Stella standing up for Ikki was probably one of the best moments between true friends and lovers in general. Being an A-Rank Blazer, she understands how hard Ikki worked to get where he is now. He was born with no talent and yet is proving to be so much more than what people think of him, The Worst One. Stella understands this very fact and has decided to tell him how much it hurt her to see him almost giving up. Stella deserves the 'Best Female Protagonist' Award.
@@GreenGuy6969 I mean he was always talented as all heck, the only thing bad about him was having a very limited ability at a really low output level. Which is fixable but that's not a question of talent.
@@natchu96 It's just that to them, their abilities are everything. So, it's natural abilities equal talent to them. Being smart and skilled fighter are irrelevant to them.
The cry of desperation from 7:30 on from kirihara gave me chills. I could FEEL his desperation and terror of realizing he had been outplayed and going from predator to prey. THIS is how you do a fight. I like dub for many things but sub voice actors shine in so many moments like these. This scene is truly superior in sub.
Don't. You'll get stormed for that. There are some people that can't accept the fact that generally Anime is done by it's native language and factors such as time lenght is very important for storing sentences and that's hard to express with the same quality on another language.
Matsuoka is really great, it’s just too bad that he keeps getting boring MC roles that have boring lines and personalities so he doesn’t always get the opportunity to show his skill to the full potential like he does here.
Kirihara: being an a-hole and a big head scmbag and a pssy Kirihara when Ikki saw him: literally running like a bitch and hiding like a pssy while crying because of the fear of being cut
Hearing thr panic in Kiriharas voice always bringsa tear to my eye. Pretty much 2 seconds ago he was laughing maniacally now he's crying for his life. Honestly this is my favorite 0 to Hero anime of all time.
What is so amazing about his panic: Ikki hasn't done anything yet. He just blocked two shots. And yet Kirihara is absolutely terrified. Not only because his little hiding game stopped working, but because he is legit terrified about even the prospect of having to fight someone 1on1. If I recall correctly, they even mentioned beforehand that if he would have to fight "someone like Stella" he would have resigned immediately. That's how much of a coward he is
at LEAGUE OF LEGENDS: When you dodge an enemy skillshot ( Enemy team: he's scripting,yup scripts, report this guy for scripting! (TYPICAL BRONZE PLAYERS)
I love how they portray Stella's feelings for Ikki here. She's not just another "main girl" who loves the MC just because he's a badass and said a few nice words to her. She respects and admires him because she sees a kindred spirit, a person trying to prove that they are more than what the world sees them as: Ikki as the talentless "Worst One" with barely any magic ability and Stella as the royal princess who was born with her great strength and power. They both know how much the other truly worked to become better and that's why they click so well. Honestly it's probably one of my favorite pairings ever, which is surprising coming from what many consider to be a generic, clichè anime. Btw, Stella's outcry was 10/10.
Hell yea dude, the ecchi in this was hella good as well. Not just some random garbage, but had actual feelings and care in it. For sure one of my fav pairs. I also liked the 2 in No game no life zero
He's also one of the few people she knows that she can unleash her full strength on with full confidence that he could probably survive it. Even though she very literally can reduce an entire town to lava in a single attack.
I think my favorite part from this scene is where they acknowledge how terrible Ikki must be. In the beginning of this match, he’s relying solely on instinct, his vision, and a plan he came up with hours before the match. He’s not doing any real immediate thinking that he hasn’t already pondered over. When Stella realizes how blind she’s been, he’s really eye opening for the viewer too. There’s not a single universe in where he isn’t straight up terrified. He’s worked so hard to even just get this chance, and he still hid his fears so well. I honestly didn’t even think of his feelings in this way. So, thanks Alice!

