✅ – they set up the entire Hades arc.
In the end, the Hades Batch is less a sequel than an epitaph. It is the story of the Saints finally fighting not for Athena, not for Earth, but for the very concept of hope against absolute oblivion. When the final credits roll on Elysion , and the Pegasus constellation shines alone in a silent sky, the viewer understands: this was not a holy war. It was a farewell—and a masterpiece.
It is important to note: As of 2025, the official licenses for the Hades OVAs have fragmented. Crunchyroll streams the Sanctuary chapter, but the Inferno and Elysion chapters are often region-locked. The Blu-ray box sets from Toei Animation are out of print and expensive (often exceeding $300 USD). This is why the "batch" demand remains high—not out of malice, but for preservation of a culturally significant work.
9.5/10
Back to the present (the 12 hours after Athena’s suicide). Sanctuary is in ruins. Shion’s ghost and Dohko, having faked their deaths, meet in the crumbling Pope’s chamber.
The Saints reach the paradise of Elysion to face Thanatos, Hypnos, and Hades himself.
: 6 episodes (the conclusion of the original manga storyline). For fans looking for a complete guide to the series
