When evil gods invade the Earth,
the warriors known as Saints always appear.
A new legend of the young Saints begins now!
Eden decides to defeat his father,
House of Virgo
challenging the Gold Saint Virgo Fudo to a duel.
Virgo Fudo
Meanwhile, Eden knocks
Koga and his friends outside the House of Virgo.
Aquarius Tokisada
On their way toward the House of Libra,
they are attacked by Aquarius Tokisada.
There are six hours and twenty-five minutes
until darkness engulfs the Earth.
The battle is over.
Do you comprehend the path you have chosen?
I do.
But I've made my decision.
I choose a different path than my father's,
so that there will be no more sad victims like Aria.
Aria...
Then the Cosmo that fills the Houses of Zodiac is...
Yes.
My father killed Aria and sealed her Cosmo in Athena's staff.
He's using that power
to destroy the world.
Wishes...
Regrets.
Love for the departed.
I shall stay here and see whether
you or Mars
will be the one to make a righteous world.
Koga!
Where are we?
What happened?
Weren't we just on the stairs?
This is the House of Libra.
So this was your doing?
It's been a long time, young Saints.
Guardian of the House of Libra,
master of balance and harmony.
The Gold Saint...
Libra Genbu
Libra Genbu!
Reunion at the House of Libra.
Reunion at the House of Libra! A Battle of Gold Versus Gold!
A Battle of Gold Versus Gold.
House of Libra
He's the one who...
The man who stole my father's Cloth right in front of us.
In other words, another enemy.
Two Gold Saints...
This is getting bad.
Friend or enemy.
Good or evil.
Which you are depends on whom you ask.
What you believe, and under whose banner you fight.
What you consider good and what you decry as evil.
As the world is on the brink of destruction, man must make a choice.
What are you trying to say?
Ryuho, do you remember
the moment when the Libra Cloth chose me?
For ages, it has fallen to the Libra Gold Saint
to determine good and evil.
Dohko.
Shiryu.
And myself, Genbu.
We are all Gold Saints chosen by the Libra Cloth.
Th-Then...
Athena is always in the right.
And we always fight for Athena...
That is what a true Gold Saint does!
Then you are my enemy?
Correct.
He who would join Mars to stand against Athena
would stand against the world.
And that makes him my enemy!
Do you understand what it means for us to fight?
Of course.
He is an enemy.
Destroy him.
What's going on?
Is Genbu on our side?
Then let's help him.
No.
I do not require your help in this battle!
Why not?
Observe well, young Saints...
This is a fight between two Gold Saints!
You may use the Libra weapons if you wish.
I won't need them.
He doesn't need our aid?
Well, I'm going to help anyway.
I swore I wouldn't run away again!
Me, too.
Wh-What?
The Cosmo of the Gold Saints is colliding...
What a massive Cosmo.
And there are no gaps!
It's impossible.
We won't be able to do anything.
The Cosmo is so strong, merely being near it blows us away.
And there are two.
Here I go, Tokisada...
No, Aquarius!
There he goes!
But his attack can manipulate time.
We couldn't do anything against it!
Even a Gold Saint...
Defeat him.
I control time, and thus I am invincible.
Fist of Time.
Genbu, I've slowed the flow of time around you by half.
Now you will be easy to...
What?
U-Unbelievable!
Gold versus Gold...
I never thought it would be this amazing!
It's too fast to follow.
How? My techniques...
Yes, they're working.
But you overlooked something...
It seems you don't understand, Aquarius.
You are fighting a Gold Saint.
You're fighting Libra Genbu!
You look like you've seen a ghost.
Wh-Why?
Why doesn't my attack work?!
It's simple.
If you cut my speed in half,
I need but move twice as fast.
That's all there is to it.
So that's it.
Defeat him! Defeat him!
In other words, I must only slow time
to the point that you can no longer compensate.
Fist of Time!
Genbu, let us fight and see
if your speed or my mastery over time will triumph!
Sounds good to me!
One thousand wars...
A match between Gold Saints is said to be like a battle of a thousand days,
because their power is evenly matched.
As the name implies, the fight always ends in a stalemate!
Then the battle will never end?
Seriously?
If that's true,
why would Genbu challenge Tokisada?
He must have some plan.
Indeed.
Otherwise, he'd never fight another Gold Saint.
What do you mean?
When two Gold Saints fight,
one of two things happens.
It's a deadlock, or both are annihilated.
Genbu, I will slow time even more around you.
Let's see how long you can keep up.
Aquarius,
I can tell you now...
You'll never defeat me.
I don't know about that.
