Quick recap

Seiya comes back from Greece with the Pegasus Bronze Cloth. He is one of the hundred orphans that millionaire Mitsumasa Kido sent around the world to train, and all he wants is to find his missing sister, Seika. Kido's granddaughter, Saori, stages the Galaxian Wars, a tournament between the returning Saints, with the Sagittarius Gold Cloth as the prize. Seiya fights Dragon Shiryu and makes a friend. Mid-tournament, Shun's brother Phoenix Ikki shows up full of hate and steals the Gold Cloth with his Black Saints. The Bronze Saints win the pieces back and defeat Ikki, who seems to die in a cave-in. Saori reveals that she is Athena.
