Athena and Pallas.
Once, these two goddesses were close,
and now, they must fight.
What tricks fate plays...
Indeed, such a tragedy.
Now then, what will become of them?
Athena and Pallas! Final Battle Between the Goddesses!
Athena and Pallas.
Final Battle Between the Goddesses.
Seiya...
Wait.
I'll go instead.
I had the chance to defeat Pallas...
But I let her go.
I'll make up for that mistake now.
Sagittarius...
No, Seiya.
Stay back.
There's no need to trouble yourself over Pallas.
This is my sin to atone for.
My naïveté brought this upon us.
After she revived, I should have been the one
to defeat the young Pallas.
But I could not do it.
This Cosmo is... Pallas...
You saw my hesitation,
and you took the dagger to slay Pallas.
And I was unable
to stop you.
But my naïveté has caused much tragedy.
Many people of Earth have had their time stolen,
and Saints have lost their very lives.
Now it is time for me to do my duty.
As the goddess who protects Earth,
I shall defeat the Goddess Pallas!
All right.
Pallas.
Athena-oneesama...
I've waited so long for this day, for this moment.
When my beloved Athena-oneesama and I would meet once more...
I'm sure that you have forgotten the past.
The gardens of Olympus, where the gods live...
The ancient Age of Myth...
We were so close then.
So close that they said we were like one goddess.
However,
our happiness was not eternal.
And the war began between humans and gods.
Your love was no longer mine alone.
You shared it with the humans.
That's why I then decided...
To destroy them all, to win you back.
To annihilate the humans.
Yes...
That is why I was forced
to fight and slay you.
It was such a tragic battle...
And you would make the same mistake?
No, you are the one making the mistake.
Humans are stupid and ugly.
They are poisonous insects that do nothing but pollute the Earth.
Can you really call yourself the Earth's protector
when you let them run unchecked?
Humans are not evil!
They may not be perfect, but someday, they will grow up...
Perhaps into something great.
Just as a mere bug can become a butterfly.
No, humans are not worthy of being loved by the gods.
But you gave them all your love,
and you forgot about me.
I've never forgotten—
Liar!
That's why you killed me.
Because you forgot me...
Because you loved the humans more than you loved me!
That's why I revived!
That's why I agreed to his plan...
To wipe the humans,
those ugly bugs that cling to you, from this Earth.
"His"?
Oh, you don't need to worry about that.
Come back to me, Athena-oneesama...
And we can be close, like we were in the Age of Myth...
And destroy all who stand in our way.
I'm sorry.
No matter what I say, you won't listen, will you?
No, there's nothing more to be said between us.
Let's play, Onee-sama...
Like we did so long ago.
Pallas, it seems this is our fate, after all.
That Cosmo...
Yes, I felt the explosion of two huge Cosmos...
At last, the time has come for goddess to fight goddess.
Saori-san is going to fight...
Let's go, everyone.
We'll fight, too...
Yeah!
Hold it...
Subaru?
What can we do?
Athena and Pallas are both goddesses.
In a battle between gods, what can we do?
No matter how hard we struggle,
there's a huge difference between the powers of gods and humans.
That also goes for Saints.
So why is everyone trying to go?
Hey, what's gotten into you?
It's a bit late to turn tail and run...
Yeah.
You may be right.
Koga...
But I'm going anyway.
Saori-san is...
Athena is fighting for humanity.
I can't just stand back and watch.
And I won't let the fate of the world be decided without me...
I'm not letting that happen!
Yeah.
You have to be the one who decides what happens in your own life.
You know that, don't you?
Yeah, you're right.
Let's go, then!
Yeah.
Subaru...
I believe in humanity's power.
You've already learned this,
that humans are far more powerful than you imagine.
That's why
I am even willing to oppose a god.
So that I can be myself.
That's right...
I'll believe in myself, too.
That's Athena's Cloth?
And Pallas's Chronotector?
Nothing less from the robes of the goddesses.
What power...
