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.

I'll make you pay...

Humans!

This is where we begin to despair, right?

Despair?

Don't use that word so carelessly.

Episode 18 I Only Want You to Live

I give up...

Don't be stupid!

This is nothing like a real battlefield!

Hey, Manigoldo.

Let him go, already.

Stop.

Y-Your Holiness!

Hey, Master.

What do you think?

I've gotten stronger, haven't I?

These guys are wusses.

Wusses... What do you mean?

They don't know true despair.

They couldn't have survived that battlefield,

those hordes of the dead...

Come see me later.

I'll give you some training.

Glad to hear it, Your Holiness.

You're late.

The Pope is taking the time to train me personally.

It's such an honor, I could barely walk.

Your mouth's the only thing about you that's gotten smarter.

So, how are you going to train me?

Want to go to the training ground, Your Holiness?

There's no need for that.

Here?

What are you...

What?

What is this?

Your soul has been separated from your body.

Why don't you tell me about this "despair" you speak of, Manigoldo?

What is this place?

What the hell?

Hey!

What's wrong with you?

Why do you just fall there, without a word?

Hey!

Death.

There are millions of deaths,

one for every person in this endless line.

So if you fall into that hole, you can find peace?

No.

The Underworld waits at the bottom.

It is "Hell."

Hell?

No way...

They died, all beat up like this.

They look like they're still suffering...

And they'll suffer for eternity?

Do you all know what awaits you down there?

Can't we do anything?

Will this go on forever?

Manigoldo!

Manigoldo!

Let her go!

No!

She's already gone!

Even if you save her from this hole, eventually...

But she'll suffer even more if she falls down there, right?

She died suffering...

I will not let her suffer forever!

Let her go, Manigoldo!

No way!

If this awaits, I don't even know why I live.

Are the people from my village here, too?

They died in such pain.

If this is how it is, then my Saint training is useless!

This is nothing but despair!

Don't speak of despair so carelessly.

Did you forget why I brought you to the Sanctuary?

It was not to teach you about the battlefield of despair or a life of despair.

It was because I wanted you to live, Manigoldo.

I don't understand!

How can I see this and live?

This is why we fight Hades.

The King of the Underworld that lies below,

and the gods who treat human lives as playthings...

Feel your life, Manigoldo,

the universe within it.

Feel it, keep feeling it...

And we shall defeat death itself.

Despair?

Don't use that word so carelessly.

I still have tricks up my sleeve!

That's right, Master...

I'll believe in you.

Humans!

For the sin of raising your hand to a god,

you shall pay with your lives!

Damn it...

The power drawing us in is incredible!

If we're pulled in, we humans...

What's wrong, old man?

You have some plan, right?

But it's all too late!

In the end, humans cannot escape the destiny

the gods dictate!

We'll start with your bratty student.

Thanatos, damn you...

Praesepe Underworld Waves!

What?

I've heard your true body is in Elysium.

So what appears before me is but a temporary vessel you've created.

If I draw out your soul from the body,

then I can win.

I don't know what you're doing,

but no mere human can move a god's soul.

Impudent...

It's clearly the soul of a god...

What power!

That technique won't work on me!

So it didn't work, after all.

I've come so close!

I'll annihilate you both, master and student.

What?

Damn...

When I was a kid, I always admired death.

But I hated it even more!

I can't believe I'm getting the chance to kick your ass.

Hey, Master.

I'm glad I went with you.

Praesepe Underworld Waves!

Presumptuous! But useless!

No matter how many times you do it, I'll just return to this body.

Until you run out of power and finally die!

You think so, huh?

Now you're garbage, too.

Cloth, return to your original master.

No...

Manigoldo!

It seems that horrid piece of trash is finally gone.

Fool.

The destruction of a temporary body is nothing to me.

He died for nothing.

He did not.

You stand before me now, an exposed soul.

You don't seem to understand.

I have as many replacements for that body as I require.

Like the one in front of me... You!

That's right.

Your body is mine.

With the Pope's body, I can easily enter the Sanctuary.

I can take Athena's life with no problems.

What's wrong, Thanatos?

You seem to be having some issues with my body.

Impossible.

I can't take his body...

I told you, didn't I?

The Pope's job is to stay one move ahead of the gods.

What is this?

This is the Cloth of my brother, Altar Hakurei!

I've been waiting for this moment.

