"they split the sky and shatter the earth!" "1800)}18th Century" " Europe" "Hold it right there!" "Damn." "I missed." "You won't get away!" "Yeah!" "You deserve that." "Aim for its head next." "Got it!" "Take this!" "Please stop." "What?" "Acting like a girl." "Oh!" "I know this guy." "He lives in the orphanage just outside town." "He's a freak who takes painting lessons at the city church!" "you!" "Hand the dog over." "we'll teach it a lesson." "Don't be cruel to the puppy." "You have a problem with that?" "We worked hard for lunch money." "Then..." "Please take this red paint in exchange for the puppy." "I bought it at the city yesterday." "you'll be able to buy lots of bread." "Let's go and sell it right away." "it's a good deal." "don't you feel thirsty?" "Let's buy some milk!" "This is great." "It's not!" "Tenma!" "Ouch!" "Idiot!" "What were you thinking?" "You worked your ass off for that paint!" "Now you have to start all over again." "You bastard!" "Tenma." "They did this because they had no money!" "Besides..." "Besides?"

"It looks like the painting could come alive at any moment." "You're?" "Let me introduce you to him." "He's a priest from the Forest Cathedral." "Sensei. he specially came to visit you." "The Forest Cathedral?" "I've never seen him before." "But I've always... don't you?" "Y-Yes." "which is kept deep inside our cathedral?" "it's normally not opened to the public..." "So I'm always sent away." "that even sinners would unconsciously feel remorse and shed sincere tears." "An ethereal painting." "It's my greatest dream to look at that painting in person." "huh?" "Just now... why is it that the angel in the center has no color in her eyes?" "I couldn't come up with a suitable color." "I wanted a shade of red which looked like the sunset." "I tried several shades but..." "There is a limit to the colors which humans can create." "The colors that humans perceive are merely illusions created by the reflection of light. not real colors." "Fabricated colors and... real colors?" "Correct..." "A painting drawn with fabricated colors..." "How would it stir anyone's heart?" "If you wish to seek the real colors..." "Go to the mountain north of the city." "you'll find flowers and fruits dyed red by the blood which flowed out when angels were stripped of their wings." "Those possess the truest red on Earth..." "You could say it's a real color." "It's such a deep mountain." "Will I truly find real colors in a place like this?" "Hey!" "You'll get lost!" "Is this..." "Is this the place where real colors are found?" "What a beautiful place." "It's like I'm inside a Greek myth." "At the paradise beyond the Banks of Lethe." "The place where one can only enter with permission from the gods." "The Elysium Fields..." "Would this be the true red that the priest spoke of?" "this isn't what I'm looking for." "since we've come all the way to such a lovely place." "using this scenery as a background." "I still like the various colors created by the reflection of light." "but there are many kinds of red." "gentle ones." "Happy ones." "the light has its own feelings." "Don't you think that it's beautiful?" "where colors come from the same body and yet are unique in their own way." "there's also my favorite color." "Eh?" "What's happening?" "Everyone's... you can acquire all the colors in the world." "Did you know?" "If you put all the colors of light together a dark color will be formed." "My name is Pandora." "Why?" "A person who knows no hate..." "I have always been searching for you." "Our Lord..." "What are you saying?" "in order to return to this world." "The body of the human with the purest soul of this era." "I have been waiting for you." "Hades-sama!" "What's that?" "Fool." "Specters of the Underworld!" "I have some questions for you guys." "we'll surely shred you to pieces!" "That Cloth!" "(Force of Mount Lu's 100 Dragons)" "Rozan Hyakuryu Ha!" "You are Libra Dohko!" "Impossible!" "Aren't you one of the omnipotent Gold Saints?" "Why...?" "I'm here to beat Hades up." "The fact that all of you are gathered like this... ain't it?" "Where's the Lord of the Underworld?" "!" "No one's gonna tell you anything." "we are aware of you guys." "Athena's Saints will never find him!" "Before that time comes..." "No way..." "I could clearly sense a huge Cosmo that resembled that of Hades." "It