Catch-Up with Past Seasons
What Happened in Season 1
So, before plunging headlong into Season 2, it is appropriate to reflect on what Season 1 portrayed. Season 1 of Four Knights of the Apocalypse took viewers through the story of Percival, a young boy whose future, despite known events, proves all the more mysterious than his past. He spent his early days isolated and out of sight, only to be thrown right into an adorable, magical, and dark world of prophecy and knights.
Percival will delve deeper into knowing himself, which holds the difference between saving and destroying the world. His desire to protect his friends and fight for justice will make him stronger and unravel more mysteries of Camelot andKing Arthur’s rule. As Percival sharpens his abilities, the season is bound to find him grappling with inner conflict over responsibilities associated with his title and testament to his resolute heart. There will be intense fighting and new allies, which will bring moments both heartbreaking and intense to the fore as Percival proves his leadership and moral compass in the struggle against the darkness that threatens the world.
Season 1 was primarily to lay the prophecy setting of theFour Knights and how Percival fits in. Meanwhile, he forges relationships with other knights, including Lancelot and Tristan, two characters connected with the original cast of Seven Deadly Sins. By the end of Season 1, Percival had come a long way from the naive boy he once was, stepping into his role as one of the prophesied knights. That journey, however, is far from over, as there are many more trials and revelations waiting for him in Season 2.

AsFour Knights of the Apocalypsecontinued to grow in popularity, speculation has grown with fans over which story direction it will take. While it’s a given to continue the Season 2 storyline of Holy Knights, there could be a possibility for new allies and enemies to emerge. A viewer is going to witness some world-building on a huge scale, completing new kingdoms, magical creatures, and threats.
The development of the characters will still be one of the major focuses, especially in the cases of Percival, Lancelot, and Tristan.
