The Lost Canvas Ep.2 — The Awakening of Hades

Hades' soul has taken root in Alone's body. The young painter, once gentle and dreamy, becomes a vessel for the divine will of the god of the dead. His canvas takes on a cosmic dimension: the Lost Canvas, a painting that absorbs the souls of the dead and remolds the world according to Hades' vision.

The first of Hades' Specters manifest on Earth. Athena's Saints answer the call, but the news is unsettling — their enemy wears the face of a human being, a child they do not yet know. Tenma, however, knows exactly who Alone is.

This episode establishes the stakes of the entire series: how can Tenma fight his best friend? The moral question runs throughout The Lost Canvas — the Holy War is not merely a battle between deities, but a human tragedy.
