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.

Is it true, Lady Pandora?

The four gods who serve Lord Hypnos have fallen?

To think, the ever-cautious Sir Hypnos

would be so harried by mere humans...

Oneiros and the other gods have utterly failed you.

I can only imagine how you must feel.

That poses no problem.

All is moving according to my plan.

Soon, I shall begin adding the finishing touches.

The finishing touches?

Pandora, simply perform your duty.

Lord Hades will awaken.

He will return to me.

Preparing his welcome, for his full revival...

That is my duty.

Episode 24 Hour of the Final Battle

Star Hill, where the pope alone may enter.

How many nights did you stargaze here,

reading the future of the Holy War?

Sage...

For each of those two hundred and ten years, you loved the Sanctuary.

Forgive your brother for not being

of greater service to you.

But I love the Sanctuary every bit as much as you.

In this land, we fought side by side.

So bear witness, Sage.

As a soldier of the Sanctuary...

As your brother...

Altar Hakurei, performs his final duty.

Sisyphos has revived.

And only he can shatter...

Hypnos's Barrier of Sleep...

That which casts all who cross it into a slumber...

The unbreakable wall restraining Athena's army.

And now...

it is my turn.

Can you hear me? Warriors of the Sanctuary...

As your pope, I issue you these orders.

The time of the final battle with the armies of Hades is upon us!

The Barrier of Sleep has been broken,

leaving the enemy castle exposed.

Cancer Manigoldo and Capricorn El Cid have already fallen.

This chance has been paid for

with many of our comrades' blood...

Taurus Aldebaran.

Virgo Asmita.

Pisces Albafica.

Even these Gold Saints fell during this campaign.

However...

Fear not.

Our power lies in our Cosmos,

in the strength of our very emotions.

For Lady Athena...

For the Earth...

For our comrades...

And for those who will inherit the next generation...

We now begin the final battle!

Hail, Lady Athena!

Hail, Pope Sage!

Aren't they adorable, Sage?

It feels like we're with our comrades, two hundred and ten years ago.

Now then, Hakurei goes forth, to his last battle.

My blood burns!

I shall savor this enjoyment!

Big trouble, Lady Pandora!

The Barrier of Sleep has fallen!

Athena's forces are on their way.

Lord Hades isn't here, and Lord Hypnos went off somewhere...

Be silent, Cheshire.

This is all according to the plan he told to us.

But...

Do not fear.

Simply prepare for the upcoming conflict with the Saints.

R-Right!

But where did Lord Hypnos go

at such an important time as this...

How wonderful...

It's nearly overwhelming.

Humans are amazing things,

when you consider that they can create such a beautiful painting,

and yet, they can murder one another without thought.

Human? Me?

Long ago, I abandoned humanity,

and was reborn...

Yes... As King Hades.

A pure world of death and salvation,

without starvation, illness, or poverty.

To bring about such a world, colored by the darkness,

in which all colors blend together...

So, death is a salvation offered to humanity?

I admire your dedication to the task.

But, Alone...

Calling yourself Hades, acting as Hades,

but judging men, while still a man...

That is the foulest of deeds,

one that cannot be forgiven!

Then, will you fight me?

I, who wield the power of Hades?

Even I cannot match the power of Lord Hades.

Why do you think I sealed you here?

Why do you think I brought the Pegasus Saint close to you?

For a mortal, imprisonment here, in the Dream World's lowest depths

where even the gods sleep...

It puts an incredible strain on the soul.

And your interference with the Pegasus Saint,

even across the Dream World's walls...

Your human soul is at its limits.

You have dared entrap me?!

Who do you think I am?

You'll pay, Hypnos!

Alone! Fall into a peaceful slumber...

Eternal Drowsiness!

I shall await you, my master.

Yes, I am Hades.

I shall defeat Athena's army and end this Holy War.

Death is not salvation.

It is judgment.

I shall paint this land with darkness.

So, that's it, huh?

Then, I shall return, Sage.

Our goal lies before us!

I shall seal the twin gods!

I thought you might be here.

My master, Hakurei!

Shion.

What troubles you so?

The entire Sanctuary has gathered at the Colosseum, to prepare for the siege

on Hades's castle.

I noted your absence, and it's just as I suspected!

Why?

You've even removed the robes of the pope!

Where are you going?

You've done a magnificent job of being Sage,

all to raise their spirits.

Do not give in to self-interest now!

Don't be alarmed, Shion.

I have left my final orders and the army's command in Sisyphos's care.

I've completed my task.

That's selfish!

You always...

What do you know, kid?

Stand aside!

Have I ever done anything that was not for the Sanctuary's benefit?

Forget this old man,

and worry about the Holy War and your own future.

So that you might live.

Master!

Why must you always...

The time has come.

We shall raise our forces to assault the castle of Hades!

The enemy dwells in Italy...

Do not fall behind!

Sisyphos, I'm sorry.

But I just can't...

Wait!

Dohko...

All Saints have been ordered to assemble.

Where do you go, without permission?

At Sisyphos's command,

the entire army prepares to assault Hades's castle!

