I thought this page was a shitpost at first. He really did hide 100k soldiers behind a potted plant.
>>288631501>they really took hidden paths to move their armyit's extremely cringe and i say this as a Riboku sama enjoyer
>character does thing character has been doing FROM THE LITERAL MOMENT OF HIS INTRODUCTION>everyone is surprised?
>>288631501Those dry bulging eyes are still as disturbing as ever, that Shin death scene made it worse.

>>288631501I understand he killed the scouts but you dont move 100k people on horses without dust trails. We literally established that during the coalition war arc.

>>288636414I would like to say boobs, but she dosent even have those
>>288637283Why do the Arabs have the new chapter before the Japs?>>288636414She has that retarded turtle shell clothing. That's something.
>>288637672she's got the spirit... or atleast she used to
>>288632256Video games!
>>288637774i subscribe to the weeb prince theory
>>288637283That was a pretty chad one-liner from Reebok.
>>288636868Having no scouts report back would also be a sign that something is wrong.
>>288631501so how is this supposed to end in anything that is not a total massacre of shin and his troops?
>>288639962Kyoukai will hold them at bay until Mouten arrives and only named characters will get to live
>>288639962Same as every other time bullshit happens. More bullshit.
>>288639962They’ll be alright.
>>288640144that looks like a pretty low amount of troops for conquering a city in the first place
>>288640144>only attacking one side of the wall>allowing the defender to concentrate their forcesGenius
>>288640341>>288640643Shin doesn't have the numbers because he used most of them as a rearguard. Only Riboku can sneak 6 million soldiers through thin gaps in the battlefield.
if reebok has all those troops there doesn't that mean they are getting reamed somewhere else?
Where is Sou Jin when you need him the most?
>>288641143History demands that he dies in prison like a bitch.
>>288640957okay so what's the scenario herewill shin and co. escape to castle walls while leaving the men to eat dirtor another party interferes? or just plain old asspull?
>>288641288shin will see an opening in the enemy lines and go FUAAARK ENTER, entering the enemy lines creating confusion so another party can flank them even harder. who needs a plan when you can just ENTER enemy lines. total qin victory.
>>288631501Maybe don't read shounenslop manga if you want Chinese war epics.
>>288641485Chinese war history sounds like shonenslop at timesAbsolute unhinged shit
>>288641485who asked caocaopigs?
>>288637283I love Riboku-sama, I would bear his children if I were a woman.
>>288631501check the google earth, it's possible

Looking forward to seeing Riboku’s head go flying.
>>288644429he will be recruited by Ousen
>>288644429*Robuk’s body double’s headHe will retire to the north and have many, many children
This was somehow the best-selling manga of May 2026. Absolute insanity.
I really need to catch up, I'm all the way at the Kan-Ki arc still like volume 53 I think.
>>288636414She's good at cooking
>>288634732perfect
>>288640643To be fair, Shin has always been Vibe Commanding throughout his entire leadership career.
>>288637774theory that the same oil prince who bought the script for the final hxh episode is paying translators to release in arab first
its out!https://cubari.moe/read/imgchest/wl7l8we5o4x/1/1/
Shin you FOOL!!! did you seriously think you would notice an army 10x the size of you trying to sneak past the defensive lines?? Should have learned about the hidden paths of Zhao before coming here.
>kyoukai arrived before Riboku last chapter>somehow he teleported his troops in front of her army in the new chapter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmSmsG3nuHs
I didn't mind all the Riboku mary sue bs, because I thought it would just make it a greater accomplishment when he finally gets beaten, but if he gets executed and dies undefeated, it all becomes trash
>>288631501Just marathoned this after I stopped around Houken's death. I'm actually upset Shin is still struggling when fighting against other generals after he beat Houken. Houken really feels like some invincible motherfucker and the new generals that popped out after him just doesn't feel as menacing no mater how much glazing they got. Shin isn't using his instinctual general thing too, after countering whatshisface. Hell, it doesn't feel like Karyo Ten is doing anything for some time other than cooking. Both of them are getting blindsided frequently by their enemies. Shin should be around 29 to 30 now and he's still going WHAAAAT? I'M GOING TO BE THE VICE GENERAL TO ATTACK WU?! Yes nigger, you've been fighting in wars for more than a decade and have racked insane amount of merits by now. Then there's motherfucking Riboku. I don't care if this nigger is married or whatever now, just move on with the story. He's such an annoying faggot, I don't even care if Shin just cleaves him in half in their first exchange. Goddamn, it's starting to wear me out. I miss Kanki's shenanigans...
>>288649540>TO ATTACK WUShit, I meant Han. How the fuck did I type Wu? What the hell? I'm blaming Riboku.
>>288637283>how ironic, the same scene and the same formation that took Ouki's soul, isn't it?Okay but since RBK didn't bring houken 2.0 with him how's he gonna take down shin?
>>288649717The gang is all here
>>288631501i have had riobku fatigue for quite some years now
The worst part isn't that Riboku has these magic hidden paths ability, the worst part is, that all the other "smart" characters, never take it into account no matter how many times he uses it to destroy them.
Ok, i mean, definitively this must be it. This is the final battle of Riboku. Either he loses and dies, or gets executed later, it doesn't matter. The point is that this is the FINAL BATTLE.So how do you think it will go? What will be the twist?
>>288649717anon...it was already established hundreds of chapters ago that Riboku sama is one tough mofo. he will personally duel and defeat Shin. Kyoukai will manage to save him before Riboku sama delivers the killing blow and she'll be wounded too.
