E56Shaka! The Man Closest to the GodsThe Bronze Saints arrive at the Virgo Temple. There, they meet Shaka, the man whose power is the closest to God's power. Yet, he doesn't seem to notice the saints in front of him. Seiya tries to attack him, but Shaka hits him hard and Seiya goes to the ground. The same happens with Shiryu and Shun, and finally Shaka defeats all of them with his technique: TenMaKou Fuku (Devil Lord's Blessing). When Shaka is about to kill Shun, a Phoenix Feather cuts his hand. Phoenix Ikki has arrived. Since Ikki hurt Shaka's hand, the Gold Saint creates a river of blood, where Ikki will drown unless he gives up and becomes a follower of Shaka, but Ikki uses his flaming cosmo to vaporise the blood river. However, Ikki still can't attack Shaka, who paralises him the same way as before. Then, Shaka uses his Rikudo Rinne (Cycle of the Six Worlds) attack, sending Ikki's spirit to the nothingness. - Fear of the Void! Shaka Opening His Eyes
E57Fear of the Void! Shaka Opening His EyesIt starts to rain. Ikki is lying dead on the floor, and Shaka tries to find out which world Ikki has chosen. All of a sudden, Ikki stands up and hits Shaka with his Phoenix's Ghost Attack, but it proves itself ineffective against the Gold Saint. Instead, Ikki sees the illusion. Shaka destroys the Phoenix's Cloth with his powerful cosmo and attacks Ikki with Rikudo Rinne again. Ikki can't evade it, and his body is burnt to ashes. However, he reappears again with his immortal cloth. Shaka uses his last resource: The TenbuHorin (The Treasure of the Heaven) attack. To use this attack, Shaka does what the saints most feared: he opened his eyes, unleashing his full power and destroying Ikki's cloth again, and the first sense of Ikki: the touch. Shaka explains that the TenbuHorin destroys the five senses of the opponent one by one, and so he does with Ikki, destroying the smell sense. Ikki then asks him if Shaka knows about the Pope's acts, and accuses him of being a saint who is not dign of - Heroical! Ikki Dissolved Because of Friendship
E58Heroical! Ikki Dissolved Because of FriendshipIkki is on the verge of death, since he cannot move, speak, smell, see or hear. Shaka tries to kill him but Shun stops him. Shun challenges Shaka but Ikki stands up and telephatically tells Shun that Shaka is his opponent, not Shun's. Shaka attacks Ikki again, but surprisingly Ikki blocks Shaka's power with his cosmo. Seiya and Shiryu regain their consciousness. Shaka understands that Ikki's brain and heart are still 100% active, and that's why Ikki's still conscious and fighting, so he uses the TenbuHorin again to destroy Ikki's brain. Shun challenges Shaka again, but Ikki is not dead yet. He promised to Shun that he would defeat Shaka. Ikki reaches the seventh sense and his cosmo becomes a energy wave that breaks through the roof of Virgo temple and falls down directly over Shaka. Ikki disapperars, reappearing again behind Shaka. He tells Shaka that he allowed Shaka to destroys his five senses on purpose, in order to focus his energy (like Shaka did with his eyes closed). Ikki tells - Revive, Swan! Life, Death and Love
E59Revive, Swan! Life, Death and LoveThe stakes are very much heightened. Defeating the remaining Gold Saints requires more than strength as demonstrated by the noble sacrifice of Ikki the Phoenix Saint. The remaining three of Seiya, Shiryu and Shun race bravely towards the Libra temple...