I know.

But please let me go, Dohko.

My master went ahead, to Hades's castle, alone.

What? Sir Hakurei?

So that's it.

After Manigoldo fell,

Sage gave his life,

in order to seal Thanatos.

And now, Hakurei heads for the other god, Hypnos.

To slay the twin gods, for the sake of this era's children...

That has been their desire for over two centuries.

And now, that hour has come for my master!

My master...

intends to die for this generation's children.

And it was my master who, earlier today, called on the Saints.

He always acts that way...

Alone and selfish,

taking everything upon himself.

I wish to fight at my master's side!

You want to fight alongside him, huh?

I'm not too happy about ignoring

a superior's orders...

But how about both of us go to hear him lecture us again, Shion?

Dohko...

Assuming the two of us survive!

He shoulders everything, without anyone knowing, huh?

Sisyphos, I'm sorry.

Tenma...

Let us fight together at the castle of Hades!

Shion... Dohko.

But how do we transport this huge army?

Worry not.

Come forth, Atla.

This child is a master of psychokinesis.

He's precious to Sir Hakurei.

Teleporting an army is as nothing to him.

Let us go.

On to the final battle!

Hades's castle!

We've arrived at the site of our final conflict!

If I can make it up here,

I can reach the castle of Hades, find Alone,

and put an end to this!

I won't let anyone else die.

I don't want to let them die...

Yato?

Huh? My body... It feels strange...

Yato?

And Yuzuriha, as well?

I'm sorry, Tenma.

But I don't think I can do this...

You idiot!

This isn't like you...

Why are you whining?

Yato!

Yuzuriha!

Hey... Wake up!

Yato! Yuzuriha!

Why?

Why is this happening to you two,

out of nowhere?

Damn it!

What do I do?

Tenma.

Take hold of yourself.

Dohko!

If you can't even make it through here,

you'll never reach Alone.

Why are you here?

I can't leave my rash student to his own devices,

or he'll get himself killed.

Dohko.

I thought so.

Shion?

What are you two doing here?

That is due to the barrier of Hades.

Hades?

My master told me about this.

The castle of Hades is protected by,

not only Hypnos's Barrier of Sleep,

but also by Hades's own powerful barrier,

which reduces a Saint's power to a tenth of their original strength.

Those two are probably suffering from its effects.

This is probably the farthest a Bronze or Silver could get.

At this rate, even we Gold Saints...

But I...

I'm okay?

You have that bracelet...

Lady Athena's bracelet safeguarded you,

even when you died and went to the Underworld.

It continues to protect you still.

Sasha...

D-Don't call her that...

She's the Lady Athena.

Damn it. This isn't fair...

But I won't die from this... This barrier of Hades!

I can keep going, Tenma!

Yato.

I, too, can stand... Sir Shion...

Yuzuriha.

Come then, Tenma.

Let's go!

Tenma.

Don't worry.

We'll fight with you.

Together, alongside you.

Together, alongside the destiny you bear, regarding the Pegasus Saint and Hades.

Everyone...

Thank you.

The final barrier surrounds the castle of Hades itself!

Everyone, prepare yourselves!

A single barrier is nothing to us now!

We cannot waste the sacrifices made by those

who went ahead before us!

That's right.

When we remember our comrades' deaths, there is but one path for us!

Sir Sisyphos, order the advance.

Wait!

Stand down.

Sir Sisyphos, you can't ask us to come this far and wait.

Go to your positions and hold your ground.

Await the chosen time.

That is the Pope's will.

Look! The Saints gather below.

But they make no attempt to move.

Did the mere sight of Hades's castle frighten all of them?

Someone approaches.

So many, all to welcome a lone man.

Who are you?

A Saint?

What did you hope to accomplish, coming alone?

Say something, damn it!

Damn you, old man!

Only death awaits those who come to the castle of Hades!

You children really should learn respect for your elders.

Stop screwing around!

Die!

Wh-Who is this old guy?

What?

The forces of Hades sure aren't what they were.

But the castle won't be so easy.

The fun's just beginning.

Hey!

My head isn't a footstool...

Sorry, Yato.

Give me a push.

Don't be stupid!

I'm more weakened than you.

Why do I need to help you?

Hades's barrier really is powerful...

It's starting to take a toll on me.

Are you all right, Yuzuriha?

Yes... But the master's the same as always.

That's true...

He always decides to do the craziest things on his own.

What's so funny?

You're here because you also ignored Sir Sisyphos's orders.

Well...

Ever since Jamir, I've thought of you two

as quite similar...

The master and I? Truly?

That isn't a funny joke, Yuzuriha!

Tenma!

We're almost to the castle of Hades.

Keep it up!

Right...

H-Hey, Tenma!

I don't see the other two below us!

Yuzuriha... Shion...

Lord Hades,

it appears that someone has breached the castle alone.

A man who, over the past two hundred and ten years

since the last Holy War,

has dedicated everything to defeating us, the twin gods.

Humans truly are interesting, aren't they?

The Myth of Hades...
