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 search for Athena continues.
In Yuna's snow-covered hometown,
her former teacher, Pavlin, now one of Mars's assassins, attacks.
Yuna survives the battle,
but more pursuing Silver Saints confront her.
Pavlin risks her life to allow Yuna to escape,
and she tells Yuna that Kido Saori is still alive.
Finally possessing a clue as to Saori's whereabouts,
the party heads toward the next ruins.
Young men, let the Cosmo in your hearts burn!
Are you okay?
Shouldn't we take a break soon?
There's a village up ahead.
Rest there.
Haruto!
You just keep appearing and disappearing.
You'll stay with us for a while, right?
We can't get to the Earth Ruin Core without you...
Something's been bothering me.
You go on ahead.
Hey... What the heck?!
And you have a fun guest following you.
A fun guest?
Hey, wait!
Ichi-senpai!
Poisoned Fangs Attack! Conspiracy at the Second Ruins!
Poisoned Fangs attack.
Conspiracy at the second ruins.
So you're safe.
I'm glad to run into you again.
Heck, yeah!
I've heard the rumors about you guys, too.
They say you kidnapped Athena.
But I knew that was crap.
Aria, I'll introduce you.
He was our senpai at the Palaestra...
I am the beautiful Saint, Hydra Ichi.
Ichi-senpai!
Get away from her!
Oh, come on!
Anyway, how did you escape, senpai?
It was tough!
I was in the bathroom during the attack.
The bathroom?!
And so, I stayed hidden and Mars's men eventually left.
Then I ran away.
You're as much a loser as ever.
Okay, let's all work together and fight!
For Athena!
Because we're Athena's Saints, right?
Ichi-senpai.
I'm glad you made it out okay.
Yeah, of course!
I'm invincible!
Come on, guys, let's eat up and celebrate our reunion.
Eat all you want.
Here's your meal.
All right!
I hear the food in these parts are...
What the?!
Hey, what's with these portions?
Are you trying to ruin our reunion, kid?
Senpai, don't scare him.
W-We can't help it.
There isn't enough food.
All the fields have dried up.
And these weird armored guys showed up at the nearby ruins not long ago.
Ever since then, all the crops have withered.
The Earth Core.
Mars is taking the Earth Cosmo...
Mars is making innocent people suffer?
It was a poor village to begin with.
Guys, listen...
Yeah, if we destroy the Earth Core, it'll save the village.
So...
Let's do it!
Ichi-senpai?
Kid, take us to those ruins.
Michelangelo-sama, those Bronze Saints...
They're here?
This way.
Okay, leave it to us!
I'll beat the stuffing out of those stupid armored jerks!
He's really worked up.
He wants to show off for us.
Well?
I feel the Cosmo.
I think it's this way.
You're a nice old guy, Mr. Mohawk.
I thought you were scary.
I'm not old!
I'm young and very attractive!
Not happening.
What was that?
Ow, ow, ow...
Take this and this!
Aren't those the ruins?
There might be a Silver Saint protecting them like before.
Let's be careful.
Yeah.
The Earth Core is in here?
Aria?
This is it.
But...
The ruins are shaking?
What are these things?
These things are golems,
dolls that are animated through the power of Cosmo.
They're being controlled from somewhere far away.
But, Ichi-senpai, how do you know that?
Soma! Yuna!
Ichi-senpai, why?!
Sorry, this is a dummy ruins.
The real ruins, with the Core, is elsewhere.
Hydrus Cloth!
This shine can't be...
A Silver Cloth?
That's right!
I'm not Hydra Ichi anymore.
Now I am the Silver Saint
Hydrus Ichi.
There're so many of them!
Not to mention, I'm not feeling well all of the sudden...
Yuna! Soma!
That is from the Hydrus's poison fangs.
One hit won't kill, but it will weaken you.
And the golems are being controlled by another Silver Saint
somewhere else, near the Earth Core.
So you can't reach him.
You've sold your soul to Mars.
Ichi-senpai, why?
Hey, you could never understand how I felt when I got this.
You tricked us, you mohawk geezer!
You really were a bad guy!
You're still here, kid?
You should run away, or you'll get hurt.
I'll fight you.
You wanna fight, Koga?
No, Pegasus!
Did you see that, Bronze Saints?
The power of the Silver Saint who guards the Earth Core,
Caelum Michelangelo and his golems!
That new Silver was of more use than I expected.
I know them!
Wait, no... They really trust me!
With me there, you can set any kind of trap you want!
So make me a Silver!
Hydra, was it?
Very well.
I shall speak to Sonia-sama.
Thank you so much!
