Both are the top five, which one is stronger, Seiya or Ikki in "Saint Seiya"?

For those who have watched the cartoon "Saint Seiya", it is estimated that at least 80% of them believe that Phoenix's Ikki is far more powerful than the first protagonist Pegasus' Seiya. superior.

I remember the first fight between Seiya and Ikki. At that time, Ikki came on the stage powerfully. He defeated Shilong, Hyoga, Shun and others in seconds, and then the strongest Seiya came out every time. After falling down, he would always stand up. In the end, relying on cheating, he assembled Shilong's Sky Dragon Shield, Shun's Nebula Chain, and Hyoga's Diamond Stardust, and finally shattered Ikki's Phoenix Saint Cloth, and achieved the nominal victory. Victory...

According to folklore: After watching "Saint Seiya", many people learned from Seiya the spirit of hard work, never giving up, and never giving up...

But... could it be said that our demon boy brothers are the only ones in the world who have seen in Seiya that Seiya is always cheating and wins? Although in the "Saint Seiya Omega" version, every time I see Seiya appear, I hope in my heart that Seiya can have more roles and be able to cheat to the end...

I feel Ikki's strength Stronger. Looking at the entire story of "Saint Seiya", we can clearly find that the Silver Saint is simply a joke among Saints. Even the strongest Shirogane can't beat Ikki, let alone those rookie Shirogane. In front of Ikki, most of the Shirogane are useless.

We know from the story setting of "Saint Seiya" that Death Queen Island, where Ikki trained, was the most cruel training place in the past. Death Queen Island not only has a harsh environment, but is also the sphere of influence of the Dark Saints. Most people who go to the island will definitely have a narrow escape from death. It can be seen from here that Ikki's master is still very protective. For so many years, the Dark Saints have not dared to trouble them, which shows that Ikki's master is still very proud. Under cruel conditions, Ikki will be superior to other saints both physically and mentally.

Let’s take a look at Ikki’s Saint Cloth. Ikki’s Phoenix Saint Cloth is known as the strongest Saint Cloth. It can repair itself without asking for help at critical moments! In the Dark Saint chapter, the four heroes worked together to defeat Ikki. When Ikki and Seiya were duel, his right hand was basically disabled (injured by Hyoga's freezing air.) In addition, With the help of other Xiaoqiang, Seiya barely managed to win. If he had to fight hard, Seiya would have no chance. In the Zodiac Chapter, Ikki is the only Xiaoqiang who can challenge Shaka in a duel. During the decisive battle with Saka, Seiya would have died if Ikki hadn't joined the battle.

Let’s talk about Seiya again. Seiya’s training place is the most formal and is the base camp of the Saints - the Sanctuary. Although the training process is still very difficult, it is nothing compared to Ikki. To get the Holy Cloth, Ikki needs to fight all the Dark Saints alone. To get the Holy Cloth, Seiya only needs to defeat Cassios. The efficiency of this monster spawning is much lower than that of Ikki. Throughout the entire story, Ikki is completely on his own, while Seiya has been living under the halo of the protagonist. If Seiya removes Xiaoqiang's "invulnerable" attribute, even Zilong will probably be able to defeat him.

I think this question is easy to answer. In terms of hard power, Ikki must be stronger than Seiya. In terms of the protagonist’s halo, Seiya is invincible. After all, Athena protects him more. .
