Led by Bronze Knight SEIYA, the Knights of Athena draw upon their amazing martial arts skills as well as their mystical powers, each keyed to a different sign of the Zodiac, as they attempt to defeat PHOENIX and his Black Knights, who would do anything to gain the Cloth of Sagittarius. EPISODES PHOENIX’S SECRET REVEALED Ikki tries one last time to renew his attack, but a final punch from Seiya downs him. Ikki tells in a flashback of his horrible life on the Island of Doom. His trainer was cruel, beating him terribly in an effort to teach him to hate. But the man had a lovely daughter named Esmeralda, and she and Ikki planned to run away together. One day, during a battle with his trainer, Esmeralda appeared and got in the way of her fathers fists. Seeing her hurt drove Ikki crazy, and he finally learned to hate as his trainer wanted him to. The Phoenix cloth assembled itself onto his body, and Ikki was now Phoenix. Esmeralda and her father went away and he never knew where. The hatred he learned then has stayed with him to this day. Ikki’s flashback is interrupted by the appearance of a giant Docrates, and his soldiers, who want the gold cloth. During the battle, great fissures appear in the earth. Ikki falls into one, but Shun saves him. Ikki’s inner goodness is restored by this act, and he comes to the Bronze Knights aid. A landslide seems to bury Docrates as well as Ikki.