Then I'll show you the difference between us!
You're wide open.
You're wide open!
Rozan Shinbuken!
Rozan?
Just like Ryuho?
Rozan Shinbuken?
Why is he using a Rozan technique?
It's simple.
I had the same master as your father, Shiryu.
Th-Then you're...
Indeed.
Aged Master (Dohko)
I am Dohko's last student.
We were both pupils of Dohko.
And thus, just like your father, Shiryu,
trained at Goroho.
And now, as Shiryu can no longer move,
I have carried on his will with this Libra Cloth.
Ryuho, you are my comrade's son.
There's nothing strange about both of us using a Rozan technique.
Then...
Shiryu never trusted me
after I left our master, refusing to become a Saint.
He threatened me.
Shiryu
I figured that wouldn't knock him out...
Have you forgotten, Genbu?
I am the master of time.
Time Reverse!
That's...
No!
The damage is being repaired!
Not only can he control the flow of time,
but he can reverse it?
Now, let's try that again.
Sonia...
Now you can finally help Mars-sama.
I'm counting on you.
I shall correct Eden's mistake!
Medea-sama?
You're going, aren't you?
I won't stop you.
I have something to give you.
I'm sure it will be of use to you.
They're going faster?
W-Wow.
At a glance, they appear evenly matched, but...
Doesn't that mean Tokisada has the advantage?
Tokisada can undo any damage, right?
Then...
We'll know eventually.
Time Reverse!
It seems this is the end...
You have no hope of winning now.
I told you, Aquarius, that you could never beat me.
Defeat him.
Finish him!
Ten seconds.
In ten seconds, Genbu, you will be dead.
Fist of Time!
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
Five.
It's over.
Chrono Execution!
Zero.
Execution complete.
What?
You lose!
Time...
It seems you've controlled time too much.
You've used far more Cosmo than you're capable of.
Wh-What?
You still haven't realized the difference between us?
The difference?
There is no difference.
You have used Cosmo beyond your limits, as well.
That's true.
Just as you've been controlling time,
I've been using massive amounts of Cosmo
to fight at a speed past my capabilities.
But I can still fight!
What?
If you don't know, let me tell you...
The difference between you and me.
That is...
That is?
The fact that your Cloth controls you!
You are a Gold Saint,
but you're a servant to the Aquarius Cloth,
just a puppet being controlled!
While I am a true warrior, chosen by my Cloth!
I, who fight with the Libra Cloth, could never lose to you!
Kill him.
Kill him, Tokisada!
It's futile...
The battle is over!
Chrono Execution!
Rozan Joteiha!
The battle is finished.
Curse you, Genbu.
Genbu-san!
Ryuho.
I wanted the chance to speak to you further.
You have honest eyes, like your father.
No, I'm not like Shiryu.
I was a poor student...
I would skip training, earning frequent lectures from my master.
Genbu!
You have talent, but you lack the dedication required for training.
But seriously...
One day, your hour will come.
Make good use of your time now,
so you have no regrets when that hour comes.
I was torn about wearing the Libra Cloth.
But I thought that a righteous will is something
that must be passed on.
I had no idea you were on our side...
I'm sorry for my words.
No, it's fine.
It was the only way.
Yes.
Young Saints, let us hurry.
Athena...
The real Athena
has been taken to Mars, where she is to be sacrificed.
We must defeat Mars and save Athena,
to restore balance to this world.
We must defeat Mars as soon as possible!
Saori-san...
Is something wrong, Koga?
No.
It's the same either way.
I will defeat Mars.
Because he's the one who began everything!
What?
This is...
Mars...
No, Medea?
They plan to abandon the Houses of Zodiac?
What's going on?
They should still need the Houses of Zodiac!
Now, what will you do, Genbu?
At this rate, the Houses of Zodiac will be destroyed.
You are the Gold Saint who maintains
the balance of the Houses of Zodiac.
You cannot ignore this.
You must hurry onward!
But...
I will stay here and stop the Houses of Zodiac from falling apart.
The shaking is stopping?
Genbu is doing this?
Now go, and save Athena!
So this is the result of controlling time too much?
I cannot simply withdraw.
What?
Tokisada!
Everyone, get away from Tokisada!
You'll be sent to the end of time!
You bastard!
Haruto...
I will take you all to the end of time.
I won't let you!
Haruto...
Haruto!
Th-They disappeared?
Haruto...
Ryuho.
Haruto!
Ryuho!
Let's hurry.
Koga, you...
Have faith.
They'll come back...
So we must hurry!
Koga...
Right.
Let's go.
House of Scorpio
