During the #AnimeExpo #RankingOfKings panel, Director Yousuke Hatta and Producer Maiko Okada were asked the closing question:
What is the most important aspect of Ranking of Kings that you would like for the audience to take home?
I felt it was worth sharing their responses.

Yousuke Hatta: "I am not sure if it is a more recent trend or culture, but I get this sense that people feel if they lose even once, then that is the end, they are cancelled, and everything is over. But in this story, a lot of people and characters take many, many detours-"
"-some fall from very high status, rank, or power, or what have you - but they all work towards rebuilding in some capacity. So I know it might sound very idealistic, but I think that that can apply to our real world. So it is okay, you can get back up, and give it another shot."
Maiko Okada: "To add on to that, it is also about the characters around those who either made a mistake or fell somehow, to be accepting and forgiving; this show has kind of shown me the proper attitude and posture of how you can support people who are going through tough times."
