Quick recap

Tenma trains on Canon Island to get stronger. At the Sanctuary, Defteros is revealed as the hidden Gemini Saint, and Unity, Dégel of Aquarius's ally, is killed by Radamanthys. Kardia of Scorpio dies fighting Radamanthys, and Dégel takes on Unity and freezes Atlantis. To reach the Lost Canvas, Athena readies the Argo, a flying ship. Violate attacks it and falls to Regulus of Leo, and Aiacos boards the vessel. The Argo takes flight, and a returning Sisyphus gives up his sight to defeat Aiacos. Tenma defies Hades using Sasha's blood, and Sisyphus dies against Pharaoh, destroying the entrance. The crew is left at the gates of Hades' painting.