has now disappeared completely." "It's as if the Lord of the Underworld had been reborn into a human." "I have to hurry!" "are you awake?" "That's great!" "Where am I?" "Of course it's our home!" "You collapsed on the mountain path." "On the mountain path?" "Yeah." "Tenma said that he could vaguely sense that your aura was in pain." "So he went looking for you." "he really found you lying there." "I was surprised!" "Did you... sense that special aura again?" "Maybe it's a mysterious power arising from Asian blood." "I can feel it within myself." "It's like an universe residing in my body." "Universe?" "Yeah. and continue to refine it; becoming a mighty power!" "you're saying strange stuff again." "That kind of... don't overdo it!" "Something fell." "Don't touch it!" "No..." "I didn't mean that." "I think I understand what your sensation is like." "Tenma." "Do you feel something within me?" "Tenma!" "Alone!" "What's with your anxious looks?" "We're in trouble!" "The river has overflowed and is heading straight for the village!" "Those city bastards!" "they closed the gates!" "Damn it!" "Treating us like objects!" "I'm going there." "What are you saying Alone?" "With this condition what can you" "It's okay." "I'm just going to ask them to open the gates." "They'll surely listen to me." "nobody is truly evil." "There you go again..." "Are you stupid or what?" "!" "it'll be alright." "Tenma!" "I'll think of a way!" "What are you planning on doing?" "I'll go take a look at the state of the river!" "going alone... remember?" "I'll protect you guys no matter what happens." "Because we're family!" "We're friends!" "Tenma..." "What's he gonna do?" "What will happen to us?" "!" "Don't worry." "but he's a kind and honest person." "right?" "I trust him." "Because of the landslide..." "The river changed its course!" "What can I do by myself?" "What can I do to save them?" "!" "What should I do?" "!" "Damn rock!" "But..." "I have to do it!" "I promised..." "That I'd always protect them!" "How can I give up?" "as many times as it takes!" "it's nothing!" "They really broke." "But..." "So what!" "A Cosmo?" "non-Specter Cosmo..." "Impossible!" "It's a child!" "Is he trying to break that huge rock?" "How foolish!" "Even if he succeeds... kid!" "Tenma!" "Tenma!" "Tenma!" "Tenma!" "Tenma!" "Tenma!" "I can feel them." "Alone and everybody else..." "I know they're praying for me..." "I know they're giving me strength... the universe within me is telling me" "It's alright." "You can do it." "You'll definitely save everyone!" "Tenma..." "What?" "!" "That kid really destroyed the rocks!" "was no doubt a Cosmo!" "What a fearsome fellow." "hang in there!" "Everyone..." "Alone..." "Did I save them?" "I... promised that..." "I'll definitely save them..." "Rest assured!" "The river is back on its course!" "Everyone's been saved!" "I did it..." "What an incredible fellow..." "Hey kid..." "Do you want to use that power and passion for the sake of many more people?" "For the sake of justice and love on this Earth." "Become one of Athena's Saints." "stop moving." "That's tough!" "Bear with it." "I might not have the chance to paint you in the future." "I'll be back soon!" "After becoming a Saint of Athena." "I give up." "I've always wanted to create a red that's similar to your eyes." "The red color of my eyes?" "I'm not a rabbit!" "No..." "That's not it. more lively than the stove fire." "It has a great shine." "I'm not able to create that kind of color." "I'll finish this painting." "I'll try to become an outstanding artist." "So..." "Yeah... it's a promise!" "Dohko!" "Did he finish the painting?" "No..." "It'll be finished another time." "What's the matter?" "It's nothing." "Pardon me." "clear eyes." "Tenma." "To the Sanctuary." "Alone!" "Tenma... right?" "More than 200 years have passed since the last Holy War." "the anticipated resurrection of the Lord of the Underworld..." "Yes." "We just have to wait for him to awaken fully." "all lives in the world will be annihilated. over the world of darkness and death." "the distant memories have lost their colors." "i open the old artbox silently with an unchanging smile." "our dreams were drawn on the heart's canvas the colors have not faded yet we experience the warmth from the past... why do people have love and hate were we born like this? forever shackling our youth."
