Atomic Thunderbolt!
That's...
Pallas's castle?
Let's go!
Break the Iron Gate! Halberd of Pegasus and Shield of the Dragon!
Break the Iron Gate.
Halberd of Pegasus and Shield of the Dragon.
The path splits...
Which way is Pallas?
Let's ask them!
Well, not that they'd tell us.
I didn't think they'd make this easy.
We don't know which is the right way,
how many Pallasites wait,
or how they will try to stop us...
But one of these paths should lead to Pallas.
If we keep fighting them, we'll reach her eventually.
Pallasites,
we are Saints of Athena.
We have come to defeat Pallas, who would kill Athena...
We're going through!
We won't let you!
Get them!
He shot them all down...
Who are you?!
I am the Gold Saint, Sagittarius Seiya.
Se-Seiya!
That is the legendary Gold Saint, Sagittarius Seiya!
Let us meet at Pallas's castle.
Stop him! Stop him, no matter what!
Seiya!
It's dangerous to go alone!
He's trying to draw the Pallasites away.
Let's get going.
Seiya will reach the castle, no matter what.
Let's go!
Athena, why not rest a while?
The Saints are fighting...
As Athena, I cannot simply rest.
Athena...
Your love for the Saints is noble.
But if you should collapse from exhaustion,
all would be lost.
Fudo,
how do you see this fight?
Your life sustains us all, and it's being drained by the second.
The endless battles are taking their toll on the Saint's numbers.
I must admit, this is a bad situation.
However, there is still hope.
The number of soldiers is important,
but it does not always determine a fight's outcome.
What will most likely decide this fight's result is
Omega.
Omega?
The Pallasite King's Holy Blade, which took Genbu's life.
If its true wielder were to appear,
the Saints' Cosmo would not be strong enough to defeat them in their current state.
The Seventh Sense, the ultimate level of Cosmo...
Beyond it is a zone called "Omega."
If someone appears who can awaken to Omega,
which not even the Gold Saints of ages past were able to do,
then it's possible...
Athena...
For now, let us wait.
If there is still some hope...
Let us have faith that the Saints will awaken to Omega.
I can feel it.
Athena-oneesama's life flows into me.
I have a report, Titan-sama.
The Saints have entered Pallasvelda.
He's here, then?
Sagittarius Seiya?
Yes.
He's moving southwest alone.
Keep an eye on him.
If it weren't for the Saints, I could see Athena now.
Titan, go finish them!
Send word to all Pallasites...
Deploy our forces around Pallasvelda,
and keep the intruder Saints away.
Yes, sir!
You don't need all the Pallasites.
I'll kill them all myself!
Pallasvelda...
Why would the Pallasites build this town?
This isn't a Pallasite town.
Look carefully.
Could it be...
Yes, the Pallasites stopped their time.
The Pallasites didn't create this town.
They stole it from humans!
How terrible!
Look at all the buildings here...
There must have been many people.
Damn those Pallasites...
What?!
I've been waiting, Saints of Athena!
You are Tarvos!
It's been a long time, Pegasus.
Tarvos?
Isn't he a lot bigger than the last time?
I put on my full-armor Chronotector.
It's defense can deflect any attack,
and it also has the power to destroy everything.
It's the ultimate Chronotector!
Now I am invincible.
If you want to make it through... All of you, come and get me!
You want to fight us all by yourself?
Yeah, I'll be more than enough.
You must not think much of us.
Come on, Saints.
Leave this to us.
There's plenty of distance between us, and he's a big, easy target.
You use your bodies as weapons,
so we Steel Saints are better suited to this fight.
Get ready!
Fire!
After all those attacks, he's unharmed?
Now it's my turn.
I'll smash you and your Cloths!
Hyper Iron Meteo!
Fire!
Guys!
He's so strong.
I can see why he'd think he could fight us alone.
He's capable of offense and defense... An invincible iron gate!
This is the path to Pallas.
But you won't be able to advance,
and you won't be able to run.
You'll all die right here.
I'll fight him.
You guys, take another path.
Koga!
You're going to fight alone?
We've got unfinished business.
So we'll settle it here!
All right, Pegasus!
I'm not interested in the wimpy ones.
Let's enjoy this fight.
Just you and me, one-on-one!
There isn't time... Go!
Very well.
We'll see you at Pallas's castle.
Yeah.
You want all the glory for yourself?
I'm staying.
Subaru, what have you learned about Koga?
Have you ever seen him fight for glory or to show off?
If you're a Saint, you should know what you have to do now.
Stand up.
Can you walk?
I've been waiting for this day, Pegasus.
With this Hyper Star Crusher, I'll destroy you and your Cloth!
Prepare yourself.
I'm ready.
I came here ready to fight.
But the people of this town are different.
