11) Shoketsu! Gold Cloth
     Reunion! The Gold Cloths
     Riunione! Gold Cloths

Riassunto classico del narratore:
"The Nether World. The Nether King, Hades rules the world of the dead. Youngsters who have come to this world of eternal darkness. The fight is even more intense. Also withstanding the cruelty of their destiny. And the Nether King Hades has reached out his evil hands onto Earth."
Voce di Hades: "An eternal eclipse. The eternal eclipse that I initiated shall destroy all living organisms on land and so it will become a frozen land in darkness."

Vengono ripresi parecchi minuti dell'episodio precedente, da quando Shaka viene raggiunto da Dohko, Mur, Milo e Aioria.
"You're... Roshi, Dohko of Libra." dice Shaka stupito, interrompendo la meditazione.
"R...Roshi? Dohko of Libra?" ripete Seiya. ""You too... Mu. Aioria. Milo. Even the 3 of you who have given me Cosmo to save me are still alive." esclama Seiya contento.
"It's all thanks to Athena." spiega Milo.
"Athena?" chiede Shun.
"Yes. Looks like we still have some unfinished business to take care of." risponde Aioria.
"Shaka, I'm going to return you the 108 rosary beads that you entrusted in my care."
"Mu..."
"Look, the rosary beads are changing colours. Darned. We have to wait until all 108 beads have changed their colours." fa notare Mur.
Infatti, i grani del rosario sono quasi tutti diventati rossi, ma ne mancano ancora 26 (li ho contati).
"Mu... But without the sun's rays, we won't be able to get through this Wailing Wall. That means we'll never be able to reach Athena, who has gone to the other side." spiega Shaka.
"The sun's rays..." ripete Dokho osservando il muro.

[Reunion! The Gold Cloths]

"And just when the Greatest Eclipse which Hades wants to use to cover the world with darkness, has begun... we have no time to hesitate. In that case, we'll just have to do our very best." conclude Shaka.
"We can do this. We can break the Wailing Wall." dichiara Dohko sicuro di sè.
"The Wailing Wall? Can be broken?" chiedono Seiya e Shun.
"Yes. If we combine the powers of the Gold Saints it's possible that we can make the sun's rays." spiega Dohko.
"Combine our powers...? Make the sun's rays? Master, this is...?" chiedono Aioria, Milo e Mur.
"Have you forgotten? Where is the place where the star signs of the Gold Saints shines? That's right. The star signs of the Gold Saints are all above the Golden Way. The Golden Way is the orbit of the sun for a year. The 12 Gold Saint Cloths, which are located on the Sun's orbit have been bathed in the sun's rays since the mythical times. That is to say, the Gold Saint Cloths contains unlimited amount of the sun's rays." spiega dettagliatamente Dohko, mentre gli altri sembrano cadere dal pero.
"You have a point there... Then, Master..." commentano Aioria e Milo.
"That's right. If we can increase the powers of our Saint Cloths which contain the sun's rays to the maximum
and merge our lives with them as, we'll be able to knock the Wailing Wall to pieces."

Dokho lancia le armi della Bilancia agli altri Gold Saints. Dokho tiene lo scudo, Mur afferra la spada, Aioria il tridente, Shaka la lancia bracciale, Milo la barra gemellare.
"The first time... For the first time, the Gold Saints... hold the weapon of Libra in your hand." osservano Seiya e Shun.
"Destroy the Wailing Wall." esorta Mur, espandendo il cosmo insieme agli altri.
"ln order to stop Hades!" continua Shaka.
"Protect Athena!" aggiunge Aioria.
"Stop the Greatest Eclipse!" continua Milo.
"And also to protect the peace in the beautiful world!" conclude Dohko.
"We'll become the sun's rays!" esclamano tutti insieme.
"Let's begin!" esclama Dokho.
"Let's raise the Cosmo to its greatest limits!" Aioria.
"Awake the 8th sense!" Milo.
"Let our lives bond as one!" Mu.
"Here at hell's deepest place." Shaka.
"Create the sun's light!" conclude Dokho.