+Ikki Kurogane will, Kirihara's VA to be Kirito's VA and is known to voice harem kings. he would be easily hated, but Kirihara gave me that "I WISH I COULD PUNCH" him feeling, especially because he used the public to make ikki look like a fucking wimp, or in the past when he tried to make ikki bring out his sword for battle (which is against the rules outside the said battlegrounds, as you would need permission)
+CrimsonKiru ,f*ck you kirihara-san!!! that was totally a lie when the girl back on episode 3 said that you are cool!! 'the heck your not!like what stella-san said...( how dare you to *insult or what...* my favorite knight.
6 years later, and whenever I just wanna find a clean af animated scene that gives me chill. I come back to this 6 whole years and these kinda scenes are still ridiculously hard to come by
Martin hill but isn't "with my weakest I will defeat your strongest" line makes him sounds more badass than the anime line? Meaning he is much much stronger than that 🤔
too bad this was the only humiliation this bastard had, in the manga and light novel after the fight his former fangirls comment that he not only cried like a little girl but also PEED himself XD
Stellas VA did a phenomenal job on this scene. I replayed the scene of her screaming a few times the first time I saw it due to the sheer amount of emotion in it
No matter how much I come back, I'm blown away by the soundtrack and the fact that this is adapted from a fekin *LN* and not a manga, not that there's any problem with that (and acknowledging the fact that it's apparently one of the top-selling LN in Japan at the moment).
I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING! No seriously, I got a little choked up during that emotional screaming. I felt a lump in my throat and got chills. One of the few times that's happened watching anime.
as much as i hate Yoshitsu being the VA for basically EVERY fucking male character, he's such a good voice actor, really puts in the feelings to every character
"Thats a blade with a sharp edge. it could kill me, i could die...." "okay. i can lose. i'll admit to losing!, i dont like pain...." .............lmao =_=
actually to be fair in the original material Kirihara explicitly doesn't aim for vitals, and i think it's natural that an archer wouldn't want to get hurt lol
doesn't really matter what Fate has. Kirihara is strictly an archer, and more importantly a teenager who fights in a way that keeps him from getting hurt. It's only natural he doesn't want to feel pain especially with a sword of all things.
You know you're a badass when you're lowest ranked in the school and you defeat much stronger opponent without even landing a single blow, just by making him pass out from fear. Ikki basically made his opponent pee his pants.
I love how a someone has just been shot multiple times to where they're just bleeding to death on the floor, and everyone just laughs, it's almost like real life.
This anime did teached me about the existence of people who could only laugh when someone is trying their hardest Definitely one of the best anime that I've ever watched
“HES CHEATING!!!” Says the guy who can turn himself and his arrows invisible. Not to mention that his arrows are only perceptible AFTER they’ve hit their target. Yeah.....ikki is tootally cheating 🤣
This fight was so good I never realized until now, how weird it is that even after an outcry like this people were STILL suprised when it became known that Ikki and Stella dated...
This reminds me why I love this anime; because the author always makes up the acceptable reasons for any character's actions. In other anime, MC will just stand there and watch villains unleashing their special moves for no fucking reason but, here, it's properly explained why Ikki couldn't move (and it makes sense). Also, I love how Stella confessed to Ikki in his first official battle and then Ikki proposed to her in his final battle. Author really thought this out quite well.
@@rahfrmnyc nooooo! Dont do it! Just read util Stella vs Ikky in yhe Seven stars tournament and Ikki vs #4(i don't remember her name) after this last battle everything becomes senseless
I dont understand why they didnt continue the anime, the animation was perfect, the story really well written, the characters likeable, i fell in love with this anime the first time i saw it, praying it gets a season 2 some day
Asterisk War (the infinitely inferior version) was generic enough that the majority of the mainstream audience took the bait, and since Rakudai was the same concept, people shrugged it off thinking it was a cheap knockoff. That's why Assterisk War (yes, my typo is intentional to show my hate for it) has 3 seasons and Rakudai only has 1.
If Ikki remembered to attack immediately and didn’t hold back there would literally be disembowelment and/or severed limbs rolling on the floor in about 0.5 seconds. Worst One indeed. This cocky dude was lucky to even last that long.
I always love the feeling when the main boy character is starting to lose hope from fighting a strong enemy then someone close to him (maybe the one he love) suddenly gices him an adrenaline rush, then finally win against a strong enemy
Ikki must be same Rank as Stella if his freaking Dad did believed that he have hidden potential instead believes that he's a *LITERAL TRASH* Keeping him not to graduate to be a Magic Knight.
Дима Кварков by the time the selection was done they were speechless ...... kurogane ikki had start from way bottom that others cant comprehend only a few know his struggle to rise to top hes not by any means talented, gifted or anything hes straight up had the worst magic ranking which the school is biased about
