| Seika wakes Seiya and the latter is able to transform his Pegasus Cloth into the powerful God Cloth. Now having power from the gods, Seiya easily kills Thanatos and goes with Ikki to save Saori. Hypnos tries to kill Shun, Shiryū and Hyōga, but they use their God Cloth to kill Hypnos. Seiya and Ikki are able to use their own God Cloths and attack Hades' coffin to save Saori who is trapped in a jar. Hades in his real life body responds to the attack and defeats all the Saints that are there. Seiya throws the Athena Cloth to Saori, causing her to awake donning the Athena Cloth. Saori starts fighting against Hades, but she is soon overpowered. As Hades throws his sword to Saori, Seiya intercepts the attack, sacrificing himself in the process. The four remaining Bronze Saints give their Cosmo to Saori, who then manages to kill Hades. After Hades is defeated, Elysium is destroyed, and Saori escapes with the four Bronze Saints, taking Seiya's body back to the Earth. | ||||
