It was then followed up by an arc filled with new characters (I'd refrain from describing them to avoid spoilers) who were the ones that took the center stage in dealing with the case at hand as the MCs get relegated to the sidelines, showing up once in a while on-screen, with smug reactions on their faces implying they are picking the case apart one by one while they were off-screen.
What came next was the climactic first interaction with the villains of the story. This set the tone for what's to come as the show nears the finale.
But it's literally just the worst parts of it with nothing else. It's so aggressively formulaic and badly structured that it comes off as a story written by someone who hates shonen battle manga and wants this story to convince other people to hate it. Every single fight has exactly the same structure as a fight against a Gold Saint, but they cannot actually give whatever "new peak" the bronze saints' cosmo reaches a new name, so there's no progression at all even though it's telling us there is. And then there's the fact that the God Warriors, like the Gold Knights before them, are literally working against their own interests. With the Gold Knights, I was willing to overlook that because they were sworn to serve Pope Aries and they believed Athena was in Sanctuary even though she wasn't. They had no reason to disbelieve the bronze saints, but they had little reason to believe them either. In Asgard, their version of Athena is Hilda and she has suddenly become openly evil. Her plan will destroy the world. Her sister, Freya, joins up with the bronze knights to stop her. And the God Warriors fight to defend her because they just assume she's right and that Freya has been brainwashed or something. At one point, Hyoga says "helping us would be directly helping Freya" to the God Warrior who was in love with her.
