When evil threatens the world,
the warriors of hope will always appear.
Garbed in Cloths of the constellations,
they fight by exploding the energy within them:
their Cosmo.
They are the warriors who
protect the love and peace of the world...
The Saints!
Saint Koga's journey to find Athena continues.
He heads for the Palaestra, alongside Soma.
Young men,
let the Cosmo in your hearts burn!
Hey, how much longer do we have to climb?
We're almost there.
We're here.
This is the Palaestra.
Where is it?
There's nothing here.
If you have the right to enter the Palaestra,
the path will open.
A mask?
I am Yuna.
The Aquila Saint!
What?
Who are you?
What was that for?
It's no good.
I sense no Cosmo at all.
What?
Damn it...
Wow.
This is her Cosmo?
Are you serious about wanting to be Athena's Saint?
Of course I am!
I...
I will become a Saint!
That is what I decided!
The Pegasus Cloth?
Okay, that's good enough.
Thanks, Yuna.
You may return.
Yes, Sensei.
Sensei?
Awesome!
You made it on the first try!
That was a test?
That is the Palaestra.
The Law of the Mask!
The Saint of the Wind Appears!
So, how was the new Saint?
You don't need me to tell you.
You'll know soon enough.
What?
Picking a fight with us?
Stop it, would you?
You appear to be in a good mood.
Beat him easily, didn't you?
In a good mood?
Me?
What? Are you mad?
Sorry, sorry...
I couldn't tell.
I can't see your face, you know.
What?
I'm not angry or happy.
And if you dislike me that much,
bring Sensei here and we can arrange for a duel right now.
Huh?
If you insist, I'll fight you.
What are you doing?!
Have you forgotten that private fights between Saints are prohibited?
Since the age of myth,
Saints have worn Cloths, to protect Athena and justice.
Not for their own benefit!
Yes! I'm very sorry.
Spia! You, too.
Yes, I'm sorry!
Be more careful in the future.
Yes, sir.
Right.
Hey, it's that fake Shina-san.
Aquila Yuna.
Hey.
You salute like this whenever you pass Athena's statue.
Why?
What'd you mean, why?
Sounds like it'd get old fast.
Ow! What was that for?!
Shut your mouth!
A Saint should always show Athena the proper respect!
Come on, Sensei. Give him a break...
He really doesn't know these things.
Koga, was it?
Where did you get that Pegasus Cloth?
It was on the island where I lived.
What?
It was left in my care
from a Saint called Seiya who once saved me.
Is it really so important?
I don't know that much myself!
I see.
The Palaestra is a place
for new Bronze Saints to learn together,
compete with one another, and strengthen their minds.
Do your best.
Answer!
Yes, I understand.
So,
where is Athena, Deputy Headmaster?
Sorry!
He just really wants to know where Athena is...
Athena is in her temple.
Really?
Is she safe?
I would assume so.
Then where is her temple located?
Beyond the twelve houses of the Zodiac in the Sanctuary.
So if I go there, I can see her?
Someone like you has no cause to meet her.
But if you became a Gold Saint, things would be different.
Bronze, Silver, and the highest is Gold.
There are currently two Gold Saints.
The rest are absent at this time,
so it falls to the Palaestra
to train the next generation.
So I just need to become a Gold Saint, right?
It isn't that simple...
More importantly, what of your current assignment?
Yes, sir!
Two fairly large Cosmos collided,
gouging a chunk out of the island.
And according to this guy,
Athena was kidnapped or something.
Impossible.
Had something happened to Athena,
this place and the Sanctuary would be in a panic.
Anyway, once the Headmaster returns, report this immediately.
Why?
I'm sure I saw Saori-san vanish before me.
If she is Athena,
then who is in her temple?
Your room is here, with me.
Don't make a mess.
Same to you.
Call me senpai!
Let's eat!
Hey,
are there not many people here?
It's spring break until tomorrow.
Everyone's gone home.
Home, huh?
I have to find Saori-san soon,
so the old man and Shina-san can relax.
Are you sure this Saori-san you keep talking about
really is the same person as Athena?
I never had any idea
that she was so important.
If I'd known, I'd have trained harder.
If I'd trained harder...
Don't blame yourself so much.
Even if you'd known, what could you have done?
I might have been able to protect her...
Why can't I see Saori-san...
I mean, Athena?
It's just the rule.
What kind of rule is that?
I just want to know that she's safe!
Still, you know...
Athena is safe.
Yuna!
I saw it in the stars.
The female Saint from this morning!
I told you that she's Aquila Yuna.
I know that!
What did you mean about seeing it in the stars?
Yuna can learn things and predict events
by studying the stars.
She can really do that?
Hey, tell me more about Saori-san.
Please!
Who is Saori-san?
She's Athena.
Come on, please!
Um...
Also, why do you wear a mask?
What was that about?
Take this.
All female Saints must wear a mask.
