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.

Sisyphos, thanks to El Cid's help,

I can finally come to you.

Lady Athena, please take care.

Episode 23 Excalibur

This is Sisyphos's dream?

Sisyphos, are you really...

...still obsessed with that day?

Wait!

Come on!

You're going too fast!

Hey! Be careful with that.

It's important, right?

I'm sorry.

Are you okay, Brother?

I've been searching for you, our goddess, Lady Athena.

Goddess?

Athena?

That's correct.

You were not meant to be born here.

Please return to your place

in preparation for the Holy War, and guide us.

Holy War...

My place?

Who the heck are you?

Where are you taking Sasha?

I understand how you must feel.

But we have no more time.

Hades has shown signs of awakening,

and threatens the land.

If you stay here, you will be in danger, too.

Please...

Please.

Sasha!

Tenma!

Hey, wait!

Alone!

Are you all right?

Are you hurt?

If I don't take her away,

a happy life may await her.

But this is my duty as a Saint.

I'm doing the right thing.

Now the land will be safe.

No, it's quite the opposite.

You have meddled in the gods' affairs,

with this result.

Sisyphos, what you've just done

begins it all.

What I've done...

You saw him, didn't you?

My brother, Alone, who is now Hades.

You...

I...?

You were the one who caused the Holy War!

That's right...

I brought about the Holy War.

I have no right to call myself a Saint.

You agree. Don't you, Sagittarius?

If you do...

If you do, then pierce my heart!

Sisyphos!

He refuses to awaken

from his dream because of his self-doubt.

He's had this dream, over and over,

constantly blaming himself!

And my brother's arrow amplifies that emotion...

I'm so sorry, Lady Athena.

Pegasus... Alone...

My comrades...

Everyone on Earth!

No, Sisyphos!

A Surplice is covering Sisyphos's body!

Sisyphos!

You must not lose yourself to this!

Lady Athena...

I...

Forget about me!

I am the sinner who caused the Holy War.

I haven't the right to be a Saint.

I'm no Saint.

He's rejecting me...

No... Everything, including himself.

But then...

Sisyphos, it's not your fault that the Holy War began!

Because...

There's nothing...

...more to say!

You were so gentle and filled with righteousness...

If you've fallen this far into the darkness,

then I, too, shall prepare myself!

As the Goddess of War!

Now, Sisyphos, let your arrow fly!

Do it!

This is the pain you've endured.

You felt such sorrow for taking me away...

I'm so sorry, Sisyphos.

Lady Athena...

My decisions in this life have caused you to suffer so.

I...

...have wounded you.

Damn it.

I can't be a Saint!

The days I spent as a human, with my brother, Alone, and Tenma,

were what I longed for.

To me, those days were very important.

But there's no need for you to suffer over that.

My very birth was an omen of the Holy War.

The evil stars had already awoken,

and the twin gods had begun to make their move.

Had you not come, I would have been killed.

You protected me.

I protected you...

Yes.

What I did wasn't wrong?

Of course not.

We need your power to protect the land.

You couldn't have forgotten the promise

you made to Tenma that day.

The promise...

Wait!

Tenma...

Sure, we're hungry every day.

If we get sick, there's no money for medicine.

We could be happier if someone protected us.

But... Can you really make Sasha happy?

If not, I can't let you take her.

I cannot promise that.

Indeed...

I may be taking her away from a happy future.

After saying that, do you expect me to give you Sasha?

Damn it!

Don't underestimate me just 'cause I'm a kid!

I won't ask you to understand.

But to her, you're like a brother, so all I can do is ask your permission.

I'd like you to entrust her to us.

Us? What?

Who are you?

She will face many difficulties.

But I can swear this to you...

I shall protect her to the end.

Is that true?

It'd better be.

It will be.

All right.

I can't say why, but I think you're telling the truth.

How do you know?

I saw the universe inside your eyes.

The universe!

This boy...

But if I feel that she's sad...

When I'm stronger...

I might come to reclaim her.

