Ikki Tousen in Kyoto (2011 TV Movie)
8/10
Ikki Tousen: Shugaku Toshi Keppu Roku
23 December 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This forty five minute OVA sees the fighters from various Kanto schools heading to Kyoto to replenish their spiritual energy… before they even leave the station fights break out between the rival schools and then with fighters from Kyoto… protagonist Hakufu Sonsaku misses the fun though as she was in the lavatory! As the story progresses the protagonists get into more fights; with each other and local fighters before returning to Tokyo.

This OVA, bundled with the Xtreme Xecutor series DVD, doesn't have that much of a plot; it was rather fun though. The fights aren't as extreme as there is less sense of danger; there are plenty of laughs though… mostly at the expense of the ditzy Hakafu. Given the fact that this is on OVA one might expect even more fan service than usual but in reality it is quite tame compared to Xtreme Xecutor. Overall this is a fun bonus episode that fans of the series should enjoy.
