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.
Koga and his friends arrive at the fire ruins.
Soma unleashes his rage at Sonia,
the woman who killed his father.
With the group's help, he repels Sonia,
and destroys the Fire Ruins Core.
But Soma leaves on his own,
to settle things with Sonia.
Young men, let the Cosmo in your hearts burn!
Just look at that...
Amazing isn't it? Goroho.
You're finally here.
Haruto, it's been a while.
Jeez, how long did you plan on making me wait?
The mountain paths were rough.
Ryuho arrived some time ago.
Let's hurry.
He's so rude.
I can't believe that the water ruins are in Ryuho's native land.
So, where is Ryuho?
Waiting at his home.
What a quiet and pure Cosmo...
Is that Ryuho?
No.
The former Dragon Saint...
Shiryu.
The Secret of Goroho! Inherit Your Father, Shiryu's, Fighting Spirit!
The Secret of Goroho.
Inherit Your Father, Shiryu's, Fighting Spirit.
That's Dragon Shiryu?
He's Ryuho's father?
He lost all five of his senses.
And ever since then,
he's been meditating here.
I can believe he trained Ryuho with only his Cosmo.
His Cosmo is like a calm river,
quiet on the surface, but very deep.
Yeah.
I can feel a strong will, deep in his wounded body.
Are you Ryuho's mother?
Ryuho has told me about you.
Um, where is he?
He went to Ryuga Waterfall.
Ryuga Waterfall?
A waterfall that's further into the wilderness, also known as the Dragon Fang Waterfall.
That waterfall is the water ruins.
Then he went to the ruins alone?
To get to the Dragon Fang Waterfall,
this river must be crossed.
It's called the Dragon's Claws. The current is so violent, it can shatter rock.
It's a rather fitting name.
If I open the path, it will be easier for everyone to proceed.
If I find places in the river where the water
doesn't flow as fast...
Kyouka Suigetsu!
I've somewhat made a path.
Dragon Fang Waterfall!
The water is so fierce...
Water Cosmo?
By Sonia-sama's decree,
I will kill anyone that comes near the ruins.
A Silver Saint.
The Dragon Saint, son of Dragon Shiryu?
What fate...
My name is Mirfak.
Perseus Mirfak.
Perseus?
I'm told that your father, Dragon Shiryu,
once defeated the Perseus Saint.
My Medusa Shield will be grateful
for this chance at vengeance.
That shield...
Here I go.
I know exactly what you're trying to do.
You wish to open the way to the water ruins
on your own, so your friends won't need to do it.
Well, yeah...
Everyone must be very tired from their journey,
and from fighting with Silver Saints.
You knew a Silver Saint would guard the ruins, but you still came alone.
You care more about your friends than your own safety?
How foolish!
What can a mere Bronze do against a Silver Saint?
Kyouka Suigetsu!
Petra Brohi!
My Element is earth,
the Element that water is vulnerable to!
Bronze and Silver...
I have the overwhelming power advantage
and the superior Element.
You have no hope of winning.
None!
Pegasus Senkou Ken!
Everyone...
Are you okay?
Don't try to do everything alone.
But we made it here easily because you opened the path for us!
Everyone's Cosmo has grown!
Their Cosmo shines more brightly
after all their difficult battles?
So that's Athena?
Jumonji Ganseki Kuzushi!
Petra Brohi!
Your Element attacks are but child's play.
Laughable.
Everyone!
Very well.
Then I'll go for real, too.
No!
Don't look at the shield!
Medusa!
No...
Just like the stories.
The Perseus Cloth's Medusa Shield.
Medusa's gaze turns all who meet it into stone.
You were unable to protect your friends.
I will make you pay!
What can you do against the Medusa Shield?
Shun-san told me...
When my father fought the Perseus Saint,
he defeated the Medusa Shield,
Medusa's eyes...
And he saved Shun-san after he'd turned to stone!
If I destroy the shield...
You're running blindly, with no plan!
How will you fight without looking at the shield?
You can barely stand, so what can you do?!
That's true.
