New Cloth Chapter
You're still here?
Of course I am.
Pegasus Koga, I will defeat you!
Wh-Why did you save me?
Did you want to fall into the sea?
Of course not!
Where are we going?
The headquarters of the Saints...
The Sanctuary.
Reunited! Soma, Ignite Your Soul's Flames!
Reunited.
Soma, Ignite Your Soul's Flames.
Goddess Athena, Kido Saori
Seiya, raise your head.
Sagittarius Seiya
I no longer
have the right to stay at your side.
I knew they were your enemies, yet I could not harm them.
I am a failure as a Saint!
One may pity a young child, even if it is your enemy.
You are a true Saint.
No, I am a fool!
No, I am the fool.
"If we can stop Pallas's revival, perhaps we can avoid this battle."
That was my thought...
But that would have never happened.
Since the age of myth, Athena has been the goddess of war.
I am destined to keep fighting.
But just like you, I am uncertain.
As a goddess,
I must answer Pallas's challenge and defeat her.
But as a person, should I really be fighting?
I do not know.
My own failures have caused you pain.
I am truly sorry.
You always worry about others, and never about yourself...
And for my sake, you're always getting injured.
I am fine, Athena.
I will protect you!
Thank you, Seiya.
Is this a coliseum?
Yes.
The gate for those who are destined to fight.
What?
I am...
The Bronze Saint,
Ophiuchus Shina
Pegasus Koga.
Shina-san!
It's been a long time, Koga.
I guess both you and your Cloth have grown a bit.
I like the look in your eyes.
Really?
It's a pain in the butt to carry now.
But it's more powerful than before, yes?
That is the Cloth's true form.
It's been a long time...
But what are you doing here?
Athena asked us to increase security here.
So I'm watching the gate.
A girl watching the gate?
The Saints must be hard-up for people...
My name is Subaru.
The man who will become a god.
Remember that.
A god, huh?
Koga, Athena's waiting.
Hurry up and go.
Yeah.
Hold it.
Beyond this gate are the holy grounds where Athena dwells,
the Sanctuary.
No one but Saints may enter.
I'm a Steel Saint!
I have a Cloth!
The Steel Saints have mechanical Cloths, right?
Those aren't real Cloths.
Just let me through!
Hey!
Damn you!
You're a loser, kid...
A girl just threw you into the air.
Saori-san!
Koga,
you seem well.
What's wrong, Saori-san?
You don't look well... Are you okay?
I'm fine.
For now.
For now?
What do you mean?
A new enemy has appeared.
You mean the Pallasites?
Yes.
The Goddess Pallas.
My younger sister.
Younger sister?
Pallas despises me.
She's after me, personally.
Saori-san!
Using this spiral ring, Pallas steals my power.
At this rate, I won't last more than a year.
A y-year?
Pallas will target you Saints, too.
Koga,
I'd like you to disperse this information to Saints across the world.
And renew our bonds, in preparation for the coming battle...
Saori-san?
Did you not hear Athena's orders, Koga?
Seiya...
We Gold Saints will guard Athena.
And the Silver Saints are searching for Pallas.
The Bronzes are to contact as many Saints as possible,
and prepare for battle.
Koga... Please.
Seiya, you'd better do your job and protect Saori-san!
I'll be mad if something happens to her.
You don't need to tell me.
It is a Saint's job to protect Athena.
I'll be back, Saori-san.
Who are you?
I am Ophiuchus Shina.
A Silver Saint.
And Koga's tutor, for what it's worth.
I've not fallen so far that I'd lose to a little child like you.
So go home...
I'm going to become strong.
I'll defeat Koga,
and become a god!
What was that?
Bye, Shina-san.
Koga!
Where are you going?
To see my friends.
Wait!
Subaru... Exactly who is he?
Athena is the goddess who protects the love and peace of this world.
And the Saint's job is to protect her.
Each Saint has a Guardian Constellation.
Thus, there are as many Saints as constellations.
What is your Guardian Constellation, Soma-senpai?
I am the Lionet.
What does a Cloth look like?
Show us, Soma-senpai!
No way...
You only don a Cloth when you need it.
Yo! This is the Hydra Cloth!
Ichi-senpai!
You're not supposed to put on your Cloth for no reason...
Hydra Ichi
Shut up!
Soma, I have seniority here.
So why are you lecturing the new students?
The teachers asked me to tell them about being a Saint.
Then let's see who's stronger!
Saints are not allowed to duel.
Ichi, you've been a Saint for years, but you still don't understand?
I want to lecture the new students, too...
Ow.
You're wide open.
Koga!
Yo.
And...
Who are you?
What do you think of the new Palaestra?
Hard to believe the Marsians ever wrecked the place, isn't it?
What's the security like?
Security?
The gate's pretty thick...
And Athena put up a barrier.
So no one from the outside can get in.
Soma—
And these are the new students who recently started.
Are they all Saints?
No, they're Saint candidates.
Geki
The Palaestra is where Saints train.
During the fight with Mars and Abzu, we lost many Saints...