Rather than the animation of the fights, I'm even more impressed by the voice acting in this anime, Stella was especially superb in this part, truly incredible
KaMo I don’t hate dubs overall. Several dubs I consider to have far surpassed the original Japanese voice acting. But I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THIS ANIME’S DUB FOR ABSOLUTELY BUTCHERING EVERY EMOTIONAL SCENE DUE TO THEIR LACK OF SHITS GIVEN TO ONE THE BEST ACTION ROMANCE ANIME EVER! Which is a slight shame, since some of the humor switch ups from the transition from Japanese to English are a lot more punctual and funny, but this episode in the dub is an actual sin against the greatest of humanity in comparison to this glorious masterpiece. Adolf Hitler may have started the most destructive war in history and committed the most infamous and extreme genocide in history, but at least he didn’t participate in the making of the Chivalry of a Failed Knight Episode 4 dub, so he gets a pass in my book. Oh, and Ikki’s Ittou Shura scream is awful due to them casting a monotone VA that was another of the reasons I curse that awful dub and refuse to finish it. I’ve watched the subbed version 10 times though.
"He's cheating!" If there's one thing I've learned in my years, is that cheating is only found in matches/games like this with set rules to make it seem 'fair' for all to participate. In a real fight for you're life, there are no rules except for the very basic one. Live or die. Weigh you're options, make you're choice, and fight like the day is you're last because you're opponent will surely do the same. In the end our decisions, our actions, boast one thing about us. How badly do you want to live? How hard will you fight to maintain you're presence in this world? What will you sacrifice to keep you're life? The game of Life is a simple one. Live or die. Make you're choice.
You do not need to criticize ikki like that because he is just an anime character in film.I know this world is unfair.However,if you choose independent life,your life will be better after you have just got rid of several challenges in this world.
@@thatidiotguy4489 not a soldier my friend. Just a well disciplined individual who's seen a thing or two. Never the less! Your comment has been well received with a thumbs up.
Amanta Kofa When you surpass you limits so hard you can literally see something that no one has right knowing the general location of from the emotions in the guy’s voice and the places you’ve been shot, and are literally siphoning all of your energy for 12 hours into one minute, then the virgin rock definitely loses to the chad scissors.
Here is an interesting thought. Ikk was able to calculate the timing, and point of impact from a panicked Kirihara who was firing in rapid succession with invisible projectiles. That is not predicting your enemy's movements that is reading the future.
Basically, he knows how he thinks and how he fights psychologically like figuring out a pattern or an algorithm of a human's mind that he could use to anticipate their next course of actions and how they would react at certain situations.
When Ikki said he missed a milimeter it means that he should have miss the slash and just to scare the dude, but it actually missed 1 milimeter and hit the guy's nose. Ikki is the kind of person who would not hurt even his enemy ... well ... unless you are trying to strip one of his harem girl then you might lost an arm or two xD
This anime was so generic for the time but everything they did to differentiate it slightly was great. Definitely big nostalgia for me when I was binging tons of anime back in 2015
First anime I seen were the protogonist really has a limit, and work his hard to improve himself despite this. Plus the girl sees him as a person with the same determination as her. Both are opposites. Yet they want to improve themselves beyond their limits.
Late reply, but not quite I think. Despite their backgrounds being opposites, they're much more alike in their spirits and the struggles they endured. One has so much power and talent, while the other had none of it. Yet they both worked so hard to be recognized as being their own individuals, and not because of how much talent or magical power they have.
Definitely agree this was top tier voice acting. Sub did this part much much better. That “he’s cheating!” Came from the soul. Could feel the desperation and panic in his voice
Sword skills alone without other powers in my own views, Ikki definitely top class even if we compare it to other animes. The dude cannot just copy a sword style but literally steal the identity of the enemy. This battle was lacking in description as it only stayed that he was able to grasp the personality of his enemy. The LN was more descriptive about it as the commentator stated that he can't see the hunter but he knows where he is because he was able to "steal" the Hunter's identity and make it as his own (that includes his thought process, emotions etc.) as he can't steal the Hunter's weapon style (because it's a bow and he's invisible).. Imagine if an all anime multiverse existed and this guy grasps Zorro's Sword style or even the characters at samurai shamploo or The MC of shinmai maou no testament.. one of the best Swordsman out there and he's not even getting the proper hype and recognition he deserves just because the anime lost to its carbon copy of asterisk war characters.. i guess people love harem in the past few yeads rather than a loyal dude who sees his own lover as a rival too .
The moment when Ikki made that trash talkin' douchebag of Kirihara cry like a scaredy little girl with his combination of Perfect Visión and Ittou Shura was very priceless. The other students not only got shocked with Ikki's Sword Techniques, but also might get scared of him.

