Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas (2009–2011): Season 2, Episode 6 - Koko No Ken: The Sword of Isolation - full transcript

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

The distant memories have lost their colors

I open the old artbox silently

My childhood friend was always there,

with an unchanging smile.

Our dreams were drawn

on the heart's canvas

The colors have not yet faded.

Holding hands,

we experience the warmth from the past...

Why do people have love and hate

Were we born like this?

Happiness and sadness are intertwined,

forever shackling our youth.

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...

Tenma, welcome back!

We've finally returned to our hometown.

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.

Next time on Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas –

The Myth of Hades...

Prison of Dreams.
