Episode 11.

"Life and death struggle! Terror of the Black Death fist"

The Bronze Saints are transported to the mountains in Central Asia where Ikki and his Dark Saints are to confront them. As they separate, Shun gives each of them a bell to wear as identification. Seiya then thinks he sees Shiryu, with the Pegasus Cloth on his back. As Seiya runs forward happily, Shiryu's form dissolves into a dragon and disappears. The Pegasus Cloth
leaps forth and encases its wearer. Seiya realizes the box is leaving, seemingly under its own power, and strikes, and an invisible Kiki becomes visible. He tells Seiya that Mu told Shiryu that it takes a Saint's blood to heal a Saint's Cloth. Remembering that Seiya saved his life, Shiryu cuts both his wrists and allows the blood to pour over the armor. Kiki is upset, but Mu restrains him. Shiryu slowly turns white as his blood pours forth, and Mu grabs him before he can fall. Mu then seals the cuts in Shiryu's wrists, while thinking that Shiryu has more than enough courage for a Saint. Mu tells Kiki to take the Pegasus Cloth to Seiya while he takes
care of Shiryu and the Dragon Cloth. Seiya is understandably upset; he's barely gotten to know this good friend. It is a high price to pay for the repair of the Cloth... and now he must make sure that Dragon's sacrifice is not in vain. Seiya gives the bell meant for Shiryu to Kiki, and leaves... to encounter Black Pegasus. He wins, but not before his doppleganger has delivered several blows of the "Black Pegasus Meteor Fist". Seiya picks up the three pieces of the Gold Cloth that are now 'his', and continues. He shortly finds himself thirsty, with a burning fever.
Pulling off his armor, he is horrified to see growing patches of black where Black Pegasus struck him. He falls off the ledge, knocking the pieces of Gold Cloth with him. Meanwhile, Hyoga. faces his counterpart and defeats him, enduring Black Cygnus's most powerful blasts as if they were the mildest summer breeze. Then Hyoga goes Ikki-hunting. He walks right past the area where Seiya has fallen, and never notices. He takes Ikki on all by himself, and the battle begins as the episode ends.
