Highschoolers are born as reincarnations of warriors during the time of the three kingdoms possessing inhuman powers. Most of the fighters that are the most powerful are reborn as hot highschoolers such as Sonsaku Hakufu the main character of the franchise.
In this sequel, the focus is more on her new apprentice Bachou Mouki who has incredible talent capable even challenging some B level fighters and gets accepted by Seito.
During her training a TOURNAMENT gets announced which turns out to be a trap by someone named Kentei. What is his plan and objective? That is the mystery of the story and the fighters being drawn to fight their own fate.
It is a very entertaining show with lots of panties shot and girls kicking all kinds of ass. Hakufu is shown to be more capable to use her powers at…

Ikkitousen XX felt a bit like a return to form after the last season's diversion. That could be a good or bad thing depending on how you felt about the second season, personally I like when the show leans more into the grounded slice of life stuff and doesn't rely too much on the poorly defined dragon magic and historical battles as a narrative device. I like the inclusion of the new tomboy character, adding a fresh face can sometimes liven up a stagnant story. Every other character seems to be pretty much unchanged from previous seasons, with perhaps the exception of Hakufu briefly taking on a mentor role. Honestly the training montage where she keeps getting famous quotes wrong is one of the highlights of the show.
The whole misadventure of the fake tournament that leads everyone to tha…

First things first. My "reviews" system is explained on a blog entry. Which can be found through my profile.
------
Somewhat review for the whole franchise. By somewhat I mean a minimally, as I watched previous seasons many years ago.
✦Story
The whole story I'll sum up in a following way. Story is basically about martial artists who use power of historical and legendarry warriors. That's all you need. There is plenty of character development and depth to a story whilst staying now and then simple as fodder for fights. Story I didn't mind for the most times, it was fun to know about various powers and cause of their fights. Probably story presentation wise only complaint I have and a big complaint as it's something I despise in general, are they rapey themes.
✦Art&Sound
Music and OST is…

So, I respect fanservice. Ikkitousen has a lot of fanservice. But oh my god, it is absolutely not worth it.
This season, and most of the series, is a nightmare. The art is about the only competent feature. The plot is also so poor. In the end, you find yourself wondering what the point of all their bullshit is, other than simply being compelled via destiny. That is not a plot you grow attached to. The characters are not diverse at all and their names are completely bland and hard to memorize. There are scenes where two characters refer to the same person, by completely different names within the same 10 seconds. This absolutely boiled my blood. This mixture of characters that are difficult to distinguish and a uninspiring plot crushes the story and leaves you caring for nothing. I'm sorry…

What can I say about this season that I didn't say about the others, except for the fact that I am glad that I am done with this series. I wonder how a show this bad got 4 seasons when other clearly better one did not. Once again the "fate" plot is back again with a vengeance, people are trying to avoid their fates, kan'u still has a thing for ruby, and Hakufu is still stupid. Pretty much, everything you've seen so far from the other season will be in this one, with the exception of a new character.
One thing I should mention is that trying to find the first episode online on anime sites will lead to episode 5 instead, I don't know why or how, but just keep in mind: episode 1= episode 5.

#1..I STRONGLY suggest that if you haven`t seen any of the other Ikkitousen titles,that you put Xtreme Xecutor on hold an watch the first Ikkitousen..many flashback are used through out the series,and you can find yourself lost as to what is going on if you haven`t seen any of the other titles first....but if you are looking for a series where the main characters are beautiful yet dangerously powerful women*!THIS IS THE SERIES YOU`VE BEEN WAITING FOR*!

Before reading please note that this is the latest season as of 2010, if you did not watch the previous seasons I highly suggest that you do so.
Right off the bat flashbacks. So if you did choose to watch this season first you will be slightly confused since there are a lot of flashbacks and references to past events. While it may be possible to just watch this series and enjoy it because of all the fan service, that alone does not make this story line good. From beginning to end, watching each characters progression through a life that they are forced to live in because to the magatama that has been passed down to them. Now that is where the story is. Each persons magatama represents a famous person from a war that happened long ago. While that does have a very big influence on how each…
