Shin’s honour guard ?

Hey guys i’m currently re reading kingdom and seeing a lot of people having honour guards /personal guard unit or something like a hitman team that follows their general like the ten spears, or like kanki had those 200 guys always with him. I was just wondering because i can’t remember shin having one as a 40,000 man general you’d think he’d have one, do you think it’s possible they will just show up in a fight instead of being introduced not in a fight because i really hope they pop up in this fight.

"Units of treasure" as rewards

I've always wondered. When reward ceremonies occur, there are increases in nobility rank, money, and all, and that I understand, but what are "units of treasures"? In comparison to let's say 2000 gold pieces, how much do 10 units of treasure means?

Should I make headcanons for Fire Dragons?

This is some kind of tradition for me. When I finish a manga and saw wasted potential characters (Such as Fire Dragons) I mostly make my own headcanons for them

Would you like to hear them?

Question for the people that have reread kingdom up until the resent chapters, do you guys feel any downgrade in quality?

For a good while now people complain(and sometimes rightfully so) that kingdom has been "generating" more and more "problems". Characters get tricked and act surprised and shocked more often for generally things that they should have expected, the writing of some events could have been better, Shin feels weak, the art is worse, so on and so forth, those are the claims that people who criticize Kingdom have. Do you feel and see those claims when you reread the manga or are they mostly nitpicks that unless if you analyze the chapters alot more you wouldn't notice most of them?

Do you want a detailed post about Gaku Ki?

I saw earlier a post about T'ien Tan who defeated the Yan army and liberated Qi so I thought it would be nice if there is another one talking about what I believe is the third strongest general in that period after Hakuki and Riboku.

I have a question about Sei's backstory

Why was Ei sei smuggled out of Zhao by Shika in the first place? How would guards at the checkpoints recognise who Sei actually was, couldn't they just walk through without hiding him?

Western Zhao Invasion Arc Question

So I’m rereading the WZI arc and just finished chapter 531. Now ignoring Riboku’s teleporting, why didn’t either Shin or Mouten just kill Kisui?

He was right there, and if they killed him they could have flipped the flow of battle. But they both just decide to back off. I know Shin went for Riboku but Mouten should have still been able to get him. Am I just stupid or am I missing something?

Currently reading the manga for the first time, are any sections of the anime worth watching at any point based on its reputation?

I am currently on vol. 12 during my first read through, I plan on reading primarily, but are there any seasons or parts of the anime that are worth watching?

Shin army composition theory

If Shin will be given a mission where his army alone is the only army, how can Shin's army be built??

I can see right side with kyokai Left side with shosui and en And middle will be 3 armies with Suugen, Hairuu a d Den Yuu

Give him a weapon

Can be any weapon tbh. I’m just giving weapons to General’s who didn’t show any in the manga

For example I gave Rihaku a Glaive+Sword duo. Or Batou a big ass Glaive.

Best ever Kingdom Edit

Hi guys, I have been looking for an Kingdom anime edit which should represent everything of it but as I looked again and again I just found disappointment. If any of you saw a good enough edit or have one kindly tell in comments. It's just a small favor.

Mountain tribe & Yo Tan Wa

Hey folks,

I'm working on an upcoming video dedicated to the mountain tribes and highlight of Yo Tan Wa and Bagio.

Looking for your input on how you perceive them, their impact in the story, their roots etc

In case you enjoy Kingdom video content, I've released recently:

  • Mou Bu & Mou Gou (their way to legacy)
  • Kyou & Kyoukai (the parallel between the two)
  • The Legacy of Ouki

Check out my profile if you're interested.

For now, help me give everyone good content on the mountain tribes, and let's witness more people watching and reading Kingdom 😁

Besides Riboku/Houken/Zhao's endless amount of soldiers, what are your main criticisms of Hara as an author?

Excluding these topics because they've been beaten to death already.

One thing I find annoying is how much he relies on making characters look stupid to make another look smart instead of the smart person just naturally outshining the other people. In early Kingdom I felt like he was better at making smart people come across in that way naturally, but these days he'll have Ten, Shoubunkun, Mouki, Shin, or even Mouten act really surprised and dumb all the time so he can prop up the smarter characters. Mouten for example hasn't had a good natural intelligence moment since he revived the Makou army in Shukai plains almost 300 chapters ago. It's like Hara worfs his characters in intelligence and it feels quite cheap at times.

What do you think Hara's not good at?
