Spoilers for this title

Quick recap

In Siberia, Hyoga saves a man under attack and vanishes soon after. Saori, Seiya, Shiryu and Shun travel to Asgard, in the far north, to find him. There they're welcomed by Dolbar, Odin's representative, who claims to know nothing. The Saints sense an evil Cosmo in the place and soon see the plan: Dolbar wants to rule Asgard and the Sanctuary too, and he imprisons Athena. His God Warriors attack the Bronze Saints, and one of them, masked, is Hyoga himself, his memory wiped. Seiya and his friends beat Loki, Ullr and Hrung, bring Hyoga back to his senses and defeat Dolbar to free Athena. Non-canon.
