Synopsis

The stage is set and stakes run high as Ikki prepares to face the unbeatable Raikiri. In the end, who will be the victor?

Summary

Inside his cell, Ikki starts to question the worth of his strength after meeting his father. Meanwhile, Touka is seen talking with the director of the orphanage she was staying at before Shizuku arrives at her room under Touka's request to discuss on Ikki's issue. Back inside her own room, Shizuku talks about her discussion with Touka to Alice, worrying about whether she should ask Ikki to forfeit his match or not. Inside her own room, Touka also questions Utakata on whether or not she can accept the duel with pride because of the scenario behind it before deciding to do her best. Outside the school building, Stella is seen training. Ikki is still seen struggling. Then, the final day of the selection match begins with a large crowd and is broadcasted live on TV as a condition from the federation in order to let Ikki fight in the school. There will be 6 matches to determine the 6 representatives of the school for the seven star battle festival. But the most awaited fight is Ikki vs Touka Todo.

Ikki is shown desperately trying to get to the school, because Akaza ditched him. While he is walking, he is fading in and out of consciousness, thinking about the words his grandfather told him. Shizuku brings him out of it, and shows him the school that is cheering for him. Ikki's spirit is raised and he walks to the field. Meanwhile, Nene's master shows up to watch the fight. Ikki and Touka are introduced, and they both tell each other how much respect they have for each other and other complementary and resolutions. Ikki immediately uses his sword technique, followed by Touka immediately using hers. (Touka decided she'd fight him head on, instead of taking the cowards way and just outlasting him.) Just before they landed their blows however, Ikki used an even greater technique, causing blood to burst from his body. When the dust settles, Touka collapses, and Ikki is pronounced the victor.

Outside, we see Kuraudo listening to the announcement, smile and then walk away.

Akaza is outraged, and leaves to take care of him himself, while Nene, her master, and Kurono talk about what his power makes him. Ikki is desperately keeping himself from collapsing so he can tell Stella something. As Akaza makes his way on to the field to finish Ikki off, Stella knocks him aside, and keeps Ikki from fainting. Ikki then proposes to her on live television, which she gladly accepts.

Back at the Kurogane household, Itsuki talks with the Vermillion Emperor about keeping their children out of the corrupt adult affairs.

At the academy, 6 students are shown to have been picked to be representatives. This includes Alice, Stella, Kanata, Ikki, and the Hagure sisters. Ikki is then appointed leader of the representatives by Touka.
