The battle for Sanctuary reaches its climax! Seiya penetrates to the heart of the Master's chamber, only to be paralyzed by the Master's deadly Phantom Demon Emperor Attack.

Dude, what. Seiya and Shun are thirteen, Hyoga and Shiryu are fourteen, and Ikki is fifteen?!

Anyway, the Sanctuary Arc is complete! I feel better now that I know what's up when I read Bleach and other things that rip off the Gold Saints!

Tomo con la conclusión de la saga del Santuario ("Chapter 1" según el mismo tomo), más la saga de Natassia en el país de los Hielos más las Character Data que tiene 56 fichas de personajes más Aclaraciones de la traducción.

[Ernesto I. Ramirez]

More interesting conclusion and more information than in the anime.

[Jimmie Hua]

What a great conclusion to the Sanctuary Arc and the battle to save Athena, hopefully the main bronze knights are still alive and okay but it looks to be hinting otherwise at the end…

[Leamos con Amor]

Mmmm.... Creo que la palabra que describe este tomo es... Interesante. No se que decir. Hay mucho que discutir. La primer parte del tomo es la conclusión sobre la batalla entre los caballeros de bronce y los de oro, cuando Seiya logra salvar a Atena. Lo raro de esta primera parte que te deja con el pensamiento de que todos murieron. Pero es claro que no.
Ya la segunda parte es cuando Hyoga tiene una pelea en Siberia. El final de esta segunda parte me dejó pasmada realmente! Ya que confieza algo impresionante (no! No es gay

[Fugo Feedback]

Me encanta que este tomo no busca disimular cómo va a terminar la saga de las Doce Casas ya desde el título: ¡¡Atena revive!! Buen final para una saga clásica, épica y recordada por miles de razones. El capítulo extra de Asgard está bueno pero hasta por ahí. Lo que sí me gustó mucho fueron las fichas de los personajes, las siempre simpáticas aclaraciones de Cynthia y que aparece una foto de mi amiga Vic como una saint angel.

[Variaciones Enrojo]

Edición argentina. Incluye el final de la saga de las Doce Casas y el capítulo extra de Hyoga en Asgard.
