When evil gods invade the Earth,
the warriors known as Saints always appear.
A new legend of the young Saints begins now!
To foil Mars's plan,
Koga and his friends ascend the Golden Houses of Zodiac.
House of Aries
At the first shrine, the House of Aries,
Kiki repairs their damaged cloths.
Aries Kiki
But at the second shrine, the House of Taurus,
House of Taurus
Taurus Harbinger
Harbinger annihilates Koga's friends,
and they disappear.
Koga is forced to face a Gold Saint alone.
There are ten hours and fifty-seven minutes
until darkness engulfs the Earth.
Everyone disappeared?
Harbinger, what did you do with them?
Out of respect for your guts, I blew them away.
With my Greatest Horn.
Blew them away?
Yes, my fists can reach the speed of light.
I used them to create a rift in space.
What?
Now we can fight one-on-one, with no one
to bother us, just as you desired.
Let me hear the melody of your heart breaking.
Where am I?
House of Gemini
Gemini?
The House of Gemini?
Where Fate Diverges! Mystery of the House of Gemini!
Where Fate Diverges.
Mystery of the House of Gemini.
The mountain...
What's happening?
The third shrine, the House of Gemini.
Then I've ended up one shrine above the House of Taurus?
Where is everyone?
Koga-kun?
What should I do?
Head back and meet up with Koga-kun?
If it were two-on-one, we might have an advantage.
But...
We keep losing everything,
but we still have to move forward.
Koga...
Taurus...
That fool.
The Dragon child must think himself quite fortunate.
Who's there?
A squirrel?
What's it doing here?
You're Dragon Ryuho-sama, correct?
We've been awaiting you, Ryuho-sama.
I will take you to my master.
This way.
How beautiful.
But somehow unnerving.
Look! Look!
It's the Dragon child.
You're right.
I'm sure the master will be very happy!
This way.
What is this?
Please sit.
Gemini-sama is here.
The Gemini Gold Saint has arrived!
What?!
Kind and gentle Gemini-sama!
The Saint of love, Gemini-sama!
The Saint who loves more than anyone, who knows more sadness than anyone,
Gemini-sama is here!
Gemini-sama! Gemini-sama!
Hello there, Dragon child.
I am the Gemini Gold Saint, guardian of the House of Gemini.
Master of love and fate.
My name is Paradox.
Gemini Paradox
Gemini Paradox.
A female Gold Saint?
Do you know what it means for a female Saint to show her face?
A female Saint whose face is seen must kill the one who saw it, or...
Or love them...
I couldn't dodge!
I was ready for her, too!
Beautiful child...
I shall love you.
Release me!
Where are you going?
Ahead.
Wh-What?!
Welcome to Gemini's tea party.
What a splendid day.
This must be a day of fate...
Um, I have to go.
It isn't poisoned.
Don't be in such a hurry.
And wouldn't it be faster to join a Gold Saint
for tea rather than to fight her?
Thank you.
You're a good boy, Ryuho.
How did you know my name?
I've known about you for a long time.
And your father, as well.
My father?
Yes.
Dragon Shiryu.
Shiryu
I became a Saint because I admired him.
I've been a huge fan of his
since I was young, when we met by chance.
Once, I even wrote him a love letter.
Of course, that was when your father was single.
But that's why I find you so wonderful.
Because you are his son.
I can't watch someone as cute as you
die as a traitor.
Listen...
Ryuho, surrender to Mars-sama.
Paradox...
I'll talk to him for you.
Chance didn't bring you to this House.
I caused it to happen.
When Taurus sent you away, I drew you here.
To give you a chance.
Drew me here?
Listen.
Every person comes across a major crossroads in life.
In your case, that instance is now...
Now, choose one of the two:
surrender or fight.
Let me go!
Oh...
I can't surrender.
Instead, please explain...
If you admired my father, why would you obey Mars?!
Ryuho, you seem to be misinterpreting things.
Mars-sama is not evil...
No one is as filled with love as he.
Love, you say?
Yes.
I am a woman who lives for love, so I can tell.
Mars-sama's love is deeper than the sea,
more noble than the heavens.
I'm sure he will make flowers bloom in the desert and calm stormy skies.
No...
And under Mars-sama, I shall be ruler of all the world's love.
I shall give love to everyone, and be loved by everyone.
The ruler of all love!
I cannot surrender.
Thank you for the tea.
I'm going on...
Even if I must fight you.
My, what a shame...
It's become windy, darling.
Shunrei
Is something happening to Ryuho?
Ryuho, you're making the wrong choice.
I'm sure you'll regret it.
I...
We must press onward.
Even if you have to fight me?
Yes.
You cannot defeat me.
Amazing Cosmo.
