season 1 (26 episodes)

The Crusades. The battles that take place every 200 or so years between the Goddess Athena and Hades, the Lord of the Underworld. In an 18th century European country town, just as the Crusade is dawning, live Tenma and Alone.

The Awakening of Hades,

Golden Saints gather around the Goddess Athena and her Sanctuary, in preparation for the new Crusade against the Underworld warriors.

The Holy War Begins,

Tenma and the other Saintly Warriors head towards an Italian town where the warriors of the Underworld are gathered. Tenma realizes it is his hometown, and worries about Alone's fate.

The Prayer Wreaths,

Though she learns of the death of Tenma, and of her brother Alone's reincarnation as Hades, Sasha pushes away her sadness and steadfastly fulfills her role as Athena.

The Poison Rose,

One of the three strongest Specters, Minos, uses invisible puppet strings to invade the supposedly impenetrable Sanctuary, killing Saints off one after the other.

Floral Funeral Procession,

Albafica fights against Minos with all his might, releasing the "crimson zone." However even that is deflected by the Specter's armor, causing Albafica to finally fall.

Tenma and the others hear that the immortal Specters can be destroyed using berries from the Goldenrain tree that grows in the Underworld, so they quickly search for it.

A Favorable Wind,

Tenma bears the full force of Asmita's attack. When suddenly the Goldenrain reacts to Tenma's rising cosmos and bears fruit. Asmita disappears, and Tenma and the others gather the berries and flee from the Underworld.

The Taurus Golden Saint Aldebaran uses his amazing strength to defeat the Specters as they attempt to close in on the Sanctuary. Then, full of hostility, Heavenly Violent Star Vennu Kagaho comes down, ready to fight.

Aldebaran bears Kagaho's powerful attack, and defeats him with the "Titan's Nova," a move so powerful it breaks the earth. However, Aldebaran feels Kagaho is not a threat, and does not finish him off. The hurt Kagaho flies away into the twilight sky.

Tenma finally returns to the Sanctuary, and challenges Alone to a fight, only to have the tables turned. Then, the Pope arrives and uses an amulet from a previous incarnation of Athena to release the "Talisman Cage" and weaken Hades' power.

Relentless Sacrifice,

The painting covering the whole sky, "The Lost Canvas," is said to destroy everyone on earth when completed. Tenma hears to his dismay that the once kind Alone is now trying to destroy all of humanity as Hades.

Tenma leaves the Sanctuary and has resolved to fight on his own. However, on orders from the Pope, he is stopped by the Cancer Golden Saint Manigold and locked in a cell.

The Forest of Death,

Pandora seals away Alone in his studio so that he can focus on the creation of the "Lost Canvas," and completely awakens as the King of Hades.

If I Could Return to that Day,

Upon entering the forest of Death, Yuzuriha is separated from the others. She is confronted by her brother, who she thought died years ago. His voice sends her back to the past…

Gods and Pawns,

Tenma, Yato, and Yuzuriha are surrounded by Veronica's zombies, only to be saved by Cancer Saint Manigoldo. Manigoldo had come to protect Tenma at the pope's orders. With his overwhelming power, he splits Veronica's body in two.

Manigoldo finds the location of the Twin Gods, but is helpless before the might of Thanatos, the God of Death. The Pope Seiji arrives to help him. As he struggles to withstands Thanatos's attacks, Manigold remembers how he met Seiji when he was young.

I Only Want You to Live,

Thanatos finally gets serious after being wounded by Manigoldo. But even in the worst position imaginable, Seiji doesn't falter. Don't use the word despair so loosely, he says, and Manigoldo remembers his old days with his master and regains hope.

Hypnos gathers the four gods who control dreams. One of them, the Vision Icelus, appears in Sagittarius, avoiding Capricorn El Cid's attacks, and steals the soul of the unconscious Sisyphus. El Cid leaves the Sanctuary alone to get it back.

Prison of Dreams,

Nearing Hades's castle, Tenma suddenly finds himself standing before his undamaged village. He can't shake the feeling something is wrong as Alone and Sasha tell him everything has been a dream.

Beyond the Dream,

With one of the four gods down, El Cid finds himself confronted by Icelus. Icelus continues to overpower El Cid with his dimensional abilities, but El Cid is determined to rescue Sisyphos.

The Path of Righteousness,

Tenma and El Cid are helpless before the combined might of Oneiros and the other three Gods. But Athena appears in the dream world to save Sisyphus. Tenma and El Cid begin the fight anew to protect Athena.

Athena enters Sisyphus's dream. There she finds that Sisyphus torn by guilt over taking her away from Alone and Tenma. He thinks that he ruined her life, and caused the Holy War.

Hour of the Final Battle,

With the four God's barrier destroyed, Hypnos's "Barrier of Sleep" is lifted, and the forces of the Saints march on Hades castle! Hakurei gives them a rousing speech as Seiji, then enters Hades castle alone to defeat Hypnos.

The Many, Many Years,

Hakurei goes into Hades castle alone, protected by a blade from the last Athena. He tears apart the oppossing Specters until he reaches the center of the barrier that protects Hades Castle.

Hakurei uses a powerful attack with the help of his fallen comrades to seal Hypnos. But when he raises his blade again to destroy the barrier, King Hades appears. Tenma and Dohko come to help, but the awakened Hades is too powerful.