In other anime, MC will just stand there and watch villains unleashing their special moves for no fucking reason but, here, it's properly explained why Ikki couldn't move (and it makes sense).
Also, I love how Stella confessed to Ikki in his first official battle and then Ikki proposed to her in his final battle. Author really thought this out quite well.
The light novel is even better
@@Closetorouter619 I definitely gonna read them soon. Everytime I hear about Rakudai they always sing the LN’s praises so I’m very excited to dive in!
@@rahfrmnyc nooooo! Dont do it! Just read util Stella vs Ikky in yhe Seven stars tournament and Ikki vs #4(i don't remember her name) after this last battle everything becomes senseless
I dont understand why they didnt continue the anime, the animation was perfect, the story really well written, the characters likeable, i fell in love with this anime the first time i saw it, praying it gets a season 2 some day
Asterisk War (the infinitely inferior version) was generic enough that the majority of the mainstream audience took the bait, and since Rakudai was the same concept, people shrugged it off thinking it was a cheap knockoff. That's why Assterisk War (yes, my typo is intentional to show my hate for it) has 3 seasons and Rakudai only has 1.
@@TheIrrelevantYT Fucking asterisk back at it again ruining shit smh
@@TheIrrelevantYT Eh, I watched both, liked both. Both have their strong points, but it does definitely suck rakudai didn't get much attention
@@HTCaveman I'm glad you were able to like Asterisk War. Character development hardly went everywhere and I have a hard nitpick for stuff like that.
@@TheIrrelevantYT asterisk war has 2 seasons tho
Everyone praising Stella’s VA and rightfully so, but Matsuoka too knocked it out of the park with those laughs and screams.