>>288649959This is a not a historical battle anon.
>>288631501I used to like Riboku but at some point his asspulls just got annoying.
>>288649842Now that I think about it, Ousen and Ouhon did predict Riboku's 6 million troops pulled out of his hidden anus, but their response to it was just, magically hold out forever. The writing in this arc is so fucking bad, how do you fumble the most important arc of your whole manga THIS badly??
>>288650003Riboku's combat prowess was already retconned when kanki who was never regarded as a capable fighter almost killed him
>>288650382because Riboku sama ditched the warrior ways for command but we're not told why yet.this battle will force him to get back in touch with his inner warrior.
>>288649540Yeah, Riboku needs to die now so we can move on with the story. If he doesn't, im reviving Kanki.
>Riboku is literally a summoner-character who can spawn armies out of thin air>it started as a meme but no he just did it on panelThat's the Zhao for you...
There better be a chapter after the fall of Zhao focusing on how the economy in the territories is ruined because Riboku kept pulling armies out of his ass.
>>288651267That and their clone technology to create infinite new armies.
god i'm so over riboku. everytime he's on my screen i'm just rolling my eyes and sighing uncontrollably..
>teleporter>cloaking device>cloning farms>mutated superhuman generals>hidden bases all over the landRealistically is there a way to stop him without resorting to politicking?

>QIN ARE UNSTOPPABLE! THEYRE WINNING EVERYTHING!>RIBOKU IS UNSTOPPABLE! HE PREDICTED THIS!tired of this back and forth>>288651719ugh
>>288651769Is this how it all ends, Qin bros? I'm no strategist but I don't like how this looks...
Why is he the only one who can predict Riboku's bs? Is the Ou family just that much better than the rest of Qin?
>>288651984it should've been Riboku sama
>>288651769>>288652290Surely someone must come to Shin's rescue, maybe Ousen will pull out a teleporter of his own?
>>288651757so this is why reebok will be executed?
Did they finally fix the translations? Stopped reading about a year ago due to extreme ESL scans
>>288652471they're just built different>>288653242it was picked up by official translators
YOU DID WELL SHEN, IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I HAD TO USE "THAT"ACTIVATE THE HYPERSPACE GATEWAYS
>>288651779Whwn has karyo ten actually properly contributed?
>>288651769So Riboku was able to move an army three times ´the sizes of shins without abyobe noticing ?No, fuck that.
Shin humiliation ritual
>>288653782secret roads retard, what else needs to be said?
With Ouki, you needed Moubu to act like a retard, plus the terrain and the speed of the horsemen made a reasonable explanation for the ambush although Ouki always knew about the possibility. Even with all that Reebook barely won.
>>288653782>rush for the capital at full speed>no mention of scouting to the sides. just ahead
>>288653782Hidden tunnels bro.
>>288653923No, i dont think Shin, Karyoten and Kyokai are that retarded to not have scouts as they advance to kantan.
>>288654095scouts can't see secret roads, why do you think they're secret?
>>288651747>Qin was fighting armies at 20% strength without anyone realizingB R A V O
>>288654095bwo?
>>288654222Superior tactics.
>>288654222it was Mouten. he split his whole army to supposedly stop 3 armies and he caught on quick enough the previous chapter.
>>288641485>shounenslopIt's literally a literal seinen manga, you absolute untermensch. But that just goes to show you that it's actually completely and utterly irrelevant what magazine a manga gets published in and what its supposed ''''''target audience'''''' is.
which one is the vibe translation?>>288637283>>288651865
>>288651779Bro is SHOOK
>>288653100
>>288651747>over 6 gorillion chinamen going through "hidden roads" without being foundBravo. Did they dig through the ground like the vietcong?
>>288632339Uses secret underground roads, summons armies, and spawns highly acclaimed generals? I'd be surprised every time.
>>288636111As useless as anybody who faced Riboku. I can't put this on tent, everyone is dumbed down when they face Ribikou, even Ouki and Kanki.
>>288649748What are the rest of Qin doing when everyone fucking left the battlefield??
>>288653782>three timesThat looks at least 5.
>>288657033>ENTER
>>288657628>40k times 5>riboku sent 200k people through underground tunnelsSasuga.Though I guess there's a chance Shin wasn't being retarded and split his troops in 4 to assault the capital from all directions, meaning Riboku's teleporting army is much smaller than 200k?
>>288657696Didnt mark Kotsu Minhaku army and Bafuuji army, without countin losses, they send 80% of their troops so its 128k at most but there have been heavy losses so around 100k is more likely to be most they have sent
>>288651893They'll keep climbing and try to hold out on the wall, this will also add to the king's paranoia against Riboku leading to his death
>>288651779>the great strategist Karyo Ten
>>288642664Hara...
>>288651267He's also an elf >>288649208
>>288657696>Shin wasn't being retarded and split his troops in 4He doesn't have the numbers to do so.
>>288641084>if reebok has all those troops there doesn't that mean they are getting reamed somewhere else?Actually this, who even is left on the main battlefield now?
>>288658250Millions of clones.
Ribokek gravely miscalculated. He doesn't have Houken or that dude from the Ten Bows who sniped Ouki. That means Shin is free to go on a rampage and kill 10k soldiers with a single swing of his glaive, buying enough time for reinforcement to arrive.
