(Before I begin mumbling, I want to say that it has been years since the last time I actually watched Saint Seiya so some details may be vague or imprecise but I get the whole picture)

Imagine the following situation:

>During the Sanctuary arc, Shun is about to die at the hands of Pisces Aphrodite (I don't remember the aftermath of most of his fights but let's say this time it has been the closest one to die) and while the last remaining of blood is being sucked by the rose in his chest, he recives a vision of Pandora and calmly encourages him to rise up and defeat Aphrodite with a soft and calm voice with something along the lines of 'Rise up, my Lord, you can not die yet'.

>Then, Hades' souls manifest for a brief moment lending him enough power to wake up, a manifestation of Hades cosmos appears around him, destroy's Aphrodite's rose and gets back his blood. I don't mean this as an edgy anime transformation, but more like the regal and somber expression of Hades' face appears in Shun, calmly and without excessive violence.

>Aphrodite notices this and experiences true fear because of the extremly powerful, dangerous and ancient cosmo exuded by Shun, improper for an Athena's saint let alone a bronze saint.

>just by rising his arm, Shun sends a black and red stream of cosmos that not only kills Aphrodite instantly but also vaporizes the Pisces gold cloth and makes it unrecoverable without divine intervention from Saori. Once the job is done, Pandora supresses Hades soul somehow, and Shun falls unconscious pacefully as a result of this.

>this event doesn't go unnoticed by the rest of saints in the Sanctuary but they have no explanation for what just happened, but they know that it wasn't normal and definitely not good

>When Saori makes her way to the Pisces temple, it shows obvious signs of battle, but Aphrodite is nowhere to be found, Shun is without his armor, unconscious and with obvious wounds but is fine otherwise. Nobody knows what happened because nobody was present and Shun doesn't remember anything.

>all this sequence I imagine it to happen in no more than 2 minutes, so the audience can clearly see what happened but without enough information to leave them wondering and theorizing from that point until the reveal in the Hades' arc

I think this could fit as something 'offcial' because I don't think it breaks the canon, Shun is still Hades vessel but gives the audience something to think about, for example during the War arc in Naruto shippuden when Kabuto shows Obito (pretending to be Madara) Madara's real body leaving the audience of the moment to think 1) If Madara is the one behind the Mask, who could have Kabuto resurrected to strike that much fear into Madara 2) if the masked man is not Madara and the one being resurrected is Madara, who the hell si he?

Issues that could rise with this is why doesn't it happen more times in the series as Shun loses more fights later but I could say that none of the future loses could compare to this so it was used as a last resort for preserving Shun's body in preparation for Hades resurrection, and why didn't Hades resurrect then and I could say that maybe Pandora was waiting for Poseidon and Hilda to be out of the game to strike, or maybe so shun could gain more strength as the fights go on

Thoughts?
