The Bronze Saints must now face their most impossible foe yet: the gods of heaven. But an unexpected figure appears—Seiya’s long-lost sister, Seika—whose reencounter stirs something deep within Seiya’s comatose body. As the Angels attack Sanctuary and the hospital, the Saints must rise once more. But the greatest shock comes when a robed, amnesiac man named Iapetos (revealed to be the god Apollo, the Sun God and brother of Athena) appears, demanding that Athena surrender her divinity or watch humanity perish.
Saori screams, “Stop! I’ll give up my divinity!” She throws her staff away, becoming fully mortal. But Apollo declares it’s too late. He raises his hand to destroy Earth.
In the hospital, Seika enters Seiya’s room. In a touching parallel to the original manga, she whispers to her brother, “I finally found you.” Her tears fall on Seiya’s face, and his comatose body trembles. A golden glow emanates from him. Athena confronts the Angels, threatening to use her divine staff. But a blinding light descends—Apollo, dressed in white and gold robes, stepping out of the sun itself. He looks at Saori not as his sister, but as a traitor who gave her Cloth to a human. He gives her an ultimatum: “Renounce your status as a goddess and become a mortal, or I will destroy every human on Earth.” Los Caballeros del Zodiaco- Obertura del Cielo ...

Saori refuses. Apollo smiles coldly. With a snap of his fingers, he erases all memories of Athena from every human except the Saints. Then, he destroys the hospital with a casual gesture. Seiya is thrown into the rubble, still unconscious. Seiya, sensing Saori’s danger, awakens. Despite his weakened body, he summons the Sagittarius Gold Cloth from the stars. In a breathtaking sequence, the Cloth flies across continents, assembling on him mid-air. He confronts Apollo on a floating platform above a ruined Sanctuary. But the greatest shock comes when a robed,
Apollo is amused. “You wish to fight a god again, human?” Seiya answers with a thunderous (Meteor Fist). It does nothing. Apollo touches Seiya’s forehead, and the Gold Cloth shatters like glass. Seiya bleeds from every pore.