I cinque Gold Saints scagliano contemporaneamente le armi di Libra.
"This... This is... This light is..." commentano Seiya e Shun.
Le armi di Libra emanano una luce ben osservabile anche all'esterno della Giudecca, dove c'è Pandora:
"That light... Perhaps... Saints intend to break the Wailing Wall? Chase after Hades? But this is futile. Even if it's the strongest Gold Saint. No way can they break that wall, absolutely no way."
Suspence. Tutti sono in attesa di qualche risultato.
"Is it broken? The Wailing Wall?" si chiede Seiya.
"Seiya!" esclama Shun.
"What!"
Le armi vengono respinte e rigettate addosso ai Gold Saints che le avevano scagliate e che ora sono a terra doloranti.
"Aioria, Mu, Milo, Roshi!" esclamano Seiya e Shun, soccorrendoli.
"Per-Perhaps... Perhaps it can't be broken even with such a great force?" si lamenta Dohko.
"What is that all about?" si lamenta Shaka alzando a fatica la testa.
"The strength of five Gold Saints..." commenta Mur.
"Plus that of Libra's weapons..." continua Milo.
"Can't even hurt that wall a bit." conclude Aioria.
"At-At least we need to gather the strength of all the 12 Gold Saints." realizza Dohko.
"Is there no way to get there? No way to get to the other side of the wall?" chiede Seiya fuori luogo.
"Where is Miss Saori? If we don't stop this Greatest Eclipse, we, everybody's land will be plunged into total darkness! This world is doomed!" interviene anche Shun ad abbassare ulteriormente il morale.

Intanto, in Grecia...
"Eclipse. But this moment, this special eclipse..." commenta Nachi osservando il cielo.
"It's as if the sun would not appear for the second time anymore." gufa Ichi.
"You! Only see the superficial phenomenon, don't speak nonsense!" arriva anche Shaina.
"Sha-Shaina!"
"Aren't Seiya and the others fighting hard in the Netherland right now? Don't say such unreal things! We must firmly defend the Sanctuary!" ordina Shaina.
"Yes... Sorry." risponde Ichi sottomesso.
"But.. Shaina... If something goes wrong, maybe the sun would never appear again." interviene Marin.
"What? Marin, Morlin, where have you been, at this hour?" la rimprovera Shaina.
"Don't be angry, Shaina. This eclipse... Don't you find it suspicious?"
"What?"
"Legend says that Hades, the King of Netherland, hates the sun most. If this is Hades' scheme..."
"Per-Perhaps... If really that was the case, this land..." capisce Shaina.
Ad un tratto, arriva anche Kiki, molto preoccupato:
"Oh no... Oh no... Oh no everybody!"
"Kiki, what happened, Kiki?" chiede Marin.
"This eclipse is happening everywhere in the world at the samt time!"
"What? How could it be? This is not normal!" si chiedono Jabu, Nachi e Ichi.
"R-Really is the Greatest Eclipse." commenta Marin.
"This world that has been showered with solar rays for so long will be gradually swallowed by total darkness." commenta Shaina.
"Seiya." invoca Marin guardando il cielo.

"Damn! Giving up? Bear to give up? We've already made it here!" infuria Seiya.
"Seiya." lo chiama Shun.
"Roshi, let us handle it this time!" propone  Seiya.
"Use-Useless.. Just like what Shaka said, if this Wailing Wall is the divider between hell and heaven,
no matter... any human being's strength would be futile!" risponde Dohko rassegnato.
"No. With the strength of the Gold Clothes we should be able to break this wall! The evidence is that even the Main Pillar in the ocean world has crumbled. Roshi, can you lend me the weapon of Libra?"
Per qualche secondo, compare il flash back della serie di Poseidon.
Seiya raccoglie la spada di Libra, ma...
"N-No! Stop now, Seiya!" ordina Dohko.
"Sei-Seiya! Seiya!" lo chiamano Mu e Aioria.
"Burn! Burn my Cosmo! Just like my arrival to Nether World, awake the 8th sense!" esclama Seiya, espandendo il cosmo con la spada in mano.
"Seiya!" lo chiama Shun.
"Shun, please take care of Miss Saori." le ultime volontà.
"Seiya."
"I-If... What if... Please inform my sister when you see her... Can't meet her again, sorry."
"Seiya."
"For the Earth, for Athena! Raise to your greatest limits and burn! My Cosmo!"
"Sei-Seiya!" esclamano tutti.
Seiya si scaglia contro il muro, ma rimbalza indietro a cade a terra. Figuriamoci se ci riusciva con quel poco cosmo che ha espanso! Infatti si rialza subito.
Inaspettatamente, compare una luce dorata.
"That... That is?" si chiede Shun stupito.
"What... Why is it here..." esclama Milo.
"This is..." esclama Seiya.

