I am glad that I am reborn to master the blade once again; Episode final ;)
The journey of our cute king will meet it end and we won't be able to see her for a while after this last episode of the first season. It put her might against the Prismer; one of the strongest magicite beast. Before going after it, our heroine needs to pick her first opponent; either with the masked man or the Arclord Ivel. Inglis herself feels torn with the choices. Sure she would love to fight the Prismer. Yet, in front of her another man with similar strengths is standing and by the looks of it, she still has to subdue both of the man and the Arclord. Alas, Ivel asks Inglis to let him defeat the masked man himself as he also makes a false ceremony to get rid of the SteelBlood Front. Unbeknownst to him, his over-confident will cost him dearly as the masked man's spear is not an ordinary weapon but a Hieral menace incarnate capable of bending time and space. Just after the spear passed through Ivel's barrier and makes a part of his body disappears, the SteelBlood leader makes a flash work on Ivel by making his body disappeared one by one till nothing remain.
On the academia's ground, the students has to deal with the Prismer and some of the students(including Silva) get hurt and turn unconscious. Miriela asks Yua to work as a decoy while Leon charging for his thunder gauntlet. After unleashing the thunder, Yua makes the initiative to land a punch. Unfortunately, not only that Yua's punch doesn't give enough effect to the Prismer, it also absorb Yua's body inside the Prismer slowly. In order to protect her from being completely shallowed, Miriela casts a magical barrier surrounding Yua; making sure that she will regains her form should she gets devoured completely.
Back to the Steelblood airship, Rani asks Inglis to get to the academia as soon as possible but it seems that Inglis prefer to stay above; fighting for the masked man instead. Well, the man declines her challenge and tells her to fight the Prismer instead as it just gets stronger and soon enough will reach it's perfect form. In the dimensional palace that Leone builts, Lady Ripple regains her consciousness and Silva tells her that her last summoned magicite beasts is a Prismer. The students also inform her that Miriela and Leon stands on their ground as the last remaining defense from the academia to protect the Citizens. Seeing that the monster already broke Leon's gauntlet, Lady Ripple asks Leone to stop the dimensional casting and let her deal with her last remaining relative who turns into magicite beast; the Prismer.
Finally, Leone put down the barrier and let them back to the academia ground; in which no longer had their old academia building due to the environmental damage caused by the Prismer's blasting. Lady Ripple instantly challenges the monster alone but after giving a seemingly non destructive blows, a single slap from the monster send her body crashing to the tree. Leon and Silva get closer to Ripple and the later asks her to change her form back into a legendary weapon so that he can fight the monster together with her. She doesn't want someone as young as Silva to use a Hieral Menace yet..Silva persistency somehow creates miracle as his will alone manage to make Ripple turn into her Hieral form; a hunting riffle. Leon and Miriela try to convince Silva from pulling the trigger but the man gets too absorbed to the riffle tremendous power at hand.
Suddenly Inglis just comes down from the sky; giving an elbow to Silva's guts and makes the man unconscious once more. Ripple turns back into her human form and tells Inglis about situation at hand. The God king once again creates miracle because at this point she can move faster than light, reflecting every single spreading fire beams from the Prismer. Although a single kick to the moon can't make the beast stay above in the sky for long, the helping combination attack from the other main heroines give her enough time to think of a strategy and make the monster lose concentration. Finally, she kicks the Prismer once again to the sky and dish out another charged Aether strike. Ot one point, it seems as if she ready to sacrifice even Yua but when it gets enough damage, she jumps high closer to the Prismer and follows up the Aether strike with even stronger charged mana strike called Aether Breaker. The abomination split into a half and a blinding light spreads across the nation. After the students regains their vision back, they witness the God King reincarnate; Inglis, stands up in the Air gear with Rani along while holding the unconscious Yua in her hand. Once again, Inglis is hailed as a hero; who prevents the catastrophic disaster, save every students of knight academia, and put the Prismer to it's demise.
The last part of the anime tells us how Inglis has been given another chance to the path of heroism. The king; who feels grateful to Inglis' bravery and her capabilities to solve difficult matter with her tremendous strengths, gives her a promotion as the King's Commander of Royal Guards. (well let's be honest she is technically the highest battle point player in your usual MMORPG 😂). True to her path choosing however, she declines the offer and wants to stay as Rani's squire; making Rani herself shocked with her decision. All seems good now. The girls continue their study, the cafeteria has been rebuilding (The only thing Inglis and Rani got in their mind 🤣), and the peace come back to the country. Even if it may happen only for a while ;).
Final Verdict
She has one scary confident smile ;) thankfully she is the Just and Benelovence God King..I mean Queen |
The reborn to master the blade is a shonen anime full with fan service, kind of repetitive jokes but somehow it retains it own charm. The story doesn't need a lot of thinking to be enjoyed and it still has it own plot twist for example, the part when the lady who makes Cyrene's tea turns out to be Steelblood agents. The cast itself is abundant and while they're imbalance in term of individual development, the four main heroines still had adequate spotlight to them. The main heroines herself is an absolute beauty and peerless; exaggerated to the part that nothing can stand in her way even if an alien or a predator makes a sudden appearance, they will get kicked to the moon. It retains a good and enjoyable viewing without needing a romance as an essence of the plot. True to the title, Inglis enjoys fighting and doesn't stray from the path of her choosing; leaving unnecessary romantic sub plot out from the window. It's fun, enjoyable, has quite few cute scenes, only get a minuses by some overused routine jokes (boob jokes etc).
Pros
+ cute designed heroines
+ plot is easy to follow yet there is plot twist in this anime
+ strong and capable main lead
cons
- over used jokes..got a bit repetitive later on
- since the main character is too powerful that she is barely explored/ gained more background story..
If I got to rate, I will give it an 8 but I hope that in the next season, they will make a better plot twist and give us the identity of the eternally mysterious masked man 😂.
