Ikki "sacrificed" himself to kill Aegaeon, they were both taken out at the same time, i don't see how that negates power consistency any more than any other Saint Seiya incarnation. Obviously the Legendary Saints are stronger than Genbu was, the other way around wouldn't make sense. Genbu didn't have years of actual fighting experience under his belt, he just came back to make up for Shiryu being out of comission.

Also, it's freaking Ikki. He always gets the job done one way or the other.
Bottom line, that's overreacting. Come back when Haruto defeats a 1st class.

Don't forget Europa, he's clearly a major player here.

Spoiler:

He seems to be planning something with the remains of Aegaeon's sword and is obviously following his own agenda.
I think this double K.O was a way to keep out a powerhouse like Ikki, but shonen logic dictates that the first one to go down is always the easier fight, so we'll see.