In Grecia, si vede una cometa fuoriuscire dalla Casa del Sagittario.
"Hey Hey, just now! Something that resembles a shooting star has just been spotted coming out of the Sagitarius Palace." esclama Jabu.
"Em, really saw it." conferma Ichi.
"Look Shaina, this is..." osserva Marin da un'altra parte.
"Sagitarius Palace is not the only! Aquarius Palace, Scorpio Palace, Taurus Palace and Cancer Palace. Pisces Palace too..." esclama Jabu.
Sei raggi luminosi escono dai Templi e frecciano nel cielo.
"No doubt. That is... That light is the Gold Clothes!" realizza Kiki.
"The souls of the dead Gold Saints have all lent support at the Netherworld." riflette Shaina.
"Please, Aioros, please lend your strength to Seiya and the rest! All the people on this world awaits their return and also the people they wish to see." prega Marin, riferendosi a Miho e Seika.

Intanto, Hyoga e Shiryu stanno ancora correndo, completamente estranei a tutti gli eventi capitati finora.
"Finally here at the eighth level of hell!" esclama Hyoga.
"Can't feel the presence of the Specters. Perhaps they have all gone to the Giudecca, together with Seiya, Roshi and the rest?" riflette Shiryu.
"Must hurry up, Shiryu!"
Ad un tratto, i due vedono delle scie luminose in cielo.
"Hyoga... That is..."
"That light is..."
"That... That sacred light is..." osserva Pandora all'ingresso della Giudecca.

Al Muro del Pianto, la prima a comparire è l'armatura del Sagittario.
"What is the Gold Cloth of Sagitarius doing here?" si chiede Shun.
"What? Perhaps he's here?" si chiede Dohko.
"Perhaps..." Mu.
"In order to save us..." esclama Shaka felice.
"Aioros." lo nomina Milo.
"Brother." lo chiama Aioria sorridendo.
"Light... again..." osserva Shun.
"That is..." commenta Dohko.
"The Gold Cloth of Aquarius!" esclama Shun.
"What? Camus's soul too..." commenta Shaka.
Man mano, le armature stanno comparendo una a una davanti agli occhi stupiti di tutti.
"This is the Gold Cloth of Capricon!" Seiya.
"Shura!" chiama Milo.
"Golden Cloth of Taurus!" Seiya.
"Aldebaran!" Mu.
"Even the Gold Clothes of Cancer and Pisces!" osserva Aioria.
"Death Mask! Aphrodite!" esclamano Seiya e Shun.
Ora le armature sono quasi arrivate tutte.
"The Gold Clothes of the dead saints! All have come to the Netherworld!" esclama Shaka.
"Six Gold Clothes... Plus my Libra's Gold Cloth... Virgo and Leo's Gold Clothes... Scorpio and Aries' Gold Clothes... Eleven Gold Clothes had been gathered here at the Netherworld!" riflette Dohko, contandole tutte.
"The reunion of the Gold Clothes!" commenta Seiya.
"Yes, and Kanon..." aggiunge Shun.
Le armature presenti iniziano a risonare, emettendo dei bagliori intermittenti, sia quelle indosso ai Cavalieri vivi che quelle rimaste senza padrone. Il suono però è diverso da quello della vecchia serie.
"W-What... Gold Clothes..." esclamano Seiya e Shun.
"This-This sound... Gold Clothes..." esclamano Milo e Aioria.
"The Gold Clothes here are striking a symphonic chord." spiega Mu.

Kanon sta correndo, quando anche la sua armatura inizia ad illuminarsi ritmicamente:
"This symphonic chord... All of the Gold Clothes are calling out to that of Gemini. Besides, this symphonic style...
No doubt that it's a critical situation."
Kanon vuole affrettarsi alla Giudecca, ma compare Rhadamantis:
"I'm sorry, I can't let you proceed any more, Kanon."
"Still do not know when to stop, Rhadamantis."
"What?"
"Your Netherworld has already been defeated."
"What?"
Kanon si libera della sua armatura, che si ricompone.
"The Gold Cloth is actually off you! You! What do you want?" chiede Rhadamantis seccato.
"I don't need anything now, return to my brother!"
"What?"
"Okay, go now, Gemini! To where the other Gold Cloths are! Goodbye forever, Gemini! Gotta depend on you from now on, Saga!"
L'armatura non ci pensa due volte e abbandona Kanon per volare al Muro del Pianto.

