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.
Haruto returns to his homeland,
to reconsider how he is living his life.
There, he finds his father,
who challenges him to fight his past.
During the battle, Haruto learns the path he must travel.
Young men, let the Cosmo in your hearts burn!
As I thought.
You still have not changed your mind.
Eden allowed us to recapture Aria.
Aria's power will enable us
to make up the lost time in creating the new Sanctuary.
But we have sustained too much damage in the process.
The way their power grows so fast...
The Saints that protect the light.
Hey!
Koga-kun, Yuna!
Ryuho!
And Haruto!
I'm happy we were able to catch up.
I was right.
I'm glad you're both safe.
Attack on the Enemy Base! The Young Saints Together Again!
Attack on the Enemy Base.
The Young Saints Together Again.
I see.
So, Eden...
You eat a lot, you know?
After this, I'm taking Aria back. I'll need all the energy I can get.
Do you even know where Aria is?
I thought so...
Then do you?
Yes, I do.
Really?
Haruto, is that true?
I'm a ninja.
I learned that Aria had been taken
when I was trying to find you.
How?
I made a few of the Marsians tell me.
Where is Aria?!
Mars's castle, near Babel.
Mars's...
But Mars isn't there.
The ones we know of are Sonia and Aria,
with a few Silver Saints and Marsians.
Eden's there, too.
Okay, let's go now!
Wait, Koga-kun.
We're heading into the enemy's base.
We should prepare.
Fine.
So what have you been doing?
All kinds of things. Right, Haruto?
Hey, Haruto?
Soma...
Do you know what happened to Soma after everything?
Sorry, I haven't learned anything about Soma.
Oh...
Don't worry.
He's doing fine out there, somewhere.
That's right.
And he'll come back to us.
Yeah, you're right.
You can't sleep?
Haruto...
How long have you been there?
Only just now.
Relax a little.
You're too tense.
Haruto...
Don't misunderstand.
I don't want anyone to slow us down.
That's all.
Aria, I'm going to save you!
Wh-What?
An explosion?
Sonia-sama!
What's going on?
An enemy attack.
They're already inside the castle!
Once we're inside,
we'll split up.
She's probably on the 70th floor of the western tower.
It will be a race against time.
Be sure to memorize the fastest route.
Let's hurry.
Wait.
A Marsian?
No... This feeling. It's no ordinary Marsian.
It's someone powerful.
So that's Sonia?
How dare a traitor enter our castle?
You've saved us the trouble of hunting you down.
But you won't leave alive!
No, you don't!
Then...
Too easy.
Too slow!
Hornet Stinger!
Did she leave?
Let's go.
Our immediate priority is to recover Aria.
Pegasus Senkou Ken!
So you're the ones who interrupted my nap?
A Silver Saint?
You stupid Bronzes, disobeying the Great Pope!
I, Scutum Ennead, will not let you take another step.
I guess we'll have to fight.
His armor plates move on their own?
Then I'll just have to break them!
Th-They're so hard...
A Bronze's punch doesn't even tickle.
Koga, let's do it together!
Okay!
Pegasus Senkou Ken!
Divine Tornado!
Perfect Square!
How was that?
It didn't work.
Wh-What?
Among the Silvers, the shield of Scutum is the strongest.
You Bronzes cannot break it!
You think so, huh?
No way, that voice...
You're...
How about we try my flame?
Soma!
A new Bronze, huh?
But another one of you changes nothing.
I don't know about that.
It's a waste of time.
I'll finish you in one hit!
Lionet Bomber!
Perfect Square!
What?
Looks like your shield couldn't block my flame.
Soma!
Where have you been?
Sorry I'm late.
Man, you stole the good part.
Welcome back, Soma.
Yeah.
Soma, that was amazing!
When did you learn it?
It's the result of a lot of training.
Training?
After I left you, I followed Sonia.
I ran for three days
before I came to my senses.
I'd fought horribly.
I let my emotions control me, fighting only out of hatred.
I didn't even hear your voice.
When I thought about that, I was astonished at my own inexperience.
If I faced her again like that,
I'd let my hatred rule me once more.
But even if I returned to you,
I'd just slow you down.
I felt like I had to change.
And then I met him.
His name was
Jabu.
Looks like you're awake.
You found me?
Do you like horses?
I like horses.
They're not complicated.
You're a Saint, aren't you?
That Cosmo...
Are you an outlaw?
Wh-What?
With your Cosmo of rage pouring from you, you'll never be able to beat me.
Who are you?
Don't worry.
I'm not your enemy.
My name's Jabu.
I used to be a Saint.
Jabu?
Unicorn?
Why are you fighting?
Your angry Cosmo felt consumed by hate.
And I can feel your own hesitation in it.
Why did you fight?
Why else?
To protect those I love!
When I heard those plain, simple words,
I decided to ask him for training.
I did many exercises under his supervision.
And then...
Lionet Bomber!
Good!
Thanks for your help, Jabu.
You feel more sure of yourself now, Soma?
I don't know.
That's why I'm going to find out.
See you around, Lionet.
Good luck!
After that, I learned Sonia was here.
What are you doing here?
We came to recover Aria, after Eden stole her.
Aria was taken?
I see...
You'll come with us, right?
No, you save Aria.
I told you...
I'm here to settle things with Sonia.
Lower the bulkheads.
You all, head upstairs!
Right!
Why now, with most of the Silver Saints gone?
Where are you, Sonia?
What's happening?
I'm not getting any proper reports!
My apologies...
Where is Eden?
What is he doing now?
I'll find out immediately.
I can do it now!
You feel more sure of yourself now, Soma?
I...
Sonia!
You're that...
Why would you reveal yourself?
If you'd struck from the shadows, you might've killed me easily.
Who knows? I'm not sure myself.
You wanted to kill me, didn't you?
You feel the same way, right?
True.
I let my guard down last time, but I won't this time.
You'll see for yourself which of us is stronger.
That's enough talking.
Let's finish this!
This is it.
I'm certain.
Let's go.
Come on, you're the only one left.
Very well, I'll fight you!
Twilight Marionette!
Dance until your life ends!
An attack from all directions, at random intervals...
Then I just have to get close!
A foolish decision.
What?
Hornet Stinger!
I didn't think it would be that easy...
Aria!
She's good enough to boss around the Silver Saints!
So, his name was Soma?
He's much stronger than last time!
Flame Desperado!
Why, you...
I was right.
None of my weaker attacks will be able to beat her!
I should stop thinking of him as just another Bronze.
I'll use my ultimate technique...
I'll use everything I have...
To finish this fight!
Lionet Bomber!
Turn Back The Darkness!
She's still standing?
It's unlike his angry Cosmo from earlier...
Soma!
Looks like we've been interrupted.
We'll finish this another time.
Without fail.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I think so...
This is my dad's Cloth Stone?
Then...
Yes, Aria has already been taken away from here.
Her attendant said she left
with Eden for the lightning ruins.
We were just a little too late.
Soma, what will you do now?
Don't worry.
I'm going with you.
I haven't settled anything yet...
But back there...
I hesitated to kill her.
I...