Yuna,
become a stronger Saint than any other.
You are now a pair of fists that fight for Athena.
What you seek
will surely be found with Athena.
I am grateful for the guidance of the stars and Athena.
I shall be a great Saint,
and protect Athena and the happiness
of the world's people!
Pegasus Cloth!
Maybe you're right,
and something terrible has happened to Athena.
But a Bronze Saint can't do anything.
For now, your goal should be getting stronger.
Pegasus Cloth!
Okay!
The Pegasus Cloth?
Who is he?
I did it before.
So I can do it!
I can do that move again...
Hey, Pegasus.
What are you doing?
The Pegasus Cloth belonged to the legendary Saint, Seiya, didn't it?
Why should you care?
Hey, now...
You just arrived, but you're breaking the rules?
Fights between Saints aren't allowed.
You could get expelled.
You wouldn't want that.
How did you get the Pegasus Cloth?
It isn't something that one like you should be allowed to have.
I will never tell you!
This is my Cloth, no matter what anyone says.
And you're annoying!
Spia!
Why, you...
That jerk!
Amazing.
That is your constellation.
You're... Um...
Yuna.
By constellation, you mean Pegasus?
Which one is it?
Alpha Markab.
Beta Scheat.
Gamma Algenib.
Andromeda Alpheratz.
They form the major parts of the Pegasus outline.
Simply locate those four stars.
That's pretty impressive...
It's nothing special.
The Pegasus personality is self-centered,
short-tempered, strong-willed, and ambitious.
Huh?
Nothing.
Hey, you were saying
that Athena is safe.
Yes.
Can you really tell that?
Whether you believe me is up to you,
but that is Athena's star.
The star in this planetarium shines brightly.
However,
when you look into the real sky,
some of the star has a dark shadow across it.
Something threatens Athena,
but there is time before all is swallowed by darkness.
I see.
Thanks!
It's up to you whether you believe or not.
I believe.
You're also worried about Athena, right?
You looked serious when you answered me, didn't you?
I mean, I can't tell, because of your mask.
The Pegasus is short-tempered,
but also supposedly honest and polite.
You really can do anything...
That's not true.
But you know, it would be nice if I could.
For example,
living without my mask.
And feeling the wind all over my body.
After all,
I am the Saint of the Wind.
Then take it off.
Once she's a Saint, a woman can't let anyone see her face.
If someone sees them, they must kill them
or love them.
Who decided that?
No one knows.
You're obeying, even though you don't know the reason?
It's the rule.
What the heck?
Saints have lots of weird rules...
But I don't want to do anything I don't approve of.
How we feel about it isn't important.
But you want to remove your mask, right?
Weren't you mad because you wanted to take it off, but you couldn't?
I will
make a path for myself...
I don't care about the rules!
Are you so different?
That's a splendid thing to say.
As I'd expect from the Pegasus Saint,
you can do more than run.
I didn't run!
Aren't there rules about stalking new students?
Hey.
And you're fortunate no rule dictates you must be polite
to your upperclassmen.
What?
Stop it!
Fights between Saints are forbidden.
Screw the rules.
I follow the rules I decide in my heart.
Dorado Cloth.
Pegasus Cloth!
Stop it, you two!
Shut up!
Female Saints should keep their masks on and their mouths shut!
That's the rule.
What did you say?
Stop it!
How many times must I tell you that private fights are forbidden?
But if I decide to allow it, that's different.
You fools can have your duel right now!
Why is it them, not me?
Yuna, you are a talented student.
But you still don't understand what's important for a Saint.
Duel as hard as you can,
and you'll learn what you need to know.
Go!
Blast Scythe!
Swordfish Cutter!
Wow...
What I need as a Saint...
He's strong!
Are you serious about this fight?
Students like you, who ignore rules, are a problem.
But it can also be a problem to be too rigid, like Yuna.
I once broke the rules.
When I was still fighting on the front lines, as a Saint.
The Sanctuary was after me for a while,
but as a result,
I met some wonderful companions.
And now,
I am a Palaestra instructor,
through Athena's guidance.
Are you a great Saint if you merely follow the rules?
No.
The true Saints I know, are those
who follow the rules in their hearts,
those they've placed upon themselves!
If Yuna can face her heart straight-on...
What I lack as a Saint...
What is it I require right now?
I win!
Athena.
Yuna!
If you lose now, it'll bother you for the rest of your life.
You must win,
no matter what!
If you lose here, nothing will change...
Make your own path!
That's right.
This is not the time for doubt.
I swore back then...
To be stronger than anyone,
and to protect Athena and everyone's happiness!
Divine Tornado!
She really is amazing.
When a female Saint removes her mask...
I won't kill or fall in love with you.
That is the rule I follow in my heart.
I lost.
My name's Koga.
Nice to meet you all!
It seems we have a lively new student.
I look forward to meeting him.
