Summary
Phoenix Ikki (鳳凰星座の一輝, Fenikkusu no Ikki; Literally meaning "Gleam") is the Bronze Saint of Phoenix. Although he was introduced later than the other four main Bronze Saints, Ikki's role in the story is quite significant.

Weaknesses: The Phoenix is willing to die peacefully if his opponents could change their form to Esmeralda, Ikki's deceased lover.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Hōyoku Tenshō
- Hōyoku Tenshō (鳳翼天翔, Soaring Phoenix Wings): Ikki concentrates his Cosmos, the aura that surrounds his assuming the shape of a fiery phoenix. Then, he pushes his palms forwards, producing a tremendous whirlwind and releasing his cosmos as a burning wave that engulfs his opponent.
- Hōō Genmaken (鳳凰幻魔拳, Phoenix Illusion Demonic Fist): A mental attack. Ikki focuses his Cosmos and pierces the opponent's mind with a swift punch. While the external pain is insignificant, comparable to a mosquito's bite, the internal pain is unbearable. Ikki's opponent is trapped in hellish illusions, where he is exposed to his deepest fears and constant torturous death. At a minimum, the attack will leave its victim dazed and incapable of reacting; at worst, it will literally destroy their minds.
