According to the legend, the Saints of Athena
appear each time the earth is in peril.
The Saints are fighting in the
second round of the Galaxian Wars .
Seiya, the Pegasus Saint, finds
himself in a difficult situation,
because his Meteor Fist is useless
against Shiryu, and his invincible shield.
By risking his life, Seiya succeeds in
destroying both Shiryu's fist and shield.
As their armor is useless,
the two Saints are ready to fight with their bare hands...
Miracle of Rebirth! Friendship of the Cosmos
I really have to be careful.
If I get hit just once without my armor,
it may be fatal...
In order to win this fight,
I have to block all his attacks...
Without his Cloth,
he won't be able to block my Rozan Rising Dragon!
He can't block my Pegasus Meteor without his shield.
What's Seiya doing? He isn't even moving.
Yes it's weird, Shiryu isn't moving either.
They're studying each other...
They're trying to find weak points.
A lapse in concentration, and the fight is over!
Victory is mine now.
I'm not going to lose this fight!
Even if he manages to block all my punches with his hands,
his body won't be able to hold out for long.
Pegasus Meteors!
Seiya,
None of your meteors can hit me !
I didn't even hit him once with my Pegasus Meteors...
How could he block all my punches without any damage?
Impossible!
Do you think I'm stupid enough
to try to block your attack without my armor on?
No living man could stop the
punches from a Saint with his bare hands.
I've simply seen through all of your attacks...
What're you saying!?
It's simple.
Some of them I had to stop... others, I just had to evade!
What!?
You were trying your best and all of your
punches were faster than sound, but you failed!
Some of them were mortal, the rest were not.....
Of the thousand punches you sent,
I blocked the weaker ones,
and that can be performed by any Saint!
The rest of your punches, I just evaded...
The most powerful hits from your
attack are useless against me, Pegasus Saint!
And now, you're too weak to even defend yourself!
Get ready for the Rising Dragon!
Seiya!
The Rising Dragon!
Seiya has lost!
See you in hell!
Shiryu!
What's this...? If he didn't hit me?!
I actually hit him!
It's one punch...
I was unable to see one punch!
Prepare yourself!
Pegasus Meteor!
Now, that time you never hit me!
Shiryu!
I can't stop him!
He's hit me twice and I haven't seen him!
With every new attack,
his blows are becoming more and more accurate!
It's incredible! Seiya's actually winning this fight.
I'll have to use
the Rising Dragon!
Shiryu,
I've discovered your weak point...
What!?
In order to launch your attack you must lower your guard,
and at that very instant I'm going to attack you!
He knows my weak point...
It's impossible!
Shiryu, your attack is flawless,
but your defense has a weak point.
A weak point?
Indeed.
That's impossible!
You taught me that the Rising Dragon was an unbeatable attack.
The reason for the weakness is the Dragon's right claw...!
Master, I don't understand?
Listen carefully!
Each time you're about to attack and your body is
full of energy, the great Dragon appears over your back...
and his right claw indicates
where your heart is.
Unintentionally, you lower your left fist when you're
concentrating, gathering the required
amount of energy for that particular attack.
This only takes you but a hundredth of a second,
but unfortunately,
during that lapse of time,
your body is unguarded!
That is your weak point!
Then, we don't need to worry!
You're the only man in the whole world who knows that I lower
my guard at that instant...
If other people knew about this
I would've been defeated already.
Don't trust in that.
If even one man besides me comes to
know this, then you're no longer invincible.
If he attacks you in that instant, you will die!
He's the only man who can defeat me!
He knows that if I lower my defense, I'm going to die!
I have to try to avoid it.
They're terrible rivals.
This will be the final attack!
You asked for it!
Rozan Rising Dragon Blow!
Gotcha!
Shiryu!
The fight is over, and the winner is... Pegasus!
Yeah! Seiya won! That's so cool!
Hey! Where's Makoto?
I don't know, he was here, and after I jumped, he suddenly dissapeared!
Seiya, you were wonderful!
I'm so proud of you!
What's happening?
He's going to fall!
Seiya, stand up!
Seiya!
He must be taken immediatly to the Foundation's Hospital,
I want to be informed about his condition as soon as possible,
Yes.
He has lost a lot of blood and we must take a few x-rays of his head.
Take him away!
Yessir!
Doctor, his heart has stopped!
The Dragon Saint has died?
Wait! Please wait!
Please help him! If you don't, he'll die!
Who are you miss?
Seiya, you're the only one who can save him. Please, answer me!
Once, the master told me that if
the heart of a Saint stops beating,
it's possible to make him live once more if he receives a hit
in the back as strong as the one that stopped it.
There's still time. He has to recieve that punch on his back
in the next four minutes. If not, the blood won't flow back to his brain
and death is going to be unavoidable!
I beg of you, Seiya, help me...
Please, calm down lady.
Please understand that he can't hear you.
and we must operate immediatly.
If not, he might not survive this fight either.
I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do!
I want to go back...
I'm going to help the Dragon Saint...
Are you crazy?! Do you want to die?!
Please, leave me alone doctor.
I never meant to kill him... and I'm going to try to help him.
Seiya...
How are they?! Have the both of them died?!
No. But they're not very far from it.
A normal man couldn't take it.
Only a Saint can revive him again.
Seiya,
hit Shiryu's back with your right fist,
it has to be a punch as strong as the last one...
You can't fail!
What's happening with his back?
The Dragon's disappearing!
And when that happens,
Shiryu will die!
I have to hurry!
Seiya, wait a second.
You're too close to him and your punch would be too strong.
Any stronger than the previous one, and his heart will explode.
Take three steps back!
Even though this fight is over, the crowd hasn't left their seats
This is the moment of truth...
The Pegasus Saint is trying to revive the Dragon Saint
despite his own grievous injuries!
Can he do it...?!
The time's almost up!
Seiya!
He's not going to make it...
He's lost a lot of blood...
Please, Seiya, stand up!
You must stand up!
Stand up Seiya!
STAND UP SEIYA!
Seiya!
Do you hear them?
Everybody is calling to you! They believe in you!
You can do it! Save him!
Dragon's almost gone!
No! I'm going to save you...
You're not going to die, Shiryu!
Seiya, you did it!
His heart is beating again!
The Dragon Saint lives!
Thank you! Thank you, Seiya!
Now it's your turn...
Go to the hospital to get checked out.
Yes, you've earned this rest,
but you have to return to this tournament at full strength
because next time, I'm going to be your opponent!
What's that..?
