Pardon My Mess
What's Changed?
Let's start at the very top with Never Get Old: Lucas is a young man insistent on conquering his father's dying pride in being a Quincy. Between the losses his father has endured, and the fear those have created, along with the inexorable march of time, he's begun to use the "well it wasn't so great anyway!" excuse to deal with the things he can no longer have.
Lucas places a huge bet on himself that he can prove his father wrong and restore that pride.
In The Rumor Mill we see the first big door opened for Lucas: He meets the 'King', who is actually a teenage Queen, and she's receptive to this ideas. His first major hurdle is overcome with ease because of the Quincy he and his father turned him into.
What follows with Knight Me, Moonlight, Not a Girl, Knight of Brass Balls, and One Word at a Time is the journey of Lucas as he starts to make good on that promise. He runs into all sorts of Quincy, some young, some older, and spreads the word ofour lord and savior Freyleif the Order and that the Quincy are coming together. He's met, largely, with success, even from Ichiro and -- eventually -- from Calendrea as well.
He's making it happen, slowly but surely. He's building the thing he and his father dreamed of, together.
Which brings us to Pardon my Mess with Amou Daichi. Part of Lucas' promise to his father was to not kill a Shinigami in order to avoid summong their full wrath. This fight is a strenuous test of that promise because Amou is a legitimately dangerous opponent -- but Lucas holds strong.
Success is the theme here. Lucas has run face-first into the real world and he's made tangible progress. He's making his dreams reality and, with each person he brings into the Order, he feels like he's restoring his father's pride piece by piece.

The Next Chapter
But real life hardly has such happy endings. Sticking doggedly to your guns frequently gets a harder push back, and that's what Lucas will (and has) begun to receive. His big words and noble intentions only hold so much weight in the big, wide world.
He's not the main character of everyone's story, only his own, and the more of a splash he makes among the Quincy and the Shinigami, the more he'll draw the attention of those who'd make sure he breaks that promise to his father.
Whether he can continue to keep it will be the big question of his second arc.
