When evil gods invade the Earth,
the warriors known as Saints always appear.
A new legend of the young Saints begins now!
Amor's plan causes Koga to lose control of his darkness Cosmo.
But Yuna manages to stop this,
sending him on, toward Mars.
There is one hour
until darkness engulfs the Earth.
The War God Rages! Mars and Ludwig!
The War God Rages.
Mars and Ludwig.
Kneel before me, feeble humans.
Soon, Aria's light will lead
all the Cosmo on Earth to Mars.
Mars will become a new Earth,
one of true peace.
Mars, where are you?
Mars is so close...
There?
His darkness Cosmo has not yet vanished.
Not yet...
Mars!
Young Pegasus, I have a question for you.
Is this world beautiful?
What?
This world that Athena rules... Is it filled with justice?
This world continues to make the wrong choices,
and never lets itself be corrected!
Shut up...
Speak for yourself! Stop doing all these terrible things!
Return Saori-san!
To repeat this foolishness?
That's what you did!
Do you think you can beat me?
I refuse to accept your justice...
For hurting the ones I care about,
I will never forgive you!
For the sake of those who led me here,
I will defeat you and protect this world!
Pegasus Ryu Sei Ken!
So you've awakened to the Seventh Sense, Pegasus?
Is your Cosmo...
Your will no stronger than this?
Luber Sidus Gungnir!
Can you no longer stand, weakling?
It is not I who brings chaos to the world.
Weaklings such as you lead the world into evil.
No.
You lack the resolve to overcome any obstacle.
To steal, crush, and to abandon everything you care about,
all for the sake of your objective.
That is what separates those who are satisfied with the present
from those who would change the world.
Someone without such a resolve cannot defeat me.
This is the end, young Pegasus.
This is...
Stop it,
Father.
Eden...
I cannot agree with your actions, either.
Please do not sacrifice the Earth.
If you send Earth's Cosmo to Mars, to create new life there,
it may become a paradise.
But that paradise will be forged atop a hell.
Beneath it will lie human bodies and blood.
Can such a world really be allowed?
I will never accept such a world.
You just asked whether my actions can be allowed, yes?
Yes.
I shall answer.
No one else will allow it.
But I shall!
Because I am Mars...
I am a god!
Pisces Amor
It's sad that you cannot see your own weakness.
I will defeat you, and follow Koga and Eden!
Give up and surrender.
The weak and small must kneel before the mighty.
That is the way of the universe.
And why is this?
Because to obey the strong is the desire of the weak.
It brings them pleasure.
That's ridiculous!
People just follow what they're told.
And they are led by the strong!
Father,
I will protect the future of this Earth.
Eden.
My son...
Can you not understand?
If you walk this path built on despair and hatred,
and allow the dead to determine your direction,
it will all amount to nothing.
Father...
Once, before my body became that of a god,
I was like you are now.
Exactly like me?
Yes.
When I was once the human named Ludwig.
Welcome back, Ludwig-sama.
Are you doing well, everyone?
Yes.
Welcome back, Father!
Sonia...
Were you a good girl?
Yup!
I learned to play the minuet...
I didn't make a single mistake.
I see...
You really are good, Sonia.
Welcome back, my love.
Thank you for all your hard work.
Yes, it's good to be home, Mischa.
Mischa, after tomorrow's emergency government meeting,
I should have some time off.
We should be able to attend that concert you were looking forward to.
That's wonderful!
I'll have to pick Sonia up from preschool first.
Will that be all right?
Yes, it's fine.
I want to go, too!
I think you might want to wait until you're older.
That's not true!
Try to go a little faster.
Mischa's death had no meaning...
It didn't gain anyone anything!
It made no logical sense at all.
But that was the end of her!
Did Mischa commit such a great crime as to warrant death?
Did her death change anything?
No, nothing changed.
I hate this world's violence and terror.
I must right it.
I must right it, or Mischa will not be saved.
I must right it, or I will not be saved.
To put the world right, I began to act.
But the ones who had truly killed Mischa
were weak-hearted men you could find anywhere,
those who were afraid of others!
What was it, Mischa?
What was the purpose of your death?
The death of a terrorist or two means nothing...
The whole society of Earth is wrong.
And so I awoke as Mars, the god of war!
With a destiny to change the world.
You're just forcing your idea of justice on others!
Then do you know what justice is?
Justice is that which does not waver.
It does not fall, it does not falter, it does not retreat.
Eden!
When you were born, my resolve became resolute.
Yes, everything has been for you, Eden.
I will destroy this tainted world,
and build a new one.
And if that can be realized, I no longer care what happens to my own life.
Father...
You're saying it's not just that you don't care about
Saori-san or Aria, but not even yourself?
You'd sacrifice yourself for this new world?
Yes.
Under Athena, this evil cycle will never end.
The endless wars will shed meaningless blood forever.
And I am the one who will stop this.
This is the battle I have begun.
My name is Mars, bringer of war and revolution.
You, of the old world, must be destroyed.
And Athena, your light will be my new world's foundation!
Just then, Pegasus's fist struck me...
Great darkness,
if you feel this storm of raging Cosmo,
answer my call.
Holy darkness, which destroys all...
Grant us the power to defeat Athena...
What?
At this rate...
I'll stop it...
I won't let it go any further!
What's happening?!
Oh, no!
Where's the other one?
What a tremendous light Cosmo.
Release that child, Mars!
A child who has inherited Athena's Cosmo!
Mars!
Aria...
And I gained the great power of darkness,
and challenged Athena and the Saints once more.
Ryu Sei Ken!
Seiya!
I will not disappear so easily!
After the blast of darkness, I fell into a slumber.
And at last, I acquired the true Athena.
So that she could rest as the cornerstone of my new world.
To ensure that the life and peace of Aria's new world will be eternal!
Aria...
I... I don't want that new world.
I don't want it, Father!
Do you not know how much Aria loved this world?
Before she died, she entrusted this world to me!
I cannot lose it!
Fool!
There is no salvation for this world...
And as long as you obsess over it,
you will lose Aria again and again.
Be strong, Eden!
Behold me!
Burn away your weak heart which brings disaster.
Become a monster, Eden!
You are no longer human...
You are indeed the god of war.
