Saint Seiya: NEXT DIMENSION - Meiou Shinwa
聖闘士星矢 NEXT DIMENSION 冥王神話
In 1990 (previously 1986), in Elysion; the five Bronze Saints Seiya, Hyōga, Shun, Shiryū and Ikki, having wreaked havoc in the Underworld's army and succeeding in resurrecting the God Cloths, engage the god Hades in a final duel to the death.
During the battle, Hades remembers that he has seen Seiya's face before and comes to the conclusion that he faced him before. He thus starts reminiscing about his previous host body, and the story starts 247 years prior, in the 18th century.
The protagonist, the Pegasus Saint of this era, is an orphan who is best friends with a boy named Alone, the host of Hades. Former Bronze Saints Dohko and Sion, two prominent characters in Kurumada's original manga as the sole survivors of the holy war of that century, have just been promoted to Gold Saints and eventually the two duos meet.
Note: Includes three extra chapters.

Characters
一輝
MAINPhoenix Ikki (鳳凰星座フェニックスの一輝, Fenikkusu no Ikki; Literally meaning "Gleam") is the bronze saint of Phoenix. Although he was introduced later than the other four main Bronze Saints, Ikki's role in the story is quite significant.

He is considered the most mature of the five heroes, and thus the wisest. As the Bronze Saint of the Dragon constellation, Shiryu dons the emerald Dragon Bronze Cloth, a jewel among the Clothes due to its legendary defense properties.
瞬
MAINAndromeda Shun (アンドロメダ星座アンドロメダの瞬, Andoromeda no Shun), also known as Shun, literally meaning 'twinkle, instant', is one of the Bronze Saints. He is arguably one of the strongest in the series, although his gentle disposition and kind nature tend to prevent him from using his true power, unless he is forced to do so.
氷河
MAINCygnus Hyoga (白鳥星座キグナスの氷河, Kigunasu no Hyōga; lit. meaning "glacier") is one of the main protagonists, and the Bronze Saint of Cygnus. He was trained by Aquarius Camus, who taught him how to control and manipulate ice by arresting the movement of atoms with Cosmo. Following his master's teachings, he tries to maintain a rational and cool attitude, but has an emotional side that he struggles to let go of.
