Quick recap

While the Bronze Saints recover, Poseidon wakes inside Julian Solo, a rich heir who already knew Saori, and makes it rain nonstop to drown humanity. Saori gives herself up at the undersea temple and gets trapped in the Main Breadwinner, taking in the water to save the Earth. Seiya, Shiryu, Hyoga, Shun and Ikki dive to the ocean floor to topple the seven pillars guarded by the Marina Generals. The weapons of the Libra Cloth help break them. Ikki learns that Kanon, the Sea Dragon, is Saga's twin and has been pulling Poseidon's strings all along. Once the pillar falls, Saori faces the god, and Seiya dons the Sagittarius Cloth. Athena seals Poseidon's soul in an urn, and Julian is just a man again.
