When the world is full of evil,
the Saints of Athena
will revive in modern day Earth.
Pope Ares of the Sanctuary ordered the Silver Saints,
including Marin, to destroy Seiya and the other Bronze Saints...
and to steal the helmet of the Gold Cloth.
Seiya defeated some Silver Saints
who came to kill him.
While trying to save Seiya,
Marin was caught by Ahab and Asterion.
She was hung upside down on a crucifix in the rising tide.
Seiya found out that Marin is his sister,
so he tried his best to save her,
but Asterion stands in his way.
Fight! The rise of Athena!
Let me pass! Marin's dying!
It's a pity that the attack you just used...
...is harmless to me...
Because I can read your thoughts.
What?
Pegasus Meteors!
This is...
I said I can read your mind.
You'll never hit me.
Damn it!
Marin!
This battle isn't over yet.
Get out of the way!
I'll let you know how powerful the Silver Cloth is!
Get ready!
Which one is the real one?
Pegasus Meteors!
And now the finishing blow...
Million Ghosts Attack!
Seiya!
Your Pegasus Meteors attack is only Mach One.
While mine is at least twice as fast!
There's no way out for you!
Marin... Sister...
Aren't you happy?
Marin's already dead.
You cared about each other so much too...
...so you can go to hell together!
What...? What has stopped my fist?
That's impossible!
Marin, how could you?...
That kid untied my chain.
Dammit.
You know, I wasn't that thirsty...
Besides, sea water isn't good for you!
You'll die here sooner or later.
Don't forget I can read all of your thoughts.
What?...
Why can't I read her thoughts?
Huh? It's just as if her mind was empty.
Fine, I'll beat you with the Million Ghosts Attack then!
Asterion, your tricks don't work with me!
Empty Fist!
Asterion, how could you serve Pope Ares?
Marin...
Pope Ares' mind control abilities are too great...
It's impossible to go against his will.
Pope Ares can only be beaten...
by a free spirit.
Even if his purpose is protected by the Sanctuary,
one day the Saints of the Athena will face his power,
and will defeat him.
Greece and the entire world will be freed
from his dark powers.
Ma... Marin... help me...
Seiya
Talk to me, Seiya.
Don't worry, he's alive
Kiki, what happened?
Many things...
Seiya...
Hyoga, where is my sister?
What are you talking about?
Marin is my sister...
Seiya, look!
S E I Y A G U A R D A T H E N A
What's the meaning of it?
Marin must have written it...
She asked us to protect Athena.
Does this mean that we can't stop fighting?
She left this message,
but why didn't she wait until I woke up?
She probably didn't want to bother you
Marin
Marin!
Really? They sent Silver Saints.
It seems that Sanctuary isn't as friendly as it was before.
The war will begin soon.
It's a battle based on lives.
Seiya, the story of Marin...
In fact, as you know,
I've been looking for my sister.
Seiya, is Marin... Your sister?
Yes, according to what Asterion and Ahab said...
She's my sister.
Seiya, is there any evidence?
No, but Marin and I
were the only two Japanese in Sanctuary.
Then...
Marin, this is Seiya.
I trust you to look after him.
He's 7 years old, and he's Japanese, just like you.
Understand?
You're only a child, how come you came to Greece?
For the Cloth.
Right, I must take the Cloth back to Japan.
But why do you do this?
I... I can't tell you.
Can you smash this stone with your bare hands?
Okay I'll try...
It hurts!
If you want to get the Cloth,
you'd have to at least have the ability to break the Cloth.
That's the basic requirement to become a Saint.
A real Saint develops superpowers,
by concentrating all their energy
with the help of their cosmos.
Crying is useless.
Nobody will come to save you,
until you do it 1000 times.
Come on, there's only 362 left.
OK, 361
Marin's guidance wasn't just strict...
But if she really is your sister,
why did she keep this a secret for so long?
Maybe she had some difficulty in talking about it...
No, It's possible that Marin
doesn't know that she's Seiya's sister.
How could it be possible?
Is Marin... actually my sister?
Seiya, Misty wasn't the last Silver Saint.
Be alert!
I can't go back to the Sanctuary.
On the sand, where I found Seiya,
Marin left a message,
which read [Seiya, protect Athena]
Protect Athena?
Saints of the past...
regarded Athena as a war Goddess.
But now... is she still alive?
Since Marin told us to protect her,
she must be living, right?
Athena is alive.
What?
Tatsumi, don't say that without evidence.
It's true, Master Kido told us so.
after he sent Seiya and the rest of you abroad.
Tatusumi, in case that something should happened to me,
Please take a message to Saori for me.
But only when that day comes,
when Seiya and the other Saints get together in front of Saori,
and fight alongside each other.
Until the end of that day,
Keep these words in your heart.
...and protect Saori.
God bless her.
Yes.
These events happened more than 10 years ago.
Everything began when I met a Saint
in the ruins of Athena's Amphitheater
when I traveled to Greece.
>From that moment on,
I was informed of the existence of Saints.
That Saint named Aioros,
he had been severely wounded in a battle,
and was about to die.
He carried a case
containing the Gold Cloth,
and in his arms he held a little girl.
The Sanctuary is full of evil...
and there was someone who wanted to kill this baby.
Sanctuary?
I tried my best to save her,
but other Saints had come over and had sworn allegiance to Pope Ares.
and I could not escape either.
Please... protect the baby...
Until she grows up.
The world is full of evil.
The child is the reincarnation of Athena.
She's sent by God.
Youngsters who really have boldness and strength
will gather in front of Athena.
A group of children...
will get rid of evil and keep peace in the world...
Please give the Gold Cloth
to the one youngster
who proves to be a real Saint.
Come on, sit up.
What's wrong? Hang on!
I, Konzhi Kido will protect the Cloth...
...and the child...
Then... I am not the granddaughter of Konzhi Kido.
But grandpa always loved me deeply...
Grandpa always looked at you Miss as a gift given by God.
Is that true?
If that infant...
...was the reincarnation of Athena,
who was born several hundred years ago...
Miss Saori...
is Athena.
What's this?
My cosmos feels something.
A new...cosmos...
There's a strong cosmos
coming out of her body.
It's a Saint's cosmos...
That's...?
It's Athena.
Is Miss Kido really Athena?
Athena and the Saints who protect her
have become real once again!
You're Saints chosen by God.
Your battle has just started.
And the enemies are in the Sanctuary.
Athena?
Bronze Saints...
I was just looking for you.
Who are you?
I'm Babel.
I'm a Silver Saint.
...are they still coming?
I'll avenge Asterion and Ahab.
I'll send you five to hell.
What?
I was sent by Pope Ares to kill you.
Really? So if you can't kill us all,
you can't go back to the Temple, can you?
No kidding.
You're only Bronze Saints.
You're only children compared to Silver Saints.
Do you really think so?
You're really ugly, buddy.
You won't be that bold after you feel my attack!
I'll make you get down on your knees and beg me.
Give it your best try.
Here you are
My flame
is more powerful than the any of you Saints together.
Seiya,
This isn't an illusion.
My body is really burning!
Hyoga... Damn, I'll use my Pegasus Meteors.
Seiya, don't do that.
You're too weak!
Damn, if only I had my Cloth!
Seiya!
Pegasus Meteors!
I'll finish you off now.
Flame Whirl!
You have know idea how strong I can become.
Let's end it here.
I'll launch my final attack.
Go to hell by the fires of Red Lotus!
That's...
