In order to take revenge, Ikki stole the parts of the Sagittarius Cloth and challenged the other Bronze Saints to a battle for it, he is defeated and joins the Bronzes Saints later as the anime series goes on.

## Abilities

Ikki is a powerful Bronze Saint as is often confronted with the strongest enemies. His energy level also places it well above all the saints of silver. As the myth of the Phoenix, the power of Ikki increases every time he is killed and resurrected, his techniques are:

* **Phoenix's Wings Rise**: this is his physical attack, which gathers forces of wind and heat into a concentrated point, unleashing them in a single blow. This attack covers a wide range of distance and it's Ikki's signature move. It may also be used on multiple enemies at the same time.

* **Phoenix Illusion Demon Fist**: This is infamous for destroying the minds of its victims—the technique is dealt from either a single fist or a finger. Concentrating his Cosmo into his fist to literally destroy his opponent's mind. Once used, it sends various nightmare illusions directly created by the opponent's brain; he or she is trapped within an illusion that is almost indistinguishable from reality. It also considerably weakens control of the Cosmo and depth of perception of reality. Ikki's Phoenix Illusion Demon Fist usually spells doom for the one in the receiving end—unless he has an unusually powerful mind, In addition to weakening and trapping an enemy in a powerful illusion (followed by instant death) this attack also serves to delve deep into an enemy's mind, In some battles, Ikki first uses the Phoenix Illusion Demon Fist to paralyze his rival, and then deals the **Phoenix's Wings Rise** to finish him off.
