Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas

Pandora seals away Alone in his studio so that he can focus on the creation of the "Lost Canvas" and completely awakens as Hades.

The crusades take place every 200 or so years between the goddess Athena and Hades, the lord of the underworld.

Upon entering the forest of death, Yuzuriha is separated from the others. She is confronted by her brother, who she thought died years ago. His voice sends her back to the past.

Golden Saints gather around the goddess Athena and her sanctuary in preparation for the new crusade against the underworld warriors.

Tenma and the other saintly warriors head towards an Italian town where the warriors of the underworld are gathered. Tenma realizes it is his hometown and worries about Alone's fate.

Tenma, Yato and Yuzuriha are surrounded by Veronica's zombies, only to be saved by the Cancer Saint Manigoldo. Manigoldo had come to protect Tenma on the pope's orders.

Manigoldo finds the location of the Twin Gods but is helpless before the might of Thanatos, the god of death. Pope Seiji arrives to help him.

Though she learns of the death of Tenma and of her brother Alone's reincarnation as Hades, Sasha pushes away her sadness and steadfastly fulfills her role as Athena.

One of the three strongest Specters, Minos uses invisible puppet strings to invade the supposedly impenetrable sanctuary, killing Saints off one after the other.

Thanatos finally gets serious after being wounded by Manigoldo. But even in the worst position imaginable, Seiji doesn't falter.

Hypnos gathers the four gods who control dreams. One of them, the Vision Icelus appears in Sagittarius when avoiding Capricorn El Cid's attacks and steals the soul of the unconscious Sisyphus.

Albafica fights against Minos with all his might, releasing the "crimson zone." However, even that is deflected by the Specter's armor, causing Albafica to finally fall.

Nearing Hades' castle, Tenma suddenly finds himself standing before his undamaged village. He can't shake the feeling that something is wrong as Alone and Sasha tell him everything has been a dream.

Tenma and the others hear that the immortal Specters can be destroyed using berries from the goldenrain tree that grows in the underworld, so they quickly search for it.

After the goldenrain tree reacts to Tenma's rising cosmos and bears fruits, Asmita disappears. Tenma and the others gather the berries and flee from the underworld.

With one of the four gods down, El Cid finds himself confronted by Icelus. Icelus continues to overpower El Cid with his dimensional abilities, but El Cid is determined to rescue Sisyphus.

The Taurus Golden Saint Aldebaran uses his amazing strength to defeat the Specters as they attempt to close in on the sanctuary.

Tenma and El Cid are helpless before the combined might of Oneiros and the other three gods, but Athena appears in the dream world to save Sisyphus.

Aldebaran bears Kagaho's powerful attack and defeats him with the "Titan's Nova," a move so powerful it breaks the earth.

Athena enters Sisyphus's dream. She finds that Sisyphus is torn by guilt over taking her away from Alone and Tenma. He thinks that he ruined her life and caused the Holy War.

Tenma finally returns to the sanctuary and challenges Alone to a fight, only to have the tables turned.

With the four gods' barrier destroyed, Hypnos' "barrier of sleep" is lifted, and the forces of the Saints march on Hades' castle!

The "Lost Canvas," a painting covering the whole sky, is said to destroy everyone on the earth when completed. Tenma hears that the once kind Alone is now trying to destroy all of humanity as Hades.

Hakurei goes into Hades' castle alone, protected by a blade from the last Athena. He tears apart the opposing Specters until he reaches the center of the barrier that protects Hades' castle.
