Ranking of Kings (Season 1, Part 2) – January 5, 2022

 

At first glance, many people would not have bet on this anime, but it is clear that it was one of the successes of 2021. You should not just stop at the somewhat too childish aspect of the hero of the story. In the highly selective world of Ranking of Kings, kings are ranked based on skill, bravery and exploits.

For Prince Boji, eldest son of King Bosse, things seem to be off to a bad start. His position is not very advantageous and his personality does not help matters. He is a naive young man, unsure of himself and because of his disability (deaf-mute), he is the object of ridicule. But the young prince will have an encounter that will change his destiny.

On the path he has chosen to follow, he will face his sworn enemies and cannot turn back. We can't wait to see where his beliefs will take him and what the implications will be for the world. It is with a heavy heart that we are about to follow the grand finale of mangaka Hajime Isayama's work.