>>288658296what makes you think he can't pull another houken out of his ass? or maybe he'll just become the houken himself by unleashing his warrior spirit
>>288658354>pulls out Zombie Houken who survived the last battle with stitches all over his body
>>288658354Because Shin wouldn't stand a chance otherwise. All the parallels with Ouki's death are there so he can overcome this situation and prove he has finally surpassed him.
>>288658354>enter Houken's son
just read the chapter. rikeku has fucked up bigly. if he doesn't get rid of rikek by today, it's over for him.
>>288658401He already had his ""surpassing"" ouki moment when he beat houken
>>288658651Surpassed him as a warrior, not as a general. And he kinda died in the process.
>>288658729The odds were still more stacked against ouki in his last battle since he had to deal with both houken and riboku
rikeku made a bold move, but he's also setting himself up for a massive failure because he's so obsessed with hunting his boogeyman. mouten has already seen through the plan. once he relays that information to ousen, the entire battlefield could shift. instead of securing a decisive advantage, rikeku might end up dragging the war right to kantan's doorstep because of this move. if rikeku lets this opportunity slip, it's going to come back and haunt him. not only will it hurt him militarily, but it'll also damage his image back home and give his political enemies plenty of ammunition to use against him. on top of that, ousen has no reason to stay anchored in the center anymore. he can start moving freely, and that's where things get dangerous for rikeku. his greatest weapon has always been his ability to plan several moves ahead and control the flow of the battle. but if ousen closes the distance and turns the conflict into a battle of adjustments and counter adjustments. rikeku is the kind of commander who becomes vulnerable when the battlefield stops following the script. if this turns into a unpredictable one, I can see him fumbling hard.
>>288658296There will be another hidden hero of Zhao. Trust the plan.
Riboku is so cool bros.
Riboku's not done yet...Edo Tensei Ouki arrives
>>288649748the jobber gang?they were carried hard by Houken
>>288646076who's li mu
>>288651611what planning?
>>288660060Imu
>>288660090He's setting up Riboku, he's gonna make it look like they are joining forces against the Zhao king
>>288651779>>288658027>breaks free from main army>goes deep into zhao territory to the capital>not expecting any tricks from THE ribokuTen needs to go
>>288660198It's not Ten's fault that Mouten and Kyoukai couldn't keep Riboku back.
>>288660198There was nothing she could do, the advance had been risky from the outset, and the prize drew them in like a lion to prey, oblivious to the trap. Riboku did well, blocking them with his first line of defense. They were desperate for a breakthrough.
>wtf why didn't Ten outwit RibokuListen to yourself
How are you supposed to outwit a guy that just teleported behind you?
>>288660545>>288660613being able to attack a suspiciously unguarded capital should have been her first guess
>>288660707Maybe Ousen should do something.
>>288660613We'll after he teleports for the 100th time, you would probably start expecting it and act accordingly.
>>288660736Him not doing anything will be a killing blow to Riboku.
>>288660707too late... they've already set the coordinated advance in motion... stopping means death... wake up sleepy joe...>>288660738yeah well no one lived to tell the tale...
Don't you think it's suspicious how passive Ousen has been for the entire war? he came here to take down Zhao yet he has made no move for far too long. If I was the king of Zhao I would think it's suspicious as well.
>>288660833According to my sources, he’s in the midst of tunneling his way to Kantan. Trust the plan.
>>288660833the zhao king doesn’t care about that shit.he just wants the next person to rape asap
>>288660891He'll care when fatso starts fear mongering about Riboku betraying him
I miss him...
>>288661902we all do sis...
>>288657033>even Ouki and Kanki.Still baffled at how in Kanki's invasion they decided to extend themselves further when cut off from the rest of their forces and facing the most obvious trap in history. AND this was contingent on the fact that Ousen wouldn't send reinforcements. Even in his reveal Riboku's entire plan was based entirely on Moubou being a massive retard and falling for the most obvious trap in history which would force Ouki to pursue and he still almost failed.
>>288631501Lmao
>>288651830Hara does this on purpose, lol.
>>288660736Oh he will. Trust the plan.
This manga unironically and genuinely died with Kanki.Total mess ever since.
>>288664234They need to move on to Chu already and then summarize the rest of the conquests and end on an epilogue
>>288637283>>288639810The worst part is that Shin will get out of this to "prove" he "surpassed" Ouki except it'll feel completely unearned and impossible to believe because Shin continues to be a utter and complete retard who still goes EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHH UUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHH B-BUT I CAN'T READ I'M A PEASANT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ORDER FANCIER CLOTHES NOW THAT I'M A GENERAL whenever someone says 2+2 at any meeting.
>>288664234That's what I thought with Houken and Shin's death, but then came another high point with Kanki's death. I have faith that it will get better.On the other hand, I have no idea how this manga will be after Riboku's death. How will the author create any stakes without his favorite character?
>>288664379The thing is that you know Hara's chink microdick is ultra hard right now because of this gigarebookwank. We think this shit is awful? For Hara this is kino. This is, in his opinion, his best.There's nowhere to go but down because I have zero faith on Hara continuing to give a genuine fuck without his little gary stu giving him energy to keep drawing.>How will the author create any stakes without his favorite character?What stakes?That's the problem with rebook. You can't have any stakes between HOUKEN HIJACK LOL and teleporting armies. You can't have stakes if it doesn't feel like our heroes are being genuinely outwitted but dumbed down.Even if we pretend we don't know Qin wins ez pz because historical spoilers can you genuinely tell me you've been feeling any steaks for a while now?
