The Shadow of the False Pope

In the wake of the victory against Cronos, consequences make themselves felt. Saga — who has manipulated events from the beginning for his own ends — tightens his grip on the Sanctuary. Aiolia, who now possesses the truth about his brother and doubts about the Pope, finds himself in an uncomfortable position: he knows too much to be innocent and not enough to act.

The atmosphere of this volume is that of the calm before the storm. Episode G unfolds just before the events of the original series — the seeds of the Sanctuary's corruption, the Pope's false death, and Saga's manipulation are sown here. Aiolia understands that another war is approaching, an inner one this time.
