40 free Chivalry of a Failed Knight trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Chivalry of a Failed Knight, known in Japan as Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry, starts from a simple reversal: the student everyone has written off turns out to be the most dangerous swordsman at his school. Ikki Kurogane has almost no magic, a family that wants him to fail, and one tournament in which to prove them wrong. Stella Vermillion, the transfer student who expects to beat him easily, becomes his rival and then something more. This quiz follows the story the anime tells: the first duel, the selection matches, the student council's strongest fighters and the scheme to keep Ikki out of the national finals. Expect questions on nicknames, signature techniques and named weapons, along with the voice cast, the studio and the author behind the original books. The early questions suit anyone who has watched the series once. Later ones reward fans who remember which fighter uses which power.
