Marin, Seiya's teacher, and Shaina play key roles in the fights. Finally, the Pope sends Aiolia of Leo, a Gold Saint, to kill Pegasus in Japan. Seiya is no match for him, but Aiolia ends up realizing who Saori really is. Saori reveals she is Athena and decides to go to the Sanctuary to confront the Pope.
