First, I am happy that Kurumada didn't go against the basic idea of the Sanctuary: you just can't jump from the end temple / Pope's house to the entry of the location "by magic", jumping or whatever.

Secondly, Shadow Arrow?! Plus Athena's presence. A nice way to make Aioros go through the temples in a "believable" way while staying close to the sagittarius theme.

5/5

I fully agree with what @Rei366 mentioned in his post. I love how this short manga expands the story of Aiolos' escape from the Sanctuary by adding a lot of details who are coherent with the original concepts and fit into everything in smart, believable way.
Good that Aiolos was running without doning his Cloth, just as it happened in the original series.

Shadow Arrow is interesting, not only as a new Sagittarius special attack. It brings us memories about essential style of attack techniques that have been present in "Saint Seiya" franchise since its creation. By that I mean attacks not supposed only to deal damage or look spectacular, but affect the enemy in a surprising way. By those kind of techniques fights can be more interesting than going by "who is stronger" theme all the time. Instead some of them can be based on outsmarting enemy, doesn't matter if he is stronger or weaker than the protagonist.

This chapter also reminds us one thing... That Aiolos was not only one of the greatest Saints, full of virtues etc., but one of the strongest as well. Here we could easily see how many hardships stood on his way to escape the Sanctuary. Let's not forget he did that from the Pope's chambers levels.
