In "Saint Seiya: Legend of Crimson Youth," the goddess Athena is confronted by a formidable threat in the form of her older brother, Phoebus Abel, the God of the Corona. Abel arrives with a chilling proclamation: humanity must be destroyed as punishment for their age-old corruption, mirroring a cataclysmic event from antiquity. Confident in his divine power, Abel dismisses the legendary Bronze Saints, including Seiya and Hyoga, expressing that Athena will now be protected by his elite forces — the three Corona Saints: Atlas of Carina, Jaow of Lynx, and Berenike of Coma Berenices, alongside the five resurrected Gold Saints who perished in the previous Sanctuary battle.
As Abel's dark intentions unfold, Athena refuses to accept the eradication of humanity and mounts a rebellion against her brother's ruthless plan. In retaliation, Abel launches a devastating attack that sends Athena's soul to Elysion, the eternal resting place from which none can return. This poignant moment sets the stage for a high-stakes battle between divine power and human courage, tested through the strength and loyalty of the Bronze Saints.
Determined to save their goddess and restore hope, Seiya, Hyoga, and their fellow Bronze Saints rush to the Sanctuary, confronting the overwhelming forces led by Abel and his powerful followers. Their journey is fraught with peril as they face off against the Corona Saints and the resurrected Gold Saints, testing the limits of their resolve and power. Ultimately, through unwavering dedication and heroic sacrifice, the Bronze Saints prevail, overcoming the godly threat and reaffirming their commitment to protect Athena and humanity.