"Okay, maybe my mission is over. I can finally be an opponent for you just now, just for the last round, Rahadamantis!"
"You! What are you contemplating?"
"Should have mentioned. I'm only returning the Gold Cloth of Gemini to its owner, that's all."
"By removing the cloth, you're just a naked body. How can you fight me? How dare you despise the Netherworld's three Giants?! Greatest Caution!"
Dopo aver colpito Kanon con un fascio di luce "di riscaldamento", Rahadamantis scaglia il suo attacco migliore. Kanon finisce a terra dolorante.
"Why.. Isn't the same strokes indifferent to the saints?"
Proprio come nella Valle del Vento, Kanon si rialza di scatto:
"Genrou Maou Ken!"
Tuttavia, questa volta Rhadamantis riesce a bloccargli il colpo, afferrargli un polso.
"I'm not impressed. Is it because the cloth is off? Or are you hiding the fact that you've been injured by Aiacos and
the rest before this? You're pissing me off, Kanon! I don't like this kind of fight! Hope to deafeat the very commited you!" lo rimprovera Rhadamantis, sbattendolo a terra.
"You're indeed easier to handle than I thought, Rhadamantis." sogghigna Kanon.
"What?"
"Alright, shall fulfil your wish!" esclama Kanon rialzandosi.
Rhadamantis scaglia dei fasci di luce. Kanon cerca di avvicinarsi a Rhadamantis strisciando a terra.
"Idiot! Without your cloth and already half dead, and you still expect to beat me? To hell! Kanon! Biggest..."

Kanon fa un balzo e afferra Rhadamantis per le spalle.
"You... You idiot!"
"Come with me, Rhadamantis! We shall perish together!"
I due iniziano a salire in cielo.
"How could it be? How are going to do, now that you're in this state? You mean it?"
"I should have mentioned that my mission is over! Right now, Giudecca has already gathered all twelve most powerful Gols Saints!"
"What?"
"And victory is presumed! I, Kanon should have repaid my old debts by now. With no burdens of unfinished missions. Okay, let's fly to the galaxy, Rhadamantis!"
"N-No! Kanon!"
"Come experience with me how it is like to be crushed into star dust!"
"Greatest Caution!"
"Galaxian Explosion!"
Rhadamantis esplode e Kanon scompare nella luce. Fine romantica per due maschi.
"Athena... Brother..." sussurra Kanon prima di scomparire.

Intanto, Hyoga e Shiryu si accorgono dell'esplosione in cielo.
"Shiryu, this cosmo is..."
Purple Dragon, this little universe is..."
"Kanon. This meteor is..."
"That is what Kanon was wearing. Gold Cloth of Gemini."
"Gold Cloth of Gemini has also flown to Giudecca."
"Hurry, Shiryu!"
C'è una bella vista della Giudecca dall'alto.
In poco tempo, i due entrano nella Giudecca e trovano la scalinata che conduce al Muro del Pianto.
"What happened at the end of this stairway?" si chiede Shiryu.
I due arrivano al Muro del Pianto, contemporaneamente all'armatura di Gemini (che strana coincidenza...).
"This light... is... Gold Cloth of Gemini!" osserva Shiryu.
"Not only this, all of the other Gold Clothes are also there. And my mentor Camus' Aquarius' Gold Cloth." osserva Hyoga.
"Shura's Capricorn's Gold Cloth is also here."

"This is just..." esclama Dohko.
"Twelve Golden Clothes!" osserva Seiya.
"Seiya, Shun!" esclama Shiryu e Hyoga.
"Shiryu! Hyoga!"
Anche i 4 Bronzi si sono finalmente riuniti.
"T-Teacher, what exactly happened? Teacher? Why are all the Gold Clothes gathered here? And the Gold Clothes without their owners are here too, at the Nether world's deepest place." chiede Shiryu.
"It's all because of Athena. To create the sun's ray from this hell." risponde Dohko.
"The sun's ray of light? Create?" chiedono Shiryu e Hyoga che si sono persi tutto quanto.
"Shiryu, Hyoga. After Athena chased to Hades beyond this wall." spiega Seiya.
"W-What? Athena...?"
"That's why she has gathered us here." spiega Dohko.
"In order to create the sun's ray of light. To connect to the path towards heaven. To Destroy this Wailing Wall." spiega Shaka.
"Finally get it now. We live for this very moment, to connect to the path towards the future." aggiunge Mu.
"W-What? Gold Clothes are in a symphonic chord and give out the ray concurrently! This glaring light... What exactly is this..." esclamano i Bronzi.
Le armature emanano una luce più abbagliante e inziano a scomporsi.
"This is... Perhaps... This is..." esclamano anche gli altri 5 Gold Saints.
