When Seiya, Hyōga and Shun visit Saori (Athena) at the orphanage, they meet an employee called Eri. An orphan herself, Eri takes a liking to Hyōga and one night they sit outside watching the stars. They see a shooting star and Hyōga asks Eri to make a wish. After Hyōga leaves, however, Eri becomes powerfully attracted to the shooting star and wanders alone into the woods, where she finds a golden apple. She is then possessed by Eris, the Goddess of Discord, and kidnaps Athena, planning to use the golden apple to suck her energy out, fully reincarnate and take over the world. Eris leaves a message for the Bronze Saints, who set out for the goddess's temple which appears on the mountains. There, the heroes fight the five Ghost Saints: Maya of Sagitta, Orpheus of Lyra, Christ of the Southern Cross, Jan of Scutum (called by the Japanese name Tateza) and Jäger of Orion.

Kaiji (played by Tatsuya Fujiwara) is about to have his life changed. The thrill is beyond anything he, or most people, have experienced. The adventure is not without risk and danger however. He is given four games, which are challenges, and include life and death situations. The film follows its prequels and things will get both mental and physical.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I have been a Saint Seiya fan since my childhood, being one of the first anime series that I've seen in my life. Sadly, none of the movies based in that series could match the same level of epicness and fun that the original Saint Seiya had, having all those movies a very interesting premise, but a very poor and predictable development.This movie was the first one to introduce the predictable pattern followed by the other "Saint Seiya" movies: A new enemy appears, the new enemy kidnaps the goddess Athena/Saori; Seiya and company went to fight against this new enemy and they battle separately the minions of this new enemy, Andromeda Shun can't fight alone, so he has to be saved by his brother Phoenix Ikki, and at the last moment, when everything seems lost, Seiya uses the Sagittarius Gold Cloth to defeat the new enemy, and Athena and the World are saved. The end.The most disappointing part is that all those movies start in a very interesting or promising manner, with lots of potential to develop a new and interesting story, but all that potential is wasted in order to follow the formula which I previously described.There is almost no participation of the secondary characters, only the main heroes and the new enemies introduced for the movie, which sadly doesn't get a very well development since their screen time is way too short and their participation in the story is rushed and forgettable.In the good side, the music is excellent as always, the designs and the animation were pretty good and the action scenes were decent. Too bad that the plot was so incredibly shallow to make appreciate those virtues.I only recommend this short movie to the fans of Saint Seiya, since it does have very little interest to anyone else.
