I'm glad we could see June ascending through the Houses of Zodiac, and even interacting with a Gold Saint who was alive, conscious, and still on post. It's good that she managed to leave before Saga's shadow appeared before Milo and used his powerful technique to knock him out.

But the star of this episode was definitely and obviously Shiryu, who faced Capricorn Shura alone. Experiencing Shura's ace move, Excalibur, was extremely tough. Slashes to the body were only a mere prelude to Shura increasing the power of his sword. By adjusting the power, he was able to destroy Shiryu's Cloth without sweating, starting with the impenetrable shield, pride of Dragon Bronze Cloth.

And then, the forbidden move has been used... Rozan Ko Ryuu Ha (Kanglongba). Farewell, Shiryu (Long).

I liked this episode. It was a solid adaptation. In general, I prefer the original anime's version, but this one had several elements that were done better due to being closer to the source material's version of this part of the Sanctuary arc.

Also, it was really nice to see the original anime's design of Shura's Gold Cloth. I've always found those long horns on his helmet to look cool, hehe.

Two Zodiac Houses left. The next is the House of Aquarius, defended by Camus, Hyoga's master.

Shiryuu sacrificed himself valiantly against Shuura with the suicidal Kanglongba attack.

man this show lacks blood, gotta say it was much cooler in the OG how Shiryu blocks Shura with his bare hands right before he cut off his head, here it lacked impact
though it was a cool ending, seeing a dragon going into space an all

Finally, this is a great episode done right. Good fight sequences and solid storyline of Long and Shura. It took about 5 years and almost half of 3rd Season to get this good.

It's a bit too late to save this series? Seems like this series is paying back the sins of Season 1 and Eugene Son. Hopefully things got pickup soon and Season 1 nonsense becomes distant memories but alas, some mistakes can't be fixed without re-Rebooting the series again.

All in all great episode here though and excited to see what next.
