Ikki reveals his grueling training on Death Queen Island. His master taught him to use hatred in order to win, but Ikki fell in love with his master's daughter, Esmeralda. However, One day, Esmeralda was accidentally killed by her father while Ikki fought him. Enraged by the lack of interest of his daughter's death, Ikki killed his master. Since that day, Ikki became the Phoenix Saint, the leader of the Black Saints and a creature of hatred. Back in the present, Seiya and the others try to make Ikki their comrade, but Docrates and his men arrive from the Sanctuary in Greece and steal most of the Gold Cloth. Ikki gives Seiya the Golden Helmet and sacrifices himself by creating a huge avalanche with his Rising Phoenix to kill Docrates. Seiya and his friends swear to protect the helmet, retrieve the rest of the Gold Cloth and avenge Ikki's death.
