Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas

In a small town in Italy, Tenma and his best friend Alone are living in peace at an orphanage. Alone is an aspiring painter and visits the cathedral where he hears about a painting that is so beautiful it is said to redeem souls. While painting in a meadow, Alone is approached by Pandora. She tells him that he is the purest human soul and therefore he will one day be the vessel of Hades, King of the Underworld. After a flood threatens his home village, Tenma awakens his cosmos in order to reroute the flood's path. Libra Dohko happened to be in the area and witnesses Tenma's skills. He offers to take Tenma to the Sanctuary in Greece so that he may train as a Saint. Before he departs for Greece, Tenma vows to become Saint and Alone vows to become a true painter.

The Gold Saints meet with Athena in her Sanctuary to prepare for the new Holy War against the Specters of the Underworld. Tenma begins his training.

Tenma and the other Saints head toward a village in Italy in search of the Specters of the Underworld. Tenma is worried about Alone.

Even after hearing about Tenma's death, and that her brother is the reincarnation of Hades, Sasha stays her tears, determined to do what she must.

One of the most powerful Specters, Griffon Minos, uses his attack to invade the impenetrable Sanctuary. Albafica faces off with the Specter Niobe.

Albafica is defeated in battle. Minos heads to the village outside the Sanctuary that Albafica wanted to protect and begins to lay waste to it.

Tenma, Yato and Yuzuriha are informed that the immortal Specters can be defeated with the fruit of the Goldenrain, the only living tree of the Underworld.

Tenma withstands Asmita's mighty assault, and suddenly the Goldenrain responds to Tenma's Cosmo and begins to yield the Sacred Fruit.

Taurus Gold Saint Aldebaran uses his great strength to defeat the Specters attempting to invade the Sanctuary, but the Specter Bennu Kagaho shows up.

Aldebaran withstands Kagaho's attack, the "Corona Blast", an attack so powerful it causes an earthquake. Alone descends on Sanctuary.

Tenma finally returns to the Sanctuary to challenge Alone to battle, when the Grand Pope shows up and generates the "Talisman Cage" to trap Hades.

The painting created to end all life, the "Lost Canvas", continues to cover the sky. Tenma is targeted by Pandora's assassins.

Tenma leaves, determined to fight alone. Now he knows the Specters won't rest until they see him dead, and he doesn't want more Saints to die for him.