I have barely any power left.
Therefore,
I must bet everything on this single strike!
Did you think Cosmo
such as that could defeat my powerful Silver Cloth shield?
Las Alghul Gorgoneio!
Pitiful.
You want me to continue?
I can't...
Father?
Shiryu.
Because he burned so much Cosmo?
For me?
I heard his voice...
He said to make my Cosmo boil up.
Let us return to the Sanctuary, Athena.
Come...
W-Wait.
You...
I won't let you lay a finger on her.
You should have stayed down.
I cannot.
My Cosmo and Cloth...
My father sacrificed part of his life
to give them to me.
I'll restore Father...
And everyone else
to their former states!
So both father and son
sacrifice themselves for others?
Hah.
Your father, Dragon Shiryu,
sacrificed his own eyes to destroy the Medusa Shield.
For someone else.
That naiveté cost him his senses, even up till now.
He simply sits and meditates, right?
A foolish man.
No!
To live for others...
That's what a Saint does!
What nonsense!
I'll protect my friends, like my father did!
Meikyo Shishui!
So you're trying to avoid looking at the shield directly?
But water is powerless before the earth Element.
Petra Brohi!
What will you do now? Your mirror is gone!
It's all right.
I remember his location.
Boil up, my Cosmo.
Kyouka Suigetsu!
What?
However...
That won't work on the Medusa Shield!
Las Alghul Gorgoneio!
Rozan Syoryu Ha!
That won't help...
What?
Why did
the Medusa Shield...
Water can take any form.
A quiet river or a violent waterfall.
It's said that high-pressure water can cut even diamond.
I focused my Kyouka Suigetsu on a single point,
and made a small cut on the Medusa Shield.
Then I used Rozan Syoryu Ha to destroy it.
What happened to us?
Oh, good...
Ryuho!
You overused your power to save us...
We aren't done yet.
There's still the water ruins.
What's this?
I think the Water Ruins Core is disturbing it.
Soon, all the water Cosmo will be sucked up.
But how do we reach the water ruins?
No!
We're so close...
Shiryu!
What's this?
Libra...
The Libra Gold Cloth?
Libra?
The Cloth my father guards.
He inherited the Libra Cloth from his mentor,
and has been protecting it this entire time from falling into the hands of darkness.
Then, this Cloth...
Yes.
My father sent it here.
The Libra Cloth has six weapons.
Saints are not allowed to carry weapons.
But when either Athena or the Libra Saint permits,
they may use them.
Very well,
Father.
Just holding it fills me with Cosmo...
Libra Cloth, give me strength!
What power!
This is the power of a Gold Cloth?
The water ruins...
Up close, you can feel it clearly.
The gentle Cosmo surrounding you.
I was surprised how great everyone's Cosmo had gotten.
But now, I think I understand.
That Cosmo...
Everyone became stronger to protect you.
Thank you for guiding them.
Guiding?
We did it.
Now the water ruins are done.
All that's left is thunder...
What?
What is this enormous Cosmo?
It's coming this way!
Such Cosmo, and he doesn't even have a Cloth...
A strong pulse of Cosmo.
So it is here.
The Libra Cloth.
Give it to me.
I cannot give you this Cloth.
Even if you refuse,
the Cloth itself chooses me.
The Cloth...
No!
This is the Cloth's will.
You can't have Aria.
With such weakened Cosmo...
What Cosmo...
I feel like I'm going to be blown away by just trying to hold it back.
Is that
Shiryu?
Even without his senses, he still...
I doubt I could escape unscathed.
My goal was to acquire the Libra Cloth.
I shall leave for now.
Wait!
Return that Cloth!
If you don't like it, come to my location.
My name is Genmu,
the Libra Gold Saint.
I'm sorry,
Father...
I promise I'll recover the Libra Cloth.
And I will restore your senses.
I promise.
Mother, I'll be going.
Ryuho...
Sorry.
I'll be splitting off here.
Hey!
I'll catch up.
Koga-kun, I'm going with Haruto.
Ryuho?
I'll catch up later, all right?
