As Monday arrives, so do the initial spoilers for chapter or phase 4 of the Saint Seiya Tenkai-Hen manga, which chronicles the Celestial Saga. Before delving into the events of the fourth chapter of this manga arc, it’s important to note that in his comments for phase 3 of Saint Seiya Tenkai-Hen, Masami Kurumada confirmed that Chimaki Kuori served as his assistant in developing this initial batch of six chapters. Kuori is recognized for her manga adaptation of Gundam Seed and for writing and illustrating Saint Seiya: Saintia Shō. This suggests a potential collaboration with other mangaka involved in Saint Seiya spin-offs for upcoming installments.
According to the First Spoilers, What Happens in Chapter or Phase 4 of the Saint Seiya Tenkai-Hen Manga?
Chapter or phase 4 of the Saint Seiya Tenkai-Hen manga picks up exactly where the previous one left off, with the Pegasus constellation emerging directly from Seiya’s body as his Cosmo burns intensely. Despite this, both Seiya and Shun find themselves completely confused and unaware of what is happening. Consequently, Saori advises them to return to their peaceful lives and not dwell on the matter.
Suddenly, Seiya realizes that Jean is pursuing Saori, so he immediately intervenes and shields her with his own body. Jean fires an arrow, but for some unknown reason, the projectile stops dead just before hitting Seiya.
At that moment, Saori confronts Jean and demands that he shoot her directly. However, Jean is struck by Athena’s Cosmo and is completely defeated.
Meanwhile, in the heavens, Calisto reports to Artemis that Hades’ army has begun its resurrection. The report also confirms that Athena is once again only half-awakened. To prevent Athena’s full awakening, Artemis tasks Calisto with protecting Saori from the shadows. Back with the Bronze Saints, Seiya and Shun suddenly faint. By the time they regain consciousness and awaken, both Jean and Saori have completely vanished.
What is the Release Date for the First Six Chapters of the Saint Seiya (Tenkai-Hen) Celestial Saga Manga?
The first batch of chapters for the Saint Seiya: Tenkai-Hen manga will deviate from the usual eight-episode format seen in Next Dimension, offering a short season of six chapters. This is due to the inclusion of an interlude story—Saint Seiya Then—in its first compiled volume. Regarding the release of the chapters for the Tenkai-hen manga, as it is a weekly publication without planned interruptions for this block, the subsequent chapters of the Saint Seiya Celestial Saga will be released consecutively every Thursday in Japan, one day earlier for our region. Thanks to this, we can share the release or publication dates for the first six chapters of the Saint Seiya Tenkai-Hen manga.
