[narrator] It is said that every several hundred years,
the goddess Athena is reincarnated.
And now a new Athena has been born into this world,
but, this time, under a dark prophecy that she will lead mankind to ruin.
The warriors who protected the goddess Athena were known as Knights.
Today, a new generation of Knights control the fate of the world.
They are called the Knights of the Zodiac.

[narrator] Previously on Saint Seiya...
Open your eyes! Magnuuuuus!
[pained roar]
AURORA EXECUTION!!!
Thank you, Master...
and farewell!
Magnus is gone.
This is his Cosmo's way of saying goodbye.
Don't look back, Shaun. We don't have time.
You're right.
[panting]
Long and Magnus are dead... We're the only ones left to fight...
Once we're past the House of Pisces, the Grand Master's Chambers will be close!
Though, that's only if the Gold Knight guarding it lets us through.
Seiya.
When we reach the next temple,
I want you to head straight for the Grand Master's Chambers.
Shaun? Why? What's going on?
We're out of time. So we have to split up.
You go ahead. I'll stay.
[Seiya] That's your plan?
But... hold on.
Is there something you're not telling me?
[noticed]
Watch out!
[gasp]
Those crimson roses!
[Shaun] Just as I thought...
the roses of the Gold Pisces Knight.
Seiya, leave Aphrodite to me.
I have to defeat him. It has to be this way.
[gasp]
There's something I never told all of you.
You know I don't like to hurt anyone.
Truth is, I don't want to fight at all.
But... If the story is true, then that man...
The Gold Pisces Knight Aphrodite...
[breath]
Wait, Shaun, tell me what's up!
You're not acting like yourself!
Master Daedalus is the one who raised me to be a knight.
Aphrodite murdered him.
He what?!
I heard it from the Gold Gemini Knight myself.
Well your master is dead!
[gasp]
What?!
[Saga] He went against the will of Sanctuary.
That's why Aphrodite, Gold Knight of Pisces, executed him.
[panting]
[Seiya] Nobody's here.
Ah!
[grunt]
[frustrated]
[Shaun] Pisces Aphrodite!
[Seiya] So he's the Gold Knight guarding the final House.
Now's my chance to find the truth behind Gemini's words.
[exhale]
[frustrated]
[Mylock] Dawn is coming soon... My lady...
Take it easy old man.
Quit bouncing around like you're some kinda robot vacuum cleaner.
I am not a vacuum cleaner!
You can be a vacuum cleaner. There's no shame in it.
Back in my day, loudmouth punks like you would get punished.
In your day, dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
Enough already! This is no time to be making jokes!
This is the BEST time to be making jokes.
Because if I don't lighten things up, we're both gonna worry ourselves to death.
[sigh]
[Mylock] There's only one flame left. Please hurry...
I wonder if Genet's doing okay.
Seiya, go on. You need to get to the Grand Master's Chambers!
- But... - Remember what I said!
I owe everything to my master.
If I'm going to avenge his spirit, I have to face Aphrodite alone.
Take this with you, Seiya.
It could be a clue to whoever was manipulating the Gold Gemini Armor.
If you think it'll help, I'll take it.
Shaun... I can't do this without you.
Once I know the truth, I'll be right behind you.
[Seiya] Okay! I'm going ahead then.
Who knows, I might finish the Grand Master by the time you catch up!
[Shaun] [chuckle] You better.
Coming through!
[smashing yell]
Sorry, not really a roses kind of guy.
I prefer chocolate. Catch ya later, Pisces!
Stay right there!
[chuckle]
Even if he makes it through this House,
the Pegasus boy will not reach the Grand Master's Chambers.
What?!
He will die before he gets very far. I've left him a funeral procession!
[Seiya] Roses?!
Roses and thorns are blocking the way to the Grand Master's Chambers.
Wait. Could it be a trap?
Hmph!
[panting]
A few smelly flowers aren't gonna stop me!
[jumping yell]
[panting]
What? What is happening?
Something's... strange. My body feels numb...
I... I can't stay awake...[breathing]
Impossible... Wh-What's happening?
[struggling]
No! I can't fail! Not now!
[Aphrodite] The roses on that path are no ordinary roses.
They are Demon Roses.
Grown in royal gardens since ancient times,
they repel invaders with their powerful toxin.
[gasp]
Simply breathing in the pollen or brushing against the thorns
causes the five senses to shut down...
then the victim will die.
[gasp]
I imagine Pegasus won't make it ten paces.
[chuckle]
- Seiya... - Slow down there.
Didn't you have some business with me?
[surprised] [grunt]
[impact]
[moan]
[growl]
[moan]
[Genet] Stop!
[rough breathing]
[exhale deeply]
[startled] Genet...
Shaun. This is my fight!
You're lucky.
If Shaun had attacked you with her true power, you'd already be dead!
I am Genet, Bronze Chameleon Knight!
Our master was Silver Cepheus Knight Daedalus.
I know you killed him, but you were tricked.
The Grand Master who ordered you to do it... was an imposter!
[shocked gasp]
[burst out laughing]
[exhale]
[surprised]
[Saga-GM(Evil)] Soon dawn will break and Athena's life will come to an end.
My victory is assured.
Hmm?
Look at you, pretending to be righteous.
But inside, you're filled with fear and defeat.
You have no hope.
Evil may prevail over the world now, but it will not last.
Ha!
Take a look at your savior, she is on the verge of death.
She is helpless.
It is time for me to dominate the world.
A miracle is about to happen. Can you not see it?
If you're talking about the legend of Pegasus...
I will soon crush it along with Athena with my own hands!
