The first time I ever watched Ikkitousen was a very long time ago.
Probably around 5 years or so.
So I was excited to revisit this anime now that I’ve been moving back into the ecchi space which I had left for a while. Plus I’ve been on such a spree with anime rewatches lately that this felt like a great anime to go back and watch!
And with that… how was Ikkitousen Season 1?
Here we are, the final episode of Ikkitousen S1.
I’ll still write a review for the season as well, but after this I’ll be moving my Ikkitousen posts to EcchiHunter because it’d fit better over there.
And with that let’s get the final synopsis for S1 going!
Last episode, Hakufu and Ryomou had gone to visit Totaku as he had infected Hakufu’s body with some sort of energy / poison that only he can remove. He asked Hakufu to take down Ryofu for him.
Also, Saji knocked Koukin out when he was looking for Gakushu. With both Koukin and Gakushu captive, we found out that Saji has been the one issuing orders as Enjytsu, who we know is dead.
What could possibly happen next?
When we last left off in Ikkitousen, Hakufu had visited the pool with Koukin. There she encountered Totaku, who gave her some watermelon, before leaving. Ukitsu, the one destined to kill Hakufu, then arrived and confronted Hakufu.
It’s a hot summer day, and Hakufu doesn’t feel like doing anything.
That is, until her mom gives her two tickets to the pool!
And so Koukin and Hakufu embark on a pool adventure.
The Big Fighters Tournament is over, although the end result was not exactly conclusive. There’s definitely some action to come on that front, with Kyosho being jipped out of an opportunity to challenge Totaku. But not this episode!

Well, the anime has wasted no time in progressing the Big Fighters Tournament!
The tournament may be at an end, things are only going to get more heated from here!

I’ve decided to look into the Chinese names for the various characters to better make sense of who these anime characters are supposed to represent.
Also this is because I caved recently and purchased Total War: Three Kingdoms, so now I actually know who is who and how the whole situation in China looked at the time, at least as well as the game depicts it. My first playthrough was as Sun Jian, naturally, because I wanted to play for the “good guys” from the anime. Nanyo Academy is a depiction of the Wu Empire, led by Sun Ce, the Little Conqueror (Hakufu).
Anyways, this has created a sort of link between the TW:TK game and Ikkitousen for me, which has ended up being pretty neat.

The anime wasted no time in getting right to it with the first round of the Big Fighters Tournament, which we only just heard about last episode.

Where we left off, Taishiji had just been stabbed by his leader from Youshu High for disobeying orders and letting Hakufu live, after defeating her in a fight. Things are starting to really heat up around Hakufu..