They're innocent...
They can't fight.
But you took their town and...
What were you saying about the town?
Tarvos, I will defeat you!
Just try!
Wonderful...
Those eyes, that face, that fighting spirit!
I can't wait to crush them!
What's wrong?
You hate me, right?
You're mad at me, right?
Then come at me even harder!
I'll give you what you want—my fist!
Pegasus Ryu Sei Ken!
It didn't work.
Hyper Iron Meteo!
This is the end...
Bye-bye, Pegasus!
What?
Ryuho!
Sorry I'm late.
I was taking the wounded to safety.
Why did you come back?
To fight with you, of course.
I can take that guy myself.
That's what you always say... You always go alone!
That's why I'm worried...
You don't fear injury,
so you don't focus enough on defense.
Defense?
This isn't the time for that...
We must get through, no matter what.
Even as we speak, Athena's life is...
Wait, Koga-kun...
Koga-kun!
Koga!
I'm telling you to think.
You're not the only one who's angry at the Pallasites!
Ryuho...
Aren't we going to Pallas's castle?
If you keep recklessly fighting this guy, there's no way you'll make it.
Who are you?
I am the Dragon Bronze Saint, Ryuho.
Dragon, you said?
I'm only interested in Pegasus.
Get lost, wimp!
Come and see if I am a wimp.
You talk big...
But it's time for bed, kiddo!
You blocked my Hyper Star Crusher not once, but twice...
What is that shield?
This is the shield of the Dragon,
the strongest shield of all the Saints.
It's been reborn even tougher.
It is the strongest shield in existence.
The strongest?
How stupid.
A Bronze's shield can't be the strongest!
Sure it can.
You can't break it.
You brat.
Fine...
I'll shatter that shield into pieces!
That morning star and Chronotector...
He is an invincible iron gate.
But not completely invincible.
What do we do?
No attack from long range will scratch that Chronotector.
Get as close as you can, then attack from point-blank range.
But if we try to get close, his weapon will stop us.
Koga, be my halberd.
Halberd?
In China, there is an ancient story.
About a merchant who sells a halberd that can break any shield
and a shield that can block any halberd.
But a customer asked what would happen if the two were to collide,
and the merchant couldn't answer.
It's a paradox.
But this is what I think.
If they collide, it'll be a paradox.
But if they worked together, they could overcome any obstacle.
A halberd and shield working together...
Charge forward, like a halberd.
Just focus on attacking.
I shall defend you.
I'll block all of Tarvos's morning star attacks with my Dragon Shield.
I'll be a shield to defend you, Koga!
Ryuho, you...
You're strong, so perhaps you could handle this yourself.
But occasionally, I'd like you to ask for help.
We're friends, right?
Right.
Ryuho, I'll be your halberd.
You be my shield!
Yeah.
Are you done, Bronze brats?
Let's go, Ryuho!
Right, Koga!
I'll blow you all away!
Hyper Iron Meteo!
That Chronotector is incredibly thick and strong.
But it's heavy, so he can't move quickly. So you can hit him with ease.
Aim carefully and make sure you hit him!
Yeah.
Pegasus Ryu Sei Ken!
You little...
Stupid shield...
If I can't destroy the shield, I'll blow you and it away!
Taste my ultimate super Hyper Star Crusher!
Iron Meteo Bazooka!
Your tiny little shield can't block that!
If you don't run, you and your shield will be blown away.
I don't have the option of running...
I'll protect him.
Because Koga is my friend, and he trusted me!
Rise, my Cosmo!
Rozan Syoryu Ha!
Y-You...
Where's Pegasus?
Right here.
Pegasus Sui Sei Ken!
Shine, my Cosmo!
Koga, go!
Pegasus
Rolling Crush!
I can't move.
Oh, no...
How?
How could I lose to a mere Bronze Saint?
How?
There's one simple reason.
You're alone,
and I have friends.
That's all.
Friends?
How stupid...
We did it.
Yeah!
Tarvos was defeated, then?
Yes, sir.
The Bronze Saint Pegasus destroyed him and his Chronotector.
Pegasus...
The man whose Cloth has defeated gods?
Titan, I'm sorry for your loss.
You must be disappointed to lose one of your men.
Disappointed?
Actually, I'm pleased.
Why would you be pleased?
Tarvos lost his life fulfilling his duty as a Pallasite.
He delayed the Saints.
Albeit not for long.
But...
During that time, Pallas-sama has grown.
I was quite surprised when Athena went to such measures
in order to find the location of Pallasvelda
No, that's the Athena-oneesama I love.
Brave and dignified...
She never gives up or runs away.
She'll come here to defeat me, regardless of the price.
This Cosmo...
This is Pallas-sama's Cosmo!
I can't wait to see you, Athena-oneesama.
