Chapter Summaries

Yota observed Mr. Mu use his Cosmo to send dormant Cloths and skeletal warriors against Shiryu, who had come to the Pamir Plateau seeking repairs for the Pegasus and Dragon Cloths. After Shiryu defeated the Wraith Warriors, Mr. Mu sent Kiki to greet him and invited Yota to watch the genuine Cloths being repaired.

• Yota reflected that he lacked the temperament and Cosmo needed to bring out a Saint Cloth’s full potential.
• Shiryu traveled to Mr. Mu’s residence carrying the ruined Pegasus and Dragon Cloths for repair.
• Mr. Mu activated dormant Cloths in the abyss and made their skeletal warriors attack Shiryu.
• Yota watched the attack and suspected Mr. Mu had arranged it as a test to draw out Shiryu’s potential.
• After Shiryu defeated the Wraith Warriors, Mr. Mu sent Kiki to welcome him and invited Yota to watch the repair.

Yota followed Mr. Mu to watch Shiryu repair the Pegasus and Dragon Saint Cloths, while speculating about his own evolving soul and Cosmo. After Yota pointed out that donating enough blood to repair both Cloths would leave Shiryu unable to fight, Shiryu reconsidered his plan.

• Yota concealed his Gold Saint Cloth and followed Mr. Mu outside, where Shiryu mistook Yota for an attendant.
• Yota wondered whether Self-Evolution was giving his soul the potential to ignite Cosmo and considered how quickly he might learn the higher Senses afterward.
• Mr. Mu explained that repairing two Saint Cloths would require about half a person's blood, and Shiryu offered to donate it despite the risk.
• Yota told Kiki that Shiryu could repair the Pegasus Saint Cloth first and return to repair his Dragon Saint Cloth later, since giving blood for both would leave him unable to fight.
• Mr. Mu looked embarrassed, and Shiryu realized he could prioritize his friend's Cloth and postpone repairing his own.

Yota repaired the Pegasus Saint Cloth and discovered that his Superman's Blood had an effect similar to divine blood, awakening and greatly strengthening the Cloth. Mr. Mu recognized the blood’s extraordinary power, leaving Yota’s ability to repair Saint Cloths far beyond ordinary methods.

• Shiryu gave blood for the Pegasus Saint Cloth’s repair until Mr. Mu sent him away to rest.
• Yota asked to repair the Pegasus Saint Cloth, and Mr. Mu agreed after seeing his rare metals.
• While repairing Pegasus, Yota secretly dripped his blood onto it, causing the Cloth to blaze with golden light and surge with Cosmo.
• The light faded after Yota fully repaired the Cloth, which had gained greater coverage and vitality.
• Mr. Mu identified Yota’s blood as having an effect similar to divine blood and judged the Pegasus Saint Cloth far stronger than an ordinary Silver Saint Cloth.

Yota responded to Mr. Mu’s concern that the strengthened Pegasus Saint Cloth could hinder Seiya’s growth by revealing its Divine Cloth form and burning through its power. The Cloth returned to its original Bronze form with a greatly enhanced foundation, leaving it able to foster its wearer’s growth over time.

• Mr. Mu warned Yota that the Pegasus Saint Cloth had become so powerful it could disrupt Sanctuary’s rules and impede Seiya’s growth.
• Yota rejected the importance of Sanctuary’s rules and recognized that Mr. Mu was worried about the Cloth’s effect on Seiya.
• Yota engulfed the Saint Cloth in black energy and transformed it into the Divine Cloth form of Pegasus.
• Mr. Mu recoiled from the Divine Cloth’s immense Cosmo as Yota let it unleash its power.
• The Pegasus Saint Cloth reverted to its Bronze form with a stronger foundation and more active Cosmo.

Yota showed Mr. Mu the improved Pegasus Bronze Saint Cloth, and Mr. Mu approved of Yota beginning to learn how to create Saint Cloths. After Shiryu left with the restored Cloth, Mr. Mu secretly followed to protect the Bronze Saints, and Yota went along with him.