>>288649748>no bananji and shunsuijuyeah, all these jobbers are worth shit
>>288651840ten, you are fucking up again. At this point it's better to use half the army to gamble on taking Kantan's walls while the other half fights to the death. Sure, people on the ground will get destroyed, but those on top have a serious chance of surviving. Also If you get inside Kantan you can also capture the king and make him stop reebokThis way you'll just get pinned against the wall and die. Of course this is probably going to be the time Ousen appears and saves Shin
>>288664598>>288664379The guy who betrays Qin will become the next master asspull during the Chu arc, it will be Riboku v2.0
>>288665106Don't you dare compare my goat Shouheikun to Reebok.
>>288651984lolouhon is like the only general character is even worse than shin
>>288665189t. Ousen
>>288664379>>288664598>>288665106>i leave my super secret teleporting army skill to you
>>288631501Both Kyokai and Mouten noticed though... if they make it in time (and they will because we know Xin doesn´t die here) they´ll have Riboku´s rear but personally i would just Kanki it and have an assassin go after Kaine. Her head on a spike is a 100% sure to break Riboku beyond repair.
>>288646182?Kingdom is one of the most popular manga being serialized right now
>>288665358The problem is that the nooticing should have happened 99.9% faster because of how much of a ridiculous amount Riboku was pulling out.A fucking 80/20 ratio. It's absurd. How the fuck the people left behind weren't getting trounced instantly? How the fuck Mouten didn't notice now ridiculously small army they were fighting? How the fuck were those now small armies managing to get instantly trounced through sheer numbers?You do the math and it's like 20k somehow holding off 120k and that 20k is spread out among many different groups. It's fucking nuts.And that's without bringing up how the 80% somehow also managed to move completely undetected.No matter from which angle you see it it is completely and absolutely fucking nuts.
>>288665358If she died she'd just become a martyr, her getting captured alive would probably fuck with his head more. Especially if you take into account they've been having sex so she may be pregnant (albeit in the very early stages).
>>288665956There's no world in which Kaine dies. Much less if she's pregnant.
>>288665985I think the author is going to pull a Ryo Fui and have her survive in hiding with Riboku's child as a sort of bittersweet ending even if it's not accurate to history at all
>>288662281Qin is just arrogant since they have the mightiest armies in China.
>>288666012Pretty much. Hara doesn't have the ball to have Riboku have a true bad ending.
>>288660060Riboku sama's Chinese name. the anime translators don't use the Japanese names for some reason.
>>288649384This scene is KINO
>>288651779This is Even Speedwagon was afraid tier, kek
>>288649959Hey theres also the option he wins and escape and the king just executes some random dude / body double
>>288666110>>288666115If I didn't know better I would swear Hara is aware of all the memes and browses these threads.Shit just reads like a shitposst.
I'm like 80 chapters behind. Where can I read online to catch up?
>>288651771Riboku-sama still have these 4 old dudes that are Gorosei tier
>>288666186weebcentral
>>288664354>Shin will get out of this to "prove" he "surpassed" Ouki except it'll feel completely unearnedyou really think so? i always believed Riboku sama will never be truly defeated to have the main characters always remember him as the one enemy whom they couldn't best.
>>288654227So Karyoten had tunnel vision expecting Riboku-sama to be in Kantan instead of pincering them
Don't forget that the king is JEALOUS of Riboku-sama, if Hara takes that route, I expect Riboku-sama to perform excellently and walk all over qin dogs.
>>288651828>>288651815>>288651792>>288651801>>288651840>>288651850>>288651865>>288651876Remember when everyone was saying Shin will lose everyone in Chu, looks like Riboku will be claiming their souls early and retire peacefully after this successful defense.
>>288666267i need to reread the chapters a bit but i think she thought he was in the main battle somewhere>>288665826>How the fuck the people left behind weren't getting trounced instantly?this is the biggest question since Choukotsu is there too and he's supposed to be facing Yoko Yoko.but maybe Riboku sama was only talking about the second line and the generals left their main armies because Hara wanted to keep known faces?>How the fuck Mouten didn't notice now ridiculously small army they were fighting?he did notice. he split his army over a wide terrain and you can't really tell the numbers without a vantage point.
>>288666582Oh that make sense since she probably thought the fuck cares about HiShin instead of Ousen, after just what happened here >>288654025 lol
>>288632951I wasn't expecting someone else to beat me to this old joke... Wait a minute...CRRRREEEEEEEEEEEDDDDD!!!!
>>288657883please make a more detailed map
>>288665358>(and they will because we know Xin doesn´t die here)well duh obviously he has main character plot armorI just wonder if there will be actual consequences and actual named characters dying
>>288665043Stopping the siege would also let the defenders continue to attack them, this is worse than having your back to the wall as far as the general expression goes because normally at least the wall is neutral.
>>288646182Kingdom is alright, it's just that the others are garbage.
Previous chapter ended on >>288631501This chapter ends on >>288651876This was just a reaction face chapter
>>288657993Genuinely stupid idea.
>>288660358>>288660363It's her fucking fault at a minimum for letting 100k+ troops surprise assrape them like that. A literal handful of outriders would've prevented this from happening the way that it did (i.e. pants down, buttcheeks spread).
>>288660736And end up like that whole ass circus called the Hi Shin Unit? Yeah, no. >be Shin&Ten>do something>losePathetic.
>>288665826Le this.>>288666136Given how dogshit of a writer Hara is, this might actually happen. Not because it's at all plausible that the king and his faction wouldn't notice but just because Hara is truly *that* much of a hack.
