Black Saints

Burakku Seinto (暗黒聖闘士) Ankoku Seinto (暗黒聖闘士)

The Black Saints (also known as Ankoku Saints in the anime adaptation) appear as servants of the Bronze Saint Phoenix Ikki, on his quest to kill all the Bronze Saints. All of them trained in Death Queen Island along with several sons from Mitsumasa Kido, but most of them died. Their Cloths and techniques are counterparts to the ones from Pegasus Seiya, Dragon Shiryū, Andromeda Shun and Cygnus Hyōga. Although, there is only one counterpart of each Cloth, in the manga the Black Dragon Saint has a blind brother that helps him to fight. There are also several Black Phoenix Saints, who refer to themselves as Ikki's shadows, although in the anime one of them appears as the strongest one. Before Ikki, their leader was a man called Jango who protects the Phoenix Cloth until he is killed by Ikki. The four Black Saints are defeated by their equivalents during the series, and in the manga they are later killed by the Silver Saints, who were meant to kill the Bronze Saints, but mistook them due to an illusion created by Aries Mu.
