Saint Seiya: Warriors of the Final Holy Battle

Lucifer, the fallen angel condemned by the gods, returns and spreads disasters around the world. His four angels of hell, Beelzebub, Astaroth, Eligor and Moa, storm the Sanctuary and take down the Gold Saints. Saori sacrifices herself to hold off the attack. The Bronze Saints climb up to face the angels one by one, in a fight where they are clearly outmatched. With Athena gone, they rely on their own Cosmo and on friends who arrive at the last second. In the final showdown with Lucifer, Seiya wears the Sagittarius Gold Cloth. Lucifer falls and Athena returns. The last 1980s film, outside the canon.
