A great hero lies undefeated on her deathbed, regretting that she never found a foe who could take her down. She never intended to meet her fate anywhere other than on the battlefield, and her peaceful demise has her wishing desperately that things could have been different... But when she suddenly comes to in the body of the young, frail Nia Liston, she’s got an all-new fight ahead of her. Nia is a sickly child, meaning she has a long way to go before she’s in fighting form. Now that she’s been given a second shot at life, however, she’s determined to get what she wants. She’s going to live—and die—for battle this time! Make way for the Merciless Maiden!

The verdict

Senpai’s take

Season picksMust watchFall 2026

An undefeated martial hero's soul gets stuffed into a dying four-year-old noble girl, who becomes a magic-TV star while just wanting to fight. Gorgeous animation, brutal action and a cool steampunk fantasy world with a strong Skies of Arcadia appeal. Potentially the best show of the fall and worth a HIDIVE sub on its own.
