Thanatos finally gets serious after being wounded by Manigoldo. But even in the worst position imaginable, Sage doesn't falter. "Don't use the word despair so loosely", he says, and Manigoldo remembers his old days with his master and the desperation he felt when he saw the destiny of humans after death, regaining hope and determination to fight. The two use their Sekishiki Meikai Ha attack in a desperate attempt, and end up succeeding in separating Thanatos's soul from his physical body, but that isn't enough to defeat the god of death...
Combat après combat, Seiya et ses amis n'ont qu'un mot d'ordre: vaincre pour Athéna, dans une ode à la vie...
Thanatos inizia a fare sul serio dopo che Manigoldo lo ferisce, ma anche nella peggiore situazione immaginabile, Seiji non esita.
Thanatos abre la hiperdimension donde el cuerpo del humano que utiliza es destruido junto con Manigoldo, pero el alma de Thanatos aun esta dispuesta a salir victoriosa e intenta poseer el cuerpo de Sage quien demuestra haber previsto esto y sella al Dios dentro de su cuerpo. El combate termina con dos grandes bajas en el ejército de Atenea. Manigoldo se encuentra con Shion despidiendose de este.