Finally,
the time has come for the goddesses to cross blades?
Athena...
Pallas-sama...
Pallas...
I'll say this one last time.
Do you truly want to kill me?
Yes...
If you will not be mine,
then you can die.
That is unfortunate.
But I cannot die here...
Because I must protect the Earth's love and peace!
Staff of Nike!
Holy Sword of Time, Eternal Dance!
Athena!
You truly are the goddess of war, Athena-oneesama.
You're as skilled as ever.
You, as well.
Where did you get such a terrifying weapon?
Wonderful, isn't it?
This is the Holy Sword of Time,
Eternal Dance.
Time and space, zero and infinity...
It is the ultimate holy sword that controls them all.
Soon, you will die by this blade.
Now, taste the power of the Eternal Dance.
Onee-sama, give me your life.
Let the two of us become one.
And we shall be together forever...
An eternal myth of love.
They're evenly matched.
No...
Pallas, prepare to die.
It won't be that easy.
Too bad...
Athena!
That ring is draining Athena's life...
At this rate, she'll be at a disadvantage!
On your way here, much of your life force was taken from you.
Have you forgotten?
What's wrong, Onee-sama?
That shield is in the way.
Athena!
No...
She's going to lose!
Wait, Harbinger!
But at this rate...
Have faith in Athena!
Seiya...
It's like they're competing to see who can stand it longer...
But Sagittarius isn't the only one who wants to help.
Titan-kun may look calm, but he is so very worried...
Athena!
You're pathetic, Onee-sama.
And you call yourself the goddess that protects the Earth?
It's your fault, Onee-sama.
It's because you love those stupid, filthy humans...
Because you won't love me.
That's why you're going to lose...
Because you forgot me.
No...
That is not true.
Not true?
What isn't true?
Pallas,
I love you...
You're lying.
I love you. Why would I lie to you?
I've never forgotten you, even for an instant!
Onee-sama...
However...
I love the humans you hate, as well.
Humans are weak, foolish, and fragile, just as you say.
But I know
that they have a ray of light in their hearts.
Humans are worthy of love.
No...
I don't understand!
I can't understand it...
I can't accept it!
Pallas!
Pallas, goddess of love...
Please...
I beg you to give even a small portion
of your love for me to the humans.
But... But, Onee-sama, you can't...
If you absolutely insist
on destroying humanity, then let us settle this here!
For the humans I must protect...
And for the Saints who believe in me and fight for me...
I cannot lose!
Wh-What Cosmo...
Then...
Time, carve through all the stars and planets.
Eternal Dance!
Onee-sama, you will die here!
Pallas...
I'm sorry.
Because of my love for you, I've avoided this so far.
I am...
a coward, and...
I was cruel!
Farewell, my beloved Pallas.
Someday, the humans may grow up
and no longer need the gods.
When that day comes, let us meet again within legend.
Athena-oneesama...
Forgive my rudeness.
But I, Blade of Theogenesis Titan,
shall defend Pallas-sama at the cost of my life.
Titan...
Athena, prepare to die.
Even the gods themselves cannot get past me!
Sagittarius...
Your fight is over.
So leave the rest to me.
Seiya...
Even if it's broken,
the Blade of Theogenesis can slice the very world.
Yet you stopped it with one hand.
You truly are the legendary Gold Saint.
But you cannot defeat me.
Back then,
you knew that the young Pallas-sama would be Athena's enemy.
But you could not kill her.
Had I been in your place,
I would have stabbed that dagger into her, even if she'd been a baby.
Someone without that resolve cannot defeat me.
Don't think I haven't changed.
I'm ready to do whatever it takes.
I see...
That is
the Gold Cloth of Sagittarius,
said to transform with the blood of gods!
I am the Gold Saint, Sagittarius Seiya.
I am the class-1 Pallasite, wielder of the great sword Theo—
No, I no longer need the blade given to me by a god!
I am the Goddess Pallas's guardian...
The true Pallasite...
Titan!
