Riassunto classico del narratore:
"Underworld, the World of the Dead, dominated by the God of the Underworld, Hades. The young warriors that
have come to this land without light. Their battles have become even more intense."

[Divine Punishment! Greatest Eclypse]

"Has become like the God of the Underworld, Hades' Shun, Saint of Andromeda. Shiryu Saint of Dragon and Hyoga Saint of Cygnus are pressing forward from the Sixth level of Hell. Seiya Saint of Pegasus is imprisoned in the 8th level of Hell. And in the 5th level of Hell..."

Ikki, sopravvissuto al Garuda Flap, ha appena atterrato Aiacos. Credendo di averlo sconfitto, si rivolge agli altri due Comandanti:
"It's useless to attack Saints with similar techniques. What now?"
"You think you can defeat Aiacos like that?" risponde Minos tranquillamente.
Aiacos si rialza all'improvviso e colpisce Ikki di sorpresa, atterrandolo.
"So things are like that, I never expected that the Bronze Knights would have such a strong character like you." commenta Aiacos seccato.
"You..."
"Since similar techniques are useless on the Saints, then I shall use this to finish you off! Watch this... Galactic Illusion!"
Ikki viene facilmente atterrato.
"Kanon! I will finish you off now!" esclama Aiacos, pensando di aver già concluso la battaglia.
"Don't tell me you thought you can defeat the Saint of Phoenix like that." risponde Kanon tranquillo.
"What?"
"How can this be?" si chiedono Rhadamantis e Minos, stupiti.
"I, Kanon have battled with him previously too. No matter how many times he gets knock down, he will stand up again. Just like the Phoenix, he revives and gets stronger each time!"
Infatti Ikki, pur essendo ferito, inizia ad espandere il cosmo.

Intanto, alla Giudecca, Shun-Hades apre gli occhi.
"Lord Hades, have you awaken?" chiede Pandora in apprensione.
"I can feel it... Pandora! What is with this small universe that has such attacking prowess?"
"You do not need to worry about this small matter, Master. It's just the Saint of Phoenix, a little rat that has found its way in."
"Why does this firey little universe seems so familiar? Bring the Saint of Phoenix to me!" ordina Shun-Hades.
Ora che Hades ha preso possesso del corpo di Shun, ha perso i suoi ricordi terreni, ma rimane comunque una traccia. Forse l'anima di Shun è ancora presente, da qualche parte...

"He revives and gets stronger each time? Then, I shall make it such that you will never revive again!"
Aiacos cerca di dare il colpo di grazia a Ikki mentre è ancora a terra, ma questi si rialza con incredibile facilità e lo schiva, portandosi alle sue spalle.
"What? How can this be? This man's speed is faster than mine?"
"Aiacos, I've been observing your speed. To defeat you, all I need to do is to be faster than you."
"What?!"
Aiacos riprova ad attaccare Ikki, ma questi schiva di nuovo e, senza farsi accorgere, lo colpisce col Phoenix Houou Genma Ken. Apparentemente, Aiacos semnra illeso.
"What? Was that supposed to be an attack that is greater than mine? It can't even be compared to a mosquitoe's bite! Now you will surely die! Watch this... Galatic Illusion!" esclama Aiacos sicuro di sè.
Tuttavia, Ikki resta immobile senza subire gli effetti del colpo.
"How many times must I remind you, the same technique is useless on me." spiega Ikki.
"How can this be?"
"Now, l'll destoy you with your own attack!"
Ikki respinge il colpo di Aiacos, riducendolo in tanti pezzetti! Game over. Dopo qualche secondo, però, Aiacos è ancora vivo ma decisamente traumatizzato: è stata solo un'illusione.
"What is this?"
"Aiacos, I've been observing your speed." esclama Rhadamantis.
"Aiacos, what's happening here?" chiede Minos preoccupato.
"Here it comes! Phoenix lllusion Demon Fist." spiega Kanon.
"How does it feel to see Hell in Hell?" chiede Ikki ad Aiacos, che è accasciato a terra.
"You..." esclama Aiacos, rialzandosi furioso.
"Stop it, your strength is not sufficient to defeat me."
"How can this be... I am the strongest of the 108 Underworld Specters, one of the 3 Judges of Hades! How can I, Aiacos, be defeated by a Bronze Saint?!"
"We have no more hope... Not just Athena, but even Shun's situation is worrying now. I don't have any time to waste here. Watch this, an attack that can can even shake the planets... Phoenix, spread your wings! Houyoku Tensho!!"
Aiacos viene colpito in pieno e muore all'istante, con l'armatura in frantumi.
"Aiacos!!" esclamano i due Comandanti.
"Unbelievable. Even Aiacos..." commenta Rhadamantis, avvicinandosi al cadavere.
"This battle had already been decided from the time Aiacos was hit by the Phoenix lllusion Demon Fist. What a fearsome attack! Not just the mind but even the body will be greatly damaged." commenta Kanon.

