Ikki first appeared in Masami Kurumada's Saint Seiya manga and anime from the 1980s as the Phoenix Bronze Saint, famous for his solitary nature and resurrection themes linked to the phoenix. In Brazil the series is known as Os Cavaleiros do Zodiaco and built a lasting fanbase. This recording comes from Saint Seiya Soldiers' Soul, the 2015 fighting game, using the Brazilian Portuguese version of his Ave Fenix attack. Fans still share the shout online as a nostalgic cue for dramatic anime power-ups and underdog victories.
