Joint Production

In a bygone age, before the worlds of gods and men separated.

Thrace

Go!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

But here's what I don't understand:

You were ordered by the Mother Goddess of Olympus to live like this...

But, Demeter, you haven't forgotten what happened before, have you?

That despicable Poseidon...

By Cronus, what he did to you was atrocious...

Now, he controls everything.

Zeus is returning to Olympus.

He's claiming he's the supreme ruler of the pantheon.

Arion! Are you still awake?

A child shouldn't eavesdrop on an adult's conversation.

Go back to sleep this instant.

As you can see, Hades, living with Arion is the only thing that's important to me.

Complain all you like, but nothing will come of it.

Go back to where you came from at once.

See? This is digitalis. If you grind it into a powder, it'll bring down a fever.

This is mugwort. When mixed with stinging nettles, it makes an ointment for wounds.

Look! There are lots of belladonnas over here!

Well, well, aren't you a knowledgeable little boy, Arion?

Mother taught me everything I know. But...

I feel sorry for Mother. She can't see.

But there aren't any herbs I can mix together to make a medicine that cures blindness.

That's not true.

What?

In Macedonia, there's a type of flower called the Arcana.

They say that it can cure every kind of eye malady.

Really?

Yes. In fact, on my way here,

I saw several on the other side of the mountain path.

Shall we go together to take a look, Arion?

Arion!

Arion! Where are you?

Arion!

Arion!

Arion!

Arion!

Uncle, are we there yet?

Just a little further. We'll be there soon.

But I have to go back now.

Uncle! I can't!

Mother will be worried!

Uncle!

Zeus!

Your brother, Hades, is spiriting Arion to the underworld!

Will you allow him do such a thing? Zeus!

Zeus!

Yoshikazu Yasuhiko

How is he?

He still seems really upset.

Does a coward like him really have the power you speak of?

No! Go away!

Leave me alone!

Geedo, huh?

Those useless peons.

Cerberus!

Hydra!

That's right!

That's why you're...

Use this!

Arion! I anticipated that you would prove worthy and so you have.

You are indeed a Titan.

Liar! Uncle, you're a liar!

You cannot restore your mother's eyesight with herbs.

You tricked me!

Take me back! Take me back to my mother!

I cannot do that.

Why not?

Because a curse has been placed on your mother's eyes.

A curse?

Correct. Until she is freed from that curse,

Demeter will remain blind.

How can the curse be removed?

Do you really want to know?

Defeat Zeus!

Defeat Zeus!

Zeus did this to her!

The whole Titan family are to blame for Demeter's plight!

You will find Zeus in his celestial palace on the westernmost peak of Olympus!

If you fight for your mother's cause, you shall become invincible!

It was Zeus...

who plotted to rid the world of you and your mother!

Even Poseidon holds no fear for him!

Go forth to Olympus!

And present Zeus' snow-topped head on a platter to your mother, Demeter!

The three brothers of the Titan family murdered their father, King Cronus...

and divided his kingdom up into three territories.

The calculating youngest brother, Zeus, became the ruler of Olympus and all things on the land.

The next brother, Poseidon, became the God of the Sea.

And the eldest and unluckiest brother, Hades, became ruler of the grim underworld.

But Zeus and Poseidon were equal in strength.

Poseidon, the ruler of the seven seas, laid siege to Zeus' domain.

Yet Zeus, with his eldest daughter Athena as his general,

managed to keep him at bay.

Now, the whole world is at war...

Wait!

What a dumb ox! Catch the great Seneca if you can!

By the gods! Go on then! Do your worst!

What's this? Showing me mercy?!

Hmph! Cut the horseshit!

Y-You're... You're a Titan, aren't you?

You are, aren't you? I thought as much! You inhuman Titan!

May Zeus smite you! Acting all high and mighty—

Geedo!

How dare you...

I see. So this is—

He is only a boy, yet his skills are mighty. There must be a reason for it.

What is our next move, Sister?

Hmph! Well, let's see if we might persuade him to loosen his tongue.

Stay back, Lesphoena!

Talk! How did you procure that sword?!

You are one of Hades' henchmen, aren't you? Why do you wield it?!

Tell me! What relation are you to Hades?

What has Hades said to brainwash you?!

You have spirit, boy.

Old man Hades is an evil bastard.

Not only is he not content with his underworld domain,

but he's the kind of god who'll use that whelp to upset the balance, isn't he?

Stay back!

Lesphoena...

That's your name, isn't it?

Thank you.

The pain has lessened.

I'm holding up well.

Thank you.

I'm Arion.

Are you unable to talk?

I see...

Delicious!

What's wrong? Please continue your song.

You have a beautiful voice.

Though, I'm a little disappointed that you were only humming.

Try singing. Project your voice and bellow your song.

Sing, Lesphoena.

Well? Use your voice.

Sing! Sing, Lesphoena!

You act like the dog you are, Brother! Let that girl be!

Oh well. The fun had only just started.

Hold your tongue!

If you weren't my brother, I'd kill you where you stand!

Leave this place immediately!

This is no place for a lecherous beast like you to be stalking in!

A divine war, is it? It most certainly doesn't sit well on the palate.

I see that I've caused you trouble, Ares.

Oh, I almost forgot. You mentioned Arion, didn't you?