• Yota handed the Pegasus Bronze Saint Cloth to Mr. Mu, who praised its improvements and said Yota could begin learning to make Saint Cloths.
• Yota considered studying all twelve Golden Saint Cloths to create one with perfect solar power, then decided to focus on practicing Saint Cloth creation.
• After resting, Shiryu saw the restored Pegasus Bronze Saint Cloth and hurried off to deliver it to Seiya.
• Mr. Mu secretly followed Shiryu to protect the Bronze Saints and help them grow stronger against the Pope's forces.
• Yota spotted Mr. Mu leaving the Pamir Plateau and joined him, leaving Kiki behind to guard Mr. Mu's residence and the still-sleeping Dragon Cloth.

Yota and Mr. Mu watched the Bronze Saints battle the Dark Saints on Death Queen Island, while Mr. Mu explained the Dark Cloths’ origins. After the Bronze Saints were overwhelmed by Ikki, they combined their Cosmos to give Seiya a final chance.

• Yota asked Mr. Mu where the Dark Saints and their Cloths came from, and Mr. Mu said a disgraced Aries Saint and his descendants had made the Dark Cloths.
• Yota watched the Bronze Saints fight as Hyoga swiftly defeated his opponent, Shun struggled, and Shiryu faced the twin Dark Dragon Saints without his Cloth.
• Shiryu defeated the Dark Dragon Saints and used bloodletting to save the nearly dead Seiya.
• The Bronze Saints confronted Ikki, who beat them senseless.
• The defeated Bronze Saints lent their Cosmos to Seiya for a final strike, and Mr. Mu explained how their spirits could briefly unite.

Seiya and Ikki fought to mutual destruction before Mu evacuated the injured Bronze Saints from Death Queen Island as its volcano erupted. Yota questioned the Phoenix Cloth’s extraordinary ability to revive itself, and Ikki turned to defend his brothers when the Silver Saints arrived to kill them.

• Seiya and Ikki fought until both were badly injured, and their battle appeared to trigger Death Queen Island’s volcanic eruption.
• Mu used his Cosmo to carry Seiya, Shiryu, and the other Bronze Saints away from the island, while Yota pulled Ikki over with his spatial ability.
• Yota asked Mu about the Phoenix Cloth’s unusual vitality, and Mu explained that it had not been made with Mu Continent’s technology and that he knew little about its origins.
• Ikki demanded to know who Yota and Mu were, then turned around when Yota warned him to look behind him.
• The Silver Saints of Lizard, Hound, and Cetus descended to attack the Bronze Saints, and Yota asked Mu whether they should intervene.

Mr. Mu used an illusion to send the Silver Saints away while Yota healed the Bronze Saints’ injuries and restored their strength. Yota warned them that Sanctuary had sent Silver Saints to hunt them, and Hyoga challenged Sanctuary’s strength.

• Mr. Mu shielded Ikki and cast an illusion that convinced the Silver Saints he had killed the Bronze Five, so they left; Marin withdrew without protest.
• Yota healed the Bronze Saints with Yang Release Chakra, restoring even Ikki’s frostbitten arm and chest wound and Shiryu’s lost blood.
• Shiryu woke and asked whether his Saint Cloth had been repaired, then recognized Mu and Yota as his companions recovered.
• Ikki thanked Yota for healing him and left, promising to repay the favor someday.
• Yota warned the Bronze Saints that Sanctuary had sent Silver Saints to hunt them because they had revealed their identities.
• Hyoga explained that Sanctuary’s rules depended on the Pope’s interpretation and said he wanted to test how strong its Saints were.

Yota recovered the Sagittarius Gold Saint Cloth, uncovered its history, and absorbed the Cosmos stored within it. After the Silver Saints returned, Yota removed the Cloth and let the Lizard Silver Saint attack him.

• Yota gathered the scattered Sagittarius Gold Saint Cloth pieces and restored their original appearance by absorbing them.
• Yota discovered the Cloth held the memories of past Sagittarius Saints, including Aiolos, and learned that Mr. Mu had redesigned it for Mitsumasa Kido.
• Yota absorbed the Cloth’s accumulated Cosmos, astonishing Seiya and the other Bronze Saints as his power rose beyond the limits of a Gold Saint.
• The five Silver Saints returned after sensing Yota’s Cosmos, and the Lizard Silver Saint recognized the real Sagittarius Gold Saint Cloth.
• Yota took off the Cloth and claimed he was only trying it on, so the Silver Saints attacked him; the Lizard Silver Saint struck Yota’s head with Marble Whirlwind.

