Chapter Summaries

Yota strengthened the Saints’ Cloths with Nth Metal and established brutal training at Sanctuary, while Saori Kido left to manage the Gudura Conglomerate. Sanctuary’s Saints began training to overcome their humiliation after Saori’s effortless advance through the 12 Palaces.

• Saori Kido observed that Yota’s Nth Metal repairs had made the Cloths more vital, durable, and capable of healing their wearers.
• Yota planned to train The Main Five in the Eighth Sense and established a Chakra healing barrier where Saints could recover from severe injuries.

• Yota considered seeking Ikki to learn how the Phoenix Cloth was made, but decided to wait until Aquaman or the Dark King appeared.
• Saori Kido returned to handle the Gudura Conglomerate’s affairs, while the Bronze Five Weaklings accompanied her and the other Saints trained at Sanctuary.
• The Saints used the healing barrier to recover from near-fatal combat and continue fighting, though only a few Bronze Saints could match the Gold Saints.

Yota returned to Marvel World, checked on Wanda, and oversaw Apokolips’s technological advances before going back to Sanctuary. With the Saints’ training stalled, he began brutally pushing the Gold Saints toward the Eighth Sense, and Shaka came close to reaching it whenever Yota revived him.

• Yota visited Marvel World, where Wanda had defeated Dark Elves after sensing a strange summons, and he learned that Apokolips could use Mother Boxes to reproduce its technology.

• Yota trained with the Saints and found that his Saint Cloth Cosmo had reached the peak of the Eighth Sense, letting him overwhelm even groups of Gold Saints.
• Yota repeatedly killed and revived the Gold Saints to push them toward the Eighth Sense, and Shaka repeatedly neared the breakthrough before losing it after his revival.

Saori Kido brought Thetis to Sanctuary after discovering that her business partner Julian was Poseidon’s human vessel. As Seiya reported a Norse declaration of war and melting Arctic ice, Yota suspected Poseidon’s awakening was behind the crisis.

• Saori Kido explained that she had captured Thetis after seeing her lead Julian into the sea, while two Sea Generals came to collect him.

• The God Saints launched their ultimate attacks together, and Yota countered with Zodiac Clamor, reinforced by Armament Haki, blasting them down with severe injuries.

Yota overwhelmed Hilda and the God Saints, then cut the Nibelungen Ring from Hilda’s hand with Capricorn’s Holy Sword technique. Hilda’s fate and whether Yota could stop the Arctic Glacier from melting were left unresolved.

• Hilda was injured by Zodiac Clamor, and Yota warned her to freeze the Arctic glaciers again or face the destruction of the Norse Pantheon.
• Siegfried rose to protect Hilda and attacked Yota, but Yota neutralized his Cosmo and knocked him down while secretly keeping him alive.

• Yota used Capricorn’s Holy Sword technique to slash at the ring on Hilda’s hand.
