A series of side stories focusing each of the Gold Saints from Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas exploring their lives, mostly events which occurred before those of Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas.

In ancient times, the Titan Cronus (son of Uranus the sky and Gaia the earth) and his wife Rhea gave birth to six children. Five of them were swallowed by Cronus, and only one was saved, Zeus, hidden from Cronus by Rhea. Upon reaching adulthood, Zeus forced his father to vomit the other five gods. Zeus, along with his brothers and sisters, decided to battle the Titans for control of the universe. Cronus and the other eleven Titans lost the battle and were sent to Tartarus.

Thousands of years later, in Greece, the Pope visited the room of the recently reincarnated infant Athena, with a golden dagger.

Before he can kill her, the Gold Saint Sagittarius Aiolos saved her, and unmasked the Pope. Aiolos, horrified, fled. The Pope then declared him a traitor to the Sanctuary, and had Capricorn Shura murder him.

This caused his younger brother, Leo Aiolia, to grow under the shadow of his "traitor" brother, suffering from all manner of abuse and scorn.

It left him with a grudge against the Gold Saints and Sanctuary as a whole, which caused the Pope and most of the Sanctuary to distrust him.

To make things worse, the enemies of Zeus, the Titans, were revived and began to seek vengeance against him and the Sanctuary. This marked the start of Aiola's story and the battle of the Gold Saints against the Titans.

Episode G is set 7 years before the events at the beginning of the original Saint Seiya Manga, and 6 years after the death of the Gold Saint Sagittarius Aiolos.

This story starts after events in Episode G.

Backstory of the events taking place before Saint Seiya.

The story recounts the birth of Saga and Kanon until the time of Saga's suicide before Saori in the defeat of the Battle of the Twelve Houses.

Satou Fuuka is an orphan. Her aunt, who was her guardian, absconded in the night, leaving her with no money. Her parents wanted her to go to school, so she was looking for a job to cover her school expenses and rent (plus living expenses, though she didn't mention it). She goes to be interviewed for a part-time house helper job but is rejected before she can say anything, because the guy offering the job is the eldest for 4 brothers and it's an all-male household. She pours out her story, so he takes pity on her (even though he'd pointed out that she can't really take a part-time job if she doesn't have a guardian) and offers the job as a live-in position. However, he has one condition: she's supposed to disguise herself so his brothers don't take an interest in her. Her disguise: lots of towels around her body, so she looks fat; makeup so she looks old (39); plus her hair is all loose and she's wearing glasses.
The brothers are: Tsukasa (eldest, apparently already working); Akari (second son, first year college student with a wider strike zone for women than Tsukasa thought); Kairi (third son, genius high-schooler and Fuuka's classmate); Minato (youngest, first year middle-schooler who's a blue-eyed blond). Incidentally, Fuuka notices that none of the brothers look related.

High school student Amatsuki Iori was summoned to a different world to fight as a brave of salvation, but whilst he was trying to save the world, he ends up being killed by the companions whom he wholeheartly believed in.

It was then, when Iori thought that he already died, he came to his senses only to find that he was re-summoned to the same world, but in the future.

Back again as a brave to subjugate the demon king which his former self had failed to defeat previously…

Then, he noticed, that among the guys who ordered him to fight as a brave, the figure of one of his former comrades could be seen.

「……I will make you regret having betrayed me.」

A girl then appears before him as he is consumed by hatred, but not any ordinary girl – she is the former demon king who is also aiming to take revenge.

The brave man who abandoned his heroic ideals, exchanging them for a burning desire to take revenge and the former demon king who seems ready to join him in his new-found quest.

3) The Voices of Cicadas
Due to his deep-rooted fear of abandonment, Iwasaki has always preferred 'easy' relationships with married men looking for a quick lay, so as to ensure that the 'inevitable' breakup will be "fast, clean, and peaceful," since there's no chance that he'll come to expect genuine love from the other party. Needless to say, this seemingly foolproof plan has one major flaw...

4) Chocolate Soldier
Why do people try so hard to obtain things, when simply watching should be enough?

5) Laundream

7) Spring Storm
Checking back in with the pair from Closing Day.

8) Together, Hand in Hand
Revisiting the boys from Chocolate Soldier, as high school graduation grows near.

Four years ago, a relationship full of regret, four years later, a reunion that should have never occurred. Like a hedgehog with its spikes raised, he says hurting words he does not mean. Like a canary trapped in a cage, she has nowhere to escape. In the name of being bound, they embrace again.

A summer vacation assignment that involves the capture of human kind? Not only did Rairu and Ome became slaves, even the genuis Betta got dragged into this mess! What will eventually happened to Japan?

Workaholic, Natsume, misses the last train of the day on the same day that another office worker, Miki, misses it. They end up going to a business hotel nearby, but end up staying in the same room. For Natsume, who is used to working through a computer, staying in the same room as someone else is a first and he finds it extremely difficult to get through it. Especially with the friendly and bright Miki, who tugs him into the bed with him as they spend the night in the room together. When the next day comes, Miki tells Natsume that he'd love to see him again...?

Sky Vincent was born in a world where people are judged on magic rather than the quality of their character. So it was inevitable that when his first magic testing came in and he had the weakest magic power available, he was immediately disgraced by his family.

Walking in the forest, he met a wandering mage who informed him of the secret of his power - while his magic is minuscule, as it is the <<Null>> element, it can negate other types of magic. However, while his magic isn’t suitable for a few slow massive attacks, it is perfect for a hundred quick little ones.

Can Sky train up his magic so he can go from a laughingstock to the most powerful wizard in the world with a harem at his knees? (Note: he totally will because look at the cover he has fricking guns, just act surprised when it actually happens)

16-year-old Murai Masahiko is a fat, ugly, gaming-addicted social outcast with a fetish for the smell lingering around a scumbag in his class. When a beautiful girl named Mizusawa Haruka transfers into his class, one thing leads to another and they start dating. But there's a truth that Murai is all too aware of: Mizusawa Haruka died five years ago.

Saitou, a rather arrogant kid, announces his super power to his class on the first day of high school. He imagines that it will make all the girls swoon, and he'll be crazily popular. Unfortunately, his ability to bend a spoon looks more like a cheap trick than a super power, and everyone laughs in his face.

Soon he learns that he is not the only kid with superpowers at the school, and there is even a Super Powers Research Club. He soon finds himself dragged into the society of a friendly invincible girl, a violent telekinetic girl, and a mind-reader. Rather than being swooned over, Saitou appears to have the least impressive ability of the group! Is there any way for him to get the happy high school life he was hoping for?