For two hundred years, we brothers have been

imbuing this Cloth with our power.

You're a bird that's flown into a cage.

You deceived a god!

Then...

I'll tear your soul apart from the inside!

Don't be so arrogant.

What can the Cosmo of two old men do?

It's not just us.

Behind us stand our future companions,

the next generation's children.

For them...

I've given my entire life!

What?

You put that into the Cloth?

This generation's Athena gave me this holy ark.

If I seal you within it,

not even you will be able to escape for several hundred years!

Damn you!

I won't let you mock the gods thus!

I am the god of death.

No mortal can control me!

Are you not bored with your jests, "god"?

Indeed, no human can completely control a god.

Stop it!

My plan wasn't perfect this time, either...

Don't!

Manigoldo...

I let you die.

Lady Athena...

Brother...

I leave the rest in your hands.

The holy ark...

He has achieved his goal.

Pope Sage,

you did it.

Hakurei.

We have sealed the god of death, Thanatos.

But we've lost the Pope...

Was this really for the best?

Compared to the damage that Thanatos wrought during the last war,

it is minimal.

And...

Sealing the twin gods was my brother's and my most cherished desire.

Hypnos alone remains.

Hakurei, with Sage gone,

we need you, the Pope's aide, more than ever.

Please don't rush into anything.

Lady Athena, I never do.

But an old soldier can't stay around forever.

This generation's men must slay this generation's Hades.

It just happened that our hated enemy was the obstacle to this.

We simply helped remove it.

But, Hakurei, you're also alive.

I want you to live!

I'm sure Sage desired for the young Saints to live, as well.

I am the same.

I want the young Saints to live and create the future.

I saw a meteor headed for the Pope's Chambers.

I'm certain something's wrong.

Manigoldo?

Hey, Shion.

Going to the Pope's Chambers?

I heard you went to guard the Pegasus Saint.

Where is he?

What happened to you?

Something from my old man to yours.

Take care of the rest, okay?

You...

That meteor...

And that Cosmo...

Did something happen to him?

What's wrong, Tenma?

Are you worried about that meteor?

Yeah.

Manigoldo?

You're safe?

Sorry, but I can't babysit you anymore.

You...

Yeah.

What?

You're still a kid?

See you.

Tenma... What's wrong?

No...

It's nothing.

We're almost to Hades's castle.

Let's hurry!

Master!

Athena!

Master...

I see.

So this is how it feels.

How what feels?

How it feels to look out from the Pope's chair.

This place is too big and empty.

He sat here for over two hundred years, staring at that door.

I think he must have been lonely.

Sitting in the same chair that Sage did,

and seeing you enter through that door,

I finally feel at peace.

Once, when this Sanctuary had fallen to ruin,

new comrades gathered here...

One, and then another, coming through the door.

Master Hakurei, take this.

It is your turn to take up his desires.

Carry on Pope Sage's will and take this mask.

Manigoldo gave this to me in the house of Cancer.

What?

I thought he wouldn't come back.

I see... That naughty little Manigoldo, eh?

Don't treat it so roughly!

I can't let a child carry it forever.

Shion.

Yes.

I have taken the Pope's mask.

But I will not be the one to stare at that door until the next generation arrives.

It will be someone of your lifetime.

Yes, sir.

It might be you...

Until then, I shall bear this mask, as Altar Hakurei, aide to the Pope.

Lady Pandora!

The palace!

Quiet, Cheshire.

How can I be calm?

One of the twin gods, defeated by a Saint!

Don't be concerned.

There is another.

But if Sir Thanatos was slain, then his brother Sir Hypnos, too...

We can't let our guard down, right?

The gods of sleep and death are very different

in their level of caution.

The Barrier of Sleep has already been raised around the forest leading to Hades's castle.

A Saint cannot get close.

There's no way to go around or escape it.

Death will come, without their realizing that the barrier is even there.

That's great!

Truly, he has an almost terrible caution...

Thanatos...

You were too quick and let down your guard.

Sit in that holy ark for a few hundred years, and cool your head.

It's no time at all, to us gods.

Hated Athena,

don't get cocky just because you sealed Sir Thanatos.

The god of sleep, Sir Hypnos,

has gathered those gods that rule over dreams.

Pegasus and his followers

will soon fall into a dream, from which they will never wake.

And Hades's heart will be mine.

The Myth of Hades...