So now, we're primarily training new Saints.
And as we don't have enough teachers, I'm filling in.
Who are they?
Oh...
They're Steel Saints.
Athena owns a company called the Graude Foundation,
which develops Steel Cloths.
They fight with those Cloths.
They're basically mechanical Saints.
Their Cloths are different,
but like us, they want to protect Athena.
You should've said so.
I'm not like that...
Are you a Steel Saint, too?
What's your name?
Subaru.
You're Subaru?
The Commander of the Steel Saints told me about you.
I was told you have talent and a future.
I'm the guy who will defeat Koga, and become a god.
Steel Saints are not allowed to duel other Saints, either.
Saints exist to protect Athena.
Protect?
I don't want to protect anything.
I want to get stronger and defeat Pegasus...
Ow!
You should join the Palaestra now.
I'll beat these ridiculous ideas out of you!
L-Let me go...
Your new friend is weird.
By the way, I've been wondering...
What's that big box?
My new Cloth.
Huh?!
Cloth?
Soma, what happened to your Cloth?
Huh? I haven't worn it lately...
The fight's over.
Our battle with the god of darkness, Abzu, ended.
But the next fight has already begun.
My spear is Brionac, the piercer.
May it bring me victory.
Wh-What?
What's this?
I am a Class-3 Pallasite...
Class-3 Pallasite, Loge
The Spear-Bearer, Brionac Loge.
Future Saints, I have come to kill you.
New Cloth Chapter
Impossible...
Athena's barrier protected that gate.
Athena?
My spear, Brionac,
pierce Athena.
Right now, Pallas-sama is taking Athena's life, minute-by-minute.
As she is weakened, breaking her barrier is simple.
I will protect Athena!
Let's go, Pegasus.
Pegasus Koga
That is the Pegasus Cloth?
Go, Pallasite bees!
Everyone...
Take care.
If you're stung, you'll be paralyzed and completely unable to move.
I'll join you!
Lionet Soma
Lionet Burning Fire!
Everyone, stay close.
Not bad.
I'll join in, too.
Come, Steel Cloth!
Steel Saint Subaru
Time, stop before me...
Chrono Delayed!
H-Hey, what happened?
What's this?
Pallas-sama gave Chronotectors to the Pallasites,
and we're able to stop time...
Only those with strong Cosmo can move.
Geki-sensei!
Now, then... You will face ten thousand Pallasite bees.
Once you're weakened,
I will kill you personally.
My Cloth will block your needles...
Wh-Why?
Your Cloths
cannot block the Pallasite bee stingers.
Koga, I'll take care of him...
You deal with the bees.
Got it.
Dance like a fool.
Needle Dance!
You are only a Bronze Saint. Don't you dare touch me.
What was I thinking?
I underestimated the situation, thinking the fight was over,
even though you never know when a fight will begin.
I'm a Saint!
How many of them are there?
Nice.
I'll borrow this!
Hey, let's fall back.
I will not.
Why?
I have something I must protect.
What will you do? At this rate...
Soma's here.
Soma isn't so weak that he'd lose this fight.
He'll get up, no matter what.
Now, then...
Who should I finish off first?
Hey, bee-boy!
Who are you calling "bee-boy"?
You, fly-guy!
I am not a fly!
I'll start with you!
Oh, what happened to your martial spirit, Bronze?
What do you think this place is?
How hard do you think everyone worked
to rebuild the Palaestra?
And now you're trying to destroy it again?
So what?
There's nothing you can do about it.
Your gate's broken, and your friends can't help.
Why fight, when it's hopeless?
That doesn't matter!
My soul burns like fire, and it shouts...
It tells me to defeat you!
Burn, my Cosmo!
Lionet Bomber!
An attack like that won't break my Chronotector.
Sit and watch from the sidelines.
And cry at your helplessness, and despair.
I won't let you pass!
You can barely move... What can you do?
I won't, even if it costs my life...
Don't worry.
After I've killed you, I'll deal with the rest.
Bye-bye.
I'm back, Soma.
Koga!
Didn't the Pallasite bees kill you?
Too bad...
We took care of them.
Mostly... Mostly me.
Impossible...
My Pallasite bees...
Neutralized by a mere Bronze Saint?
My spear, Brionac,
pierce the Cloth of Pegasus!
Someone who relies on weapons or servants
won't defeat me!
Pegasus Ryu Sei Ken!
Curse you, Bronzes...
Why did your Cloth power up?
I don't know.
Because you are Pegasus.
Normally, the Cloth Repairer restores a Cloth.
But the Pegasus Cloth has defeated gods,
bathing in their blood since the age of myth.
I think it has a power beyond human understanding.
Bloodstained Pegasus.
I'm quitting my job teaching at the Palaestra.
I can't stay this way!
I need to train more as a Saint.
You were always doing this as a favor.
Soma, fulfill your duty as a Saint.
Koga, let's go to Jamir!
I'll have Kiki repair my Cloth, and I'll repay you for what you did today.
Right.