If Ikki remembered to attack immediately and didn’t hold back there would literally be disembowelment and/or severed limbs rolling on the floor in about 0.5 seconds.
Worst One indeed. This cocky dude was lucky to even last that long.

Don't encourage the roleplayers.
I always love the feeling when the main boy character is starting to lose hope from fighting a strong enemy then someone close to him (maybe the one he love) suddenly gices him an adrenaline rush, then finally win against a strong enemy

松岡さんホンマ凄いわ…アドリブ最高
Accusing someone of cheating?
Really is a wimp
He was invisible himself such an asshole
That *SCUMBAG* learned his freaking lesson 😏
Satoshi AE Well, it really seemed, that this whole academy consisted of assholes when they started chanting Worst One.
Ikki must be same Rank as Stella if his freaking Dad did believed that he have hidden potential instead believes that he's a *LITERAL TRASH* Keeping him not to graduate to be a Magic Knight.
Дима Кварков by the time the selection was done they were speechless ...... kurogane ikki had start from way bottom that others cant comprehend only a few know his struggle to rise to top hes not by any means talented, gifted or anything hes straight up had the worst magic ranking which the school is biased about
6:21 That moment, that's the face of someone that knows that something has gone terribly wrong.
*And when it went wrong once, it's gonna get worse*
Rather than the animation of the fights, I'm even more impressed by the voice acting in this anime, Stella was especially superb in this part, truly incredible
I just love how this mc got from being bullied by the whole school to get adored and respected in the end. That is a good motherfreaking big step.
Ikki just knocked his opponent unconcious without hitting him even once, with emotional shock alone.
Talk about being a badass.
One of the many things I really liked about this anime was when Ikki screams "Ittou Shura"
KaMo
I don’t hate dubs overall. Several dubs I consider to have far surpassed the original Japanese voice acting. But I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THIS ANIME’S DUB FOR ABSOLUTELY BUTCHERING EVERY EMOTIONAL SCENE DUE TO THEIR LACK OF SHITS GIVEN TO ONE THE BEST ACTION ROMANCE ANIME EVER! Which is a slight shame, since some of the humor switch ups from the transition from Japanese to English are a lot more punctual and funny, but this episode in the dub is an actual sin against the greatest of humanity in comparison to this glorious masterpiece. Adolf Hitler may have started the most destructive war in history and committed the most infamous and extreme genocide in history, but at least he didn’t participate in the making of the Chivalry of a Failed Knight Episode 4 dub, so he gets a pass in my book. Oh, and Ikki’s Ittou Shura scream is awful due to them casting a monotone VA that was another of the reasons I curse that awful dub and refuse to finish it. I’ve watched the subbed version 10 times though.

"He's cheating!"
If there's one thing I've learned in my years, is that cheating is only found in matches/games like this with set rules to make it seem 'fair' for all to participate.
In a real fight for you're life, there are no rules except for the very basic one. Live or die.
Weigh you're options, make you're choice, and fight like the day is you're last because you're opponent will surely do the same.
In the end our decisions, our actions, boast one thing about us. How badly do you want to live? How hard will you fight to maintain you're presence in this world? What will you sacrifice to keep you're life?
The game of Life is a simple one. Live or die. Make you're choice.

You do not need to criticize ikki like that because he is just an anime character in film.I know this world is unfair.However,if you choose independent life,your life will be better after you have just got rid of several challenges in this world.

Hearing him cry makes my inner sadist come out.
Watching Kirihara pathetically beg for mercy like that after all the smack he was talking was just... *chef's kiss* DELICIOUS. >=3

When you pranked the wrong person.
For those who haven't read the LN yet, at the very end all the girls that followed Kirihara around left him too. Total Victory.
Link? is it after the anime ending?
Yeah they commented about him too, not only he cried like a little girl but peed himself in the public.
Let's play rock, paper, scissors!
Ikki: "Don't scissors always win?"
Amanta Kofa
When you surpass you limits so hard you can literally see something that no one has right knowing the general location of from the emotions in the guy’s voice and the places you’ve been shot, and are literally siphoning all of your energy for 12 hours into one minute, then the virgin rock definitely loses to the chad scissors.
Damn, I have rarely or maybe never seen more beautiful effects like in this battle! It was awesome!
How great Mr.Matsuoka's acting is !
What that was shock me
This is such a good show man, one of my favourites in the past. Sucks that they never continue it
Ikki before being scolded : ima go chill with this one
Ikki after being bitched by his girl : welp time to get serious and impress my girl
Announcer-Lets go ahead.
Ikkie- ITTO SHURAAA!!
Here is an interesting thought. Ikk was able to calculate the timing, and point of impact from a panicked Kirihara who was firing in rapid succession with invisible projectiles.
That is not predicting your enemy's movements that is reading the future.
Basically, he knows how he thinks and how he fights psychologically like figuring out a pattern or an algorithm of a human's mind that he could use to anticipate their next course of actions and how they would react at certain situations.
No game no life?😅
This reminds me of the skill eye of the mind from fate
Haki? It's kinda the same since he kinda analyzes the enemy's intent while haki is reading your enemy's intent or that's how I understand haki.
@@gnilbis7859 that's actually a great comparison holy shit

