What do you think are the strongest armies. Please rank your top 5

My choices are

1. Yotanwa (strongest physical army, strong lineup, defeating a 90k Zhao army with Quanrong reinforcements)

2. Seika army (simply too strong lineup, Shibashou and co literally mowing down enemies while being pincered)

3. Tou/Ouki remnants army (perfect army, and most experienced among all)

4. Juuko army Man'U, Sento'Un, Gen'U and Juko'U (if they were motivated they would surely be n.1 too strong individual generals capable of turning the tides on their own and great martial might)

5. Riboku army Bananji, Shunsuiju, Bafuuji, Futei (strong lineup, but we haven't seen them in action together)

Even Kanki the beheader pays tribute to the Goat Mougou.

I wondered why Kanki respects Mougou so much.

Ousen new army shall be truly anticipating as it shall be one that will be renowned and terrified. We can look forward to seeing new generals and an army capable of tactical and instinctual talent. What do you guys look forward to about Ousen new army?

In the Gyou arc, ousen can easily discern riboku army through 'origin'. With his current army demolished, it allows him to recreate an army and knowing ousen characteristics & goal to demolish Riboku the next time they meet, he is bound to create a formidable army.

The limitation of his past army was that all his generals except Akou had major flaws. His army composition was also not instinctual and tactical imbedded just like riboku army. I am thinking that aside from improving those flaws, he will add something more (given hara has the time to draw the next arc after han)

Possibility:

- Shibashou calibre general joining the fray

- Special unit (Heavy crossbows/Special infantry/Special calvary)

- Special investigation unit (so hara don't just let another makou scene happen again lol)

What do you guys think?

To note: meanwhile this whole han's arc, Ousen is given the time to train up his new army and gain further knowledge about zhao. Good luck Riboku, you may be hara's favourite but u still need to fall ya? I do hope it's a glorious fall though

I think HSU needs some commanders who can hold their ground on their own. Currently only trustable commanders are sosui,kyo kai and Ga Ro.

Knowing moubus character being caught up (3rd reread rn) this was huge and a lot for him to own up to his own mistakes gotta love it Rip the goat Tous emotions brutal

Personally, he’s my favourite character in all of kingdom. I could gush endlessly about him, but one compliment I would give his character is that he is THE guy driving the plot. Every major arc, happens because of him. Also, would you guys rank him as the strongest general in China?

Ive seen some video on youtube talking about kingdom and in the background there was some really cool manga animations, I tried to search it but It seems like I cant find anything

not alot of anime or manga alone, get stand alone movies, how was kingdom able to get one, was it so immnesly popular, im just baffled tbh. Because the movies are hella good too

At the moment I do not see Shin at the status of a Great General , quite frankly the way he îs right now is quite a ways off , hes not on the same level as the new 6 and even further off than the old generation. What needs to happen for Shin to get there? The current Han invasion I fear will not be enough to get him too close to it even though I expect this war to be over in 1 or 2 days and Shin to get some good achievments after 2 consecutive losses , it will not be enough to make him a 6 GG. He needs to evolve as a character and I cant exactly think what even could make him do that

Upon gramps death, mouten hasnt had the chance to return the favours back to zhao. I look forward to zhao facing mouten in the han arc.

Mouten said in one of the recent chapter ‘i will hold this one tight for you shin’ can also be another interpretation of ‘its payback time… for gramps’

Mouten characteristics are not the hot blooded, but i wish theres enough time screen to showcase him stopping zhao completely and an awakening in his unit since he’s the only one left out of the trios.

If Shin and Ouhon is the definition of pure strength and inspiration, can you guys think what Mouten would be

BRO THIS SHIT WAS BEATIFUL

Ryouyou Battle is easily one of my favorite Battle and best in the WZI Arc right now

I'm watching season 4 right now and when Kyou Kai comes back from >!getting her revenge for her sister !<she all of a sudden claims she wants to become a general now. This feels so random?? And it feels like she's getting in the way of Shin's goals now by competing with him. I understand that she's finding a new purpose but why does it have to be an obstacle in Shin's path?

Will this be recurring throughout the rest of the anime?

I Absolutely hate how easily Shin gets surprised at every single moment like this one , hes been on the battlefield for so long and still gets thrown off by these things. I understand hes not a tactics guy but I wish Hara at least make him silent when he hears something he doesnt understand rather than scream and get all surprised, its like hes one of the officials from the court getting surprised after every single change of events

If the real events were taken as it is would you guys still love kingdom?

1. RBK being at disadvantage for most of the times and still beating/defending Qin armies.
2. Shin's biggest known glory is the Chu defeat.
3. Ousen giving up on idea of beating RBK and making him executed.

I'd say that it wouldn't sell as much and I'd also see Qin as tyrannical nation with conquering ideas and not reuniting. I'll also start calling the Qin sides frauds as they couldn't beat rbk with their large armies, I like how the story is moving forward but yeah RBK takes the L as a character.

Being upto date with the manga. I find myself thinking which characters do we get to find out a lot about and which characters do I feel like have a strong reason or motivation for doing things.

To me Ouki and Seikyou stand out. Ouki from the start had a STRONG eerie presence and mystery surrounding him, topping it off by him being OP. I felt like knowing more about him. We then get to know his backstory for going to war again and see the reason of why he was how he was after the previous king died. His death was a statement to everyone in china for different reasons. He held a lot of weight by existing.

Seikyou had a crazy redemption arc. Going from being a piece of shit to an actual decent person. What stuck out was that he loved his wife a lot even when he was an ass. Even though he only helped his brother due to risk of him not getting a chance at the throne if RyoFui Won. Risking his life for the sake of finding his wife and then to make sure RyoFui’s plans failed even though he knew he stood no chance made him a great character and would have loved to see him grow and see Him and his brother’s relationship grow.

Duke Hyou was another character which stood out to me.. he was a total CHAD, great vibes from him, don’t get a back story to him but he just had that vibe that you’re gonna be ok when you’re with him.

Only living character I feel like I actually emotionally care for is Riboku. He is an enemy but we know his motivations, why he cares so deeply and the lengths he goes to secure victory. He is a caring character for all his allies. Seeing him die would leave a gap to fill. Who would be the next enemy that I wouldn’t want them to die.

Following Shin for the 800 or so chapters we live with him and although we see his battle prowess and strength grow through the struggles during the war and a little bit of him as a character outside of war. I find it hard to connect with him as he hasn’t grown mentally, suffered losses, make deep connections with his comrades.

What characters do you care about. Would love to know

I just not get it. Every week we get like 20 Riboku is bad threats and 30 for Ten and Kain. And we also get hate for every single arc currently just because Qin did have some setbacks for once.

I mean this arc starts really cool with how Tou and Kyou kai avoided fighting. And yet I only read hate.

I think people struggle with the weakly releases. Kingdom arcs work best read in one go. I think both of the last two arcs were really great on reread. But of course the dialogues and scenes felt slow if you can only read one chapter a week.

Like seriously, I get the animation is inconsistent and can be bad at times but the plot is so good I don’t see how it can matter. The fact that the animation is low quality and they STILL managed to make it exciting and easy to watch is a testament to how good the plot is. The cast is also very good, they were able to get a large number of voice actors from other major animes like Masakazu Morita from Bleach, Jun Fukuyama from Code;Geass, and Junichi Suwabe. I just don’t understand the hate.

since there's no chapter this week, here’s a quick fix to ease the withdrawal https://mangadex.org/chapter/ca5a08fc-ab0a-4859-a00a-ad3660e70a22/3

Just rereading the spies chapters and then bihei's wedding came , wholesome chapter
