Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Queen's Blade originated as a tabletop game by Hobby Japan, designed specifically to showcase artist Hirokazu Hisayuki's character designs—which explains why plot sometimes feels like an afterthought between battle poses.
Airi's voice actress Kanae Itou reportedly took the role specifically to break her typecast as cute heroines; she later called it 'liberating chaos.'