Your Cosmo is beautiful and pure, like water.
But I shan't let you through.
I will be going through.
I don't want to fight a woman, but...
Suihakkei!
A splendid punch...
You must train hard.
She dodged it?
Then...
Kyouka Suigetsu!
No way.
Are you wondering how I know what attack you're going to use?
It's because I love you, Ryuho.
What?
You're the person I love.
So I know everything about you.
That's how women are...
Ryuho,
the fact that you have a frail body bothers you.
So you're panicking.
Of course you're concerned about being attacked.
But you don't want to miss any more strikes.
Missing an attack costs more stamina than sustaining a blow.
I'm right, correct?
So your next attack will be your most powerful move.
Your strongest one,
the one that's hardest to dodge.
That will be your choice.
That is correct.
If this misses, I have nothing left.
Rozan Syoryu Ha!
That choice is impossible.
And it looks like I am the better...
No, that stance...
Rozan Syoryu Ha!
This is the power of love.
How can you use the Syoryu Ha?
Because it's the attack of the one I admire.
I've practiced it hundreds more times than you.
Will you listen to my story for a while?
It happened when I was still a child...
I have always had a strange power ever since I was born.
That's why my parents didn't like me.
They thought I was a disturbing child.
Are you leaving?
Yes.
If you leave today, you'll die!
Shut up!
But then, one day...
Shiryu-sama saved me!
Yes, it was a fateful meeting; my crossroads.
He was strong and kind,
and willing to get hurt for others.
He was the greatest love itself!
I loved my family.
But my family hated me...
But he, a man I'd never met, risked his life for me.
This paradox, this contradiction...
After much thought, I became a Saint like him.
And for that, I abandoned my family, my home
and even my name.
Thus, I, Paradox, was born.
So of course I love him.
Because it was fate that brought us together.
And naturally, I love you, too...
You're Shiryu-sama's son.
Even if you are the child of that woman.
The child of the woman who stole Shiryu-sama.
But I shall forgive you with my love.
I shall give you a chance to pick...
Now, choose.
Crossroad Mirage.
Where am I?
Otherspace,
the world outside all crossroads.
Outside crossroads?
Yes.
The infinite points where fate divides.
People make an infinite number of choices
at a crossroads, without ever knowing it.
For example, here is one.
What's this?
One of the futures after a divergence.
The Earth after you lose...
You fight, hinder Mars-sama's plans,
and then, at last, fall.
It is a very probable future.
Ryuho... Ryuho!
Mother!
How sad.
You lost your five senses in the battle.
The same thing happened not just to her husband, but to her child.
You survive, but not for long...
Everyone that's left on Earth that's lost its Cosmo will all perish.
No.
But that is one choice.
There is another possible world.
What is this?
The world after you surrender...
That's impossible!
The fight ended sooner than expected,
so more people than planned
can move to the new world on Mars.
The world Mars-sama rules,
a world without fighting and suffering.
Look.
You're there, too.
Father?!
As a reward for my success,
I asked Mars-sama to heal him.
That's why I became a Gold Saint, after all.
You're lying. This is an illusion!
This future is impossible...
No, it exists.
Infinite crossroads, infinite fates.
And my power is to see them.
The power of the Gold Saint of Gemini.
I have to choose one of the two?
That's right.
No...
I can't choose either.
Stop resisting.
Resist fate's choice,
and your mind and body will be torn apart.
No...
I can't believe that not fighting will make the world better.
Yes, a paradox.
Contradiction.
Two truths that cannot both exist.
The word for this is "paradox",
in other words, my name.
Paradox...
That's right, Ryuho.
You are inside a paradox right now.
Accept the choice.
You can choose your fate.
Paradise or destruction.
Or you'll be torn asunder and die here.
But there is only one choice to make.
Did you not become a Saint for your father?
Ryuho, surrender to Mars-sama.
I shall give you a last chance to choose your fate.
Because I...
...love you.
No, he can't...
You tore apart the Crossroad Mirage with your power?
That feeling...
That feeling of yours isn't love!
Such a selfish love...
My...
So I will fight you.
But you don't even have the power to attack me...
It's useless.
Stop.
Rozan!
Syoryu Ha!
This is the power of my love.
Let my love envelope you.
You're trying to control people's fates
in the name of love.
But I will open the way to a new future,
not those you showed me.
Alongside my friends!
This is impossible!
I won?
I beat a Gold Saint?
Wh-What?
The Gemini-sama of hatred.
You can still move?
You injured a woman's face?
You scum!
Scum! Scum!
Apologize, you piece of trash!
If you can't love another.... or love me...
Then you have no right to live!
People live because they love.
People hurt because they love.
I am Paradox.
The Paradox of hatred.
Where am I?
