Seinto Seiya: The Lost Canvas - Meiou Shinwa (2009) s02e06 Episode Script
Lonely Blade
1 I just wanna know what my life is for Winning every match I have to play I haven't felt like this before The truth is gonna be revealed today I really don't have anyone to slay No need to live this way Love will fill the world and it will reign supreme forever! Saint Seiya, we're calling out for you Saint Seiya, help us to come through The nebulae of confusion The clusters of trepidation The whirlpools of indecision Will lead us to the realm of Athena Episode 19 Lonely Blade Lord Hypnos, I, Dream God Oneiros, have arrived.
There's someone I'd like you to take care of.
Yes? Someone has gotten too close to us.
That should tell you all you need, yes? Yes.
Even if they are practically dead already, considering their strength and loyalty to Athena, we must consider them a serious threat.
I'd like to be very cautious in this matter, to prevent them from becoming a problem later.
Seal them in the prison you guard, so that they never awaken again.
Then we shall take him to our Dream World.
Go, my four gods.
El Cid.
So you're here, too? I am always beside Sisyphos.
Then he hasn't awakened yet? It's said that the wounds Hades inflicts strike the soul directly.
Perhaps that's preventing him from awakening.
Even if his wounds are from Hades, Sisyphos will surely awaken and join us in battle.
Yes.
All that remains is to defeat Hypnos.
But to defeat Hypnos and reach Hades, we need Sisyphos's power.
I smell a wound inflicted by Hades.
Who are you? I am Icelus, one of the four gods who serve Hypnos! Four gods? So this is Sisyphos? His soul is mine! No, you don't! What? See you! Wait! Dohko! Shion! You felt it, too? Yes.
Something in the House of Sagittarius.
Even if only his divinity let him do it To appear so boldly, in the middle of the Sanctuary Lady Athena, please assign me to rescue Sisyphos.
El Cid Sisyphos and I were tasked with investigating Hypnos.
In the process, Sisyphos learned of the four gods who serve Hypnos.
The gods who are said to be both his brothers and his children.
That Icelus is one of them.
Sisyphos learned valuable information about the Dream World they rule.
Most likely, that's why he concerns Hypnos.
It's why he sent his four gods to do this Their goal can only be to lock his soul in the Dream World.
If the Underworld exists to punish mortals, then the Dream World is its prison.
None may enter, and none may leave.
Truly, a land ruled by gods Those imprisoned within sleep forever, unable to reincarnate.
We cannot lose Sisyphos.
To protect the world from Hades, we need him! But as you said, the Dream World is an invincible fortress.
None but the four gods may enter.
If he is held within, it will be a difficult struggle.
I shall defeat all four gods and rescue him.
I'm counting on you.
This is an important mission.
The Holy War's outcome depends on it.
Even if I did face a god, it's no excuse.
I failed.
My blade is not Excalibur yet.
Sir El Cid! Please allow us to accompany you on your mission! Please! All Saints in the Sanctuary are ordered to stand ready.
You will stay here and protect Lady Athena.
You're going alone again? You always do! Whenever you think there's danger, you leave us behind.
Must you put so much pressure upon yourself? To hone yourself so much? We want to help you, too! Sir El Cid! Take care of things.
Why does he always strive to be so alone? Lady Athena! We came because we sensed something awful here.
Shion Dohko.
Sisyphos's soul? My master, Hakurei, has spoken of the four gods who obey Hypnos.
But I never anticipated such boldness.
They mock us! I have entrusted El Cid with the task of Sisyphos's rescue.
Dohko, I can feel his resolve.
He was always at Sisyphos's side, serving as his right hand.
He never spoke of it, but he looked up to Sisyphos as a brother.
Those two are equally loyal to Athena, but have completely different personalities.
Indeed.
If El Cid's heart was like a sharp blade, Sisyphos's heart never lost its gentleness.
We're on standby again? We, too, understand Sir El Cid's strong emotions for Sir Sisyphos! But Come to think of it, we once spoke to Sisyphos.
I return to the Sanctuary for a change, and you do nothing but train? Sir Sisyphos, please speak to Sir El Cid.
Ask him to take us with him if he has the chance.
We're Saints, also! We'll help him, too! Sir El Cid would listen to you! Please, Sir Sisyphos! You plan to use me as a messenger, huh? N-No, that's not what we meant at all It's not that El Cid doesn't trust you.
It's the opposite.
He has an unwavering certainty that constantly honing himself is the way to show his loyalty to Athena.
No matter what anyone tells him, he continues to live as a sword.
So he wishes not to involve you, who are still young and inexperienced, in the harsh trials he has set for himself.
But then we can't truly be his subordinates! Even if I lost my life while fighting alongside Sir El Cid, it would be splendid.
For me, as well.
Death is not something to call "splendid"! That is what El Cid worries about.
