Ha! Jaki ciekawy sposób na pzredostanie się na teren Turnieju, panie Feniksie. Ale dobra, skoro jakimś cudem zmieścił się cały do tego małego pudła, to gdzie jest zbroja? A jak jest w pudle, to jakiej sztuczki zmniejszania ciała użył Ikki?

Bo to chyba jasne, że to Ikki. Ale jest jakiś taki inny, zupełnie nie ja on. Znaczy okej, trening i miejsce, gdzie trenował na pewno nie były najprzyjemniejsze i się zmienił, ale żeby aż tak? Nieee, panie, tu muszą być jakieś czary w to zamieszane. Chyba że to jest blef, chociaż na taki nie wygląda, bo daje czadu i rwie kończyny. Tylko po co, jaki w tym cel? Ano... nie wiem.

Wiem tylko tyle, że im ten Turniej się posypał i chyba na razie nikt Złotej Zbroi Strzelca nie zdobędzie. Wgl to nie pamiętam, w jakich okolicznościach wpadła w łapki dziadka Kaori. No i poznajemy kolejne zło tego świata - Czarnych Rycerzy. Co prawda nie wyglądają na super rozgarniętych kolesi, ale w końcu jeden z nich przyznaje, iż to tylko cienie Mistrza. Mistrza w sensie, że Ikkiego czy kogoś innego?

The Galaxy Tournament is disrupted by the arrival of Phoenix Ikki and his Black Saints. A new arc begins wherein Ikki challenges our heroes (Seiya, Shiryū, Hyōga, and Shun) to defeat his Saints to reclaim the pieces of the Gold Cloth. This involves a slight detour whereby Shiryū heads to the Himalayas to get his and Seiya's Cloths repaired by the mysterious Mū, though it seems he must sacrifice his life to do so, and he accepts because Seiya saved his life earlier. The volume ends with Seiya, Hyōga, and Shun meeting the Black Saints at Aokigahara.

The gore when Ikki kills the Wolf guy's soul was cool as fuck, and way over-the-top.

I kind of don't like how the Black Saints are just mirror images of the Bronze Saints, complete with having the same hairdos.

The base form of the Andromeda Cloth is sexier than I feel a metal statue should be....

As before, reading the 'totally legal' scans of this online, because trying to find actual physical copies of this series to read is the most daunting challenge I've faced so far as a manga collector.

Holy crap, though, this volume. It started off kind of 'meh' for me, BUT THAT LAST CHAPTER. THAT ENDING. WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK WAS THAT? I know I normally don't resort to use of strong language in my reviews but JUST WHAT THE COMPLETE AND UTTER FUCK, KURUMADA.

En este tomo... ¡¡Fénix, el guerrero que vino del infierno... (y se hace el guacho pistola pero se redime al cabo de unos tomos, aunque siempre queda en pose de ave solitaria que con el cantar se consuela)!! Pero además de personajes atormentados, violencia innecesaria, grupis-carnedecañón y muertes evitables, este tomo presenta a Mu, el caballero de oro más copado de toda su camada (o al menos el único que no recurre a la violencia siempre ni mata a nadie sĺo para darle una lección).