"Next, you 2 can attack at once." dichiara Ikki come se nulla fosse.
"What?"
Ad un tratto, uno strano cosmo viola avvolge Ikki.
"That's..." esclama Rhadamantis.
"What is this?" chiede Ikki preoccupato, prima di essere risucchiato.
"He disappeared. Saint of Phoenix disappered." commenta Rhadamantis. Sono tutti stupiti.
"How can this be? Where did Ikki go?" si domanda Kanon.
Pandora manovra il suo tridente e fa materializzare Ikki all'interno della Giudecca.
"Lord Hades, I've just transported him here from the 5th level of Hell. This is the man that released an attack like a small universe." comunica Pandora.
"Where is this? What? Shun! Shun!" esclama Ikki spaventato, dopo aver visto suo fratello seduto sul trono di Hades.
"Stop moving!" Pandora lo colpisce con una scarica del suo tridente.
"Shun..." esclama Ikki allungando la mano.
"Stop your yapping, this man is no longer your brother. He is now God of the Underworld, Hades."
"What? How do you expect me to believe that?"
"Ikki have you forgotten? In fact, from that time, your brother has already become one with Lord Hades."
"What did you say!"
"It'ss no wonder you can't recall. At that time, I erased your memory. At most, you can only recall meeting me, Pandora. Well, then let me revive your memory from that time."

C'è di nuovo il flash back in cui Ikki bambino incontra Pandora bambina.
"Whatever you say is useless! Give that kid back to me!" ordina Pandora.
Dal corpo di Shun si sprigionano delle scariche elettriche. Nonostante ciò, Ikki si sforza di tenerlo ancora in braccio.
"What is this? It's as if there are electric currents flowing through Shun's body."
"So there's no way you can hold him now right? Let go. Let go now! Or your hands will be broken!"
"Who... Who would be willing to let go?! Forget the hands, even if it means my whole body will be broken, I will still not let you have Shun!"
"Then I shall fulfill your wish!"
Le scariche elettriche continuano, finchè Ikki non cade a terra svenuto. Pandora si avvicina, ma si accorge che Ikki sta ancora abbracciando il neonato.
"This guy... He' still not willing to give up! What incredible determination he has."
Pandora poi si china sul neonato, che sta sorridendo:
"Let us leave. Before you take full form, I, Pandora will care for you like as if you were my lilltle brother."
Pandora sta per accarezzare Shun, ma si blocca quando questo espande il suo cosmo.
"What? This small cosmo?! Though I can't feel any enmity but I can't even touch this child at all. Why?"
"I will not let you have him, even if you kill me, I will not let you have Shun's body..." esclama Ikki ancora sotto shock e stringendo Shun a sè.
"This man is like intense fire, even in this unconcious state, he still hangs on to his brother till death. If  I seperate them forcefully, I might hurt Hades' body. I've got no choice, there are still ten years before Athena's seal is broken and the 108 Specters are revived. Ikki, till then, I will leave this child in your care. But as long as this Necklace is with him, he can never escape from me. No matter where he runs to, his body will sill be found by Lord Hades' soul!" Pandora fa materializzare il ciondolo al collo di Shun e ride soddisfatta.

C'è un'inquadratura sul ciondolo e si torna al presente, con Shun-Hades seduto apatico sul trono.
"Saint of the Phoenix, can you recall now?" chiede Pandora.
"I recall the memory that you made disappear. The necklace I believed to be a gift from our dead parents is the lock that binds Shun with Hades?"
"Exactly. It's written on the necklace, YOURS EVER. Which means your brother's body will forever belong to Lord Hades. And Lord Hades' soul has make your brother's body known to the specters of the underworld. It was just while awaiting for the body and soul to become one."
"Shun!"
"I told you not to move!" esclama Pandora colpendo Ikki con delle scariche elettriche. ""But for me, Pandora, this is an unexpected turn of events as well. I didn't expect Lord Hades' body will come as a Saint to the Underworld. No, could it be that Lord Hades had directed this?"
"How can this be? Shun was not directed by Hades... He came here to defeat Hades! Shun came to this world
as a Saint and not for Hades!" risponde Ikki rialzandosi minaccioso.
"Why do you still say such things? What?"
Pandora, spaventata, si difende dietro al tridente ma non riesce a prevenire le mosse di Ikki.
"Watch this Hades!" inaspettatamente, Ikki non colpisce Pandora ma direttamente Hades, strappandogli il ciondolo.
"Lord Hades!"
"Hades, this way, the lock that binds you to Shun is broken. Hades, get out of Shun's body now! Or do you want me to drag you out?"
"You senseless incompetent fool! Don't get any closer to Lord Hades! Back off!"
Questa volta, Ikki riesce a togliere il tridente di mano a Pandora e a spingerla a terra.
"I am unlike Seiya and the rest, I am not a gentleman. Even if it's a woman, if she's doing evil, I will defeat her. Get out of my way if you understand!"