>>288666218Could be. He's definitely been portrayed exactly that way so far and we know that Reebok won't meet his end on the battlefield.
Scouts are so insanely useless in this series
Will there be a shitshow if Shin army was losing, then the Zhao king intervenes and commanding Reebok to stand down and let the Hi Shin army pass?
>>288670942What do you expect? The scouts don't know about the hidden paths or the tunnels or the warp gates.
>>288671004kek
>>288670942Naki is dead bro...
>trying to downplay Riboku-sama’s brilliant strategyYou qin dogs are missing the point. Even if they’d sent scouts, there’s no guarantee they’d spot the enemy hiding in the terrain, or that Riboku-sama would take the obvious routes. And Ten couldn’t just keep sending scouts everywhere to check all the surrendered areas, there wasn’t simply enough time. Most of the blame falls on Mouten, but that’s not really fair since this all started just 3 days ago. He’s at least noticed what’s happening and moved to rescue the trapped qin dogs, but there’s still no guarantee he can get them out. At this point, only the central forces can really save them. If this were real, they would have been wiped out in just an hour. Well Ten did die spiritually. There’s no way out now, qin dogs.
If you visualize an actual battlefield in 3D, you’ll see that this is possible.>>288657628Everyone thinks this battlefield is flat, but that’s a misconception caused by overly simplified illustrations.
>>288654795Shounen is a demographic you dumb ESL faggot. It doesn't matter what magazine it's pubished in.
yeah I think I’ve figured out his trick, he hid the troops inside that giant wall he built before the gyou campaign.
Why didnt they just send out Moubu? Shin cant compete with this
>>288665826i've been trying to reread the chapters with the benefit of the doubt in mind.the second defensive line is not included in Zhao's numbers nor the map anon draws show them >>288657883. with those extra soliders, the original front lines might still be held.
>>288671846it all depends on how superior in numbers the second line is
>>288661902Don't, he's in a better place doing what he loves...
>>288672431Dust that shit man
>>288662281Kanki was still affected by his bald dead friends death.
>>288672431Kanki wouldn't rape Serval, would he...
i don't understand why Kanki is so popular
>>288673369His army was effectively the only period accurate one.
>>288673399>period accuratedo we know legit stuff about that period?
>>288673426Everybody raped and pillaged.
>>288673554i thought you meant tactics or structure
hara should've just made this series about riboku in the first place, he's clearly his favorite character and then you wouldn't have to bend over backwards to make qin seem like the underdogs and not the bad guys
>>288673655Yeah, i would like a historical accurate riboku spinoff.Qin was by far the strongest nation and zhao never recovered from the former general 6 boss genocide, riboku still resisted even full with weakass eldery/kid soldiers and zhao being ravaged by natural disasters.
An idea just crossed my mind: what if mouten's plan was about completely dismantling rikeku's defensive framework and forcing a reconfiguration if the battlefield? And what if Ousen was aware of this from the very beginning? From what we have seen, rikeku's strategy revolved around 2 key objectives: eliminating the targets he considered the greatest threats and maintaining a flexible highly coordinated defensive network capable of neutralizing any isolated offensive. However with mouten effectively throwing that entire strategy info disarray, could this have been exactly what Ousen was waiting for? What if Ousen had already begun moving his forces toward the capital while rikeku's carefully constructed defence was collapsing? We know that rikeku's excels at intricate multilayered planning, whereas Ousen thrives in unpredictable battles where he can adapt to changing circumstances. If that's the case, then the current state of the battlefield may be the worst possible scenario for rikeku's and the idea one for Ousen
>>288674878>What if Ousen had already begun moving his forces toward the capitalanon, how could you forget about the HUGE man with the fucking pigtails??
>>288671846>let me get a good look at his severed handsome headis this bitch a freak?
>>288641485I like Ravages of Time but unfortunately it butchers Cao Cao to wank the geniuses.
>>288674946That giant retard? He'll rage quit. Besides, Ousen is a master of strategic retreats.
>>288654795>It's literally a literal seinen mangaIt doesn't matter when it plays out like a shounenslop.
>>288675000>anon already forgot what happened to Ousen when he first faced him
>>288675056That was back when Ousen was in his hisoka phase and let rikeku dig him a massive hole. He's not delulu anymore this time, Ousen is READY.
>>288675092i believe his new generals will get fucked and he will end up recruiting Shibashou and co. alongside Riboku sama of course.
>>288675141He handpicked them specifically to deal with those two just sayin'
>>288673369Because he pulled off crazy shit time and time again and he and his generals were all way more colourful than the characters in pretty much every other Qin subfaction. He was also a total edgelord which is enough to make him likeable as is but for him to be on the good guys side makes it even more novel. And another thing is that he cut through a lot of the rhetorical bullshit that other characters engaged in, he was an unrepentant murderer and rapist who didn't try and justify what he was doing
>>288673369He represents humanity.
>>288675171>He handpicked themi felt that it was more of beggars can't be choosers than sifting through "applicants"
>>288651779fucking kek
>>288673369
>>288673369he was an outright scum... but he was based… he was a real one… damn it... I miss him so much…
>>288673369He has manly eyebrows.
>>288658390forbidden arts....
>>288661902my warcrime hero...
This guy is actually on great general level but-He chooses defend backwater province-He was exiled-He was a hermit-He refused the fame and promotionWhen did this bullshit started?
>>288672956
>>288675326>-He was a hermitHouken. pretty early on too.
>>288675326Urinonically it was Riboku right?