[sneer]
Sanctuary is as good as mine.
No one can stop what I have set in motion. Not even you...
[laughter]
[loud laughter]
It's not funny!
[frustrated] [gasp]
The only Grand Master is the one who occupies the Grand Master's Chambers.
You're being deceived!
Isn't it a Gold Knight's duty to fight for justice, instead of siding with evil?
[chuckling]
Someone like you speaking of justice?
Don't make me laugh.
[surprised]
[struggling]
You knew... you knew the Grand Master was a fake!
And what if I did?
[yell]
[impact]
[gasp]
- [moan] - [frustrated]
[sinister smirk]
So it is true, Aphrodite...
You murdered our Master.
And you don't care...
Master Daedalus...
It appears a foolish master raises foolish disciples.
[gasp] [impact]
[groan]
[Shaun] You take that back.
What?
[pained] Take it back! Master Daedalus was no fool!
Young ladies, how can you be this naive?
There's no other way to put.
[frustrated] [punching effort]
[frustrated]
[smirk] Hmm...
Allow me to teach you a truth of this world.
Strength is true elegance.
And the elegant should reign over and control all.
[frustrated]
In the past, Athena was strong. Noble. Graceful. But now?
The current Athena is weak and fragile.
She will inevitably fall before the coming threat.
Your master never understood this. That is why I call him a fool!
Indeed, I ended the life of the Silver Knight Cepheus Daedalus.
He was well-liked by many knights for his loyalty and strength.
But I saw him for what he truly was.
He lacked the proper respect for Sanctuary
and he ignored the Grand Master's summons for years.
Thus the Grand Master ordered him to be judged.
In the end, he was a fool. A pitiful and pathetic fool.
I see now...
I only became a Knight
because I wanted to create a world without conflict with my brother.
When Genet said the Grand Master was a fake,
I thought we might not have to fight.
I was relieved. Which makes me a failure as a Knight.
Part of me wondered if you had a reason for killing Master Daedalus.
Or if you felt even a little regret for what you did.
At least that's what I hoped.
But you stood there gloating over his death!
And so... as tough as it is to say, I can never forgive you.
You'll understand the pain you caused.
This is for Master Daedalus!
[smirk]
NEBULA CHAIN!
Yes!
[surprised]
[impact]
[moan]
[inhale]
I'm gonna wipe that nasty smirk right off your face!
Ha! Absurd.
[groan]
[struggling]
An army of Bronze Knights would not be enough to stop me.
[groan]
[battle roar]
Ah... I can't hit him!
[smirk]
[attacking yell]
- [gasp] - Genet!
[scream]
[impact]
[frustrated]
I told you.
It does not matter if there's one of you or an army.
The attacks of Bronze Knights are nothing more than a gentle breeze.
[frustrated]
[grunt]
You're going to answer for what you did to my master!
RAINBOW WHIPLASH!
Now you're done!
[pulling effort]
[sneer] Such an unsophisticated move.
Weak. With no hint of elegance whatsoever.
They never learn.
[surprised]
[scream]
N-No way... That's impossible. He's too strong.
Now I will give you the gift of an elegant death.
The same technique that took your master!
ROYAL DEMON ROSE!
[scream]
Genet!
[panting]
Exactly like your master. The poetry is almost beautiful.
But there's no beauty in the powerless.
[attacked cry]
[panting]
[pained]
H-He's too powerful...
Shaun... now's the time... to unleash your Cosmo...
What?
Remember... your true power.
Genet.
Shaun, don't hold back. I know your true power is...
[cough]
to walk the righteous path...
[pained]
Stop being afraid!
Even if you destroy me, it's okay...
Please unleash... Your Cosmo.
Ah...
Master Daedalus felt the same way...
[frustrated]
[sneer]
Genet... stay with me. it's not over yet!
Pathetic. If you want to sob together, you can do so in hell.
If your fool of a master could see you now...
Shut your mouth.
Seiya will reach the Grand Master and bring the truth to light.
That leaves me here to finish you off!
[Aphrodite chuckles]
You will not have revenge. You will die.
A simple, futile death.
And now just like Pegasus,
you will become a slave to my demon rose and follow him to your doom!
ROYAL DEMON ROSE!
[scream]
[impact]
As I said,
simply breathing Demon Rose's pollen will take away each of your senses.
You should thank me.
This way you won't suffer. You won't feel a thing as you die.
[hard breathing]
Just close your eyes and you can avoid the terror of death.
Why bother, Andromeda?
There's no elegance in struggle.
How can you not understand that?
Master Daedalus would never let us give up.
He trained us to fight for justice and save the ones we love.
To honour my master, I'll fight like a Knight to the bitter end!
It's over, Aphrodite.
ROLLING DEFENSE!
With this Circle Chain, none of your attacks will be able to hurt me.
You will never get it. Those chains are useless against me.
We'll see about that.
Fine then! Have some more.
- ROYAL DEMON ROSE! - [straining]
What?!
It can't be! How could she deflect my Demon Roses?!
This is for Master Daedalus!
NEBULA CHAIN!
[frustrated]
Huh?!
He's gone!
Vanished into a mist of flowers?!
[attacked yell]
[pained] [frustrated]
I can't see you... but that won't save you, Aphrodite.
No matter where you're hiding, my Triangle Chain will find you.
Even if you're light years away!
GO! THUNDER WAVE!
Incredible!
That the might of the Nebula Chain could be this powerful!
I looked down on her as a mere Bronze Knight.
But her Cosmo is...
No more holding back.
Time to unleash my true power.
Master Daedalus, I will avenge your death!