Ikki si avvicina a Shun-Hades, che era rimasto lì fermo tranquillo, e gli tira uno schiaffo.
"What?" esclama Pandora.
"Shun, wake up!"
Shun-Hades non sembra reagire, anzi è lì con gli occhi chiusi, quindi Ikki continua a schiaffeggiarlo.
"You fool, you are doing a very silly thing! Ikki, stop now, have you any idea what you are doing?"
"Shun! lts me, lkki!"
"You are really incorrigable." finalmente Shun-Hades si decide a parlare.
"Shun?"
"You are only hurting your own brother's body."
"What did you say?"
"If you understand me, back off, Saint of the Phoenix."
Shun-Hades apre gli occhi ed emana un fascio di luce rossa che sbatte Ikki a terra. Pandora ne approfitta per rialzarsi e puntargli contro il tridente.
"You have no fear of the Gods and you even dare raise your fist at us. Even if you were ripped apart, it would
still not simmer the anger of the Gods. No wlet me rip you apart and feed you to the dead. Die now!"
Pandora sta per colpire Ikki, ma Shun-Hades le ordina di fermarsi:
"Wait. I am not done with him yet. Don't act without my permission."
"Yes."
"Saint of the Phoenix. Listen closely." annuncia Shun-Hades "It's useless, no matter how you Saints fight for the Surface. Cause it is all a waste of time and energy."
"What?"
"The surface will soon become a sea of darkness where the sun can no longer shine on."
"What did you say? How can that be? What is this about?"

"Greatest Eclypse..."
"Greatest Eclypse?"
"That's right, with my power I will permanently move the solar system into a single line. That is the beginning
of the great eternal darkness. Because of my power, the moon will block the sun forever. So to say, there will be an eternal eclipse and in that way the earth will return to the Ice Age from million of years ago. Vegetation will dry up, all that is living will become extinct, turning into a world of darkness. As long as there is no sunlight, the earth
will become like a world of the dead and it will come under my dominion, the Underworld."
"What did you say?"
"Even if Atena tried, she wouldn't be able to stop me. Greatest Eclypse is just before our eyes. Saint of the Phoenix, don't waste anymore unnecessary blood. Just wait like this, for death to come."
"How can this be... Greatest Eclypse? If this is true then how can I just wait!?"
"I've told you, don't waste your time. There is nothing a mere human like you can do about it. Because this Greatest Eclypse is the wish of the Gods."
"Then I shall end that wish!"
"What?"

"Hades, I shall end your life!"
"You are foolish. You think you can kill a God like me? How many times do you want me to tell you,
your attacks only hurt your borther's body. Saint of the Phoenix, do you wish to kill this Saint of Andromeda with your own hands?"
Ikki esista un attimo, ma poi:
"Even if it is so... Hades! Watch this! Houyoku Tensho!!"
"What? This is ridiculus! Lord Hades!" esclama Pandora preoccupata.
Man mano che la fenice infuocata si avvicina, il pavimento e le colonne intorno si frantumano, ma Shun-Hades resta illeso.
"What?"
"This is quite a powerful technique. But, this can't even hurt a hair on my body much less my life!" commenta Shun-Hades.
"You incorrigible fool! Die!" minaccia Pandora.
"Pandora, back off! Just let the Saint of The Phoenix give it a try. This man never thought of leaving this place alive. How worthy is he to be the brother of the Saint Andromeda, my body. Then I shall grant you death now!"
"Take this! Houyoku Tensho!!"
Ikki ci riprova, ma questa volta Shun-Hades contrattacca.
"Bury the Saint of Phoenix in a suitable place." ordina Shun-Hades, dopo averlo sconfitto.
Tuttavia, Ikki riesce a sopravvivere.
"What? Does this man never dies?" esclama Pandora.
"That wasn't the power of the Gods, just not. Hades, didn't you use your full power? Or was that your full power already?" lo provoca Ikki.
Ikki lo attacca di nuovo, ma finisce ancora a terra.
"And again. Why? Why do you insist? Lord Hades' power seems useless." commenta Pandora preoccupata.
Ikki si rialza a fatica, scavalca goffamente una colonna e si avvicina a Shun-Hades.
"Now, I shall let you taste a power a thousands times greater! You body will be destroyed without a trace. Saint of the Phoenix, disappear!"

Shun-Hades si appresta a colpire, ma il suo corpo riesce solo ad emettere qualche scarica elettrica.
"What? What's happening? My body is resisting my will."
Tremolante, la sua mano si alza e si auto-afferra per il collo.
"What? My hand is moving without me controlling it."
"Lord Hades!" esclama Pandora.
"My body is not listening my mind and is attcking myself..." si lamenta Shun-Hades, mentre viene strangolato dalla sua stessa mano.
"What... What is happening? Shun... I saw Shun's soul..." si chiede Ikki stupito.
Dietro il corpo di Shun-Hades, compare lo spirito del vero Shun.
"Brother... Now... This is the opportunity to defeat Hades. Destroy Hades soul along with my body!" esorta Shun, con un tono da frocio.
"Shun..."