Until then, take care of her.

I want you to fight with me, Sisyphos.

Tenma... No, the Pegasus Saint.

Once again...

I swear this to you.

Until the end of my life...

No, even should I die,

I shall always protect you!

This Cosmo...

Has the Sagittarius Saint returned?

Hakurei.

Lady Athena, I'm so glad you're safe.

And Sisyphos... You've done well to return.

Yes.

I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you.

Oneiros joined with the other three gods',

becoming a mighty force inside the Dream World.

Do you have a plan?

With El Cid's help...

And if Lady Athena will aid us once more.

I will do anything for the Saints' victory.

What's wrong?

Weren't you going to take one of our souls?

Hey, is that Gold Saint all right?

I don't feel any Cosmo from him!

He's fine.

Worry about yourself, not him, Yato.

What?

You're a mess... I don't want to hear it from you!

Stupid Tenma.

What?

It isn't the time for this, guys.

How stupid.

You've nothing left.

You're simply waiting for the end.

What pitiful children.

I went through all the trouble

of showing you the dreams you harbored.

And now, you've returned to boring old reality.

You really are idiots.

Shut up!

You poked around in our hearts and made fools of us!

Tenma...

Yeah.

This time, we'll all attack at once!

Yeah!

Pegasus Meteor Fist!

Dazzling Dance of Beautiful Flashing Kicks!

Unicorn Gallop!

A human can do nothing to a god.

Are you ready, Lady Athena?

Yes.

Damn it.

I don't care if you're a god or not.

I'm not losing!

The only god I believe in is Lady Athena!

That's right.

We are Lady Athena's Saints.

We have nothing to fear, even from a god.

We'll stand up again, as many times as it takes to defeat you.

Tenma!

Already, my body regenerates.

With this attack, I shall annihilate you all...

Just like that disabled Gold Saint there.

I can't move...

I'm a Gold Saint, and I can't stand before them.

Has my blade broken at last?

El Cid...

Sisyphos?

You've awakened?

You look pretty bad, El Cid.

You fought for me, all alone, in the Dream World.

I thank you.

I wasn't alone.

The Pegasus Saint and my men were with me.

Then let me help.

El Cid,

I've launched an arrow with Athena's power.

It is the power that will lead the Saints to victory.

Victory?

Indeed.

If there is any hope at all, I must use my blade.

That's right.

As we always have.

Be it shattered or broken...

Make of your body...

a single blade!

This strong Cosmo emanating from the Sanctuary...

Is it Athena's power?

I see...

It seems he's found some hope in it.

It's only a dull, broken blade, and three children.

You lack the power and numbers to destroy

all four gods simultaneously.

He's facing the wrong way!

Has he gone insane?

To show an enemy your back, in this situation...

No.

I am sharpened.

As sharpened as I could ever be...

I have my companions, who walk the path of righteousness with me.

And my Cosmo is about to blaze more brightly than ever before.

Follow your path, El Cid.

Your path is like a sword...

And you...

...are Excalibur!

A-Amazing...

Impossible.

In a single instant, he split the golden arrow,

piercing all of our souls?

The greatest and final blade,

infused with your love for Lady Athena.

I am proud of it.

We will be shamed before Hypnos.

At least...

We must take the Pegasus Saint's soul with us!

El Cid!

You again!

You take, not just my brothers, but me also?

Have you no fear of the gods?

A foolish question.

We have things to protect,

to see through, even if it means fighting gods!

Those are the things you mock.

Pegasus Tenma,

that is your path to follow, as well!

El Cid!

El Cid!

I shall not grieve.

You have finally completed the ultimate sword, Excalibur.

And even if your life ends,

there are those who will follow the path you blazed.

Damn it!

Sage, the time has come to fulfill our great desire.

As a Sanctuary warrior and as your brother,

I shall fulfill my ultimate task.

Now is the hour of the final battle.

We head for the castle of Hades!

Next time on Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas –

The Myth of Hades...

Hour of the Final Battle.
