isn't enough to seduce me.

Did you come here knowing you'd be

in the presence of gods?

Gods, eh?

Sorry.

So, you're really gods.

I guess it's true that Hades has twins as councilors.

I can't tell the difference at all.

So which of you is the god of death, Thanatos?

I am.

You, huh?

Privately, you're the god

I'd most like to reverently beat the crap out of.

That punch had all my strength behind it...

You can't even break a pawn?

How sad!

In the end, you're just trash.

Pope...

No, Master!

It's all as you predicted.

I'm finally up against

the god of death, Thanatos.

This god believes

human life is worth less than a bug's.

But he's the real thing.

His power is overwhelming.

This is gonna be one hell of a fight!

Next time on Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas -

The Myth of Hades...

Garbage.
