ikki_tousenOnce again blood flows in the streets of Kanto. The eternal fate that has been handed down for over 1800 years is now being fought by ancient warriors who have been reincarnated into the students of the seven top schools.

One such student, Hakufu Sonsaku, arrives on the scene and is rumored to be the legendary Shou-Haou (The one who is said to be the one to defeat many in battle). But can this blonde air-head with the overly-endowed assets actually be the legendary Shou-Haou?

Volume 2

After her defeat by the honorable Taishigi, Hakufu takes it upon herself to fight even harder to reach the top. Even as the tournament's battles rage on, the head of each school plots to defeat the others by manipulating their pawns into battling each other. Will Hakufu become an unwitting tool, or will she be able to control the warrior spirit growing inside her?

She cheers on Hakufu's opponent Kakouton as well as arranges for a deep mountain trip to visit Chokou, the caretaker of a hot springs training ground. Even Ryomou and Ryofu learn a little more of themselves at this place. Training there is difficult, but what better way to relax afterwards than to visit the local pool?

Commentary

Let's see... We have ancient warriors reincarnated in the bodies of school children and fighting to dominate the school. The concept is a bit thin, but, I stuck with it anyway. Ikki Tousen revives that hated "9" symbol used in Blue Seed. It's mildly entertaining, but, not something that I feel an overwhelming need to have more of. There's violence, some blood, but, overall it's quite tame.

I have the first DVD olume.
