Spoilers for this title

Quick recap

After the war against Hades, Seiya lives in a wheelchair, unable to speak or react, cared for by Saori. Artemis, Athena's sister, arrives with an offer: she will heal Seiya if Athena hands her control of the Sanctuary and the Earth. Saori agrees. Artemis's Angels take over the Sanctuary, and even old allies switch to her side. Seiya slowly wakes up, without remembering everything, while the angels hunt the Bronze Saints, among them Icarus Touma. Shiryu, Hyoga, Shun and Ikki fight again. Seiya climbs to the Sanctuary to get Saori back and ends up face to face with Apollo, Artemis's brother. The ending is open and leaves many questions.
