 * 1) The founder of Akatsuki is Bakuga Tsukikage (月影 獏牙). He's the current Prime Minister of Japan and his goal is to ruin the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival.
 * 2) Ikki met Edelweiss while he was chasing Nagi who kidnapped Shizuku.
 * 3) Edelweiss is a very kind person in contrast to her reputation of the "worst criminal ever", so the reason why she became a criminal is unknown.

(Japanese Wikipedia)

Ikki's tournament opponent:
 * 1st round: He was up against the previous champion
 * 2nd round: He was up against the previous runner-up, though he won easily
 * 3rd round: He was up against Sara, who is C-rank normally but becomes A-rank when she uses her greatest ability
 * Semi-final: He was up against Amane, who is A-rank and super lucky
 * Final: He's going up against Stella

(Spoiler from AP24)


 * 1) Stella's power is revealed to be Dragon related instead of fire related as initially though.
 * 2) Ikki defeats Amane easily (not sure how).
 * 3) Ikki's heart stop beating after the match.
 * 4) Ikki wakes up 1 week(?) later but the tournament should've ended by that time, but didn't because of the support Ikki has gained so the finals was postponed.
