The battle for the Gold Cloth known as the Galaxian Wars
entered its second stage.

Andromeda Shun's ultimate weapon, the Nebula Chain,
overwhelmed Unicorn Jabu and put him behind by one point.

1. “put sb. behind by...” 这种结构在比赛等情境中常用，表示使某人在比分等方面落后特定的量 。“by + 数量词” 常用来表示程度、数量等。
2. 翻译：使他落后一分。

However, the Andromeda chains began to sense the presence
of another enemy in the colosseum.

Axia...?

What does it mean? What is Axia?
And what kind of enemy does that signify?

In a shocking twist,the new enemy turned out was none other than Shun's older brother Ikki, the Phoenix Saint.

• “twist” 名词，词源与古英语 “twist” 相关，原义 “扭曲” 动作有关，表示 “转折；意外变化”。
• “twist” 的形近词 “twin”（双胞胎之一；孪生儿之一），词形相似但意义不同。

For reasons not yet clear, Ikki has become a demon of hatred.

• “demon” 是名词，词源与希腊语 “daimōn” 相关，原指 “神灵；精灵”，后常指 “恶魔；恶鬼” 。

What's happening?

Is that the enemy?

Stolen Away! The Gold Cloth

Yes, that's right.

He's my... big brother.

You're still alive... I knew you'd make it back to me! Brother!

Look out!

Shun... I see you're still the same old crybaby.

Just looking at your pathetic face makes me sick to my stomach!
You're going to be the first, Shun.

The first victim of my bloodbath!

Brother!

Brother!

Die, Shun!

N-no, not my Shun!
Stop it!

What... what happened to you, Brother?
Please tell me!
I have nothing to tell a worm like you.

Hold up, you snide bastard!

• snide” 常带有贬义，意为 “挖苦的；恶意的” ；
• “bastard” 在口语中是对人的一种蔑称，原指私生子，意思是 “杂种；坏蛋” 。整个表达是一种非常不礼貌、带有侮辱性的称呼。

I was supposed to be the one who took Shun down!

Where do you get off interrupting our fight?!
Shove the hell off!

• shove：动词，词源可能与中古荷兰语相关，基本意思是 “猛推；乱挤”，在 “shove off” 中引申为 “离开”。
• hell：名词，原指 “地狱”，在这种表达中作为粗俗的语气加强词，不表示其本意。

Cocky punk. You don't care who you pick a fight with, do you?
Then let me be the first to lay a proper smackdown on your a--

• “Cocky punk” 是一个名词短语。“cocky” 是形容词，词源可能与 “cock”（公鸡，常象征骄傲）有关，意为 “自大的；自负的”，用于描述 “punk” 的特点。
• “punk” 作名词，最初指 “小流氓；阿飞”，词源可能与荷兰语 “pomp” 相关，原义与 “不重要的人” 有关，后演变成指代特定的不良青年群体。
• “proper” 形容词，意为 “适当的；恰当的”，词源与拉丁语 “proprius”（自己的；特有的）相关
• “smackdown” 是合成词，由 “smack”（打；拍击）和 “down”（向下）组成，原义是 “重击使倒下”，常引申为 “痛击；彻底击败”，在这个短语中表示 “狠狠地教训”。

What?!

N-no way... I dodged that...!

• 构词法解析：“dodged” 是动词 “dodge” 的过去式和过去分词形式。“dodge” 词源可能与中古荷兰语 “dodsen” 相关，意为 “躲闪；躲避”，常指快速移动身体以避开某物或某人。从构词角度看，它没有常见的词缀，属于基础词汇。
• 形近词分析：形近词有 “budge”，意思是 “微微移动；改变主意”，与 “dodge” 词形相似，但 “budge” 侧重于微小的移动或态度改变，而 “dodge” 强调为躲避而进行的动作。

Brother!

Jabu!

He's on another level!
His Cosmo is overwhelming.

Um... Miss Saori?

Ikki...

Listen up, little miss.

Both you and Mitsumasa Kido will pay for what you've done!

I won't stand for such rudeness in front of the lady!

• “savor the moment”（享受这一刻）。
• 这里用 “savor my revenge” 形象地表达出要尽情享受报复对方的过程。

Just wait, I'll lop that fat head of yours straight off!

• “lop off” 是一个常用的动词短语，意思是 “砍掉；剪掉” 。此句整体是一种非常强硬、带有威胁性的表达。
• 翻译：我要把你的那颗肥脑袋直接砍下来！
• 单词分析：
  • lop：动词，词源可能与古英语 “loppian” 相关，原义可能与弯曲、下垂有关，后引申为 “砍；剪” 。
  • yours：名词性物主代词，由 “your” 加 “ - s” 构成，在这里用于双重所有格结构，指代 “你的（东西）”，在句中代指 “你的头”。
  • “straight” 是副词，意思是 “直接地；立即地” ，起到修饰 “lop off” 这个动词短语的作用，强调动作 “lop off”（砍掉）是干脆、毫不迟疑地进行，突出说话者强硬、决绝的态度。

I never thought he'd come back from Death Queen Island alive...

So, who wants to be next?
Seiya? Or maybe Shiryu?!

Ikki!
The Ikki we knew is dead. That man is someone else entirely.
Don't let him fool you!

What's going on?
-I don't get it... -This is weird.

But Ikki, it hurts!
Oh come off it, Shun.

I swear, just about anything makes you cry.

Now that we've lost our parents, we have to stay alive by becoming Saints.

But, Ikki...

Hey, Ikki.

What's your problem?! That hurt!
Listen, Shun's the only family I have left in the world! Don't pick on him!

"Death Queen Island"?
Well now, Shun the crybaby.

It's ironic that you of all the candidates were the one to pick Death Queen Island.

• “of all...” 是一种习惯表达，用于强调在特定范围中，尤其用于突出意外或特别的情况。例如 “of all people”（偏偏是……），这里 “of all the candidates” 强调在所有候选人这个范围内，“you” 的情况具有讽刺性。

Whoa, Death Queen Island...
-That's harsh. -He's dead for sure.

• harsh:严厉的；严酷的；刺耳的；粗糙的

Have you ever heard of Death Queen Island?

Out of all the candidates we've sent there through the years,
not a single one has come back as a proper Saint.

Well, a few of them did actually come back but they weren't the same.
They became totally different people!

-B-but I... -Sounds like fun.

I'll be going in his place.

Ikki, you don't get to make the rules here.

I don't care if he's your brother!

Back off, old man.
It doesn't matter who goes where as long as we bring back a Cloth, right?
But, Big Brother, you...

Don't worry. I'll make my way back to Japan, no matter what.

Listen to me, Shun.

Did you not hear me?

Yes sir.

Ikki.

Nothing in this world is determined by mere coincidence.
I have no doubt that this is the fate which you were given.

• 这个世界上没有什么事情仅仅是由巧合决定的。

I expect you'll come back here as Saints in good shape. Understood?

Hmph! You're full of shit.

• 单词分析：
  • shit：名词，原义指 “粪便”，在口语中常被用作粗俗的咒骂语或表示不屑、厌恶等负面情绪。它也可作动词，意为 “拉屎”。此词使用场合较为低俗，在正式场合应避免使用。

How can anyone come back from hell in good shape?

You brat! Watch your mouth!
Let him go.

Indeed.

The day will come when you boys understand why I did this.

Come on! Wolf Cloth!

Arms and knees!

Hmph. Don't just stand there and pretend to be a badass!