But you know I also sometimes wonder if a single sword alone, no matter what its strength, can cut open the way to the future.
You're amazing, Sir El Cid! Back there, the Cosmo surrounding Sir El Cid was like a blade, difficult to approach.
Of course it was.
He's decided to rescue Sir Sisyphos alone.
I felt a terrible resolve.
Then isn't this the hour when we should stand beside him? As his men! It's faint, but I smell it.
The Cosmo of a beast Some say my heart is too sharp.
If it is, then yours, Sisyphos, is at the other extreme.
He's just defending He's being overwhelmed by his opponent's power and spirit.
No.
Pakia has already seen through his opponent's strikes.
This time, I won't miss! I, too, have endured harsh training to become a Saint.
I'll win this battle and get myself a Cloth! W-Wow! With just one strike! You did it! Now you're a Saint, too! Congratulations, Pakia! Good work, man! What? Pakia has vanished from the Sanctuary? Yes.
We can't find him anywhere.
He can't have run away No way! Tomorrow is the day he gets his Cloth.
He's been waiting so long for that! So why? I was certain that he would someday become Sir El Cid's right hand! He couldn't have run off! Pakia.
Why do you run? Sir El Cid I'm scared I'm scared to wear the Cloth.
Pakia! The Holy War is almost upon us.
When the war begins, the Saints must, naturally, be prepared to die.
But I can't Everyone feels fear.
But that is why you train and overcome it.
I believed you were capable of that.
I'm not strong like you.
I saw you, and even as I trained, I knew I couldn't put that pressure on myself.
And even if I did become a Saint, if I were by your side, I would simply slow you down.
Those are your only last words? Running from the Sanctuary is punishable by death.
You know that, right? What are you doing, El Cid? Your loyalty to Athena hasn't changed, has it? Then even if you don't become a Saint, there are still ways for you to live and make the world peaceful.
You shouldn't be ashamed of your fear.
You should recognize it, and find the way that you're able to fight.
I believe that warring, protecting, and helping the world to carry on are all equally noble ways of fighting.
But that soft heart of yours was also easily hurt.
That wound was proof of regret.
You still grieve over and blame yourself for taking the young Athena from Tenma and his friends, and bringing her to the Sanctuary.
In a way, that's just like you.
But that was your downfall.
Vision Icelus, I will find you.
One of the Sanctuary rats is wandering around! What a fool, coming this close to Hades's castle alone! I'll tear him apart and feed him to the dead.
I, Capricorn El Cid, shall fight you.
How nice! We have our own Gold Saint to play with! I've heard of you A Saint who trains himself to the highest possible degree.
A Saint whose sharpness rivals that of the Excalibur! But it won't beat me, the Heavenly Fleeing Star, Genbu Gregor.
My Surplice is as strong as diamond.
Just try and cut it! Take this! I broke your blade in half.
What? Th-This is the holy blade Excalibur? A blade like this cannot be called Excalibur.
My blade is not Excalibur yet.
It must be sharper As sharp as my heart can make it.
So, you came after me? What do you think you're doing? What else? I'm here to take Sisyphos back.
Too bad.
It's too late for that.
His soul is locked away, somewhere far beyond your reach.
Deep in the Dream World, in Morphia Then I'll bust my way in.
What? You don't know what kind of place the Dream World is? You humans can't just You'll show me the way.
How dare you You were followed.
You failed, Icelus.
What a nice-looking man.
Maybe I'll take him.
Stop your foolishness, Phantasos.
Don't be so stubborn.
It's a waste to just kill him.
The four gods who control dreams Dream God Oneiros.
Vision Icelus.
Portrayer Phantasos.
Modeler Morpheus.
Which means the path to the Dream World is near.
So you will fight the gods of dreams, Saint? Of course.
That's why I've come.
He bugs me.
I'll kill him.
Out of the way, Phantasos! What? You could let me have a little more fun I let you live the first time, you fool.
Die here! I cannot lose my life until I have fulfilled my mission and rescued Sisyphos! How? It happened again.
You may be a Gold Saint, but you're just a man.
Your blade couldn't possibly work on Vision Icelus, one of the four gods.
You still don't get the difference between a god and a mere mortal? Icelus is playing, too! Icelus, we still have our own mission.
Finish him quickly.
I'm starting to smell death on you.
It may be time to say goodbye.
The strike came back from the side? How? How did I lose my right arm? What a charming, manly, wonderful arm The distant memories have lost their colors nakushita iro wa tooi hi no kioku I open the old artbox silently furui e no gu no hako sotto akereba My childhood friend was always there, osanai tomo ga itsumo ita yo ne kawaru koto nai ano egao with an unchanging smile.

Is this a dream? No, everything until now has been the dream.
All the pain and sadness Our days together are eternal and unchanging.
It feels so much like it used to So much so that something just feels wrong.
