                    Several fight schools are in conflict with each other. Fights 
                    between the schools student are regular and bloody, as they 
                    compete to be the best. One girl, Hakufu, seems fated to reunite 
                    the schools as they had been in the past. Guided by special 
                    jewels, the lives and fates of the students seem to mirror 
                    the lives of the stones original owners, whose spirits lay 
                    trapped in the comma shaped beads but will their fate be the 
                    same... 
                  So 
                    we wade through the mire once again to get to the end of Ikki 
                    Tousen with Volume Four - Fighting Fates, you'll 
                    be grateful to discover that this is the last disc in the 
                    series and it couldn't have come too soon. Thankfully there 
                    are only three more episodes to go.  
                  Fight 
                    eleven and Hakufu has been hit in her vital spot and been 
                    put out of action, and no I'm not making this up. Mind you 
                    nothing wakes you up quicker than your mother screaming in 
                    your ear. It's a very talky episode, what fights there are, 
                    are now becoming somewhat repetitive. 
                   
                    Fight twelve and the penultimate episode still fails to inject 
                    any interest or drama, the show really is pants on so many 
                    levels, more boobs, more panties and veiled lesbian references. 
                     
                  Fight 
                    thirteen and the last episode finally limps home to a damp 
                    squib ending and I've lost the will to do a blow by blow account 
                    of what happens as its pretty much the same thing every show. 
                     
                  Ok, 
                    no one could accuse me of being a prude but one of the extras 
                    really should appear on a fetish DVD. The dubious photo shoot 
                    consists of little more than young ladies some dressed as 
                    schoolgirls high kicking and showing their panties. Ok so 
                    the show is a no-brainer aimed at teen boys obsessed with 
                    fights and panties, but this was a little beyond the pail. 
                    The other extras consist of outtakes, they really should have 
                    done the whole show like this, much funnier and it distracts 
                    from just how awful this show is; TV commercials, an art gallery 
                    and trailers. 
                   
                    Audio is stereo Japanese or English with subtitles and the 
                    visuals continue to be clear if a little crude in places. 
                     
                  So, 
                    the show comes to a crashing halt and all you can think off 
                    is who thought that this show was a good idea in the first 
                    place.