>>288673369>in the midst of its over i found a hidden we're so backDude almost killed Riboku even when it was 100% sure he and his generals would die. Basically everything he did was super entertaining. He was just fucking around and winning, making everyone seethe.
>>288673369He isn't a moralfag and is a pretty amusing dude. Being a cool looking character is a bonus.
Somebody post the page of Kanki telling Sei to fuck off
Is this correct?
O, my secret army...O, my secret pathways.. O, my secret disciple...O, my secret generals...
>>288675425of course not. the people at the top want the middle and low people to fight it out to stay busy.
>>288675417This one?
>>288675425>the middle class holding the bottom class from deleting the demonsthe guy is just spittin' FACTS
Where is Cucksen?
>>288675528I like this page.
>>288675528That one is also good. >>288675554Oh yeah this one! One of my favorite pages. I said kino out loud when that happened.
>>288675540Ousen will drag this guy to uhh his king, and his king will tell him that he uhh raped the women of his village or something. Then he will rage quit and join his savior and lord, Ousen-dono. calculated.
>>288675540Why do both of the Three Great Heavens look like trannies? is this a mandate from the king?
>>288675425Marx already wrote way back that the lumpenproletariat is the natural ally of the bourgeoisie against the proletariat. Just like the bourgeoisie preys on the proletariat from above, the lumpenproletariat does so from below.
i stopped reading years ago, kinda wanted to continue but i dont remember shit anymore and dont want to read 6 million chapters again
>>288661902What caused Riboku to become so bamboozled by Kankis schemes?All I can remember is him doing some civilian murder but that doesn't seem to be that off the chart for the time period.
>>288675628I haven't read any arcs after the human representative's heroic sacrifice and just started this arc recently. You see, many of us still haven't gotten over the shock from those days...
>>288675628Every battle chapter feels the same, nowadays I just skim through the pages unless something major happens like this week
>>288675628Nigga, just read from where you left off and check the wiki for shit you don't remember. That's what I did after I spent about 2 years without reading the manga.
>>288675628The series doesn't really have an overarching story. You can pick it up at any point and pretty much get what is going on. The characters are pretty one note and quite frequently vocalize their one defining feature so it's not like you are missing some deep lore if you just start randomly. Pick it up from where you left off and you will be fine.
>>288675675Kanki murdered just for murder's sake. at the time, pillaging had a context and no one was tortured just for fun like Kanki did.why Riboku sama was so worried i think because it was the town he started at that Kanki pretended to burn not just a random town.
>>288673369Everyone loves good wild card characters. Everytime he appeared on screen you knew something good was gonna happen, and the way he often created problems for both enemies and allies gave a lot of dynamism to the arcs he participated in.Also Hara managed a very delicate balance with his schemes where they always look batshit insane but also aren't *that* farfetched when you think about it, so you never saw him as an asspull machine either.
>>288651779>even the great strategist karyo tenhara is trolling.
>>288651792god it's been 15 fucking years.
>>288651984this will turn into evangelion level daddy angst.
>>288660736>raughs
>>288675992He also just has the most different way of fighting, which matters a lot when war is this big blobs vs blobs thing (which it more or less has to be). Most other generals are basically interchangeable, like sure you have the power types and more tactician types but if Moubu pulls of a stratagem you could very easily imagine that happening like hes a general of course he knows some basic formations or what ever. Only Kanki actually dresses up as enemy soldier and personally heads out to kill their leader, even the mighty rebook had to use a teleporter for that one. Only Kanki just fucking surrenders the battlefield and fucks off to win, reebook tried this one and got meme'd on by none other than Kanki. Only Kanki fights knowing full well that he will lose, then actually does lose and still wins because of that, reebook needed a secret army for that one.Like who in all honesty can say anything about how Rokuomi fights or how the mighty Na Raku the first general of Ousen uses his tactics? Even relatively MC armies like Gyoku Hou are just filler in most capacities, Ouhon personally comes up with schemes pre battle but so do most other generals too, Akakin pulls a smirk and saves the day sometimes. Like you could take every Ouhon moment and replace him with Mouten and almost all of the scenes would still absolutely work except maybe his duels since Mouten while good in 1v1's doesn't seem to quite on that level. In fact you could reconstruct Ouhon quite well from just putting in Shin, Kyoukai and Karyoten in those same situations. Can't do the same with Kanki.Then his actual army is also unique, they have not only unique fighting style but unique look too. Do the soliders of Tou army differ from the soldiers of Ousen army? What about Hi Shins cavalry vs Moubus cavalry? Hell Qin toops look and act closer to Zhao troops than they do to Kanki troops. Simply put he has an unique personality and unique style.
>>288675319>be the evil version of Kaine>but your evil version of Riboku doesn’t want to breed yousad
>>288673369he has one of the kino-est page in the manga.
>>288675628just re-start from western zhao invasion.
why can't qin just create elite soldier out of thin air like riboku?
>>288676614They don't have his elven magic
zhao can produce more soldiers while having shittier king, less territory, and raided by northern nomad?
>>288676737It's going to be even funnier with Chu who are just straight up undeveloped barbarian lands that regress in metalworking by the time Liu Bang and Xiang Yu duke it out.
>>288674968a hot freak
>>288676737writing tactics is hard. especially since we don't really know much about the time period tactics. please understand.
>>288676737>He doesn't know about Riboku's cloning factories given to him by Planet AndromedaQinDOGS...
how did she know?
