btw i think by chip on her shoulder they meant the saying: "To have a chip on one's shoulder refers to the act of holding a grudge or grievance that readily provokes disputation. It can also mean a person thinking too much of oneself (often without the credentials) or feeling entitled. " not a physical chip B)

It is also used to describe someone who is always looking for a conflict, even where there is no legitimate (or even hypothetical) reason to hold a grudge or grievance; "Nice day, huh?" "Oh, you think it's a nice day, huh? What's so nice about this day? You think your day is better than mine, huh? You think you're better than me?"

[@Practitioner_of_Diogenes]

To expand on the name "Durandal", it's also the name of a sword used by Roland; a paladin of Charlemagne, in literature. In history, a paladin was a very high ranking knight (and often a personal friend to the king they served). In fact, Charlemagne only had a total of twelve paladins, and are often comparable to the Knights of the Round Table in Arthurian Legend. They're often romanticized in stories and tales involving them fighting off the Saracen (Moors, more specifically) invasion of Europe centuries before the crusades happened.

Durindana is just another name for Durandal.

I'm pretty sure the "chip on her shoulder" remark isn't supposed to be literal. To have a chip on one's shoulder refers to the act of holding a grudge or grievance that readily provokes disputation.

She basically is the super proud elite character stereotype in anime ( like Sasuke from Naruto or even Bakugo from my hero academia

Something worth pointing out (nothing to do with the video itself). To all the people saying that this was MHA inspired, you should search and watch Chalviary of a falied knight and/or Absolute duo.
