Skyward Fist Academy · Le casting

Sixteen, the hero: spiky black hair, red headband, white gi with an orange sash, an orange fire aura, huge determined eyes, always shouting his friends' names.

Voix · Loud, cracking with emotion, shouts attack names.

Au départ · punching the air, headband flying

Sixteen, the rival: long silver ponytail, blue gi, frost on her fingertips, an ice-blue aura, a cool stare that cracks into a smile.

Au départ · holding a frozen leaf, challenging him

Ancient, short and bald with a long white beard, a wooden staff, and a laugh that shakes the rooftop.

Voix · Gravelly, amused, speaks in proverbs.

The villain: tall, in a black cloak with purple lightning, a mask covering half his face, wants the academy's flame.

The training rooftop of a Japanese school at sunset: chain-link fence, water tower, a torn banner with the academy crest, huge orange clouds, sakura petals blowing in.

A stone tournament arena ringed with cheering students, lanterns, and banners, the academy's flame burning in a brazier at the center.