>>288677256elven magic
>>288677256If he wasn't exhausted from fucking he would have simply teleported out or perhaps used one of the tunnels he prepared just for the occasion
>>288677256look at her eyes, those are the eyes of an observer or what experts refer to as the elven eyes…>>288676406>even when you're losing you're still winningso true… the story wins are the only wins… and Kan Ki is a story winner…>>288676482him going down was more kino… honestly this guy has a lot of kino panels and frames
>>288676737How far is the series so far? As I understand after Zhao there are still several other states to be taken care of which makes Zhao's defeat sound like the halfway point, but the series has been running for like 2 decades now. Riboku's also been featured so prominently for so long the other states feel like minor characters
Once Ousen inspects that massive wall, he will grasp everything, and that technology will come into his hands. Trust the plan.
>>288677477Riboku is basically the only roadblock and Qin steamrolls the rest with ease. With added Shouheikun betrayal and Shin getting KWABed in Chu.
>>288677621>Qin steamrolls the rest with easeeven Karin?
>>288677636See spoiler and Ousen does something.
>>288677621Hmm sounds like Zhao's defeat would be around 60-75% of the whole story then?
>>288677685I would not be surprised whenever the Chu thing happens, that there are plenty of super generals over there with massive armies to try and raise the stakes with.
>>288678245Chu should have better generals. They don't attack Qin because of the mountains surrounding Qin. Also Chu has a lot internal division as well as a lot enemies and its size makes it hard to commit to longer campaigns. Anyway isn't Qin known for their advanced crossbows? Where is that in the story?
>>288678393Crossbows are not very honorable. You should be beating people into bloody chunks with blades.
>>288676737Don't forget while still suffering from Chouhei
>>288677636Historically Qin was by far the strongest state at that point. Inevitably they will magic up secret armies and new generals for every new state they beat based solely on how long the author wants to keep the series going though.
>>288678829I will never forget Chouhei.
>>288678829>>288679234OY WEI
>>288679234>>288679254>the biggest avenger gets put down by Shin promising never again>Sei: I don't like what those scholars are sayingOh no.
>>288677256Women just know.
>>288631501I guess I should expect it with such a chapter but what a low quality thread
Ribuk could say one word to become the king of Zhao and cuckblock qin once and for all. Sigh.
>>288679735Why didn't he do that? Is it loyalty, or is he simply unfit for the role? I believe he would be a better ruler than any we've seen so far.
>>288673369he was humanity representative
>>288676409they did fuck, she complained on not being ''the one''
So since Lucy is walking around amongst you and is an abomination you're respecting her jewish culture and have set up a corridor of snipers for when her brain can't handle the guilty conscience anymore? What, cruel, me, perish the thoughts.
>>288636111>>288651719>>288651779>>288651792>>288651815
>>288679479fun fact real life Sei had his kid brothers (from Lao Ai) stuffed in a sack and beaten to death. Too bad Qin Shi Huang didn't get a proper representation here. Man was wild.
I don't know why I'm complaining about this manga being bs, when it was already bs from the first campaign. Shin is just gonna Duke Hyou all over Riboku, and everything will be fine.
>>288671433No, it's not, you actual subhuman. Why did you think arguing against its literal definition made any sense whatsoever? Third worlder ''''reasoning'''' in action? Also>Kingdom (Japanese: キングダム, Hepburn: Kingudamu) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yasuhisa Hara. It has been serialized in Shueisha's seinen manga magazine Weekly Young Jump
>>288681378>Shin is just gonna Duke Hyou all over Riboku, and everything will be fine.lmao no. wanna bet?Shin will lose a duel to Riboku sama himself.
>>288681398nta, but seinen is a demographic too>>288671433it matters because it's published in a seinen magazine
>>288675013Shounen isn't defined by its content, solely by where it's published. Everything else is incidental.
>>288681378Nah, his unit will be rescued by some super sneaky 5D Ousen play or something along with Yoko Yoko unleashing his Han might. Then just as Ribouken is about to deploy his secret army that he planted in advanced for just such an occasion with the famous but so far unheard of general leading the charge waiting only on his command the Zhao king will call him in and then make a bitch boy out of him for allowing the Qin to come this close which foils the 6D plan Reebook had cooking up. Hi Shin will be reduced to exactly 17% of their initial strength but no named characters will die outside of lets say Moe
>>288675425He's not talking about middle class but all of the goons (generals, court folks, etc.) enabling clowns like the Kings.
>>288657095Baffled how every general and troops teleported away them.
>>288673369He's an actually well written character that outsmarted these noble class generals with guerilla / suicide missions. Not only that because his team are also a diverse fun cast. Also Kanki was the only guy who didnt give a fuck about Shins moralfagging.Also this moment was hilarious not even Riboku-sama could comprehend until it was too late.
>>288675675Kanki is doing morbid stuff people are thinking of the worst case scenario with him around and everyone gets demoralized and lose their composure everytime he sends bodyparts.Those general who value peoples lives like Riboku and Kisui fell for it.
>>288631501And he could've hid 10x more.
>>288684240This was an era when Bai Qi (Haku Ki on the manga) allegedly buried 400,000 men alive after winning a battle.Generals like Kan Ki should've been the norm and Shin should've really had to fight hard for his moralfagging ways.Instead Kan Ki is treated as an exception.
say my fuarking heroes name
>>288646182Uh piss bros?
>>288660833The army behind Reebok? Actually Ousen army in disguise. Ousen killed Reebok's real army.
>>288679962He didn’t want to establish le precedent.
