Anime Motivation – Chivalry of a Failed Knight: Life lessons from Ikki Kurogane

Salutations everyone! So recently, I hopped on my hulu and saw some anime recommendations and one really caught my eye.

Now I’ve heard of the anime “Chivalry of a Failed Knight”, but I never really had a chance to watch it.

After completing the series, I’ve compiled a couple lessons learned below. Enjoy!

Anime Motivation – Inspire others through your actions

Although his father often disrespected him and told him that he could do nothing and was pretty much worthless, Ikki continued to persevere in his journey to become a blazer.

Even with having the worst rank in school due to his ability as a blazer, he still became one of the best swordsmen on campus.

Overtime, his technique was admired so much that he began to teach others which actually helped them to improve.

Through his hard work and constant determination, he ended up inspiring those who would watch him.

Sometimes while on the journey of greatness, there are various people who admire what we do and how we do it.

Oftentimes, these people are not known to us, but it’s still important to keep going because we never know who we are actually inspiring.

Anime Motivation – Never give Up & Push past your limits

Beyond that, it is important that we never give up on our true goals.

Many times throughout the series, members of Ikki’s own family would plot against him and pray on his downfall.

No matter how hard it got, he continued to push through. At one point, it was so bad that he almost gave up completely.

There are times in our lives, where even those that we may love can actually cause harm to you in your journey.

Sometimes these individuals don’t mean any ill-will and actually want the best for you.

Other times, it is quite the opposite. I’ve learned over time that a lot of anime and cartoon shows pull from the experiences of actual people so it’s important to pay attention to the various storylines.

But by the very end, Ikki had to dig deep in order to defeat one of the top students so he could make it to the 7-Star festival.

There are times in our lives where we are also fighting to get to the metaphorical “7-Star Festival”, when working for your goals, push past your limits and you will not fail!