Yota easily defeated the Silver Saints who attacked him, then took their Silver Saint Cloths to gain their accumulated Cosmos. He turned to the uninjured Eagle Marin and asked whether she would attack.

• Misty shattered his fist against Yota, and Babylon’s flames failed to harm him.
• The Hound Silver Saint’s attempt to read Yota’s mind backfired, leaving him unconscious.
• The Silver Saints attacked Yota together, but their blows shattered their own arms.
• Yota swallowed the Silver Saints in black mist, stripped them of their Cloths, and kept the Silver Saint Cloths.
• Yota asked Eagle Marin, who had not attacked, whether she would fight him.

Marin rescued Seiya and warned that Sanctuary was on the brink of change before leaving the Silver Saints behind. After Mr. Mu let the defeated Saints go, Yota refused the Sagittarius Gold Saint Cloth and left its fate to Seiya and the others.

• Marin told Seiya she had come to save him and warned that trouble was brewing in Sanctuary, then escaped as the Silver Saints accused her of betrayal.
• The Hound Silver Saint suggested Marin might be related to Seiya, and Yota pointed out that the ages did not fit Seiya’s sister Seika.
• Mr. Mu allowed the defeated Silver Saints to return to Sanctuary, and Hound asked Yota for his name before the group departed.
• Yota told the Bronze Saints to take the Sagittarius Gold Saint Cloth, but refused it for himself.

Yota learned why Mr. Mu had left Sanctuary and challenged him over his failure to train Saori Kido, the reincarnation of Athena. Mr. Mu agreed that preparing her could strengthen her for future wars, but worried that Silver Saints were already on their way to attack her.

• Shiryu followed Yota and Mr. Mu to ask for his Dragon Cloth to be repaired, and Mr. Mu agreed to take him along.
• Mr. Mu asked Yota to protect Saori Kido and explained that he had left Sanctuary after discovering that someone had killed his teacher and taken his place as Pope.
• Mr. Mu said Sagittarius Aiolos had entrusted his Gold Saint Cloth and an infant to Mitsumasa Kido, leading him to identify Saori as Athena.
• Yota questioned why Sanctuary had not trained Saori, and Mr. Mu admitted he had never considered that a god's reincarnation might need combat training.
• Mr. Mu remembered that several Silver Saints were preparing to attack Saori, who had not fully awakened Athena's soul, and worried that the Bronze Saints might be unable to protect her.

Yota arrived as Saori Kido’s Bronze Saints disbanded after learning she was Athena, leaving her alone and unsure how to challenge Sanctuary. He chose to protect her and asked how she planned to face the Pope’s Saints, but she had no real plan.

• Yota left Mr. Mu and flew to Saori Kido, where three of The Main Five declared they were leaving and disbanding.

• Saori Kido mistook Yota for an assassin sent by the Pope, but he told her he had been entrusted to protect her.
• Yota asked how Saori Kido intended to deal with the Saints under the Pope, and she admitted she had not thought it through.

Yota warned Saori Kido that going to Sanctuary without a plan or combat skills would likely get her killed, then offered to train her in Cosmo. He brought her into his Dark Space and fused the Sagittarius Gold Saint Cloth with her, awakening memories from its previous wearers.

• Saori detected an unfamiliar Cosmo and recognized a Silver Saint concealed among a huge flock of crows.

• Samian descended with a flock of crows and demanded that Saori Kido come with him to the Sanctuary.
• Saori unleashed Athena's Cosmo, drove off the crows, and pinned Samian to the ground while Yota watched.

• After Samian admitted he could not read or write, Saori stripped his Saint Cloth away with her Cosmo.
• Samian recognized Saori as Athena when the Cloth flew to her as if meeting its goddess.

• Saori Kido thanked Seiya for helping her, leaving Saori to face the possibility that the Pope had betrayed Athena.
