The Black Phoenix

The Black Phoenix (ブラック フェニックス, Burakkufenikkusu) also called the Ikki's Shadows are a group of warriors from the Death Queen Island under command of Phoenix Ikki, sent to attack the Tokyo Coliseum during the Galaxian Wars and steal the Sagittarius Gold Cloth.

Its origins can be traced to the time when the Black Saints managed to produce the Black Cloths, they made several copies of the Phoenix Cloth to equip their lower ranking soldiers. Strictly, they're not Black Saints as they do not appear to use their cosmo to fight, and are easily defeated by Bronze Saints.
