Chances are, if you identified with or enjoyed following a certain fighter’s story, she’s on board with this OVA for you to watch and enjoy.
It all works out in the end, however, with the bevy of women there actually are. There’s one face that’s conspicuously absent, unfortunately, and those who have stuck around from the beginning will find her absence undoubtedly frustrating. You’ll be following Nowa, Elina, Alleyne, Nanael, Tomoe, Nyx, the Swamp Witch trio, and Aldra for the course of the series, with special appearances by lesser characters you might have seen in the first two seasons. If you’re looking for a prelude of sorts to Season 3, you won’t find it here-this is all about taking it back to the classics. If there’s a particular fighter you became enamored with during the course of the regular show, you’ll have time to get to know her here, with most of the cast from the first two seasons of Queen’s Blade returning, without any additional characters added to the cast. Beautiful Warriors follows a more episodic format than that of the previous seasons of Queen’s Blade, focusing on clusters of characters to tell their back stories, struggles, and growth as fighters.