"I was off by one millimeter."
Damn.
What a professional.
Just seeing Stella yell at everyone made m'y entire day. Never. Underestimate. Ikki. NEVER. EVER.
Nobody:
Ikki: how bout I pull a Sherlock round about now
This is the equivalent of fighting a boss so many times that you just memorise their attack pattern
The battle scenes of this anime is simply terrific
ジャンケンで決めよう(シュバッ

When Ikki said he missed a milimeter it means that he should have miss the slash and just to scare the dude, but it actually missed 1 milimeter and hit the guy's nose. Ikki is the kind of person who would not hurt even his enemy ... well ... unless you are trying to strip one of his harem girl then you might lost an arm or two xD
"Harem girl"
That made no sense on a multitude set of levels.
Yeah, i think that he missed on purpose.
"He's cheating"
Brings bow and invisibility to a sword fight
"He's has to be cheating if i can't him. Cuz im that good"

"That's a blade with a sharp edge. It could kill me!"

8:05の[それ刃物刃物]好きwww
This anime was so generic for the time but everything they did to differentiate it slightly was great. Definitely big nostalgia for me when I was binging tons of anime back in 2015
松岡さんの小心者演技が迫真過ぎて草
First anime I seen were the protogonist really has a limit, and work his hard to improve himself despite this.
Plus the girl sees him as a person with the same determination as her.
Both are opposites. Yet they want to improve themselves beyond their limits.
Late reply, but not quite I think. Despite their backgrounds being opposites, they're much more alike in their spirits and the struggles they endured. One has so much power and talent, while the other had none of it. Yet they both worked so hard to be recognized as being their own individuals, and not because of how much talent or magical power they have.
When Kirito switch to archer class but forgot to bring his plot armor
😂
松岡くんが新しい芸に目覚めた瞬間🤣🤣🤣
didnt realise till now but he straight up yeets one of shizuyas arrows right back into him
You gotta give props to Kirihara's voice actor for those screams of terror
Definitely agree this was top tier voice acting. Sub did this part much much better. That “he’s cheating!” Came from the soul. Could feel the desperation and panic in his voice
Xiao vs bennett
Sword skills alone without other powers in my own views, Ikki definitely top class even if we compare it to other animes.
The dude cannot just copy a sword style but literally steal the identity of the enemy. This battle was lacking in description as it only stayed that he was able to grasp the personality of his enemy. The LN was more descriptive about it as the commentator stated that he can't see the hunter but he knows where he is because he was able to "steal" the Hunter's identity and make it as his own (that includes his thought process, emotions etc.) as he can't steal the Hunter's weapon style (because it's a bow and he's invisible)..
Imagine if an all anime multiverse existed and this guy grasps Zorro's Sword style or even the characters at samurai shamploo or The MC of shinmai maou no testament.. one of the best Swordsman out there and he's not even getting the proper hype and recognition he deserves just because the anime lost to its carbon copy of asterisk war characters.. i guess people love harem in the past few yeads rather than a loyal dude who sees his own lover as a rival too .
tldr: Ikki is cracked
ここまで撃ち抜かれて動けるってこいつ…
The moment when Ikki made that trash talkin' douchebag of Kirihara cry like a scaredy little girl with his combination of Perfect Visión and Ittou Shura was very priceless. The other students not only got shocked with Ikki's Sword Techniques, but also might get scared of him.
*Invisible guys be like:* ,,He's cheating!".