>>288679962He's like a Yang Wenli but in ancient china. So it makes zero sense since he's not even anti monarchy.>>288687165Let's face it, they could have made up some shit about how he totes have royal blood all along and was actually some prince that was abandoned so he totes have mandate of heaven and the gov plus people would have rolled with it. The nips did it by all liking to claim they're descended from genji or some shit. The chinese themselves claim to be descended to be so and so too. If I recall, Three Kingdoms even had a subplot about recovering some royal seal/stamp because it meant you're totally legit that's why you have the stamp that was passed through the generations.
>Chapter 879 SpoilersOk so how will Shin actually get out of the trap?
>>288687465He glaves harder.Kyouka uses her secret tribe martial arts and pushes it to the next limit again.Mouten makes it in time, somehow.
>>288687465just like Ouki, he charges
>>288631501If I liked Arslan Senki, will I like Kingdom?Also are the adaptations any good? What I saw looked like CGI.
>>288687548Just read the Kingdom manga up to the Coalition Arc and see if you want to continue. If you've read the Arslan Senki manga you'll probably like Kingdom.
>>288659123Kanki would've done something
>>288673369That's like asking why Kumagawa was so liked, are you even reading the manga?
>>288687465>it's another Ten bullying chapterBros...
>>288688787To be fair, has Ten ever made a game changing strategic decision?She has always been Shin's admin and logistics sidekick.
>>288688787The mangaka genuinely has no idea what he wants to do with her character.
>>288688979Kyoukai will probably die like Ouki's gf, and then Ten might finally get to stand up from the cuck chair, or maybe Shin will get a million wives to cope and cuck her harder than she was ever cucked before.
>>288676955What do you mean there were totally a super state, right?
>>288689153Baiyuebluds…
>>288689153>they This is Riboku's fault
>>288688808She has frankly been useless ever since the first arc she joined up as strategist. Doubly so ever since Shin unlocked his ultra instinct mode and just started doing what ever the fuck he wanted and still winning.
>>288676955>Xiang YuHe looks familiar...
>>288664379>>288664598>stakesThis retarded buzzword.Newsflash: we knew all the significant outcomes from the beginning. We know who wins. The interesting parts are "how" they are going to win. The interplay of schemes, the twists the author puts on historical characters. The problem with Kingdom's writing since after the Qin rebellion arc is not the lack of "stakes". It is the author repeating the stale shit of Qin forces somehow being underdogs in every singe battle, and Reebook asspulling endless elite armies and level 95 generals to make them underdogs. And then Qin usually winning anyway despite the odds, and Reebook getting wanked despite somehow losing while holding every conceivable advantage. It is just boring. It had been whole arks since someone actually did something clever.
>>288676614Qin are honest and fair, unlike Reebok with his dishonest cloning device. Look at the old men here >>288666187
>>288681012Kek, amazing pic. Never stay around in Kingdom thread before, I should do this more often.
>>288681012Source on the execution method?
>>288683493>>288684240My stomach hurts now. Good shit, anons.
>>288651779There is no way this will backfire Riboku. The King will give him a medal for this.
>>288686643Li Mu
>>288689851Stakes can exists even when you know what the overall result will be. If you think secret armies and asspulls are a problem now wait till they have to attack Yan or something where there's 0 development. It's going to be a cavalcade of elite armies spawning from thin air only to get jobbed on because that's how it went historically.Riboku despite doing tons of asspulls is at least consistent in the way that he keeps asspulling, you know what to expect so it's still interesting when stuff happens. Outside of ribbers who we have actually left, Yan has that one super duper general that has jobbed to everyone so far. Gohoumei is probably the most interesting character left if you ask me in Wei not only because he has lot of screen time but like Kanki he has an actual unique fighting style too. Qi is just going to surrender. Han is done. Chu is probably the only major arc left since it required few invasions historically and Shin jobs there so I expect there's couple major arcs there before the series ends, still they have what Karin and the few rival young generals. Chu arc will have stakes pretty much automatically since Shin loses there but I dunno about the rest.
>>288689153Chu will be a superpower by 200 BC trust the plan
>>288675625>Muh marx outta knowhereGet a job fatty afterwards stay in r*ddit where you belong and dont ever come back nigger.

>>288673369I miss him, i want to feel represented again
>>288673369I dropped this after he died. Hara can't write. There are light novels which write better strategy and tactics these days.
>>288691146Shio
>>288694731He died during the battle according to the historical records. It wouldn't really make sense to keep him around as a major general after that.
>>288690199Most edits are from the storytime that happened about 5 years ago.
>>288695489I know, I mean I only kept reading cause I liked his character.
>All those doom-postersRiboku is famous and Hara's pet character so he feels obliged to have all these asspulls in order to make him look like a 200IQ genius. I don't think we will get too many hidden armies and the like after Zhao. We just had the conquest of Han ,which was pretty straighforward, with Qin mostly pummeling their opposition.

He's so gonna kill off Bihei...
>>288699147What will happen is that Bihei dies while saving Shin but then Shin dies as well. Kyoukai 2 will then revive Shin. The next 10 chapters will be moralizing how it should have been Bihei that got revived and Kyoukai 2 gets blamed for all of this. This peer pressure and scorn causes her to go berserk and kill Riboku in his sleep. Luckily that was merely his host body, the real Riboku having moved his mind inside Kaine already, successfully reviving as Ribkoku Ribkoku goes on to sneakily lead a happy life in Qin with Kaine finally serving a true king. Of course just as he is about to come of age Qin Shi Huang dies of Mercury poisoning.
