After the Sanctuary

The Sanctuary saga ends in the original series — Seiya triumphs, the fake Pope is unmasked, Saori is saved. But for the Saintia, one threat persists: Eris is still there, still in possession of Kyoko, and the resolution of the main crisis has resolved nothing for Shoko. Her personal war continues where Seiya's great war stopped.

This volume marks a narrative turning point: Saintia Shō is no longer the hidden reverse of a known story but its own story, with its own stakes. Eris, freed from the narrative competition of the Sanctuary crisis, can finally fully express her potential as an antagonist. Her plan to sow discord at the divine level — not just in the Sanctuary but among the gods themselves — becomes clearer.
