Queen's Blade: The Exiled Virgin - Season 1 (2009)

Claudette arrives where Reina and Listy were the night before and encounters Echidna who explains she let Reina go so that Claudette could become countess and hence reward her.

Reina is missing, swept down the river at the bottom of the ravine, and Echidna goes searching for her. Reina has been enslaved by Menace inside her pyramid.

Reina recovers outside the pyramid, on the edge of a forest, and a Maid of Temptation, Airi is turning the forest into a swamp. She is attacked by the Nowa, Watchmen of the Forest.

In heaven, Nanael is summoned by Seraphim, the head angel who plans to exile her as she has forced people to fight each other. Seraphim threatens to send her to hell unless she goes to where the Swamp Witch is and find out what the Swamp Witch is up to.

Nanael is following Reina on her journey. Tomoe and Shizuka are continuing on their journey as well, and rest at a hot spring. Elina is also on the road and encounters Tomoe and tells her to leave the springs but before she goes Elina realizes that Tomoe has fought Reina.

Steel Princess Ymir announces that she will take vengeance against Cattleya for selling low cost weapons, compared to the Steel Mountain ones that she creates.

Listy, Tomoe and Shizuka all reach the edge of Gainos, and Reina and Nanael catch up with them. Listy tells them to leave, so Reina challenges her to a fight for Queen's Blade and Listy accepts.

Listy is fighting Claudette when she realizes she is starting to go numb from some poison that Echidna has given her, and Claudette defeats her. Reina uses the Elven medicine she has to heal Listy.

Cattleya and Ymir head to Gainos to help out those being attacked by the Army of the Dead. Melona, Menace, Airi and the Army of the Dead continue the onslaught against Reina, Listy, Elina, Claudette and Tomoe.
