![]() ![]() If he was going to win, he would have to put everything into one hit. He arrived at the arena just in time but was worn out from days of abuse and questioning. If he won, his father’s company would step out of his way permanently and if he lost, he would give up on becoming a Mage-Knight. Ikki had to run to his final fight which was also against Touka Toudou. This comes directly off the back of my least favourite moment, which I’ll get to next. To contrast that fight, I’m actually going to throw in another favourite moment. Then, just when it looked like Shizuku was going to win, Touka struck and it was epic. The action was exquisite and it just seemed to get bigger and better as it went on, which was pretty much the entire episode. One of my favourites was the fight between Ikki’s little sister, Shizuku and the student president, Touka Toudou. As such there were several to choose from. They managed to pull on a variety of animation styles and artwork to really capture the emotion and dynamism of the action. The fights in Chivalry of a Failed Knight were excellent. The political elements really added an edge to things and while they could have been a little more prominent, they were always there, often in very subtle ways. On top of that, I loved the way that Ikki had to prove himself to everyone despite being so powerful and skilled. ![]() There were moments, most notably when they had an argument when both were feeling the same thing but assumed the other felt differently, which completely resonated with my teenage years and I’m sure many others would feel the same. The romance between Stella and Ikki was possibly the most realistic one I’ve seen in all of the anime I’ve watched. On the whole, I really enjoyed this series. She also recommended that Stella learn everything she could from him as he is unlike any F-ranked Blazer she’s ever encountered. It was wildly political, but things had changed this year and Ikki finally had a chance to take part. ![]() How he was an F-ranked Blazer and had been blocked from attending classes and competing in competitions by his family. The principal who had refereed the duel quickly brought Stella up to speed with Ikki’s situation. Stella couldn’t believe it, but she raised the stakes and paid the price. Things heated up, quite literally as Stella unleashed her full fire magic, but that was what Ikki was waiting for. In fact, he seemed to be able to read her skills and abilities, nullifying them with his own seconds later. However, things changed quickly in the fight as Ikki showed more determination and skill than anyone would expect of an F-ranked Blazer. Stella was fairly confident given her A-ranking and Ikki’s F-ranking. They would duel and the loser would become the servant of the other for life. However, not long after arriving, a boy walked into her room while she was undressing and in an attempt to ease her discomfort, took his clothes off too… Sadly, that did not help the situation and while it wasn’t looking good for Ikki, Stella decided to make him an offer, since it was all an unfortunate accident. Stella Vermillion, a Princess, arrived at the Hugan Academy to train to become a Mage-Knight. So, let’s dive in and see what I thought! Expect spoilers… I hadn’t seen it before and knew absolutely nothing about it going in other than the aforementioned pretty girls with swords. We all know that I’m a sucker for swords, pretty girls, and pretty girls with swords… So, it seemed perfectly natural that I would want to watch Chivalry of a Failed Knight. ![]() He finally gets a chance to prove them all wrong, but it’s not going to be easy! Chivalry of a Failed Knight (Season One) What did you watch? Ikki has the lowest magical rating in the school’s history and the organisation controlled by his family is determined to see that he fails. ![]()
