Saint Seiya: NEXT DIMENSION – The Myth of Hades

In the year 1990 (originally depicted as 1986), within the heavenly realm of Elysion, the five Bronze Saints—Seiya, Hyōga, Shun, Shiryū, and Ikki—have devastated the forces of the Underworld and s쳮ded in resurrecting the divine God Cloths. They now engage the god Hades in a final, mortal duel. Amidst the ferocious battle, Hades experiences a startling revelation: Seiya's face is eerily familiar. Concluding that he has crossed paths with this foe before, the god's mind drifts back to his previous mortal vessel. The narrative then rewinds 247 years to the 18th century, where the Pegasus Saint of that age is a poor orphan whose dearest friend is a boy named Alone—the very human destined to become Hades' host. Meanwhile, the former Bronze Saints Dohko and Shion, renowned in the original saga as the sole survivors of that century's Holy War, have just been elevated to the rank of Gold Saints. As their paths converge with the young Pegasus Saint and Alone, the stage is set for a tragic legend that will echo across the ages. This edition also includes three additional bonus chapters.