Controlling the golems from here makes me
perfectly safe and completely invincible.
Having my creations fight is my greatest joy!
Go, golems!
Colossus Live!
Soma! Yuna!
You're going to fight me, right?
Ichi-senpai, if you get in our way, I won't hold back.
Hold back what?
Take this!
Hydrus Fangs!
Take this!
My claws!
You're wide open!
Nope!
They grew back?!
Paralyze Baise!
Koga-oniichan!
You shouldn't lower your guard.
The fangs of the Hydrus
can grow as many times as I need them.
That's right.
These are the Hydra's fangs.
In myths, the legendary Hydra could regenerate
its heads even if they were cut off, as many times as necessary.
The power of the Hydrus Cloth can do the same!
My cloth wins!
So, how does the poison feel?
Wow, you're tough.
One more, then!
Now that I know his claws are his weapons...
He's going for a kick...
Then, I can block and hit him in the body.
Hydrus Gorgeous Kick!
Now!
I told you I can make as many of those fangs as I want.
Koga!
I'm not done yet...
I'll hit him in the chest.
Pegasus Senkou Ken!
No!
Too bad.
He can also grow fangs from his chest?
Koga!
Ichi-senpai, how are you this strong?
Just because you're a Silver Saint...
This isn't like school!
On the battlefield, studying won't help at all.
What's required is wisdom, effort, and experience!
And more than anything, beauty.
The prettier boy always wins.
They say that even
an elegant-looking swan will struggle underwater.
So, since I've been through so much mud,
I should be all the more beautiful!
Are you listening?!
Why, Ichi-senpai?
If you have so much power,
why would you help Mars?
I wanted more power...
No, to shine more brightly.
To shine more brightly?
That's right.
Pegasus Seiya...
Dragon Shiryu...
Andromeda Shun...
Once, I was one of them.
Then why?
You know why!
That's why...
Because I was a failure.
I've spent my whole life falling behind them.
Can you imagine how pathetic I felt?
Pegasus!
You'd never understand...
I wanted to be strong like Seiya!
I wanted glory like Seiya!
I wanted to be cool like Seiya...
To shine brightly like he did!
Ichi-senpai?
Is that wrong?!
I feel better.
Now then, talk time is over.
Let's finish them.
Rin Pyou Tou Sha Kai Jin Retsu Zai Zen.
Sensing a trap, I split off alone, but I didn't expect it to be so serious.
Sharpen your senses, and feel it in the Earth Cosmo.
My Element...
The Earth Core.
I can see it!
What do we do?
They're gonna die!
If we knew where the Earth Core was,
we could find the Saint controlling the golems.
But... I can't tell!
Aria, come with me!
Onee-chan!
We'll stop those dolls.
But to do that, we have to find the Earth Core...
Where is it?
It should be this way.
No, you're right.
The Earth Core, where the puppeteer is...
It's...
Here!
Wolf Cloth!
Haruto!
Fuji-Style Ninpou: Nodzuchi Kuzushi!
What's happening?
I've found the Earth Core.
Right below us?
The Wolf Bronze Saint?
Colossus Live!
Fuji-Style Ninpou: Doton Housenkan!
We're leaving.
What?
It's just one Bronze!
I don't care.
The only thing that brings me joy is working on my creations.
M-Michelangelo-sama!
So that Silver Cloth is just for decoration?
Let your Cosmo burn.
The Cosmo Crystal of Earth...
I didn't think the Earth Core was this close.
Look. They're falling apart.
Looks like we have the upper hand.
What are you talking about?
You two can't beat me...
Wait.
Soma, don't touch him.
Koga...
What can you do when you're so badly poisoned?
However, if you insist,
I'll finish you off first!
Burn, my Cosmo!
No!
Shine more brightly?
A Saint's job isn't to shine.
Everyone at the Palaestra is still being held prisoner inside Babel...
And you...
And you became a Silver Saint just so you could shine.
And that satisfies you?
Ichi-senpai, you're a bigger loser now than you ever were!
S-Shut up!
You don't understand anything!
Behold my ultimate move.
I can create as many of the Hydrus fangs as I want!
Hydrus Thousand Paralyze!
Pegasus Ryu Sei Ken!
It's that same move.
I see. I'd forgotten...
The one that's not cool loses the fight.
Ichi-senpai...
Damn it, Pegasus.
Damn it...
You came to get back at me?
Don't you take pity on me!
Thanks, kid.
Look!
Come back soon, okay?
Yeah, stay well.
Let's go.
Ichi-senpai...
It's okay.
I'm sure that your light reached him.
Yeah.
